When you are shopping for that special male in your life, it can be tough to find them the perfect gift. That is why I was so happy to find this watch. You are going to love it, and it will make that special person on your list very happy.

The G-Shock series of watches has always been a very popular choice for people looking for a robust timepiece that’s still impressively affordable. As with many G-Shock watches, you can expect 200m water resistance and a durable finish.

The G-Shock watches were built to withstand mechanical shock and vibration. This makes them an ideal sports or military style watch, perfect for those who love their outdoor activities.

The watch is rather simple and reliable, there’s a luminescent backlight for easy reading at night, plus a useful stopwatch and alarm function. While it doesn’t look as oversized as some other G-Shock models, this may actually be something people prefer. As we often find on G-Shock watches the casing is made of stainless steel and wrapped in a defensive resin to offer better protection.

Movement

The watch utilizes a reliable quartz movement that has a 2-year battery life using a one battery system. Quartz movements are great as they remain accurate and reliable without the need for much in the way of service.

Type of glass

The watch uses a toughened mineral glass that’s ideal for this style of watch. Mineral glass offers a good level of scratch resistance and is ideal for shatter resistance. It’s fair to say sapphire glass would offer much better scratch resistance but it lacks the same shatter resistance that mineral glass has, and when you’re making a watch to withstand drops, then mineral is the clear choice to go for.

Calendar

There is a handy day-date and month display available on this timepiece. The beauty of a digital watch is how easy it is to offer an automatic calendar feature. Whereas on traditional watches you’d often have to adjust the date for the varying amount of days in each month, this digital watch adjusts it for you automatically.

Watch strap and clasp

The watch strap is made of a synthetic resin that’s perfect for wrist straps due to its very durable and flexible properties. It fastens using a standard buckle system with a stainless steel clasp. The strap itself measures 28mm wide which makes it notably bigger than a normal strap, this adds to the watches reassuring durable feel.

Water Resistance:

The water resistance rating is a brilliant 200m or 20ATM. 100m water resistance makes it suitable for the professional marine activity, serious surface water sports, and skin diving.

This watch is very impressive and has been getting a lot of wear in our home. This G-Shock watch is the perfect gift for someone.
