Review on ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ Casio Men's GA1000 Gravity Master G-Shock Aviation Watch: Unparalleled Precision and Durability by Malacia Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best watch I have ever owned at this price

This is my first G-Shock watch and after almost a month I would say it's my favorite watch ever. . This brings me back to my high school days when I carried the same plain $25 Casio for 4 years. Daily. The GA-1000 looks like an older version of a watch I had years ago (it's still ticking in my desk drawer, by the way) and I'm more than happy with the purchase. After carefully reading the manual, it turned out that tweaking the watch's features to my personal preferences was pretty easy. I played with the modes for about 30 minutes before setting the correct world time and making sure the compass is calibrated. While I may need to refer to the manual in the future to perform more advanced functions (like recalibrating the hands if they're lost), for the most part this watch is easy to learn and use. Appearance - Wise, this piece is a win in every way. Some people complain that the digital windows aren't bright enough, but I personally like how thin they are in contrast to the crisp white arrows. This watch does a great job of turning a basic analogue function into a very practical option without sacrificing style. The case itself is of course quite bulky, which is to be expected from any 20 bar watch. If anything, the weight and size makes it more convenient as I'm much less worried about the watch falling or hitting something. I would say "reliable" is a great word to describe the feel. You create a presence and then manage it. Another thing I really like about this watch is that it's not distracting unless you're at a party with 20-year-old tourists. Most people don't care about black "tactical" watches, but in this case, that's exactly what I need. It's not a fad, it's just a well-functioning bulletproof watch that you can really rely on. They don't sacrifice features in the name of style, but style is still present as a quiet undertone. Anyone who takes the time to look at this watch will fall in love with it because it looks really good. I like the spin mode dial in the top left corner, as well as the day of the week window on the right. I also appreciate that the compass feature has its own button, rather than forcing you to scroll through various read-only directional modes. Overall, this is by far the best watch I own for under $200. Does what it's supposed to and looks damn good doing it. Beautiful and unique design and the light up function is amazing. The pictures do not convey this. So just buy like me? Spirit.
