Casio G-Shock MTG900DA-8V Wrist Watch for Men

Pros: Rugged, accurate, water resistant to 200M, not as heavy as it looks.
Cons: Battery replacement could be relatively expensive. "Care and feeding" bothersome.

10/15/07 Update. After using this watch for five weeks, I decided to return it. I believe that Casio has turned this watch into another "Rube Goldberg". Isn't 20 seconds per month accuracy enough? For those who think they need accuracy +/- 1 second ...

Pros: Rugged design, automatic time setting, solar powered
Cons: Huge. Heavy.

The photos don't fully convey how big this watch is. It's massive - big, thick, and heavy. If you buy it online without having seen it in person, you may be surprised as I was. It's not unwearable, but it will certainly look pretty big on your wrist, and ...

Pros: g-shock toughness, solar powered, "atomic", and nice looking watch
Cons: a little heavy, the buttons are small and hard to press, no countdown timer

i've had my old (g-lide model with pull out straps) g for 5 years and i've put it through the shredder...wore it every single time i was doing some kind of a physical activity - snowboarding, surfing, skydiving, hiking, mt biking, lifting weights, not ...

Pros: Accurate, inexpensive. Recessed crystal. High end design. Good match of form and function.
Cons: None

I have had no issues at all with this time piece, the Casio MTG900 G-Shock. The battery has not run down and the meter shows one of three levels to let you see it's condition at any time. Here in Colorado, it is almost always sunny so the solar feature ...

Pros: Stunning time keeping accuracy. Water proof. Solar powered. Rugged.
Cons: Not a fashion or status statement.

I purchased this as a temporary watch while my Rolex is out for repair. For a fraction of the Rolex repair cost, this watch provides stunning time keeping accuracy and does not need to be maintained like the Rolex. It looks reasonably stylish despite it's modest cost. It is waterproof and rugged. I was initially under the impression that you need to place it at a window nightly if you want to receive atomic time updates from Colorado while you sleep, however, the update function works well even if you don't place your watch at a window at night. I will only use my Rolex for formal occasions and as an heirloom. As a time keeping piece, the Rolex is inferior to this watch.

Pros: Beautiful looking watch.  Tougher than expected.  Tilt light is a nice feature.  Love atomic accuracy.
Cons: Battery life is a major disappointment. 

As a owner of G-Shocks for over 15 years I was completely surprised and disappointed when this watch failed after two years.  Rechargeable battery technology is not reliable.  Think about how long a typical laptop battery lasts.  I know several people that have experienced a similar problem with this model.  I would not recommend this watch to anyone.
