20 Best Digital Watch For Military (2023 Updated)

I had never been a big fan of digital watches nor of Casio because I thought that they were cheap disposable watches and I always opted for rugged automatic divers watches that could take a lot of punishment.

Then recently, my youngest soon decided he was going into the military after High school so I bought him a “cheap, disposable” and supposedly rugged G-Shock and was impressed with the quality of it. The Tough Solar option means that he will probably not have to change out the battery for a long time and the Atomic Multiband 6 means that, as long as it can receive a signal it will tell the correct time.

Along with all of the other features it should stand up nicely for a long time. As far as being stylish, there are a lot of options for customizing the watch for ones personal tastes. Being able to swap out the bezel for a different color, adding bull bars and swapping out the strap for something different are options.

Swapping the strap isn’t easy because of Casio’s choice to go with a 16mm lug width to fit their proprietary watch bands means you will have to buy a set of adapters, check out jaysandkays for those.

All in all I am pleased with the purchase of this watch.

this is my first casio g-shock. I have a couple of rolex models but felt I needed another watch piece. I looked at several g shock models before deciding on the gw-9400. it is a lot of watch , loads of features which im still trying to learn how to get the most out of it.

ut looks rugged, and the time is easily read. so, so far so good – 2 weeks in to it. the band is comfortable , the watch face is clear. I think it is a good watch piece. oct/ 2021.

The watch looks sharp and durable. It has many extra features & capabilities (Temp/Barometer/Altimeter, etc. ). This is the second Casio watch I ordered for my son who is serving in the military. The first one was a Casio Pro Tek, and I returned it because when the light button was pressed, it was such uneven light-much lighter on one side than the other.

I was very, very disappointed to find the same to be true with this watch, as it is a more expensive G-Shock model. Unfortunately, this is a company/multiple product flaw in my opinion. For a $300 (regular retail price) watch, the light should be an even, pleasant glow.

Many $10 watches have much better “light up” appearances than these upper end Casios. In addition, the negative contrast (black background and light numbers on the display, is quite small and somewhat difficult to read compared to other products with this feature.

With that said, it still does look rather impressive overall.

Much as expected – well made and comfortable. Stays fully charged even though it is winter and I am indoors a lot of the time. Picks up the time signal reliably. The buttons are heavily recessed but one quickly gets used to them.

The only real fault is the lack of volume of the alarm. I can just about hear it if I am using the timer but there is no way it would wake me up. It is baffling why a watch with the macho name of “G-Shock” should whisper so self-effacingly.

Apart from this it is a great watch and should “see me out” (I am 75).

These really are great watches. Bought three of them, one for myself and two for family as gifts, and they are just so good at what they do – telling the time, robust, shock proof and fully water proof with auto updates and world wide time zone settings, and solar powered too, so no battery to worry about.

Has sensible features, stop watch, count down timer and five alarm settings, great facial display and amazing back light that puts some light sabres to shame. I always wanted one when they first came out in the 80’s – so feel i have waited long enough a time – lol, very stylish and a timeless classic that looks good and goes with anything anywhere.

Casio really do make good watches, much better in my opinion, than the more expensive fashion high end brands, in fact I think they are the kings of time. buy one, wear it, use and enjoy it forever, you wont go wrong with a Casio watch.

This watch is awesome. It’s practically zero maintenance, it’s the most accurate watch out there and it is classic. I can’t say it’s indestructible because I have broken one of these watches after performing a ‘sales pitch’ bit by spiking it into concrete as hard as I could.

That being said, I spiked it three times consecutively and I didn’t think it would break, because I had done that very same thing probably a dozen times before. So, it’s durable. Very durable. If you need a watch that is almost life proof, this is the watch.

Lightweight, rugged, classy, easy to manipulate, easy to wear, easy to read, accurate, utilitarian and very well made.

I love G Shock watches and this one is an inexpensive classic. Love the electroluminescent backlighting. Very reminiscent of early Gs. Accurate and virtually indestructible. Just a great tough watch.

