G - Shock - GW1200BA1AV (Size: men) Review

G - Shock - GW1200BA1AVThis is my second G-Shock; my first is still chugging right along even after going through basic training, and 4 years of active duty abuse.I've had my first G-shock for about 10 years.First and foremost when we are talking G-Shock we are talking INDESTRUCTABLE.I mean back over it with a jeep, drop it over 60' onto concrete, getting it ripped off my wrist leaving me bruised and bloodied before a pin in the strap bent enough to pull loose, and finally fill it with sand and water in the desert...G-Shocks just do not quit. Other watches in the field, Timex, Seiko, etc don't have nearly the ability to weather rough conditions and treatment and come out looking and working great.

This new G-shock promises more of the same but in a more visually interesting package stuffed full of techy goodness. The bracelet and the case are standard G-shock bulky (this is no small watch) but instead of the chunky black plastic there is very nice looking two/three tone metal.From a looks standpoint it really stands out when compared to the rest of the G-shock type watches.I get lots of positive comments and questions about this watch which brings me to the coolest and most aggravating aspect of this watch.

SWEET BLUE LED lights...Yeah it's freaking cool!BUT, it's pretty useless...The lights are placed at 3 and 9 on plane with the face, so when lit the light hits the hands of the watch at about 90 degrees and fails to shed light on ANY of the recessed digital readouts effectively.I mean, the BLUE light is super cool and is great for lighting dark hallways, but it just doesn't do it's job nearly as well as the old school "indiglo" type of background illumination. It's frustrating that Casio didn't get this worked out better. Timekeeping?Flawless, I am up in the North West and the watch has no problems communicating with Ft. Collins CO.Needless to say the watch is super accurate.

Power source?The Solar seems to work pretty well and I have yet to have a concern regarding power.The face mounted power meter lets you know where you stand and thus far even in the Cloudy Northwest there have been no power concerns.

Functions?Well there really isn't a whole lot offered but the basics are all here and they work very well.Buttons all have the standard "firm" G-shock feel to them and work well.

Overall I couldn't be happier, the Blue LED illumination is not all that effective but it's unique, the case and bracelet have a quality look and feel to them, and the watch has a great over all feel to it and should last forever.

For what it is it might seem a little spendy for this category of watch, I mean it really is just a pimped up G-shock after all, but with its Atomic and Solar features along with the handsome looks and serious toughness it's a fair value.

Four out of five stars ONLY because of the poorly executed out but SUPER COOL Blue LEDs.

G-Shock Men's Watch G-Shock G-7800-1DR - WW Review

G-Shock Men's Watch G-Shock G-7800-1DR - WWReview of My new G7800: like a greatly improved 5600!
I just received my G7800 (positive display, black, brushed stainless steel around the face) and I really like it. The digits are not annoying at all. I was afraid that the digits would be too 'tile like' but they are fine. They are bold enough to see at a glance. The time is perfectly placed right in the center of the watch! Can you imagine- a g shock with numbers perfectly placed, and no silliness filling up the screen? No more searching for the actual time amongst distractions! I was able to make the fonts on the day/date year fine, so that the time stands out more.

The watch has a very nice brushed steel front. Basically the styling is very similar to the 5600's. It is like a 5600, but upgraded and more modernized. It is a 5600 without as much nerdiness. It has a classy but tough look to it. It looks like it will hold up better than the 5600 cosmetically, thanks to the steel! It might be a tad more raised than the 5600. You really cannot go wrong with this one.

The watch is not atomic, which, to me, means that it should last longer than 1.5 years. I have had 3 atomic casios, and all 3 have died within 1.5 years. I wouldn't have bought it if it were atomic.

I think that we may have a perfect G shock here, which i didn't think existed. The only thing is that the band is a little stiff. Hopefully it will soften up with time. I might dip the straps in boiling water to help them along.

I can tell that I am going to wear this one constantly. It took over a year, but I am glad that I have finally pulled the trigger. $75, off of amazon, came in 4 days.

