Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch overview

The Casio G-Shock Riseman Alti-Therm Atomic Solar Watch is the latest Casio sports Watch with the famous G-Shock technology that first came out in 1983. In fact, Casio exploded onto the wristWatch scene back in 1974 when digital Watches were invented by producing the worlds first digital watch with self-operating calendar, the Casiotron watch. It was the first watch to incorporate a digital self-operating calendar function that got rid of the need to reset the calendar due to variations in the length of the month.

Casio's religious doctrine was to transform the mere timepiece into an information expedient by not only displaying the exact time with seconds, minutes, hours, day of the week, month, a.m. Or p.m., but also other functions. For example, the Data Bank series included a calculator, dictionary, phonebook, and thermometer functions, and then the Pathfinder series also included altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

Atomic Weather Station

The Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch has many innovative features that should satisfy most Casio fans. Many watches can measures altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature, but the Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch does so with a unique three layer twin sensor. The G-Shock is again becoming very popular, more than 25 years after its invention. These watches are made to be durable and tough to withstand all types of shock, shakes, and impact; in fact, it was Casio's idea to build a watch that never breaks instead of a brittle item of jewellery.

Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping

This innovative highLight is sure to come to be a suitable in the future. The Atomic timekeeping highLight enables the watch to synchronize itself via calibrated Radio signals from up to 6 dissimilar atomic clocks around the world. This means you may never have to adjust the time on your watch again.

Tough Solar Power

The Tough Solar Power means that you will not have to replace the Battery for 20 to 30 years as it gets its energy from the sun and other light sources. There is a Power save mode that works automatically; the watch shuts down after an hour in the dark, but all the sensors keep on functioning unless it is kept away from light for an extended period of time. When the watch encounters light again, it will come out of power save mode.

Other Features

Digital-quartz Movement Auto El Backlight with Afterglow A world clock with 29 time zones Five daily alarms 24hr stopwatch and 24hr countdown Water resistant to 660 feet Altimeter, barometric pressure, temperature and weather patterns Manual memory measurements - capacity of 20 records

Summary

Although it is quite a large watch it is comfortable to wear and quite unobtrusive. It is ready to go out of the box as you don't have to go through lengthy setup procedures with time zones and calendars. Although the Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch is a very versatile instrument with many functions it can be used as an every day watch. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a compass - I believe that is the only function that is missing from this superior Casio D-Shock watch.
