Review of the Casio G-Shock MRG-7600D
If you think big, plastic, and inexpensive when you think Casio G-Shock, I’m about to change your perception of Casio forever. MR-G is the name of Casio’s premium G-Shock line, and Casio spared neither feature nor expense designing and manufacturing these watches. One of the reasons you probably haven’t heard of the MRG line of G-Shocks is that they aren’t sold in the US. A...

Review of the Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF
View the Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF photo gallery. The new Casio G-Shock GXW-56 — and its American counterpart, the GX-56 — are proof that huge is the new big. With a case 55.5mm wide at its widest point, and 17.5mm high, the GXW-56 is the biggest G-Shock ever made. (Yes, they...
Review of the Casio G-Shock GW-2000
Casio G-Shocks play many roles: fashion icons, hardcore tool watches, respectable divers, etc. Today, we look at something of a new phase for the G-Shock line in the form of a “multi role fighter.” The Casio G-Shock GW-2000 sports aviation styling while retaining the GMT features of many of its...
Review of the Casio Pathfinder PRW-5000-1ER

Water resistant (depth...

Review of the Citizen Chrono-Time AT
View the Citizen Chrono-Time AT Photo Album. The choice for an "always right" (solar-powered, atomic time synchronized) dress watch has, up to now, been somewhat limited. Apart from the Japan-only Seiko Brightz, the only watches in this space have been from Casio (and their Oceanus brand). The Casio watches that...
