The dark gray GA700UC-8A from the GA-700UC Utility Color Series is one of three models with military-inspired colors. The low-temperature LCD screen makes the watch great for mountaineering, but also working in a laboratory’s cold room. Very clear and easy to read at a glance with white hands on black background. Digital display is adequate size, bigger than some other casios, but I would like to see bigger. Nice that it has the feature to move the hands out of the way of digital display if needed.

The first G-Shock DW-5000C in 1983 was likely one of the most heavily tested products ever created. G-Shock Protection and Shock Resist were not just marketing gimmicks but the result of a dedicated personal mission and truly innovative design. G-Shock founding father and team leader Kikuo Ibe was driven by his passion to create an unbreakable watch. The team used over 200 prototypes to build and test the first G-Shock and it took over two years to develop the final product. Ibe created a heavily shock resistant watch using the concept of a hollow structure that was inspired by a simple rubber ball. Key components in the module like the crystal oscillator were outfitted with additional cushioning material.

An advantage of this watch is that the digits on the LCD display are very large compared to other G-Shocks.
