I know. G-Shock is synonymous with tough wristwatches but if you are willing to explore, there are other options, and the Timex Command Shock 54 mm Resin Strap is one of them. Released in May 2020, this rugged watch is part of the Timex Command series, designed for durability and shock resistance, making it ideal for outdoor and adventure activities.
And mind you. It is not just tough; it looks the part too thanks to the chunky camo case with a matching olive green strap. Like the G-Shock Timex Command series is shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 100 meters.
It is powered by a quartz digital movement with a digital negative display that affords excellent legibility. The digital display is protected by an acrylic lens. But this rugged timepiece may not be for everyone.
It is fairly chunky. It has an enormous 54 mm case diameter and it is 16 mm thick. The shock resistance is not without proof; it has received ISO 1413 certification.
Other notables include a durable resin watch case, durable resin strap, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, built-in hydration alert, and Timex-developed INDIGLO light-up watch dial that lets you tell time in the dark at the push of a button.
The fact that Timex Command Shock 54 mm Resin Strap Wristwatch is still available today is a testament to how its design and technology have stood the test of time.
If you are sold, you may acquire it at half of its original price today for US$49.99 (U.P. US$99).
