 My Dream Watch! July 2, 2008

When I opened the package, I was surprised with how this watch looked even better than it did on the web sites. The three small windows on the face are easy to see, but are not as bright as they look in the picture. The silver frame around the face and the hands stand out in a dark background, which is so cool! This watch is not small like baby-G, but is compact and looks like all you need for everyday life is packed inside.
The atomic system and solar power are really convenient as other reviewers describe them, and you don't have to do anything to keep this watch working accurately. I just grab it and put it on my wrist in the morning! Even though it's casual, it can be worn for work as well as recreation. Of course, this is G-Shock, so you don't have to worry about doing damage to it at all, while washing your hands, taking a nap, and even playing sports in the rain!
Personally, I like analog watches better than digital ones because you can quickly see the time in stead of having to picture the clock face in your head. But it's convenient to have digital display, too, to view the exact minutes and seconds. This watch is basically analog, but has digital display, as well, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds! Just a note, this watch doesn't have second hand (but you can see seconds on the digital display), and the minute hand moves every twenty seconds. It's kinda fun to watch.
The only change that I would make is to have the whole face illuminated, including digital display. The LED light only lights up the analog portion of the watch from the bottom of the watch face, and you cannot see the digital display in the dark (You can see the analog portion clearly without any trouble). So you shouldn't expect to set the alarm in the dark.
But over all, I'm quite satisfied with this watch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tough, reliable, and good looking timepiece.

I was trying to decide between this one and the AWG101. Biggest difference I could see were the bezels and color, not worth the extra $20.00 or so. This watch is really nice looking, very light yet solidly built. I pretty much do not take it off. One of the best features is the solar re-charging. I do not know how many Ironman's or other sport watches I have ruined by replacing the battery and breaking the seal. Kind of freaky when I first took this watch out of the box and it started to set itself, then stopped at the exact time!! COOL. A little bulky, but not huge. The light is fine, it does what it is supposed to do and is a cool orange. Great watch and highly recommended!
Very good watch + light June 16, 2009

Besides the atomic time keeping and solar recharge it also has an excellent LED light. I use the LED light to obviously read the time, but also to see in pitch black areas around the house at night. It is like a mini flashlight if your eyes are adjusted to the dark. I can make out the thermostat reading, where light switches are, etc. The hourly chime is also very helpful, and the alarm I find is louder than most which is great!

Bought this watch for everyday use and the package arrived very quickly from here, thanks Amazon!
The watch itself looks nice, i like this type over digital, i like the fact that one can chance different digital displays on the face, one can chance from digital display of the left hand circle from time, Day,to Month/date. The light seems to work fine.
I love the battery function where the battery gets charged when one is out under the sun or any strong light source.
This is my first ever Atomic watch so I can't really comment on how this watch is since i have nothing to compare to but so far it's been working great and i'm looking forward to not changing time in the future!
This watch is also quiet comfortable to wear, I slept while wearing it and didn't feel a thing.
Overall, this is an excellent everyday watch and you can't beat the price here!

I've had this watch for a little over 2 years now and it's got the scars to prove it :)
It's a G-Shock so it's supposed to be this way. I live in rugged country and, whenever I go out into the rugged outdoors, a Gucci just won't do it. I'm taking the G-Shock and I don't worry about getting it scratched and it got scratched more than once.
On the functions side, it synchronizes every night with the mother of all US clocks in Colorado. By the way, just because it does it for me it's not a guarantee that it will do it everywhere. The farther you are from Colorado the more iffy the sync feature is but, it will try to sync every night and, if you see that it fails repeatedly, you should try leaving it in a different spot - in my case, it will sync when left on the second floor but not from the first.
Other functions include the ability to show the time digitally, multiple time zones, daylight savings time auto adjustment, illuminated display, stop watch, calendar and, of course it's solar powered. Even though I can't say that I cared much about exposing it to the light, 2 years later, the battery indicator continues to show 'hi' (meaning 'high').
Besides scratches, the only defect I noticed was that following last fall's daylight savings time adjustment the analog minute hand fell one minute behind. The digital time display is still perfectly accurate though. I am curious if it's going to self-correct this coming Spring adjustment. We shall see. But, maybe I'm going to buy me a new one soon.
