Casio Adult Men's G-Shock Classic Core Watch DW5600E-1V

An icon, the only watch you really need to own, but will make you want all the varieties of Gshock. 40 plus years on, the square is still perfect. All the features you need, none of the fluff. The only thing I have issue with is the picture on this items webpage is for the older Electroluminescent. Different model technically, they sent the newer LED back lit. I returned and reordered but still got the same LED model. So expect the led model to come. That being said, the LED model has an estimated 10 year battery life. So instead of 3 years with the EL, you get a watch which can sit for a decade and not be used. Plus, being a 200m watch, not having to open it up keeps the water resistance intact.

I just purchased my fourth Casio G-Shock watch. My first one was when they first came out. I scuba dive and when Casio made a watch good for 300m with a stop watch and count down alarm for around $35 back then I jumped on it. I would set the count down alarm for my planned bottom time and could hear the alarm at depth real well. Pressing the buttons at depth never caused a leak. I was hooked on Casio from then on. I used the regular alarm function as my morning alarm clock until age robbed me of my high frequency hearing. Now I wear one because it's simply rugged and waterproof. I wear it surf fishing, swimming, and I still dive but only when I can hook up with my "old" buddies. As a former Industrial Engineer, I still find myself taking time studies at the DMV and Disney World. (Only an IE would appreciate that) I also use the stop watch when I'm grilling outdoors. This watch is just a classic in design and function. I've looked at other digital watches but they just don't compete in fit and function. I keep buying replacements after the battery dies because they never seem to have waterproof integrity once the initial factory seal is broken. Plus after 8 to 10 years of daily wear they do get a little crusty from outdoor activity where the watch is never removed from the wrist. Save yourself a few bucks and order your Casio G-Shock from Walmart online.
