Amazon.com Product Description
The Casio Men's Solar Atomic Resin Strap Watch #WVM120J-1 combines the classic styling of a dive watch with a sporty, full-featured digital interface. Versatile and reliable, this timepiece never needs resetting or batteries thanks to Casio's Solar Power and Atomic Timekeeping technology. With its classic dive style design (which includes features like a rugged black resin band with a traditional buckle clasp and a round dial), this handsome timepiece is ready for a day at the office or inspection by the ship's divemaster. The watch's reliable quartz movement is solar powered--which accurately keeps time up to eight months without further exposure to light. And if you're in the US, UK, Germany, or Japan, the watch receives time calibration radio signals (up to six times per day), so you always know your watch is set to the right time. Other technical features include three daily alarms, an LED light with Afterglow technology, a world clock with 29 time zones, four daily alarms , a 1/100 second stopwatch that records split time, a calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099), 12- and 24-hour formats, and water resistance to 330 feet (100 meters).

 Very convenient watch for everyday use November 10, 2009

Some time ago I have sworn that I will only use solar-powered watches that synchronize time with atomic clocks. Initially only quite expensive and 'stylish' models were available, but wearing a timepiece worth several hundred bucks while doing work around the house makes you constantly worried that you scratch precious thing.
This watch is under $100 and has all the benefits of its more expensive 'brothers':
- Solar powered quite efficiently - with normal daily exposure to light I'm always at the 'max charge' level (of course living in sunny Nevada helps here).
- Time synchronization with the 5 radio transmitters all over the world (USA, England, Germany, Japan*2). I frequently travel to visit family in Europe, so USA and England/Germany transmitter sync is important to me. Many watches in the US only sync with USA transmitter or USA and Japan; the latest models just started supporting new China transmitters; this one is the perfect balance for me.
- Time signal reception is excellent in Nevada, bot inside the buildings and outside. From my previous experiences it should mean good reception throughout the West Coast and (maybe!) some problems inside solid-construction buildings in New England and Florida.
- Unlike some cheap models of watches and clocks, this one reads Daylight Savings Time data straight from the radio signal, so it 'springs ahead' and 'falls back' at the correct dates. Some older clocks have hard-coded DST transition dates and are confused after the recent DST changes in the USA.
- I love 'Auto EL' feature: the watch turns on Electro-Luminescent backlight for two seconds when it is dark and the wearer positions hand appropriately. Perfect for the movies, night flights and similar situations.
- I usually prefer metal bands, but resin band in this model is surprisingly good quality and wears OK.
- Button operation seems to be reliable so far.
- The glass is scratch resistant and placed recessed in the metal panel - so far I managed to keep it clear, which is unusual for me.
Amazon had the best price for this item, better than Fry's and Casio website. The watch arrived on time and in good shape.
An excellent watch for the money. March 14, 2010

If you buy a watch for its functionality and not as a status symbol or piece of jewelery, this atomic watch is the way to go. I have had 3 atomic watches so far and they keep getting better all the time. Just spend a little time with the instructions (your choice of 100 languages :-), just kidding). And you'll have completely accurate time keeping on your wrist. The Rolex people should be ashamed they can't be this accurate for $5,000 let alone under $50!
Arrives with the correct time and stays that way. December 15, 2009

I've thoroughly enjoyed wearing this watch. Though it's a little thicker and bulkier than its predecessor, the added atomic timekeeping makes it well worth the added size. It's easy to read, and the automatic light (tilt your wrist to look at your watch and it lights up automatically) is a phenomenal feature. The strap is durable and has a metal clasp, and the watch face is slightly recessed below the rim of its bezel, which seems to protect it from most bumps and scratches. Out of a vast array of watches, atomic timekeeping and the automatic light make this Casio stand out from the crowd.
I almost forgot to mention - the solar panels on the watch face mean you'll never have to change the battery. As long as the watch is exposed to a decent level of sunlight (or florescent light), it'll keep a charge. There's a little battery indicator on the watch face, but it's nothing to worry about; just wear it and it'll charge. At night, if you take the watch off, it's got a power-saving feature where if it doesn't detect motion (I have no idea how it does this, but it seems like magic) for a set period of time, the watch face shuts off to save power. When you put it on in the morning or if you keep it on your wrist, it'll turn on and stay on. It's rather neat.

Have to order a new Casio every 8-10 years. They always work as advertised and are very durable.
I would recommend this watch to a friend. February 14, 2010

Prior to purchasing this watch, I searched for a watch that I could wear to work, for sports (I road bike 60-80 miles a week & lift weights), and outdoors. I like that the watch is thinner than all the G-Shocks (it fits under your dress shirt sleeves) and is packed with many useful features.
The features I like are count down timer, 5 alarms & snooze (because I eat small meals all day). Also, I like the resin band and clean look. The atomic timekeeping & solar recharging are other features that I like.
I've owned this watch for over a year and it has performed great! The charge is always at full strength, even though I work in an office environment (long sleeves). A low maintenance watch, loaded with features, and reliable, would be how I would describe this watch to a friend. This watch has outperformed more expensive watches that I own...which is kind of sad because they cost 2-3x more.
For the functionality, ease of use, features, clean look, and cost I think it is a great value.
