• When did you last get a watch that was just a
  watch? If you have those assortments (obviously)
  and youre willing to spend money, you can
  literally pay tens of thousands of dollars for a
  watch with hands, face and band well, its not
  Even tells time-you have to watch it (old joke
  but true). Why are all these watches so
  expensive? The answer includes a combination of
  marketing, well-known brands, brand awareness,
  and craftsman quality. So, if you spend thousands
  of dollars on a watch, are you willing to abuse
  it? Wear it in a clean and dirty place? Wet? Do
  you slam into the door frame or drive out
  (potentially) bad guys? What modern warriors need
  today is a reliable watch that not only provides
  time, but also other information that might be
  useful in unfriendly situations. Enter the Casio
  G Shock Master of the GG-1000-1A3.

• In todays market, there are several standards
  from which watches can be created to show their
  robustness and durability. There are criteria to
  measureWater resistance-usually indicates at
  what depth the watch seal breaks.Impact
  resistance-often measured as a drop from a
  certain height, or as a foot-pound of pressure
  the watch case receives before something fails.
• Scratch resistance often stated in loose terms
  about what the crystal should withstand.Another
  very common item that appears in clock
  descriptions is accuracy to within X seconds per
  X time frame, or accuracy to within 1/10 second
  every 7 days.

• These are just a few specifications, are listed
  very often and seem to be competitive. There are
  also a number of other watch characteristics that
  are almost all purely subjective, such as style,
  size, band type, and color. Recently, it seems
  that brighter shades are better than blacks. (It
  seems to have changed when the uniform service
  was changed from a forest camouflage uniform to a
  desert color mix)In todays world, watches,
  whether flashlights or smartphones, are becoming
  increasingly versatile, not only to show
  connectivity to other devices, but also to
  enhance the convenience of the wearer. However,
  watches are no longer primarily watches, but
  remote control hubs for many other things that
  can be inconvenient for the wearer. In addition,
  there seems to be a direct correlation between
  how much time a watch displays (other than
  displaying time) and how robust (or not) a watch
  is. The more it is, the less robust it is.
• Think a bit about what your watch really needs
  and how rugged the package will be for those
  needs. The watch tells you first and foremost
  that you need to display the time so that it can
  be displayed easily and easily. Digital watches
  can do this, but chronographs (watches with hands
  that point to hours and minutes) are usually more
  easily seen, depending on the lighting conditions
  and the lighting features built into the watch.

• For those working in harsh environments, the two
  most commonly needed information is temperature
  and direction of travel. Some watches do more
  than display temperatures related to weather
  conditions, but local temperatures are usually
  the most necessary information to survive.
  Humidity and wind speed may be good to know, but
  neither is obviously as important as temperature.
  It is important to present it in a simplicity of
  information delivery and a basic no-frills way.
• For decades, G-SHOCK is a name that has been
  esteemed for its rugged durability and
  reliability under adverse conditions. One of the
  new additions to the G-SHOCK line, the Master Of
  G GG-1000-1A3, provides all the properties and
  information expected from this respected line.
  The construction of the  casio GG-1000-1A3 is
  carefully designed to provide redundant
  protection for the case seal and promote
  long-term functioning of the button despite the
  acceptable environment for debris and
  watches.The GG-1000-1A3 line has four different
  color combinations to easily display time, date,
  day of the week, compass direction, and
  temperature. Bright hands and markers also have
  LED backlights to improve visibility. The
  GG-1000-1A3 series continues to build a
  reputation for reliability and robustness that
  has made the G-SHOCK line very famous.
