Casio Illuminator G-Shock Shock Resistant Analog Digital GA-700CM-8A Men’s Watch

The express delivery arrived; Citywatches.ca the Canadian online watch store had kept their promise. In fact, this was a last-minute purchase I had decided on the spur of the moment – a Casio G-Shock wrist watch for my bike enthusiast boyfriend, Jeremy. He would be participating in a bike rally over the coming weekend and I intended the watch to be a part of his gear. I hadn’t anticipated such a quick delivery in these trying times of the pandemic.

On opening the package, at first glance, the Casio Illuminator G-Shock Shock Resistant Analog Digital GA-700CM-8A looks like a camouflaged tactical instrument. This was one huge watch; at 57mm case size, only tall and heavily built individuals could carry it off.  The Casio G-Shock GA-700CM-8A series is designed to be rugged and hard to put down.

Casio G-shock watches are intended to be the ultimate in tough watches. They can easily resist mechanical shocks and vibrations as well as survive in the toughest of conditions you could subject them to. In the looks department, this rugged and beefy watch grabs attention with its camouflage patterned case and matching resin strap. Although large, it felt lightweight when taken out of its box. Jeremy was super delighted with it.  A cool watch he said, perfect to pair with his biker outfit on Saturday.

He went on to check out the specifics and was pretty impressed, just like I was. The Casio G-Shock Illuminator GA-700CM-8A Men’s watch boasts of numerous features, ideal for someone with sporting interests. Jeremy particularly loved the hand shift feature where the watch hands move out of the way to display an unobstructed view of the dial. Another new twist in this Casio G-Shock model is the front button design that allows control of its Super Illuminator backlight.

In addition, the watch offers 200m water resistance, a super illuminator LED light with afterglow, world time in 31 time zones, 5 alarms, a stopwatch feature, countdown timer, auto calendar along with day and date display. The design of the resin strap is such that the buckle clasp is highly adjustable ensuring an extremely comfortable fit.

The grey and white-accented dial along with a similar black and grey camouflage pattern of the case and strap make it a perfect accessory to pair with any casual outdoor outfit. It would also work well as an everyday beater of a watch.   Jeremy found the Casio G-Shock GA-700CM-8A to be extremely comfortable and light. I thought this was a superb watch for a reasonable CDN$ 167. More timepieces, not only of the Casio brand, but other reputed brands as well can be found here: https://www.citywatches.ca .
