Casio G-Shock AWG-M100 In-depth Review

The Casio G-Shock AWG-M100 is available in several different versions. They all use the same module so they have the same functions and features. The only real differences between the various versions are their colors. In this video I show you five different variations of the AWG-M100 from my collection, along with a few illustrations from the Casio website showing additional versions.

The main features of these watches are "Tough Solar" automatic charging of the batteries and "Multiband 6" Atomic Timekeeping. So these watches are basically maintenance-free. They will run for many years without your having to worry about replacing batteries and you don't even have to set the time. Yes, the time sets automatically (even adjusting for Daylight Saving Time automatically) by receiving atomic time information from any of six different transmitters around the world. (Please note that the watch receives its time information from land-based transmitters and NOT from Global Positioning Satellites or GPS.)

Although some of the watches featured in this video were originally released a few years ago, I was able to purchase them all in brand new condition this year (2018). Prices ranged from about $75 for the less-popular colors to $150 for what might be considered the most attractive version.

Watches featured in this video include models AWG-M100A, AWG-M100SB, AWG-M100SBG, AWG-M100F, AWG-M100S, AWG-M100-1A, AWG-M100B-1A, AWG-M100SF-1A4 and AWG-M100SWB-7A. They all use Casio's Module 5230.
