Review of Casio Black Atomic Solar G-Shock Watch

I have owned this watch for over 6 months now.
It has many positives and one negative.

1) For the money/features its a 10 out of 10
I own several watches, I choose to use
this one everyday

2) I was tired of buying watch batteries for my watches, even
ones that I haven't worn in many months.

3) I want a accurate watch, even my citizen watch lists
+/- 30 sec amonth?It fortunately is much more accurate
than that.
The G-Shock atomic is set 3 times a day to the atomic clock
in Colorado, it also tracks daylight savings so you don't
have to ever have to reset the time.

4) The G-Shock case is sturdy plastic and the face is recessed
to avoid scratches.

5) Its inexpensive enough that if I do seriously damage it
I am not worried about the cost of a replacement.

6) Good to 200m.I don't dive but I might go swimming.

Only downside is the time recorder feature.It will record a time/date event.????So what...I would rather have had a countdown timer instead of the mostly useless time stamp feature.

Hence my 4 of 5 (better would be 9 out of 10) rating.
I just bought another one of these for my father, and am
thinking of buying a 3rd one for my brother!

You can find this watch at Amazon.com, Costco and even Walmart!
