It's powered by a tough solar cell and sets the time itself using a receiver inside that picks up a radio frequency from the US Government's precise atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. See manual for reception advice, including ideal conditions and interference factors. Shock resistant and water resistant to 200 meters.

  Great Watch for most purposes

  by linearbob, Oct 25, 2007

  Pros: Solar powered with rechargeable battery Radio controlled automatic time setting Tough design, should last long Cons: Time-stamp feature not useful (to me) Round dial indicators difficult to read

  The Bottom Line: Excellent general purpose, wear it every day, "techie" watch. Being radio controlled, it will always be accurate. It is solar powered and shouldn't need a new battery every year.

  Casio G-Shock GW500A-1V

  by fruityrock, Sep 25, 2005

  Pros: Nice looking watch. Has a few common, useful features. Mostly for gadget freaks. Cons: Expensive, complex, impractical. Here today, gone tomorrow.

  The Bottom Line: Nice watch, made well, pricey and gadgety. It's plastic, so probably won't be in production when you want to replace it. Seems worth more like $70. than the $120. mark.
  Review: This watch has a Wave Ceptor feature, 4 alarms (one with snooze), Time Recorder, and self-recharging... More
