G-100 G-Shock Men Watch

I really need to get a hold on this G-Shock obsession! This was bought as an alongside to my Casio S820-W (which Google gives this G-100 as the G-Shock alternative) and its not a disappointment. The size works well on my 7.5" wrist and will do the job nicely. The actual face I would compare to something like a 36mm watch but as the resin construction beefs this up I don't feel like I'm wearing something as 'cute' as the F-91W! Sure the negative display is pretty pants but as I only use it for the day/date that's not really a bother. Like the green electro-luminescent backlight on the digi-display but the hands and numeral lume is to be expected, not great but hey it's a G-Shock and anyone with any idea of these understands the shortcomings of a sub £100 watch. Saying that it's a great beater, easy to wear all day and the usual buckle strap can be let out easy enough to release an over heated wrist!! and I'm sure it will love getting to know it's friends in the overcrowded watch box!! The worst thing about the purchase was the seller who promised next day delivery then entrusted it to Evri who didn't bother with that as they do as they please.... Still it came in a G-Shock tin rather than the usual box most of the ones I buy arrive in. Granted the tin was for a slightly different model but this isn't going to keep me up at night.

Just what I wanted lovely watch well made not too big and chunky just the right fit comfortable and easy to set up did not have to read the manual took 2 minutes to work out this is the first hybrid watch I have owned I have about 10 automatic watches costing 3 to 4 hundred each and the problem I have is the lum is not great in the dark and they have no light so from now one I will only be buying g shock watches also it’s 200 m waterproof I don’t think I will ever buy an automatic watch again stick with Casio 😀

What can I say - the watch is nine years old, and still going strong. Unbelievably, it's still on the original battery it was supplied with! I don't use it very often these days but generally take it to events that are likely to not be friendly for your more pricey/fragile watches. For an everyday 'beater' watch, it's money well spent. Your average junky quartz watch will most likely have a poor movement inside (Sekonda etc) but I suspect that the movement in this watch is relatively good quality even at this level. I daresay their high end models have very high quality components but I have no quibbles with what I've seen in this model after nine years. Casio's production facility is like a space age lab and I suspect everything is made in house including the aforementioned movements so I have alot of faith in them as a brand. However, to be totally honest their not really to my tastes anymore but I don't think you can go with wrong one as a 'take it anywhere and do anything' watch. My only quibble is with the time setting function in that you have to hold a button down to advance the hands very slowly in only a clockwise direction so summertime adjustment is a tad painful but oh well..hardly a huge problem. On a side note - I 'stealthed' mine by removing all the printed text off the case and it looks great - like a bare bones military type watch. I'm not a big fan of the 'features' that Casio love plastering about on their models cases/panels!

I needed a cheap tough watch having decided I did not want a Smart data watch (Apple, Nike etc) for when I go rough bike riding. At under £50 this was my choice. Must admit this came when I was reading Chris Kyle's "American Sniper" book and he stated these watches were the standard issued product he always wore (though he does not state the specific model) which seemed recommendation enough as evidence of practical hard usage. Overall I am so happy with, that I now wear it nearly all the time as a casual watch and not just for bike riding! Very strong (especially bracelet, which is a fault of many competitors) and the choice of analog hand watch and light up digital watch are probably the two main features I use most. I suspect my use of the stopwatch and alarm will be very limited so cannot comment. Main personal tip is wear very loose on your wrist and you will hardly notice - too tight and the strap is tight on movement more than many comparable watches I found. Chose black as the most practical colour and no regrets and face is easily readable in most lights. If the battery really does last ten years claimed then I will be a very happy buyer!

Great watch. Slightly smaller than a usual g shock but good smaller mans size.

Bought this watch as had gone through 3 watches in last year at work due to the nature of my job, can often get bashed about a fair bit. This was my first g-shock watch and am very impressed so far. Clear easy to read features in any light, has all the basic functions you'd need, very light and not at all bulky as it may appear in the images. has already had a few knocks and still works fine. Some people have moaned on here about the digital display being difficult to read when the analogue hands are in the way, but what do you expect from a dual watch? its really no big deal at all. a very reliable, lightweight and easy to use watch. comfortable to wear in all conditions and a bargain at the price it is here on amazon. would recommend it to anyone, a truly fantastic buy.

