G-Shock GW7900B-1 Solar Watch Review |
Although considerably bigger than other regular watches, even compared to other G-Shocks with curved windows, this watch is somewhat smaller and more lightweight at 50 millimeters in diameter, 16 millimeter thickness, and just 71 g.
Naturally, you won't observe any of these fancy detectors from expensive G-Shocks, mainly because of the lower price but also, because this view was designed for another category of users. It mainly fits the requirements of geeky and picky customers like sailors, industrial workers, as well as soldiers/Navy SEALS. In fact, this is one of the most valued watches among army men. Mainly because of its stealthy design, simplicity and reliability, this was a clear choice many of the ones fighting for our nation did.

G-Shock GW7900B-1 Solar Watch Review |
What Casio managed to do really well on this particular watch is the fit on the wrist and general feel. It's some rubber wings connected to the ring that may appear odd on the first look but actually are very helpful for the grasp of this watch. Due to these wings, the watch will not slip off the wrist even if water or oil is involved. On a boat or a ship, gas spill can be very frequent, but luckily, this watch won't be an issue on this matter.
The negative display is quite decent and is backed by an LED backlight for illumination which has the panels fragmented in 3 distinct windows each having a specific functionality. On the sides, Casio decided to use the ordinary four buttons for reset, countdown timer start/stop, mode and fix which are simple to operate and anyone who possessed a G-Shock in the past knows quite well. In addition to that, it is also solar powered so that you won't bother changing batteries.
