Everything I could want in a watch, and is my new favorite.
After 6 weeks of ownership, I really, really like this watch. The resin band is comfortable, the notches are close enough for a good fit, and it is not excessively long; nor is the module itself too large or thick for my small wrists. The many features are easy to learn, useful, and usable - and quite customizable regarding connection with time broadcast, lighting, hourly chimes, 12/24 hr, and motion-activation of its backlight. The solar charging eliminates battery changes, and the charge lasts quite long. I am mostly in a low-light environment but it always, so far, indicates a "High" state of charge despite my frequent use the chrono, timer, alarms, chimes, and light. Whether low light, bright light, or dark, the display is very readable with good contrast - including while using the electrolum. I like the arrangement of information, accuracy (an obsession with me), fit, feel, and appearance. Furthermore, it's a G-shock. Also, though in many locations I'm sure the manual is correct and I'm just lucky near Louisville, KY, the nightly radio connection does not require me to take it off and leave it in one particular window facing west with no metal nearby - in fact, I almost never take it off and my reception signal strength is always highest and successful.
I own several watches, and in a way I'm glad my Timex digital (with velcro band, and great display & features, has terrible time-keeping as it forced me to look elsewhere if I wanted a digital. I'm very happy with it, and this 40-year old dad is still driving his daughter nuts by pointing out how awesome it is. She even knows the city of the broadcast. :) Would not hesitate to buy again if I were to lose it.Read full review
