Sharp Watch Shout Out: The Casio G-Shock for Imperial Storm Troopers

If anyone needs a break, it has to be the Imperial Storm Troopers from Star Wars. They are constantly getting blasted or cut up with light sabres. It's can't be an easy life. They probably don't even get paid enough to buy official Star Wars merchandise.  Fortunately, I found the perfect watch for them from Casio. It's the Casio G Shock in White (Model GA-700-7ACR).  This watch is a great gift idea for any Star Wars fan or winter warrior.

You can find this great looking watch here on Amazon. This watch is strongly made with 200 meters of water resistance and a shock proof movement.  The resin body of the watch is also shaped to protect the watch dial from impact. If you'd like to get this Casio G-Shock watch or study it further, you can find it here on Amazon.  If you are looking for a less expensive alternative, the Casio Tough Solar in white has the same Star Wars look for even less.  You can check out my post on it here.  These non-Star Wars Star Wars watches are a great buy.

Casio Watches for Imperial Storm Troopers

Today is the release date of a long anticipated movie -- Star Wars:  The Force Awakens.  The movie will re-unite the original Star Wars cast and has excited fans worldwide.  With Christmas just days away, the question has to be asked:  Do you have any Imperial Storm troopers on your Christmas list this year?  If so, these watches from Casio might make the perfect gift.  These are simply white Casio Tough Solar watches, but I think they capture the sheen and attitude of Star Wars imperial storm trooper armor perfectly.  I have the "jungle" version of the Casio Tough Solar have previously reviewed it.  As of 2024, if you'd like to get a Storm Trooper look at a decent price, you can find the Casio Men's AQ-S810WC-7AJH Analog-Digital Quartz White Watch on Amazon.  But, you'll never be able to say the name three times fast.

There is also a purely digital version for the high tech set.  Both of these watches look very cool.  Since they aren't actual Star Wars(tm) products, they also need to work first and foremost as watches.

These aren't expensive watches and you aren't paying a premium for Star Wars branding.  [As of 2024, you can find this Casio Tough Solar Digital watch on Amazon. The links in this article have been refreshed as of December 2024.]

Structure Ana-Digital Watch in White

I'm not a fan of white watch bands for men.  But, if I were, I'd definitely check out this ana-digital watch from Structure.  The white face and contrasting black bezel look cool and give this watch a very masculine look.  It's the kind of watch that looks like it would belong to some sort of snow mobile champion or Scandinavian commando.

All-White Mossimo Watch from Target.

I can't get into the all-white watch look at all.  To me, an all-white watch would make a guy look like Liberace.  Of course, if the guy had a piano and lots of diamonds, I guess an all-white watch could be an alright watch.  At any rate, here is an all-white watch from Mossimo.  In some ways, it looks like a very high end, ceramic, watch.  It's an interesting design alternative for only $20 at Target.

[Update:  Looking back from 2024, I can't believe that all-white watches are still a thing. Also, to be honest, the plastic white bezel looks a little cheap and cheesy. Target doesn't even sell watches anymore.]
