I had never been a big fan of digital watches nor of Casio because I thought that they were cheap disposable watches and I always opted for rugged automatic divers watches that could take a lot of punishment. Then recently, my youngest soon decided he was going into the military after High school so I bought him a "cheap, disposable" and supposedly rugged G-Shock and was impressed with the quality of it. The Tough Solar option means that he will probably not have to change out the battery for a long time and the Atomic Multiband 6 means that, as long as it can receive a signal it will tell the correct time. Along with all of the other features it should stand up nicely for a long time. As far as being stylish, there are a lot of options for customizing the watch for ones personal tastes. Being able to swap out the bezel for a different color, adding bull bars and swapping out the strap for something different are options. Swapping the strap isn't easy because of Casio's choice to go with a 16mm lug width to fit their proprietary watch bands means you will have to buy a set of adapters, check out jaysandkays for those. All in all I am pleased with the purchase of this watchRead full review

The watch looks sharp and durable. It has many extra features & capabilities (Temp/Barometer/Altimeter, etc.). This is the second Casio watch I ordered for my son who is serving in the military. The first one was a Casio Pro Tek, and I returned it because when the light button was pressed, it was such uneven light-much lighter on one side than the other. I was very, very disappointed to find the same to be true with this watch, as it is a more expensive G-Shock model. Unfortunately, this is a company/multiple product flaw in my opinion. For a $300 (regular retail price) watch, the light should be an even, pleasant glow. Many $10 watches have much better "light up" appearances than these upper end Casios. In addition, the negative contrast (black background and light numbers on the display, is quite small and somewhat difficult to read compared to other products with this feature. With that said, it still does look rather impressive overall.Read full review

Love the watch, but it has a few quirks that one needs to get used to. If you turn DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME to AUTO; it does not automatically adjust for it. For now I adjust it manually. Once autumn rolls around I will see if AUTO works the night we fall back an hour. Really not a big deal, but I believe it should automatically update once you select a time zone. One other quirk, that I have, is the brightness of the negative display. In certain daytime light, it is impossible to see anything outside of your reflection. The characters on the watch could really stand to be brighter. Neither of these are deal breakers for me though.
This is my third G-Shock watch purchase in as many months and this one might be my favourite so far. It’s ultra durable as you’d expect but also packed full of cool tech such as Tough Solar power, Multiband 6 Atomic timekeeping, and possibly most impressive for this particular model, Casio’s Triple Sensor. The only negative I can see (for some at least) is the negative display which can be hard to read in certain conditions but personally I love the look of it. A near perfect watch, I could t be happier with it.

Super tough watch with tons of features. JaysAndKays offers NATO straps and adaptors as well as BullBars for this watch. I like the military style of the watch but the display can be hard to read.
