Summer has finally arrived. Naturally, Chronos readers will be wearing their watches to the beach. While your favorite expensive diver's watch is great, if you're planning on jumping and splashing around on the sand, a G-SHOCK is the way to go. So, we're introducing the Ref. GA-110AS-5A, a G-SHOCK that stands out on the beach. Its refreshing blue dial makes it the perfect summer watch. So, enjoy the summer sea with a G-SHOCK!
Recommended for active people! A summery G-SHOCK
As is common with G-SHOCK, this model is quite large in terms of specifications. At first glance, the 51.2mm diameter and 16.9mm thickness seem overwhelmingly large. But don't worry. When you actually wear it on your wrist, it fits surprisingly well. Even those with thin wrists will find it comfortable.
One of the reasons for this is its light weight. The case and strap are made from bio-based resin, and the overall weight is just 72g. It's large but not heavy. This balance is proof of the practicality that you'd expect from a G-SHOCK.
Two-tone summer colors reflecting the sand and sea
Quartz movement. Resin case (diameter 51.2mm, thickness 16.9mm). Water resistant to 20 ATM. Price: 16,500 yen (tax included).
The coloring of the Ref. GA-110AS-5A is inspired by the summer beach. The case and strap are a sandy beige, while the dial is a vibrant blue, reminiscent of the ocean. The dial has a subtle metallic sheen, creating a striking visual contrast with the case.
It is water resistant to 20 ATM, so it can be used near water without any problems. The pushers are well-made, and the operation functions are engraved on the case, making it easy to see and operate.
Packed with useful features for leisure
The Ref. GA-110AS-5A is packed with G-SHOCK-like features, including a world time function perfect for international travel, a 1/1000-second stopwatch, five alarms, and a snooze function, making it a versatile watch for both leisure and everyday use.
When you light up the LED, you'll feel the summer
The watch also features a unique combination of analog and digital displays, providing both visibility and functionality. However, to read the digital display in the dark, you need to activate the LED light using the button on the top right. This light is amber in color, reminiscent of a beach torch or campfire.
The only drawback is that light reflecting off the hands makes it difficult to read. This may be a concern for users who prioritize practicality, but it can also be said to be one of the charms of the watch in terms of creating a summer atmosphere.
Tough and reliable for your summer companion
The greatest appeal of the G-SHOCK is the peace of mind it gives you. It is resistant to water, sand, sweat, and other summer conditions, and its ease of use in any situation is a unique advantage of the G-SHOCK.
It's reasonably priced at 21,450 yen (tax included). Despite its many functions, it's less at risk of theft compared to luxury watches, making it easy to wear. The strap also fits snugly and is suitable for a variety of wrist sizes. The Ref. GA-110AS-5A is the ideal watch to be your ultimate companion for enjoying the summer to the fullest.
