Review on Casio G Shock GD400 9CS Black Resin by Jamie Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great G-Shock watch at a great price

I'm wearing the 4th G-Shock watch in 7 years. I lost the first one and the other 2 still work to this day. That is new. I'm not a watch collector, but I wear them almost every day and actually only own a G-Shock. The only thing that makes me buy a new one is the only flaw I see with G-Shocks; a small plastic strip that holds the strap in place. After a few years, they become brittle and break. A simple fix (you can get spares through G-Shock and replace the strap yourself or even take it to a watch shop), but instead I decide it's time to treat myself to a new watch. This has to be the most beautiful watch ever. I have already purchased and have no doubt it will last as long as others if not longer. The metal wiring around it only makes it stronger. I work in the construction industry and am also very active in outdoor activities (fishing, mountain biking, camping etc etc) and almost never take my watch off for any of the above. No, they don't come in the classic G-Shock tin, but it's a damn box that's useless once I put the watch on, so I'm over that. This watch was released in 2014, so its price has come down. up to $77 for the grey-green variant. A word of warning for those who decide to buy this watch is that G-Shocks usually come with the battery already included, so the battery might not last as long as expected since it's an older model. Another simple solution when the battery is dead. All in all a great purchase and I look forward to this watch lasting a few years until it's time to order new ones again. Enjoy!
