After twice replacing a more expensive watch that touts itself as a Navy Seals watch I decided to go with the Casio G Shock Line. Reading the reviews here I settled on the GW9000A. This is a heavy duty big bodied watch- not glamorous but highly functional that keeps accurate time and has alarms and stopwatch features. I like the wrist band (double prong catches instead of typical single) Also the fact that you really need to push the buttons on the watch to change settings- you aren't going to change them in the course of just normal hard work or leaning on them like some other watches I have had. The fact that it is solar and won't need a watch battery after a year or so is also appealing. I never take the watch off and it has readjusted to the atomic time on it's own- I sleep right by a large window though. I use it for scuba diving as well. So far I am very happy with it. Recommended for someone who is tough on watches and needs a dependable timepiece without breaking the bank.
