G-Shock by Casio Men's Analog-Digital GGB100-1A Watch Black

Bought for me as a gift. I absolutely love this watch. It has the look and feel of a proper g shock, really sturdy, and good size.This model has a sensible amount if features, I particularly wanted one with a compass -this feature works really well, and I use it to check my navigating compass. I also like the high/low pressure and sunrise/sunset times as I use these for fishing.Other features like step counter and altitude I don't really use, although I have used the drop pin feature which you can use to navigate back to, but in reality as you need to be connected to your phone to use it, you probably have a map app that can do this just as well.The casio app has recently been updated and improved, and automatically syncs and updates the time for you.I don't use the app for much else, other than occasionally adjusting settings or alarms (you can do this using the watch buttons too).I do find that when manually connecting the watch via Bluetooth that it drops out very easily, keeping the watch and phone literally next to each other helps,as does taking the phone case off, but the connection is pretty weak.The display is great, lots of customizable info available, and the digital and analogue display looks really cool, the light is really bright, and can be operated with the large push button or set to automatically come on with a flick of the wrist.Battery life is estimated at 2yrs, mines lasted a bit longer, when I read the manual the battery life allows for the assumption that the various features are used quite heavily which explains why I've only had to replace mine recently at 2.5 yrs from new. The watch was still working and not showing any low battery indicator, but the hands started not keeping sync with the digital display-replacement fixed this so it's obviously one of the first signs of low power.I paid £40 for battery replacement and pressure testing, I've watched some videos of replacement and it looked straightforward, but I didn't want to risk screwing up an expensive watch (Although I may d.i.y it in future). According to the guy in the shop its the analogue display that takes up a lot of the battery Power, my dad has a similar gshock that's only digital and his lasted 5+years-so i reckon he's right.Overall I think this watch is brilliant, it has everything and more that I want in a watch, and I've worn it every single day 24/7 for 2.5 years, it's taken a fair few knocks while backpacking, fishing and through general wear and tear, and it still looks absolutely brand new.Definitely recommend!

A found this watch was great with multiple functions all went well until the battery was changed.The time didn't adjust with the app,manual adjustments failed to align the analogue dial with digital clock.I viewed many online videos on this aspect but try as I might I couldn't get the times aligned the best I managed was the analogue clock was 10 minutes behind the digital.Had enough so back to my old watch.
