Cheap Casio Men's DW9052-1V G-Shock Classic Digital Watch

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

I love this watch! It looks much better in person than it does in the default picture, where it almost looks gray, when in fact the watch is black. So far this timepiece has held true to the legendary G-Shock durability: it has already suffered several major impacts due to spills off of my bike and dropping the watch itself. It has been underwater multiple times and there is no moisture yet inside the screen. This watch feels and looks solid. The countdown timer, stopwatch and alarm are all fairly easy to use after a bit of practice, and setting the time and date is very simple.

One of the best parts of this watch is that it is equal parts form and function. For all of its usefulness when biking, climbing, swimming, paintballing, etc, it also looks great. I am a somewhat stylish college student, and I was never planning on wearing this watch unless I needed it for an activity. However, I have found myself wearing it more and more to parties and other social events.

Overall a great watch at a great price. If you are on the fence about this watch, go for it!

I bought this watch after my old watch, a cheaper casio, had it's screen cracked by a nasty fall. Needless to say, I wanted a higher end, better watch that could tolerate the abuse I level onto my watches. After some research and consulting my friend, a watch fanatic, I decided upon a G-Shock. These watches are famed for being durable, long lasting, and extremely tough. I've had this watch for 2 weeks now and I think its fair for a review.

Pros:
Tough
Good looking
Fairly cheap
Has a Alarm function, Timer, and Stopwatch
200 meter water resist (I haven't really tested this out, but I will say it can easily be submerged in water and continue working)
Calender
Time accurate to +-15 seconds a month
Backlight is fairly nice

Cons:

To wrap up this review, I'd recomend this to anyone who has a habit of abusing their watches

I'm a building contractor who's been wearing G-shocks since 1986. I've probably gone through five of them. With the earlier models I was always having to replace the watch band because I brutalized them so badly on the jobsite. The most recent one I bought was the DW9052. Good watch and the band lasted very well, but the battery is starting to go so I've ordered a new Gulfman. The problem with the DW9052 watch is that the battery is only rated for two years. Granted, I got nearly four years out of it, but I'm buying the Gulfman this time because it has a battery that is rated for seven years. Of course, it costs twice as much, which proves you get what you pay for. (Never pay to have a battery replaced in a G-shock, since they can't guarantee it will remain waterproof after they open the watchcase.)

G-shocks in general are the sturdiest watches ever built. I've beaten the hell out of mine for over 20 years. To borrow a phrase from another manufacturer, "they take a lickin and keep on tickin."

One more thing: if a G-shock is your every day watch and you own a dress watch as well, be careful when you wear the dress watch. They aren't as forgiving as G-shocks. You forget you are wearing them and end up going body surfing or something. It's happened twice to me while on vacation. I destroyed a Universal Geneve that my wife bought me in Singapore and nearly ruined a Tissot. My wife was not amused.
