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.

Very nice gold accented watch with brown leather strap.Recieved it fast, price right and like the looks of it.
I wanted the most current technology, atomic timekeeping and solar power.I also wanted a solid stainless case that, with the solar feature, would never need to be opened to replace the battery and hence would keep its water resistence.It's not too heavy nor too big (I had three links removed, and I'm a big guy so the band is large enough).It is to-the-second accurate according to my atomic wall clocks and gets a signal update about every other night here in central Virginia.I put it on a bookcase next to my bed, don't need to stick it in a windowledge.This watch is a bit hard to read in bright light.The dial and numerals are polished and put off a lot of glare, but I have unconsciously learned not to look at it straight on, but from a slight angle and that solves the problem.I'm pleased with the quality and accuracy, and it wasn't as complex as I feared.Good, quality product.Dick Poole
It's not easy to find a Baby-G watch with a cloth band.This seller had exactly what I was looking for.They were great to work with--extremely prompt with e-mail confirmation.Shipping very fast.Would definitely do business with them again!
BEWARE! The description posted on this page IS NOT for a PRG 70T; there are about 10 features on this page that the PRG 70T simply does not have. The description here is for a PRG 80T a far superior and more expensive watch... very deceptive indeed!
A nice watch. They might have checked that the batteries were functional before sending it out, though.
Wow! If looks could kill! This watch is an eye catcher! The looks are only the beginning. Instead of your usual single clasp when securing it tight to your wrist? It's actually a double clasp! What you also don't see is two(2) stainless steal flat bars on each side of the inner band for an extra tight, but comfortable fit! The digital display is nice and bold and great looking with a nice aqua/teal backlight. It is water-tight and "G Shock" secured. "This stealth looking watch is not for everyone". Unless? You're willing to take on the mean look!
