Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Features a black urethane resin protective “bumper” fitted over the main plastic case. The bumper is the first line of defense from damage from drops and shock because it completely surrounds the top and sides of the watch. It protrudes slightly above the crystal to give the glass protection from impact and it encloses all four buttons from damage and accidental pressing.
The Casio G-shock also showcases water resistance designs making it still functional even when used 660 feet or 200 meter under water.

What experts didn't like

This watch isn’t for someone looking for a minimalistic design that will go unnoticed; it sits prominently on any wrist and everyone’s eyes will gravitate towards it. Being 15mm thick, it’s difficult to fit comfortably under long sleeve shirts with buttoned cuffs. I found it nearly impossible to move my cuff over the watch to read the time, which defeats the purpose of wearing a watch.
Since the watch’s dominant color is black, this may not suit men who disliked the color.
