Review on G Shock Mens GA700CM 3A Green Camo by Christina Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great watch! Very light, comfortable and the light works great! (knock on wood)

I used to buy a cheap "work clock" for less than $30, but was disappointed when it got wet or stopped working altogether. Instead, I used my prettier watch, which got scratched and all, or took it off when I wanted to get dirty. 200 METERS), so it can be used exposed to rain, in the pool, by the river or on the beach without a doubt. I also wanted something that would withstand "shock" as the name suggests. and camouflage? my favorite! The clock was fairly accurate to the correct time, but set to a different time zone. After trying to change it myself, even after trying to read the instructions in the manual that came with it, I had to find YouTube videos, of which there are many, to complete the task. Much to my surprise, the "analog" hands are on electric gears that "adjust" after you set the digital time. wow, that was cool! I should also be proud to say that it came in its original tin box in its original cardboard box with instructions and an official card. I even came across a YouTube video comparing "real" and "fake" G-Shock watches. The watch I received matched all the parameters of the 'real' one, including map and sheet metal details. I was afraid they would look too big on my wrist but they suit me. I bet when I was a teenager it would have looked huge. I hope I don't run into the reasons for the complaints that some others have listed, but so far so good (knock on wood). Visibility: There are many concerns about the light and/or visibility (or lack of d) of digital displays in the dark. Well, unfortunately, I was hoping that the analog hands would glow in the dark like my other Casio watches, but they don't. So far this is my only complaint (knock on wood). However, my other Casio watches don't have a built-in backlight. So as their glow fades, so does their visibility. This watch has a nice white light, not yellowish like I thought. Also enough to pay attention to the analog hands. I agree with other people that light doesn't illuminate digital displays. I think this will be my second complaint because you can't read the date in the dark. Digital displays should probably have a backlight turned on by a button, in addition to a "headlight" shining on the analog hands. If you can live with that, then do it. I love it so far. I slept in it last night and barely realized it was on. Can't wait to swim or fish or have fun!
