Reddit reviews Casio G-Shock Quartz Watch with Resin Strap, Black (Model: G9000-1V)

Finally my time to shine.

If you are looking for a good-for-everything watch, you have a few options. If you are looking for an automaitc watch (no battery, purely mechanical) you really can't beat the SKX007. It has excellent durability, classic looks, and the lume (glow stuff on the dial) is excellent. There is no battery to die, although you may need to get it services in a decade (or get a new one). Leave it on the bracelet for a sporty everyday look that can go with a suit, to a wedding, or a funeral. Throw it on a NATO strap (how I wear my watch every day) for comfortable everyday wearing. Get different coloured straps for different things, and change it up. A new strap can make it look like a totally different watch.

If you want something that will do almost any occasion without a mechanical movement, basically any Citizen Eco-drive will do the job. I myself like the Citizen Nighthawk, although it might be because I'm a pilot. The slide rule on the outside is great for addition/division (how much to tip, how much tax, etc.) and it will tell a second time zone.

If you are looking to make a statement, there is nothing that tops the Seiko "Orange Monster". This thing is built like a tank, the utomatic movement is proven, and the lume is out of this world. It also comes as the "Black Monster" if you want to be a bit more subtle.

If you are looking for a dress watch, I would recommend the Orient "Union" as it has a durable, in-house movement and great looks.

If you are looking for something badass that will be great for nighttime, there is the Traser Code Blue. It is a very durable quartz watch designed for military operations. It has vials of tritium (hydrogen with two neutrons) and will glow without any exposure to light for at least a decade.

If you are looking for a digital watch, I would recommend either the Casio Mudman if you are looking for a large, indestructable watch (That is also allowed for space travel by NASA) or the Casio F91W which is much slimmer, but less durable.

Possibly one of the best deals in "stylish" watches is the Timex Weekender. The come in a million different colours, have an electric illumination, and are very stylish and durable.

My advice would be to get the SKX007 on the bracelet, and then grab a few NATO straps. I have had great customer service interactions with Clockwork Synergy. Their straps are of decent quality, and their service is second-to-none. If you have a little cash left over, grab the F91W for chores are hiking, or anywhere you may need a stopwatch and illuminated face (i.e. Flying).

Tons of GShocks (as has been stated).

My personal favorites:

Digital only readout - Mudman - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FPVUJA/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Analog readout (internals are digital) - GA-800 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JLQCD8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A37VKTSZ7S1PMR&psc=1

G-shock Mudman is hard to beat. Buttons are a little harder to push but it's completely sealed from fluids/dirt so it's easy to clean.

The DW5600 is excellent if you prefer smaller watches

I also like the DW9502

The DW6900 is awesome as well, this model never needs battery changes thanks to solar cells on it. It's a classic model

I had a black background on a previous watch (Armitron, this is my first G-Shock). I didn't mind it so much because I could personally see it most of the time. However, I have [the clear background with black numbers] (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FPVUJA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on this one and love it. It is just 10x easier to read for me.

I also like how it's matte coloring all over.

when i bought this it was $50, best watch I've ever owned

this also has a noise indicator i think

G-shocks are great. I've had the one I'm wearing now for six years of lab work. The plastic doesn't get brittle with repeated exposure to solvents. They are a bit pricey but they use solar charging and last forever. Make sure you buy a real one. The market is saturated with knockoffs. Here is the link to the one I wear

Although I have never heard anyone say wearing a watch in lab is a bad idea, what people have said here does make sense. Personally, I think that its much less dangerous to be wearing a watch then either turning your head to look at a clock (looking away from your work) or checking your phone (contaminating your phone, something you put on your face, with whatever is on your hands/gloves). That being said I am constantly checking the time. I find it easy to get lost in lab work.

I personally really like the [mudman] (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o132/perfectlykevin/Picturesofthings047.jpg). Also available in [black] (https://www.amazon.com/G-Shock-G9000-1-Black-Resin-Sport/dp/B000FPVUJA).

Others have suggested G5600 but there is a Glide model with tide times & mode phase, useful for surfers.

Other options are the red G7900 or more subtle. The G9000 mudman is for those into muddy outdoor activities; I really like the round buttons.

Just the normal G9000-1

Thanks again for all of the replies and suggestions. I think I have settled on a model:

Again thanks for all the help.
