G-Shock Men's GBD200 Square Case Watch Black

I love this watch. This is exactly what I was looking for. People will say the notifications are not great which is true but the feature is there. I often turn of notifications during the week, but turn them on when needed like doing yard work, travel, or at the golf course. The buzz and beep is loud enough and lets me know to check my phone. In a pinch you can read it on the watch, but I use it to just remind me to check my phone. Again I turn notifications off 90% of the time. The display is amazing! It also counts my steps! This is probably the main feature I wanted this watch for. If you are looking for a smart watch this is not the watch for you. If you are looking for a watch that has smart features then this is the watch you want. Its size is perfect. Personally I don't want the HR monitor but I believe there is one like this that has it. Also the battery being 2 years is awesome!

I've had a DW5600E-1V for a few years. G-Shocks are like potato chips; you can't have just one. The 5600 is a classic, and its features have served me well. But as middle age ravages your eyes, you can't see as well as you used to. The GBD200 caught my attention because of the large display. After doing some reading, I bought one and I'm not disappointed. I don't exercise much outdoors so the activity monitor is interesting but not often used. I have no comment about this feature except that it seems to count steps and measure distance satisfactorily even when not paired with a phone. Pros: - MIP display. This display can produce huge numbers for time at-a-glance, and it can write text and figures so small that your eyes had better be good to read them. The MIP display is the reason I bought this watch and it alone justifies the price, IMO. I can read the time at a glance in nearly all light conditions. When it's too dark, a quick push of the backlight button makes the giant numbers on the display instantly visible. - Displayed information. The date, day of the week, hours, minutes, and seconds are easy to read on the screens with and without GMT. - Bluetooth connectivity works well. - Easy configuration through the app. It's much easier to configure the watch through the app than it is using the watch's menus, though both are possible. - Hyper accurate when paired with bluetooth. - Extra button for backlight. - Large, easy buttons. - Vibrating countdown timer expiration. Love this! You'll always know when the timer has expired. Cons: - Negative display. This watch would be even better if the MIP display were positive instead of negative. - Lack of hour chime. The alarm will both chime and vibrate, but the watch won't chime on the hour. - Long strap. People with smaller wrists may find the band a little too long. - Alerts coming from the phone are much, much too small to read easily. - The stopwatch only counts in full seconds, probably because the display's response time is so much slower than standard LCD. If you routinely measure times with 10ths or 100ths of a second, you may not like this. After about a day, I put the watch into airplane mode and never connected it to the phone again. I quickly realized I just don't need to be so connected and I found the constant alerts (which I couldn't easily read) to be far more distraction than enabler. So my GBD200 is now a "dumb watch" but the display alone makes this watch the daily driver. I'd buy it all over again!

This watch was the perfect fit after my husbands Garmin died. It looks great, has the Bluetooth capabilities and does everything he needs it to do. I'd definitely recommend!

Well I need to revise my initial reaction. It has become my favorite watch. You have to tilt it the right way to get the best out of the display, but I find that I now do that it instinctively. At the right angle the display is very good. The more I wear this watch the more I like it. It's comfortable and robust to the point that I'm never worried about it. The strap is quite good. And the illumination when tilted function is quite helpful indoors. The buttons are easy to press. I don't use the smart functions as the app is cumbersome. But the reason I got this watch was in part an escape from the Tamagotchi-like relationship with the iWatch so that's fine. Having something that doesn't need to be charged every day feels like a luxury. I do wish there was a stronger anti reflective coating on the watch transparency but other than that, this is a wonderful watch. In the last find I'm going to keep my review below and my initial reaction I just got this yesterday. I had been looking forward to this so much but the reality is a let down. So far the display, the main reason I bought this watch, is disappointing. Unless a very bright light is shining on it, the display is, at least to my eyes, dim. I have to tilt the watch at a precise angle just to see it. At any other angle, it looks like the pictures attached. As you can see, even the smaller which embossed "G Shock" lettering is easier to read than the numerals of the display itself. Worse, the glass is clearly not anti-glare, so that reflections out-compete the display. I will take the advice of "Before you decide if you like it, wear it outside". But I'm not keen on a watch whose display is so underwhelming indoors . I wonder if mine is defective. I may return this one and see if another one is better. (I should add that I'm Working Mom's husband, hence the arm hair).

I cant stop looking at this watch...everything about it is awesome. I searched high and low for a smart watch without a stupid heart rate monitor built into the watch. Casio steps up with this watch. Has everything I want. The time and date.Bluetooth. And shows I have messages on my phone. Easy. Simple. Worth every penny.

I would advise against buying this watch for its Bluetooth and App capabilities. Instead, buy this watch because it has one of the most beautiful and legible digital watch faces I’ve ever seen. First things first; this is far from a smart watch that the marketing would have you believe. Yes it can send your phones notifications which is great, but know that you have no control over which ones; it sends them all. The fitness trackers are essentially useless and very cumbersome to use, not to mention navigating anything is painfully slow. So you can forget about using this as a smart fitness tracker etc watch - there are just better options for that. On the other hand, if you are someone who wants a solid and reliable workhorse of a digital watch, this thing is great! It has the most amazing looking display with huge typeface. It has one face with your local time displayed very large, and another face that displays an additional time zone of your choice as well. The light is easy to use as it’s a large button in the center of the watch. One thing to note regarding the auto-light(raise your wrist to activate backlight) feature is that once activated within the settings, it only will remain activated for a few hours and then you will have to go into the menu and turn it on again. Not a deal breaker, but it’s a shame that this has been programmed into the watch this way - assuming to save battery. So if you want a watch that can have a backlight auto-light feature on constantly, look elsewhere. I have small wrists for an adult and this watch is big for me, but it’s not over the top. Overall, for the price, this is a great digital watch that will last you a very long time. I personally have the watch in airplane mode and do not use it with the app or for notifications. If that’s important to you, get an Apple Watch and have fun charging it every night.

Bought it as a gift and they loved it

Great everyday watch, takes a beating, display is easy to read at lots of angles, illuminator is amazing, battery life is shorter than average (replace battery around 10 months)

Gran reloj muy completo bonito y elegante.

An excellent choice if you want G toughness and smart functions

Advisable for daily usage. I love it.

El producto está perfecto, pero la caja venía muy maltratada
