Review on Casio G-SHOCK AWG-M100A-1ACR Men's Stainless Steel Quartz Watch with Black Resin Strap - Durable and Stylish by Jacob Brooks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very attractive appearance, worthy cost. But the negative ad is holding it back, big time.

Ah, Casio. A company that has quickly become my favorite watch brand because they manage to pack in their watches at such a good price. This watch is no different, offering a massive amount of features for less than $100: radio-controlled time sync, solar power, an analog/digital combination dial (although the time is actually synced, unlike many other offerings), water resistance to 200m , and shock resistance. ; along with standard world time (48 cities, 31 zones), stopwatch (capacity 59'59.99" before loop), countdown timer (capacity 0'01" - 100'00") and alarm functions (5 alarms, hourly beep)., There is one major downside that holds this back and unfortunately that is the negative display which while incredibly beautiful to look at is almost impossible to read. Just make or break the watch for you.-- - --Pros :- The design is not as blue as pictured but the blue ring combined with the dark solar panel dial gives them a very nice look.Not as loud and flashy as other G Shocks is what put me off G Shocks at first .Sure they are great but for the most part they tend to be too big and most need to advertise every facial feature and even more so have their clean face - Pretty good value for money - Nice texture and comfortable strap - The resin case and case have a sc nice, slightly rubbery texture, and it feels like the watch can definitely take a heavy hit and survive. Cons: - Not used - Not a big deal but it would be nice. - A bit chunky - But it's a G Shock. Easily forgiven. - Branded/Oddly Shaped Straps - Casio wouldn't exist without custom lugs! But I think there is an adapter mod. - Negative display is the biggest disadvantage. It looks extremely attractive and gives the dial a nice, discreet look, but the small size of the LCD, combined with the difficulty of seeing it unless it's exposed to direct light at the perfect angle, means the readings are almost unreadable will. I wanted to love her, I wanted to try to dominate her, but unfortunately that's the only important thing holding the clock back. There is a similar model with a positive LCD display, but it is much more expensive and can only be imported. Other: - Came with a regular plastic stand. Unfortunately I don't have the fancy G-Shock tin :(- The box was slightly damaged on arrival
