Great watch. I have had this watch over a year now. It's practically indestructible. Never needs winding, never needs a new battery and never needs to have the time adjusted -- what more could you want.
My first G-Shock watch lasted 20 years -- I had to replace the batteries twice, but eventually it fell apart. This watch seems way more indestructible than the last one I had and I'll never need batteries. It's the perfect watch for someone who doesn't want to have to worry about a watch.

I chose this watch because it doesn't need a battery (solar-powered) and doesn't need to be set (it syncs to a radio signal every night). I've had it over a year and a half and it's worked fine. The watchband is cheap; if the band were nice I'd rate the watch 5 stars.

I bought this thinking about the daily update to a nuclear clock and solar power to have a watch last longer than four years. This one lasted about four months before it stopped working altogether. I wouldn't buy this watch again.
My Pulsar digital chronograph just died on my after 16 years of dependable service. Electric backlighting, extra alarms (5 vs 3) and the atomic clock sync are an improvement over the Pulsar. In addition, I like that the stopwatch function will keep track of hours. Two time zones are convenient for travel reducing the times to reset the watch. What I don't like about the watch are the little circles in the display showing synching just takes up valuable display space. I would rather they show the day and date together rather than pressing another button to get the missing info. Also the AM/PM indicator is inconspicuous and not where you would ecpect to see it. I bought a display model at JC Penney's (52% off) and noticed that the last synch with the atomic clock was 4 months ago and was off by 2 minutes. when I tried to set it manually, if failed no matter the location nor signal strenght. The automatic synching that occurs at midnight up to I think 4 AM finally worked when I set it and placed it near the window. The battery in the Pulsar would last about 4 years. Given that this is a special battery, if it doesn't last 10 or more years, I would think this is a marketing gimmick. Only time will tell if this watch is worth the premium over cheaper watches that have most of the same functions. I am tempted to try a heart rate monitor watch from ebay for only $10 that has most of the funciton of the Casio.
I've owned lots of watches. Most notably from: Swiss Army and Breitling. But also less expensive ones including one 10 dollar one covered in fake diamonds.
This g-shock is the *only* one that's lasted more than a few months. I've slammed it into metal railings, had 2x4's fall out of a demolished stud wall onto it, and been in pits at metal concerts with it on.
after all of that here's what's wrong: some of the printing on the plastic parts is worn down, seriously, the g-shock logos lost their red paint, omg!!
here's the good: * The band has never broken. or needed replacing. * It keeps trying to get an atomic signal from colorado (i live in virginia) several times a night at 2 , 3, 4, and 5am. and it succeeds some 95% of the time (so long as i don't have it next to electronical equipment or am running around with it at that time). * it flawlessly figured it out when george w. bush changed daylight savings time. * the battery has never needed changing and it's indicator has never dropped from "high" charge. * when i go to a different timezone all i have to do is change the watch's zone during the flight and it's ready to go. * the electronics and lcd face have no scratches and show no wear.
I like the idea of a solar-rechargeable watch, and the synch with the atomic clock is sweet. However, the battery life on this thing is horrible. I have owned it for about 9 months and it went from never really needing any special charging care to only holding a charge for about a day or two.
I only once saw the watch get a full charge, when we were on a week vacation spent out on the lake. Now I have to charge it under a lamp all day long just to get it to half-full charge (which, again, lasts only about a day or two). Even if I leave it under the lamp for a couple days, it won't charge back more than half-full (and it drains just as fast). It just seems ridiculous to have to stick my watch under a lamp for 10 hrs just to get it to work for a few days. What a waste of energy.
No doubt others who own this watch have figured out the trick of hanging it on the lamp shade for charging. It seems to hang there more than I get to wear it. I'm going back to a regular battery.
Also, this watch is big. I mean, I got used to it, but if you don't think you'd like a thick watch, I'd avoid this one.
