Casio Men's GA-100 XL Series G-Shock Quartz 200M WR Shock Resistant Watch

If you like Camo watches you’ll love this. After trying & failing to get this watch because of fakes sold on eBay I finally got it & the real thing is a beauty. It’s a good size & feels comfortable to wear. Easy to read the time too. The negative display may not be to some people’s taste but I can read it so I like it.

Difficult to see the dial clearly and light is poor but I am colour blind so maybe just me

Very good indeed

Comfortable and light (but not so light that it feels like a fake). Looks good on my wrist and goes well with a lot of my clothing.

I am a hunter and a grad student, so I needed something durable, concealable, and something that I could "class" up. This watch is all of that! It looks large in the people photos on here, but it fits the wrist just right. There were no instructions on how to set it, so I'll post what I used: 1) In time keeping mode (the one where the digital shows the day), press and hold the "Adjust Button" until you hear a beep. 2) Your "Home City" on the digital section where the day was will now be flashing. Set it to your Time Zone (NYC, MEX, MIA, LAX, TYO, etc...) using the "Reverse" and "Forward" buttons [on the right of the watch]. 3a) When you have chosen your city, you can press "Adjust" to set it, and the time hands will automatically adjust, or.... 3b) If you wish to adjust it for Daylight Savings Time (DST), press Mode instead of Adjust for step 3, and use the "Forward" or "Reverse" button to choose Yes or No. *NOTE: I wasn't sure whether to use DST or not, so I pressed "Adjust" and waited for the hands to adjust to the time. When they adjusted I compared the time to my computer clock, and it was an hour off. I then held the Adjust Button again until the "beep", then immediately pressed "Mode" to adjust the "DST" to "on". Hit "Adjust" to save it, and the clock readjusted to the correct time. These steps (provided by YouTube: The Watch Hut") will adjust your time AND day. All other functions can be accessed using the "Mode", such as the Stop Watch function. Hope this helped!

This is a great new addition for the Casio G Shock GA100 series. I am a fan of positive displays--not usually negative ones. Up until now, one of the most popular GA100s had a positive display--but the hour hand was red--which was difficult to see at times. This new execution has a positive LCD display and both watch hands are painted white--making this watch much easier to read at all times--although it would be nice if Casio would put a bit more lume on the hour/minute hands. The other functions have not changed. The band is a dark grey and the watch face has grey "camo" on it--but it is rather dark and not that noticeable--fine with me. The light does an adequate job but the LCD displays--at night in a dark room--are not the easiest to read--but a little better than in the past. The LCD displays are pretty easy to read at other times except when the hands are in their area--not an uncommon problem with these kind of watches. The watch is not solar powered nor has it atomic sync--might be nice if it did because I do like those features but I can live without them. I don't use the time signal and the watch does not have the standard "beeps" to turn off--hopefully the battery will last quite a while. Overall, a really nice new addition to the G Shock line.

Love this watch it. Second one I have owned. Rugged, stands up to abuse and just keeps working. Highly recommended.

Teşekkür ederim çok güzel

To start off, I ordered this on a saturday evening, and received it via UPS on Tuesday around 7:00PM, and that was one-day shipping. Anyways, the watch has some really cool functions, and looks amazing. I've owned $20 watches at Walmart/Meijer stores, Rolex, Omega, and I've recently been using an iPod Nano 6 with a white Nanotch(tm) watchband. The G-Shock has a white matte finish, and if you're a student, or someone working at a cubicle and writes a lot, then it is a possibility that you could smear graphite (from the pencil or ink from pen) onto the watch, but you could wash it off with soap and water. This watch is based off timezones to calculate the time, and it comes with a manual (timezones are at the last pages). The manual is in English, Spanish, and French I think b: The hands move around based on what the digital display reads; you can turn on and off daylight saving time too. (Watch arrives in EST, NYC.) We all know that the watch is waterproof, shock-proof, anti-magnetic, so I don't really need to say anything an those topics. You can change the backlight duration from 1.5sec - 3 sec, and it is pretty cool. There's military time (24HR digital display) and the normal time (12HR) with a little PM that is in the top left corner of the left display, when it's the afternoon. It has a really accurate stopwatch, with laps and a split. (Great for running and you don't have to be worried when it rains, unless you have your phone) There's a timer, which for some reason, only goes up to 24 minutes... you can adjust the duration. (You can set it to one time run/alarm, or a constant loop until you turn it off). There are 26 world times; I have mine to London, and it works GREAT. (Takes like 2 seconds to calculate but I'm fine with that) It has 4 alarms; you press reverse or forward to stop them, a snooze (Like a wake-up alarm) and you press either reverse or forward to snooze it. Will come back on in like 3 mins, but you have to turn it off and on again to stop it.) There's an option to turn on hourly chime which beeps twice at every hour. You press reverse to turn on the backlight, and hold it down for 3 seconds to enable the auto-light when you tilt the watch 45°. The left circle on the upper half of the watch displays whether snooze, alarm, auto-light, or hourly chime is on. The middle has something to do with the stopwatch, you can see some accuracy in the timing (I guess xD) and the right circle... This I'm clueless on, but I think it also has to do with the stopwatch and stuff :). The hour nobs are "glow-in-the-dark", and, unfortunately, the hands don't have an illuminating tab on them. The lower left display shows the time in digital form, press forward and it shows the date. The bottom right screen shows the day (eg: Mon as in Monday) and below it is the seconds. (Btw the hands are SUPER precise when they point at the little lines like for example, it is 1:00 or 13:00. The hands point exactly where they should be, and when the seconds reach around 30 seconds, the minute hand moves a tiny notch! Then, when it's 1:01 or 13:01, it points normally.) The contrast on this watch is really nice; I've gotten tons of compliments... some of my friends are even jealous! This is my first G-Shock and I'm not disappointed! I LOVE the double-clasp band, doesn't seem like it will come loose, the buttons have a nice texture, and I learned how to operate this watch in about 5 minutes (I was CLUELESS when I first got it, lol) The manual helps, and I HOPE my review helped you too! Relatively fast shipping, great watch, beast looks, best $100 I spent! This watch is part of the Japan Movement, and is housed/cased in China (I don't care where it was manufactured :D) and I'm simply just impressed... the dial is pretty big, and it it looks beautiful. If you have any questions please ask! I will hopefully respond quickly :) UPDATE NOVEMBER 2013: After using this watch for more than a year (Sept 29, 2012) I can say it's still working fine! Battery life is (supposedly) 2 years... I don't have any battery problems with mine! However, the paint is starting a chip slightly. I've gone snorkeling/scuba diving, dropped it many times off high places, FROZE MY WATCH, and many more rigorous tests... this thing is a tank! Some dirt and grime is starting to build up around the strap; it has a slight brown tint from my use. I don't use auto-light at all really, and the snooze is somewhat quiet... so don't use this as a primary alarm clock! I love the stopwatch. It's so freaking usefull and goes to the thousandths of a second! (ex: 12.345 seconds) Hopefully I will post a picture on this page to show what it looks like after all this time!
