Post-Purchase Evaluation


G-Shock is well-known as a indestructible-like watch and looking at the aggressive looking 51.2mm watch, it’s hard to disagree. It is a bigger sized G-Shock compare to the other model which is very bold and trendy looking. G-Shock cleverly plays with the combination of colors on most of their G-Shock that created a fashion trend on majority younger people.

If you are looking for a G-Shock that is neither colorful nor young looking, GD100-1BER is the answer. The stealth look is a big plus point for this specific G-Shock. The negative screen on the all black color scheme has given the watch a very manly look. Not forgetting the cool-looking Blue illumination LEDs that is used instead of the ordinary electro-luminescence found on most G-Shock. And, it has a improved battery lifespan of 7 years which does not give the hassle of replacing the battery for every 2-3 years found on most G-Shock.

G Shock GD100-1BER, a big, bold, high technology equipped and muscular stealth looking watch that will look good on any wrist of any age.

What a real Shocker of a review, Bro Bergkamp.
G-shock is definately "shocking" the world with their toughness and aggressive looking pieces.
Thanks for sharing the review.

Cheers.

Watchnewby,

Nowadays, watches are getting bigger and bigger in size, including G-Shock.
This piece I owned is consider big for my wrist however it still fits very well.
New range of G-Shock look even more tougher with its bigger size compare to their old size which is smaller.
However, tried this 'Even Bigger' G-shock



Sad to say, it's just not for me. It's way too bigggggg for my wrist. I guess it just doesn't work on asian wrist. Or issit just me?  :Confused:

Not only you, but I, too, have a small wrist.

Oversized watches (>44mm) may not be "my cup of tea".

Cheers.

Watchnewby,

I love oversized watches as they have a more physical presence.
Sized doesn't matter, most importantly, you must look good in it without looking like a clown.

Medium brand?

I see G-Shock in a league of its own.  ;)

Maybe the increase in some range of their watch is because they are powered by 'Tough Solar' so it makes perfect sense to charge a higher price compare to their older model which runs on batt.

A example will be their new range of mudman:
