After much reviewing several g shocks online i finally setteled for this one.
I bought this watch 4 years ago and let me tell you….. it does not dissapoint.
Since i travel a lot and am often on expeditions in various climates, i needed a watch that could endure and still be a relatively accurate chronograph. This watch has it all (and no, im not getting paid for saying this
Its a bit big and bulky, those are probably the only cons.
Iv had this watch while mountain climbing the alps, hiking the himalayas, running sand dunes in egypt and even diving. Its full of scratches and nicks but still works. The data page comes in handy for storing in flight numbers while travelling, and the 24 hrs stopwatch and timer are more than what other watches offer (usually only 1 hour). Although a nice feature, i havent had much use for the automatic backlight (you can set it to automatically light up when angeling the watch at a 45 degree angle). The 5 alarm concept is once again more than you’ll get with other watches, you can set the alarms for daily use or set them for a future time (time, date, year). Even though dual time is pretty much standard in most watches its great having world time, since i travel often, this feature comes in handy. But my favorite thing bout this watch (except for its never dying ability) is the solar panel. I now live in a country where you get to see the sun 3-4 months a year but thats enough to charge this watch and have it going all year.
To prove my point to my wife (who’s not a big fan of g-shocks):
-Iv driven over it with our suv.
-Had it in a tug of war with my dog.
-Dropped it from a hight of 6 meters while rock climbing (this was an accident).
-Tied it to a rope and sank it to the bottom of a 5 meter river for 5 days.
Needless to say, its still alive and kicking
At present im using this watch during my orthopedic residency, and if i dont survive the surgical residency, im sure the g-shock will.
As a finishing note, i finally got a g shock for my wife (not a baby g), and now she’s a big fan of these watches. All i can say is that this is probably the best watch iv had so far.
Takes a beating and keeps on ticking.

do not waste your time and money on a casio product> mine quite after 38 days. would shut down to low battery level. i tryed every thing to get it rechareged. it would only half charge.work for about 5 to 6 hours. then back to low battery reading. called customers serv. they said mail it to them at my exspence. oh and be sure to insure it again at my exspence. it was going to cost me more money than the worthless piece of junk was worth. they then told me they would just replace it. i was thinking they would send me a new watch. wrong again, they were going to send me a referbished piece of junk. needless to say i was rather upset about it. so do your self a big faver and just skip these clowns. buy a eco-drive by citizen. they at least don’t jerk you around. i hope this helps.if enough poeple stay away maybe they will biuld a better product and better customer sev.

Had 3 Timex Iron-Mans die in 3 years so I thought is was time for a change. I’ve had the watch a month and am very happy so far. Only gripes are:
1. Getting to stopwatch is cumbersome and it doesn’t store splits.
2. Display could be bigger.
3. I’d like a weekday option for alarms.

Excellent watch, looks nice, fit comfortably it has nice features, extremely resistant. Love the watch and I’ll recommend to keep on this brand for sport tough watches.

I bought this watch because I was tired of cheap Timex watches. I like the shiny bezel on this one but I wish it wasn’t covered up. I like smaller numbers so I don’t feel like its “large print” for older people. I did not want to spend too much and shipping was free. My brother has one and informed me of something I did not realize when I bought it. Apparently, the watch has two batteries: one that comes fully charged and one that is solar charged just like those “solar” calculators. He says the watch runs slow now that it relies solely on the “solar” battery (he has had it for several years now). I assumed that solar power had been improved since the days of those silly “solar” calculators! I guess nothing is perfect but I thought “solar” meant I would never have to replace the battery. I guess I will find out in a few years.
