Casio G-Shock GW-7900B-1ER Watch Review

THE Situation

It’s a G-Shock: they’re well-known to be incredibly hard putting on and shock resistant. The situation is a nice macho and angular design, and it is well moulded.

What exactly is it made from? Although it appears as though plastic, it's not - it actually Urethane resin. This isn't brittle like plastic. It will not crack or break under impact and shock loading and contains outstanding abrasion and impact resistance for lengthy existence.

Among the primary options that come with G-Shocks is when the instances are created having a hollow construction and cushioning to safeguard the module. The G means Gravitational, so their primary focus is having the ability to withstand drops. They're going through lots of testing, browse the web site to watch the videos of those tests: drop, piston, hammer, vibration, water and ice tests.

The timepiece is very light at 71g. Clearly it's because the truth that it’s an electronic watch made from resin. In my opinion the only real steel may be the frame from the situation, caseback and also the buckle. When you initially hold or put on it, it may feel just a little lightweight, however, you soon arrived at recognize how great this watch is despite the fact that.

The top situation features 4 awesome screws within the corners from the bezel. I suppose they really make a move and contain the situation together and aren't just a pleasing touch.

The markings within the bezel area are positioned in to the plastic and full of an easy gray paint to ensure they are readable. The moulding is fairly and also accurate there isn’t any sloppiness anywhere.

The pushers possess a knurled grip and supply decent feedback when pressed. The underside right pusher is a touch different for the reason that it offers out many has vertical channels for better grip, since this is the main button for features such as the stopwatch and timer.

The timepiece includes a mineral very. Clearly a hardlex or azure very could be more suitable but it’s properly protected against knocks through the protruding bezel area.

The brushed stainless caseback is guaranteed by screws hidden beneath the wrist moulds, with assorted watch details / specifics and also the emblem engraved in it.

The 200m water proofing implies that it’s perfectly able to anything an ordinary person like we could throw in internet marketing even diving.

THE DIAL

This model (I believe) may be the cooler searching of these two using the negative display - the backdrop from the panels are black, with lighter digits. Some might find its a little harder to see though - but that is why the illumination is invaluable.

The illumination supplies a vibrant eco-friendly glow whenever you press the G button around the front. You are able to set the amount of time it displays as well as automatic activation whenever you lift up your wrist.

The dial is digital obviously. Some may be placed served by that immediately. But remember, this can be a functional watch. The whole dial is really a solar panel (in addition to the LCDs), and you may visit a subtle blue tint into it once the light hits it right.

The underside LCD may be the primary display, using the some time and running stopwatch or timer etc. The very best panel contains extra information like the date, world time zone, an account of the items mode you’re in etc. Between these panels would be the Moonphase / tide / running seconds indicators.

In addition, there's a couple of discreet indicators dotted around, for example battery level, RC indicator, mute, auto illumination, and alarm.

THE STRAP

Such as the situation, the strap consists of Urethane resin. This might be easily rubber but Urethane resin is much more abrasion, sunlight and safe from nature's elements. Additionally, it appears pretty resilient to oils when i accidentally got a bit of sun cream onto it also it easily wiped off pretty easily. Besides, this means the situation and strap complement perfectly.

The strap is extremely soft onto the skin, for those who have it sized properly you are able to put on everything day. It isn't that breathable though, and also you help you find get a sweaty wrist.

The strap includes a plain matte finish as reported by the situation, no detailing or patterning on top.

The strap and situation don't have conventional lugs. The strap is guaranteed in to the lugs with screws each side, incorporating the wrist moulds. The portion of strap that's connected is only the center section, similar to a tab that's placed in to the lug.

The strap includes a very plain polished tang buckle. This really is quite disappointing thinking about the cost from the watch. The Casio emblem is engraved at the base - It are the best on top to exhibit some kind of detailing.

THE MOVEMENT

The “movement” inside the Casio G-Shock GW-7900B-1ER is the 3200 module. Not really a “movement” whatsoever, as it’s completely digital and it has no moving parts. Actually, this is actually the first digital watch I’ve ever reviewed here on WIAA.

The module is protected against shocks when you are suspended inside the situation from the couple of points, as though it’s floating on air. It features a 9 several weeks battery existence from full charge with no more contact with light.

So it’s lengthy lasting when it comes to battery, hard putting on (may take a knock) and precisely sets itself regularly so will be set properly.
