Purchased this watch about 2 weeks ago. For the money I think its probably the best watch you can buy. I really wanted one of the Casio Waveceptors that was around $170 but I settled on this one due to price. I could not be happier. The watch looks nice and seems to perform well. The watch even has a battery indicator. It came out of the box reading medium charge. I stuck it in the window on a cloudy overcast day and now it reads Hi charge. Now that its charged it does not seem to change back to medium at all. I think it said in the manual the battery could hold a charge for 6 months from a full solar charge. Note: A solar cell in the watch charges a battery in the watch, in other words you don't have to stay out in the sun alot. As far as longetivity and reliability only time will tell, but I have a Casio Dive watch that I cannot kill--I just got tired of buying batteries so I ordered this one.
The watch has more features than I could ever ask for or remember how to use. I had to adjust the band but I just bought one of the cheap band adjusters on the site and did it myself.
Bottom line: It's not a Rolex but its Atomic and Solar. It's also attractive and costs well under $100. If your seriously considering it you probably should buy it.

The watch is very poor in usability. After owning it for weeks and reading the manual over and over, I can still not figure out how to change the date to English. It still displays the Kanji for the day and most likely will until I throw it away. The genius that designed it should change jobs and go into encryption technology. Nobody could crack his evil designs. The H-S ET setting is punishment for the user. When you select it and try to make any change, the display flashes -0 0- and never changes even if you hit the watch with a hammer. What the heck is this? I cannot believe that the designers could be so senseless and dumb. The watch keeps good time and it looks like it could withstand a nuclear blast. What it lacks in usability it has in brute ruggedness. It looks like a Buick from the 1950s only tougher. My advice is do not buy it unless you know Japanese, which I know a bit. Wait until LG or Samsung offer something better in titanium. The Japanese have totally lost their edge in design. Even my 16-year old straight-A daughter could not figure this watch out. I have 9 years of college education and this watch is just brain rocket surgery to me, not to mention incredibly bulky for my fine hands -- I had to remove five links from the bracelet to fit me. It is designed for 300-pound gorillas that cannot read Kanji nor English.

A nice watch for the money. I wish the backlight lit the whole face and not just the digital screen, the glow in the dark hour markings and hands just don't glow bright or long enough to be useful for more than a couple hours after dark. At least the digital screen will display time. Once fully charged, it stays charged for a really long time which is nice. My old Waveceptor had a crystal that stuck up above the bezel so it constantly picked up scratches, no worries with this one. The old band broke right where it connected to the watch body because it was made of plastic. This one looked like it was metal and wouldn't be a problem but it's just silver painted plastic so the band could break just like the old one after a while.

I really like this Casio Waveceptor. However, three things bug me: 1)The instructions say nothing about how to properly adjust the length of the wristband. I finally figured it out. 2)The "glow-in-the-dark" hands do not glow very long after dark and when you press the button to illuminate the dial, the light only illuminates the digital window, which may be set for day & date. Therefore you can't see the face and hands of the watch to get the time. 3)I don't like the fact that, if and when, I must replace the battery I must return the watch to Casio. I would think a simple battery replacement could be done at home.
But, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I am now on my 3rd one of these. I love the watch, as the solar face keeps the watch charged well, the radio-setting feature works well almost all the time (except when travelling overseas), the controls are reasonably intuitive, and it looks good (at first). Sadly, there is a bad flaw in the case design which makes me keep having to buy new ones every so often. The end of the watch where the stainless-steel band attaches, which LOOKS like it is stainless steel, is not really metal at all..it is actually grey plastic with a cheap silver paint on it. It looks excellent for a few months, and then it invariably starts peeling. On the first watch, I thought perhaps I just had a bad one, but the second one I bought, and now the third have all done the same thing. It is really a shame, because otherwise I really like everything about this watch. In case you are wondering, I'm an office worker, so it isn't like there is anything unusual about the way I treat the case...the paint just keeps coming off from normal wear from my shirt-sleeve. Bottom line: if you don't care what it looks like after a few months, this is a great watch, I have no complaints, but if you don't want to look like you are wearing an old, cheap, plastic-case watch, then avoid this model. I like it enough that I will probably buy another, and just treat it like a disposable, but then again as I type this I'm wondering if I should just go with a battery-powered WaveCeptor instead of paying extra for the solar feature, since the case never lasts past where the first battery would anyway, and those are about half the price of these...
