Casio G-Shock GA110RG Review & Complete Guide
The Casio G-Shock is unarguably one of the most iconic and well-known watches in the world.

These watches are built to last and have proven to be able to withstand virtually anything.
And because of the huge popularity of the G-Shock, Casio has released countless iterations and variations over the years.

It is tough, sporty, and built to last. But as a nice detail, this watch has been styled with copper/rose gold accents.

Casio G-Shock GA110RG case
The watch is – like most other G-shocks – presented with a sporty and bulky black case made in resin.
Resin is the material of choice for most G-shocks because of its robust nature. Not only does this material increase the watch’s resistance to shocks, but it also resists scratches very well, meaning it will keep looking great for a long time to come even if it acquires scratches over time. Furthermore, the watch is magnetic resistant, which is also helped by the resin case.
If you are familiar with G-Shocks, the actual design of the case is nothing new. It has a rather bulky design and a resin bezel with text on it and protectors around it.
Of course, it doesn’t come as a surprise that this watch is large and bulky. With that said, it is mostly suitable for men with medium to large wrists. The watch has a diameter of 55mm, a lug-to-lug of 51.2mm, and a thickness of 17.4mm. Therefore, there’s no getting around the fact that it is big.
Being a sports and tool watch, it of course also needs good water resistance, and this is exactly what this watch has. It offers a water resistance of 200m/660 feet which in practice means that it can withstand virtually any water activity such as swimming and diving.
G-Shock GA110RG functions and dial
A nice detail about this watch is that it blends its sportiness with elegant rose gold accents. Whilst the G-Shock is indeed a very sporty watch, the rose gold accents tone it down a bit and make it slightly more elegant and classy. With that said, it becomes something more than just a tool.
Casio has put some attention to the dial design as well and tried to make it more interesting and appealing. And frankly, they have actually succeeded rather well!
The dial is split into different sections where the screens, analog clock, and sub-dials each create depth and makes it easy to distinguish each
For improved legibility, this watch is of course also equipped with a LED light with afterglow like most G-Shocks in order to help with legibility in low-lit conditions.
The fact that this is an analog watch with hours and minutes hands helps make the watch more versatile rather than fully digital, so this is a nice feature. The hour hands have a rose gold color, are pointy, and have round cutouts in them.
At 12 and 6 o’clock, it has LCD digital displays that provide tons of information. It also has a sub-dial at 9 o’clock, apart from the standard analog hour and minute display.
On top of the case, it has a mineral glass. This isn’t as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal, but at the same time, it doesn’t shatter the same way as sapphire does.
Despite the fact that this watch has an analog display apart from the digital display, it is a quartz watch and thus powered by a quartz movement. Specifically the Module 5146. The watch has a power reserve, or more correctly, battery life, of approximately 2 years. The accuracy is however really great, at +- 15 seconds per month.
Of course, this watch is packed with functions. G-Shock should. It has a countdown timer, and the ability to measure elapsed time, lap time, and split time. It also has 5 daily alarms, one of which is a snooze alarm.
It displays in 12/24-hour format and has a full auto-calendar to the year 2099. This watch is also equipped with the ability to display the time in multiple zones (29) and 48 cities. It also has a city-coordinated universal time.
The second stopwatch measures down to 1/1000-second and has a measuring capacity of 99:59’59.999’’.
All of these functions can be truly helpful and are part of the reason why the G-shocks are so popular.
Strap
The watch is presented on a resin strap which matches the case perfectly. The resin strap is good because of its water-resistant properties but also because it is sporty and will hold up extremely well to anything you may subject it to.
