Casio G-100 G-Shock Men Watch

I really need to get a hold on this G-Shock obsession! This was bought as an alongside to my Casio S820-W (which Google gives this G-100 as the G-Shock alternative) and its not a disappointment. The size works well on my 7.5" wrist and will do the job nicely. The actual face I would compare to something like a 36mm watch but as the resin construction beefs this up I don't feel like I'm wearing something as 'cute' as the F-91W! Sure the negative display is pretty pants but as I only use it for the day/date that's not really a bother. Like the green electro-luminescent backlight on the digi-display but the hands and numeral lume is to be expected, not great but hey it's a G-Shock and anyone with any idea of these understands the shortcomings of a sub £100 watch. Saying that it's a great beater, easy to wear all day and the usual buckle strap can be let out easy enough to release an over heated wrist!! and I'm sure it will love getting to know it's friends in the overcrowded watch box!! The worst thing about the purchase was the seller who promised next day delivery then entrusted it to Evri who didn't bother with that as they do as they please.... Still it came in a G-Shock tin rather than the usual box most of the ones I buy arrive in. Granted the tin was for a slightly different model but this isn't going to keep me up at night.

Just what I wanted lovely watch well made not too big and chunky just the right fit comfortable and easy to set up did not have to read the manual took 2 minutes to work out this is the first hybrid watch I have owned I have about 10 automatic watches costing 3 to 4 hundred each and the problem I have is the lum is not great in the dark and they have no light so from now one I will only be buying g shock watches also it’s 200 m waterproof I don’t think I will ever buy an automatic watch again stick with Casio 😀

What can I say - the watch is nine years old, and still going strong. Unbelievably, it's still on the original battery it was supplied with! I don't use it very often these days but generally take it to events that are likely to not be friendly for your more pricey/fragile watches. For an everyday 'beater' watch, it's money well spent. Your average junky quartz watch will most likely have a poor movement inside (Sekonda etc) but I suspect that the movement in this watch is relatively good quality even at this level. I daresay their high end models have very high quality components but I have no quibbles with what I've seen in this model after nine years. Casio's production facility is like a space age lab and I suspect everything is made in house including the aforementioned movements so I have alot of faith in them as a brand. However, to be totally honest their not really to my tastes anymore but I don't think you can go with wrong one as a 'take it anywhere and do anything' watch. My only quibble is with the time setting function in that you have to hold a button down to advance the hands very slowly in only a clockwise direction so summertime adjustment is a tad painful but oh well..hardly a huge problem. On a side note - I 'stealthed' mine by removing all the printed text off the case and it looks great - like a bare bones military type watch. I'm not a big fan of the 'features' that Casio love plastering about on their models cases/panels!

Great watch. Slightly smaller than a usual g shock but good smaller mans size.

I dont generally buy watches for their good looks or follow fashion as a whole, but this watch has both the good looks and is a follower of fashion. Its simple to use, easy to set up, yes i have to agree with many of the reviews i have read before i purchased, that the back light isnt on for long and that it is almost impossible to see the analogue time when in the dark (but thats why theres a back light on the digital clock). The strap is comfy, wide and feels good on my wrist. Apart from not wanting to take it off since it arrived, its a great watch, you just cant get any better. If i could put 10 stars then thats just what i would give.

I was very skeptical on what this watch would be like... When I received it in the post and opened it, my face lit up... It's so nice to look at, and is very durable... It's nice and chunky as well which I love... I hate small watches! Time keeping on this watch is also excellent... If you love analogue and digital together, then this is the watch for you.... The watch is perfectly packaged too, and the service/delivery is excellent... Will definitely be purchasing more G-Shocks from Amazon... Going to get a collection :) BUY THIS BAD BOY!

Its an out and out everyday watch. A great watch for the active working indivuidual. The multi purpose digital time is incrediable. Easy to change time. Clear precise instructions for set-up. Presented in a Metal tin which suits the 'title' of the watch. A comfortable fit and durable resin strap. The light also illuminates the digital display which is ideal for night usage. A Great Price for a Great watch.

