Casio Men's GW7900B-1 G-Shock Solar Atomic Black Digital Sport Watch Review

Top 10 Gadgets of 2009 (Rated #8) according to Time magazine.This is my first G-Shock and first watch with an inverted display.I wanted a sturdy watch that I wouldn't feel would break if I banged into something.I have several Citizen, Tissot watches that I just felt were to prone to being scratched/destroyed.

I'm very happy with the design/look of this watch.The pictures (as of today) on Amazon are distorted and don't do justice to the look of the watch.While this watch is a very large watch compared to some of the other G's, it feels nice and comfortable on my wrist.

I wanted a watch for functions as well as reliability.With the watch being solar powered, along with an atomic feature makes this watch a must have.The watch has alarm's, timer, dedicated button (the G button) to the light which is very nice (can work in any mode), 2nd time zone, world time, etc.

I've gone through a lot of watches in my time but this by far is one of my favorites and is a must have in your collection if you're looking for a reliable, sturdy, function filled watch!

1/5/10 Follow-up:

Since I'm an avid Scuba Diver, I wanted to know if this particular watch can be operated underwater (switching through operations on the watch).

This is the response I got from Casio-

"Dear Mr. Travale,

The GW7900B-1 has a water resistance of up to 200M.These models do permit underwater button operation.


We hope that we were able to assist you with your question and again, thank you for contacting CASIO AMERICA."
