I purchased this watch to use while coaching my kid’s football team. It has everything I need, and it withstands the elements out on the grid iron. This watch keeps things simple. It really fits my coach image. Looks great with gym shorts, t-shirt, and tennis shoes. I also wear it to formal events with suit and tie. It is the perfect tool for coaching. I recommend this watch to any guy that is athletic and requires a watch to keep up with their demanding life style. It achieves perfection through simplicity. The resin band is extremely comfortable and sporty. The rigdes in the band allow for air flow around the wrist where I usually sweat. The display has all of the essential information in the home time keeping mode.
This is the toughest, longest lasting and best looking watch for a man to wear. I am very happy with the size of the watch face and Cartier W3109699 band. Back light looks great, easy to read face, even underwater. I have worn it in some extreme conditions already, snowmobiling, surfing, spear fishing, riding a motorcycle, working on cars, knee boarding, wake boarding, and even in some very hot natural hot springs! Looks great, feels great. Maybe I should buy another in case I ever lose this one… I think its better than the solar version, have heard many times that the solar ones dont keep their battery life very long. Mike B – SoCal
I bought this watch on sale years ago for normal daily wear. I thought it looked rugged, but I had no idea just how rugged it truly was until I took up SCUBA diving. It survived life banging around boats for weeks on end as I literally traveled around the world. I wore it on hundreds of SCUBA dives up to 140 feet below the surface. Whether getting me get back to the surface before my air ran out or getting me to a sidewalk cafe before a blind date ran out this watch was always there for me. My Casio G-Shock never stopped running, it never leaked and never it let me down. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

As you get to be my age, it is difficult to find the products that defined a category still in production. The new replacements often have modifications that in my mind make them inferior to the originals. Sometimes it appears as though the new product was designed by someone who has actually never used one in “real life.” Typically, I am forced to access the pre-owned market to get what I want. Not in this case. The Casio Men’s G-shock Classic Digital Watch is very similar to the watch that replaced the stop watch, the dry land and not-so dry land wrist watch, and alarm clock a couple of decades ago. It has just enough functionally to be truly useful – time (24 or 12 hour), date (helps when filling out those forms that are becoming part of daily life), alarm (for those early morning activities), stop watch (for that interval training necessary to retain some of the speed of youth), and a couple of other things that have slipped my mind
all in a small and durable package. Good, inexpensive, tough, useful watch.
This is my favorite G-shock watch, it is not atomic, not solar….but the battery lasts years and the watch is just about indestructible. The band keeper will go, but you can replace that with a cable tie….if the watch is in the water and sun a lot eventually the case plastic will crack….but this watch keeps on going….it is not gaudy like some of the Casio watches…it’s appearance is understated….you could get by wearing this watch anywhere….buy it…you won’t be sorry
Sadly, my 20-year-old Casio G Shock watch has finally died. I bought it for diving in 1988, and I’ve used it so many times over the years. Since I’m a woman, I was teased for wearing such an “undainty” watch, but when you use it for sports/outdoors, who’s looking to be dainty? I highly recommend this watch, and I’m surprised that something good is still being offered! If you’re looking for a quality, economical, tough watch, do not hesitate to buy this one!
Had Cartier Santos W20126X8 the cheap version of this watch for 15 years – it went snorkeling, swimming, diving – never had any problem, even though it was not rated for snorkeling/diving – band finally broke while kayaking and watch is somewhere in Kern river, probably still keeping time. Upgraded to this version, which appears to be a ruggedized version. Haven’t really had it long enough to rate it, but on the basis of past experience with its lesser cousin, I think it’s going to be a great buy.

I think they stopped making these because the calendar programmed into it goes back to 1995. Nonetheless, I have never had a better watch/stopwatch/chronometer, etc. And it has the fade-out “indiglo” thing that is better than previous models. Best of all, when in stopwatch or countdown mode, a box at the top shows real time. No other watch I know of has this simple yet essential feature. Completely durable. Since the previous one of these I owned went 10+ years on the original battery, and I do not know when this one was manufactured, I have no idea how long this one will last, but I know I will wish I had bought two. The price is right, and I got a $[...] rebate for signing up for an Amazon credit card. My only problem, at 50, is that sometimes my arms are not long enough to read it….nor any other watch smaller than big ben. A personal problem, I know.
My first exposure to a G-shock was in the engine room of a USN destroyer, on the wrist of a gas turbine technician while we were standing the midwatch. “That watch looks tough,” I said. “I don’t know…let’s Cartier W2020008 find out,” he replied, then took it off, picked up a rubber mallet and started pounding it like a madman. It bounced around on the deck plates but never cracked or broke. I was sold.
This watch looks identical to that watch but is deficient in a few ways. The second time zone feature is gone, and perhaps as a result the functions of the buttons are rearranged in a way that feels screwy. New purchasers of the watch will probably like it just fine. Users who bought the old version for $25 twenty years ago from the commissary will have the unpleasant feeling of talking to a best friend who’s been lobotomized.
It’s still a solid product–excellent for all manner of outdoor activities (though too thick to fit inside a standard dress shirt sleeve cuff)–but I’m frustrated with Casio’s poor headwork in redesigning it backwards.
Over the years I have owned a great any timepieces. Everything from Rolexes and Omegas to cheapy no-name pieces of junk. In my work which involves a great deal of time on, in and under the water, there has only been one watch that has never let me down – the Casio G-Shock. It does the job, day in and day out. I’ve managed to wear out cases and straps on G-Shocks, but I’ve never flooded one or had it fail. I really don’t need fancy, I need dependable and the Casio is the most dependable timepiece I’ve ever found.

