This is a bargain at twice the price, but it is about $50-55. It is atomic (set by radio from the atomic clock in Ft Collins, here in the USA), and other places in Russia, Japan, Europe. (Note that Russia is deactivated by default. This saves your battery.) It can be a bit complex to set, but if you just want to set the time zone so the watch is reading the correct hour, it is simple. Wait to get help if you want to turn on 24 hour time, beeps on the hour and such advanced features, or DST.
So the watch is rated at 15 seconds a month accuracy but the atomic clock from which it derives the time is accurate to 1 second in 20 million years. It is rated as water resistant to 165 feet - 50 meters. And Casio makes a very stout watch.
Negatives other than being complex? Well it is solar/light powered (any visible light that strikes the face, charges a permanent battery). Net result, you never have to change the battery, reducing the cost of operation to replacing the seals every couple of years that maintain the water resistance. (I bet very few people do that though, without the reminder of the watch battery needing replacement. Its cheap enough to just buy a new watch when the seals fail.) But as the battery is charged, what appears to be a 3 segment display in the upper right, never moves beyond the two lines that were originally lit. (Don't know if it doesn't work, or each bar is two segments, or something else unexplained, but it doesn't seem to make a great difference.)
Thats about the worst thing about the watch, other than it doesn't have an expansion band on it. It DOES have a very long standard band on it though. It is a rather bulky watch, though there are watches considerably worse on the market.
I like it, and recommend it it to my friends all the time. I enjoy a good bargain, when I can find one.

I've had this watch for over a year and it works great. I use this watch for work, fitness, and cycling. It has many features of the larger G-Shocks at a great price. The G-Shocks were too thick to wear with dress clothes. This is a simple watch that has five alarms to remind me when to eat (I eat smaller meals) and a snooze alarm. This is a great watch for the value. The power is always high, I live in Colorado, and appreciate the atomic clock. It has duel time and a count down timer. I'd buy this watch again! I have a few watches and find myself wearing this one because it is so functional. It beats out the more expensive watches with it's nifty features.

So far everything is working as advertised. This model looks and feels a bit nicer than the cheapest Casio models due to the metal casing and overall appearance. The size is slightly smaller and thinner than the bulkier G-Shocks but it is still a fairly big watch. I like many of the features like world time, 100m water resistant, auto light ( it feels the angle of your wrist as well as ambient light ), solar power and the daily atomic reset to exact time. The tiny instruction manual explained all you need to know about the watch and it did not take a long time to read. The glass is probably not the most scratch resistant but it is lowered slightly in to the casing so that should protect it somewhat. The strap feels and looks ok but I have a feeling that it will wear out after a while. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Just the right feature for my needs and I commend the description short and succinct description from Amazon. A feature that I found on some of the watch descriptions is the picture with a measuring grid. It allows me to picture the size; instead of taking the written measurements and approximate it with my mind's eye. Some of Casio watch listings had this feature so I used it to approximate this watch. Would be nice if all watch pictures had this feature because it can be difficult to picture the exact dimensions of a watch face that is not square.
As a Canadian buyer there were no shipping choices. It would be nice if we were offered two shipping choices, one standard ground and one express. The only choice I was offered was express shipping for $20 (which is roughly 40% the price of the watch) - good thing it arrived 2 business days later. I would not have mind paying $10 for shipping and expecting it 8-10 business days later.
Overall, with the high Canadian dollar I saved on this purchase from Amazon.com

This is the most amazing $50 watch I have ever seen. Water resistant to a level I am unlikely to ever surpass, accurate due to automatic sync with atomic clocks worldwide (5 - count 'em 5 time signal sources in the U.S. and abroad), world time / local time settings, solar powered, etc., etc., etc. I wanted a watch that had flexibility, great accuracy, ruggedness, a non-metallic watchband, and was not expensive. I wanted it for travel to Europe next year, and didn't want to have to worry about a big disaster if some gypsy kid managed to steal it from my wrist. This watch has it all, does it all. Thank you Casio!
