Great watch! Duluth Trading Company had this watch on sale. The price & value was wonderful! I bought this watch because I trust DTC. It was such a good deal I ordered 2 watches for my son & myself. The watch is extremely comfortable to wear. There is quite a bit of technology with practical uses. My previous watch which was not a G-Shock broke when I dropped it on the floor. The toughness & durability is impressive with this G-Shock. I have gone a number of years without a wrist watch but being old school a man cannot live by smart phone alone.
Casio G-Shock GA-700UC-8ACR

Color: Gray
If you’ve ever looked at the wrist of a soldier, police officer or firefighter, chances are you’ll see something in common – they’re all wearing a Casio® G-Shock® watch. That’s because the G-Shock has a reputation of being the toughest watch on the planet. And it’s true – the G-Shock is one serious watch. A watch that’s not here to play or make your outfit look all pretty (even though it’s admittedly one bad-ass looking timepiece). This is a watch for those whose lives and livelihoods depend on accuracy, usability and durability.
The G-Shock origin story began in 1981 when Casio's head engineer wanted to make a watch that would continue working after any fall the wearer could survive (at least 10 feet). In it you’ll find all the features you need in a watch, and nothing you don’t. Every function and control is designed to perform simply and relentlessly well. Confidently wear it hunting, fishing, swimming and surfing – it’s water-resistant up to 200 meters. Instantly know the local time wherever your travels take you – and check back in on your home time with a simple toggle. And forget about missing a meeting or being late. Your G-Shock comes with features you can actually use, like a fully pre-programmed calendar and alarm system that’s easy to set, snooze and stop. There’s a reason why the Casio G-Shock has earned its place on the wrists of Navy SEALS and outdoor adventurers alike. And it’s about time you find out for yourself.

I own a GA 700 series Gshock and I absolutely love it. It will take whatever you throw at it under normal everyday working conditions. Sun or rain or dust, banging against doorways or on equipment ect. Available in a lot of different colors. It is kind of big so if you have to get your hand in small areas like if your a mechanic then maybe not just FYI. Again awesome watch. Night light is also not the greatest but minimally serves.
