With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the
wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered
digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic
technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field
confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market

This Casio men's G-Shock watch has a classic analog display but is filled with high-tech features. The stainless steel case is shock resistant and houses a black dial that has white dashes for indexes. Three sub-dials provide chronograph functionality, and there is a date window between the four and five o'clock positions. The watch runs on solar power, and will last for four months on a full charge without need for further sunlight. The watch calibrates itself to the official US atomic clock for unsurpassed accuracy. The watch has a daily alarm, world time for 29 time zones, and a calendar pre-programmed until the year 2099. It has a black resin band and is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters).

 Another winning G-Shock September 3, 2010
B. Sanger (New Jersey)
Just purchased this to replace my old metal-band G-Shock, which finally bit the dust when I got my wrist wedged between a rock and a hard place - literally - while exploring a river in Vermont last weekend. Wasn't sure if I'd like the resin band, but after a few hours, I think it's actually more comfortable then the metal band - and I consider myself a metal band snob.
Great looking watch. Very busy face, but looks sharp. Plus, analog. A big plus. Took me almost a half-hour to completely figure out the directions, but once it sank in, the processes became quite simple. I certainly understand anybody that's frustrated by the directions though. Did have to change the home city and "Auto DST" setting. (Weird opening the box and watching the hands start spinning automatically btw.)
Now to see if it holds up as well as my previous G-Shock, which took many, many beatings before being lost in the river.
 Terriblly Difficult to set September 1, 2010
Justin
Setting the functions is extremely difficult. I read manual again and again and tried to set function many time, but I still don't know. The setting is a kind of 'Finite State Machine'.
But the problem is the setting sequence is so difficult and I don't know which state I am to control.
I followed the manual, but the watch often does not work what the manual describes.
I managed to set the time, but I don't know how I did it.
Outside the satelite range, the automatic time keeping is useless.
Outlook is fine, but control function is terrible difficult. I respect who uses this
watch~.
very good; I love it! August 13, 2010

This is my first G-shock watch by Casio and I absolutely love it! It is a bit heavier and larger than my 11 year old swiss army watch, but I have gotten accustomed to it quickly. It is somewhat complicated to use, but I think I have it figured out now, and it probably took 60-90 minutes with the user manual. I do not have a problem with the slow movements of the hands when changing modes and time zones as some have commented; it is an analog watch, afterall, and not digital. The stopwatch is kind of lame because it does not go beyond 60 seconds after rotating a full 360 degrees. If you want a quicker-acting watch with full stopwatch capability, then get something digital.
At first, I thought the automatic calibration with the atomic clock in Colorado was difficult due to weak signal reception in south florida; I only had one successful sync in the first week of having the watch. But since that time, I now sync without problems most days out of the week. Even if you cannot sync, it's not a big deal b/c you can set the time manually if needed; and I found it easy to accomplish.
I've been wearing the watch while running in the Florida summer and swimming too. It seems to shrug off my abuse without problem. The watch face has excellent readability under water or when wet. I like the resin band, it doesn't get stinky like leather/fabric bands and is not restrictive like a metal band. The glow-in-the-dark hands are sufficient for nighttime use and a nice feature. The alarm is a bit of a pain to set and requires patience, but it works in a pinch; I would agree with other reviews on the alarm not being very loud. And the 24 hour clock is not totally worthless like some have suggested, I have used it a couple of times to confirm my am/pm times, but it cannot tell you the exact time.
And lastly, the watch looks fantastic and can be worn for any occasion! It's a great watch for a reasonable price. I would definitely buy it again and I am very pleased.

I love this watch, I've gone through too many 50 to 60 dollar watches to count so I decided to get something a little tougher and this watch is tough as hell. At first I couldn't get the time sync to work but when I placed it in a window on the west side of my house it synced with no problem. I'm a drummer and sometimes I play with my watch on and believe me when I tell you that's one way to quickly destroy a watch, the constant jarring and vibration is more than enough to destroy an average watch but this is no average watch and it hang's in there with no problem and it's been doing so for about 2 years now. To be completely honest the only drawback is that it doesn't have a light but in my opinion all of the good things about this watch make up for that in spades. Love it and if and when this one dies I'll buy another one.
