This is a great watch for the money. I've taken it surfing a few times now -- the tide indicator works reasonably well, provided you set it up correctly (google recommended for that) -- and after simply washing away any sand or surf wax from the day, it still looks glossy and brand new. I have a few watches, some of which are exponentially more expensive than this one, but I find myself wearing this more and more (even when not doing anything that would require the G-Shock 'toughness'). It works well and just happens to look great to boot.

Nice watch. Definitely a smaller version of the G-Shock Line. It has a very glossy appearance, more glossy than the picture. The major downside are the buttons on the watch are very small, and can be difficult to use.

Old school styling, simple interface.
Shiny band, doesnt feel cheap though.
Low profile doesn't hang up in my gear when putting arms through sleeves in wetsuits, backpacks, or heavy coats.

Accurate watch to predict tides, tested in the St. Lawrence estuary, Québec. Nice look, buttons are well placed (no accidental button pressing). It would be nice to know sunrise and sunset for the next G-Lide generation.

This watch fits well, looks good, shows the moon and tide with clarity for its size. I use it for boating so that's great. Tough to hit the buttons to work any of the functions as they are small and too indented. So changing functions, using the night light, turning on and off the countdown and timers means growiing long nails and working on your precision! Very durable but the durability hurts the functionality.

I love this watch. It's classy and everything that I was hoping to get out of a watch. I've received so many compliments on it and I love how well it goes with anything I choose to wear. I would definitely buy another one

This watch is tough, looks great (shiny brilliant white) and the tide graph helps me surfing all the time. Love it!

I bought this as a gift for my brother...although the look is very basic the gloss gives it a clean, hip look to it and you can wear it with any casual outfit...great for anyone looking for a nice watch on a budget but wants to have a bit of style to them

I love this watch! It has a lot of features, such as a stopwatch, world time, a timer, and it even shows the moon phases and an approximation of water tides. How cool is that! At first it may seem intimidating because of all the features it comes with, but once you play with it for a few minutes you will find it pretty easy to use. Not to mention it looks great! It has a smooth glossy finish with a slick desin on it. The price I bought it for here on amazon was great because i've seen it elsewhere for more. Definitely a recommended buy if your looking for a beautiful, sporty kind of watch that has plenty of cool features.

I grew up in the 80's when Casio's were huge. Switched to Freestlye brand, then as I got older, switched to Nixon watches for night and Timex Ironman's for casual/gym use. When I saw that they updated the G Shock and it came in white, I knew I had to have one.

This watch has all the great features of a classic G-Shock, but is stylish. The tide and moon functions are a plus and are fairly easy to understand once you've finished the initial set-up. I wear this watch to work, to the gym, and out at night. Love it!
