About this deal

An array of sensors operate an on-watch compass, altitude/barometer temperature gauge and accelerometer that keeps track of step count and talk to a G-SHOCK Connected App that keeps a mission log, location indicator, auto altitude calibration and calories burned. I can imagine Royal Air Force personnel want to use a proper stopwatch and have readable access to Zulu (GMT) time at the least. In addition, the watch's color scheme is inspired by the Eurofighter Typhoon, whose design was deliberately developed to be difficult to recognize in the sky. The watch we’re reviewing here is one of G-Shock’s latest creations and is a very good example of the G-Shock evolution.

Well I’ve never had to bring so many negative points about a watch in my reviews, while liking it so much. Bringing this Casio G-Shock GPW-1000RAF as a professional Royal Air Force instrument is absolutely ridiculous. For example, the three knobs on the right side of the watch are arranged to resemble a helicopter control stick, while at the same time allowing an easy operation. The Royal Air Force x G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER’s bezel is made up of three layers of resin with carbon fiber inserts, with the top layer being semi-transparent to reveal the carbon material inside. There’s a little booklet that comes with the watch, however I prefer to download the PDF-file which is easier to read.The words "PER ARDUA AD ASTRA," Latin for "Beyond Adversity to the Stars" and the motto of the RAF, are printed on the band along with the RAF logo which creates a special look and compliments the overall theme. Hand Shift Function: With a push of a button, hands move away from the LCD to permit free visibility. Carbon core guard, mixed positioning of metal and resin buttons, awesome white accents on buttons and sensors, wonderful luminosity resembling the cockpit of Eurofighter, countless features (quad sensor with step tracker, bluetooth.

As part of the inspection, the seller must provide proof of ownership in the form of two pictures of the watch set to specific times. Those quote high capacity cells will not last you the official listed two years of life, if you use the watch as intended.When starting the timer, again through the top-right pusher, the large second hand starts quickly rotating counter clock-wise towards the set time. This collaboration between the RAF and G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER results in an exciting new model for those looking for a high-performance timepiece.

This is a special collaboration model between the RAF, who face the toughest of missions in skies across the globe, and G-Shock Gravitymaster, which supports pilots' every need with the most advanced watch features. At 11 there’s an even smaller third sub-register which I didn’t mention before as it didn’t do anything with the watch’ other functions.Additionally, the stealth colorway is inspired by the Eurofighter Typhoon, designed to be difficult to distinguish in the sky during operations. Some small remarks from my side: the sub dial on the 11 position isn’t the zulu/ Utc time but the 24hr indicator for the home time. Setting the alarm on and off is done by the pusher at 4 which makes the large second hand point at a blue printed ‘on’ and ‘off’ in the watch’ bezel.

Very strange that everyone seems to have it except me though : D Despite owning 2 of teh gret beasts…. As a special release, it’ll also come with an RAF-themed box with the same motto printed on the inside of the display box where the large logo sits.
