Found a Casio G- shock that really works for me in looks, feel, and function. Being an avid biker ( non-motorized) and a skier, this watch is perfect for me. Like most Casios, this watch has a tone of features and requires some reading to learn all the functions. It is a perfect match for my activities. Here is some of the specs but if you get bored reading through them, just skip to the pics:

These are great tool watches. I have a couple of Pathfinders.
Handy to tell if I have time to cut the grass before the next rain.

This one is my favorite - renamed it my 2012 watch.
For the one you grab before you run and/or KYAG.
It preceded yours by a couple years - same features.

A Casio that works for me Icon_biggrin A Casio that works for me Icon_eek Wowee ! This G-Shock has a BUNCH of features ! A Casio that works for me Icon_cheers
It has a BIG aggressive look, with a nice easy to read display.
Along with a mean looking case, and super tough strap/bracelet !
You can see it's a comfortable watch, as well as a watch that
can look good, but still be extremely rugged ! Enjoy your new
Casio NWG !..Great pictures too BTW !!!

PostSubject: Cat's Ass...that model...   A Casio that works for me Icon_minitimeSun Feb 14, 2010 7:22 pm

Great new model! Thinner and lighter than my old PRG Protrek PRG80Y ti......I've had the PRG40, the stealth black ti PRG80 in the past, and now keep the stock oldie as a reminder of past days. This one was modded(!) by a pal in Spain who reversed the dial to black and changed the color to gold readouts. He also applied lightly some lume aroundt the bezel slots! large at near 48mm or so, it still is fun to fiddle the pushers! The only downside to the mod was that the barometer window cannot be read...but the altimeter is still legible.
