Casio Men's GW9000A-1 G-Shock Mudman Solar Atomic Watch

This is my first review on the Amazon facility so, be kind to me. I have had my GW9000 for about 4 weeks now and I'm very happy with it. The solar and atomic features perform as advertised. I love a watch that keeps near perfect time and requires nothing from me except to place it near a window at night. Mine even syncs when I am wearing it. The solar feature works very well also Again, not much for me to do except get it in the sun from time-to-time.

The solar/atomic Mudman is also quite comfortable. The strap is much softer and pliable than that on my old DW6900. Instead of having the stainless steel case back resting directly on the wrist, the Mudman has some little rubber nubs that rest on the wrist. This allows air to pass between the watch back and the wrist making for a cooler more comfortable experience.

The watches timekeeping features are the usual array of date, time, alarms, etc. All in all, a good rugged watch.

Well I've only had this watch a couple of days but so far it's awesome. It is replacing another Atomic G-Shock that served me well. I'm a firefighter/paramedic and it's nice to be able to put on a watch and forget about it and just know that it will be working just fine when I need it. This is solar powered, so no worries about a battery ever dying. One new feature compared to my old G-Shock is the multi-band time sync. Not only does it pick up a signal from Colorado, but if you find yourself in the UK, most of Europe, or Japan it will sync in those locations as well. A count down timer is featured on this watch, which was missing from my old one. One useless (to me) feature of my old watch was the time logger. As far as I can tell, Casio has dropped this pointless option with this new Mudman. Like all G-Shocks, it's built like a tank. G-Shocks are just too tough for me to see myself ever wearing anything else. One word on the price...I was able to find it noticeably...Read more

Casio Men's G-Shock Waveceptor Atomic Solar Mudman Watch #GW9000A-1 is one of the best versatile watches I've ever owned.

I was tired of looking up the time standard since my aesthetically pleasing, expensive dress ETA 2892 Swiss watch wasn't as accurate as I sometimes needed. I'll love it to the grave :-), but I needed some digital to balance out the analog in life.

Mudman's is a gem to own:
-cost 25 times LESS with more functions and less fuss
-200m water resist so I can shower in it
-it's a G-shock, so I don't have to baby it (love its looks, it is no beater)
-atomic sync solar = no batteries or shaking or winding + super accurate perpetual calendar/timekeeper
-5 alarms to carry the day (would have like to be able to change the day though)
-auto backlight - like having a...Read more
