Amazon.com Product DescriptionThe perfect training partner for your active sporting lifestyle, this Casio G-Shock men's digital sport watch (model GW700A-9V) offers a resin case that's accented by a silver top ring and champagne display as well as a black resin strap. It's also solar-powered and wirelessly receives atomic time updates. It offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity and a time recorder with up to 30 records. It also features four independent daily alarms (with one snooze alarm), world time from 30 cities, and an autocalendar (to the year 2039). And because it's solar-powered--charging in either sunlight or indoor light--you'll never have to deal with changing the battery. Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for recreational scuba diving. This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter. You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock.
What Others Say
A Great Watch
This watch does everything it's supposed to better than advertised. Instructions say to carefully position the watch near a window to receive radio signals but I find that it does just fine anywhere I leave it at night. Without making any special attempt to keep the watch in the light the battery charge indicator has shown full charge the entire time I've owned it. Since it's plastic it's lighter than a metal watch and more comfortable to wear. And best of all, I'll never again lose an argument about what time it is!
Not Thrilled
All these watches are amazing. So, in the first place, it's a very competent watch. That said, I was a little disappointed. I have a GW300 (module 2608) that had one of the early batteries so notorious for failing. This (GW700) watch just seems to go in the wrong direction. It's not as good looking, as tasteful, whatever. The digits are harder to read. The layout of the display makes less sense. Now with time on my hands (no pun intended) and with nothing to lose, I ordered a battery for the GW300 and carefully changed it. Guess which one I'm wearing and guess which one is in the cupboard in standby mode? If I had it to do over again, I would simply look at the pictures of the many watches Casio offers and try to be more careful.
Good value
Recommend this watch. Synchs nightly and keeps accurate time as a result. Some features are hard to use and require reference to manual. Battery level indicator is useless since it charges by exposure to sun.
Exceptional Watch
Casio Men's G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch #GW700A-9V
With so many fine Casio choices, and after reading numerous reviews of all the Casio Atomic Solar and Pathfinder watches, it was difficult to come down to a final decision. I had originally thought I would get a Pathfinder model, but the significantly higher cost and likely bulkier size steered me to the G-Shock models, and I could not be more pleased.
Since this is, after all, a watch, the most important feature to me was accuracy. Casio's website (http://www.casio.com/products/Timepiece/G-Shock/GW700_Series/product/GW700A-9V/)indicates +/-15 seconds per month. I think that is probably conservative, but certainly acceptable, even without Atomic Timekeeping. Based on ... Read More
Wonderful!
I ordered this watch for my first G-Shock. I have always wanted one, but wasnt in the Army, so i had no need for one of the huge mudman style watches. This one is sleek and slim, compared to the others. Atomic time was a must have and solar is very nice, living in FLA. Overall, very easy to use. Nice big display. comfortable band.
