Buy Cheap Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Tough Solar Digital Sports Watch #G2800B-1V


Buy Low Price From Here Now

Take to the streets or the bike trails with the Casio G-Shock men's digital sport watch (model G2800B-1V), which is solar-powered--charging in either sunlight or indoor light--so you'll never have to deal with changing the battery. Light enters the watch through the sapphire crystal and dial, and hits a solar cell beneath the dial. Current is created and stored in the battery. It also features a 30-page databank that allows you to store phone numbers and other valuable contact information (8 characters for name and 12 characters for telephone number). For timing your sports training sessions, it offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 100-minute measuring capacity and elapsed time, split time, and 1st/2nd place time modes as well as a 24-hour countdown timer.

Sleekly stylish, it has a large, round black resin case that's complemented by a silver top ring and a black resin strap that tapers as it winds around your wrist. Timekeeping features include four independent daily alarms (with one snooze alarm), an optional hourly time signal, world time from 29 time zones/27 cities, year/month/date/day display (with an autocalendar to the year 2039), and a battery power indicator. It also offers a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight.

 "Poor,Poor,Poor" 2009-11-27
By Joel Verbrugge
I bought this watch to replace a worn out,super, now collectors item Casio TS-100 [815]. For the first three months this watch performed quite well. Then it quickly and steadily went sour. Basic functions like beeps and lighting would send the watch into "recover" mode. Now even with NOTHING running it needs to be exposed to bright light for 2 hours or more a week to simply not reset, yes reset. I'm wondering is it really Saturday morning 12 A.M? This watch is truly flawed. The solar recharge system is highly inefficient.I bought this watch for its 5 alarms, now I cant even use one. If that wasn't enough the excess band holder is way too large, I couldn't even count how many times it came out.

By Y. Lee (San Marcos, CA United States)
Tough solar ?

Forget it, this watch is so weak on battery, it shut itself down quickly no matter you put it under the sun for long hours.

Casio won't help, please research other's opinions.. not just mine.

 "SOLAR BATTERY CHARGING PROBLEMS" 2008-10-27
By J. Nakawatase (LA, Calif)
I PURCHASED THIS CASIO SOLAR WATCH 14 MONTHS AGO. ALL THE BLOGS YOU READ ABOUT SOME OF THE CASIO SOLAR WATCHES HAVING BATTERY ISSUES ARE TRUE. THE SYMPTOMS START WITH HITTING EITHER THE LUMINISCENT BUTTON OR THE MODE BUTTON AND THE WATCH WILL GO INTO A RECOVERY MODE. AFTER IT GOES INTO A RECOVERY MODE THE LIGHT FUNCTION AND ANY FUNCTION THAT REQUIRES A BEEP (LIKE THE ALARM OR SIGNAL FUNCTIONS WILL NOT WORK) UNTIL THE RECOVERY MODE STOPS. THE MANUAL SAYS THAT RECOVERY MODE SIGNIFIES THAT THE BATTERY NEEDS CHARGING EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY INDICATOR SHOWS A FULL CHARGE ON THE BATTERY. I HAVE CHARGE THIS WATCH IN SUNLIGHT FOR DAYS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. NEXT I REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH HOPES THAT MY WATCH HAD A DEFECTIVE BATTERY WHEN PURCHASED, UNFORTUNATELY THE NEW BATTERY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE ATTENTION TO THE BLOGS ON THE NET THAT OWNERS OF CASIO SOLAR WATCHES HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH NO TECHNICAL SOLUTION FROM CASIO. I HAVE OWNED G-FORCE WATCHES FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY ONLY CASIO'S. I THOUGHT A SOLOR WATCH THAT DIDN'T NEED BATTERY REPLACEMENT FOR MANY YEARS WOULD BE A WELCOME BENEFIT. MY ADVICE IS BE CAUTIOUS WHEN MAKING A DECISION ABOUT THE SOLOR MODELS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH. I HAVE DISCARDED MY CASIO SOLAR AND PURCHASE A NEW CASIO G SHOCK MODEL G2900F1V WITH A 10 YEAR BATTERY. WHEN A BATTERY WILL LAST 10 YEARS WHO NEEDS SOLOR ANYWAY