So I received it in my gold plated mailbox on my solid gold driveway next to my diamond cut grass on my 100 acre land next to the 30 story mansion when I noticed the watch was made from plastic with some big letter on the back “CHINA” And so I put it on and it shocked me so bad I went to the hospital and died. This is a load of crap.
DIS WILL BRING U BTCHES, I AM A PART TIME PIMP AND MY BUSINESS INCREASE 50% AFTER I BAUGHT DIS WATCH AND IT WAS EVEN CHEAPER HERE THAN AT DA PAWN SHOP SO ITS A GOOD DEAL
Many of you have made jokes regarding this watch, but let me tell you the tale of the Zenith that is as old as time. You see, the Bible speaks of the Zenith in Genesis. God said, “let there be Zenith!” before anything else. From the Zenith’s ability to create matter (sorry, all you Physics professors), Earth was made.
Throughout history, the Zenith has shown it’s work. However, the magnificence of Zenith has not always been pretty. If you remember from history class, the bubonic plague killed off almost 1/4 of the world. The plague was actually the result of Zenith’s punishment to the world, especially the English, for not producing the Zenith’s own, “Magna Zenith” (Great Zenith) in 1215. Instead, the English went with Magna Carta. Zenith vowed revenge on the world for the ultimate of snubs.
In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the “New World.” Well, this may be the popular theory to this date. However, truth be told – it was actually Zenith who sought a nice tropical paradise in the Bahamas for relaxation. Having some remorse for Rado R18569233 unleashing the world’s deadliest epidemic known to man, Zenith decided to pass along the location of this new found world to it’s close friend, Columbus.
That is just an example of the lengthy history of Zenith’s magnificence. Recently, the work of Zenith can be found in today’s motion pictures. Many of you have seen National Treasure, where the Free Masons allegedly hid the “World’s Treasure” from the British. Well, as you may have guessed it……historically, the Zenith hid the Free Masons. Zenith, of course, was not happy with the movie’s interpretation.
Zenith’s vengeance? The stock market crash of 2008…..enough said.
No man….to this day…..knows the whereabouts of Zenith. However, experts speculate that Zenith is hibernating somewhere in a South American rainforest, ready and able to unleash his great power amongst the world.
I must say, many of you are correct in your association of Zenith with Chuck Norris. Legend has it that Zenith and Chuck Norris will decide the fate of the world, as described in Revelations.

I’m a building contractor who’s been wearing G-shocks since 1986. I’ve probably gone through five of them. With the earlier models I was always having to replace the watch band because I brutalized them so badly on the jobsite. The most recent one I bought was the DW9052. Good watch and the band lasted very well, but the battery is starting to go so I’ve ordered a new Gulfman. The problem with the DW9052 watch is that the battery is only rated for two years. Granted, I got nearly four years out of it, but I’m buying the Gulfman this time because it has a battery that is rated for seven years. Of course, it costs twice as much, which proves you get what you pay for. (Never pay to have a Cartier W31072M7 battery replaced in a G-shock, since they can’t guarantee it will remain waterproof after they open the watchcase.)
G-shocks in general are the sturdiest watches ever built. I’ve beaten the hell out of mine for over 20 years. To borrow a phrase from another manufacturer, “they take a lickin and keep on tickin.”
One more thing: if a G-shock is your every day watch and you own a dress watch as well, be careful when you wear the dress watch. They aren’t as forgiving as G-shocks. You forget you are wearing them and end up going body surfing or something. It’s happened twice to me while on vacation. I destroyed a Universal Geneve that my wife bought me in Singapore and nearly ruined a Tissot. My wife was not amused.

