Casio - G-Shock - Atomic Solar Review

I bought the GW1210A 2AV which is the same as this watch only a different color brand new (paid $220 a year ago as it listed for $300+) and just so you know as of the time of this writing the GW1210A model is no longer sold by Casio anymore. There is a very good reason for that.

Theoretically this is a great watch. It has so many wonderful functions, that is. . .when it works. It has been in the Casio shop for SEVEN months (it never worked right from the begining). The first time it was repaired it took 2 moths but when I received it back it did not work right in other areas that worked before. I sent it back again and it has been five months and counting! I just heard from the techs who told me they cannot repair it. They broke two watches and have gone through several modules (the gizmo that runs the electronic features)trying to get it to work. It is not the techs, it is the watch.

The Casio service department has been a nightmare. They do not call back when they say they will. In fact they have NEVER called back until today. I have a 7 month long log of all the calls and promises they have made as to when the watch would be ready. ALL of them were not kept and they had the attitude that I was bothering them.

For months I have been asking for a replacement watch or at least that they would extended the warranty for another year from the point when I received the watch back-- Casio has said, "No" until now since after 7 months they cannot fix it. They cannot replace this model as they say they do not stock it anymore. So I am now having to negotiate with them on a replacement watch. The GW1200 is the only comparable watch. It has the same wonderful features but has a different module, so hopefully it will work. I asked for that watch but they have said they do not have that watch either. I will report back when this is finally resolved.

If you buy a G Shock get one of the cheaper watches. That way you will not be out much money and maybe the simpler style watch will work better. I've had great luck with their cheap watches.

Casio Men's G-Shock Gulfman Solar Atomic Watch #GW9100-1 Review

I received this watch today. Thank you Amazon for fast shipping (lousy packing, but the neither watch box nor watch itself was hurt).

Perfectly comfortable. Easy instructions. Great functionality.

All-around delighted by this great looking timepiece.

I've been wearing it and playing with it since it arrived about 5 hours ago (I should have spent more time actually working...), and having gone through all the functions and settings, I have found no (ZERO) negatives.

Highest recommendations.

Update... Day 2.

I wore the watch all day yesterday and forced a synch with the atomic clock at 6:39 PM. It worked flawlessly and caught a 'L3' signal even in the hills where I live.

Last night I put it on my desk and at 12:04 this morning it re-synched automatically.

This is a truly outstanding watch. I am wearing it again this morning and probably will all weekend. BTW... this kind of watch is usually not my style. I have worn mechanical Swiss watches for years; mostly automatics. This is my 3rd G-Shock and is my favorite by leaps and bounds.

Great watch.

Update...

After a little over 2 weeks I can say that this is the best digital watch I've ever owned. It rarely leaves my wrist. I wear it to work, the gym, hiking... everywhere.

When I don't feel it necessary to put on a 'dress' watch, this is what I wear.

The buttons are easy to push. The dial is easy to read. It's incredibly functional... and great looking!

Again, the absolute highest recommendations.
