Review of Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar Mens Watch GS1100BR-1A

I ordered my watch & it arrived in pristine condition. Upon taking it out of the box, it did not take much light to get it activated. As other people have pointed out previously, the watch is big and the manual is about 40 pages (thickness of manual is due to other languages within manual). At first I was a little confused about the smaller three dials, however going clockwise from top-left to the bottom they are: 24-hour/military time, modes/days of week, and second hand. The large second hand is the stop-watch second hand & is used for other settings, not for counting seconds. This design is obviously to conserve the energy charge on the internal solar-powered battery.

If you know anything about vi in UNIX, the watch modes are the same way. First set the mode that you want the watch to be in, certain dials will move to indicate what mode it is in, then you can adjust the settings.

I had an issue following the alarm clock settings with the manual & could not get it to work. However, I found an Easy Guide to Setting G Shock Giez pdf on Casio's website (use Google to search) which had alarm clock instructions that made it easier to figure out. After that, it was child's play to set the alarm.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase & now I just want to make sure that I don't scratch it or bang it into anything while using it. :)