I’m crazy about the G-Shock #MudMaster, but the right one coasts too much for plastic watch. This one has the most important travel features: it looks chunky and great (Bear Grylls great), it’s resistant to water (200m) and to almost anything your hands are resistant to.

Also it shows time, and is easily switchable to another timezone. Never needs another battery if you show it some sun. The “Blackout Look” is a very nifty touch, but sometimes makes it hard to see the time right away: need to find the right angle.

bit it’s a keeper!.

I bought this full well knowing it was for men so I wasn’t suprised that it was bulky however, I really wished they had a variety of colors other than just green. I orginally bought this for my mom who is in the military and needs a good sports watch so I was hoping to find a blue.

I guess she will have to settle with green. Seems easy to use, nice design and LED light works awesome.

I needed a watch that was very easy to read day or night and had an alarm for my medication. This couldn’t have been better. Don’t see how you can get all of this for the under $13. 00 price. Even if you don’t need one buy it ! Great Product.

Exactly…what I expected! This watch is stylish,comfortable fit and the large,display makes it easy to read without straining,one’s eye’s. PERFECT for the price.

Honestly, that watch is of really low quality. I had to send it back after just 5 days of use due to horribly creaking/squeaking belt/band with every movement of my arm. On top of that the hours hand was not evenly covered with the fluorescent coating indicating low standards of quality control.

That tripple sensor is a joke as well. Due to its position it will never show accurate temperature, and the altimeter since it’s linked to the atmospheric pressure will give you unreliable results which even for that same location will change withing few hours.

If you need to calibrate that every time then what’s the point? It’s over two weeks since I sent it back to the retailer (who subsequently sent it to Casio for assesment) and I’m still waiting for any updates.

Not something you’d expect from a watch of this price tag (£699), which pretends to be a quality/tough piece. Shame on you.

I love this watch. It is one of my favorites. It is a metal Gshock for everyone. Typically Gshocks are huge and unwieldy. This is one of the smallest and thinnest Gshocks out there but it retains the technical look that made Gshocks famous.

Even better it is made of lots of metal parts mixed with carbon-resin material to keep it softer on the wrist while retaining shock absorption properties. It has solar, Bluetooth sync (for accurate time and semi-smart functions), dual time zone, alarms, etc.

What else do you need in a watch? One minor con: the metal indexes are blackened so it’s a bit hard to see them. It completes the look. I wish they lumed the white paint. That would make this watch perfect.

This is a good-looking and robust watch, but it is not perfect. One of the reasons I chose an analogue watch was due to failing eyesight, but there are issues with the lack of contrast with the hands on this model.

In low light conditions, the watch can be difficult to read. In darkness, it is also problematic to use the light because it causes the 6 numeral to glow so bright that it is impossible to see the hands.

The world time abbreviations are impossible to read and should have been backed up by the abbreviations appearing on the digital display, something that would have been easily achieved. £699 is a lot of money that is hard to read and essentially needs more development.

I may have chosen a different watch with the benefit of hindsight. If I could, I would change out the hands for a more contrasting colour.

My husband has this watch and he loves Casio so I can leave a pretty accurate review of this Casio Men’s AQS800WD-1EV Slim Solar Multi-Function Analog-Digital Watch. This watch is great. product and price! The silver color allowed my husband to wear it with suits to the office without looking awkward as when wearing typical black sports watches.

This Casio is a lot lighter in weight than it appears, a trait that he personally likes but others won’t. It keeps good time and the solar (light) power feature continues to work fine. He has worn it regularly in the shower, in pools and the ocean and have not experienced any problems with leakage or fogging that other reviews have reported.

Great job Casio, another winner!.

Overall i am satisfied with the watch. I am a major supporter of the G-shock brand given my day to day activities and the durability of their brand. However, i was not completely satisfied with this particular model for 2 reasons.

