The Casio G-Shock GA-700-1BDR is a bold statement in tactical durability and modern functionality. Built around G-Shock's legendary shock-resistant construction, this all-black timepiece combines robust analog timekeeping with a crisp digital display, delivering dual-format readability in a case engineered to withstand the most demanding conditions. With its masculine 57.5mm profile, chunky resin bezel, and high-contrast white indices against the matte black dial, the GA-700-1BDR is designed for those who demand reliability without compromise.
At the heart of this watch lies Casio's quartz movement, powered by a long-life CR2016 battery offering approximately five years of operation. The analog-digital hybrid display provides instant access to both traditional timekeeping and advanced functions, while the Super Illuminator LED backlight ensures visibility in any lighting condition. The digital sub-dial displays day and date, with additional functions accessible via the intuitive four-button interface. Water-resistant to 200 metres, this G-Shock is equally at home in the boardroom or beneath the surf, making it an ideal companion for the modern South African adventurer.
As an authorised retailer of CASIO watches, Cassims & Co. is proud to offer the GA-700-1BDR with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support. The lightweight resin construction—just 69 grams on the wrist—belies the watch's formidable presence, while the textured strap ensures secure wear during high-impact activities. Every element, from the protective button guards to the reinforced case back, reflects G-Shock's uncompromising approach to functional design.

Q: How long does the battery last in the GA-700-1BDR?

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly using a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong magnetic fields, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested and gaskets inspected every two to three years, especially if you regularly use the watch for aquatic activities.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent resin discolouration or degradation.
- If the digital display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement—visit our servicing team for professional battery changes.
- Avoid impact to the crystal face, and if scratches occur on the mineral glass, consult our watchmakers for polishing or replacement options.
- The resin strap can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild detergent; ensure it is completely dry before wearing to prevent skin irritation.
