Perfect watch: Particularly for those who travels a lot, July 4, 2008
I purchased this watch couple of Months ago. It works like a charm.
- It is so easy to set up, no need to be a brainer to set this watch
- All alarms function properly
- when I travel all i have to do change the date time group to my new destination and thats it. I get to see the new time zone.
- Physical shape and size of this watch is also good. My wrist is kind of thin however this watch sits perfect on my arm.
- Its sturdy you dont need to worry about damaging this watch.
I LOVE IT.

HOURS of Research paid off! Looks much better than picture!, September 29, 2010
This review is from: Casio Men's G2300-9V G-Shock Classic Watch (Watch)
27 year-old father of 3 loves this watch and has received MULTIPLE compliments because of it
I spent hours scouring the internet, reading reviews on Amazon and other major retail sites, comparing product specs and prices. I was pretty sure I wanted a solar powered watch, but wasn't sure if I also wanted the atomic timekeeping function or not. I decided on this one after reading a few reviews stating that the solar battery in the atomic watches are more likely to have issues. Also, the Atomic watches are more expensive which is a major issue for me at this time (although the price difference is not that much really). This watch is accurate enough that I won't have to worry about it being updated every night.
When I received the watch, I was glad to see that it looks more like the pictures I saw on other sites than the one that is shown on Amazon, which kind of makes the face look blue. In reality the face is black, and only occasionally, it has a slightly blue tint due to the solar cell on the face.
Pros:
Perfect size-Looks rugged without being too bulky
Indestructible-I have 3 kids under 5 so it has already been tested by them. I also know a carpenter who has owned one for about 6 years and said his is still working great, and a jet mechanic who said his had been submerged in jet fuel at one point and it still works like a charm.
Generally comfortable-Can sometimes be a little uncomfortable but I have not worn a watch in years so I think I will adjust to it.
Features- Auto light is great, although I turned that feature off because it does use the battery a little more.
Cons:
None that I can think of!
If you are looking for a sturdy, feature filled, attractive watch that will not require you to purchase batteries every few years (which is often when watches can be damaged or have the water resistance negatively altered) than this watch is probably the one for you.

This watch will last., November 28, 2010
This review is from: Casio Men's G2300-9V G-Shock Classic Watch (Watch)
I have had this watch for 6 years now and during that time a lot of thing have not made it, But this watch has. It has been on 3 Deployments to combat, 24 Dives , 50 some odd jumps and just about every thing en-between. I have been given a lot of watches over that time and will try them for a week or two and I always put this thing back on when it counts. It has Never ran low on battery, Nor had any slip up at all. I do think I will have to put a new band on it some time in the next 4 years. But at that point it will me 10 years old, Now tell me any thing that you can use for 10 years ever day and beat it to hell and back and wont need some up keep. Well If I had to say what was the bast buy of my life this watch wold be at the top of the list.