I have a Timex Ironman Traithlon Sleek 50/100 (T54281) that lives up to its name–sleek. My partner needed a new watch, so I ordered this one so we wouldn’t have the same watch. When it arrived, I was a bit surprised at how big it is compared to the Sleek 50/100, and when he put it on, it was just too big for him (he’s only 5′7″ and I’m 6′0″), so I gave him my watch and kept this one. It took me a while to get used to the size of it, but I’ve grown accustomed to it. Aesthetically, I still like the Sleep 50/100 better, but functionally, I like it as much as I’ve liked any of my previous Ironman watches.
One thing I noticed about the Sleek watch that I hadn’t noticed on previous Ironman watches is that it is very easy to change modes when you bend your hand back like you might when lifting weights. Even though the size surprised me, one reason I ordered it was that I thought its bulkiness and protective protrusions around the mode button might keep it from changing mode when working out. They don’t. Wear it while pressing a few pounds, and you will most likely change it from from one mode to another.
I only gave it four stars because the FLIX function Baume Mercier 8809 requires you to really shake your arm to make the INDIGLO light up. It’s easier to just press the INDIGLO button with your other hand–assuming you have one and it is free.
If money is important to you, I’d recommend the cheaper non-FLIX versions. Otherwise, this watch is a great buy for anyone who likes Ironman watches, wants to save a little money over purchasing one in a sporting goods store, and doesn’t mind wildly shaking your arm to invoke the FLIX function.
I bought this watch to help me with the “Couch to 5K” (c25k) running program. This entails nine weeks of running three times per week. It progresses from a very easy start (first week starts with brisk five minute walk, then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes). Then the second week it’s 90 seconds of jogging, 2 minutes of walking, and so on, until by the end of it you’re running 3 miles or 20 minutes non-stop. It’s a nice program for people who are out of shape. So I wanted a watch that could help me time all this, and this model does the trick perfectly. It’s been a while since I owned a digital watch, and I’m impressed with how much thought has gone into the design. The little things jumped out at me when I started playing with it – for example, pressing the ‘Reset’ button will show in big letters ‘HOLD to reset’ while you have it pressed in, which makes it obvious how it works. If you know the general idea of how these things usually work, then you really don’t need a manual. Here’s a quick rundown:

I absolutely love digital watches!! Very practical to wear all the time. I rarely take it off. It’s also good for me, because I work in the health care and food service fields, where I wash my hands constantly, and don’t have to worry about my watch being in the water. It is also stays put when I’m playing with my two-year old son (I don’t have to worry about him breaking it either). I like the light on it, because when it’s dark, I can still see what time it is. When the watch came, it was already set (like 5 minutes fast), so I’m not late Baume Mercier 8757 for anything!!! Even though this is a man’s watch (and I’m a woman), I still wear it! Ladies…the boyfriend watch style is in…
My husband like lightweight watches. I found this on Amazon and bought two of them. I have the other one in case he loses the one he wears daily. The velcro strap is nice. He can pull it off quickly when he wants to play with our little girls. Then he won’t hurt them with his watch.
I bought this as a inexpensive watch for everyday use. I’m hard on watches (scratched crystal) and usually need new one before the battery dies. The buttons on this one are protected, therefore making it hard to press them easily.
I Had This Watch Since I Was A Sophomore In High School. I Am 27 Now, And It Still Works Great. I Never Even Had To Change The Battery. Easy To Use A Great Product For A Great Price. I Am Definitely Getting A Second One.

I own three Omegas, two Citizens and three Seikos, but the little Casio Forester is the watch that goes with me into harm’s way. I work in very severe conditions–in the Middle East. You don’t want to expose a fine mechanical or even quartz watch to daily dust baths and searing desert heat. The little Casio has held up through the worst of conditions, and still keeps time to within 15 seconds a month of the atomic clock in Colorado. It’s highly water resistant, and so light you hardly know it’s on your wrist. Amazon sells this watch under $20. How can you complain about a rugged, accurate watch for under $20? I usually wear an Omega when going “out on the town,” but the Casio is my watch for the dust storms and being around things that could knock your expensive watch silly. My expensive watches will last Baume Mercier 8685 much longer because I have sense enough not to wear them to work!
I picked this up from Walmart near the same cost. With all the watches to look through in the carousel, I kept coming back to this one. I needed something to replace a nice simple Timex that broke after a couple years.
The timex was great and still works but rendered useless as the light function / button broke. I now use it as a dog collar on my sister-in-law’s Chihuahua. (Now a true “watch dog”)
The selling points for me, seemingly durable, extremely comfortable, small but significant face, much less intrusive and bulky as compared to the old dog collar. The light is fantastic and extremely bright. I even use it to light my path through the house at night without the need of turning on overhead lights. (going from sofa to bed without disturbing anyone)
The price and styling cant be beat. Overall, a fantastic durable, comfortable bargain of a watch. I will be wearing this 24/7 just as I did the old dog collar