 "Casio Solar Sports Watch" 2008-07-14
By Rick Contreras (San Jose, CA)
First, let me say this is one of two identical watches I purchased. The first runs like a champ! The second one has issues. I gave the first watch to my dad and it runs like a house-afire. The one I kept for myself goes blank; resets itself and sometimes fails to respond to commands. I don't know why this is but it'll have to go back to Casio for service.

By Anne G. Davis (Irvine, CA United States)
This is a great watch. It is large, easy to read, accurate, and best of all, solar-powered, eliminating the need to change a battery. The atomic time function works well, so I never have to worry about setting or resetting the time. I would highly recommend this watch for any woman who wants a rugged, tough yet elegant looking timepiece.

 "Dressy/Stainless version of the Mudman GW9000A-1" 2009-09-14
By Mr. Scott A. Webb (Federal Way, Wa)
This watch is the same as the Mudman GW9000A-1 except for a metal case and band/plastic plated to look like metal instead of the GW9000's heavy black resin bezel and band.

This makes for a very versatile, tough, and fully featured watch that looks more dressy than the Mudman. I've read that the plating (or is it painted) on some of the plastic can wear down to show the plastic underneath, but I've seen no evidence of that at all. On the contrary, my watch has seen the some of the same abuse that killed my non-Gshock watches and has come through w/out a scratch.

It has a great feature set. If you've ever had a Casio, you know how easy they are to learn to use. A feature I didn't think I needed, but have come to love is the auto el feature. It automatically flashes the light on for just over a second if you look at the watch in the dark.

This watch is also cool because you can see the time of day when in in countdown timer mode.



This is a great watch if you want: solar charging, atomic time setting, world time, stopwatch, and countdown timer with a light. You can't go wrong with this watch. Looking for something more blue collar? Try the GW9000A.

I looked and searched even the Casino web site for the features that I needed. This watch fits them all. I like to wear this watch even more than my Tag. You could not go wrong with this watch.

 "Nice, sporty watch that does its job well" 2009-06-29
By wrxsting (SF Bay Area)
I wanted a relatively lightweight watch to wear for playing tennis and other outdoor activities. This one seemed to fit my criteria.



Pros:

- very lightweight compared to my Omega

- smallest of most of the mens G-Shock watches (for my small wrist)

- solar-powered

- atomic time-keeping



Cons:

- side buttons somewhat difficult to access (but that could be a good thing)

- more expensive (on Amazon) than the other G-Shock watches even though the retail price is the same as the others ($150)



Overall, a very nice watch for the price.

This is a nice & cool watch. like any other Casio watch it gives accurate time. The auto time sync feature is really cool & it works perfectly. But I had hard time setting it up to work for the first time. It syncs with the atomic time only in the mid night & my watch did it in the third night :). There after it does it automatically I do not monitor it any more.

Casio has been my favorite watch since they started making them. I've had them most of my life. However, it seems that all the one's coming out now have such a low sound on the alarms or for chimes for on the hour is useless. You would have to have the thing next to your ear to hear it. If you were asleep, forget it. I love everything else about their new line. Everything works great but that. Too bad as it was the real deal breaker.

 "Nice watch with band issue" 2009-08-05
By L. Ott
The face of the watch is very nice and the time is in big print. The date maybe hard to read for people with poor vision because is small. I can read it but don't my parents could without glasses. My watch had no issues with syn with the radio signal. The only complaint (why 4 not five stars) is that I have is the band seems cheap, although is secure to the watch well. I am used to the g-shock bands so it maybe just be different. I will wait a few days but will most likely replace the band at walmart. In all I am very happy with the watch for the price.

