 "Form, Function, and Style" 2010-01-21
By nb9001 (Vallejo, CA United States)
This watch has stunning good looks (to me anyway) and G-shock toughness. I wanted an analog watch for formal occasions with the features and durability of a G-shock and I'm not disappointed. Honestly it's too nice to be a daily wearer for me. Note that this isn't really a "dress" watch, it's a good-looking G-shock with a metal link band. Formal enough for me. The solar power and atomic timekeeping work as advertised. I have another solar Casio so I'm used to taking off the watch and leaving it near a window at night. Some things to be aware of: be prepared to spend time with the manual to figure out how to set it and use various features such as stopwatch and alarm. These functions are intuitive on my GW800 but somehow the analog equivalents take some figuring out. Also the large second hand isn't really a second-hand, it's a function indicator. That took awhile to get used to. Finally, the metal band is large and I had to take it to a jeweler to have links removed. That wasn't much of a hassle, but if you're used to sports watches with resin bands it might be a surprise that it doesn't fit out of the box.

 "Good deal" 2009-07-11
By Jose Menezes (rockville, MD USA)
Good deal and price for this g-shock. I've been looking for a sportif, atomic, solar battery and reliable watch. after reading some reviews at Amazon.com I decided to buy this G-Shock Giez and I'm very happy with my choice.

The CONs are: the not so good synch through atomic clock; and the not so friendly menu.

 "There's nothing like a G-Shock" 2008-12-20
By Waldo252 (Belfast, ME)
I've only had my new G-shock for a day, but it is exactly what I was looking for; a super rugged watch that looks as good with jeans and a t-shirt as it does with dress pants and a button down. The functions took a little while to figure out, and I'm still not too sure about the auto calibration that'll keep me entertained for a little while, but over all a great watch. This is the 3rd G-Shock I've had and I swear by them now. The first was lost in a car accident. The second I'm fairly sure was done in by water damage but that was only due to the fact that I finally had to have the battery replaced which compromises the seal. Now with the solar charging battery this thing should be bomb proof!!

The only real complaint I have is that for a $400 (retail price) watch it came in the standard Casio packaging like you would get from the case at your local Wal-Mart. I really expected it to come in some type of nice gift box. I'm just glad I wasn't giving it as a gift!!!

 "Great Watch, Great Deal" 2010-01-05
By Adam Jensen (Florida)
I am really liking this watch so far, I've had it for about a week. From some of the reviews I read I was a bit afraid it would be hard to work, but I found it very easy and the instructions a very good, (and I didn't have to print them online). I liek others have had issues trying to manually connect for the atomc time in Colorado, but if left in the window at nioght like the manal says it gets it every time. Bottom line I think it is a great watch for the price and I really like the blue face.

 "Great looking watch, manual is baffling" 2009-12-15
By Brian D. Pratt (West Palm Beach, FL)
Probably the best looking watch in Casio's lineup. Good deal for under $200. Does take extreme patience to figure out how to get the time setup the first time. Really Casio. A picture with arrows to tell me how to set it up? Worst manual ever. As long as the solar battery lasts I will be happy with this watch.

 "You Could Make a Career Of Setting the Time on This Watch" 2009-12-06
By Nero Wolfe (Ft. Worth ,TX)
This is the last time I buy a watch without a crown to set the time. The only way to set it is to read the crummy instruction book about 10 times over and spend the evening pressing buttons. I finally did get it set then guess what. Daylight Savings time ends and the book says to leave in the window with a clear view of the western sky and it will correct itself when it receives the signal from the atomic clock. Ha! It's been in the window 3 weeks and it's still an hour off.

Pure garbage!

 "not reliable" 2009-09-15
By M. Boissonneault (Montreal)
This watch worked perfectly for about 6 months, then, its stop indicating the time. I read thoroughly the instruction; contact the Casio service (which is not very good either). Finally I decided to buy a Timex for a fraction of that price. A lot of features but not reliable at all.

 "Bad @ss watch that has no parallel for the price!" 2009-12-09
By Thomas (Denver, CO)
This Casio is solar powered, has atomic time keeping, is 200m water proof, has a perpetual calendar (day/date) programed to 2099, has a chronograph (to 1/20th sec.) that can be paused, has 1 daily alarm, supports 29 world time zones, and it's an awesome looking G-Shock that is fully analog! All of its features are useful and work as intended. This watch simply can't be beat for the price!



