Very cool new G-shock
By Mr. Ben
At first when I started seeing the GA-110 design, I thought it was ugly. Some of the Japanese versions of this were a little out there as far as color pallette, and I thought the Dee and Ricky limited edition was hideous. but the more you see it, the more you come to appreciate the odd styling of the watch. Having it in person it kind of reminds me of the styling of a Star Wars Stormtrooper. I don't have the kind of money to import a G-shock, and the Dee and Ricky edition is skyrocketing in price. But the basic models that we have here in the US, black and white. Are both very worthy additions to your G-shock collection.I have enough black watches, so this white and grey one had to be mine. A lot of sites comment on this model being large, but it really does not take up much more space on your wrist than a DW 6900, and in fact the profile of the watch is a little flatter than that particular model. The band is the "double hook" design, similar to the Mudman and Riseman watches which makes the whole thing look a lot thicker. The face is wonderfully "techie" even by G-shock standards. The LCD is split into two parts and you have a "speedometer" dial on the left side of the face, underneath the hands. I do have to say the hands on this white version can be hard to read against the busy background, I think some of the limiteds, with their vibrant hand colors are more readable, but you still have the digital face which is nice and clear.Sticking to the analog portion of the watch, the hands do not smoothly sweep, instead you can see the minute hand "click" each minute, making the hand positions very precise- something I prefer over the gradual smooth movement you see on other watches. The hands do move smoothly when you set the time, however, which is very cool to view because you set the time the same way you would on any G-shock.The LED illumination is a disappointment. The LCD is not electro-luminescent like on almost every other G-shock, instead there is one bright LED under the 6 o'clock position that illuminates across the face (its a yellow light). I think they only went with an LED for battery life, but that's just a guess. It does not do a good job of illuminating the hands OR the LCD, so its more for show than anything.The watch has a good array of features: 4 alarms (plus snooze and an hourly signal), auto-light (which only stays active for 6 hours at a time, against to preserve battery life), Stopwatch/speedometer*, a 24 hour timer, and a world clock. The speedometer is a weird one since you set a distance (just a number, no actual unit like Miles or Kilometers) and then it basically seems to divide the time by that distance... and report it through the small analog arrow. I don't really get it, but I guess it does technically function as advertised, even if its pretty pointless (but then again, you're buying a ana-digi watch in an era where everyone has phones and computers with clocks built in). The other functions are pretty much the same from any G-shock.So, if you're looking for an interesting (in that "so ugly its cool" way) looking watch, and something that is plenty durable, this is a fun watch. I wouldn't necessarily make it my daily "go-to" but its got a new, unique design and is a solid package with a few quirks and shortcomings.

Mixed Feelings
By VincePSP
PROS:Looks as cool as a techno-watch gets from Casio; looks are stunning and attract lots of attention. Most of the features are common to digital watches day, date, alarms, chrono, timer, world time, etc.CONS:The white gets dirty and stains from shirts and jackets. You can barely read the busy display and the minutes hand is black. Why black? The hour hand is white. The speed/distance feature is useless for most people, and the worst part is that the LED system truly is the worst implementation I've ever seen on any watch since the birth of digital watches in the late 70's - it looks bling when you activate it, but it completely fails to illuminate anything adequately enough to see in any level of darkness.COMMENTS:Make all colored plastics solid with zero painting (Otherwise, how can you say this is a "tough" watch?), dump the speed thing, redesign the backlight, get green by adding solar power, and you'll have a G-Shock worthy of the price tag or more.OVERALL:It's a fabulous LOOKING watch, and for its vibe I recommend it. But wear it sparingly to keep it clean. Beware of it's shotcomings before you buy - there are many more practical and useful models out there.

incredible!
By Richard J. Munassi
i always wanted to get a Casio G Shock watch, but was worried that none of the series would have a large enough face to look good on my wrist. This model of the G Shock is perfect, with it's large 50mm+ bezel.the photos do this watch no justice, it's a work of art. beautiful, tough, rugged and built to last, i can not begin to convey how happy this watch has made me.i highly recommend this watch for any man, and i will be picking up the all black model shortly.
