Review on Casio Men's G-Shock Quartz Resin Sport Watch: The Perfect Timepiece for Active Lifestyles by Darius Carraway

This watch will last a long time

This watch seems to last a long time. I really like mineral glass because it's much stronger than acrylic and looks better, especially because it doesn't scratch as easily. My last watch (Timex Ironman Triathlon) had acrylic glass and had all sorts of scratches after only two months. I work in a warehouse and need something that will stand up to everyday handling. I think it's the same. Update 2.5 months: not a single scratch on the glass. 5 months old: still no scratches and apart from a few scuffs on the strap it still looks like new. My hands don't even look that good. 1 year: That's impressive! I haven't seen any scratches on the glass yet and the strap is still in excellent condition. Much more than I can say about my Ironman Triathlon watch. Shortly after my year-long update, this watch was rebooted. This was done three times; twice in 2 days. Not sure what caused this, but it was a bit annoying to reset the date and time. 2 years: The clock has not been reset since I wrote the last update. And there are still no scratches on the glass. The band held up well too. 3.5 years: Small scratches on the glass, but they are so faint that they have to be looked for. One of the two screw covers on the belt came loose, but this only affected the optics. The group is still strong. The clock never restarted again. I almost wish the bracelet would break so I would have had an excuse to buy a new G-Shock watch. 4.5 years: The battery died last week but I was able to replace it and the batteries myself. attractively priced. There are some very small scratches on the crystal now, but unless you look for them you won't see them. The band still holds tight, and the rest of the watch is nothing more than casual wear, with the exception of the band covers, which have been removed and made redundant. I'm still not sure about the purpose of these cases, cosmetics aside. I can't really tell if the clock is running slow or fast because I usually put my clock forward about 4-5 minutes. This will be my last update. I've wanted an analog watch for a long time, so I've decided to give up this one. Having had a lot of experience with the G-Shock I decided it was time for an upgrade and would replace it with the G-Shock GSTB400.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
