I started wearing Casio watches when they first appeared on the market back in the 80s. They have always been dependable and rugged. For over a decade I wore a g-shock tough solar with the ability to auto correct time. It was around $20 and it was amazing. I never even changed the battery. That said, I moved over to smart watches for a few years and I had nothing but problems. Poor battery life, bad connection issues, notifications not working...on and on. I'm done with them. It was time to go back to a real watch. In my hunt for a new daily wear the Casio brand was on the top of my list. There are others but for sake of time I'll skip them. I like big watches so I mainly searched the G-Shock line (even though I do like the Edifice line). I'm also an outdoorsman so I wanted a real rugged watch, not one that just looked like it. Fake rugged watches are a dime a dozen but are not worth it. I read and watched a ton of reviews and settled on the GST-B line of G-Steel. I had first ordered the GST-B300-1a because I like the black look with the red highlights. In my search on Amazon the GST-B300B-1a didn't even show up as an option. I found it only because I was looking for a limited edition version (Casio is known for making them) and a link sent me to this Amazon page. Since I liked the all black (looked more like a G-Shock than the all steel versions). I canceled my other order and purchased this model. Normally I don't like gold but on this watch it's brushed so it looks more like brass. The dark green face is striking. The entire watch is absolutely stunning. The black dial at 6 o'clock looks better than the gold or silver and makes it easier to read the hands. Although looks and readability matter, that's not why I purchased this watch. Here are some of the reasons: Very reasonably priced. Solid tank-like construction. Great size for most men. The buttons feel solid and are easy to push. Light button in front. Very bright light on analog and digital displays. Auto light option with light sensor. Bluetooth that doesn't need to stay connected. Easy to turn on/off Bluetooth. Alarms and timers can be set by phone. Five alarms. Solar powered so long battery life. Time can be set by app or direct. All world times available. Nice resin/rubber band. Display options on digital readout. Day of the week in the 2:00 circle. Do your research. This is a great watch. I couldn't be more pleased. Read more
