Very good watch for the money
Been daily driving this watch for about a month now, it is a very high quality watch. No concerns with this seller, the watch is authentic and 75 dollars is a steal. The watch looks brand new, not a single scratch, and I abuse watches. Was originally looking for a stylish, utility watch that HAD to be waterproof, I'm glad I chose it. It has two cities for each global time zone, includes a stopwatch, and a light button for night viewing. The side buttons are recessed, so it is difficult to press them accidentally. Matches many outfits, works with black very well. Have knocked it on many doorframes, metal shelves, even gone swimming with it and it still looks brand new. The timekeeping is extremely accurate, having lost less than a second in a month. The watch may appear big on some wrists, but it's no bigger than a standard rugged watch. Hopefully will be able to use this watch for years to come. TLDR: no nonsense stylish rugged watch with many features at a great price.

Love this watch.
I bought this watch when it was on sale for around a $100, but after having it for a while, would still pay the $70 more for it's current price point. That said, look around, you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.I'm not in the military, though I do actively participate in outdoor activities, so I was looking for a watch that could take the elements as well as look good.In regards to fashion:- This watch is a looker. The matte black finish with the white dials are perfect for casual or semi-formal attire.- It's a big watch, so if you have a small wrist or like watches that aren't heavy, this watch might not be for you.- I can't emphasize enough how nice this watch looks if paired with properly (black belt, black shoes, etc)In regards to functionality:- G-Shocks are known for being able to take a beating and I've put mine through a lot. At first, I treated this watch like a baby because at the time, it was the most I ever spent on a watch after rarely spending more than $20. After a while I realized that I could wear it to work (I worked in lumber at a home improvement store) and not worry about beating it up. I've banged it pretty hard a few times and only have a small gouge that is very hard to see.- The white dial hands help make spotting the time very easy.- The biggest problem I have is the light up feature. When really dark out, it doesn't fully light up the face of the watch. It gives enough to give an idea of where the hands are at, but you sort of have to look hard.Miscellaneous things:- I love the automatic analog hands that move when you set the time or switch time zones.- The feature of being able to have a second time in a timezone of your choice is fantastic. As someone who frequently shifts between time zones, having this function is really nice.- Did I mention this watch can be put through the ringer and still come out unscatched? Shock resistant, Waterproof to 200M (655 ft, a little more than 2 football fields), magnetic resistant, AND it has a battery life of about 2 years? Yea, I love it.Final analysis:I love this watch. It looks great and is as durable as the people it's pitched at. A friend of mine, whom actually is in the Army, got one like this on my recommendation and loves it. If you're on the fence about this, I'd say hop off and go for it.

An amazing watch for an amazing price.
If you need a watch that can perform well in outside conditions as well as look sharp in your Sundays best, then this watch is perfect for you.The watch has several pros to out way the few cons. Here is a list of each in which I will go into further detail below.Pros:1 - Relatively inexpensive.2 - Slick comfortable design.3 - Easy to read watch face.4 - Easy to use functions.5 - wrist band extends to almost any wrist size.Cons:1 - Daunting manual.2 - A bit mushy buttons3 - Weird luminescence feature.Now in nor depth:PROS:1 - For the features that this watch offers along with a wonderful warranty and a slick design its very hard to argue that you overpaid for this watch.2 - the black color of the watch is a very wonderful shade that doesn't detract from any attire. As well as the white clock hands and reflective light grey details on the watch face. Additionally the watch is overall very comfortable.3 - with the dual analog and digital watch face you can easily read what time it is (however as with all digital and analog watches if you rely on the digital the panels can sometimes get blocked by the watch hands)4 - the watch has a variety of functions from timer to alarms (4 alarms total) to stopwatch functions. Everything you would expect from a digital watch.5 - this one is pretty self explanatoryCONS:1 - This one threw me off guard. The watch does have a great deal of functions but because of that, the manual (which is pretty small but very thick) has to pack a great deal of info in a small space. With small text it may be daunting at first but then is easy to follow after learning the format.2 - the buttons sometimes feel a bit too mushy for me.3 - the luminescence function is just a small led at the bottom of the watch face. It is good when reading the watch hands but doesn't help at all to read the digital panels.In summary this watch has a great deal to offer (there is a lot I left out to save typing) for the cons that are there. I will leave a five star review because the cons rarely come into play in my situation. So if you are looking for a inexpensive, durable, and slick watch this one is a great choice for you.I hope my review is helpful to anyone looking into this watch. Best regards - David C

Need to Correct Legal Disclaimer
This is a great watch and I almost cancelled my order because the legal disclaimer on this item says that it is Navy Blue and is used which had me concerned but it arrived as advertised- new and in black. My daily wear is a G-Shock MOVE GPS GBD-H1000-1 but this GA-100-1A1 was my first G-Shock that I wore for 5 years previously and ordered another one because I loved it so much and for times when I can't have a smartwatch with GPS on it and something to fit into my rotation of watches.
