I have had one of these for almost 3 years now, no problem except for the band cracking and breaking, well I bought a replacement band, hopefully I get it very soon and put back on my watch :)

1.0 out of 5 stars inadequate charging system/faulty, November 30, 2006

I have had 2 of these watches in the last 2 yrs. After about 6 months, it started going into recovery mode, which means it needs some type of light source to charge the battery. Well, I had put it in direct sun light, 2 days in a row, 4 hrs each day. According to Casio, this is more than enough light to charge this battery. Well, it did not work out. I sent it back within warranty, they said they had reprogrammed it, or something. Got it back and within a couple months, it did the same thing. They then sent me a new watch. Now, about 6 months later, it is doing the same thing and I am basically screwed. A new watch does not come with the original warranty.
What I am assuming, is either I got back the same watch with a different, charged battery and it slowly drained because the solar cell does not work, or it need a tremendous about of light to keep it functioning. Oh yes, I did not over use the functions of the watch, and yes, I did keep it in the sleep mode, which keeps the watch blanked out to conserve energy.
My advice, stay away from this piece of junk, and probably all of Casio's solar time pieces.

After less than a year the battery stopped recharging. I left it out in the sun for two days hoping I could recharge the battery. After it stopped charging correctly I could not get it to work for more than an hour at a time. I would definitely not recommend this watch.
