Casio Men's G-Shock G9000-1 Sport Watch

The g shock g9000 is a stone cold classic. It has a smaller size people love, a very clear display, it’s cheap, it has an EL backlight, it’s mud propf, has two 1000 hour stopwatches, a countdown timer with auto repeat. The only bad thing is the buttons are very stiff.

This is a tough watch with great pedigree. It has the usual G-Shock rugged looks with additional protection over the side pushes. As other reviews state, this does make them tricky to operate but if you're prepared for this before buying, you quickly get used to them. Please note although a G-Shock tin is shown in the description, it is not included and the watch comes in a cardboard box.

Bit of a cult classic now. Wears a bit smaller than most G-Shocks, very comfortable and good functionality.

I was in two minds about buying this watch or the Casio DW6900, I decided on this for the craziest of reasons, that this watch could run a stop watch with visible bars filling up around the watch in 5 min increments, giving me an easy glance display of how long I had been working out for, while also running an interval timer with auto repeat and a countdown bleep in the last 10 seconds (it can also be set to bleep when the timer gets to the final 30 secs on a 1 minute timer) and I thought that would be useful as I try and get back into the gym and try this new EMOM style of workout- it is not really my thing, but I am trying it out and this watch was up to that job and so that was the deciding factor for me- sold! It really wasnt (the deciding factor) though. I was going round and round looking for the thing that would make the difference between these two watches and in the end I decided it was that. now, that I have the watch, I have forgotten all about such things. This is just a very nice watch. it looks really cool. my wrist is around 7inches. it is not too big at all, by my standards. I do not wear G shocks normally and a watch that is about the size of the Casio Duro or DW5600 would be a normal size watch for me. The button pushers are a little tough to push- nobody lied about that, but not really a big deal. I can adjust to that and I am pretty sure most people would for a watch they like the look of. now, I'm ready for the gym and anything else that life throws at me, with my new G shock- but not today. its the weekend ;) But, if you are interested in this watch- I suggest looking at the reviews on the US Amazon. people really go into great detail about the watch and their experiences with it. But I really like the look of this watch and the auto light- it has not come off my wrist once :)

Magic!!!!!!!!!!

Very comfortable wide strap with double holes. Great legibility, the dial layout is classic and simple, you can immediately see what you need to. Buttons are very stiff to operate, I'm guessing this is to do with the mud resistance.

If you are after a Good tool watch at an amazing price you can’t get any better then this . Got to be quick as I can see the price is going up .

Five stars for watch 1 star for packaging. Expensive watch in a plastic envelope

So far i love it. It can take some abuse and that's why I got it. Yes, the buttons are hard to press but unlike other watches, the buttons are hard to get dirt and mud into (hence the mud-proofness). Very happy with this watch edit: I'm adding something that I noticed last week (4 months after purchase): There's a tiny bit of condensation forming on the inside of the watch. I removed a star for that because this being a waterproof watch, it seems to me it should have been sealed in a dry environment to not trap humidity in there. So either it was not sealed right, or moisture found its way in. 2nd edit: I contacted support and I was informed that a little bit of condensation, that goes away after roughly half a minute is normal if going from dry to humid environment or very cold into hot (iirc). This may have been the case, as I was outside in minus 20 C and very dry and noticed it when I got back inside (warm and humid). It also didn't last long. So I will put back the star, and if it doesn't get worse and only occurs under those circumstances, will leave it at 5. 3rd edit: (1 year later) It got worse. I sent it in for repair, but they did nothing to it. It's actually pretty ridiculous. I was out in the cold last week, and the half that was at the edge of my jacket sleeve was completely covered in condensate, whereas the warmer part, was clear. I still get condensation when coming out of the shower. Terrible. I am pulling out two more stars. Otherwise the watch is still good and sturdy, but I wouldn't pay for another one. I'll try to get it replaced by my credit card's warranty extension. If they do, I'll update again. Ok, FINAL EDIT april 2017: Maybe it was a fluke, who knows, but i didn't throw it out and ended up having to change the battery on it. I won't get into the details here, but when I sent the watch to the repair center in ontario, they didn't even open the watch to attempt to repair it. I cleaned out the inside lid that had some material trapped in there preventing it from sealing properly, and my watch has been working PERFECTLY since I did that. No humidity and as sturdy as a Gshock should be.

Very attractive and sturdy watch however size is pretty small, almost as small as baby g shock. It has beautiful dual illuminating light. Unfortunately I can't wear it as it's quite small on my wrist but still keeping it for my collection instead of returning it.

Simple, hardy & reliable - a bit like it's wearer :-)

Rugged look

Not a classic gshock size. Way much smaller design.