I could go on about the functions, but why bother? I just use it to tell the time, and to time myself at the gym and on my lunch hour. World time, timers etc..

Really guys- if you have been on the fence on this one- it is well worth pulling the trigger on this one. It is just a fantastically evolved dw5600. Maybe that is why they called it the 7800? They have taken the 5600 (which to me has always been a perfect watch) and they have dressed it up. They have brought the 5600 into this century. You can't go wrong here.

Don't be turned off by the tile like digits- that effect goes away when you see the watch in person. It was my biggest concern, but now it is not an issue.

Casio Men's VQ201HSGA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Watch Review

Casio Men's VQ201HSGA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic WatchI bought my first Wave Ceptor several years ago.I got a good deal on it but the plastic band broke about a year ago and it is designed so it could not be replaced unless you sent it back to Casio.I learned from that one.These watches keep perfect time and this band is REPLACABLE.The looks of this watch are terrific with the gold ring around the blue field.Yes, it only has the day displayed, but if you become familiar with the buttons, you can find all of the other information.Besides, if you don't know the month and the year, you need more help then this watch can give you.This is a great deal on this watch. Almost half price.I am happy.

Your Friend,
The Timekeeper

Casio Men's Wave Ceptor watch #WVQ-560A-1AVHappy with this watch despite the photos making itlook like the body was a satin finish, it's actually very shiny. I prefer a brushed or satin metal finish, but it still looks good and sits well on my wrist. The buckle on the strap has two(2) tounges instead of the normal, one(1)

Watch is faily heavy, and appears well made, and the strap with buckle is easy to attach, and remove.

Casio G-Shock Multiband Atomic Watch GW810BXD-1 Review

Casio G-Shock Multiband Atomic Watch GW810BXD-1I bought this watch because I like the idea of having it always accurate.
The only trouble is that it does not get the signal in the area where I reside, Vancouver, BC. I had another Casio that used to work fine and get a good signal in Vancouver, BC, but for some reason it totally stopped working. So I bought this one and immediately adjusted the belt to fit my wrist. Unfortunately, I need to return it but they would not take it back since the watch was resized and used. The Online store suggested me to contact Casio, which in turn suggested me to contact the store where I purchased the watch. I am still trying to find a solution.

Casio Solar Atomic Waveceptor Chronograph - Black & Yellow - Stainless Bracelet Review

Casio Solar Atomic Waveceptor Chronograph - Black & Yellow - Stainless BraceletI wanted the most current technology, atomic timekeeping and solar power.I also wanted a solid stainless case that, with the solar feature, would never need to be opened to replace the battery and hence would keep its water resistence.It's not too heavy nor too big (I had three links removed, and I'm a big guy so the band is large enough).It is to-the-second accurate according to my atomic wall clocks and gets a signal update about every other night here in central Virginia.I put it on a bookcase next to my bed, don't need to stick it in a windowledge.This watch is a bit hard to read in bright light.The dial and numerals are polished and put off a lot of glare, but I have unconsciously learned not to look at it straight on, but from a slight angle and that solves the problem.I'm pleased with the quality and accuracy, and it wasn't as complex as I feared.Good, quality product.Dick Poole

Casio Men's GW1400DA-4AV G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch Review

Casio Men's GW1400DA-4AV G-Shock Atomic Solar WatchLooks very solid, but feels a bit heavy on the wrist.The accuracy of radio controlled ("atomic")timepieces is beyond compare.So if the "atomic signal" can be received, a $10,000+ Swiss watch will not be any more accurate.Looks like it can take a beating. A nice touch is the glass crystal, which doesn't scratch like the plastic ones. The only real issue I have is that unlike other Casio atomic watches, there is no visible receiving indicator to tell if it has indeed synched with the atomic clock in Colorado.However, being that I own several atomic watches and clocks, I can easily see that this Casio is in sync.Looks a bit casual, but much less so than the plastic G-Shock watches.Also, the analog dial, to me, is much more appealing than all-digital. All in all, a very good watch at a reasonble price. I'd rate it 4 1/2 stars.NOTE: If you are looking for a multiple alarm, databank-type watch, or one with barometers, etc. this is not the one. There are plenty of other Casio models out there.If you are looking for basic, ACCURATE solar-powered time, this is the one.

