I have long been a lover of watches particularly the G-shock line. Extremely durable functional and relatively inexpensive I have had a G-shock since the early 1990s and have never looked back. Recently Casio has elevated the watch to what I think may be among the "coolest tools" ever. My most recent G-Shock was the GW1200A as rugged as always but now with solar power and the "Wave Ceptor" atomic clock synchronization this dual display analog/digital watch represented the culmination of many years of striving for perfection.
I really liked the elegant metal band and the very sweet analog+digital display. But several of the pins had broken over the past few years and I began to crave something newer and more elegant still...
Enter the GS1100BR-1A. This is a magnificent watch in every regard.
Differences from the old GW1200A:
The Good:
-Even more elegant-looking pure analog display
-Very fancy mechanics given all things are done with the analog display
-Thinner and lighter than the GW1200A
-Still has almost all the features: Wave Ceptor Solar Power World Clock Stopwatch.
-Super handsome rose-gold highlights
The Bad:
-Back to a plastic band...
-Some shenanigans when switching modes due to the fancy pure analog display (you have to wait for awhile while it adjusts to the next time zone or alarm setting and you can't do anything while this happens)
-No countdown timer function
-Stopwatch is a little tough to read given the minutes are on one of the tiny hands
-No backlight (!)
Summary: A more elegant watch that aims to be something closer to a dress watch than the GW1200A the few compromises are welcome for an overall spectacular product that I highly recommend.
