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.

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.

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.

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

I like the watch. It is easy to use. I also like the lumination when you tilt the watch toward yourself in the dark.

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.
