DW-6900X-8BT
It is a vintage piece from the X-TREME line up that came in a titanium or metallic liked finishing for the bezel and band adapter. It is very very cool color way. Not so much for the module though but what else could we expect from a TWENTY YEARS OLD time piece anyway.
After owning this piece, I sorta like fell in love with the color way and I realize that I haven't covered much on grey color G-Shock before as well. One of the reason is of course Casio haven't releasing much model on this color way. Well at least that what the model number told us. Most of dark colored G-Shock watches aren't always black, they're mode towards dark grey side than full black.
We did got a few ones that is actually in grey color way but those are considerably old today and hard to come by at low price. To make it easy for me and for you guys, I'll pick DARK color G-Shock watches instead! 😀
My pick at ANY PRICE POINT G-Shock watches at no order
1.
GRAVITYMASTER
This would be easiest one to get on the market since it is fairly new and in a so called basic color way. Most basic color piece like this will always be on the market for years to come. This is a great piece for those who just love analog type model. I know there some of you who just didn't like digital for some reason. I like both by the way.
The main big feature of this piece is its three way type time synchronization and BLUETOOTH capabilities that allow users to store their travel log aka FLIGHT LOG to their smart phone. All basic complications for a G-Shock still included in this piece including the SOLAR Charging and Tough Movement structure. A tough and also rugged looking smartwatch with solar charging built in it. Yes PLEASE.
This will retails around 1000USD but you can grab this way cheaper from some online sites if you're lucky. Here is a PURCHASE LINK if you're interested.
2.
FROGMAN
This is another awesome looking piece if you're a serious G-Shock watch enthusiast and costs is no issue. This option is almost similar as the gravitymaster except it is a fully DIGITAL watch instead. Being in the DIVER watch category, you guys might had seen this coming as well into this list. I had to add this here due the tough and very rugged looking G-Shock as well. Despite being in a totally different category when compare to the gravitmaster, Casio still able to design this in a way that made it scream 'I am a G-Shock'.
There are no gimmick when we are talking about G-Shock Frogman except for that two silver screw thingy on the right side of the bezel case. I still can't figure out its function other that to add more tough looking appearance onto the model. Besides, Casio tend to maintain their originality when designing their Frogman line. Those decorative screw had been there since the first Frogman released back in 1993. This very model however has far more advance function when compare to other Frogman of course.
It comes with three built in sensor, to measure TEMPERATURE, Diving DEPTH and also magnetic COMPASS. It come with an automatic dive timer, surface timer and alos dive log as well. All of which is need for casual dive. This is not a dive computer by the way, just a dive timer. A very tough DIVE TIMER that also have solar charging and 200m water resistance. Some says it could withstand up to 1000m water resistance as well.
This model will retail about 1000USD as well but some online site could gave you way better offer of course. Here is you PURCHASE LINK as well. I got you covered. 😄
3.
MUDMASTER
The MUDMASTER is the best of both world. It is an analog-digital type of watch. I would originally goes with the Quad sensor Gulfmaster but that might sound a little biased and I can't find any that is dark grey. Most are just literally black for now at least.
The main big feature for a triple sensor Mudmaster is the overall built in mud resistance and also module protection. All of the button have like 4 O-Ring to block out any form of liquid at all from entering into the watch and hence the 'mud-resist' feature. This guy also comes with a more practical sensor function in it as well which is Thermometer sensor, Barometric sensor and Magnetic compass sensor. All of which is the most lovable feature among G-Shock watch fans.
I find the Barometer very handy in my daily lifestyle by the way. I use it to predict upcoming weather in my area before I proceed with work. I work outside in an open area which is totally expose to bad weather situation. You might find different use for all those amazing complications that his model has.
This guy is pretty pricy as well but pretty low when compared to the other model on this list which is about 800USD, Here is a PURCHASE LINK as well at a lower price of course if you're interested in getting one.
NOW we are done with all the big guys, lets have a look on a few model that is cheaper yet still comes with a great feature while at the same time loos or scream G-Shock to anyone who sees it. I'll set the price point for these as low as about 100USD only. Check these fellas out
1.
MUDMAN Military Style
We just jumped from 800USD Mudmaster to less than a hundred bucks Mudman. Yes, they are from the same mud-resistance family. This is one of the early version for a mudman, it is all in digital a lot smaller in size. I used to own one of this before as well but in a different color way and a way more limited edition version of this. For a regular beater watch, this would do just fine.
This is the closest model that we could get that is dark grey and look very tactical and tough as well. There a bunch more colorway that looks more vibrant or blacker than this but those are pretty limited and hard to get these day. This is one of the most famous model that costs less than a hundred on the market as well. The fir for this piece is pretty good for my skinny wrist so I bet it'll fit you nicely as well however the only issue I got when handling this model is the button. If you look close enough to the photo, you'll that resin button on both sides, these resin parts act a protector for the actual button inside the watch and also to prevent any type liquid or tiny dust from entering inside the watch hence the 'MUD-RESISTANT'. It is a clever idea but this end up resulting in a hard-to-press or operates button sometimes. You'll understand what I mean if you get one. If you don't mind with this issue, this model is definitely a great piece to have for all the functions that this could offer you.
The big features for this model when compare to other model however besides the mud-resist built it the dual-illumination type back-lighting. What this does that it allow user to see the LCD display and at the same time view the information on the face plate as well.
I could explain a lot more but lets save it for later surprise after you got one. This is the PURCHASE LINK of you're interested, get one quick!
2.
DIGITAL SNIPER
I made that name on my own. This model aren't very popular on the market somehow despite being very tactical looking watch. Don't let that fools you though since this is I believe one of the most practical piece that one could get for cheap and get most use of. It didn't have a lot of complications but the one it have is just enough for daily basis such as the quick timer access, the only model that I know of today that have a similar feature as this is the GA-400 series model. Way bigger size than this.
The main big feature for this very model is that it has VIBRATION ALERT which no other model have. If having a DUAL-EL backlight and auto-light feature still aren't enough to alert you, the vibration feature definitely would. This guy could act a good alarm clock as well and having since the setting could be customize, one could turn off the beeping sound & the flash and just leave the vibration to ON for a more stealthy vibes.
There a few more colorway of this but this guy actually in grey colored and not dark grey as other model on this list. I'll leave the rest for you to experience on your own. Here is the PURCHASE LINK if you're interested in getting one.

BIG CASE MILITARY
I just have to add an analog & digital model as well on the list and this is the only model that I could below one hundred bucks. Some would hate the blue hand on the face plate and the reason I still add this on the list is that it is on grey colorway. You do have other option as this GA-100 which in a full black colorway. way better looking in my opinion but just to stick with this DARK GREY theme list, I decided to add this guy instead. I use to own one of this before but with a PINK hands instead! 😄
Anyway, this big case model is one of the most popular model that is out there as well if you haven't realize it yet. I did consider the GA-110BBN model but that would costs more than a hundred and eventhough the AW-591BB and GA-700 is also seems like a good at this price point but I'm not big fan of the AW while the GA700 didn't feels tough or as secure as this GA-100 series.
The retail for this type of model is pretty affordable I believe and they are all easy to get at most watch stores. Here is the PURCHASE LINK as well if you would like to support me.
This conclude this article about some of my pick on dark colored or grey g-shock watches of my favorite.
Thanks for visiting!!😀😀😀
