This review is from: Casio Men's GW3000B-1ACR G-Shock Solar Power Black With Orange Dial Watch (Watch)
I purchased this watch just a few days ago. Reason? Larger analog G-Shock, Multiband, and Solar with great look and features. I've been waiting for this type of design from G-Shock for a long time. Thank you.
The watch is very light and G-Shock durable. It definitely has the look of a precise aviation instrument. Just like any precise and quality instrument it takes a little bit of time to learn to operate it and get used to the functions. I personally like that the watch does not have any LED backlight. There is no need for it. I must disagree with the previous review. The luminous hands are visible throughout the night. Not as bright as for example Luminox watches, but bright enough to see what time it is.
The stopwatch function is plenty sufficient. If you need a stopwatch up to 24 hours, then you will probably get a different watch for a lot more $$$ and probably not as durable.
The worldtime function works great....can't complain. I personally don't have much use...Read more

INCREDIBLE "HYBRID" WATCH,

This review is from: Casio Men's GW3000B-1ACR G-Shock Solar Power Black With Orange Dial Watch (Watch)
THIS WATCH IS A DIGITAL WOLF IN ANALOG SHEEP'S CLOTHING
Although I'm hardly an expert in the field, this surely must be one of the great, affordable bargains in high-tech timekeeping. The precision of this instrument is astounding, even for one who has run computerized equipment for over forty years. The watch's functions are well-chronicled in documentation and in reviews, along with the frustrations of several reviewers, so I'll focus on aspects of setup which may make the process less painful.
1) Read the instructions. Read them again.
2) Make certain that the watch is charged.
3) Do the setup at a time when the hour and minute hands do not obscure the subdials.
4) Pay attention to the status pointer of the 9 o'clock subdial.
5) As you do the setup, allow the watch time to make its adjustments.
6) Set your respective time zone first.
7) After that, the remainder of the setup and the examination of...Read more

This review is from: Casio Men's GW3000B-1ACR G-Shock Solar Power Black With Orange Dial Watch (Watch)
I'm a huge fan of G-Shock products and the look & design of this watch made it an irresistible addition to my collection. Since the case is entirely comprised of resin & the steel buttons along with the mineral crystal lens are all well recessed within the watch, I don't worry about anything denting or scratching anything off of this watch. There is good attention to detail & build quality from what I have observed. The orange colored features against the black face of this watch make it very readable in daylight. As far as the band, I find resin bands to be more comfortable, durable and less susceptible to failure since there are no parts to bend or wear out. I really enjoy the look & overall character of this watch. Some might consider it to be 'oversized' but it doesn't seem to be huge on my wrist.
Atomic timekeeping & solar power (or equivalent) have become basic requirements for all of my timepiece purchases. The biggest weakness of any "waterproof" or water resistant...Read more
