 3 Years & Running Strong December 2, 2008

I bought this watch in Akihabara in 2005 when it was not available over here. What attracted me were the large clear numbers. These days, I let it set itself to the atomic clock at NIST in Colorado over night about once a month. It starts searching about midnight and is usually synched about 5 minutes later. Nothing else has been needed. The bans fits and has held up well. The battery still shows "H" after 3 years. I presume this is because the solar cell powers it most of the time. Though I hardly ever use the light. The crystal is hardy, as well. Couple of scratches around the edges. I do take it off before heavy work in the yard, but that's about it. One problem I had was the instructions were in Kanji! My Kanji is not so good. Better hold on to the instructions because there are a lot of functions and not many buttons. The dual time zone feature is very helpful when flying. No GPS, compass, or 1,000-name memory. It is just a solid time piece.
Casio WV300DA-7A stainless January 10, 2007

High end, stainless steel, digital watch with large, easy-to-read, black letters on white background. Casio design has reduced thickness of the atomic watch so that it now fits under the shirt cuff.
I wear the watch to bed at night and it receives the radio time signal while I sleep. The extensive instructions about watch placement to receive WWV radio signals have not been needed for my Ohio location.
Sizing of the watch band required the services of a watch repairman - but he did it no charge.
Many easy-to-use features.
Great digital watch October 24, 2007

I compared both the WV300DA-7B with the WV300DA-7A, the only difference being the negative display versus the positive display (negative is the 7B, and positive is the 7A). I eventually decided on the 7A, since the display was easier to see, and the light was more effective in the dark. This review is based on the 7A watch.
I was interested in finding a watch for my dad that was solar powered and had 24 hour time, since he needed 24 hour time for work. This meant that it had to be a digital watch, and Casio is pretty much the only company that has digital solar watches. Most of Casio's G-Shock and Wave Ceptor watches look pretty ugly and bulky but this one is definitely an exception. It has a slim profile with a rectangular case.
Contrary to what one of the reviewers said, I thought it as pretty easy to setup. I didn't need the manual to figure out how to change the city, or the DST setting, or the time. The back of the watch has engravings to state what each button does but you can figure it out by trying them. I used a thumb tack to remove the links to resize the band to fit my small wrists. You just have to force the holes opposite the arrow direction to unlock the links and perform the reverse to lock them. It took a little bit of effort to remove one, but once you get one unlocked, the rest are easier since you know much effort it takes.
It uses a Panasonic CTL1616 Cobalt Titanium Lithium battery for the storage, whatever that means. If it dies, just replace the battery. I'm not sure how long the rechargeable battery lasts but it should last a while.
Countdown Timer is a plus May 8, 2007

I am quite pleased with most aspects of this watch. It keeps perfect time. It has a solar battery. The countdown timer is very useful for taking short naps, or timing things in the oven or on the barbeque.
An improvement would be to be able to see the date and day at the same time. Presently, you have to push a button to alternate between day and date. Making it more waterproof would also be welcomed.
All things considered, this is the best waveceptor solar watch so far.
Readable & Accurate & Easy to Use January 3, 2009

I received this watch for Christmas from my wife. I had been looking for a Solar Atomic watch for some time and never considered this one, but was waiting until after Christmas just in case, even with the before Christmas sales. Now after ten days of use, I am well pleased at her choice. I owned a cheap solar atomic watch about 10 years ago that I wore for about 5 years and then the strap broke. It was not replaceable. So I went to a regular watch with a cloth type strap. This Casio is easy to read with its large numbers, even without my glasses on. The band was way too big, but after looking it over carefully, it was easy to take out the 4 links I had to remove; the hard part was finding something to fit in the little hole in each link, but a nail works well. Instructions for link removal should have been in the instructions. The manual is available and very readable at the Casio web site and only five pages long. The watch had the correct Eastern time when I opened the package and it took mere moments to figure out how to change it to Mountain time where I live. This watch has synchronized the time at 12:03 every morning (once at 12:08). I have an atomic wall clock in my living room and the two of them are at exactly the same time every day to the second. At first I thought the Casio watch face was a little big, but I have grown attached to it and really like it a lot for readability. I also like the metal band much better than the cloth band on my previous watch. The last atomic watch I owned was plastic all over, to include the band. When I put the Casio on, I hardly noticed it was on my wrist. Very comfortable, and no scratches yet anywhere, and I am very rough with watches. I would highly recommend this watch to someone who does not need a lot of bells and whistles. I doubt that I will use the stopwatch function, but who knows. I might use the alarm and maybe the timer, but time will tell. I will update this review if necessary in the future, but so far, this is an excellent watch for the price.