The band and casing has a glossy tint and extremely light-weight feel to it, both of which discourages rugged use. It is more of a casual dress occasion which is not what i entirely purchased it for.

Secondly, the display is very dim and a little hard to read without holding it at the right angle. But overall, it is a good watch to order if you have a specific type of attire in mind but not for everyday use.

The promotional ‘Photos’ and ‘Videos’ make this watch look great, but in reality its poor. Its so difficult to read the time because the hands of the watch just blend into the background, its almost impossible to read the digital displays.

Personally, I’m disappointed with this watch, and would not recommend it. In truth I wish I’d gone for a refund. Delivery from Watch Shop was really quick. Cheers Bernie.

everything electronic fissile and Dies if kept on my person for long. mechanical watches magnetize. Next up every Digital watch I ever tried to use died in under a week. Till my brother bought a G-Shock watch back in 1992.

was too big for his wrist so he gave it to me. what the Heck looked nice and Fit my large Frame well. thought I would get maybe a week of a cool stylish watch. then a month went by. then two then a year 4 years later the Band finally failed.

And I am rough an things as well. gotten real good at replacing my own cell phone glasses usually 4 or more every year before they stop working right. To get 4 years out of a watch. This is a very durable highly accurate digital watch that looks good on my Rugged outdoor woodsman frame and constant active lifestyle This is my 6th watch in 19 years.

loved every G-shock with the exception of the metal one. It died Quickly. stay with the plastic. water proof up to 40 feet tested. don’t really dive deeper than that.

I’m buying two more, I bought two of these watches as gifts in 2019 and have not had any complaints, and they do wear them. My daughter loves it, its rugged enough for hiking, plus the water resistance feature.

So please don’t pay attention to the customer who rather buy a Mickey Mouse watch, Its 2021, hopefully Santa brought him something he likes.

Because this watch was also made as a military, special ops, covert ops, etc. type of watch. That’s why it’s mostly all subdued, except for the hands. For cover and concealment, light discipline, black out ops, or any other mission or assignment where you don’t wanna wear a watch that will reflect light , or give off any type of glow.

It’s not because the engineers mistakenly didn’t design the display or indicating functions too dark; it was design this way or purpose. It’s a perfect watch for this, and also for any person who wants a tough, tactical, rugged, badass, yet inexpensive watch made for everyone.

If you’re concern is too read the functions easy, then there are many other series for that. I just wanted to comment because after reading about 20 comments, half were complaints only about the watch being a little difficult to read.

Shake it off fellas, and buy a bright Micky Mouse watch if you want an easy to read one. This is for the person that is used to difficult situations; and in the case of military ops, being difficult to read could (and probably has before) save lives.

Army retired.

The yellow is pretty much the yellow of Lego. It matches my Jeep. Corvette, Porsche and Ferrari use a similar color. Ford’s yellow is a tad more orange. It’s dandelion yellow, not banana. I don’t get the reviews complaining of a misleading color.

It’s spot on in the pictures. The watch itself is cool. The speed hand at 12 o’clock is of dubious value but maybe I’m not timing many aircraft, IDK. The reversed information windows are great in the bright sun but of little value in normal inside light.

Still, this watch is more style than practical unless you have a specific application. The lighted dial feature will show the time and is pretty nice in total darkness but you won’t get anything other than the analog time and a cool looking face with the light feature.

I was a little concerned when purchasing this watch. I didn’t want something that was dainty, nor did I want a watch that easily collected every smudge and piece of dirt possible, as well as the notorious back light issues.

When I got my watch it was packaged very well and the color is beautiful. The watch face isn’t difficult to read, even in the dark, at least for me. I am a little harder on my watches and this has performed really well.

The few smudges I have accumulated wiped right off. The only challenge I had was setting the time – it took a little bit to understand, as the manual isn’t the most helpful with this task. Luckily, Youtube solved my dilemma and I was able to get it set.

I particularly love the face color of this watch, the actual main reason I bought it.

