Casio G-SHOCK G-STEEL GST-B500vsFestina Multifunction F20445

Owners widely praise the Casio G-SHOCK G-STEEL GST-B500 for its thinner profile, with one reviewer noting it is 12.8mm thick, and its comfortable metal construction, with one owner specifically highlighting the smooth and comfortable metal strap. The watch is seen as a versatile option for a dressier G-Shock, offering G-Shock's signature toughness with a carbon-fiber reinforced core and stainless steel construction, solar charging, and 200m water resistance. However, some owners find the design less interesting than other G-Steel models, with a few noting a cheap feel to the bracelet and case integration, and one comparing its lightness to a toy. There is disagreement on the dial layout, with some finding it refined and reminiscent of the "CasiOak," while others feel it is too empty and clashes with the steel band. Some owners also miss features like atomic timekeeping and the center-mounted light button found on earlier G-Steels, and one owner wishes for a sapphire crystal.

Owners appreciate the Festina Multifunction F20445's design and value, with one owner noting it fits well despite its size. Some users desire metallic strap options, and one owner reports the watch's hands are noisy. Notifications on the watch do not display diacritics. Overall, owners rate the Festina Multifunction F20445 highly for its design and perceived value.
