My first foray into G-Shock watches, I picked this model out because of the different dial configuration, with the interesting seconds and mode indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only real “special feature” here is the one-touch stopwatch: press the big central button and you automatically start the stopwatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a nice casual sporty weekend watch, easy-to-read analog display, with all the standard usefulness of any G-Shock. It goes with most anything, is big and chunky, and is comfortable to wear. The rounded case is a nice change from more aggressive G-Shock cases, making it slightly more subdued than other big-case models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only real drawback? It’s a little boring, or “not terribly exciting” – but sometimes flashy isn’t what you want, so I think that’s alright. It’s a great model to have in the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the stats…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
