Casio G-Shock Men's Watch G-9100-1ER

Product Information

I live in the Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater area of Florida, otherwise simply known as Tampa Bay Florida. The gulf near me is the Gulf of Mexico. The timepiece features Multiband 6, which automatically adjusts time settings based on reception of Casio's radio towers located in Japan, China, United States, England, and Germany. So you don't need to get into the hustle of setting the time manually. Aside from the really weird sizing issue, here's my take on the features of the G9100 and whether they're actually usable or not. You pay most for: Tough Solar, Triple Sensor (includes: Altimeter, Digital Compass, Barometer, Thermometer), Moon Data, Tide Graph, Tough Movement, Smart Access Electronic Crown.

Signals are received during the night to keep the displayed time exact. — Reception is possible with less than normal power consumption. Totally worthless on the G9100 for one reason. You can hardly read it. The tide graph can be read just fine, but the moon phase is itty-bitty and sunken down to the point where it's almost illegible. Tough Solar, Multiband 6, Auto Hand Home Position Correction and Hybrid Mount Construction. These four technologies combine in a radio-controlled, solar-powered analogue movement that elevates the reliability of solar-powered, radio-controlled analog watches to new heights.You pay for: 200-meter water resistance, Tough Solar, Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6, Smart Access, Tough Movement, Quad Sensor, Digital compass, Thermometer, Barometer, Altimeter, Moon data, Tide graph, Sunrise, sunset time display, Depth Meter Casio has provided all the information on the dial itself, making it easy to access the watch features without any struggle. But even after inputting the proper settings, the information the watch gives is just so-so at best. The time zone feature that can display one of 29 different zones (from 48 cities) is a take-it-or-leave-it feature. It's not much better than a dual time feature. In fact, it pretty much acts the same. Verdict

You pay most for: Twin Sensor (includes: Thermometer, Digital Compass), Tide Graph and Moon Data, World time, Stopwatch, Alarm, Timer. Some specifications (price, material, weight, Neobrite, etc.) for individual models may vary within a series. Some models listed may not be available in all countries.Big, easy to press, and designed in a way that they don't get pressed accidentally. This is one of the good things about the G9100. The manual does list the settings to use for most areas. But for Florida, it only lists Miami. That's worthless to me since I live in Tampa Bay which is clear across the other side of the state. This means I had to manually figure out the longitude and lunitidal interval figures myself.

You pay for: 200-meter water resistance, Hourly Time Signal, Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6, Moon data, Tide graph, Tough Solar None-Stop – A solar panel converts even weak illumination from fluorescent lighting into electric power. A rechargeable battery with a large power storage capacity supports stable operation of various functions with high electricity consumption. You never have to worry about the battery running down because it’s a solar battery. Casio watches with solar technology, receive thermal and electrical energy that recharges the watch batteries through solar panels on the face of the watch. Even though I was worried that the Gulfman would have the same smallness issue that the Mudman did, I bought it anyway.The large buttons on the case makes it easy to operate the watch even if you are wearing gloves. This makes it a perfect companion for those who are frequent travellers to hills and seek adventure. The big dial can be a problem for people with thin wrists. The LED light intensity is quite dim and the watch does not offer sunrise, sunset or moon information. Besides, the price is a little steep. Verdict The watch's dial is illuminated by a LED light and is protected by a sapphire crystal, which as per Casio cannot be scratched. It also ensures high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable. During my usage, I did not struggle to read the information on dial, however the intensity of the light is quite low. It is not even able to light up half of the dial, which is a bit low-down. The lower-left button on the left opens the list of the features on the watch's LED strip, which you can access or customize with the help of upper-left button. The list of features includes timer, stopwatch, alarm, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc. The thermometer can give readings in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
