Nice watch and looks great.
Pros:
Nice look and feel
Comfortable to wear
Has many features
Cons:
LED lights are useless
My watch stopped updating the Atomic time and I cant force it to resume
The face is smaller than I prefer for this type of watch
The digital windows are small and cant been seen at night with the LED light, if it had two LEDs instead of one it would be perfect.
Overall its a solid watch for [...], I dont think I would purchase this watch again now that I know more about the G-shock line. I love the solar and atomic features when it works.

The only "shock" for me is that I could not receive the signal and am sending this watch back to vendor. Could not get watch off Lisbon time which does not help if you live in California. Very disappointing.

I needed a watch that can stand up to nearly everything I throw at it. I wanted it to need little attention from me, so solar power and atomic timekeeping were important to me. This watch has all that and looks good, too. The price is very reasonable for all the features this watch has. Only a few things keep me from giving it a perfect review:
- The hands sometimes cover up the smaller dials, thereby hiding information such as date, alarm time, etc.
- The LED backlight does not illuminate the smaller dials, so reading them after dark is impossible without an external light source
- The bottom small dial is wasted to display information I will never need to know (basically, which continent I'm on)
- I wish it had more than one alarm
In spite of those issues, I love this watch and would buy it again if needed.

EDIT: I am adding a star to the original review. It is now 3-Stars. Please see the edit at the end. Thanks.
The watch itself is decent, for an analog watch. I have to agree with the other opinions that the digital windows are poorly designed. The gray on black combined with how small they are make them almost useless. The LED light feature is also poorly implimented. It uses a tiny amber LED placeed at the bottom of the face as it's light source. This does a poor job at illuminating the face and does nothing to illuminate the tiny digital screens. It is a solid watch that looks good and does most of what it promisses, but not very well.
The major issue I have with the watch is the Atomic timekeeping feature. I own 2 other Casio Atomic watches. One is $60 digital solar G-Shock model and the second is a $50 waterproof Ani-Digi one. Both do great jobs of obtaining a signal aeach morning. The only times they have ever had difficulty were during storms. But this one.. horrible. It is completly unable to obtain a signal. No matter where I am it will not hold a signal. I can take my older watch and get a strong signal and set the watch.. then place this new one in he exact same spot, facing the exact same way, with the face of the watch in the exact same location.. and NOTHING. I've walked around with it to find a strong signal, stopped and held the watch motionless when it found a strong signal.. then poof, the signal is gone and a minute later "ERR". Outside.. nothing. Down the street.. nothing. At work... nothing Nowhere is it able to get a signal even though both of my other Casios have no problem. I am very disapointed.
In the end all I can say is buyer beware. This watch does not seem to be as well implemented any other less expensive Casios.
EDIT: If I could change the star portion of the review I would give the watch 1 more, up to a 3 star product. The Atomic feature still seem to be poorly designed but it is getting signals now. I can not explain why I am getting signals all of a sudden when it wasn't able to, for days, when I first got it. It wasn't the battery, as it was full. It wasn't the weather, as it was clear of any clouds. As I mentioned, my other 2 watches were getting signals. But, now it's working correctly. Go figure. All I can say is that it is still buyer beware. The comments concerning the light and the digital portion of the watch still stand. And my experience with the Atomic feature is that it is inconsistant compared to prior Casio products I have owned.

Great atomic feature. Great appearance.
However, the back of the watch states - Water resistant - 20 bar. The website for CASIO America states 200M. For reference, both of these are over 600 feet of depth.
While diving at 38 ft (note - that's just over 2 bar and about 12 meters) the bottom right button came out and seawater filled the watch.
The watch was sent to CASIO, hoping that they would have pride in their product and replace the watch. They are charging me $47.95 for repairs.
If you plan to get wet, buy a different watch.
