Customer Review: Classic Style, Great Operation
G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch is an excellent timekeeper. Noteworthy is the fact that the screen goes blank when it is in the dark, but as soon as it is exposed to light, the black digits re-appear. It is sometimes difficult to depress the light button, but it is well protected from exposure to any type of moisture. The solar power and the automatic synchronization are both excellent features.

Also like the fact that the buckle has two latches. The band is very comfortable compared to most of the Casio watches that only have a single prong buckle.

The watch is easy for use with time zones. An excellent feature if you have to travel into different time zones. Most important of all is that it lives up to the toughness of the “G-Shock” tradition.
Customer Review: Good Watch
I chose this watch for its simplicity, and I am VERY HAPPY with it. The watch is set for the Cesium clock in Japan, so it must be configured for the Cesium clock in Colorado or it will register a signal error. This is done by reading the comprehensive instructions. I took the back off in attempt to reset it, but the battery can’t be removed. In the process I messed up the buttons, so I had to take the back off again to fix the buttons. In the process I may have not seated the O-ring right, but if the crystal develops condensation I’ll have to take the back off a third time, dry it out and fix the O-ring. When I shorted the battery it drained the battery and reset, but after wearing it in the sun mowing the yard it charged to high and stayed there ever since.

I’m a little worried about the watch band and replacing it if it ever breaks. I might try and obtain a couple of extras from Casio. It doesn’t use the standard spring pins. The band is unique to this watch, and it’s made of plastic.

The watch has calibrated with the Cesium clock in Colorado every day so far without fail. I am hoping this continues and that it will be as good a watch for me as the similar-looking Casio watches of the 1980’s.
