 This Casio is COOL !!! December 1, 2008
THIS WATCH DOES IT ALL !!! SOLAR POWERED, ATOMIC, BAROMETER, ALTIMETER, THERMOMETER, ,COMPASS, G-SHOCK. THIS MODEL IS LIGHT ON THE WRIST AND IS MUCH LESS LIKELY TO GET SNAGGED ON THINGS -- IT RIDES SO CLOSE TO THE WRIST BECAUSE ITS THE NEW LIGHT WEIGHT VERY THIN MODEL. IT HAS A GREAT MINERAL CRYSTAL THAT IS HIGHLY SCRATCH RESISTANT. IT ALSO HAS A NEW FUNCTION THAT YOU CAN ACTIVATE TO HAVE ITS BACKLIGHT TURN ON WHEN YOU TURN YOUR WRIST TO A VERTICAL ANGLE, ABOUT 90 DEGREES. VERY HANDY. THE WATCH CAN HOLD A 5 MONTH CHARGE KEEPING ALL FUNCTIONS ACTIVE. WHEN THE BATTERY GETS LOW, IT SUSPENDS THE AUTO ATOMIC SIGNAL SEARCH AND JUST GIVES THE TIME WHICH IS MY CUE TO HOLD IT TOWARDS THE SUN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FULLY RECHARGE IT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE. IT IS UNOBTRUSIVE AND IS HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL. GLAD I GOT IT. YOU WILL BE TOO !!!!
Very cool! But keep it in strong light. November 1, 2008
I love this watch. The radio time setting does really work so it's always exactly accurate. The barometer and compass and so forth also really work. The numbers are big and easy to read for a digital watch. It has a neat feature of lighting up when you tilt it. A tip; the Casio website has a downloadable owners' manual which is much easier to read than the little seven-language booklet packed with it.
There is just one odd quirk; it is solar powered. This means you have to make sure every couple of days to make an effort to leave it in strong sunlight to charge up. The manual says to wear it outside your sleeve! A bit annoying to have to worry about this, would prefer plain old battery power.
 NOT A TEMPERATURE WATCH October 1, 2008

I like the built-in solar charger and atomic-clock calibration, BUT...
1. I don't like the seconds readout to be on a separate line from the hours and minutes -- it wastes time because it requires two looks.
2. Given this silly isolation of the seconds readout, why not also show tenths of seconds? They're such fun to scrutinize.
3. I'm HIGHLY disappointed that I can't have the temperature readout always on (THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING!!!!)
Having to fiddle with a button for a temporary readout (delayed too!) is so infuriating I hardly ever use it
(i.e., i'ts NOT REALLY a temperature watch).
Why couldn't Casio have put the Temp in the uselessly blank space just to the left of that stupidly isolated seconds readout?
I hate thoughlessness, and this watch has too much of it.
(Not-withstanding the cool way the night-light comes on when the watch is suddenly lifted upwards.)
I would have sent it back to Amazon if I wasn't so lazy.
I'm even more disappointed that Casio has learned nothing since their temperature watches I tried out 20 years ago, which read out the same incompetant elevation above actual air temperature.
Casio, hire a thermal engineer (I know you have NONE!),
who will tell you to:
1. Insulate the watch-rear from body heat. (When I go running I keep the watch on my running belt, away from me.)
2. Get rid of those black surfaces around the 'Triple Sensor' (they absorb sunlight).
3. Put a tiny air mover to blow ambient air onto the sensor, which should be installed in an insulated U-shaped tunnel with a fast enough air current to actually register air temp. You'd want a dust filter on the tunnel, so maybe that was your excuse for botching it, in the unlikely case anybody at Casio actually considered how to make an accurate thermometer, something the rest of the world figured out centuries ago.
If I'd known Casio still produced this stupid design, I'd never have bought it. I assumed 20 years was long enough to get their act together. Apparently I should have waited a century.
Customers looking at this or any Casio so-called temperature watch,
with-hold your order and e-mail Casio that your'e waiting for the real thing.
