Casio G-Shock G100-1BV Review Best for Your Life

Although using a somewhat milder appearance compared to similar priced DW5600, it may still fit all significant clothing types, except fancy suits or Tuxedos.

It includes a simplistic design with a resin strap that has a 1 pin securing system and multiple tightening levels, a case also made from resin which features eye-catching red insertions on the top/bottom and indicators to each match. Somewhat uncommon about the design of this watch is the case flows in addition to the strap without identifying whatsoever, making it look like made from 1 piece.

While it has a very intuitive setup, the switches are not of such excellent quality; you are going to need to press very hard in order to place anything and this inevitably causes a few inconveniences. Fortunately this is a one-time configuration view, which means you may set it once then never touch the buttons before swapping battery. Incidentally, the battery life is of approximately 3 decades and you'll be able to change it all on your own. There are plenty of movies online showing the way to do this in a couple of minutes.

Features List:

  1. Shock and water resistance up to 660 ft. / 200 m
  2. Magnetic resistance
  3. Automatic Calendar
  4. 1/100 Second Stopwatch
  5. 12/24 hour format
  6. Approximately 3 years of battery life
  7. Daily alarms
  8. EL Backlight
  9. Dimensions of 49.6 x 47.8 x 15.7mm and a weight of 59g

The display as said before is the analog-digital one that includes only two hands for minutes and hours and a little screen on the base which shows the worth of the stopwatch, alarm, date, day of the week along with the double time feature that lets you set one more time zone to be displayed on this small screen beside the regular one showed by the analog hands. I will not go in the button combinations for every function in particular because these may be located in the user's guide along with visual instructions.

Casio G-Shock G100-1BV Review 1


It is correct, for this price you won't get a perfect watch. There are a number of flaws that are to some extent quite bothersome such as the backlight which merely illuminates the tiny underside display or the configuration buttons which take an inexplicably amount of force to be pushed.

The alarm is very loud and it's going to be enough for many situations even demanding in noisy environments you cannot count on it. Another feature that makes the G-Shock G100 glow is the magnetic immunity. Casio praises that contrary to another cheap G-Shocks that quickly captured broken any time you'd expose them, the G100 will not. Now this is accurate but only to little power magnets. Once you introduce it to high power ones the watch will get broken just as with any other watch.

In the end, this can be an affordable watch that attempts to incorporate the attributes of this G-Shock line by creating a few shortcuts.

Casio G-shock Solid Colors DW-5600BB-1JF Japan Watch Review

Most G-Shock fans understand the DW 5600 really well. The version we are talking about in this review is the DW 5600BB that's different just by its coloring/design from the original version. As you might already know, Japanese versions of G-Shocks are always sort of bizarre, coming with all sorts of different colorings and variants regarding the design. People who need a drop of weirdness and unicity in their own watches always search for them and treat them as collection timepieces. Not to mention that these variations are kind of rare hence retaining value over the years quite well. The all-black layout isn't a joke; even the clasp that's made from metal has been painted to match the rest of the watch. The only thing colored differently is that the backlight that is light blue. Here is the sort of watch it is possible to set once and then never do it but nevertheless an extremely bugging thing about the watch is represented with the rigid buttons for configuratio...
