This Casio G-Shock digital watch offers a stylishly rugged look, world-savvy features ideal for business or adventure, and a durable design. The watch's atomic timekeeping calibrates the displayed time with radio signals to ensure a high level of accuracy, and the tough solar power offers a battery life of approximately 11 months on full charge without further exposure to light. The watch is built with a round stainless steel bezel, stainless steel case, and a stylish stainless steel band with a fold-over push-button clasp. The digital window shows the time in a bold central display, with world time settings for up to 29 time zones (30 cities), daylight savings option, and a city code display. The digital window also conveniently shows the day of the week above and the month and date below, automatically pre-programmed through 2099. The battery power level and calibration signal reception are indicated on the sides. This watch also offers four daily alarms and one snooze alarm, a time recorder, a 1/100 second stopwatch function, and a handy automatic EL backlight with afterglow. Specially designed for shock resistance and water resistant up to 660 feet, this digital quartz powered watch is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

 Super watch December 3, 2008
This is my second one. The battery in the first failed at the 5 year point. Buying a new battery plus shipping and professional installation approach $55. A new one for $20 more is well worth it. This is a great value and product. I highly recommend this watch.
 Bulletproof December 3, 2008
The Casio G-Shock MTG tough solar atomic watch is near bulletproof, and a technological marvel. All for a very small price. I started collecting G-Shocks in 1988 when I worked outdoors using chain-saws, and I needed a tough, accurate watch. My first purchase was waiting 15 miles from where I was dropped off and I forded a stream and got hit by a car to get it. This Casio MTG is my fifth G-Shock, and I swear by them. I've had the MTG for three years and it does a fine job keeping track of my medications, with four timers and a stop watch. It's like something out of science fiction. The only problem I've had is the cheap buttons, two of them broke off because I pushed too hard, a problem corrected by using a pen or small screwdriver. But I'm getting a sixth Casio G-Shock, a newer MTG tough solar atomic watch, for Christmas. Because you can't have too many around.
Highly recommended for those of us with attention to detail traits November 30, 2008
I purchased my Casio MTG900DA a few years ago. I try to be cautious with it but as I am naturally clumsy, it gets it fair share of abuse. It runs great. I grinded it against the bricks on the outside of my home when climbing on the ladder to clean out the dryer vent, but it looks no worse at all. I have yet to scratch the mineral glass.
I downloaded the watch user instructions online as a pdf file. I can enlarge the instructions to easily read the manual... no small print problems for me. I do have trouble sometimes effectively trying to push the buttons because at times some button pushes seem ineffective or not registering while at other times they push fine. I recently went on a 12 day cruise to Alaska, and we changed time zones a few different times from EST. A button push and I was always in tune with the local time.
I do not worry about leaving my watch close to a window. In fact, it is in my bookcase top shelf every night about 12 feet from a window with shades, but its time is right to the second. Every few weeks I may do a manual receive to update it's atomic time, but usually find out it was already accurate. I also check it a few times weekly online with the atomic clocks.
I enjoy the numerous stopwatches it offers, as I time everything... every day to work... stoplights, shortcuts I may take on back roads or at restaurants for the time to receive my meal from when I ordered it ect. I also set all the clocks on the stoves, microwaves and clock radios to it, and try to set them exactly to the second so they all change at the same time. Silly, but hey, whatever rocks your boat.
The multiple and easy to set alarms are great as well, specifically if I have an important meeting at work and I am not near my desk for Outlook to remind me.
If you have anyone whom you would term anal-retentive (I mean that in a good sense), as I pride myself on my attention to detail, This would make a wonderful holiday gift.
Only four stars due to the difficulty in mastering all the features as well as the buttons sometimes being hard to push, this watch is still a keeper and a favorite by far.
Durable, Practicable and Accurate November 17, 2008
I bought this as a present for my autistic brother, who is a fanatic about accuracy on time. This makes him happy, not only because its accurate, but also because it supplies the day of the week and date as well. It makes me happy because its durable and can withstand the shocks of his job, which is very physical. This was very moderately priced for all that it does and was well worth the money.
