Casio Gents 51.00mm Quartz Watch with Black Digital dial and White Plastic/Resin Strap Strap GBX-100-1ER

I dont regret buying this watch. It has been great and accurate so far. I have used the MOVE app on android and ios and its simple and easy to get along. The design is good fits equally well for casual and formal occasions. I will recommend this.

If you want a good GSHOCK this is the best option.

I’m sure there is a “basic” 5600 style solar MIP g-shock coming. This one is so close.The bad:1. App (move) is awful wish it would work with the other app for just basic functions. Doesn’t seem to sync time automatically.2. There are a number of annoying functions some you can turn off and others you can’t and occasionally you get a dialog box which takes a couple of seconds to action.3. Battery which I think last 2 years4. Light is okay and works but dislike the uneven spread of light and prefer the old EL style.5. Dislike the metal surround - trying to find a “night” version replacement of this watch.6. Some of the display parts are pretty small very difficult to easily see steps for the day for example.The good:1. MIP display is very good in all light - would love to see one where you can flip negative to positive.2. The tide part of the app is much easier way to pick area you want and not having to reference elsewhere to update phone.3. Great to have moon data and it is really nice how you can flip between the different display options (6 in total).4. Buttons are really nice and sand proof so very nearly a mud resist design I would say.5. Strap is super bendy and super confortable even though plastic buckle.Do not regret buying this for the MIP display.

Update 14/10/2023 - I'm a VINE VOICE now but this review was initiated before I became one . I purchased the watch because I wanted it and paid for it myself - I strive always to give an honest and balanced review.I bought this GShock for 3 main reasons1. The excellent display. Can see this in most light conditions, much more than other LCD displays2. It's a good looking , very nicely designed functional Casio GShock3. the Tide graph ,Moon state , Sunrise /Sunset info displaysI don't much care for the activity tracker functions. Well I don't use them at the moment. For some specific people I'm sure they are just fine and dandy. I object to the Casio G Move Phone app collecting data about me in any case so I've disabled this feature.The watch is packed with functionality. This is good.It's a G Shock so the expectation is it will be tough as the proverbial old boot!The MIP display type is brilliant. It's easy to read in bright sunlight and lower light conditions. The backlight feature is good and I can see all the screen in the dark. You can also set it up from the watch to Auto Light when you move your arm.. this is great! The band is a soft rubber material and is quite comfortable to wear.Some minor Negatives1. NO Hour SIG (hour SIGnal Beep) can be set up.. very minor criticism !2. Watch strap seems to attract dust - more so than other watch straps? However easy to clean it with mild detergent ,a soft toothbrush and some warm water though!3. Difficulty pairing with the new Casio Watches App. Sometimes it pairs straight off other times you have to repeat the Pairing sequence multiple times!4. Light goes off if you touch any buttons! a bit annoying at night if you are trying to set up a particular function..need a torch!I spend a lot of time on the beach so I wanted an accurate Tide Graph watch. This watch doesn't dissapoint on this score. You can set it up using the G Move App to a specific monitoring point and then sync the app with the phone periodically. It's accurate to the minute. You can elect to manually set the next high tide also. This is not as accurate though. I wanted this Tide feature and it works fine for me. The tide graph has two screens. one a short data set and the other a longer data set. you can set up multiple locations ( 4 in total I believe )The Moon state and sunrise/ sunset times is set by entering the Longditude/Latitude . This is accurate within minutes and I've checked the moon state watch data against other data and it's accurate.The watch is typical Casio quality. The plastic case and watch strap are what you would expect. The strap probably won't last forever but you can replace it and or exchange it for a fabric NATO one with some adaptation I believe.For me in summary it's got what I wanted and a whole lot of other features I can pick and choose from. I'd Recommend this watch for people who like beach activities, surfers, beach combers, walkers, water sports enthusiasts, night walkersIt's a smart watch of sorts. Not an Apple Watch , but it will do notifications for calls, texts etc if Bluetooth paired with your phone.It compares very favourably to my Casio Mud Master.. The Mudmaster strap is a little stiff as it's plastic and inflexible compared to the G-LIDE strap!

Great watch, lots of features - however other than the displayed time the information on the display is very small. To read it I have to put reading glasses on so it spoils it for me. I wish I wasn't so blind! Can't imagine it affecting young eyes!

I hate negative display watches for the reason being they're hard to read...except this watch which is not a digital display but a pixel display so its as crystal clear as the positive display watches. I gave it 4 stars for this reason....no signal alarm which is crazy to me as this is just the standard and the stopwatch has no 100th of a sec, other than that a really cool watch.
