They’re exactly the same as the “real” G-Shock in features and durability, but smaller in size. We’ve also tested other brands who claim to make tough watches , and they just didn’t measure up to G-Shock in durability, features, and affordability. Combining the toughness of a G-Shock with a full-steel construction is an impressive feat of engineering.
A typical representative of the round cases G-Shock and the record holder for the number of all kinds of colors and stylistic options, for which it is popular with modern youth. The case belongs to the category of “large” – 55 mm in height and 51 mm in width. Impact resistance consists of characteristic “influxes” on the front part that protect the glass from direct impacts and a step strap with pin mounting. Large buttons are conveniently pressed thanks to the ribbed surface and are protected from accidental pressing. In addition to resistance to mechanical damage, the watch has protection against magnetic fields. Ana-DJ dial is an ideal combination of information content and ease of reading data.
They are not as cheap as 6900 and not as monsters like Master of G series. There is no sensors at all, just regular functions lilke timer and snoozes. If you need stupid termo or alti – be ready to pay twice as 8900 in order to use these functions once a watch lifetime. This mode is activated by pressing and holding G-button for 3 sec , but unlike the same mode in 9300 it automatically turns off (!!) after 6 hours of non-use the illumination! These models were released in 1996, designed and specifically made for the surfing market. These models were the very first G-Shock watches to have a countdown timer.
Perfect if you’re looking for a cheap analog watch that’s indestructible, waterproof, and reliable in all conditions. GG-1000 is one of the better-looking G-Shocks out there with its rugged mud-resistant build and the 56.2mm diameter case. If you are in the market for a well-built g shock watch and stylish timepiece, I wouldn’t let the minor drawbacks dissuade you from purchasing the GG-1000. At 48.5mm in diameter, the watch is not as big as the more modern G-Shocks. Its size is roughly medium when compared to other G-Shocks, and will fit even on smaller wrists.
But the lack of solar is compensated by the lower price of the watch. G-Shock GA-100 is a popular oversized model with modern industrial looks, similar to its brothers GA100 and GA700. The looks are the main selling point here – you’ve got many colors and g shock watch styles to choose from, with black & orange and black & gold being the most popular. At the end of the day, it’s an excellent self-adjusting watch. Good choice if you’re looking for an affordable digital G-Shock with Tough Solar & Atomic time features.
The gray GD350-8 looks like army equipment, and its special features are designed for stealth operations. Unlike most other watches, the countdown timer can be displayed and activated with the current time showing simultaneously. The countdown timer has a dedicated button that is large and easily accessible in any conditions. For end of countdown alerts, the watch can either be set to vibrate or to beep and flash an LED light.
