Casio Men's G-Shock DW6900-1V Sport Watch

When I ordered the watch (21/09/24) it cost £51:28, it is now £50.70 (30/09/24). All my previous and current G-Shocks are dual analogue-digital watches, this is my first digital G-Shock. The build is good and solid, the watch is easy to set with decent functions. The digital face is clear and easy to read, it’s accurate and the backlight is clear in the dark. I was a bit disappointed that it came in a cardboard box, all my previous G-Shocks came in a metal tin. Like many fans of the G-Shock watches, this my fourth and I’m waiting for another digital watch to arrive from Amazon US. The collection is getting bigger and these watches are well built, robust, functional and they look good. Even though the latest price is slightly cheaper, I’m glad I bought it and at this price point I can’t complain. My best advice to any new G-Shock fan boy or fan girl is to shop around on various sites be it Amazon or elsewhere for the best/cheapest price.

Amazing value and price Great retro watch Decided on this between the solar version

Paid £50 for this watch, to be sent from Amazon US. Took over a week to arrive but it saved me £30 by not buying it in the UK. It Is an amazing looking watch in the flesh. Don’t freak out when you notice one of the buttons looks stuck in compared to the other buttons on the watch. It’s meant to be like that. Didn’t come with a manual but YouTube can help you set up the watch. Like I said the watch looks really good in the flesh. Gives 90’s vibes with the colour scheme and look. Don’t regret buying this watch at all.

The product itself is fine, but the packaging was very poor. It was not secured properly, and since it came all the way from the US to the UK, the box arrived smashed and bent.

Was a little surprised as it’s a big watch but the display is relatively small. No idea what the 3 circles above are for. No instructions but you can find on You Tube. I do have a collection of automatics, Garmin and a Suunto core but this is my favourite . Bomb proof!!

Brilliant watch, and what the G-Shock range is all about. Affordable, Rugged, Clear Display, Accurate and with good, gimmick-free functions. It also has a strong backlight too, which can be useful for night illumination! My only criticism (and it's a small criticism!) is that the functions don't cycle forward and back, as they do on earlier modules such as the DW6600. This is something I can easily live with, though! All in all, a great watch!

Really nice watch

arrives in a flimsy cardboard box, which had been crushed and torn, luckily the watch still works , but very disappointed in the condition it arrived in , especially as it was a gift

スピードモデルと、こいつはやっぱり鉄板でしょ。最安でGET出来て満足です。

Great watch when you get it on sale, I was not sure about the 3 small dials but after a few days I really like the watch. easy to set up and a good looking G Shock!. This is a big watch!.

Excelente reloj !!!, practico , con la información necesaria . Bonito el color negro con letras rojas . Display con el tamaño exacto . (Nunca se queja y no te hace quedar mal en ninguna reunión )

I have always been a big fan of G-Shock watches, since Casio already makes an incredible watch for a great price, but the G-Shocks take it to another level. I bought two G-Shocks after graduating from boot camp back in 2010. This particular one is just now getting replaced, and the other one is still going somehow. Aside from one minor change, this is exactly how I remember it being. PROS Battery life is insane, and far exceeds the estimated lifespan. I believe when I bought my first DW6900, I believe the manual said that the battery life should be about 7 years. I don't know what I did to it, but mine lasted almost 15 years. I have another model that is still going from 2010. They're rugged without compromising comfort. The straps take a bit of breaking in to get the stiffness out, but once that's done, you barely even know it's there. This is light and comfortable enough that I wear this to bed, in the shower, while swimming, basically 24/7. There's rarely a time when I'm NOT wearing this watch. These keep time with extreme precision. After about a week of wear, I have gained about .25 seconds when compared to my phone clock, since when I set the time on my watch, I made sure everything down to the second was synced up. This may result in needing to make a minor adjustment a couple times a year, but maybe not even then. I know a lot of people like the inverted, fully black display, but I prefer the standard screen that this watch has, I find it a lot easier to read quickly. I also find that when backlit, this display is far easier to read in the dark than the inverted display. CONS I believe my old DW6900 had a steel buckle, and this new one is plastic. If that's the case, it's a bit disappointing that the price of the watch has gone up a bit, but they've changed out a metal part for a plastic part. Having said that, the buckle is easy enough to change out for a steel one. VERDICT There's a reason that, despite all these watch brands that claim they're "Special Forces rated watches", the only one I know of that is actually used by most American special forces is the G-Shock, specifically the DW6900. They trust this watch because it's easily affordable, it keeps time with precision and accuracy, it can stay on someone's wrist without irritation for weeks on end, and it can take a serious beating and keep going. My last DW6900 survived firefighting trainers, tear gas, two deployments, and so much more. I am looking forward to the adventures I'll have with this watch on my wrist!
