Casio G-Shock DW-9052-1VDR DW9052-1VDR Mens Watch

Casio's G-Shock line has three remaining "basic" models - the DW5600 from the '80s, the DW6900 from the '90s, and the DW9052 which is also from the 90's. These "basic" models have time (day, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds), alarm (single multifunction), countdown timer, and stopwatch modes, as well as a button-operated backlight. They lack advanced features like world time, multiple alarms, mute, vibration alert, solar charging, atomic timekeeping, automatic backlight, etc. that can be found on more expensive models...but are rugged, water resistant to 200m and all the watch most people need. The DW9052 is different from the other basic G-Shocks by having a strap with hinges that allow it to conform to smaller wrists, as well as shrouded buttons that are larger and easier to use. The DW9052-1V has red, white, and gold lettering and blue on the graphic display. It is not quite as small and thin as the "square " DW5600, but is smaller and thinner than the DW6900 and will fit most wrists while still being large enough to look "tactical." The resin has a soft, premium feel that belies the price, and the 59g weight helps it wear comfortably. Overall, an excellent and tough watch for the price.
