Many people use their mobile phones these days to keep track of time. One argument in favor of phones is that they many apps that you can download as needed. But they aren\u2019t always high quality and are often inconvenient to access since they are all over the place. This watch, the Casio G-Shock Chronograph Alarm, contains just about every feature you could ever ask for in a watch \u2014 all in one convenient place on your wrist. It has:<\/p>\n
\n- an LED illuminating face<\/li>\n
- ability to switch between times of major global cities<\/li>\n
- a velocity indicator to track your travel speed<\/li>\n
- a stopwatch and timer<\/li>\n
- space for 5 separate alarms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
On top of those great features, the build quality is really top notch for this price level. The Chronograph is water resistant to up to 200 meter, which makes it a great watch for divers and swimmers. In addition, it features shock resistance to ensure that it lasts for as long as possible.<\/p>\n
Compared to the other watches in this guide, the G-Shock is a big watch, with a thickness of just under 17mm (for reference, the Seiko 5 is 12 mm thick). While it\u2019s not the most elegant watch, it does have a cool<\/i> look, almost as if it could be a watch for a spy. Like most Casio watches, the Chronograph is very robust and stands up to wear and tear like a champ.<\/p>\nRotary Gents Vintage<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"Rotary\"](\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/product2657-0-3410_cropped.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWho it\u2019s for<\/strong>: Someone seeking a classic, elegant watch for everyday use.<\/p>\nPrice<\/strong>: \u00a380<\/p>\nType<\/strong>: Quartz Battery<\/p>\nOptions<\/strong>: Can also be found with a gold vintage case<\/a>.<\/p>\nDoes this watch look familiar? That might be because it appeared on the wrist of Benedict Cumberbatch on BBC Sherlock! Besides that, let\u2019s go over the other great reasons why this watch was included in this buying guide.<\/p>\n
From an aesthetics point of view, this watch is brilliant. It has white steel plating, mineral crystal glass, and a traditional easy-to-read face. If you\u2019re looking for a simple watch that isn\u2019t very flashy, this is your answer.<\/p>\n
If you have a minute, take a look at some of the higher-end vintage watches. The Rotary Gents Vintage watch looks very similar, at a much smaller price tag.<\/p>\n
One somewhat surprising feature of this watch is that it is water resistant to up to 100 meters. While it\u2019s not exactly a typical swimming watch, it\u2019s nice to have the assurance that it will be fine if it does get a bit wet.<\/p>\n
Rotary is an extremely established watch manufacturing company that was started in 1895. They first became widely known in the 1940\u2019s when Rotary became the official British Army watch supplier. Rotary is unique in that it is hugely popular in Britain, but not so much in North America or around the world. They typically stick to the basics of watchmaking and do them well.<\/p>\n
