I decided to grab this watch, as it was on sale, via Warehouse deals. I’ve been looking to get this watch for some time now, but I didn’t want to pay full price for one, so I just settled for one that’s been opened already.
Very similar to the DW-6900, but in addition, this watch has Tough Solar + Multiband 6, as well as a world time function, which are great features to have in a watch. There’ll be no need for a battery change for a long time, assuming that you’ll be using it everyday, exposing it to sunlight.
This is the latest module, 3179, which still has an EL backlight, as opposed to the new white LED backlights found on the 5610U and 5600U square models. I loved my DW-6900U so much, I felt that this was a nice upgrade from that, despite having an older module.
With its rugged structure, this watch is the ideal G-Shock for everyday use, especially for those with bigger wrists, and want something a bit bigger than the square. The dimensions are 53.2 mm x 50 mm x 17.7 mm, so it’s actually slight thinner than the DW-6900, which has a thickness of 18.7 mm. My wrist is 6.5 inches, so if your wrist is smaller than mine, I wouldn’t recommend a watch of this size. Otherwise, it fits great on wrist.
Overall, this is a great watch, and if you’re looking to buy a G-Shock, this is another great option to consider.

Tiempo y forma de llegada del pedido muy buena, justo de acuerdo a lo indicado con Amazon Prime.
El reloj es justo lo que buscaba, yo no soy de objetos de lujo u adorno, me gusta lo cómodo, práctico y funcional al 100%. En el caso de los relojes no es la excepción. Este reloj es muy táctico, ya que su funcionamiento solar te hace olvidarte de la necesidad de baterías por al menos 15 años o más. Resiste las caídas de 10m de altura y soporta los 20 bares (200m de profundidad en e agua).
Tiene la hora normal (con DST), y puedes consultar la hora de otras zona horarias y elegir una como secundaria. Consta de 4 alarmas y una llamada Snoze (para despertar). Cronometro de 24hrs y temporizador de igual tiempo. Pero algo que me encantó, es que todas las noches se sincroniza con el reloj atómico que se encuentra en Colorado (Si vives en américa del norte, para sudamerica la función no aplica) o con otros relojes alrededor del mundo, con lo cual siempre tienes la hora exacta, en la que se basan todas las mediciones.
Definitivamente y en conclusión, es lo mejor que podrás encontrar, si te gustan los relojes rudos y funcionales.

I am very happy with this watch. This is my first Casio G-Shock and so far, I love it. I think the size and shape are just right and I like the functionality. I was a little worried that it might be a little big and bulky on my wrist but I think it fits just right. I have an average size wrist and the watch doesn’t look abnormally big on me.
I really like the solar function. I wore Timex Ironman watches for years but changing the batteries was such a hassle due to the difficulty in getting the back off with the wrist band in the way. And I had to replace a couple of watches when I didn’t get the back sealed properly and water got inside. I’m hoping that with this solar powered one, battery replacement is a thing of the past! It really doesn’t take much effort to keep the battery fully charged. When I got the watch in the mail the battery level was at the third level (of four), or the level just below full charge. Initially it took a little bit to get the charge up to full and it went back and forth from full charge to down a level a few times over the first few days. I’m assuming the watch had been sitting in a warehouse out of the light for who knows how long so it probably needed some extended light exposure to fully charge. After a few days I was careful the expose the watch to direct sunlight for longer periods and that brought the charge up to full and it stayed there. Since then I haven’t made any special effort to expose the watch face to light (sun or electric), just the exposure it gets through normal everyday use, and it has stayed fully charged.
I’ve been really happy with the atomic timekeeping as well. The instructions go to great lengths to explain how you need to position the watch a certain way on a window sill at night so that the watch can receive the time keeping radio signals. It sounded like it was going to be a real pain since I prefer to sleep with my watch on. So far my watch hasn’t missed the signal once even though it stays on my wrist in bed at night. I imagine that results might vary depending on where in the country (or world) you live and what the surrounding terrain is like. I live in the northeast US and in pretty hilly terrain but so far, no problems with reception.
Other than those specifics, I like the overall look and function of the watch. I was concerned the numbers might be a little small but so far that has been fine. Figuring out the controls was not difficult. I did read the instruction manual to find out about some of the specific functions but overall I just played with the buttons a little bit and most of it is pretty intuitive.
I’ve only had the watch for a few weeks so I can’t speak toward it’s long term durability but it definitely seems very well constructed and I look forward to many years of service. It looks like the band is relatively easy to replace should the need arise. Overall I think it is a great watch. If you are looking for something that is functional and durable, I highly recommend the G-Shock GW6900-1!

