One of the most popular and affordable G-Shocks on the market, the Casio G100 is a basic analog-digital watch that impresses with the practicality, shock/water resistance, and great price. Although with a somewhat bulkier look than the similar priced DW5600, it can still match all major clothing types, except fancy suits or Tuxedos.
It comes with a simplistic design featuring a resin strap which has a one pin securing system and multiple tightening levels, a case also made of resin that features eye-catching red insertions on the top/bottom and indicators for each button. Somewhat uncommon about the design of this watch is that the case flows along with the strap without differentiating in any way, making it look like made from one piece.
The display as said before is an analog-digital one that features only two hands for minutes and hours and a small screen on the bottom that shows the values of the stopwatch, alarm, date, day of the week and the dual time feature that lets you set one more time zone to be displayed on this little screen beside the regular one showed by the analog hands.
The alarm is quite loud and it will be enough for most situations even tough in noisy environments you cannot rely on it. Another feature that makes the G-Shock G100 shine is the magnetic resistance. Casio praises that contrary to the other cheap G-Shocks that quickly got broken any time you would expose them to magnets, the G100 will not. Now this is true but only to small power magnets. Once you expose it to higher power ones the watch will get broken just like any other watch.
