Purchased as a replacement for the GA-700 which was found to have moisture, the well-known issue with G-Shock. It is considerably smaller but more convenient, in my opinion, in the hand. Its strap is much more comfortable than that of the GA-700 and, most importantly, due to its two-tone design, the hands are easily readable. Additionally, the backlight has significantly better performance, although it still falls short. As for performance, there is no discussion, it is waterproof and sturdy for agricultural work, chainsaw use, etc. Excellent. For the price it was purchased, under €100, I consider it an excellent choice for everyday use, if one likes it aesthetically.
