This watch brings great memories to me. I started Surfing in the 80's while I was in High school. Back then the only watch that could take such a pounding was the G-shock, and then one day I saw a Yellow G-shock, it was awesome, the regular ones, the black color ones you could find them everywhere, but not these babies...

The watch is an exact copy of the 80's model, funcions are the same, with the exception of the solar powered battery, this is a great addition, as it is not any watchmaker or watch store, that can appropriately reseale the watch once you need your battery replaced.

My only complain is that the watch is not made in Japan, is made in Thailand, yet the watch's quality so far has been excellent. It does feel a bit lighter than my previous G-shock though. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a Japanese quality watch but heck, you can't find them in this color anymore, if you want a Japanese one, I believe there is a black model available here at Amazon.

The buttons are a little hard to push, but the watch gets the job done. It's a tough watch. You can't go wrong with this one. I spend a lot of time at the water, swimming, surfing and S'up and like the old days, this G-shock can still take it. During my years as a Surfer I had close to 10 Free Style watches, they couldn't take the beating my ol' G-schock took.

Great service from the seller, the watch arrived earlier than expected with all its manuals and Casio Box.

See ya'in the water!

I've had my YELLOW G-Shock for 6 months. I get positive random comments about it every week from complete strangers. No one has said they didn't like it. I'm not a fashionista. That's all I'm saying.

Purchased the G-shock after I broke the movement in my second automatic watch in 2 years. The solar powered battery holds a charge very well. Keeps good time. It's comfortable on the wrist. What more could you really ask for in a watch? Its no Rolex Milgauss, sure. It won't score you points with women, but it is 100% honest about what it is. A watch that will never need a battery as long as you own it, will keep close enough to perfect time to satisfy any normal person and won't break unless you pound it with a sledgehammer. It will serve you well, heartily recommended for anyone with an active lifestyle who is whimsical enough to be comfortable wearing a bright canary yellow watch.

I have owned a few G-Shocks in the past but this is my favorite, and might be one of my favorite watches ever. I love having a variety of watches, but I hate replacing batteries on a constant basis, so solar power is perfect. It's easy to read, the functions are intuitive and simple to navigate, and it fits well. I have a very small wrist, but it does not look huge or feel clunky. I love the yellow, but now I need to decide what color to get next.

My Casio G5600A-9 watch arrived moments ago and I must say that I am quite impressed at it many USEFUL features... among them, its World Time and Daylights Savings features. As an international traveler, I find these two features indispensable. Let's be honest. It is a very "bright and chirpy" colour watch ( bright yellow ) and will attract many on-lookers. But that besides the point. I find its ruggedness particularly useful, it is water proof, and withstand many everyday climate elements. This watch is not meant to be worn while working in the ditches but should be fine for sport activities, eg. snorkeling, biking, camping, etc. A tough watch with an colourful attitude. This bright yellow watch is very hard to find, especially in this model. Casio usually makes them in black but when I found that they make it in such a sporty yellow colour, I dove right in!! Brightens my boring wardrobe too, I might add!!
Hope this helps you if you are deciding to purchase one.

My husband was surprised when I got this for him as a gift last August. He wasn't sure if he would like the bright yellow. He is a software engineer in a large technology company, and didn't know if it would stand out too much in the office. Fast forward to now, and it has become an everyday staple in his wardrobe. It adds a dash of color to a boring outfit, and has lots of fun, geeky features that he loves. He has several watches that are much more expensive, but for every day wear, he usually picks the bright yellow casio over all of them. He says it is light weight and comfortable to wear, and looks pretty cool with almost any outfit.

awesome watch. very nice color, not too shocking to the eyes. very functional . love it

First of all I just want to thank the company for selling this watch for a good price. I went to different stores and the cost of this watch would be $130- $150. But here, it's $73 with free shipping. Thank you, thank you, thank you Watch Colony!!
I saw this watch at a store in person and it's really beautiful, and I was praying that it would be the same watch from the store and it was!!! I love the gadgets on this watch and I love how it's solar powered also! I recommend this watch to all, awesome watch with an awesome price!!

This is the coolest digital watch i've ever owned. I love the color and the functions. It's great that it's solar powered and turns off on the days i don't use it. Love it. Worth every penny.

Yummy yummy yummy. Love this watch. This watch is a flat yellow not a glossy, shiny yellow like i thought it would be, but it is still super clean. Definitely recommend this watch to anyone wanting to buy. One of my favorite G shocks.
