Casio G-shock GA2000: A standout digital-analog product in smartwatch era
Casio’s
G-shock series
of watches, known for its toughness and ruggedness, caters to a niche
audience, just like premium smartwatches. It's a classic
military-type watch, and earlier I often wondered why someone would
spend so much money on such bulky watches. A twist in the tale came
about a year ago when a friend lent me his G-Shock
Mudman for a few days. My view on these watches completely changed
after that.
When
I recently used the G-shock
GA2000, the watch’s charm was reinforced. From
splashing of water to withstanding shakes, bumps, and even fall, the
watch easily handles any drill.Priced at Rs 8,995, this digital-analog watch has a mineral glass, magnetic and shock resistance. It is equipped with an LED light and auto light switch. Users can select the illumination duration, afterglow, as well as world time for 29 time zones, with city code display and swap to home city when needed. The timepiece has a battery life of three years.
The Carbon Core Guard structure makes the watch lightweight (64 g) and at the same time provides it sturdiness. The watch only looks bulky; its weight is just fine for everyday use.

The dual back cover protects the back surface against impact. The carbon surface feels comfortable against your wrist. Read More
