In my past few videos lots of guys said they owned the G-Shock GA100 and the backlight stinks. Ok. Let’s try it out!
Sure enough, that one amber LED at the 6 o’clock position lights up the analog hands well enough, but forget about reading the LCD subdials! Those are as dark as the black watch dial.
I still like this big, basic watch. So check out the G-Shock GA100-1A1. (affiliate link)
Dennis sent me a picture of his G-Shock King, the GX56TU-1A8. This large and in charge watch has a positive LCD display and a tactical coyote brown band. When it came out, I made a video telling everyone to pick one up because they would sell out. They sold out! Denis was smart enough to …
Since the Real Ideal Livestream was on Saturday morning, that made me think of Saturday morning cartoons and nostalgia. How much of our watch purchases are triggered by details that induce nostalgia?
I went to Amazon, typed in “G-Shock,” then sorted by Best Sellers. The G-Shock GA100-1A1 was at the top of the list. As a disclaimer, I should note that I don’t have exact sales data, and rankings change on Amazon. But when I looked, this black Ani-Digi was selling a lot of units, and I had to know why!
Citizen released two new Nighthawk watches you can get on their website. One of them has a steel bracelet, the other a nylon strap. These aviation themed watches are fully analog with Eco-drive technology. One thing they don’t have is a lot of color.
One photo is all we have of a new G-Shock GD-350 and Great G-Shock World leaked it. This is great news to my viewers who love the rugged, vibration alarm equipped, legible, working man’s G-Shock watch. This particular model number is the G-Shock GD-350S-1. Great G-Shock World says it’s supposed to drop in August. Stay tuned as we find out more about it!
G-Shock coated their newest G-Steel watches with black IP to create the City Light Fusion series. There’s two of them, the GSTB1000BD-1A, which has a black dial, and the GSTB1000BD-2A, with a blue dial.
Klarus sent me their E8 flashlight for review! My first impression was that the size is great for stashing away in a pocket. Its frame is aluminum and it has IPX6 water resistance making it a good choice for extreme environments, weather that’s work or play.
Plus, the head rotates allowing the front facing light to point sideways. Combine that with a super strong clip on the other side and we’re talking about a light that I can clip to my lapel and illuminate what’s in front of me!

I joined Tim Johnson on the Real Ideal Gear Youtube channel for a live stream in which we talked about Casio watches!