 "Great watch" 2009-06-17
By J. Aceti (Washington Crossing, PA)
Having used this watch for about six months I can say it is very dependable, durable and a great value. Living in PA unfortunately does not allow the atomic clock syncronization to take place - apparently we are too far from the Colorado timing source. Also dispite my advanced degress - getting this watch to do anything other than tell time is always a refferal back to the operator's manual.

By John N. Schear (Roanoke, Virginia United States)
About two years ago I bought the GW300 which is similar to this one. Every morning at 5:03 since then the watch seeks a signal from the satellite and updates the time. The watch has been through the toughest tests one can imagine and it keeps on humming. Accurately, too. While a bit bulky compared to a regular wristwatch it has been packed with almost every tool you can imagine except a GPS. When I am ready for a new Casio it will be the G-Shock variety such as this one advertised, the G7300.

Casio Men's Amazon Exclusive Reverse LCD Atomic Pathfinder Watch #PAW1300Y-1VCR

Buy Cheap Casio Men's Amazon Exclusive Reverse LCD Atomic Pathfinder Watch #PAW1300Y-1VCR


Buy Low Price From Here Now

Explore. Inform. Conquer. Featuring sporty style and a durable design, the Atomic Pathfinder is much more than a watch, it's an advanced tool for use in the great outdoors. This Amazon Exclusive is equipped with many high-tech sensors to help you observe nature and monitor its continuous changes.

Atomic Timekeeping for Superb Accuracy
The Pathfinder provides micro-second accuracy with multi-band atomic timekeeping that picks up a time calibration signal from anywhere in the world and updates the watch's settings automatically. The Pathfinder features five daily alarms, a countdown timer, and an hourly time signal. The world time function includes 29 time zones (30 cities), a city code display, and a daylight saving on/off function. The automatic calendar is pre-programmed to the year 2099.

Tough Solar Power Eliminates Need for a Battery
You'll never have to worry about changing the battery thanks to the Pathfinder's Tough Solar technology. The battery is automatically charged by light, both indoor and outdoor. The Pathfinder has a solar cell and a special rechargeable, secondary battery that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The watch will perform for five months on a single full charge.

Automatic Electro-Luminescent Display for Easy Viewing
The watch's read-outs can be viewed in any light, thanks to the Pathfinder's automatic, EL (electro-luminescent), adjustable backlit digital display with afterglow. Two high-intensity LEDs make the face exceptionally bright, and an auto light means that when you tilt the Pathfinder toward your face, the LEDs automatically light up for nighttime viewing.

Barometer, Altimeter, and Thermometer Readings
With the Pathfinder's barometer, you can predict changing weather patterns as they occur around you. The barometer takes readings every two hours and stores them automatically, graphically displaying the barometric pressure from the past 26 hours. The display ranges from 260 to 1,100 hPa (7.65 to 32.45 inHg) with changeovers from hPa to inHg.

The watch's altimeter can help you gauge the time you'll need to reach the summit. The altimeter checks and displays the altitude every two minutes and stores readings with the temperature every 15 minutes. The graphing function positions you with respect to your target altitude, while an alarm alerts you as you approach your mark. You can record up to 40 sets of data with each record, displaying the month, date, and time. The altimeter's measuring range is from -700 to 10,000 meters (-2,300 to 32,800 feet).

The Pathfinder also features a built-in thermometer that displays and checks the temperature every five minutes. The display can be converted from Celsius to Fahrenheit and measures temperatures from -10 to 60 degrees C (14 to 140 degrees F). So whether you're hiking through the Grand Canyon or snowshoeing in the Rockies, the Pathfinder has you covered.

