Casio G-Force Series Watches

Available now, $99-$350

Casio released limited-edition, blacked-out versions of four of G-Shock models. They call them military inspired and each claims stealth, matte black cases & bands, including buttons finished in black IP (ion plating) and undecipherable model nomenclature. Models and details from Casio on each:

G-9000MS-1: the classic G-Shock Mudman is built to survive the most extreme environments. Features include a molded back cover and variable durometer urethane covered bezel and buttons to prevent foreign particles, such as mud, sand or oil from entering the watch or accumulating between the back case and wearer’s wrist. The Mudman features 200M water resistant, world time, dual auto EL backlight with afterglow, twin stopwatches, and count down timer. MSRP $110

DW-5600MS-1: Reminiscent of the original G-Shock, the DW5600MS-1 features include shock resistance, 200M water resistance, EL backlight with afterglow, multi-function alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, flash alert and 12/24 hour formats. MSRP $99

DW6900MS-1: Classic in form, yet modern in style, the DW-6900MS-1 features shock resistance, 200M water resistance, EL backlight with afterglow, multi-function alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, flash alert and 12/24 hour formats. MSRP $99

GW-200MS-1: The exclusivity of the G-Shock Frogman makes it the perfect addition to this covert series. As part of G-Shock’s Master of G series, the amphibious Frogman is the only model certified ISO200M water resistant. Visually stunning, yet stealth in its appearance, the Frogman GW200MS-1 utilizes Non-Stop Tough Solar Power housed within an asymmetrical titanium case design with a deep wave band. MSRP $350

The watch sports an acrylic window and a poly-carbonate case, which keeps the weight down and gave Highgear a few more bucks to add in the altimeter, barometer, digital compass, and thermometer. Specs after the break.
