In April of 1983, the G-SHOCK DW-5000C was unveiled, and a TV news station tested out the watch live, including whacking it with a hockey stick, as if it was a puck. The G-SHOCK timepiece survived, and the world was introduced to the legendary line. Known for their brutish design, G-SHOCK watches are perfect for adventurers, blue-collar workers, g shock protection military personnel, and hungry athletes. They are some of the toughest watches on the planet thanks to sturdy 10-layer construction that protects the quartz movement. G-SHOCK is always the right choice when you’re looking for an efficient timekeeper that’s suitable for the apocalypse, but there’s an overwhelming amount of models available.
The 200-meter water-resistant watch has a Carbon Core Guard structure, world time with 31 time zones, double LED light, shock-resistance, and a 1/100-second stopwatch, so you can time things just right. It also has LCD sub-displays, high-contrast analog hands, and a menu sub-dial, making it easy to read in any situation. For me the biggest advantage of the GW vs DW6900-1V is the “solar” rechargeable battery.
This model’s design is quite different from Baby G’s and the main G-Shock line. It’s basically a slimmer, more compact watch model that is perfect for both formal and casual wear. The MSGS200G-7A is still shock-resistant, which is a staple for the G-Shock models; it also has a mineral glass, a screw-lock crown, and it has 100m water resistance. Gravitational Shock, or commonly known as G-Shock, has taken the world by storm.
The light is not needed to luminate the hands and numbers for analog time keeping at night. The light is inadequate as a flashlight and does not light up the stop watch, timer, alarm, date/day, world time. If you need night time lumination & cant use a flashlight get a different model. I guess shame on me for not confirming that the light lite up all features at night.
This extra-large 53.4mm watch is ideal for those with bigger wrists. Other features include world time, 5 daily alarms with 1 snooze alarm, stopwatch, and countdown timer. The dark gray GA700UC-8A from the GA-700UC Utility Color Series is one of three models with military-inspired colors. The main display hands are large and easy to read quickly, and the digital display is excellent for stopwatch and timer functionality. One surprisingly nice feature is the quick shortcut to make the two analog hands move upward and away from the digital display, so you can clearly see it when using the stopwatch and timer functions. Overall, the watch has a comfortable feel and great look – it’s not too thick or large in radius, and I don’t have difficulty wearing it with a long-sleeved garment.
