I've thoroughly enjoyed wearing this watch. Though it's a little thicker and bulkier than its predecessor, the added atomic timekeeping makes it well worth the added size. It's easy to read, and the automatic light (tilt your wrist to look at your watch and it lights up automatically) is a phenomenal feature. The strap is durable and has a metal clasp, and the watch face is slightly recessed below the rim of its bezel, which seems to protect it from most bumps and scratches. Out of a vast array of watches, atomic timekeeping and the automatic light make this Casio stand out from the crowd.
I almost forgot to mention - the solar panels on the watch face mean you'll never have to change the battery. As long as the watch is exposed to a decent level of sunlight (or florescent light), it'll keep a charge. There's a little battery indicator on the watch face, but it's nothing to worry about; just wear it and it'll charge. At night, if you take the watch off, it's got a power-saving feature where if it doesn't detect motion (I have no idea how it does this, but it seems like magic) for a set period of time, the watch face shuts off to save power. When you put it on in the morning or if you keep it on your wrist, it'll turn on and stay on. It's rather neat.

First of all, the signal doesn't reach Hawaii, even though I've read that it should (in a certain time of day), second, I could never figure out how to get the signal when I was on the mainland (Cali, Nevada, Oregon).. But it's not the worst part. The battery died on me after about 7 months of use. Mind you, it is solar-powered and I live in &@#$^%# HAWAII!!! The only good thing it was not that expensive.. I will try putting it out on the sun tomorrow for like the whole day, and maybe it will charge a little. Still.. highly disappointing.

I had seen people review this model watch, solar powered/atomic clock setting at the lowest price point, and was amazed by the claims that it was difficult to set. If you are satisfied to have it display the time in your time zone it is fairly easy to do. But the difficulty is in the setting of the 12/24 hour time and DST On/Off/Auto, in that it does not respond much of the time to a press of the appropriate button. If you are persistent you will succeed, but if you are easily frustrated find some one to help you.
It is truly simple for simple settings, so do not fear this watch, and if you are in range of an atomic clock over most of the world it will do the job simply and reliably after adjustment.
Another small point: this watch has a fairly long buckling band on it, and it fits my 8.5 inch wrist rather well, with room to spare, about 9" max, i'd guess, and no hassle with adding segments to a stainless steel bracelet. (the band is an industrial plastic of a type similar to the Remington plastic rifle stocks they are currently making. Not beautiful, but strong enough.)
So on the basis of fit, it gets a five, my wrist has an indentation from a former watch that had two additional links inserted, on the basis of ease of use, it gets 3 out of 5, with the caveat that it can indeed be difficult to set, to the owner's satisfaction. For strenght and appearance it is a 4/5 now and may rise higher over time, since it is solar/light powered, it needs no batteries, you do need to replace the seals in the watch every 2 or 3 years to keep it water proof to a mfger 330 ft rating. All in all a true bargain. If it lasts 2 years it is still a 4 out of 5, if it lasts longer it will go up accordingly...

Some time ago I have sworn that I will only use solar-powered watches that synchronize time with atomic clocks. Initially only quite expensive and 'stylish' models were available, but wearing a timepiece worth several hundred bucks while doing work around the house makes you constantly worried that you scratch precious thing.
This watch is under $100 and has all the benefits of its more expensive 'brothers':
- Solar powered quite efficiently - with normal daily exposure to light I'm always at the 'max charge' level (of course living in sunny Nevada helps here).
- Time synchronization with the 5 radio transmitters all over the world (USA, England, Germany, Japan*2). I frequently travel to visit family in Europe, so USA and England/Germany transmitter sync is important to me. Many watches in the US only sync with USA transmitter or USA and Japan; the latest models just started supporting new China transmitters; this one is the perfect balance for me.
- Time signal reception is excellent in Nevada, bot inside the buildings and outside. From my previous experiences it should mean good reception throughout the West Coast and (maybe!) some problems inside solid-construction buildings in New England and Florida.
- Unlike some cheap models of watches and clocks, this one reads Daylight Savings Time data straight from the radio signal, so it 'springs ahead' and 'falls back' at the correct dates. Some older clocks have hard-coded DST transition dates and are confused after the recent DST changes in the USA.
- I love 'Auto EL' feature: the watch turns on Electro-Luminescent backlight for two seconds when it is dark and the wearer positions hand appropriately. Perfect for the movies, night flights and similar situations.
- I usually prefer metal bands, but resin band in this model is surprisingly good quality and wears OK.
- Button operation seems to be reliable so far.
- The glass is scratch resistant and placed recessed in the metal panel - so far I managed to keep it clear, which is unusual for me.
Amazon had the best price for this item, better than Fry's and Casio website. The watch arrived on time and in good shape.
