CasioG-Shock Men's Watch in Resin with Anti Slip Over Sized Buttons - Water Resistant & Anti Magnetic

G-shock rocks.

Keeps time accurately. Display is clear. Very strongly made and built well. Strap length is great. I have pretty big wrists and it fits really well.

I read a lot of reviews and spent time (far more than I should have!) deliberating which G shock to get. I do lot of walking/sporty stuff and want a watch that I wouldn't need to remove for a 4 month trip to Asia. I love the look of analogue/digital watches and the balance of aesthetics and functionality in this watch really won me over.It's important to note that the main gripe people have with this watch (and the thing I was most concerned about) is the LED light that illuminates the face. I NEEDED this watch to be usable in the dark so was prepared to return the watch in the event of the watch being 'unreadable', as some people have described it as being. I cannot emphasise this enough, THE LIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY FINE. I am aware it's all down to personal preference, but I have absolutely no problem reading this watch - both the hands AND the digital screens - in the dark. Yes, it's not optimal - a light behind the screen would be more functional, but if you desperately require that feature you're better off buying the GD-100 or similar full digital G-shock anyway. The benefit of the light on this watch being where it is is that it can actually be used as a torch (albeit a weak one) in a pinch to illuminate a map or whatever you need to see in the dark. Also, remember that this single LED style of illumination is not exclusive to this watch - the £100+ analogue/digital G-shock watches also use this method of illumination. That's just how it is.Seriously - go try this on in a shop and see for yourself. The LED on this watch is BRIGHT and you will have no problem reading the watch in the dark. It also just looks awesome. It's just a makes the watch look really, REALLY cool. So in conclusion - the light is fine, don't let it put you off.The watch is extremely comfortable (I'm wearing it right now!) and not too big - but it's a G-shock, so obviously it's pretty big. Casio have managed to get the perfect balance of weight. It's sturdy and weighty enough that it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy, yet it's absolutely NOT what you would describe as a 'heavy' watch - indeed it is very light weight.Really can't say enough good things about this watch. At £55 (this watch is £110 on the high street!!) this watch is an absolute steal. Comes in a beautiful G-shock tin to boot. Absolutely brilliant, feature-full and practical watch. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

It’s alright however it’s light is quite weak and setting it up is confusing.

As per the previous review, it's incredibly difficult to rate this watch any lower than 5 stars, providing that you buy it for the right reasons!I've owned the watch for a few weeks now and absolutely love it; the watch is sturdy, very, very well protected and looks the business. I bought this watch on a recommendation from my older brother because I wanted a watch that could withstand the elements when I go hiking and mountaineering, and also that I could wear when I go out on my mountain bike and to use in a pool abroad or the sea, etc. I own other watches that are fantastic and have claimed to be waterproof, but wanted something rugged and reliable and that wouldn't break or falter at the first bit of exposure to something more than a shower.The G-Shock brand has a fine reputation for this and does not disappoint. Couple the fact that it has some fantastic featues - I mean the stopwatch, alarm and timer are all handy tools when you're wanting a sports type watch, but the fact that you can set a second time (called World Time or WT) and at the press of two buttons simultaneously switch between the two is pretty cool. I recently took my watch with me to Ibiza and it was incredibly handy seeing at a glance what time it was back home. You can set up to 4 alarms at once which is handy if you need reminding of certain things, and also turn on or off a beeper to inform you when the hour passes.As someone else has said, the illumination light isn;t incredible, you can make out the time at close inspection but it isn't as good as it could be. But for me, that is literally it's only flaw.If you're looking for a rugged watch, one that will take a knock and shake it off with a laugh, I would suggest you invest!

Good

I was inspired to get a G-Shock watch from my dad, who owns an older version of a G-Shock (not sure what model) and at the time he bought his at roughly £200. I thought to myself that I was going to have to save my pennies up and then I went onto Amazon and saw this and many more like this and I thought that obviously either not got the gadgets like on my dad’s watch. No! I looked through the description on all of them and most of them were similar to my dad’s watch. I was looking on a similar G-Shock watch like this and found the colour option. Wow I know it’s amazing for someone who barely knows how to use amazon!!! But anyways I had a look on the blue one and this came up and I was like OMG THIS IS THE ONE I WANT!!!!!!!! I had a look in the description, saw that it had had what I wanted and had almost everything the same as my dad’s G-Shock and bought it. When I got a van pull up and a guy get out with a parcel a bit bigger than the avaerage hand, I was super excited and it was my G-Shock watch. I set it up and by the way, no matter how many settings there wer on this watch, the owners manual was super easy to follow and the watch actually did everything perfectly! I saw my dad and he liked it a lot and we started comparing things and apart from the fact that his watch is solar powered and used daylight to charge battery and all the technical stuff our watches were practically the same! And mine was about £150 cheaper so that was a slap in the face for dad 😂
