Using the Stopwatch
The stopwatch measures elapsed time, split times, and two finishes.
– The measurement range of the stopwatch is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds. Elapsed time returns to zero automatically and timing continues from there when the maximum limit is reached.
Countdown Timer
The countdown timer can be set within a range of one minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero.
Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone
You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 31 time zones (48 cities) around the globe. The city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.

GA-900 Usage Patterns *what the watch is usually meant for
Enjoy our G-Shock GA-900 Watch Review
This GA-900A-1A9 model, like the entire GA-900 line, is of very high quality. The strap’s quality and the “serpentine” styling continued to impress me by the end of the review. The watch is not suitable for everyone, as the size is difficult to call compact, and the style is not designed for strict business meetings. But if your life, clothing style, profession allow, I see no reason not to enjoy the pleasant emotions of the industrial GA-900 for a very reasonable price. Read Full Review →

Official Casio Description. G-SHOCK announces a new lineup of heavy-duty model that is great for wear in tough environments and as street fashion items as well.
The industrial design motif of this model is created by a 10-sided bezel that resembles the shape of a nut. The bezel is secured by four screws for a tough and rugged look. Combination timekeeping is provided by analog hands along with a digital display for the ultimate in operational ease. The design of the hands and the graphic figures that appear in the digital readouts create a powerful face design that enhances readability. The band connection and all buttons have checkered surfaces that prevent slipping and contribute to operational efficiency.

Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GA-900!
*some images are about G-Shock 5000/5600 cases, but the technology, approaches, concepts and philosophy remains the same for the whole G-Shock Model Range
Hollow case structure. Based on a realization that “shocks are not transmitted inside a bouncing rubber ball,” the structure was designed to let the module float inside the case, relieving shocks transmitted from outside. Today, the module’s shock resistance is realized through further technical innovations. But the revolutionary tough structure that gave G-SHOCK its origin began here.
All-directional covering. If the watch is dropped, the protruding bezel fully enclosing it absorbs the shock, protecting the buttons directly connected to the module and alleviating shocks from all directions. The bezel also guards the surface of the crystal. The band is curved stiffly at the point of connection with the case, moreover, enabling it to serve as a shock absorber and prevent direct shocks to the back of the case.
Protective cushioning of key parts. The crystal oscillator and other critical parts inside the module are guarded individually by cushioning material. Any strong shock to the watch causes immediate distortion of the cushioning inside the module, preventing contact failure and malfunction.
Japan Quality. Constructed with genuine quality, CASIO products provide truly practicable applications in which functionality and beauty combine. The leading-edge LSI technologies and skilled craftsmanship that give life to CASIO watches exemplify the quality Japan boasts in the world marketplace.
For CASIO, “faith in manufacturing” refers to an inexorable advancement of digital technologies and an uncompromising commitment to fine craftsmanship. This faith engenders unparalleled performance that not only elevates CASIO watches as close as possible to perfection, but that actually changes their wearers’ lifestyles.
