While I was waiting for the watch to come in, I saw it on sale for $130 at a local Macy's.

The watch doesn't take that long to charge. I placed it between the blinds in my window before I went to sleep, and I woke with a fully charged G-shock. Haha! Get it?

Seriously, the watch looks great and it's not as bulky as I expected. It goes with most outfits. For me it's a trendy but modest watch that I can wear just about anywhere. The lighting in the picture is darker than the watch actually looks in normal light in case anyone is wondering.

Yes the buttons are stiff. If you're somebody's track coach I wouldn't recommend this one, but other than that, this is one of the coolest of the G-shock classics. My only gripe is that I wish it had the atomic receiver.

This watch was exactly as I expected it to be. It is very simple and easy to use. The watch appears to be very durable, and the band extremely tough. The frame of the watch is a fairly large though, so if you are expecting a smaller frame this is not the one. In fact it is just as big on my wrist as my Casio Pathfinder that has Temp, alt, bar, and compass. The backlight is very bright. The watch itsself appears to use very little power because it is alway on a full charge. I love this watch and have no complaints.

Really tough. Just put it in you wrist and forget. It will survive almost anything, will probably outlive you. Many people asked me if I got it from the army, because of the desert camouflage.

Sturdy, different look. I like the solar charging aspect. Buttons are a little awkward to use but perhaps thats my fingers.. Great watch though.

This is a great watch. It was bigger than I expected it would be but it looks great on my wrist. Anyone with small wrists or those who don't like watches with big faces should steer clear of this product. I have received many compliments about this watch due to its unique camouflage appearance. The solar function to recharge the battery works perfectly. This is my fourth Casio watch in my ever expanding watch collection and it is now one of my favourite watches.

I like this watch, but I don't love it and here's why: (1) The buttons are so stiff it's often difficult to use them, and (2) The alarm isn't loud enough to be any use (one of the main reason's I got the watch), and there is no way to adjust the volume up.
