While the watch casing is constructed of plastic, you won’t be able to tell it apart from metal until you actually grasp the watch in your hands. Only the rear cover, which fastens to the casing with four screws, is made of stainless steel. The watch’s stainless steel strap is also fairly pleasant to wear and simple to modify to any wrist thickness. The bracelet’s one minor drawback is that sometimes it may nip at the hair on your arm when you take it off your hand. Battery CR2016 – According to the maker, the clock may function for up to three years on a single battery.
Although the watch’s glass is likewise plastic, it is fairly hardy and resilient. Additionally, there are no scratches or chips in the chrome coating. You shouldn’t be concerned about false pushes since buttons are pushed rather tightly and are composed of metal.

The Master of G category is where the Best G-SHOCK Rangeman GW-9400 watch, which is even more protected than the standard G-Shock, belongs. The watch’s military appearance is obvious from the name, making it the ideal accessory for anybody who likes guns. They have no fear of recoil or any other challenging circumstances like filth, dust, wetness, etc.
Functionality: In 2013, the GW-9400 made its debut. When they combined the wide functionality of Casio ProTrek watches with the shock resistance of the G-SHOCK, they created quite a stir. The Triple Sensor, commonly known as the ABC (Altimater, Barometer, Compass), is the most crucial sensor. On the right side of the casing, there is a sizable button for starting. The altimeter, compass, and barometer are turned on with the first push; the compass and thermometer with the second.
The GW-9400 has all of the following features: an automatic calendar (date, day of the week, month, world time, additional 24-hour scale, time of sunrise and sunset), a stopwatch accurate to 0.001 seconds, a countdown timer, five alarm clocks (one of which has a snooze function), memory for 40 records, current time correction by radio signal, a Full Auto LED Super Illuminator (which turns on by the movement of the hand), and solar battery power (Tough Solar technology).
The watch is big (but not too so) and not at all hefty. The casing has a 53.5 mm diameter, an 18.2 mm thickness, and a 200-meter water resistance. The electrical module within the reinforced polyurethane housing is “suspended” on a set of shock absorbers. The mineral glass has extra protection since it is somewhat below the level of the casing. The buttons are made of metal and have grooves that prevent them from being accidentally pressed. One push of the bottom right button will start the stopwatch. There is a lot of information written on the steel rear cover. As usual, the plastic strap with carbon fibre inlays is ergonomic. The double-pin steel clasp reduces the possibility of unintentional loss.
MDV106
Positives
- Traditional style
- Water resistant to 20 bar or 200 metres
- Rotary bezel
- Cost
Negatives
- The absence of backliht
- Quite few features
The DURO series is known as the Marlin since it has a picture of this fish on the dial, a diver’s style, and an amazing 200 metres of water resistance.
Round hour markers, large hands, and nothing fancy are all elements of the Casio Dive Watch MDV-100 that are intended to make the dial simple to read underwater. When diving, the revolving bezel functions as a timer; by turning it to the correct mark, you may determine how long you have been submerged. The bezel’s serrated surface makes rotation simpler. Not only are they ideal for every kind of garment, but they are also ideal for simple domestic jobs that don’t require extreme precision.
Due to a light-accumulating coating, the hour markers and hands glow in the dark, which is a helpful addition considering the absence of dial lighting.
The MDV-106 does not have any other functions except the date window. This watch is so fantastic that even Bill Gates wears it on his wrist. It has a 3-year battery, mineral glass, a compact size [48 x 44 x 12 mm], and an astonishing 200-meter water resistance. $70 isn’t a lot of money for all that.

The watch’s dimensions (38.2 x 33.28.5 mm) and weight (21 grams) are so small that you hardly see them on your hand. The strap is nice to the touch, has excellent elasticity, and is quite comfortable; nevertheless, it does leave a mark on the hand, which rapidly goes away.
The watch is made of plastic, and even the glass is made of plastic. The strap is made of rubber, and only the rear cover is made of stainless steel and secured with four screws.
