Casio G-Shock GW400J Review

[nostalgax]

Hi, I picked up a Casio Wademan digital compass watch at a charity shop last week, I have not tried it yet as I had to send off to Amazon for the batteries but am looking foreward to seeing if it is ok. Do you know much about the wademan compass model? I cant imagine how the compass works, the bezel rotates though, that much I know. Thanks.

how much did it cost

[jewels268]

Can you tell me is this watch does a 10 and 1 setting for a runner who has to have it vibrate every 10 minutes and then 1 minute and ten then 1 for about 3 hours? I am marathon training and have a hearing disability. I need to have a sports type watch that will vibrate. Found one (Speedo) but tehy won't ship to Canada.

email me at quentin618 at hotmail for LOCKERZ invites where you can get free g shocks if you log on everyday!

[bluetorch13]

Is this the only g-shock that vibrates?! that's the best feature ever. Alarm even when you are listening to music or have loud noises around.

[Rohhaut]

This is so absurd!

[sonofthedestroyer]

'Tide feature'?

Is that to make sure you dont accidently drown when you go to the beach

[hsxtcqm]

@sonofthedestroyer Very well-said. I'm quite surprised with so many watch companies that are making time-pieces so unnecessarily complex. I recently wanted to purchase a tough watch that would just tell me the time. I admit that there was little to choose from. Ask for a chronograph and see the dozens of watches you get! I guess I will settle for a Marathon J SAR though it does dent the pocket a fair bit!

Fishing, sailing, if you happen to be a fish, etc.

'Its nice to have a subtle watch'

LOL there is nothing subtle about a G-Shock. Even the name says it all. Such a bulky watch is indeed a shock

[mtg249]

NO,, baby-g is made for girls

[whovian1971]

G-shock, take a licking and keeps on ticking! Oh wait.....

[SRHawk24]

wow i totally thought this watch had a altimeter barometer!?

[SR22Pers]

Nah that's the 9200

[jonVaillant]

If you are having trouble finding the watch, just go to the G-Shock website and you can buy it there. It may or may not cost more.

[leestephenj]

one of the best reviews of a watch i have ever seen. Thanks.

[crazyboy496121]

how much???

its nice , love it

[chickenturkey1]

great review, but i wish you could say how much each watch costs in your reviews

[mmiiggeelliittoo]

SUPER RELOJ

[nickmusic12]

hey i have really small wrist...do you think it would be too big or what...and what retail stores sell g shocks? i cant fuind them anywhere.

[L1LNasty]

k-mart

[LouieVuittonD0N]

Theres G-shocks made for people with smaller wrists

I dont own a g-shock(yet) so I dont know how big they really are but the smaller version of the G-shock is called the Baby G

[M0d3rator]

bo baby g is for girls

[1250storque]

Hi, I live in the U.K and cant seem to get this watch anywhere, not even on e-bay by japanese seller! The closest I can find is a GW-9100-1. Its tough solar, atomic but a GULFMAN with the mudman syle buttons. Have you heard of this? if so would you recommend? Ive built a nice little collection of the tough solar g-shocks. The vibtating alarm is a nice touch on the gw-400,Cheers.

[AntaresInScorpius]

my wife complains about me having so many watches but i gotta have this watch!!!

[AntaresInScorpius]

i love casios.

[melvdman]

Hey! Very informative! But do you know what twin resist means though? I have a digital Casio Twin Resist watch. Hope you could fill me in.

[ekkemspark08]

i have G-shock(MT-G)....

wut is special about g-shock anyway??

some pls tell me...

[sakkurae]

i have 2 g-shocks, dw6600 and a riseman, CASIO ROKSCx

[h4ck3r92]

can this watch and other casio watches with solar..to be charged on a lamp or something ? :)) please tel me im curious

[gxam]

yes, they can. But if you put it directly under a very bright light source, such as a halogen lamp, for an extended time at close range, it can heat up a quiet a bit.

[utubeworms]

Casio puts the little round dial that has the seconds in it on a lot if watches. I think this feature is pretty useless and I don't know why they do it other then to make the watch look for informational.

[AntaresInScorpius]

i agree, think they can get rid of that little round dial and make the display of the regular time bigger than it already is.

[cuervocorazon]

does anyone here know the Citizen Bk1840 58A? I have one and it's quite a nice watch

[dalesd]

I gotta have this watch. Where can I get one?

[spanishrage]

Fabulous watches indeed!, this is my favourite brand, I can´t understand why so many people today consider Casio watches as timepieces for "nerds", and prefer to spend a fortune on other posh brands, watches not even featuring daily alarm or calendar...these Casios are virtually everlasting, I love them, above all the retro and vintage digital Casios from the 80s

[roytico74]

I have a Casio G-SHOCK DW-5600 watch with the 691 module. This watch is 18 years old, it's in perfect working condition and I have never had to change it's battery, yeah, that's right!, it still has the very same factory-installed battery.

[ptpiata]

Can you do a review on the G-SHOCK G-9000 Mudman?
