Perfect for your active lifestyle, this Casio G-Shock men's digital sport watch (model GW002KA-3V) is solar-powered and wirelessly receives atomic time updates. This powerfully styled watch features a durable dark gray resin case and polyurethane strap. It offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity as well as four independent daily alarms (with one snooze alarm), world time from 30 cities, and an autocalendar (to the year 2039).
And because it's solar-powered--charging in either sunlight or indoor light--you'll never have to deal with changing the battery. Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for recreational scuba diving. This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter.
You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock..

First g-shock that looks like a fine timepiece
Author's Rating:
I have several digital watches and even the "classic" casio g-shock, but this is the first g-shock that looks well made. When I look at it, it reminds me of a top of the line Nikon or Canon SLR Camera. Both watch and camera are well designed, purpose built devices with no glitz. The bits and pieces, including the plastic ones, have been put together in a simple, direct manner without the cheesiness that one comes to expect from digital watches. The band has a very good feel to it, as if it was more than an after thought. The lettering on the watch face is in clear white letters in a simple font. The buttons are slightly recessed and are imbued with enough color contrast to the surrounding housing to be recognizable without calling too much attention. The case of this rugged watch is fairly large and not for the timid, but because of the dark well rounded body, it does'nt call too much attention to itself. In other words, it looks like a well made tool rather then a computer chip embedded in cheap plastic. Congradulations Casio this is the first g-shock that doesn't look as if it belongs on some video game character!

I really like this watch. It just feels right and looks great.
Just had a few issues catching the atomic signal in some areas.
Recommended.

Had this watch for about 2 months now wearing it daily. The nylon mesh is sewn onto the resin core of the band. But it doesn't soak up sweat and hasn't stained yet. Still looks new. The atomic time keeping, solar recharging pretty much makes it maintenance free. I like the stopwatch - it counts the hours as well as minutes, seconds, 1/100th of a second. Highly recommended.

I just received the watch in India, today. As soon as I opened the packaging - I could not help but look at this fine piece of beauty. I must admit I had checked reviews on the Internet for this piece for almost a year. The problem was that living in India, no one was willing to ship it here. That's when I found vPOSTAsia. Anyone living far away where shipping from US merchants is a big issue - try vPOST, you won't regret it!
As far as the watch is concerned, it looks NEAT. It has all the featuers one would actually look forward to in a watch, without any of the hanky-panky stuff. The watch band is very different - its made of a resin-rubber material with a bucke like normal G-Shock watches. I will try put up an image of the band.
So, if you're in two minds about this watch - I suggest that you stop thinking and go get it!!!

I would give it 6 stars if I could.

I bought this as a gift for a loved one and she loves it! Yes, it's a little big for a woman, but she's a teacher and needed all the stuff that it can do, plus she wanted a watch that would never die or need to be reset. When we received it, she put it on and I started reading the instructions and we discovered that it did so much more than we even knew about! You can set it so that the light automatically comes on when you tilt your wrist to look at the time, but it doesn't come on all the time when you are moving, because it knows when it is in just the right position... it's not a motion sensor it's a position sensor. It has something like 24 city world time... you just push a button and it shows you what time it is in Hong Kong, or Moscow, etc. I can't even think of all the stuff it has(stopwatch, timer, etc). The point is, we were completely satisfied with this purchase and THEN SOME! One of the rare purchases I've made that turned out to be better than what I expected. The retailer got it in the mail very fast and we received it within a couple days of ordering it.

Great watch with tiny sound.

I love CASIO watches. My 7-year old watch just went to sleep for the last time. The features of this watch: Auto everything, made my day.
I love the "Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping" The watch was pre-set when I got it and the time is still solid as a rock. Never again will I have to wait for CNN to begin to set my watch. I'm sure (after having another Casio) that the watch will work for years without loosing a second.
Being solar-charged is its second advantage. My last Casio lasted through three battery changes, this one all I have to do is occasionally bring it out to a light.
It has a neat little countdown timer. So if I want to spend 30 minutes on the computer, it tells me when I'm done.
There is also a stopwatch. It is your basic stopwatch but it's useful.
There are a couple dozen time zones, so if I want to know the time in Japan or Italy I can find it. But I haven't left the Pacific Time Zone for ten years.
The reason I only gave it three stars is the soft volume of the alarm. My last Casio was loud enough to wake me up. This one is barely audible. Most of the time any slight background noise is enough to cover the alarm. I use the alarm to take my pills. My last Casio with its alarm was literally my lifesaver, this one with its so-called alarm may or may not be as effective.
I highly recommend this watch to people who want a precision time piece. If you want it for its alarms, get something else.

Battery For Life!
Author's Rating:
I owned one other Baby-G watch that lost its battery life prematurely. I bought this watch for sport and casual wear. The band has unusual grayish-olive cast to it and the face readouts are clear. It is set up nicely for modal changes and the buttons are sensitive. But the best part is the long lasting (dare I say infinite?) life of its battery. It is charged by solar light and it saves the charge when put in a dark place. It keeps accurate time by resetting itself via a satellite signal from Colorado. How "green", not to mention cool, is that?

Excellent

Works pretty good, but when try to synchronize to obtain the real time, needs to be in a place without any type of interference so thats impossible inside a city, but is a awesome watch.

All functions are working perfectly. Looks good too. The layout of the screen could be designed to utilize the space more efficiently, but oh well, I guess you can't have everything.
