This multi-band radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from several locations across the globe (the U.S. and Japan), and it has an auto receive function (up to 6 times per day). You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock.

In the past, I was a watch collector and rotated among wearing several watches depending upon my activity (work, sports, etc.) and mood (dress, casual, quirky). Since I purchased this watch several years ago on Amazon, I've pretty much abandoned my other watches and wear this one exclusively. It's comfortable, easy-to-read, and looks great for both business and casual wear. It's also the lowest maintenance watch I've ever owned. Because it's solar-powered, I've never had to mess with replacing the battery. And with its atomic clock capability, I've never had to mess with adjusting the time, especially when Daylight Savings Time rolls around. When my wife and I spent two weeks in England last fall, I kept the analog set to our "home" time and used the digital inset for UK time (it is easy to toggle between different time zones in digital mode). Finally, even after wearing it...Read more 37 of 40 people found the following review helpful: By Jimmy Boy (PA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Casio Men's WVA430J-1 Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch (Watch) If you are interested in purchasing a Solar Powered Atomic Watch, then this is the watch of your dreams. I simply love this watch!! Over the course of time, I have owned many watches, but this one by far is a keeper. I love it so much, that I am going to purchase another one as a backup. I hadn't worn a watch for quite some time, so when I received my new watch, I accidentially bumped into the door latch as I was turning and put a scratch on the black outer coating of my new watch. I was very upset with myself, but it was my own fault. Low and behold after a few days, the scratch disappeared and is no longer visible. Apparently the outer epoxy type material helps keep the watch semi indestructable. The accuracy is amazing, and once I reached HIGH on the battery charge, any normal light exposure (indoors or out) will keep the battery charged. Here is a tip for you, if you have a compact flourescent desk lamp, let the watch soak up all that light...Read more 41 of 47 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Casio Men's WVA430J-1 Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch (Watch) I purchased this watch as a birthday present for my son; after less than three months we noticed that there was a lot of moisture inside the case (the crystal was undamaged and the watch is supposed to be waterproof down to 330 feet). It was never even underwater, the moisture was noticed after a rainstorm in which the watch did get wet (but not underwater, much less 330+ feet). Sent watch along with Amazon receipt to Casio and they want $46.44 to repair it (it's supposedly under a 1-year warranty). Be advised! |
