I am a big fan of automatic watches but they are not very suitable for intense outdoor activities. That's why I wanted something for sport and I knew I did not want from the watch to track me. This is watch which let me focus and enjoy my outdoor activities without thinking how much calories I burned, whether I met "my circles", wether I was better than someone else, whether I do too much (well my body can tell me I am doing too much and I do not need a watch to tell me that) and does not send my data somewhere in the cloud. If you are a person like that too, then this watch is way to go. You won't regret. I has everything you need (time, date, timer, alarm, timezones).

My 16 yr old loves this watch! He wears it more than his Apple watch now. I bought it for a one week level 4 whitewater rafting trip he went on in remote Utah. The watch withstood all of the outdoor elements from extensive water, heat, sand, and wind. It looks just like new. The solar charging is wonderful! It gives him everything he needs in a watch and is very functional. I highly recommend it.

The watch over all is good, It has a good enough comfortable strap. The legibility is good with the positive display and even better in dim conditions from the auto light when you bring your hand up and tilt it to see the time, the watch auto illuminates for your preferred seconds (1-3). It seems pretty good quality and the build seems to be very durable. There is an ample amount of features on there which makes it a great all rounder, more than is actually stated on the g-shock site on the features list of the watch, which is strange. My negatives are that; 1. The buttons are a bit hard to press and it can be frustrating as you have to exert some force to use them and navigate where you want to go on the watch, so maybe g-shock can improve on that next time and ... MoreThe watch over all is good, It has a good enough comfortable strap.

My negatives are that; 1. The buttons are a bit hard to press and it can be frustrating as you have to exert some force to use them and navigate where you want to go on the watch, so maybe g-shock can improve on that next time and make them easier to press with much less effort, 2. The auto light is good but can be better for example; in bed you have to try to make a specific motion to make the light illuminate and sometimes it just wont illuminate and then you have to manually do it, but this is a minor negative, I just want extra convenience. 3. The alarm beep is a bit quiet for me and I have missed it over 4 times now, it seems to get muffed under the duvet, so that’s not too great, it could be a bit louder. However, the benefits outweigh the negatives and overall it’s a great good value watch for a very generous price. I would recommend!