I had an original DW-6900 purchased over a decade ago. It was tough and lasted a long time, but mostly sat in a drawer because I didn’t think it had a good functionality to size ratio. The “three eyes” design of the original used a lot of real estate on the dial for the purpose of graphically counting seconds; something already done by the seconds portion of the readout. For the tradeoff of bigger size, the original DW-6900 still only had the basic functions.
When I saw this updated GW-6900, I was drawn as before to the aesthetics – I’ve heard many people say that this is the most popular G-Shock form factor of all time, and I suppose it works its charm on me as well. But the difference here is this one is updated for the new millenium. Has the same great looks but much improved functionality.
Above and beyond the original DW-6900, this one is solar charged, synchable with 6 atomic radio signals (vice 5 that many other multi-band watches are equipped to hear), has a very well thought-out world time/GMT function, auto illuminator, and multiple alarms. But best of all – those previously useless “eyes” now have real functions. And good ones too; they show either power reserve or the status of various watch functions.
The left eye is related to power levels:
Power save [on/off]
Different levels of charge [high/mid/low/charge]
The middle eye is related to watch functions:
Auto Illuminator [on/off]
Beep on button push [on/off]
At least one alarm is set [on/off]
Snooze alarm set [on/off]
Some function related to the atomic time radio signal that I haven’t read about yet
The right eye continues on in its semi-redundant role as a graphical seconds counter, but it amps up to subseconds when used with the stopwatch.
Another great improvement over the DW-6900, and over some other auto illuminator models, is how the illuminaton works. First of all, you can set the illumination to stay on for either 1 or 3 seconds. Nice. Also, you can also stick it in auto illuminator mode, which turns on the lume when you put your wrist horizontally in front of your face, then rotate your wrist toward your eyes so you can see the dial.
The improved functionality of this auto illuminator implementation is that it can stay on all the time (vice being automatically shut off over 8 hours as with some other models), but here’s the good part – it won’t turn on the light when you’re in a bright area. It’s a “set and forget” feature, which in real life operation, tends to work just like the lume on an analog watch: it’s there when you need it and not there when you don’t. And it won’t waste power. Pretty sweet.
This is the only radio-controlled watch I’ve owned that has managed to sync on the first night. I put it in a westward-facing windowsill between the blinds and glass, with the dial facing down and 12 o’clock side facing west. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it synched on the first try, right around midnight. For best results, find a window that is facing Ft Collins, CO.
Overall I’d say this is the most refined and useful G-Shock I’ve had yet. Seems like Casio has been listening to what the customer wants. The only improvement I’d ask for is a better lap timer on the stopwatch. This is where the Timex Ironman models really shine; I’d like to see the ability to count laps and review lap times on a G-Shock.
This watch is an engineering marvel. Excellent value for Amazon’s price of $88.

Pros:
-Great Atomic Timekeeping
-Very Good Solar Power
-Fits my skinny wrist (and more than likely your fat one too!)
-Although made out of plastic that WILL react with deet and other chemicals, it is VERY durable (there are also strap alternatives on the market)
-Has alarms and many other functions that put my analog watches to shame
-No smartphone connectivity crap
Cons:
-If you live in the southern hemisphere of the world… you’re… basically out of luck with the atomic timekeeping functionality.
-You also don’t have city/time zones specific to the southern hemisphere, so you’ll have to use a city that is equivalent to your timezone equivalent in the northern hemisphere, and/or manually adjust an existing timezone that is pre-programmed if there is none close enough. This is especially true for adjusting DST/summer time which you can turn on or off for any city.
-No smartphone connectivity… if you’re that guy…
I’m going to the southern hemisphere soon. I got this watch because I am concerned with my watch making me a target. I also wanted to lower the risk of this watch being stolen. At the time of buying this it was 89$.
Ultimately I wanted a watch that looked so vanilla, retro, and cheap that no one would bat an eye. But for me I love it! Regardless of the issues with the atomic timekeeping and radio reception in the southern hemisphere, if I can manually adjust, I’ll be just fine. Having the tough solar is really nice, so I don’t have to swap the batteries ever!
Thanks CASIO!