I dont generally buy watches for their good looks or follow fashion as a whole, but this watch has both the good looks and is a follower of fashion. Its simple to use, easy to set up, yes i have to agree with many of the reviews i have read before i purchased, that the back light isnt on for long and that it is almost impossible to see the analogue time when in the dark (but thats why theres a back light on the digital clock). The strap is comfy, wide and feels good on my wrist. Apart from not wanting to take it off since it arrived, its a great watch, you just cant get any better. If i could put 10 stars then thats just what i would give.

I was very skeptical on what this watch would be like... When I received it in the post and opened it, my face lit up... It's so nice to look at, and is very durable... It's nice and chunky as well which I love... I hate small watches! Time keeping on this watch is also excellent... If you love analogue and digital together, then this is the watch for you.... The watch is perfectly packaged too, and the service/delivery is excellent... Will definitely be purchasing more G-Shocks from Amazon... Going to get a collection :) BUY THIS BAD BOY!

Excelente Producto, es la segunda vez que lo compro.

Relógio top. Caixa menor do que os demais Gshock.

I had recently purchased the Casio F91W but returned it when I found this watch on Amazon. I had never owned a G-Shock watch before, however, I did know that they were good watches with an excellent reputation. I have small wrists - about 6 inches - but still wanted a G-Shock watch, even though most of their case sizes are 50 mm and above. This watch has around a 40 mm case diameter which is perfect for my wrist without being too large and bulky. The watch is quite thick - about 13 mm - however, this isn't a real problem considering how durable it is and the fact that I sometimes forget it is even on. The band is made of resin which feels a bit like rubber but without the stickiness. The case is also supposed to be made out of resin and it feels very rugged and durable. It is a G-Shock after all. The buttons seem to be made of metal and have just the right amount of give. Some people have complained about setting the analog watch hands. To set the watch hands, I pressed the top left button until the watch hands matched up with the current time. Unlike the other buttons, the top left button barely sticks out and is very hard and uncomfortable to press, however, you won't be resetting it often, as it is very accurate at timekeeping with a quartz timekeeper. For something that I would only have to do maybe once or twice a year I don't see it as a problem. In fact, I see it as a good thing since it won't be accidentally pressed. The watch face protector is hard and appears to be glass. The digital face can be setup to either show the date or the time down to the second with a few button presses. It can also be used as a stopwatch, an alarm, or to show another time from another time zone. The alarm beep is also pretty loud, which is a plus. The one feature that is missing is a timer. On my old Shark Classic watch there was a timer function with a few preset durations. I still think that that is a minor problem, however. As opposed to on my Casio F91W, the watch can be easily read in the dark. The analog hands and hour tick marks glow green in the dark, and the digital face has a green light which can be activated with the bottom right button for around 2 seconds at a time. The watch also features 200 m water resistance, which is more than enough for 99% of people. The watch also features magnetic resistance, which should protect the timekeeper from being thrown off by magnetic fields produced by electronics. My only real complaint is that when the minute hand is between 20 and 40 minutes it partially blocks the digital watch face, but that isn't much of a problem in my opinion. For $50, this is a fantastic watch. It looks great, functions well, and has the reputation of Casio's G-Shock lineup. All in all, I would definitely recommend this watch. Pros: - Looks great - Durable - Right size for me - Made of quality material - Easy to read at night - G-Shock reputation Cons: - No timer - Digital face sometimes gets partially covered. - Analog and digital watch face

J'ai totalement craqué pour cette montre magnifique ! Je voulais une G-SHOCK car je pratique un peu la plongée, et je vais souvent à la piscine. La G-100-1BVMUR propose un affichage analogique et digitale de toute beauté (j'adore la forme des aiguilles), une résistance à la pression jusqu'à 200 mètres, l'anti-magnétisme, et propose un look très "vintage" militaire du plus bel effet ! Ni trop petite sans être non plus trop imposante, elle est le parfait compromis entre efficacité et élégance. De plus les réglages sont intuitifs, je n'ai même pas eu besoin de la notice.. Je reproche à certains modèles G-SHOCK d'afficher trop de paramètres, et du coup de manquer de lisibilité, ce qui n'est pas du tout le cas avec la G-100-1BVMUR. Dans l'obscurité les aiguilles et le cadran sont fluorescents et il n'est pas indispensable d'utiliser le rétro éclairage (couleur verte). Merci à Casio pour ce superbe modèle, j'en suis très satisfait.

The watch came earlier than expected and fit perfectly for my kid and even for me as adult it all good. Really looks very cool. Like it so much. Thank you
