My Favourite Watch
Watch: Casio GBD-200UU-1ER (Black)
Strap: Archer Black Canvas
This is my 3rd Casio purchase and to date it is my favourite all rounder which has seen the most time on my wrist!
Now i know it sits quite big on my smaller wrists which is something I just have to get over 😆, but it does everything I need it to do!
There are a couple flaws and a few features I wish it had but overall it is action packed and has one of the most legible displays I've ever seen!
I work as a field engineer and often do on call (nights) and having to wear gloves the auto-light feature is a god send when needing to be hands free. The only gripe I have with this is the fact you need to turn the feature on every 6 hours or so.
The stopwatch also sees alot of activity, that is what it is and not much else to say on that!
The other feature that gets used the most is the workout interval timer in tandem with the recently discovered vibration setting. I do daily stretching usually before bed and have managed to program in the exact timers I need for my full set of stretches. I have also turned the timer beep to vibration so that if I get home late from work, my partner doesn't hear the little beeps going off.
To perfect this watch I personally would like to see this module shrunk down a touch and put into a 5600/5610. Tough solar and Multi band would also be a great addition as well as scrapping the Bluetooth features.
What's your thoughts on this watch?
What modifications/changes have you made?
Which features do you use the most?
Very interested to hear what you have to say!
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
I am a big fan of G Shocks. I normally don't like the negative display just for visibility but the GBD200 MIP display is so much clearer than a normal negative display. I might have to get one of these too because I always have room for another G Shock 😀

I wholeheartedly recommend this, the battery life is a bit of a let down at 1-2 years however I'd call it a basic smart watch and that's a heck of alot better than charging it every day!