Sporty, Durable Design
This sports watch is durably designed with a stainless steel case, round black resin bezel, durable mineral crystal, and black resin band with a secure buckle clasp. Buttons flank the bezel and allow easy access to the watch's sensors. Yellow and white concentric stick indexes on the watch bezel indicate barometric pressure, receiving capability, battery power, and more. The black dial changes with each mode and provides easy-to-read recordings, including graphs and tables. This timepiece is powered by Japanese-quartz movement and is water-resistant to 330 feet (100 M).

I was looking for a sturdy, solar-powered, atomic-controlled watch with all the little gadgets I enjoy on a digital watch (stop-watch, alarm, 2nd time zone, countdown, temperature, compass, barometer, altimeter). This one does the trick. It is light and not too big on my mid-sized wrist.

The compass and the thermometer need to be calibrated to be accurate!

 "amazing package" 2009-09-15
By STEVEN RAGNAR
This watch takes the best characteristics from the rest of the pathfinder line and incorporate it into a functional timepiece.

It was only a matter of time until casio made the reverse lcd (black-face). The face is easy to read with large numbers and the functions are easy to access without having to keep switching. The watch is the thinnest of the line, so far, and also incorporates the count-down timer. The compass will need calibration when received, very easy to do. The temperature is also very accurate, when the watch is not worn on the wrist. One thing that I havent seen in these other reviews is that in this watch, unlike other casio solar powered watches, is the light receives its power from the solar cell, which is convenient. The other casio watch I had received its power from a seperate battery. Band and the case are good quality. I've had the watch for three months, no problems. very good investment for outdoor people.

 "Decent Watch" 2009-08-30
By T.C. (Visalia, CA)
The main reason I purchased this watch was because it was unique with the all black features and that it was slimmer and had a smaller diameter than other Pathfinders. So far, I'm not impressed. I CAN NOT HONESTLY SAY THE HIGHER PRICE IS WORTH IT. When I received the watch, it had no power whatsoever. At first I thought it might be defective, but after reading the manual, it states that after a period of time without light, it will completely shut down and need to be recharged. I've had the watch on either a window sill directly in sunlight or outside directly in sunlight for the past four days and it still has not charged completely. The quality of the watch is questionable. The bezel material is a soft plastic and that will take a majority of the abuse. I think I would rather have it be made of steel or a harder plastic. It looks and feels like a cheap $10 watch from Wal-Mart. I doubt it will hold up to the same type of beating as the PAG40 that I owned. I'm going to give it another couple days and see how it goes. If I'm going to spend this much money on a watch, I will probably consider a different Pathfinder.

I've owned a Pathfinder PAG40 but it finally died so I can honestly compare the two. The PAG40 took a lot of beating and the batteries lasted a lot longer than advertised. I got used to the overall size of the PAG40 and I have just a medium sized wrist. Although I do admit it was tight under certain long sleeve shirts with the watch on but that's because of it's thickness. It looks like Casio has made all the other Pathfinders slimmer than the original PAG40. The 1300 series is about the size of my other watch (Invicta Pro Diver) in diameter and thickness.



UPDATE: The watch is finally fully charged after over 5 days. For being fully charged, the display is very dim. Lower light conditions will be a challenge with this watch. If you are interested in the 1300 Series Watch, I suggest getting the other models with the regular display. I will be returning this watch for another model.



UPDATE: I decided to return the watch to Amazon and just waiting for my refund. I since then decided to purchase the PAW1500T-7V and I love it. Yes, it is a titanium band, not synthetic, which I was little unsure of due to the fact it's not adjustable to what I'm wearing, but I am not disappointed. If I want to change the band out for an adjustable plastic band, I still can. It is very rugged, light weight, and still smaller than the original PAG40, but bigger than the PAW1300 series. A very sexy watch for those who like the larger diving watches. Another benefit is that I didn't have to wait a week to charge it up. It was fully charged when I received it. I found it cheaper at [...] compared to amazon but that is because it is a clearance item. Very fast shipping especially if you are on the west coast. Other than that, you probably won't find it cheaper anywhere else.
