Casio G271 G-Shock Analog-Digital Watch - For Men

I have been a fan of Casio GShock watches for a long time. And when time came I did not wait to buy one. G-Shock watches are built for the sole purpose of durability. They are very strong and abrasive resistant. For this particular model I will list out the Pros and cons Pros- 1. Being a G-Shock its built like a tank. I've been using this one for about 6 months and not a single superficial scratch. I am usually careless and do bump into walls and doors and rough places and sometimes scratch my watches. (My other watches do show some scratches/bruise marks where I've bumped them) 2. Nice dual feature. Has both analog and digital. The nifty thing about this is you dont have to set time for both analog and digital. Once you setup the digital time, by pressing a combination of buttons the analog time syncs itself to the digital one. Quite nifty and easy! 3. Good digital timekeeping features like world clock, snooze,alarms and timers laps/splits. Cons- 1. The amber back light is ineffective. Its not bright enough and actually is postioned near the 6 upwards. So lights up only the bottom part. Even cheaper watches have better backlight. 2. Poor night visibility. Only the digits have radium and not the hands. I was dissapointed when I found out. Its tough to figure out the red and black hands in poor light conditions. 3. The digital can only be read clearly when looked directly from the top. any angular views suffer from visiblity. Its common to all digital watches, but I feel this one is not up to the mark. G-Shock fans will love this watch. Its really cool looking and really gels with any dress code( apart from formal obviously). Also G-Shock watches still fall into the premium price range. If it could get 2k-3k cheaper it would have been awesome and more mainstream. It deserves a 4/5. and though its not my daily watch but I regularly wear it. GO BUY THE WATCH,HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

this watch is really a beast of a watch !!! looks awesome on the hand ! Pros: 1)Comfortable 2)Lightweight (considerin it looks very bulhy but it aint that way). 3)Nice intensity of the amber light. 4)Stopwatch is damn accurate. 5)World time. 6)Velocity indicator and all the features... Cons: 1)In dark places with the black dial it becomes difficult to see the digital section of the watch even with the light on!

I almost fell in love this watch after I saw it on Flipkart. I liked the design and the color combination. It is a very trendy looking watch. The photo is very bright on Flipkart, in actual the color is not loud. It is a very decent looking watch. I was amazed to see that this watch does not have knob for analog clock settings. To set the time on analog watch, we just have to set the digital watch. The analog hands rotate on their own and sync with the digital watch. Pros: 1. Very good looking ( as per my liking ) 2. It is very light. 3. As it is a G-shock, I am never worried when my two year old son wants to tinker with it. 4. Lot of features, like stop watch, count down, world clock,Alarm, hourly chime ( I like this the most, useful while in office, alerts you hourly) 5. The buttons are nicely protected , no chance of accidentally getting pressed in sleep. 6. The holes on the strap are the best, they placed very close good for minute adjustments and the strap will fit any wrist size. Cons: 1. If you have a small wrist, the watch will look very big on your hand. The diameter is 5.5 Centimeters. 2. The amber light is almost useless , LED is placed near the "6" hour position. It can hardly illuminate the whole watch. You can manage to see the analog hands though. In my opinion the amber light doesn't look good on a blue dial. Conclusion: Pros surpass the cons anytime. If you like to wear trendy watches. Go for it.
