    It's the watch your dad had in 1989. It is cool for this fact because you are now the same age as your dad in 1989. You never understood this basic watch in your younger years since you always wanted a Rolex or Omega. You always wanted a Lamborghini or Ferrari too but guess what? You are older and drive a paid off Camry and just like that Camry this little beauty is the most practical thing ever and can probably survive WWIII. It can get beat up, neglected, you can leave it on at the neighbor's pool party and it will always be there to tell you happily that lunch time is in 10 minutes.Yeah 10 minutes can you believe that the morning went so quick for a Tuesday? Also remember it is now March. Yeah February kinda flew by right? It is a certain confidence that lets the world know you aren't compensating for any lack of character. It's not even solar. Keep of the light button and the battery will last 11 years no problem but, you will probably drop it on a cruse before then and have a archaeologist in 3789 C.E. find it in the now drained ocean and think it is a ancient symbol of our god 'Casio'. Yeah it is tougher than nails. And yes button 'A' is recessed more than the other buttons so your grubby mitts won't accidentally hit it and engage the 'change time' mode and eff up you perfectly synced quartz Feng Shui. Casio has got you bro.

    Nico, you son of a b*tch, I’m in.

      The number of people that will now proceed to math check their age vs their dad's in 1989

      • +3

        I did, and it turns out I am the same age as my Dad was in 1989, so I’m in!!

        • I can't believe it. I'm one year off, but wow - that surprised me.

      • Math done on my Casio #DBC611G-1D (beautiful watch, change my mind).

        • If I only had smaller fingers I'd get that.

      • Turns out I'm 2 years older than he was in 1989 so not too far off!

    • I'm 4 years older than my dad in 1989 :(

      • I’m 2 years older . But it’s ok you’re doing alright

      • 3 years older than my old man in 1989. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    • Some will like it, some won't.

      • I think the Casio Royale is better (it doesn't look it, but it's as sturdy as this Casio G-spot).

    • Rather an ugly g shock then a Daytona if I'm innerwoods

    • Go snort some msg uncle Roger

    • this watch is deserving of a fuiyoh. have some respect for the god-tier casios

    Be aware of auto calendar up to 2039 only.

    • +2

      That was an error, I've fixed it now. It's 2099 (see link to Casio website for all the specs).

      • Casio sold their keyboard business and used the money to slow down the effects of climate change - hence the revision.

  • -2

    What is it with G-Shock watches? The display looks the same as all other Casio but wrap in thick plastic and costs a fortune (for what it is).

  • Is this a good price compared to normal?

  • It’s a classic beauty. I have the Tough Solar version as it won’t need batteries, or checking the seal was done right after a battery change.

    • +1

      Many comments online say these last 10 years on the original battery if you don't use the backlight often so I don't think it's worth spending the extra on the solar.

      Also it's pretty easy & cheap to replace the battery yourself.

        I'm into my 12th year now! I just use it. If I need the backlight I use that too - that's what it is for. This is my outdoor tough watch. I like that it is uncluttered (for a casio) and doesn't have unnecessary functions. Also, the crystal is recessed.

        I bought mine in 2008. Still running on original battery …

        Another advantage of the solar is the clarity of the display. It's literally as good as it look in the picture, the difference is quite pronounced. Compare the pair.

  • MDV-106 seems cheap too. Its US stock but shipping should be free for prime members.

    Given this is from Amazon US, is it able to show the correct time in Australian?

    • +6

      The US is a strange place but time is measured the same way in all countries.

      • I think aznbob means they prefer time measured in SI units rather than imperial

    • +1

      The only "issue" I am aware of is that the date is displayed as MM/DD and is unable to be changed. This applies to all G-Shock Classic models sold worldwide as far as I'm aware so it's not really avoidable.

    • +1

      No, it won't. You need to wear it the opposite way to make it works.

      • +1

        Just switch hands it'll work. (>.<)

    • That's a good point, last time I got a watch that was still on US time, it was 1986.

  • Paid $70 for this only the other week. Oh well

    • If you contact amazon customer support, they will refund or credit you the difference.

      • +2

        Will do, thanks!

        Edit - they told me to piss off lol

        Edit 2- second person slung me a $15 credit

    • Including delivery?

      • yep

        • Not too bad then. (Unless you have prime)

  • I wish they made a g shock with the face of the other cheaper casio watches like the 800H-1AV, always found this watch ugly.

  • The first and second pictures show different products!

  • history low price?

    • Cheapest $40.66 back in December 2017

  • +1

    It still seems to be on stock but is somehow harder to spot. Look for a link named “ New (4) from $58.72” to see it.

    • Thanks, I've asked the mods if they can change the link because the system won't let me do it.

  • Dammit, mine arrived, box crushed up, even the g shock got chipped on the side and a button jammed in.

    Now don't know how long to wait until it's cheap again.
