Casio G-8900

The Casio G-8900 is noted for its large, grippy buttons and a build quality that some find superior to the 6900, featuring a thicker bezel with side screws and a metal ring for a premium look. Owners appreciate its cool module, numerous colorways, and useful features like dual timers and a 20-second alarm, with one owner reporting ten years of function without battery replacement. The watch is considered an underrated tool watch and a good, simple, entry-level G-Shock with an old-school style and good price. However, some find the Casio G-8900 wears large due to its size and stiff lugs, and its dimensions are larger than more common G-Shock models, with some finding it very large for wrists under 7.5 inches. It is also noted that the G-8900 and GLS-8900 differ in rated battery life despite using the same battery type. Overall, owners rate the Casio G-8900 highly for its robust build and useful features at an accessible price point, despite its substantial size.
