G100-1BV Classic
The simply designed Casio G-Shock Classic analog-digital watch for men offers shock resistance that’s great for your most vigorous sporting activities as well as anti-magnetic properties. The durable round black watch case measures 47mm wide (1.85 inches), and it’s matched to a comfortable black resin sports strap. Timekeeping features include a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 24-hour capacity and elapsed time mode, dual time for tracking a second time zone, daily alarm, and 12/24-hour formats. Other features include an Auto Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2039), ±15-second accuracy per month, Afterglow backlighting, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)–which will stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving.
Note: Though this watch is designed to withstand exposure to magnetic force, you should still keep it away from machinery and appliances that generate a strong magnetic field.

G100-1BV G-Shock Watch Reviews
Overall Good – Some Complaints, January 30, 2008
Chris – 3 out of 5
Pros: This watch is quite accurate. I’ve never had to make any adjustments to it and have been wearing it for nearly two years. Still on the first battery. This watch is also incredibly rugged. I am an active, active outdoor adventurer and have ABUSED this watch. It’s never once asked me to ease up on it; it just keeps telling me the time. This includes a couple SCUBA dives.
Cons: The light only lights the small digital display at the bottom of the watch. If, like me, you keep the digital display on the date mode, the night light won’t help you much. I don’t believe this watch has ever leaked, but if the temperature is cool, this watch fogs up. And finally, if the time is between 25 past the hour and 35 past the hour, don’t even think about being able to read the digital display at the bottom; the minute hand WILL obscure your view.
Overall this is a great, rugged watch for the price.
Good Functional Value…Nicely Styled

What’s not to like about a seventy dollar waterproof, shockproof multi-function watch that also looks good. It’s a seriously rugged-looking watch but very light weight. An inset digital screen is controlled by a mode button that advances through the date, digital time, alarm time, stopwatch, and second time zone functions. The screen can be backlit in a cool (really) blue light for night viewing. The rectangular screen is a bit small and not easily read with these baby boomer eyes in certain offlit situations. It is also difficult to read the screen when the analog minute hand sweeps across the screen through the 4 to 8 hour period. I’d pay another ten bucks to see this screen replicated on the top of the watch face (between 10 and 2 o’clock)to avoid this. No big deal. Hey, it’s only seventy bucks!

Nice looking watch, December 28, 2009

I originally wanted a higher-end casio but decided it wasn’t worth the $300. This watch, on the other hand, is awesome for the price. I really like how it looks and is very comfortable to wear. The only negatives would be that you can’t really read the digital display unless you press the light button and the minute hand covers the display at times. Finally, I wish I could turn on a hourly chime but doesn’t seem like it supports this.
