Casio Men's G7900-1 G-Shock Rescue Digital Sport Watch

G-shock lovers will not be disappointed with this one. To set the record straight this watch is no bigger than any other G-Shock I have owned before....it's exactly the same size as my old 1289 and it does ride easy on your wrist with the unseen "wings" on each band end, as stated by another reviewer. The moon phase calibrates itself to your home sight data. The tides need to be figured out if you choose to do so. LOL when I saw the manual...it looked like one of those miniature bibles as it's in 5 languages. Before I settled on this model I actually got tired of looking at all the G-shocks available on Amazon. I just wanted a watch like my 1289, no frills, no fancy. This is exactly what I wanted and more as I like to be aware of what lunar phase I'm in. Solid construction, metal band fastener, easy to read, good illumination and G-Shock durability makes me very happy with this purchase. Update #1 > already gone up $20 since I ordered. Never far from the manual I am becoming more adept at using the features that I never bothered with before, like the stopwatch and timer. Now I find myself timing lots of stuff just to use it, and it is very easy the more you do it. Although I have no need for the tide feature I am trying to relate it to moon rise and set as I am an avid fisherman, so I am closely monitoring the relationship of the graph to peak feeding times. Hopefully I'll be able to make a correlation between the 2. BTW, the hardest part of the tide set up for me was determining my Lunitidal interval, mainly because I am in the upper midwest. There are literally hundreds of different high tide times but not many in CST, so I started with one from the Texas Gulf. Like I said, I'm just trying to make a connection between the tide graph on the dial and moon up, overhead and down. Still love this watch and glad I got it.

I have been wearing (and beating up) this watch for nearly a year. I love the other G-shocks that I have owned over the years; this one is as good as any of them. It hardly looks worn at all, even though I seldom ever remove it . . . swimming (ocean, too), showering, working, it stays on my wrist 24/7. The buttons are easier to press than my older, original G-shocks from the '80s. The high/low tide function is very useful while on vacation in Del Mar, CA to know how much beach we will have to set-up on at any given point during the day. I really do not know how to use the moon-phase function, but I find myself checking for a full moon when somebody does something stupid. The watch display is easy to read, even for my old eyes. The back light is bright and stays on long enough and makes the display very readable at night. I often use the light function to help me navigate to the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking my wife. The alarms are noticeable but not obnoxious. The band is very comfortable and really well made. The band has little 'flaps' that kind of raise the back of the watch and lift it from your wrist. This helps minimize sweating under the watch during workouts or on hot days. The watch is big, but I really do not even know I have it on. Very comfortable. This thing looks like it will last forever. But if it did ever fail, I would not hesitate to buy another one, same model, if I could find one.

This is my third G-Shock watch in the last 25 years. My first lasted over 15 years; my second (DW-6900), sadly, was lost on a recent trip to Canada. I almost got an exact replacement, but it occurred to me that this was an opportunity to upgrade to a G-Shock with more features, so I started looking at the new line. I considered the upgraded version of my old watch, dubbed the GW-6900, but it was a 4-6 week wait time thru Amazon, and I didn't want to be without a G-Shock on my wrist for that long :) I settled on the G-7900 as it had an interesting display layout -- not quite as symmetrical as the DW/GW-6900, but very readable -- important since I am now in my mid-40's, and I can't always locate my reading glasses! No atomic timekeeping or solar recharging, as on the GW-6900, but I realized that at this point, I don't really need those features. The G-7900 has a nice, beefy feel to it, and though I was a little dubious about the rubber "wings" attached to the strap, they actually make the watch more comfortable to wear by keeping it from moving around on my wrist. I also much prefer the G-7900's chunky rubberized buttons over the smaller round metallic buttons on my old watch. Another great feature of this watch is the ability to move forward and backward while setting time, alarms, etc. - my old watch would only allow forward movement through the settings, so if you missed the mark, you'd have to go all the way around to it again - seemingly a minor thing, but I did find it rather aggravating. The G-7900's moon phase feature is cool, but since I live in northern Texas, I doubt the tide feature will get used much :) About the only thing I can think of that could be considered a minus would be the backlighting; it's not as bright as the backlighting on my old watch. I will say, though, that the watch is readable in all but the lowest light, and in very dim settings, the backlight is quite adequate to illuminate the display. Maybe Casio implemented this dimmer lighting to save battery life? Overall, I have to say that I LOVE my new watch. If you're a G-Shock fan, I would suggest that you take a look at the G-7900; if you're not currently a G-Shock fan, check one out -- you, too, might find something new to love.

Me encantó el reloj. Es mi primer G-Shock y fue un regalo. Me gusta su función de marea y fase lunar

Dovevo fare un regalo, devo dire che è stato molto apprezzato per chi ama questa marca, molto bello come orologio

Bought it on sale is a big plus. You will never regret even buying it on it's original price because of it's quality and features.

This watch is awesome. The Tide and Moon functions are perfect and work well with the Latitude programming. Every function is accurate and the backlight is excellent as well.
