This Casio G-Shock digital watch offers a stylishly rugged look, world-savvy features ideal for business or adventure, and a durable design. The watch's atomic timekeeping calibrates the displayed time with radio signals to ensure a high level of accuracy, and the tough solar power offers a battery life of approximately 11 months on full charge without further exposure to light. The watch is built with a round stainless steel bezel, stainless steel case, and a stylish stainless steel band with a fold-over push-button clasp. The digital window shows the time in a bold central display, with world time settings for up to 29 time zones (30 cities), daylight savings option, and a city code display. The digital window also conveniently shows the day of the week above and the month and date below, automatically pre-programmed through 2099. The battery power level and calibration signal reception are indicated on the sides. This watch also offers four daily alarms and one snooze alarm, a time recorder, a 1/100 second stopwatch function, and a handy automatic EL backlight with afterglow. Specially designed for shock resistance and water resistant up to 660 feet.

in the short time I have had this watch, I have become a full blown admirer of it.
It looks good, feels comfortable on and functions with precision.

Beautiful watch can be worn hiking, rafting, exercising (although a bit uncomfortable while running), scuba diving, skiing, or dressing up! This watch looks formal, but is very tough. I wear it everywhere while doing everything. I've dropped a hammer on it, I've scraped it up against wood and rocks. It's been buried in sand. There's nothing this watch can't handle - and I can't even see any scratches on it (i'm not kidding)! I've got 2 'nice' watches sitting at home which I broke (Swiss, Fossil) - one of them fell off the counter and the other just stopped working. This G-Shock looks the same as all watches, cost the same price (probably cheaper), and survives much more than those things ever could. Here are the features of the watch:
Atomic Clock setting: I never have to set the time. EVER. This atomic clock searches for a signal at the same time every day to ensure correct time setting - even knows when DST is on or off. There is even a signal indicator so that wherever you set it when you come home, you know it has a good (or bad) signal and will be able to set itself come sync time. You never have to set a THING!
Battery indicator: This thing relies on solar power. It sat in a dark gift box for 2 months and when I opened it the battery indicator was at medium. After setting it on a window sill for a day (in Michigan in DECEMBER, where days are only something like 8 hrs long), the battery was at full - and hasn't gone down to medium ever since.
Auto-off and Auto-light: When it's too dark for too long, the display actually turns off to conserve battery. When you press a button, it turns back on for a minute or so. It can also sense tilt, so when you bring the watch up to an angle to check the time, the light comes on automatically (feature can be turned on/off)! This is a great feature. Just the natural motion of you checking your watch makes the light go on. I always find myself tilting my watch up and seeing the indigo backlight come on while in the movie theater and then giggling - it's almost as if the watch is reading my mind by knowing that I want to see the time and it's dark! This feature is very smart, as it will actually NOT work when it's light out to conserve battery - another thing you never have to worry about!
Mode1 - time: your standard time display - hr/min/sec, date, day. You can choose between 12hr and 24hr time.
Mode2 - alternate time zone: useful if you travel a lot. It displays the alternate time zone in big numbers, and your default time zone is in small numbers at the bottom of the display - so you always know the time difference in case you want to call home!
Mode3 - Time record: I haven't found a use for this yet. At any time throughout the day, you can press the "time memo" button. This button records the current time/date down to the second and then stores it (in mode3). You can then switch to mode3 and review all your recorded times (up to 30 of them). I have not found a use for it yet. I guess if you wanted to keep track of when the sun sets every day or at what time you arrived to work - this would be a useful function for you.
Mode4 - alarms: this thing has 5 separate alarms! This is very useful to me, especially since I like to keep an eating schedule (if you've ever tried Eating for Life, then you know what I mean). There are alarms 1,2,3,4, and SNZ. The SNZ is my morning alarm clock. It goes off every 5 minutes for a duration of 30 minutes. You can press a button to "snooze" the timer (just like an alarm clock). Then the rest of the alarms are set for when I need to eat. It works perfectly if you need daily reminders for pills, injections, etc.
Mode5 - stopwatch: your standard stopwatch function. It can be stopped so you can write down a recorded time while the stopwatch is actually still operating, then once you recorded the time you can go back to the stopwatch and stop it again for record if you need to. The watch itself does not record these times, you would have to write it down. One feature I like is the fact it displays the current time on the bottom of the display so you don't have to ever switch back and forth.

I bought this watch when it first came out 4 years ago. It is the most accurate, trouble-free, practical watch I have ever owned...and I've owned them all, from the first LED watches (remember them?) to this LCD wonder. You NEVER have to set it, it's gets the WWV time signal 99% of the time even in South Florida; and I don't even bother to take it off my wrist at night when it searches for the signal. The other casio watches I've owned had a rubber band that breaks after a couple of years use. The stainless steel band of this watch is the way to go. It's big, easy to read and the solar cell battery stays charged even being indoors most of the time....no batteries to change ever! Over the 4 years this watch has been banged, bumped, soaked in both fresh and saltwater and been diving in the ocean. It's tough and like a timex (sorry) it takes a licking....
If you are looking for a tough, waterproof, extremely accurate, set & forget digital LCD watch...this is the one to buy.

This watch is supposed to update each day and synchronize (by radio wave transmission) to the most correct time possible by synchronizing with the Atomic Clock located somewhere in Colorado. There is a button on the watch you can press in order to see the last time the watch has successfully synchronized. When I received the watch new in the package I checked and it had not been synchronized for about 6 months. I tried to do a manual synchronize process which did not work. I left the watch out on my dresser so it could synchronize automatically and this attempt also did not work. So, the first day out of the box, the watch did not synchronize with the Atomic Clock. Apparantly the watch just needs a day to wake up and get used to it's new home, because it has operated flawlessly ever since. I love the watch, it's look, it's easy to read and it's comfortable. Maybe the cardboard box it comes in reflects radio waves? I don't know. Other than day one of my ownership, the watch works great!

I purchased this watch back in September 2003 as a replacement for an old Seiko that was dying on me. The price was right and I wanted a watch that had the ability to sync with the atomic clock, so timekeeping would be accurate.
Now, going on 6(+) years, this watch has not let me down. For the very first time, I had the battery level drop below 4 bars. Several hours in the window and the charge level came right back. Winters in Michigan take it's toll.
It is big, but not overly. I have a tough time wearing it under cuffed shirts.
For the price and the features, I recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a solid performer.
