Still, the highlight of these models isn’t the long list of features. Instead, it’s the fact that they have a Seconds hand , and their build is more compact. You can get the GA-800-1A around $100, which is still rather modest. The DW series is filled with the cheapest watches that you can buy from this collection. Better yet, let’s call it the introductory series to other more advanced timepieces that Casio offers. If you come across an original of this watch, you will find a long lasting, durable item that sustain abuse.
This is also easier to read in the dark as the light isn’t like a timex indiglo, but a projected led. It lights up the whole face enough to tell the time and even read the date in the digital portion. This is my second G-Shock and I am sure if I can find others as cool looking as this one, I will expand the collection. G-Shock, a brand launched by Casio in the eighties and currently still one of the most popular watch brands which exists, both for women and for men. And then we have not even talked about the extremely cool designs!
First is to mention that the design used on the Frogman is unlike that on other G-Shocks, so you can spot one easily. The design, however, has additional qualities besides just looks. As resistant a mineral or sapphire crystal window may be, it would eventually break when exposed to big shocks, or, at least, scratch. This is where the hardened plastic edges on the Frogman come into play, because whenever you drop it or hit it, the edges will absorb the shocks, leaving the window intact. Needless to say, the watch’s shock resistance is a key point here, but it’s also resistant to a 20ATM water pressure, which is typical on G-Shocks, so you could take it on occasional scuba dives without fear that it will damage.
This is essentially the base model, the modern version of the original G-Shock. One test of a great watch design is how well it works in different colorways. Go Rasta, denim or crystal, and you’ll have the 1980s on your wrist. Or, if you’re more into the 1990s, there’s a rave-inspired model with teal and purple, that decade’s favorite colorway.
Good thing is that it is easy to follow the manual’s instructions and if you do that once you won’t have to perform any adjustment often. Also, once you have it paired with its app you can perfrom almost everything easily through it. In any case the classic casio modes (i.e. chrono, timer and alarm) are as easy to use as in any other casio.
G-Shock likes to give its most premium models all-analog displays, and prices will reflect that. Casio tells us that they’re going for hip-hop fashion statements with these watches, but what really sets them apart is the rotary control dial in the crown position. This unique feature allows for intuitive control over whatever function is selected. With all the G-Shock toughness but also a full touchscreen display, this is the brand’s first smartwatch line to feature Google’s Wear OS and the massive range of functionality it offers.
G-Shock watches pride itself on being a super sturdy sports watch. It’s the premier watch in resistance to shocks, whether it is strong vibrations or hard knocks. That’s why they are called Gravitational Shock in its full form.

I’m even a light sleeper & it’s almost inaudible when I’m awake. Now I’m forced into using an alarm clock which doesn’t make me happy after having spent more on this watch than any other watch I’ve ever owned. I have small wrists & have never liked resin bands but hoped that Casio was putting a more comfortable band on a pricier watch. Well, I tried it for several days & if you have a small wrist it’s no better fitting or more comfortable than the cheap plastic band on a no name watch. I won’t go into the specifics other than to say if you’ve used resin bands in the past & been less than pleased with them you won’t be any more pleased with this one. But if you’re satisfied with them, you’ll be happy with this one too.
The story has stuck around for so long because it illustrates both the freewheeling creativity of the Raging Bull era of watch design and the casual brilliance of the designer himself. The story of the Casio G-Shock is a very different story, but it tells you just as much about how this watch became the absolute legend it is today. With a more stripped-down dial and a mid-sized case, this model is aiming for a little less on purpose. It won’t dominate your outfit, but will bring the high-tech vibe of a G-Shock nonetheless.
A novel thing you can find on this watch is the shock absorbing back, that helps to ensure that the vibrations are felt by the owner. This feature doesn’t have a large impact on the endurance of the watch but gives the wearer a unique feel when worn. The Rangeman is a truly quality timepiece appreciated everywhere in the world for the rugged style and the functions it offers for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s a good choice as well for your Best Triple-Sensor G-shock as well, and also as your Best Compass g-shock, depending on what is the most important feature for you. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, the GW CR „Master of G” is the watch for you. In order to give you the features that will surely help you on your next trip, this „Master of G”, or Rangeman, has a Triple Sensor that includes an Altimeter, Barometer, a Thermometer and a Compass.
