It's almost that time of the year again, where people are struggling to figure out what to buy for Christmas (whether for themselves, or their loved ones). This year, more than any other, stress is the last thing that should be on our minds. Just like Santa, I have two lists, and this first one is for the top 10 G-Shocks to give this Christmas. Ready? ho! Ho! HO!

ga-2000-5a

10) GA-2000-5A - This large watch comes with a Carbon Core Guard, that protects the face. The analogue hands and hour markers are extra thick, making them easy to read, and there's even a hand shift feature, if the hands are getting in the way of the digital display. Don't like the colour of the band? Simply unclip it, and put on a different one! This is Casio's first model with easily replaceable bands (no more need to fiddle with pliers and screwdrivers!

GW-B5600BC-1B

9) GWB5600BC-1B - Looking a lot like the classic G-5600E-1, this model is a much needed upgrade. Keeping the all digital display, which allows you to easily see the numbers day or night, the watch also connects to your phone via Bluetooth, so you can set the time, find your phone, and set any reminders. The band itself is a combination of steel and resin, making it much sturdier, and harder to damage.

ggb-100-1a9

8) GGB100-1A9 - a new version of the Casio Mudmaster series, this is a touch more expensive than the Economical GG-1000 series, but more affordable than the GWG1000. The first Mudmaster to include Bluetooth, the watch also comes with an altimiter. Best of all, when it's connected to your phone, you'll be able to keep track of where you are thanks to the GPS.

dw-9052gbx-1a9 (1)

7) DW9052GBX-1A9 - a visual upgrade for the DW9052 series, this is an affordable digital watch, that's very easy to read. Unlike many other G-Shocks on this list, this one is actually small enough for kids to wear, so it'll be a great Christmas present!

g-2900f-1v_l_1

6) G2900F-1V - This is another for kids and adults alike. With a circular screen, the time is even easier to see, and the screen isn't cluttered like the more advanced G-Shocks. It's got 200m water resistance, so you can go swimming with it, and even the rare eData Memory, letting you record internet access codes, or pin numbers, etc.

ga-700cm-8a

5) GA700CM-8A - Part of G-Shocks exercise watches, the GA700CM-8A is a camouflage watch that's easy to read, and perfect for all those fitness fanatics. It has a rare type of stopwatch that lets you input a target time, so when you're doing laps, you can try to beat your fastest time.

gw-9400-1_l

4) GW-9400-1 - The Rangeman is consistently one of the top watches bought, and it's easy to see why - It's solar powered, fully digital, has a compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer. A perfect gift for hikers. IT's also 200m water resistant, so you can go swimming with it. Lastly, if you're in China, Japan, Germany, UK or the USA, the watch will automatically adjust the time.

gmw-b5000d-1-1 (1)

3) GMWB5000D-1 - This 35th year Full Metal Bluetooth Limited Edition watch has absolutely shocked us with how popular it is. It's fully digital, solar powered, and Bluetooth enabled. That last part is really important because unlike the Rangeman (which can only automatically set the time in certain cities), you'll be able to automatically set your time just by connecting to your phone! And the solar power means you don't have to worry about changing the battery!

gwg1000-1a3

2) GWG1000-1A3 - The Mudmaster is one of the original Master of G watches. To be recognised as a Master of G, the watch needs to be the best in its class, and the GWG1000 series is definitely that! Even before taking into account that it's solar powered, durable, easy to read thanks to the analogue hands and markers being extra-large... It should actually be called Weathermaster, because it's resistant to all sorts of bad weather. Even if you're in bootcamp, crawling in the mud, the watch will not be affected.

ga100-1a4_xlarge

1) GA100-1A4 - The GA-100 series revolutionised the Analogue/Digital watch models, and while the 1A2 sometimes sells a bit more, my personal pick would be the 1A4. It's easy to read with a black on white display, and it includes the 1/1000-sec stopwatch, which can even accurately measure your speed! Plus it's resistant to magnetic waves, so you can take it anywhere!

That's almost all from me, but before I go, I thought I'd give you a gift for reading through all this. When you choose the watch (or watches) you're after, at the final checkout screen type the code BWOXTENDXX. This will give you $20 off each item in your cart (not just $20 off the total), and 3 years Extended Warranty!

Until Next Time - Ho Ho HO!
