Men's GW7900B Classic Solar Atomic G-Shock Watch

Very good

This watch looks great - it's 'stealth' black look is mean, and a real fashion statement. As is the size. A 50mm width, and 15mm height ensures it will be noticed. However, the display is a double edged sword. The negative display keeps within the stealth mode, BUT it is impossible to read in low light conditions without the aid of the EL light. By low light, I mean indoors under domestic conditions (not bright office light), or outdoor in winter. Sunshine really pops the display into life. The functionality is superb, the atomic function ensures 'to the second' accuracy, and being solar means the watch will remain intact without costly battery replacements, and new gaskets to retain it's waterproof qualities. The resin strap is of good quality, and is supremely comfortable due in part to the 'wings' at either side of the lugs which hug your wrist. I have had mine for some months now, and have 'modded' it slightly by replacing the chrome buckle with a black one, removing the white writing around the bezel, and replacing the silver bezel rivets with black ones, and painting the 'G' on the light button black, all just to highlight the stealthiness of the design. I do love it, and it is almost a great watch, apart from the fact that you can't tell the time in poor light!!

I’ve had this for the past few years and it’s great watch in every way except two things are a pain. The negative display looks cool but it’s really hard to read most of the time and you spend more time moving your wrist to catch the right angle to read it, or have to illuminate it. The solar power indicator and hourly time signal are tooooo small to see half the time. Would I recommend buying one? No, get the normal version.

I picked up this watch a few months ago. Ive had it in the ocean, swimming pools, and showers. Never had any problem with anything on it. No my screws have not fallen off and I basically wear this thing 24/7. I sometimes forget to take it off and even wear it to bed. I am some what of a watch collector, most of my watches were much more expensive then this one including a citizen eco skyhawk being over $500. This is my favorite watch BY FAR!! I love all of the functions. Very bright light for the glow part. Very easy to read. Mine updates every night as long as I have it near a window. It is very easy to setup and start enjoying the phases of the moon and the tide info. We go to the beach alot and its great to know when the tide is up or down when you arrive so you know how close to put your umbrella and chairs without being over run by the ocean. I am a freemason being a member of a moon lodge, so its nice to know when a full moon is coming up. This watch is very rugged, ready for everyday use. Weather you are going out on the town, hiking and camping, or hitting the waves. I would recommend this to anyone. I have a small wrist and this watch is not too big or overbearing at all. It is very comfortable and light. Last thing I love about this watch is the light setting...you can set it to light up when you turn your wrist to look at it at night. Just hold the "G" button for 3 seconds to turn on this function. UPDATE!! I have owned this watch for 9 months now. It has became pretty much the only watch I wear. I still wear my way more expensive Citizen Sky Hawk Eco Drive for dressy occasions. This G Shock i wear everyday, and i rarely take it off. I wear it to bed, in the shower, to work, to play. It has never lost batter power. There is no cosmetic damage to it what so ever! No scratches, and the band still looks brand new. I love this watch more then any watch that I have ever owned. My best friend has the exact same watch and he is in the Army. He had it overseas with him which you can imagine is a very very good test for any watch. His looks exactly like mine, PERFECT. So it has literately been to WAR AND BACK and this watch passed every test with flying colors!!! BUY THIS WATCH NOW YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!

orologio con moltissime funzioni,leggerissimo,anche se con scarsa luce si vede poco il display,ci fi fa l'abitudine.indistruttibile,unico difetto:non usatelo in spiaggia, il vetro minerale ,che non e'affatto antigraffio ,con la sabbia si graffia!!!

I had this watch prior to 2013 before losing it. It worked very well, and while I only had it a few years, I remember it performing well even in Saskatchewan, Canada where we don't get long daylight hours. Recently (2024), I repurchased this watch and it's exactly as I remember it. DISPLAY: This watch is classy and very easy to read in moderate to well lit areas. I've owned another Casio dark face watch with light grey digits, and it was incredibly difficult to see the display. This one is not the case. However, I will also add that the backlight illumination, while evenly lit, is fairly dim. The room needs to be somewhat to completely dark to see that the illuminator is activated. The light stays on for three seconds, and can be set to turn on every time the watch is tilted toward the user's face (I turn this feature OFF to save battery power). The layout of the display is quite pleasing. With the signal display and the date along the top third of the watch, Moon Phase (left side) and Tide indicator (center) along with a visual seconds gear wheel (right side) in the middle portion of the display, and time keeping along the bottom third of the watch, the display feels very well balanced. My only complaint is that the physical print on the watch face itself is so small that I need a magnifying glass to read it (print such as "SIG" and "ALM"). The digital indicators above this fine print are easier to see. The physical "P.SAVE", "CHG", and the battery level print on the watch face are all quite a bit easier to read, and again, the digital indicators above each are very easy to see. BATTERY: The battery indicators are"P.SAVE", "CHG", "L", "M", and "H". When I received the watch, it was on "M" and has almost always stayed there. I tried to charge the battery to "H" in the Sun, but with limited time outside due to working indoors, I didn't have any success. Instead, I tried using a bright LED flashlight (700 lumins) to see if it would charge. Initially, I had the light and the watch close enough together to almost be touching. WARNING - DO NOT DO THIS! The LCD became all black and no digits were visible. This corrected itself within a second or two. So now I use the flashlight at a small distance away from the watch. I was able to very briefly get the battery level to "H". I think bright Sunlight would be best, as long as the watch will not overheat! It's important to "feed" the watch plenty of light as often as possible. AUTO TIME UPDATE: Placing the watch on a chair near a North facing window has proven effective so far in the watch receiving signals each night. This feature is one of the main reasons I bought the watch. MOON AND TIDE: I bought this watch almost primarily for the Moon Phase display. It's handy knowing what the Moon phase is simply by looking at my wrist. The New Moon is a completely black Moon display, and as the phases progress, the black area gets smaller, and the light grey areas represent the illuminated portion of the Moon. It can be used to display BOTH NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES which is great news! The tide display is not useful to me personally. COMFORT: The watch feels great on my wrist and is not too large, unlike some watches which are ridiculously huge. It's definitely not too small either. It feels like a man's watch without drawing too much attention. I enjoy wearing it. CONCLUSION: If digital display watches with novelty functions is your thing, this watch may be for you. I didn't talk about the alarm, stopwatch, timer, world time, and other screens mainly because I don't use them often. Although I will admit that the Moon and Tide screen are nice, as it shows the Moon's day age. Over all, this is my all time favorite watch!

Cette montre est tout simplement géniale ! Avec la réception satellite pour l'heure, tous les fuseaux horaires, les marées, les cycles lunaires et j'en passe, elle se prête vraiment à tous les jours et même aux randonnées.
