Casio has been making watches for a long time, but one is more popular than the others -the G-Shock. What makes them so special? Well, as the name hints, these watches are tough and almost indestructible. They have been built for hard daily use and designed to handle a lot.

If you are having trouble choosing the best G-Shock for you though, as there are quite a large number to choose from, we have put together a list of our favorites.

The Best G-Shock Watch for Men

1
G-Shock Sport

g-shock sport

Although many G-Shock watches tend to be more expensive, this Sports watch from Casio is incredibly affordable. The great thing is that it is affordable without there being much of a compromise on the quality of the device. It still features 200 meters of water resistance and is still shock resistant like other G-Shocks.

This watch features a quartz movement and has a clear digital display and for low lighting conditions, it has G-Shock’s Afterglow backlight. Some customers have commented that the strap may be too small for larger wrists, but even that can easily be fixed as the straps are easily removed.

Key Features:

Multi-functional alarm and stopwatch

Water resistance of 200 metres and shock resistance

G-Shock GX-56BB Blackout Series Watch

g-shock gx-56bb blackout series watch

What’s in a name? A lot seems, as most G-Shock watches have something that set them apart from others in the long and illustrious family of timepieces. The GX-56BB Blackout series not the most expensive in a long run, but it’s not the cheapest either. This probably has something to do with the fact that it is solar-powered and features a new triple-layer structure for increased protection against damage.

Blackout is an apt name then because if you suffer a blackout and the lights are all out you will still be able to keep good time. In addition to the standard 200 meters worth of water resistance and shock resistance that feature in most G-Shock products, the GX-56BB is also resistant to magnetics.