Bought mine less than 24 hours ago and here are my initial impressions: The black screen is tough to see in low light, as many reviews have noted. There are contrast settings you can adjust to help improve this, but it has a good backlight.

Just push a button. In normal lighting it’s clear and readable. It’s packed with features that are very useful for the outdoors, especially hiking/trekking. I specifically wanted an ABC watch that didn’t require recharging and didn’t suffer battery drain from the active features, and would also provide storm warnings based on the barometric pressure.

I carry a Garmin handheld GPS when backpacking, so I wasn’t looking for more than what the Core offers. There are a bunch of really good YouTube instructional videos for the Core. I highly recommend checking them out.

The quick guide that comes with the watch is only just enough to get you going with the basics. This watch has been around for quite a while (a good sign) so there’s a lot of owners who’ve already done the work.

I find it to be super comfortable on my wrist. There are other straps to choose from on Suunto’s website if you don’t like the basic Core strap that comes with it. The replacements are pretty pricey, though.

firstly I’m not so sure about the product spec here is accurate when they state about the vibration resistance which i thought is only the mudmaster, plus I thought professional diving includes scuba which I don’t think this does.

Featured Victorinox INOX, G-Shock GPR-B1000-1ER Rangeman, G-Shock MRG-G2000CB-1ADR, Garmin Fenix 5x pro. This post is about the Rangeman, my review is if you want it for the tracking navigation ability you may end up being highly disappointed, its VERY sluggish and very basic, if you want it to be super tough I’d look rather at just a mudmaster.

My pros about the watch Large display on basic, I love when i happen to have my smart phone on me (which is rare) and navigation is on the rangeman that when I randomly took photos that they appear on the route that I was on, this was noticed when I checked the gshock app at my days activites (my Garmin Fenix 5x didn’t have that auto feature but can do it manually ) another pro it’s got sapphire glass (unlike the mudmaster GWG-1000-1A1ER) and GPS on the watch without using the smartphone.

It’s more than likely tougher than the Fenix 5x. and Solar power. However Cons. If I was in the middle of nowhere with a choice of watch that’s maybe the only place that the tracking feature and GPS would be of slight use as in better than nothing, its daft thinking would a smartphone be necessary? as I’d rather rely on the smartphone on its own.

The back-light is ridiculously dim. Scroll wheel doesn’t keep back-light on in dark too see what you are doing! (someone claims the sound off on Watch and it will do it, well it’s certainly isn’t doing it on my watch!) And you want to look on your past activities all it shows is a bunch of numbers on the watch and dates without you having a clear easy Image or login for you to press a past activity to do it again.

Feels like they just threw this concept together! I hope the watch can receive future software updates like the fenix 5x does, that way they can improve the watch and show respect to buyers by them not having to buy another newer improvement to the model Ceramic back will not take a bashing like steel back if the watch fell on say a rock from a height.

(my opinion) Not as good looking as the mudmaster. Cannot rival Fenix 5x pro let alone the 6xpro to get tout out of a crisis in middle of nowhere, you may actually get even more lost!. Do i regret buying it? nope as its more future proof than the mudmaster, and I never got it for reasons I have my fenix, i just got it as a gshock that will change times on its own as I change countries and for the large display and its better than nothing tracking.

I notice they use garmin for maps but its the most mediocre maps that garmin gave, not the highest end colour etc GPS ones All rounder the fenix 5x pro is the better watch in one. However a gshock is a G-Shock and they are my favourite brand 🤗.

I have 5 G Shock watches. This includes the old Frogman and the new analog one, and the old Rangeman (green with negative display) and this new one. I had concerns about the size of the new Rangeman, but it is the most comfortable of all 5 that I have, so it is the one I wear the most.

Fantastic watch, and the navigation system works perfectly. I used it on a route I was already familiar with, and it was spot on. It works like the old “pluggers” we used back in the 90s, so I had a basic understanding on how to use it.

