Casio G-Shock MT-G MTGB1000D-1A Watch Review: Metal With Modern Maturity
Today, I review the Casio G-Shock MT-G reference MTGB1000D-1A. Several years ago, the notion of reviewing a nearly $1,000 Casio G-Shock watch would be uncommon, to say the least. Myself and many other people grew up with Casio watches being class-leading timepieces at the most affordable price ranges.

As you can probably imagine, sapphire crystals are usually glued into place. This gives it a nice sealed look, but how strong is the bond? The Cameo uses a unique curved rectangular sapphire crystal (which I can imagine is expensive). Instead of gluing it to the dia
