Received as X-mas gift, and I'm very pleased. Operates well, only complaint is with Instruction booklet. Trying to set Alarm takes some doing, but persistance (and practice) pays off. Looks great and Atomic time setting (automatic) is really neat, and accurate !
GREAT WATCH!!! March 7, 2008

The Casio Men's Multi-Band Atomic Watch #GS1100-2A is a fantastic, rugged, very solid watch. It's also water and shock resistent. Very attractive styling, and the blue face is easy to read. It's heavy and thick, but the face is actually slightly smaller in diameter than I'd thought, which is perfect because I was expecting a massive chunk of a watch. As soon as I took the watch out of the box, interior motors automatically began winding the hands to the correct time for (not surprisingly) the wrong time zone (preset?). But that's okay. After a quick glance through the operating manual, which will definitely take some patience, I manually synchronized the time with the atomic clock. The hour and minute hands are luminous after just a few minutes in light, and are bright in darkness (although I haven't timed how long the luminous quality persists). The watch seems incredibly well-constructed and durable, and I have no doubt that this watch will last for years, if not decades. The urethane band seems comfortable enough. I do have trouble reading the day of the week on the chronograph-style dial, but that's a very minor thing. Both the second hand (located on one of the interior dials, not where you'd expect it) and the date window are both easy to see. I still haven't figured out how to do everything, yet, but if you plow through the operating manual, it's worth the time even though the manual isn't always simple to understand. The stopwatch works fine, as does the alarm, which only chirps for 10 seconds. I am impressed with this watch and happy with my purchase. Worth the money. (I ordered mine from shopemco, and they did a great job of boxing it up securely and shipping it very quickly - thank you, shopemco!!!) I hope this review helps you.

The watch set the time and date by itself. I have not had to read any instructions or do anything so far. Looks great, perfect time and sets itself...hey, what's not to like.

I have always wanted this watch, so when I was asked what I wanted for my birthday the choice was easy. There are two types of people who might purchas this watch. First there is the Geek, who loves to play with the complications. Second is the COOL DUDE, who just likes the looks. I am the second,& to me,It really looks good.
This watch is also made with a black dial, but I would reccomend the blue as it is easier to read.
I got the urethane band which I like better than the steel counterpart.It makes the watch lighter, & goes with the rugged look.
One disappointing feature is that Casio uses a mineral crystal, which makes scratching more likely.
All in all, I give this watch 5 stars,as it satisfied all that I was looking for. Buy it,& you will probably look as rugged as I do.

The watch looks good.
There are some deficiencies which may be do to the analog implementation. Changing the time zone (from Eastern to Central) caused it to lose a few minuntes which was probably do to some mistakes I made. However someone who buys an atomic solar watch wants to know the exact time. Changing the time back was easier because it is the next setting on the dial and I had some practice.
Personally, I think they could lose the stop watch and alarm features to simplify operations.
However these are minor issues and did not seem to merit deducting a point.
There was a review here that criticized the readability of the face; my eyesight isn't the best but I've been very pleased with this aspect.