I have had many G Shocks from when I was at college in 1991. I bought a DW 6800 and I got abused for years and then the bezel spilt and I could not get a replacement. Still got it in naked form although it looks stupid. Then a DW 6900, the plastic housing split on that near the strap so that was rendered useless. Then a DW7900 which I only wore at weekends and have a GD100 as a beater which I recommend for just that at £49. Anyway this watch is great for what it is. Yes the reverse lcd is small to read and the watch hands get in the way. The backlight is wimpy and you have to set both the analogue hands and digital time separately. This don’t bother me as I only use the lower display for month, date and day. My phone is my alarm and I don’t need a different time zone or stop watch. All I wanted was a g shock with analogue hands that I can wear at the weekends with whatever I chose to wear. Get it wet no problem and the battery will last because it will only get used twice a year when the clocks go forward and back. You have to hold the top left button down for analogue adjustment and the time at the bottom on mine in the digital part is wrong, but as I said, it isn’t very legible and isn’t a problem. There are lots of g shocks available. I recommend this for analogue hands and the GD100 which is cheaper, but man it takes a beating. The straps on the GD100 crack where the retaining buckle sits over time, but the battery lasts forever. Not sure how long the battery will last on this, but as it will be used little, probably double the manufacturer period of three years. All in all you can’t go wrong with a G Shock. Just make a list of what you want it to do and always read the reviews

Reloj bonito y resistente. La aguja del minutero tiene una cola un poco larga y al principio provoca que se confunda con la aguja de las horas. El tamaño es comedido por lo que es apto para casi todos los tamaños de muñeca.

Excelente Producto, es la segunda vez que lo compro.

Relógio top. Caixa menor do que os demais Gshock.

I love my own Casio G-Shock watches, so when I was looking for a gift for my nephew's birthday, I looked at a lot of the different G-Shock watches here on Amazon.com for him. My nephew is in the Boy Scouts, and when I found this watch and read in the description that it has a compass, it made me decide to go ahead and order it, because I know he would love that feature, as well as the rugged good looks and durability of the watch. The description is/was as follows: "Round-face watch in resin with accurate digital compass around bezel, textured band with gunmetal-tone rivets, and logo emblem at twelve o'clock Mineral crystal dial window Features buckle closure, 100-hour chronograph, and compass with bearings based on 16 cardinal points measured in degrees Water resistant to 660 feet (200 M): suitable for recreational scuba diving" This is clearly a misrepresentation of what people will get when they purchase this watch. I would return this watch to Amazon and purchase one elsewhere, but his birthday is going to be celebrated this weekend, and time is running out. This is clearly an issue with Amazon's product description. With that said, the watch itself is representative of the high quality that I have come to expect from the Casio G-Shock line of timepieces. I am sure that it will make a fine gift for him and prove to be as rugged as my 12 year + Original G-Shock solar atomic watch that I wore at work and beat up pretty good, but it still functions perfectly. I had to rate the watch 5 stars based on the functions and durability it was designed for, and think it would be inappropriate to rate the product itself poorly because of an error in product description by Amazon. The watch is not what I was led to believe it was when I ordered it. Come on Amazon! Please address this inaccurate description and update it to provide factual details regarding its functionality. It is a fine watch, worth the price, but setting up expectations of certain features and then delivering a product that does not match the description is a disappointment and affects the trust of Amazon by its consumers. **Edit** 04/29/2015 To clarify, this watch DOES NOT have compass functionality, nor is it solar powered. It is a rugged G-Shock with analog and digital display with the usual stopwatch, dual time, alarm, etc., and the LCD display is "negative" - black background with silvery digits, which adds to its appeal in my case. Very nice watch, good price for what you get. The MSRP is $100.00, but I purchased it from Amazon for around $58.00.

J'ai totalement craqué pour cette montre magnifique ! Je voulais une G-SHOCK car je pratique un peu la plongée, et je vais souvent à la piscine. La G-100-1BVMUR propose un affichage analogique et digitale de toute beauté (j'adore la forme des aiguilles), une résistance à la pression jusqu'à 200 mètres, l'anti-magnétisme, et propose un look très "vintage" militaire du plus bel effet ! Ni trop petite sans être non plus trop imposante, elle est le parfait compromis entre efficacité et élégance. De plus les réglages sont intuitifs, je n'ai même pas eu besoin de la notice.. Je reproche à certains modèles G-SHOCK d'afficher trop de paramètres, et du coup de manquer de lisibilité, ce qui n'est pas du tout le cas avec la G-100-1BVMUR. Dans l'obscurité les aiguilles et le cadran sont fluorescents et il n'est pas indispensable d'utiliser le rétro éclairage (couleur verte). Merci à Casio pour ce superbe modèle, j'en suis très satisfait.
