Limited Edition Casio G-Shock GA-110HC-1A Review

     Welcome back to Tick n' Sip! Today, I will be reviewing the Casio G-Shock Limited Edition GA-110HC-1A. In light of the recent passing of the founder of Casio within the last month, Kazuo Kashio, I would like to review one of Casio's G-Shock watches to commemorate his work. 

                                     


     This oversized, hyper-colored, eye-catching watch is a beautifully unique addition to my collection. I acquired this watch back in 2014 at a local jewelry store when the watch caught my attention. I was not a particularly big fan of oversized watches, but this one definitely stood out to me. The watch itself measures at 51.2 mm wide and 16.8 mm thick. Even though the watch has large dimensions, it wears quite comfortably on my wrist.

     The Casio G-Shock GA-110HC-1A is built very ruggedly to withstand water up to 200 meters, shock, and just about anything else life throws at it. The case and strap of the watch are made out of a black resin and the watch sports a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. The heart of the watch features Casio's Calibre 5146, a Japanese quartz movement. The watch is unique in that it has an analog-digital movement that gives the watch some interesting features such as displaying hours, minutes, and seconds, having a day-date feature, GMT feature, and a second time zone. The watch also has a 1/1000th-second stopwatch, 5 daily alarms, a countdown timer, and an impressive 29 city world time.

Overall, I enjoy this watch very much. It is especially useful if you are looking for a reliable watch that can be used in a variety of situations, especially if you work in harsh conditions. The only downside I have found with this watch is that it is a little large to be a casual watch. It also has a tendency to get caught on sleeves and it is easier to bump it into things due to its large size. With that being said, I believe that for under $100 dollars, Casio makes a great watch that will serve you for years to come without disappointment.