Follow-up:The new reviewer "J. Tashima" in Los Angeles is correct.You can push a button to receive "GET" which tells you the last date and time of signal reception.However, other Casio atomics have a visual "antenna" symbol, which lets you know that it has received, without having to push a button. Seems to be much more convenient, although this criticism is minor. I have noticed that the reception is slightly more "touchy" for me than the other three Casio Atomics I own, two of which are much cheaper all-digital models.The key to this one is finding a good location in your house. Holding (instead of pushing) the bottom right button (same as the "GET"), activates the manual receive function.The signal strength is shown in bars.This greatly assists in the proper placement for reception. By the way, I totally agree with "J. Tashima"...excellent review!

Men's Casio Square Face Atomic Watch - Silver ( 9" ) Review

Men's Casio Square Face Atomic Watch - SilverI am with those reviewers that would like to give a product rating of 0 if it were available. How could you give it any other rating if it doesn't work?
I am in my fifth day of trying to get the watch to recognize the time. I have three atomic watch/clocks from other companies and none of them took more than one hour to receive the correct time. This Casio flat out doesn't work!
The 2"X3" manual is a joke! Could that be the reason for a #2 font? 55 pages for a watch?Now include a second language to make it 110 pages, then seriously crease it diagonally so it will not stay open without a clamp. The fix was to get the manual online then read it from the computer screen.
Guess I will get another LaCrosse; no problems with that one.

Casio Men's MTG920DA-1 G-Shock MT-G Atomic Solar Watch Review

Casio Men's MTG920DA-1 G-Shock MT-G Atomic Solar WatchThe strap/links on these G-Shocks are quite oversized: when I first got it, I could fit the watch around my legs! (You'll most likely have to get the links adjusted). Ironically, the four side buttons on the watch is small. So even if you have a huge wrist, you'll probably have trouble pressing the buttons! (Not for huge fingers)

***BEWARE*** the picture shows the four side buttons on the watch in silver, but the left and right side buttons on this model is actually plain black! It is quite misleading! The silver side button is actually the MTG920DJ model (which is the 2005 version). According to Casio, the MTG920DA was actually released in 2004 with black side buttons. If you search the Casio website, it will only display the MTG920DJ (their most recent version); most websites that still sell the MTG920DA are just taking the latest MTG920DJ version picture from Casio's website. The MTG920DJ seems to have the same features as this one (MTG920DA), except the four side (left and right) buttons are in silver.

For those of you wondering about the three circles on the watch:
the first one on the very left is basically a wannabe-analog display - basically, every five minutes, a bar increases (or decreases when it gets full); it's just mostly there for cosmetic reasons.

The second one in the middle is the battery status; it has an L (Low), M (Medium), and H (High) and the bar would display in one of those areas. If you get out in the sun a lot or know an area in your home where the sun shines a lot, then you won't have a problem with the battery ever going below High. Moreover, it has a power saving feature; the watch will go into sleep mode (display off) when it is in a completely dark area for a long time.

Finally, the third circle on the very right is where it tells you what options are enabled/disabled. It shows SPL (split time for stopwatch), DST (Daylight Saving Time), SIG (Hourly Signal), ALM (Alarm), SNZ (Snooze), and Auto EL (Automatic Electro-Luminescent backlight - the backlight turns on by tilting it a certain degree towards your face without having to manually press the backlight button.)

Keep in mind, synchronizing with the atomic signal is not instant: it usually takes around 3 minutes (at least for me, I live in California.) And if you're in a busy area or near an electronic, it might be difficult; try again or move to a different area. Moreover, it should show you the strength/level (4 levels) of the signal (while you're synchronizing) with a satellite icon on the watch. There is also a feature that automatically synchornizes for you while you're sleeping at 2:00AM, 3:00AM, 4:00AM, and 5:00AM. Therefore, it's not always necessary to syncronize it yourself because by the time you wake up, it should be ready to go.

