 Awesome Oct 05, 2008
I bought this G-Shock to replace my (still running!) 15 year old G-Shock watch. While the old unit still runs, I found that the protective rubber that encases the electronics of the watch was starting to fall apart, so the watch is essentially exposed now. It still looks like it could take a beating, but there are exposed metal rivets that keep on snagging on things. Those rivets tend to get caught in your sleeves and will start to tear the fabric over repeated wearings, so I finally gave in, and bought this new model.
Of course the new model is just as G-Shock tough as my old unit, and I'd expect no less. But in the world of electronics, 15 years is a long time, and this new watch eclipses the old one with it's new features.
First, the solar charging is awesome. You can put it out in the sun for about 10 minutes, and that charge is long enough to last a week. Keep in mind when you first get it, you'll probably need to charge it for a bit longer though, probably 45 minutes to an hour.
Even better, this thing synchronizes with the atomic clock in Colorado (forgot the name, the main amazon product page has it though) so it's super accurate. The synchronization is the reason that you have to keep this unit fully charged, though. To preserve battery life, once the battery reaches 50% capacity or less, it will no longer attempt to synch. With my old watch, I always knew that it the time wasn't 100% accurate, and I took the time it indicated with a grain of salt. With this guy, when I look at the time, I know that it's right to within millisconds.
There are a lot of neat other features that this watch has that the old one didn't have as well. For instance, you can set the backlight to automatically light up, depending on the angle of your wrist, without having to press a button. More gimmicky than necessary, but it's fun to show off to friends.
All in all, for the price of the purchase, the watch is well worth it, especially considering that I expect it to last me at least as long as my old G-Shock watch!
Great Watch Oct 01, 2008
I bought the watch about 2 months ago. I've had no problems and it has been great! Looks great too.
Nice Watch Oct 01, 2008
Watch works as advertised. Synchronization keeps it accurate. Easy to read display. Took 1 star off because I think the watch will last longer than the band.... then what.
Overall it looks good, and is probably a good rugged watch

In response to the Negative Review May 19, 2008
Casio should pay me a commission for saying this but to the reviewers whose watches quite working after a year or more, the owners manual clearly states that solar battery wears out and needs to be replaced. Mine worked fine for over 2 years

Awesome Watch Feb 15, 2008
I absolutely love this watch like none before it. Lets face it... watches are nothing to get excited about. But it is such a comfort to know that this watch is always accurate. If you travel a lot, like I do, then being able to check into Southwest Air right at the stroke of the check-in window gets you a much better seat. The watch is great looking and I wear it all of the time unless doing something that might damage it. I have also already taken it to 70 feet scuba diving with no hint of fogging.
