This is the watch to get. I just returned the GD100 due to poor visibility of the digital numerals (although I really liked the way the piece looked overall). The slight drawback here with this DW6900 is that its

smaller in size but its far more visible in terms of the numbers on the screen. I was reading various reviews and options on all these different G' Shock models etc etc and what I realized is that ultimately I just needed a basic, visible, functioning digital watch and this is what this is. This is a nice looking watch to along with the classic casio rivetted band. The glow-light is perfect. One feature that is really sweet is that when you have the 'stop watch' going the regular time is still displayed right above it...

The alarm is standard. I recommend this watch to anybody that wants a tough, basic, reliable watch. This is the Toyota Tacoma of digital watches.

My favorite G-Shock

For me, this is the best G-Shock ever made, and I have owned many, including G-Shocks that cost several times as much money. The simplicity of operation and essential functions are what always brings me back to this watch. It is my go to for the gym or any activity where I worry about my mechanical piece. There is a reason this was trusted by navy seals and other military units for so long. If you are having a tough time deciding between this one and the DW9052 know that the strap on the 6900 is actually molded to the shape of a human wrist. Straps like the one on the DW9052 are just a straight strap, and will always feel either too tight or too loose.

I also prefer this watch to the solar versions because this watch continues to show the current time while in stopwatch mode. That is essential. The buttons on this one are also SO much easier to press than the 5600 ones, and it is very easy to find the light button at night. If I could only have one g-shock, it would be this.
