I purchased this watch in February 2012 from the Casio website. It has never been opened and still runs perfectly. I have added a few other G’s to the collection since then, but this one is what truly made me fall in love with them. I still wear it at least a couple of times a week.

It likely needs a gasket service, but I’m keeping it away from water. I want to see how long it’ll last before the battery finally dies. Then I’ll give it a full service.

The durability and longevity if these without maintenance keep me coming back for more!

I’m confused by recent posts stating how poor the CX-90 Turbo S MPG is. Yes, this is not an economy car. Your average user is going to generally see MPG in the 20’s during the lifetime of their ownership. This includes me, who purchased the car because it’s a fun family car that I can open up on a solo drive every now and then. I am usually not babying the car and enjoy the fact that it has a turbocharged inline six.

That said when I’m not driving in sport mode to merge (or to simply hear the inline six) I’ve found myself getting great MPG. During a recent 2.5 hour highway trip in the summer heat with air blasting and a car full of people/cargo we got 27+ mpg (not pictured..should have had my wife take one). I also comfortably get 26+ mpg in suburban driving (I did get a photo of one time after checking).

I drive with I-Stop on all of the time. That means the engine shuts off at red lights and while coasting on highways where appropriate (on long stretches or when I’m coasting to the next highway exit).

Recently I wanted to see how good MPG could be on a recent highway drive. I drove slower than usual (basically right at the speed limit in the right lane), and kept I-Stop on. I was surprised to see a high of 33.7 MPG. Once again, not a typical day for me by any means, but I was impressed to see how good MPG could be.

I’m sure in a “hyper-milling” situation you could get much better MPGs, but in that case you should have bought another car!

I am interested to hear thoughts from other CX-90 owners. I am surprised to see how efficient the car can be when you’re essentially keeping the car out of boost. I wonder how many people use I-Stop because I am not sure these numbers would be achievable without it. Now I’m considering driving to my local city to see how it would look

My car is a 2025 Turbo S PP (12k miles) with all of the recalls performed. For what it’s worth, I also use top tier 93 octane fuel.

The MB6 and Tough Solar ones have traveled the world with me. I included close-ups as well. I can count on these watches to handle whatever life throws at them.

The GW4000D (purchased Feb 2012) in the top row is still on its original battery. These are incredible watches. I hope to have the others just as long.

Thanks for stopping by.

I don’t drink Coke, but a close relative who recently passed spent their entire career working for Coca-Cola. I bought this watch as a small tribute and a fun memento to remember them.
