The Casio DW-6900 is the G-Shock with three round indicators across its face and a big light button you can find without looking. Introduced in 1995, it has a chunky, almost cartoonish silhouette, but the attraction is practical too: a clear digital display, straightforward controls, and resin construction that takes knocks without making them an event.

For the familiar design with updated illumination, look for the DW-6900UB: it replaces the older electroluminescent backlight with an LED, while keeping the layout that makes a 6900 instantly recognizable. Earlier examples are worth seeking out if that soft electroluminescent glow is part of your affection for the watch. On an older one, pay particular attention to brittle or cracked resin around the bezel and strap attachments. Try the front light button and cycle through the modes; the three little circles should be working, not merely decorating the dial.

What owners love

It takes the knocks of daily wear without becoming something you have to baby. Owners often keep using the same one for years of work, swimming and outdoor chores.
The resin construction makes it lighter on the wrist than its chunky shape suggests. If the case fits your wrist, it is comfortable enough to wear all day.
The big front light button is easy to find in the dark without hunting along the sides of the case. It is a small detail that makes checking the time at night much easier.

Common Criticisms

The actual time display is fairly small for such a large watch. The three circles take up plenty of face space without adding much useful information for everyday wear.
The case sits tall and can catch on snug sleeves, while the recessed side buttons can be fiddly to press. The easy-to-use front light button does not make setting the time or operating the stopwatch equally effortless.
