Review: The Best Watch I've Ever Owned - I've been on something of a lifelong quest to find the 'perfect' watch. I put it down to being bitten by the watch bug and becoming a collector. But the truth is, I've never quite found anything that ticks all the boxes. Until now! This G-Shock has it all. It looks great, it feels robust, it's easy to read, it has a notch on the strap so that it doesn't slip past the keeper, it sets itself to the correct time every night, and it shouldn't ever run out of battery. The size is great too. I thought it might be too chunky, but it wears really well. If you can wear a DW5600, then you can wear this. It definitely has more presence than the 5600, but it's not really too different in terms of wearability. And ok, this isn't a dress watch, so it technically doesn't do it all, but I don't need to have a dress watch 99% of the time. Even if I wore a blazer or something smart-casual, the GWM500A-1 would probably be perfectly fine. So if you want something with lots of wrist presence, great functionality, great looks and great comfort, I would highly recommend this G-Shock.
Review: Most Affordable USEFUL Smart Watch - This is just the best G Shock for the money. Casio has a near home run, but for the price I'd have to rate it as a Grand Slam. Yeah the three circles on the top are annoying, but compared to other models the time is larger and the date quite legible. Mine came fully charged, and I have worn it constantly. The stopwatch is very useful, and so is the count down time. I wear it with my Orient Orange Mako, which is an outstanding automatic diving watch but like all automatics runs fast (or slow). The Casio I use to keep it in time, and to supplement the timing dial on the Orient Bezel. This is more useful than you might imagine, particularly if you are timing several things cooking, The calendar is handy too when you get odd months with only 30, 29, or 28 days -- you can reset your main watch. With solar I can avoid the costly battery changes -- making the seals fit watertight is the main cost and can easily run $35 or more. I really prefer Analog Watches for daily timekeeping, but the Casio is light enough and not too oversized to wear on my other wrist without any problems. Regarding the Atomic Time Keeping. I have NOT been able to get it to automatically sync overnight. No matter what window I put the watch in. However, from say, noon onwards I have no problem in the outside syncing the watch manually to the signal from WWV (Fort Collins) or WWB (Hawaii). Having used a portable shortwave radio, I know from experience that in Orange County, California, I get a horrible signal in the evening and early morning, but quite good from around noon onwards to about say maybe 8 pm in the Summer and 6 pm in the Winter. The trick is to find an open and flat area, make sure you are getting L3 (highest signal), and wait about five minutes as the watch syncs. I've been doing this ever day and have had no problems. [Note I was unable one day to sync in hilly Brea/Placentia, worked fine as soon as I drove to Orange -- I suspect hills might be a problem]. I sometimes have to just angle the watch minutely to change from L1 (weakest) to L3 (strongest). Smart Watch? The Casio G Shock Resin Solar is a Smart Watch. It gives you accurate to a millisecond time, every day, works off solar power, has five alarms, one with a snooze, world time, a count down timer (again, this is soooooo useful for cooking), a stop watch (again useful for cooking), and is lightweight and unobtrusive without being too small to see. No it won't tell you who poked you on Facebook, or whatever, But for time related things its superb. And at this price, pretty much unbeatable. [I chose this model over the comparable but non-solar Waveceptor as there were a number of negative comments on the 200 Meter Water Resistant Waveceptor failing intermittently. My brother has a Solar powered analog/digital combo that failed, I have seen anecdotally that Casio's cheap, around $30-$40 combo watches tend to fail, being full of engineering compromises. The straight on digital only, no special features, or analog only, no special features watches work fine, though they are not particularly accurate. G Shocks seem to be pretty bullet proof. Though I would not pay $300 for the Justin Bieber model. Yes he wears one. I don't think you can go wrong with a G Shock though.]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this watch ever pinch your arm hairs occasionally? My old G-Shock which is finally beginning to wear too much in the band, always does this**
A: Never had that problem.  Looking at the case and band fit the watch  band raises the case a bit, but I never realized it until now.

**Q: How do you change it from a 12 hour format to 24 hours?**
A: Push adjust then push mode, then push mode again.  Then u see the 12 hours on display.  Then push forward button. 24 shows. Then push adjust to get back to 24 hours display.  Matt b

**Q: what's the left hand side indicator on top where the little triangular indicators appear & dissapear with the seconds for?**
A: Actually it does have a use. If you quickly or immediately need to count out some seconds (10 or 20 for example) you can easily do it with the indicator. You don't have open the timer and some people find it easier than watching the seconds numbers.

**Q: Can the band be replaced with the nylon nato/zulu straps ? has anyone actually replaced the band with one that isn't cheap plastic or rubber?**
A: I have replaced the straps with Casio's replacement straps and those work great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Device, Extremely Accurate, Very Durable & Worth The Purchase Price.
*by A***R on April 2, 2021*

Best watch ever, with one over 15 years of flawless service and the others over five years of flawless service or more. I am a collector of sorts and purchased the first one when it first came on the market. Each unit is very durable and I like to rotate my collection with two units on Daylight Savings Time, and the other two on Standard Time. Although they don't always pick-up the signals from Fort Collins, Colorado, they will eventually do on the second or third try, causing no problems. I was a U.S.Navy Quartermaster and exact time keeping is a very important topic when it comes to Navigation. These watches are the cream of the crop and never lets me down. I can't say enough about this watch as nothing can beat it -in my opinion. This is especially true of with my oldest unit, still working strong after over a decade of hard service. No need to change the battery as this watch is Solar Powered, and to keep all units in Receiving Time Signal, I place it in a window sill at 2000Hours, or 8:00PM, and the next morning it is self- adjusted to accuracy to one-tenth of a second all day and night. It has a night light and other features which I do not use, but to the Sporting Person can be useful as it has among others an accurate Stop Watch, Hourly Signal, Count Down Signal, Alarm Clock, and World Time. All are very durable and although dropped by accident serveral times, each works perfectly. Remember Too: Solar Powdered Also Means NO BATTERY TO CHANGE!!
