The digital window also conveniently shows the day of the week above and the month and date below, automatically pre-programmed through 2099. The battery power level and calibration signal reception are indicated on the sides. This watch also offers four daily alarms and one snooze alarm, a time recorder, a 1/100 second stopwatch function, and a handy automatic EL backlight with afterglow.

 Highly recommended for those of us with attention to detail traits November 30, 2008
Old Man Bob (The great ole USA)
I purchased my Casio MTG900DA a few years ago. I try to be cautious with it but as I am naturally clumsy, it gets it fair share of abuse. It runs great. I grinded it against the bricks on the outside of my home when climbing on the ladder to clean out the dryer vent, but it looks no worse at all. I have yet to scratch the mineral glass.
I downloaded the watch user instructions online as a pdf file. I can enlarge the instructions to easily read the manual... no small print problems for me. I do have trouble sometimes effectively trying to push the buttons because at times some button pushes seem ineffective or not registering while at other times they push fine. I recently went on a 12 day cruise to Alaska, and we changed time zones a few different times from EST. A button push and I was always in tune with the local time.
I do not worry about leaving my watch close to a window. In fact, it is in my bookcase top shelf every night about 12 feet from a window with shades, but its time is right to the second. Every few weeks I may do a manual receive to update it's atomic time, but usually find out it was already accurate. I also check it a few times weekly online with the atomic clocks.
I enjoy the numerous stopwatches it offers, as I time everything... every day to work... stoplights, shortcuts I may take on back roads or at restaurants for the time to receive my meal from when I ordered it ect. I also set all the clocks on the stoves, microwaves and clock radios to it, and try to set them exactly to the second so they all change at the same time. Silly, but hey, whatever rocks your boat.
The multiple and easy to set alarms are great as well, specifically if I have an important meeting at work and I am not near my desk for Outlook to remind me.
If you have anyone whom you would term anal-retentive (I mean that in a good sense), as I pride myself on my attention to detail, This would make a wonderful holiday gift.
Only four stars due to the difficulty in mastering all the features as well as the buttons sometimes being hard to push, this watch is still a keeper and a favorite by far.
 Durable, Practicable and Accurate November 17, 2008

I bought this as a present for my autistic brother, who is a fanatic about accuracy on time. This makes him happy, not only because its accurate, but also because it supplies the day of the week and date as well. It makes me happy because its durable and can withstand the shocks of his job, which is very physical. This was very moderately priced for all that it does and was well worth the money.

I absolutely love my Casio G-Shock atomic-solar watch October 2, 2008

I bought this watch about three months ago. After a couple of months of searching all Casio G-Shock atomic/solar watches, this was the ONLY one I liked in this price range. The metal band is a big plus, as I don't like leather or resin.
This is a big watch, and it is a little heavy, but it feels very comfortable on my small wrist. Some people complain about the small print on the manual, but I have no trouble reading it at all and I'm retired.
The manual recommends placing the watch in a window so it can receive the atomic clock signal, but at home I just place it near an exterior wall, about 18 inches below my window and it calibrates itself every morning, like clockwork :) However, I did have trouble receiving the signals from motel rooms while on vacation. The watch retrieves the signal from Fort Collins, CO, every night, at either 2, 3, 4, or 5AM. To do that, the watch must be kept motionless for about 5 minutes or so, during any one of those times. Note: if you happen to work during those hours, the watch would not pick up the signal unless it was removed from your wrist each night and placed near a window. That would seem to be a big inconvenience, and a deal breaker for me. Another thing: the volume of the alarm is almost totally inaudible on mine. If that feature is important to you (not to me) I would test it before I decided to keep the watch.
If you are thinking of buying this as a gift, please keep in mind that some people (not me) might be intimidated by all of the features available, and the amount of reading necessary after the initial purchase. But once you get past that point, you'll never have to adjust it again, not even for leap year. My highest recommendation!
Also, one bit of trivia I discovered with this watch, I used to think my local news radio station broadcast the correct time with their hourly tone. WRONG! Their station has a 10-second delay.
Thanks Casio, for a great product!
Time after, well you know....... September 29, 2008

This watch keeps the perfect time....time after time! A bit big, but it takes a beating and keeps on glowing! I wish the price wasn't so high when I first bought it(I paid over $100).
