 Awesome watch for the money February 9, 2009

I was disgusted with TAG Heuer for no longer making repair parts for my favorite old watch. I was even willing to spend the ridiculous money they asked for replacing the battery and gaskets... about $100 every two years. I'll never get another TAG since they don't support their customers.
So... I looked all over, did lots of research, and found this watch had everything I was after. I love the solar power (no battery to replace) and the atomic clock synchronization (no more monthly date-changes or DST adjustments).
I found it quite easy to set up. Yes, you MUST read the manual but it's logical and easy to follow. Don't go pushing buttons without knowing for certain what you're doing and you should be okay. I especially like the setting that automatically turns on the dial lamp when it's dark and I tilt my wrist... it's totally cool. So in addition to solar power and atomic reception, it's got a tilt-angle sensor. Amazing.
The watch looks great... Amazon is selling it at a really good price: a bit over half what Casio lists it for.
My only wish is that they offered the watch with a stainless link band. I'm concerned that the weakest aspect of this is the rubber band. It's comfortable and looks fine, but I worry it'll break where I bend it back to insert the tab every time I put it on. And it's not a standard attachment, so there may be no repair option.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT AFTER LIVING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS:
I still like this watch, but wanted to share one problem that's popped up. The large buttons on the bezel are TOO EASY TO PUSH INADVERTENTLY. Meaning, simply by bending my hand back, I can end up changing the time zone or setting off a timer. As I type this, the date has been replaced by the time zone indicator. I now must find the manual (at home in my bedside table) to resume normal timekeeping functions. This happens a LOT! I can only hope Casio designers check these listings and will create a future version with a twist-stem that locks to replace these big, fat buttons.
Otherwise, I love the watch. At such a great price, I can't justify downgrading from 5 to 4 stars.
Very Nice Watch For The Money December 1, 2008

Overall this is a great watch. After reading through the manual, I had no trouble setting my home time zone and the daily alarm time. The LED light could be a bit brighter but it's amber glow is awesome and the auto-light feature worked flawlessly. I decided to disable it to conserve the battery's charge. Our home is ~800 miles from the time transmitter in Colorado, yet the watch has successfully synchronized every night since 11/20 in two different locations, neither of which are near a window. At night the second hand "sleeps" at twelve o'clock and the LCD panel shuts off while the watch is motionless. When the watch is picked up and tilted ~40 degrees the second hand zips around to the current second and the LCD is turned on. Everyone that I've shown it to really liked it and most cannot believe it cost less than $90. This watch is a perfect gift for that watch fanatic in your family. I know this because I'm that person in my family.
September 2009 update:
The second hand began ticking at 2 second intervals (low battery warning). I placed it under bright lights and in the sun for hours with no change. I bumped a button which sent the hands spinning and drained the cell. Hours in sun did not bring it back. Hope it's just the CTL 1616 (supposed to last 7 years) cell and not the solar cell.
Great Watch, Great Price, Great Features, and it keeps perfect time December 14, 2008

A very easy to read dial, backlight for night, and is super accurate with six updates from the atomic feature daily.
It is lightweight and for the money has to be one of the best values out there. It is water resistant and depth rated enough for water use, and it has a date feature.
For everyday wear I highly recommend this Casio model.
very nice watch February 10, 2009

I bought this for my husband. The watch is very comfortable, precise, and sophisticated looking. He has had it for a few months now and has nothing but good things to say.

I bought it and wear it every day & night. I only take it off when I take a shower. It's very nice design and keep a very good time better than some of expensive watches. I own other expensive watches and this Casio is my favorite one. I bought one for my son and he loves it very much.
