I have had the watch for a month now and am happy as can be with it. I live in Portland, OR and find it synchs itself nightly by just placing it in a window. I set it outside on my porch for a couple of hours the day I got it, watched it move from the middle charge to the high, and it hasn't moved off it it. This is despite the fact that I work a swing shift and usually get home around 3AM causing most of my wearing of the watch to be at night.
Learning to use the watch did take some time to sit and actually read the manual (downloaded and read as a pdf rather than the little booklet) and then practice the functions on the watch, but this is not a criticism just a statement.
The only aspects I'm not in love with are: 1. the resin band - I've never really liked them 2. the large inset that tracks the minutes in the hour - This really is redundant, and it seems like this could be removed and the space used to better size/place the other two functional insets.

This watch does exactly what it says it will do. I live in New England and have had no problem receiving the time signal whenever I choose to simply by putting the watch in front of a window as per the instructions. The battery reached full charge the first time I spent time outdoors in the sun and has remained there ever since. Will it hold its charge over the winter? Time will tell but so far I am more than pleased with the piece.

I've had this watch for a little over a month and I'm really satisfied with it. It's good looking, keeps perfect time and has synchronized with Colorado every night since receiving it. The only problem I have is viewing the 3 little dials at the top but I read about it before my purchase.

This watch is great. It look's like a very expensive watch thanks to the gold accent's. Casio gave it a super design functions great nice back light. I would have given it 5 stars but the atomic auto time setting is not working in my current location which is in Portland, Maine. It was working when I left Florida until I hit Maine and now it will not recieve signal, other than that it is a very good watch.

I have used Casio watches ever since they started selling their Databank watches. Their rugged design and reliable electronics have made them a favorite of mine for everyday use. When my last Databank watch lost the lettering on most of its buttons (after over 5 years of constant use), I decided it was time for a new Casio watch.
Since I own a PDA cellphone now, I decided I no longer needed another Databank watch. Instead, I decided to try a G-Shock with atomic clock accuracy - and the solar part was a bonus feature. I love it!! However, if you are new to Casio watches, trying to understand the displays and the button sequences can be a challenge, at first. The solar cells on the watch face limit the font size on the displays, too.
I really like all of the features of this watch, and I would give it five stars - but I noticed Casio really hasn't improved their watchband design after all of these years. Their watchbands are comfortable, but they wear out about a year later (less if you live in cold climates). Afterwards, you either have to buy a replacement Casio band -or- another brand watchband (which lasts longer, but clashes with the looks of the watch).
