Casio G-Shock GA-2100-1A1ER vs Casio MQ24 Series Analog Watch

Buy the G-Shock GA-2100 if you want one watch for rough use, swimming and timing things. It is a 45mm analog-digital with 200m water resistance, a stopwatch, timer, world time, alarms and a mineral crystal, and owners rate it highly for toughness and the thin octagonal case. The MQ24 is a plain 34mm time-only quartz watch with 3 ATM: light, small and simple, but it does nothing beyond telling time and should not be worn swimming. On build and features the G-Shock is clearly the stronger watch; the MQ24 wins only on size and simplicity.

• Choose the G-Shock GA-2100 if you want a durable everyday watch for sport, swimming and timing, and you don't mind a larger 45mm case.
• Choose the Casio MQ24 if you want a small, light, unisex time-only watch for office or casual wear and never need it in water beyond a splash.
