G-Shock with easier to press buttons?

[drmemory]

A few months ago I purchased a DW6900-1V for my son, who just went into the military. Now that he's in basic training, he reports that the buttons on the watch are hard to push. This is a problem, as he needs to do a bunch of things using the timer function on the watch, which is hard to turn on and off.

Can anyone recommend another model I could get for him that would be easier to manipulate? As I understand it, the problem is a combination of the buttons being too stiff and possibly too small. "In-field" repair isn't an option; I'm looking for a an off-the-shelf solution, rather than the "G-Shock soup" procedure I've read about elsewhere.

I paid £47 for mine on a price match so shop around its sometimes referred to as the military and was worn in strike back tv series

the buttons are big and its very stealthy but looks great on the wrist

Good morning drmemory,

I would recommend the GW9400-1 (RANGEMAN). This watch would be a perfect fit for any soldier related task he may need to accomplish. He would have a compass, thermometer, altimeter, and barometer for all his needs. Let alone the sunrise sunset feature which would have been a God send when I was going through Basic Combat Training some 24 years ago. I retired after 21 years of proud service in the U. S. Army so I can relate to what your son is going through. May God bless him and all of your family always.

Most Sincerely,
BB72.
