Review of the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v

BY DiscountWatchez.com

Here is a G-Shock about as near to flawless as any watch can become. The Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and Casio Atomic G-Shock GW330a-9v are continuously correct to the exact second and you never have to agonize about replacing those menacing, overly priced batteries. The GW300a-9v is a newer version of the prior 2v model. There are a few noticeable changes with the newer 9v model and both can be obtained for nearly the same price.

Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v: Blue with a resin band - Solar Powered - Atomic Timekeeping - Scratch Resistant - Shock Resistant - Water Resistant up to 200meters - 26 Time Zones (30 city). Auto Electro Luminescent Backlight - Stopwatch - 4 Alarms with Snooze - Hourly time signal - Back up battery in case your solar power runs out - Watch is Calibrated for accurate time.

Casio Atomic G-Shock GW330a-9v: Comes with all the features listed with the 2v with a few upgrades that include the following: Black instead of blue- Enhanced Shock Resistant - 29 Time Zones (30 cities) - Calendar - 4 daily alarms - 1 snooze alarm - a time recorder - Stainless steel bezel and mineral dial window for an added rugged appearance.  

You perhaps realize all there is to know about the G-Shock watches even though you are reading this review you may possibly still have a few questions about “atomic” and “solar” features. Optimistically the following information will give you a improved insight on these exciting features.

“SOLAR” The face of the G-Shock watch holds a solar cell that converts light rays into electricity. The electricity then charges the internal battery and the battery powers the watch. So in easier terminology….If there is ever a major power failure or you just put the watch up in a dark location for a while the watch will remain functioning for around 11 months.

The reason I love solar powered feature of the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and GW300a-9v watch: I am in the middle of a awfully busy week and guess what…my watch battery goes dead. Now I am one of those individuals that wear their watch continuously and have to be able to stay up with the time just to stay on schedule. Now I realize what you are thinking. We own numerous numerous gadgets now that certainly a watch battery going dead will not fling me into panic state and throw my entire day off. But guess what…It has happened more times than I can count. I fancy these new gadgets but I am from the pre cell phone era and will always rely on a quick wrist flick to check the time instead of searching all through my over sized handbag for one of those gadgets. Now I have to fit in my schedule time to stop by a jeweler to have the battery replaced and then my mouth falls open when I find out how much having a little little object replaced costs.

“ATOMIC” Any Casio atomic watch is designed to receive radio signals from Fort Collins, Colorado multiple times per night. This allows the watch to keep precise time down to the very second. This feature, however, is the only downfall I have ever heard from customers. When setting up your watch the first time you might have to be a little patience. The signal for these watches comes from Colorado and can take a bit to obtain, particularly if it is a gloomy day or their are weather issues. But once you receive the signal it is easy sailing from there.

My all time favorite feature of the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and GW300a-9v watches: Ok, this may seem silly to other individuals but I absolutely adore this feature. If you are in the dark all you have to do is lift the watch and turn your arm to glimpse at the time and the watches backlight will turn on for a few seconds. This movement activation is certainly helpful if you are like me and wear your watch to bed, run at dark or merely find yourself in the dark regularly.

These Casio Atomic G-Shock watches are remarkably well-liked amongst military officers, police officers, construction workers or anybody else that requires a watch that they can count on. There are many stories of military officers using these watches while they are stationed in Iraq. #1 because they will hold up against any test these troops are put through in there unkind environments.  #2 they can depend on this watch due to the solar powered battery. Let’s face it; our troops do not need to worry about their watch battery going dead while they are across seas struggling for their life and our country. If the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v can stand up with our troops in Iraq then I am certain they can undergo anything.