Overall, this watch is attractive and fun to wear. The atomic radio signal feature is very cool; having the official time is great - right to the precise second! I've had this watch for months now, and I enjoy wearing it daily.

This watch does have a lot of feature - except, it's a pity it does ***NOT*** have a countdown timer!

Pros:
- Cool design
- Water/scratch resistant; G-Shock are known for their toughest watches. (Update: I've worn this watch daily for almost a year and a half now and not a single scratch - still looks brand new!)
- Solar Power; battery life is excellent; never had the power ever go below High. Power Saving Feature.
- Position of the time and date is easy to read at one glance.
- Metal strap
- Can display World Time with Local Time

Cons:
- The side buttons are small and tight to press (must use like the very tip of the fingers)
- Atomic signal takes too long manually, and it usually is not possible to synchronize while wearing the watch; if you're inside the home, it is usually best to take off the watch and leave it near a window.
- Alarm beep can be a little longer perhaps (even my inexpensive Timex Watch would beep and it would gradually beep faster, which I actually like a bit better.)
- No countdown timer. (How could they forget this?!)

Also, try to research other models instead of finding out the hard way (like I did about the side buttons) before purchasing.

CASIO WAVECEPTOR CHRONOGRAPH CHRONO ATOMIC WATCH WVQ550A-1A1V Review

CASIO WAVECEPTOR CHRONOGRAPH CHRONO ATOMIC WATCH WVQ550A-1A1VIts a great watch.It's got some heft.At first, I thought it was hard to read because this LCD is the reverse of normal LCDs.The entire screen is black, with the information appearing in gray.I can read it fine, though.In dim light or nighttime, the light function works great and the button is easy to find without needing to see.The best part about the watch is that it looks incredible.In my opinion, it's the best looking casio atomic solar watch hands down.

The band is black metal, and it doesnt scratch off.When removing links, I wasnt delicate with the thumb tack.I scratched at the metal many times, and it never scratched at all or lost any of the black.I was expecting the black to flake off, but it hasnt.If I had to guess, I would say the metal itself is black.

Casio Men's GW9010-1 G-Shock Mudman Solar Atomic Rally WatchI've only had this watch for a few days, but I have to say that I love it so far.I'm a watch guy, and I've never really bought a watch of this type before.I've always bought more dressy or sport watches.Most of the reviews on here are right on the money.The watch is light on the wrist, and comfortable.The buttons are a tiny bit tough to push, but nothing of any concern whatsoever in my opinion.The atomic sync is awesome... totally awesome.Mine syncs up on the nightstand (every day at midnight) & no where near a window. I find this model to be very attractive looking for what it is, yet still tough/rugged.I don't think I'll be the guy who's overly rough with it, but I did buy it for every day wear and tear around the house, at the gym, and outdoor activities... It seems to be the perfect fit.It's not over-sized at all in my opinion.Highly recommended so far.I'll make an attempt to report back in after a couple of months.

Casio Men's WVQ142DA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Silver-Tone Watch Review

Casio Men's WVQ142DA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Silver-Tone WatchI collect high quality mechanical watches but occasionally buy a quartz watch just to wear for knocking about when a good one might get damaged. Since I had never had an "atomic" watch, I thought I'd try this "entry level" one. First, it came with a Xeroxed user's manual that was for a completely different model altogether, where none of the buttons did the same thing at all. It took quite a search to locate a pdf file of the correct manual. I have now had the watch for almost a week, and it is still five minutes fast by "real atomic clock" time even though I've left it in a sunny window at least half the time. My advice: buy a more expensive model.

Casio Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #PAW500T-7V Review

Casio Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #PAW500T-7VJust received the PAW-500T. It is a nice watch, cheapest on web from Amazon.

Initial thoughts:

This is a regular size watch, i am used to wearing bigger watches, so the smaller size was somewhat of a surprise. (I expected it to be smaller, but not by this much...)

