In the Philippines, you can leave home under blazing sunshine and find yourself caught in a downpour before reaching your destination. For commuters, having everyday essentials that can keep up with those sudden changes matters.
And because a watch stays with you from the first ride of the morning to the trip home at night, features like water resistance, easy readability, illumination, and long battery life can make a difference. Here are five Casio G-SHOCK models that bring these practical details together with designs suited to different everyday styles.
These watches offer 200-meter water resistance and G-SHOCK’s signature shock-resistant construction, making them suited for unpredictable days. Practical features such as timers, world time, and LED illumination also make checking the time and staying on schedule easier.
The GA-140-1A1 (P8,860) is for those with a soft spot for retro style. The watch takes inspiration from the boomboxes and portable stereos of the ’80s and ’90s. Its oversized case and bold dial bring a nostalgic edge to everyday outfits.
The GA-700-1A (P7,920) takes a more commanding approach with its three-dimensional face, sculpted hands, and five-year battery. A front button provides quick access to illumination, which can be useful during evening trips.
For those who prefer less battery maintenance, the GA-010-1A (P7,770) and GD-010-1 (P7,960) feature 10-year batteries and bio-based resin construction. The former combines an analog-digital display with a textured dial, while the latter offers a large digital display designed for quick readability.
Meanwhile, the GA-100-1A1 (P8,870) delivers G-SHOCK’s classic rugged look, with four digital displays, aluminum hands, and high magnetic resistance to help protect against everyday electromagnetic interference.
These five models are available at CASIO and G-SHOCK stores nationwide and through the CASIO Philippines online store.
