I can't believe that this is not a g shock!  It is a complete G Shock homeage.  It feels like a g shock on my wrist.  But it is much more legible then a g, and I can count my laps with it in the pool.  I got it from Wally World for $35.  Yeah, a G shock might last longer, might have a mineral crystal instead of a plastic one, might look better longer.  Whatever.  I will wear this non G with pride, and I will be able to count my laps.  I wish that it would record more laps than 30, but it can count up to a hundred, and I only do 70-80.  I like the resin face plate.  200 M water resistant means I can push the buttons all that I want under water.  I always wanted the casio 3 eyed monster, but I hated all of the wasted real estate.  This way I get a similar-styled watch without the 3 useless eyes. I will still wear my dw5600, but I see this watch getting more wrist time for a while.  The illumination only lights up the numbers, which is kind of a bummer, but I can still see the watch at night.  The flip-light night mode doesn't work, big deal.  Band is a little stiff (kind of like g shocks) but it will loosen up after some more laps in the pool.  I still have to give it five stars for its price, legibility and added functionality over the casios.  I will wear it until it dies and then probably buy another one.  Timex watches usually look more beat up quicker than g shocks, but this one is black, so it might work out.