The band and case color is "titanium", which is somewhat darker than silver. Also, the metal is not polished, so it is not shiny either. So if you are looking for a watch that has a more reserved look, this is it.

Also, in spite of being a member of the new "slim" line, the watch still seems relatively tall, due partly to the smaller diameter. I have a feeling that this watch was designed with women in mind (who like outdoors, nevertheless) - even the somewhat narrow band is specified as "womens-standard".

Other impressions:

- It might be not really thin, but it is surprisingly light weight. That is a plus. (Case and band are BOTH made of titanium.)
- It measures temperature as well (which is also a plus).
- The big sensor on the side looks somewhat silly.
- "Multi band 5" makes it a real globetrotter watch...

Men looking for something more substantial should buy the PAW-1300T instead (another "slim" Patfinder for 2009).

Casio Men's GW500AJP-1AV G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch Review

Casio Men's GW500AJP-1AV G-Shock Solar Atomic WatchHaving owned the GW500AJP-1AV for a week, here are my thoughts on some of the points raised by the reviewers of this and other G-Shock models:

1. In my opinion, concerns about the thickness of the watch have been overstated. Certainly, if slimness is an *important* criterion for you, this isn't your watch. But you'll have no trouble fitting it under your shirt cuff. [Though the manual cautions that doing so will hamper the solar function.] Even my ridiculously slender wrists support it - physically and (I hope) esthetically - without difficulty.

2. The G-Shock models are advertised as rugged. I'm not about to use mine as a hockey puck to put that to the test. But it certainly *feels* sturdy. [The thickness helps here.] And from what I've read about them elsewhere, they do shrug off a considerable amount of punishment.

3. Everyone's experience with receiving the timekeeping signal from Fort Collins will vary depending on the particulars of their location and the attention they pay to the manual. I live only 350 miles from the transmitter but with modestly sized mountains in between - which can be a dealbreaker. Although it took a longer period of motionlessness for the watch to lock in than the manual had told me to allow, it has received a strong signal ever since. [And keep in mind that the watch is accurate to 15 seconds a month even without synchronization.]

3. When I first unpacked the watch, the battery level was at Medium - which you would expect after it having been in a box for who knows how long. After 3 hours of direct exposure to bright sunlight [which you should do in the early morning to keep the watch from roasting], the battery level has remained High ever since.

4. The four control buttons are slightly recessed - for decreased vulnerability, I imagine. This means you will need to operate them with a directly perpendicular press by the edge of your fingernail, rather than an angled mashing under the meat of your fingertip. I can see why this irritates some people. [It did require a small mental adjustment on my part.] However, I think it was a legitimate design decision.

5. The leftmost of the three circular "gauges" at the top of the display is meant to mimic the sweep of a minute hand on an analog watch. Speaking as someone whose attachment to that visual "pie-slice" style of time reading has been my main reason for sticking with analog watches until now, I think it's a terrific idea. In practice, though, the gauge is too small to be useful for that purpose. [For my eyes, anyway.] However, I don't mind particularly - since I think the three gauges look cool simply as decoration.

6. Someone else commented that the black resin wrist band is not replaceable. I'm not sure if that's true. However, replacing it would be no casual affair. So if you won't be content with this kind of band, you should look for a different watch. I prefer leather bands myself. But this one is in keeping with the toughness of the rest of the watch and certainly comfortable enough to wear.

On the whole, I'm very happy with this purchase. If you enjoy having an accurately set timepiece - and who doesn't? - it's difficult to overstate the satisfaction of radio-synchronization. A good mechanical watch is accurate to 5 seconds a day. A good quartz watch is accurate to less than 1 second a day. As long as it's in signal range, this watch will be accurate to less than 1 second for the next 60 million years [http://tf.nist.gov/cesium/fountain.htm] - or at least until the US government stops broadcasting, at which point you'll probably have other things to worry about. When someone asks you for the time, you will be able to give them *The* time.
