Great watch, has no problem syncing with atomic time server, smaller profile than most G shocks. I wear it every day with no problems, also like the solar feature that recharges internal battery. My only complaint is that there are no replacement bands available, at least at this time. I don't need one yet but experience has shown that these type of bands don't last forever and will need replaced at some point. Hopefully, a band will become available by the time I need one. But, don't let that deter you from purchasing this watch, I've very happy with it!

G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch is an excellent timekeeper. Noteworthy is the fact that the screen goes blank when it is in the dark, but as soon as it is exposed to light, the black digits re-appear. It is sometimes difficult to depress the light button, but it is well protected from exposure to any type of moisture. The solar power and the automatic synchronization are both excellent features.
Also like the fact that the buckle has two latches. The band is very comfortable compared to most of the Casio watches that only have a single prong buckle.
The watch is easy for use with time zones. An excellent feature if you have to travel into different time zones. Most important of all is that it lives up to the toughness of the "G-Shock" tradition.

I've been a digital watch freak since the first LED watches went on the market. I've had dozens of LED and LCD watches in the decades since, and this watch definitely is the best so far.
First off, the watch came well-packed by Amazon. They estimated eight days arrival time, I got it two and a half days after I placed my order.
I've been wanting a solar atomic for some time now. I've had solar, but not atomic. I was a little dubious of the reliability of the atomic timekeeping function, both because of spotty customer reviews on some atomic models from various people and also because I have a couple of atomic weather stations that I always have to set manually because I can never get the signal. However, I have yet to experience a problem with receiving the signal with this watch. I have always kept it on a windowsill at night, I have not tried locations away from windows yet.
I have thin wrists and was a bit worried that the watch might look...Read more