Other reviewers have commented that it's complicated: it is. Get over it though, seriously. You don't buy a watch like this for its looks alone; you buy it because of the features it has. Take a little time and go through the manual. After a short get-to-know session with the watch and a few visits to the manual you will be able to easily do all you will ever need to do with it. It's a high tech watch so there is a learning curve to be expected.



Several reviewers have mentioned that the alarm is quiet: it is. Just plan on using it only as a "reminder alarm" and not relying on it as a "wake-up alarm". Low alarm volume is typical of most wristwatches anyway.



Some reviewers have stated that the hands move slowly when adjusting the alarm or switching between time zones. They're a little bit slow but personally I enjoy watching the 5-motor technology at work. If you are too impatient to wait for the hands to move while you change the settings you shouldn't buy a feature packed analog watch like this one; go with a basic analog or get a digital watch instead.



One reviewer said that the 24 hour dial (upper left) doesn't do anything. That is not correct. In regular time keeping mode the dial displays a.m. and p.m. and it's useful for a no-math-involved conversion to military time. In stop watch mode it counts the hours elapsed. Those features may be considered trivial to some but it is incorrect to say the dial does nothing.



As another reviewer noted the chronograph minutes are difficult to read accurately since there are only 5 minute interval hatch marks on the upper right dial. This is a minor downfall but after getting accustomed to reading the chronograph minutes dial and checking it carefully, it is entirely possible to get an accurate reading. If the main reason you were interested in this watch was for its chronograph, you may want to reconsider.



My favorite things about this watch: It is super comfortable; it's easy to read at a quick glance; it shows the day and date; it's solar powered; the atomic time keeping works great and makes transitions to and from daylight savings a breeze. It is also easy to clean and keep looking like new. I have been wearing this watch every day for a several months now and it barely shows any signs of wear. I also like that this Casio doesn't have any stuff I won't use like a tachymeter or tide graph. The one thing I would like this watch to have that it doesn't is a light.

 "Good timepiece but can't do anything else" 2009-12-01
By Systeme Meditech (Montreal, Canada)
Nice looking watch with lots of functions that can't be used.

Takes a long time to move to the alarm, or world time functions.

Chrono time can't be read accurately.

Alarms...can't be heard unless you hold the watch up to your ear.

I've taken the watch all over the city and haven't been able to sync it yet.

I love watches and this one looks great so, for the price, I won't send it back. But if I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy this one. Casio has so many other great products, don't waste your money or time on this one.

 "Casio G-SHOCK Giez" 2009-10-22
By C. Michael Watkins
Great looking watch, feels and looks solidly made - very "macho" while maintaining a degree of quality and class that is missing in many other very expensive brands.

With an attractive design, lots of function and clear function layout, it is, for the (Amazon) price, excellent value.

On the downside, rather too chunky - sits high on the wrist which makes it prone to snagging - and the resin band gets "itchy" if worn tightly enough to eliminate too much slack.

I find the day function symbols a little too small for my ageing eyes

The operations guide is confusing at first and procedures for taking advantage of all the functions appear a little complex - it took some time before I could understand the different modes and get comfortable enough to use most of the functions. After 6 weeks I still could not use them all without going back to the manual. The stop-watch function is certainly intuitive, however.

Synching with the Atomic time server is rather hit or miss - especially, for US buyers, if outside the 600 mile signal radius from Fort Collins, CO - but the accuracy and reliability of the watch appears to make any gap between synchs moot.

Alarm beep is almost inaudible with no apparent volume control and doesn't work at all when following some function procedures (on my watch) - like setting "Home City" which requires you to "hold down A for about 5 seconds until alarm beeps twice"

Despite the above, I am becoming much more comfortable with the functions as time goes on and am increasingly pleased with my purchase of this watch.

 "Awsome Watch For Frequent Travellers" 2009-10-16
By Sudhakar Mishra
This is a really nice watch for people who travel frequently.



Pros:

1) Looks & Finish

2) Functionality

3) Ruggedness (Its G-Shock!)



Cons:

1) Difficult to operate.



Its difficult to operate & takes a lot of time in setting up (that's the reason I gave it 4 stars), but you'll get used to it.



Well, in a crux, its a value for money watch with loads of fuction & style. Go for it....!

 "Good Product" 2009-10-14
By Hernan Mendez (Venezuela)
Excellent Product, however, It would be better if it come with a stainless Steel belt.
