 Great watch! January 10, 2007

This is really a great watch. I am a firefighter and I need watches that can stand the toughest environments.....I always wear a G-Shock. Having already owned a G-Shock before buying this watch, I know this thing will last me a lifetime. A great thing about this particular watch is that not only does it have the durability of a genuine G-Shock, it also has great looks. I wear this watch on a nice outfit and people think I'm wearing a really expensive watch. Little do they know I only spent less than $100 on it.
Some of the other cool features of this watch are the auto time setting via the atomic clock and especially the solar power. All my life I dealt with watches that need a battery replacement, and after wearing a watch for a long time and the screws on the back cover become permanently attached to the case, battery replacement becomes a pain in the *$%! This watch on the other hand you never need to worry about batteries.....simply put it by the window sill when it says it needs charging.
Lastly, I love the light-up feature. No need to fumble with any buttons for the watch to light up to read time in the dark. The watch is smart enough to sense ambient light on its solar cells to know if the light-up feature needs to be activated. So if you are out in the sun and look at your watch, the light doesn't come on. And also, the great feature about the light is also that it never drains the battery. If you happen to drain the battery (which would like never happen unless you've been living in the dark for like a year), simply place the watch under a desk lamp or by the window during the day. The darn thing charges itself if you walk around without the front of the watch being covered.
I love this watch and have grown ever so confident in Casio and it's life of G-Shock watches. You can never go wrong with this watch!

this watch is full of easy to use features. first the solar charging, never a battery to change (works best in sunlight). on a full charge will go for over 9 months using little power. the atomic reception is best at night. set the watch in a window with little metal and no appliances around (or outside). You can do a manual receive, or let the watch do it on its own. it is factory set to receive at midnight, 2:00 am, 3:00, 4:00 am everyday. if the battery is too low the auto receive will turn off or you can turn it off yourself. the lights work very well and can be set to turn on when you turn your wrist (very cool). the only down side is the size of the lcd screen and the alarm only goes for 10 seconds. but if you are like me you buy this watch mostly for the analog part, and the accuracy (+or- 15 seconds a month without sycning with the atomic clock in colorado) and convenience of solar power.
I have pretty large wrists and this watch was actually on the smallest size still quite too large, so i removed two links and it fits perfectly (my wrists are 8" around)
the price is also excellent. Target was the only place I found this watch (besides here) and they sell it for $250.00. Amazon sells it for $64.00 (184 less than Target). this watch is also approved for diving at depths of up to 200M (650 feet) This watch is also built like a tank, and is therefore thick like a tank. but the engineers at casio did a good job making this watch look good
Cool!!! January 9, 2007

This is the best G-Shock I have owned. It looks sleek as well as casual. I had no trouble receiving the nightly signal (I live in Northern New Jersey). The solar power is an added bonus. A really good deal for the money.
WOW January 10, 2007

The watch was a great item. It's convenient as no setting or winding is involved and Casio's reputation as a watchmaker is of the highest repute.
