Casio Men's G Shock Atomic Digi Sports Watch #GW056A-1V Review

Casio Men's G Shock Atomic Digi Sports Watch #GW056A-1VSince "atomic" watches contain radio receivers, they've been too big for me. This one is just slightly thicker than a standard watch. The radio reception is great. The directions say to place it near a window for setting, but when daylight savings time came, I was sleeping nowhere near a window & it was set correctly when I awoke.

It is one of the better looking digitals I've seen. The digits are well formed from lots of dots, so a 3 does not look like an 8 with some bars removed. With all the progress in LCD displays, I cannot imagine why watch makers have stuck with such antiquated technology. The buttons are in the standard places for a Casio but are recessed so it doesn't look quite as geeky. The band is preformed to curve so it fits even my skinny wrists well.

The alarm is a gentle beeping sound that stops on its own after 10 seconds or so. If you need more to wake up to, it may be too quiet. For me, it's perfect.

My only complaint is that it shows you either the month/date or the day of the week but not both at once. A single button push changes that view. It always shows you the seconds passing. All in all, a very nice watch!

Product Description:
Offering a fashionable straight-lined retro look, this Casio G-Shock men's digital sport watch (model GW056A-1V) is solar-powered and wirelessly receives atomic time updates. The black octagonal case is accented by a silver top ring, and it's completed by a textured black resin strap. It offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity as well as four independent daily alarms (with one snooze alarm), world time from 48 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.

Casio Men's G-Shock MT-G Solar Atomic Watch #MTG910DA-1V Review

Casio Men's G-Shock MT-G Solar Atomic Watch #MTG910DA-1VI really like mine and would highly recommend it.Many of my buddies had G-Shock watches when I was deployed to Iraq and I decided to get one when I got home.I wanted a watch that could stand up to whatever I put it through.This piece it big, black, heavy, tough, and looks good on my wrist.On top of that, it has atomic accuracy (I don't think this feature works overseas), and is solar powered.The band is metal.The face and back of the watch is also metal.There are a few plastic parts on the case, but you can't tell by looking.It's all black.The light button and ring around the face are shiny compared to the rest of the watch.This is a subtle accent.The watch and band have a slight gloss.I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it doesn't have a countdown timer and the alarm needs to be a lot louder.

Casio Men's Electro-Luminescent Forester Analog Sport Watch #FT500WV-1BV Review

Casio Men's Electro-Luminescent Forester Analog Sport Watch #FT500WV-1BVI own three Omegas, two Citizens and three Seikos, but the little Casio Forester is the watch that goes with me into harm's way.I work in very severe conditions--in the Middle East.You don't want to expose a fine mechanical or even quartz watch to daily dust baths and searing desert heat.The little Casio has held up through the worst of conditions, and still keeps time to within 15 seconds a month of the atomic clock in Colorado.It's highly water resistant, and so light you hardly know it's on your wrist.Amazon sells this watch under $20.How can you complain about a rugged, accurate watch for under $20?I usually wear an Omega when going "out on the town," but the Casio is my watch for the dust storms and being around things that could knock your expensive watch silly.My expensive watches will last much longer because I have sense enough not to wear them to work!
