I got the black version of this with golden rings and red texts instead of orange. It's been my primary watch for pretty much a decade now, still working fine and dandy, lots of fine scars on the glass by now but it's still clear. The case's silver gray finish has decayed on the edges, revealing the light grey resin. The original strap snapped after 2 years, I do live in a hot and wet climate though so it's acceptable, the replacement band I got is even more lighter and thinner but it remain durable to this day. I must say, this watch is so light and comfortable that I some times left home thinking I'm already wearing it or in some other times, forgot that I'm wearing it.
It is £19.99 (As of 22nd Feb 2023) ..These cheap and cheerful watches are designed to be used and worn... If you get a year out of it for this price so be it... Just bin it and buy another one after a year or so if it looks tatty. Or you could try this ... How to Clean Rubber or Silicone Watch Band: Put a few drops of dish soap into the bowl of warm water. Dip the cloth in the soapy water and use it to wipe down your watch band. If that doesn't totally clean it, remove the band from your watch, put it in the water, and submerge it for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step. Remove the band from the soapy water and lay it on the cloth. Use the toothbrush to scrub the band, using a soft, circular scrubbing motion. Your watch band has been good to you, so no need to punish it with overly-aggressive scrubbing. Address any stubborn spots or stains with a little bit of baking soda. Sprinkle it on your band or toothbrush and give the affected areas another once over with the brush. Note: Don't use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on your band. It's overkill and can damage the material. Rinse off any remaining soap and/or baking soda and dry your band with a cotton or microfiber cloth. Make sure your band is completely dry before wearing it again, or you might invite odors onto your strap. If this does not work... Just buy a new watch...These Casio watches are cheap enough ..Try a Casio with a black colored wristband.. These hide stains and scuffs well. Kind regards Brian

I collect watches and I have this little gem of a watch in my collection ..
For £19.99 GBP these are superb value for money
Great value but orange resin strap stains with daily use and nothing gets it off.

Agreed , I picked one up used for £5 ! Put a new strap on for £10 😂
This catches my eyes, almost looked dw6900 ish. A good choice for a budget g-shock- ish watch.
Totally agree with you and it is super easy to wear on a daily basis.

I also thought it was a DW6900 at first glance. But hey, it can be the perfect alternative for the actual G-Shock.
The Casio B640W is a better alternative to that watch in the video.
Something looks off about that watch ... display looks a bit crooked to me.