Man, if I had such a watch in the 80s and 90s in The Republic of Panama!! Very durable, useful, and comfortable. It is large, but it is not heavy. Highly recommend. From what I hear, Casio has discontinued it, so it will be a collectors item in the future.

This stuff is awesome! The purple is quite dark which I like. They stay on and are waterproof. You really cannot go wrong with these. Dot of expensive but worth it!!!

I am totally pleased with it, it’s very black and stays like that, and very resistant to sweat and in water. Will buy it for sure again.

not very waterproof. love how dark it goes on but wish it stayed on

I own several G Shock watches and they hold up well to rigors of farm life. Accuracy is usually on par or better than a 6,000 to 10,000 chronometer. This particular model however has a very dark display (military).

I prefer a display I can read at a glance without any additional lighting. Therefore I moved Onward to G-Shock model GA-800. Has the water resistance by design of a Rolex Submarnier, luminous hands, analog and digital display, extremely accurate and even w/o the brilliant LED backlight, can be read at a glance.

I was worried about the size of the watch being overwhelming on my wrist but it fits great & is very light. great watch BUT you will have to get used to the “military” esthetic in that the light is minimal & can only be seen well in direct light The illumination button will light the watch up in a beautiful blue light last thing the buttons on this are really stiff & I assume that is to prevent them from being easily activated while in the field.

Leaving for basic training for the Navy in January, wanted a good durable watch. Purchased the G9000ms-1. Fits very comfortably, great price, and I like the way it looks. Tag that comes on it says $110 purchased for $70! Very satisfied.

Will purchase from again!.

I bought this watch to be a temporary replacement while my Oceanus is out of commission to have its crystal replaced. I needed a basic watch with easy to read numbers (so I can see without my glasses when I first wake up).

I am a night shift RN and constantly rely on the day/date display to keep me straight when the time rolls around after midnight. The light on this watch is bright and very easy to read the numbers. It’s lightweight and comfortable on my wrist.

I’ll keep it in my rotation even after my Oceanus comes home. I don’t know about longevity yet, but for the price, who cares? Great product!.

The watch is very smart looking and multifunctional. -Bit bigger and heavier than I expected. Good value for money though.

Nice watch for men , large screen facilitates ease to read time analog & or digital, and practical for day to day use

At first I was a little concerned with the amount of time it was taking to receive my watch, with the Covid-19 pandemic in full force around the world, however once it arrived I was completely impressed and surprised by the quality of the design and look of the watch! “Wow, very nice!” I said awesomely surprised.

Looks and feels like a very expensive designer watch. I love it! Thank you Inspirewatch. com, you came through with flying colors!.

Simply stated. I love it. It looks nice and works great. My friends were somewhat jealous, I could tell. But they were equally impressed also. Great product. I will be acquiring more pieces. AWESOME.

The watch is very nice and the company has great customer service. Why not a 5-star rating then? The only complaint I have is the time it takes to get the watch. I know a lot of it has to do with the COVID-19 pandemic and that it has done to shipping oversees, but it still took a little too long in my opinion.

I bought this watch because it had multi-alarms and a countdown timer. setting the alarms is fiddly due to the icons for the alarm settings (Top right-hand corner), being very small and thus hard to read.

IMO the Skmei 1381, which has the same funtionality, is easier to read and to setup.

Top draw, great product easy to use and transfer of videos is quick and simple. Didnt think this would be that great due to the price but because of the price I thought I would chance it, very pleased I did.

Why spend thousands when this little beauty is available.

Super nice watch. Sleek, minimal, expensive looking. I like this watch as much as much my expensive watches. Keeping perfect time for two weeks now. Skmei as a watch maker …..fantastic.

if you do not see too good this watch is for you. You can see the date and time clearly. and it has a night light which you can see at night. Good for everyday of the week. And the price is so expensive a very good price for a watch also it waterproof which was a extra.

you will be very please happy if you buy this watch.

