G-SHOCK GA900 Watch

Watch fans typically sit in two camps – those who like to have something understated and refined on their wrist and those who prefer to make more of an impactful statement with their choice of timepiece. If you fall into the latter category, this awesome looking G-SHOCK GA900 Watch from the Worn & Wound WindUp Store is sure to be ticking plenty of the right boxes. This visually vibrant watch offers a bold design with an array of great features which belie its affordable price tag.

The G-SHOCK GA900 Watch from the Worn & Wound Store can be on your wrist for a thoroughly reasonable $140 which considering the sort of visual impact it possesses and the robust nature of its design is a small price to pay in our opinion here at Coolector HQ. It expertly combines a chunky, shock-resistant case with digital displays and analog hands, meaning the GA900 offers a lot of easily accessible features that you’ll use on a daily basis.

BUILT FOR ADVENTURE

The case of the G-SHOCK GA900 Watch is water-resistant to 200m and features all the hard-wearing shock resistance you expect out of this adventure-ready brand. An aggressive, sharp set of hands is decorated with angled stripes, which pick up on the details in the chapter ring and digital screen can be seen around the dial. The dial of the GA900 blends analog and digital elements for a striking and functional time-telling experience. 

At 49.5mm wide, 52.8mm lug-to-lug, and 16.9mm thick, the GA900 from G-SHOCK ($140) really makes a bold statement on the wrist. Around the outside of the case, you’ll find four textured buttons that take care of the operation, while the 5th button on the top of the case activates the “Super LED” to tell the time in low light conditions. Most G-SHOCKs come with an integrated rubber strap, but that’s not the case with the GA900 series as you can personalise these models to your liking courtesy of the interchangeable straps with quick-release spring bars.

This watch boasts all the standard timing functions that you’d expect to see in the standard G-SHOCK lineup. World time display for 29 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, and five programmable alarms are displayed on the digital readout just below the hands. The 5637 module is accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month and the watch will run for an impressive 7 years on the CR2016 battery housed inside. What’s not to like? Especially considering it can be on your wrist for under $150.
