    Review: Casio GA-100 G-Shock Sports Watch

    Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
    The G-Shock is a tough watch to love. They're Casio's answer to the Timex Ironman and, while they're quite rugged, the line has drifted towards Swatch-esque fashion models. Well, I'm glad to report the GA-100 brings it all back home with a world-time feature and stop watch that brings to mind the Citizen Skyhawk series with its dedicated readout windows below bold hands. The so-called "Three Eye" design (I guess the three dials - one analog and two digital - are the eyes? Whatever) and huge hands make this thing quite readable. The watch is light - about 70g - the watch is surprisingly cheap at about $99. It has a 1/1000th of a second stop watch, countdown timer, 29 time zones, and four alarms. It is shock and magnetically resistant, so you can wear it in the hatch in Lost.

  • Verizon launches hardcore Casio G’zOne Rock

    Verizon launches hardcore Casio G’zOne Rock

    Posted on November 19, 2009 | No Comments
    It doesn't sound as hardcore as its predecessor, the Boulder -- but Verizon's just-introduced Rock is actually the company's most functional Casio G'zOne model to date. Though it looks quite similar to the outgoing model, the Rock's headlining addition is the so-called Triple Sensor -- something certain G-Shock owners might already be familiar with -- which allows the phone to offer an integrated thermometer, compass, and pedometer. It also features touch-sensitive music controls, a 2 megapixel cam, and -- you guessed it -- mil-spec 810F compliance for resistance to the everyday ails of the world like water, dust, and sun exposure. It'll be available online starting tomorrow for $199.99 on contract after rebate, while stores pick it up a few days later on the 30th.
