First g-shock in a long time, have been an Ironman fan and still am.

I bought this for the Solar and Atomic time keeping capabilities, added to the g-shock ruggedness reputation.

I really like the larger digital display on this g-shock vs others.  Much easier to read. The light is also better.

The buttons on the sides could be a little larger and better positioned (too close to the X axis, should be centered under their labels e.g. Adjust). Not good for timing for running, exercizing, etc. Due to this i would not catagorize this as a "sports watch".

The size is very good for my 7 inch wrists. Watch diameter and strap length are fine.

Alarm beep is too soft. Won't wake me up in the morning. This is a known problem for Casio's for a long time, don't know why they won't finally fix this.

The mini dial counting down 10 seconds is useless. The other mini dials are so small, tough to read, suggest these are deleted and moved to a separate function if i want to get the info.

So, ironman for bedside and exercizing, g-shock for other duties.
