A 90s classic in colours for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers, of which I am neither. I've always wanted a DW 6900, but was always put off by its seemingly large dimensions. I have a 6' wrist and it was only after watching The Mad Watch Collector on YouTube wearing his OG DW 6900 featured in Mission Impossible 2 on his 6' wrist that I took the risk thinking—if it fits his wrist, it should fit mine... Right? Well, I haven't been disappointed and this watch—while being a beast because hey, it's a G-Shock, does fit on my wrist without looking like a can of tuna. It's the largest size of G-Shock I can probably get away with which kind of shatters my dreams of getting a Rangeman which is larger. I might still buy one though and use it as a desk clock. This watch is iconic for its three eye/triple graph, which is more of a cosmetic feature than something that is actually functional. The eyes look like turbines that fill up as they count seconds that total up to one minute, thereafter they clearl and start filling up again. If you want functionality, look to the GW 6900 with Tough Solar and Multiband 6, the latter being useless if you live in South Africa and not in the northern hemisphere where the radio towers that a watch with Multiband 6 syncs to are located. This watch is all about the silhouette and the dial. It looks simultaneously futuristic and retro and it looks like some sort of mecha tank when viewed from the sides. The display is crisp and legible when viewed straight on which is a relief because some Casio digital displays can look a bit grey or washed out when viewing them directly. The functions here are at their most basic. There's time in 12 or 24 hour formats, counting seconds, day, date and month on the home screen, then there's a stopwatch, countdown timer and alarm. The alarm is a flashing alarm which means the backlight will flash with the alarm if you enable this setting. The backlight is LED and is bright. I miss the electroluminescent backlights that would light the entire screen evenly as well as the aquarium blue-green colour, but they do consume more battery life. There is no tilt your wrist to activate the backlight or world time on here which is a pity about the latter, but it's also not a deal breaker—again, look to the GW 6900. This model is essentially the same as the one released in 1995. It's the two-tone colour that drew me to this variant. I love the warm orange accents on some of the text and the larger eye on the right. It's a very literal representation of the tactical nature that G-shocks are associated with. It's utilitarianism personofied. I also really like the metal light button under the screen that has a great knerled texture that is just the right amount of rough that won't scrape the skin off your fingers and just adds to its toolish aesthetics. I mentioned the watch oozes outdoor explorer. I am not into gorpcore, but this watch fits that fashion trend perfectly if you're into wearing head-to-toe Patagonia or The North Face etc in urban and work environments. Overall I love this watch and the it's purchase was a happy convergence of circumstance. As usual, great service from The Casio Shop. The watch arrived in three days from order and all in perfect condition, including the packaging.
This watch is the first watch that I think Casio got correct in terms of size it’s a little larger than the small fw-91 and more flatter skinnier than the A168. It still has the old look and feel of a vintage Casio. The watch has a Bluetooth functionality and this ensure the time is always synced with my phone . The step counter works great and the backlight is adequate when in the dark. The watch doesn’t require charging. It also has a helpful mobile phone finder function where a misplaced phone is located via ringing with the push of a button on the Casio . For those comparing this to other smart watches don’t . At its core this is still a Casio first with added functions that work great . Overall I’d say this is a good buy and well worth it.
Not only was the bumper right but the payment and delivery was excellant.
Thanks
Was very happy with the quality of the T-Shirt, its cool as it feel aligned with the active g-shock culture.
Its a lot slimmer than i thought so it works out better for me, it is a great watch
Great service watch arrived perfectly
This has to be the best negative LCD display I have encountered on a Casio watch that isn't Memory In Pixel (MIP) technology. Maybe it's because the area on the lower two thirds that displays the time, date, day, timer, stopwatch and dual time is so large, or maybe it's the tech used in this model ... Whatever it is, it just works, even at extreme angles and in dim light! I'm really impressed and while I am a fan of negative displays, the poor legibility of other models (LCD) have always steered me towards positive displays. This was my main reason for buying this watch and it's a keeper. Everything else is standard G-Shock goodness — 200m of water resistance, a rugged case that will more than likely outlive you in a bomb blast, world time, 5 alarms, 5 timers, a stopwatch, and then the two other stand out features, the vibe/vibration alarm and the lower button on the right of the case that activates the countdown timer without having to cycle through the modes to get there. My only gripe is that the dual time does does not show the local time while showing the world time on the same screen, instead it shows the month and date. That's the only reason for the four star rating. Aside from this, this watch is for anyone who wants a blacked-out, stealthy bullet-proof watch that oozes tactical and retro vibes. Its shape sits somewhere between the shape of the square/DW5600 and the octagon of the Casioak/GA-2100. While there isn't Tough Solar, the battery should last around 5 years depending on your usage of the functions, specifically how much you play with the LED light, there's two of them that lights up the display, quite blindingly and thus effectively — you could use it as a torch. This watch seems to have flown under the radar and it was by pure luck a new work colleague was wearing it on his wrist. If it hadn't been for him I might never have given this particular model a second glance. They have been discontinued so if you are interested in a negative display G-Shock that isn't MIP, don't wait too long.
Great service again from TCS :) I have bought a number of Casio watches from them over the last few years and I have found them reliable, the watches are carefully packed and I haven't had an issue where a watch was damaged and had to be returned. A big shout to you and the team!
Amazing service. Quality products. Fast delivery.
Great beginner G-Shock. Purchased for my 9 year old son, fits his wrist perfectly. Matt black colour, clear display.
Very fast and easy to order
Great quality
My husband loves it
Very cool watch. Just surprised it didn't come in a watch box. Still, very happy.
Great, exactly what you would expect from Casio. Light is a bit dull, but does work well enough when dark.
Was very difficult to collect the watch at the depo and I would advise you to do something about it .
I recently purchased the Casino Retro from TCS, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! I've been dreaming of owning one for the past 20 years, and finally, getting it at a fantastic price feels incredible. The purchase process was smooth, and the courier services provided excellent tracking, giving me peace of mind throughout. Every interaction was professional and seamless. Highly recommended!
