In order to compose [what we think] a statistically significant G-Shock Rating System, we needed to go deeper into technical specs and compare them within the relevant watch collection. In the G-Steel case, we took all G-Steel Ana-Digi (more functions) and Analog (less functions) series and started comparing details. We stick to the point you are to know our rating calculations methods since it is not a black box [like in most services & shops] and you may find new details about other watches. Hope you will like our tremendous job and will continue using our magazine in your current and future purchases 🙂

| GST-B300 | 380 | ★★ |
| GST-B200 | 370 | ★★★ |

*Although some watches may have the cheapest price, they may not get the highest rate because of poor functions rating.
