# Casio G-Shock GA-110-1B Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Casio G-Shock GA-110-1B is a bold analog-digital tool watch in the iconic G-Shock lineup, characterized by its large asymmetrical black resin case, fixed resin bezel, and integrated digital display below the main analog dial, targeting active adventurers, extreme sports enthusiasts, and everyday tough guys who need unbreakable durability with features like world time and stopwatch, powered by a precise quartz Module 5601 offering about 2 years of battery life.

## Overall Watch Rating: 6.5/10.0

**Functions Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Loaded with five alarms, world time for 48 cities, 1/100-second stopwatch, and countdown timer, it outperforms many mid-tier multi-function watches like the Timex Ironman at a similar price.
**Versatility Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Excels across sports, adventure, and tool scenarios with 200m water resistance and shockproof construction, comparable to entry-level dive watches from Seiko but far more rugged.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Rooted in G-Shock's groundbreaking 1983 invention of shock resistance, it carries the legacy of durability that defines the category much like the original DW-5600.
**Dials & Design Metric (7.9/10.0)** - The striking asymmetrical case and legible ana-dig layout deliver aggressive G-Shock aesthetics on par with higher-end models from the brand's Core Guard series.
**Complications Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Offers practical complications like stopwatch and multiple alarms that match the utility of quartz chronographs from Citizen without the mechanical fragility.
**Movement Metric (5.8/10.0)** - The reliable quartz Module 5601 provides quartz accuracy and longevity similar to standard Casio modules but lacks the refinement of ETA quartz in premium brands.
**Brand Metric (5.4/10.0)** - Casio's G-Shock delivers consistent mid-tier toughness and value akin to Citizen's Promaster line, bolstered by massive enthusiast appeal.
**Material Metric (3.2/10.0)** - Resin construction with mineral crystal offers lightweight durability like other plastic sport watches but falls short of stainless steel cases in Omega's Seamaster.
**Rarity Metric (1.4/10.0)** - Mass-produced and widely available at under $150, it lacks the scarcity of limited-edition Seikos or microbrand runs.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.9

## WM Collector Grade: A+

## Performance Insights: Excels in functions, versatility, and history while materials and rarity are expected weaknesses for the category; tremendous value as it trades at a steep discount to its $820 implied price.

## TPS Interpretation: Outstanding Value: The watch punches way above its price with robust tool-watch capabilities and iconic toughness that rivals pricier competitors.
