Casio Men's G-Shock G9000-1 Sport Watch

One of the best classic g shock

This is what I like among the Gshock models, although this model has been an old one since 2007. The only con I know is the hardness of buttons which is a make a hack. I remove the outer bezel and let it boil for 30 minutes, and it is a success! almost 70% reduced stiffness of the buttons. Hoping that this will help others have their own one.

Great product

Ok

So far i love it. It can take some abuse and that's why I got it. Yes, the buttons are hard to press but unlike other watches, the buttons are hard to get dirt and mud into (hence the mud-proofness). Very happy with this watch edit: I'm adding something that I noticed last week (4 months after purchase): There's a tiny bit of condensation forming on the inside of the watch. I removed a star for that because this being a waterproof watch, it seems to me it should have been sealed in a dry environment to not trap humidity in there. So either it was not sealed right, or moisture found its way in. 2nd edit: I contacted support and I was informed that a little bit of condensation, that goes away after roughly half a minute is normal if going from dry to humid environment or very cold into hot (iirc). This may have been the case, as I was outside in minus 20 C and very dry and noticed it when I got back inside (warm and humid). It also didn't last long. So I will put back the star, and if it doesn't get worse and only occurs under those circumstances, will leave it at 5. 3rd edit: (1 year later) It got worse. I sent it in for repair, but they did nothing to it. It's actually pretty ridiculous. I was out in the cold last week, and the half that was at the edge of my jacket sleeve was completely covered in condensate, whereas the warmer part, was clear. I still get condensation when coming out of the shower. Terrible. I am pulling out two more stars. Otherwise the watch is still good and sturdy, but I wouldn't pay for another one. I'll try to get it replaced by my credit card's warranty extension. If they do, I'll update again. Ok, FINAL EDIT april 2017: Maybe it was a fluke, who knows, but i didn't throw it out and ended up having to change the battery on it. I won't get into the details here, but when I sent the watch to the repair center in ontario, they didn't even open the watch to attempt to repair it. I cleaned out the inside lid that had some material trapped in there preventing it from sealing properly, and my watch has been working PERFECTLY since I did that. No humidity and as sturdy as a Gshock should be.

I decided to check out this watch, after hearing great things about it, and I absolutely love it. The G9000 is a great watch. The size of the watch makes it perfect for all wrist sizes, despite the diameter of the watch being relatively big. It has your typical functions that you’d expect from a G-Shock, such as your alarms, timer, world time, and a stopwatch (two of them that can run concurrently). It has an electroluminescent backlight that lights up the entire screen, including the text on the dial as well. It’s a good looking watch. Really like the design of the backplate. The grooves on the back of the watch may cause discomfort for some, but I like the added space between my wrist and the backplate. 200 metres of water resistance is perfect as well. The biggest flaw of this watch is the volume of the alarms, but it’s still louder than the alarms of the GW-5000U/GW-M5610U. In addition, the buttons are bit hard to press. The watch has remained very accurate, only gaining about a second since getting it. Overall, this is a great watch that gets the job done, and is more than capable to withstand everyday life.

Simple, hardy & reliable - a bit like it's wearer :-)

Rugged look

Not a classic gshock size. Way much smaller design.