This i dont recommend at all! It a really bad merchandise. Please if you are reading this take it in mind! The wax doesn’t peel off your skin because by the time you want to do that no matter how fast you can be it wont.

Instead it be a hard as a rock and no joke then as you are trying to peal it off it will break into pieces and it does not removes a single hair.

so small not worth the price. you really cant even notice this sign it looks more like a $tree item. i dont recommend it.

Ive been using this lens on and off for nearly a year (Ive occasionally broken it out at shoots, but its been far more of a hobby lens, usually on a Nikon D5600) and all I can say is. its okay. Its fine if youre looking for an emergency backup or something to play around with, but during shoots, itll be living in your bag (which shouldnt be shocking for a sub-$100 lens).

For the price, its really not bad. If you use AF, this lens is loud, a bit sluggish, and a little (for lack of a better word. ) dumb, and with anything but ideal lighting you wont see the crisp edges you expect from a higher-priced nifty-fifty.

That said, its fairly reliable, consistent, and durable. Overall, if you want a fun, cheap lens to play around with, or a backup you dont have to worry about, this lens is fine, but if youre looking for a go-to 50mm, this isnt it.

cute and perfect for my project-; typically make these myself out of soda cans but they can be time-consuming for my crafts; this was the perfect solution

They are cute I didn’t read if they were paper because they are. Also they don’t stick to the wall very long at all days top. I did clean the area of the wall first if course they just don’t stick long as cute as they are.

What a unique experience I’ve had with Timex. My original review was returned to me because they would not publish a negative review, so here is my attempt to “clean it up” while still being honest. I ordered this watch in November and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival for about a month now.

I am sure the watch is superIor in every way. I continue to wait for this wonderful product. I am not allowed to discuss customer service so will delete my previous comments. Sure hope I get this product before Christmas 2022.

Timex is unbelievable in their both their products and their commitment to their customers.

I have been a fan of the Ironman watches forever and was a little worried when I saw a new model coming out. When I saw a Navy version of the old Ironman I was thrilled to get my favorite watch of all time and give me a reminder of my younger days.

Same great watch, only better. Very simple mostly black watch and band. Same buttons and configuration of the Ironman. Love it!.

I’ve been looking for a G-Shock alternative for sometime and more recently for the black version of this watch. (In the UK we only have the gray/yellow or black/lime versions). I was pleased to find this version on sale and with an additional 30% discount code it was a relative bargain.

Shipping was very quick and arrived in 5 days. I like the packaging which appears to superior to the standard Timex box. Having worn G-Shocks for several years I was pleasantly surprised to see how small they are in comparison.

I also like how simple the display is, with the bulk of it dedicated to showing the time, rather than erroneous dials and displays that are too small to be relevant. I also like how intuitive the basic functions are, although one of my gripes is that a manual doesn’t appear to be available to discover more advanced functions and features.

My only other negative is that I can’t find a comfortable position on the band and perhaps a Fastwrap will be more suitable.

Was looking for a good, strong and nice watch for work. Mine is all solid black its so easy to use. Been buying watches from Amazon, but only lasted 1-2 months and fail apart. So far this one has been holding up and dependable.

Sometimes the strap is kind of annoying to set up around your wrist but I have read other reviews and other people have just swap it out. Light at night is good enough when I’m over the road. I have mine set up military time and have my alarm set up for my schedule.

Worth it.

Have owned several 5. 11 watches over the years and all are still working perfectly. This is a great watch and is no frills perfect. The display is not bright but visible in bright light. This is my first digital watch in quite some time.

I did swap out the band. It worked ok but was comfortable. Caught it on sale and happy with my purchase.

Easy enough to set, another review notwithstanding. So far, like a month in, the band has stood up to,uh, being worn, albeit more adjustable than the plastic ones. Ridiculous that I’m supposed to return it to the company to replace the battery.

Bet that ain’t gonna happen. Overpriced, for the money should have a solar recharge.
