| I m getting too old..., April 11, 2010 |

This review is from: Casio Men' s GW9200-1 G-Shock Riseman Alti-Therm Solar Atomic Watch (Watch)
This watch was my first experiment in the digital chronometer direction, and I really wanted it to work. It didn' t, but it wasn' t the watch' s fault. I' m afraid my senior citizen eyes just aren' t up to the task. Except for the primary display, the characters on the face are too small for me to read, even with my bifocals. I could have read them with a magnifying glass, I suppose, but I didn' t have enough hands to keep the manual open to the right page, operate the watch, and hold a magnifying glass in position. The functions are excellent, and the manual does a good job of explaining how to use them. I would have no difficulty recommending this watch to someone with better eyesight. |

the only cons are:
- inaccurate temperature. it always says its in the 70' s or 80' s even if i wear it out in the 20' s (may as well not even included this feature).
- altimeter. same location has varying readings? i figured the altitude at my apartment shouldn' t change that much from day to day. honestly, who cares what altitude i am at anyway? im not an avid mountain climber. and if i did climb mountains it would be to forget about technology anyways.
- light-up feature. this only last for about 1 second, so if setting your alarm or something, you better just turn on the lights. repeatedly having to press light can be annoying to say the least.
the reason i like the watch despite these imperfections is because it looks cool, i never have to change battery, or adjust the time. the cons which i noticed are not even really used often enough to care. |

a nice, suitable, useful and versatil watch that fits fine, by its low weight and appropriate volume. All the technology assembled in a great reliable brand |

This is my third G-Shock and I am really very happy that I decided to buy this watch. It has got all the features that are available in a typical Casio Pro-Trek and on top of that, it has got the shock resistance as well. It definitely is worth buying.Some people may find it big in size, however it is definitely smaller as compared to a lot of G-Shocks. |

My brother is in the Marine Corps and when I saw his old watch I realized he needed something tough. His old watch had fallen apart due to physical beatings (the face was cracked) exposed to the elements (at the time he was stationed in Arizona)and the band was cracking.
I did research and came across the G-Shock. I read reviews for different models all over the internet and saw a lot of military personnel (both active and retired) give this watch rave reviews. It had the perfect amount of features (not too much, not too little) and wasn' t flashy and followed his dress code for when he wears his Dress Blues and is lighter than it looks.
My brother got it for Xmas 08 and he has no complaints whatsoever. This watch has been subjected to the same abuse as the other (even more now that he is stationed in Afghanistan)and still looks new. The other guys on his base even liked it and went out and bought their own.
My brother says I found the perfect watch and I highly recommend it to others in the military. |

I have been wearing this watch and monitoring its performance for the past 4 weeks and can say that it is definitely worth it, especially if you' re an outdoors enthisiast or just interested in gadgets.
Time keeping is exceptional, having maintained the time to the the exact second for the last three weeks. This may not seem like much to some, however where I live out here in the Caribbean, we don' t receive time calibration signals. That being said, I have monitored the theremometer, altermeter and barometer functions against readings from my local MET office.
The guys were surprised at the level of accuracy on all three functions and while this watch was not intended to replace dedicated equipment for exploring the outdoors, its certainly useful and can provide a decent backup should your primary equipment fail.I' ve noticed that wearing the watch gives a differential of +3 degrees Celcius so I' ve calibrated the thermometer to 3 degrees less to compensate for the difference and is spot on in comparison to my house thermometer. In this way you don' t need to take the watch off for 30 minutes to allow it to adjust, in order to read the ambient temperature accurately.
I' ve used many of the battery demanding functions throught the day and never had issues of the battery running low, bearing in mind that this is an atomic solar watch. Through my daily activities the watch does get some exposure to the sun allowing the battery to be charged up again but definitely no complaints in the power consumption departemnt.
Comfort wise, it fits nicely on the wrist without being overly bulky with a nice wrist presence and slim enough profile. The band design is comfortable and allows for good circulation of air and quick drying of moisture which helps keep your wrist cool and dry.
Weight wise, its a very light watch but build wise it seems to be quite durable and capable of taking a beating.
Overall, this is a good solid and accurate watch for daily wear and I' m sure that you too will be pleased should you decide to purchase one yourself. |
