Casio G-Shock Military Matte Black GA-100-1A1 Men’s Watch
My son Roy who as Corporal in the military was promoted to Sergeant last week. He sent us a photo of the party he had to give to his friends. While looking at him, I noticed that he was still wearing the watch I had given him just before he had joined the military. It was a simple hand wound analog watch with date. In the photo it was not looking very clear so I guessed that it must by now be full of scratches earned during his training in the military. Time for an upgrade I thought.
Roy was due some leave and he had whatsapped us that he would be coming home in two weeks after completing some training as a Sergeant. I thought this would be the right time to gift him a new watch; a kind of congratulatory gift on his promotion and an upgrade on the old one.
The choice of which watch to buy was a genuine no-brainer. There was only one choice for real men who live a physically challenging life; the Casio G-Shock. But specifically, which model to buy was undecided.
Over the weekend, I Googled for Casio G-Shock and was rewarded with a zillion hits. Then I remembered citywatches.ieit was the website I had visited some months back and I liked because they had a wide variety of watches to choose from. Moreover, they offered phenomenal discounts on every watch.
This time too I glad to see that I wasn’t off the mark. Citywatches.ie had a wide collection of Casio G-Shock and I took the time to check them all. They even had G-Shock watches for women. I decided it was something to be filed away for future reference.
The watch I selected for Roy was the Casio G-Shock Military Matte Black GA-100-1A1 Men’s Watch. This is a rugged, all-in-one, I-shall-not-break kind of watch; very much like the boys in the military.
Apart from the time, Casio G-Shock Military Matte Black GA-100-1A1 Men’s Watch displayed a host of other information some of which, I have yet to figure but was sure Roy would know what they were.
The Casio G-Shock Military Matte Black GA-100-1A1 Men’s Watch comes in a hard resin case to which is attached a polyurethane band so, it is totally non-corrosive and of course, the whole package is shock resistant. The watch has backlight auto LED with afterglow feature. It has digital display that includes a 1/1000 second stopwatch and can display time from 29 different times zones (48 cities UTC).

The Casio G-Shock Military Matte Black GA-100-1A1 Men’s Watch gives an hourly time signal and entire package is magnetically resistant. With an accuracy of + /- 15 seconds per month and 200 meter water resistance, I felt that this Casio G-Shock is absolutely ideally suited for the tough boys of the military. I bought it, and now I’m waiting for my boy to come home.
