This is definitely one of the best Casio G-Shock made to-date, especially for an all analog display G-Shock. I am going into all the detail of techology that is put into this watch, I will just do the review from a user point of view.

What I like about it:
 + Looks good, without the dial being too cluttered
 + the lume is useable after a few hours in the dark (haven't done a 6 to 8 hours test yet, but the time was viewable after 4 hours)
 + good feature list for all analog (flyback chronograph + countdown timer + alarm + world time)
 + comfortable strap with metal strap retainer. And the tail of the long end of the strap is *short* enough for smaller wrist size
 + big watch but still manageable for smaller wrist size, partly due to hinge at the lugs so that the strap rotates and wraps around the wrist nicely
 + smart access does allow the hour and minute hands to move independent of each other for quicker access to different features
 + buttons are big and easy to use
 + the crystal seems to be of better quality than your usual G-Shocks. Its domed and very clear (maybe there is anti-reflective coating?).

What I don't like about it:
 - Not as affordable as some of the lower-end G-Shock (not quite *beater* prices)
 - the mode button is plastic (which have been nice if its in metal to match with the rest of the buttons)
 - the hour hand is tied to the 24hr dial at 12 o'clock, which limits how fast the hour hand can get to the correct position and limits the chronograph to just 120 min max.
 - wished Casio either disengage the hour and 24hr hand or let the chronograph to run at 1 second increment so that you can a 24hr chronograph (and CDT). That would have been awesome
 - still no "battery guage". The only way I can tell if the batter power is low is the slow ticking of the second hand. I would prefer if the watch can tell me the battery level in H-M-L ...
 - though the metal strap retainer should outlast the strap itself, it keeps sliding towards the buckle. It would have been nice if the retainer actually stay in place to keep the long tail of the strap tucked in

This is not *my* perfect all analog G-Shock (I don't think there is one yet), but this is a very admirable try from Casio and I really like it.
