This Casio men's watch has a titanium case and bezel that reduces weight while maintaining the shock resistance that G-Shock watches are known for. The watch is solar powered that allows the watch to run for nine months on a full charge without further exposure to light. The watch calibrates itself via radio signals to the US atomic clock for unsurpassed accuracy. It features five daily alarms, a countdown timer, a stopwatch, auto electroluminescent backlight with Afterglow, a calendar pre-programmed until 2099, a battery power indicator, and a power saving function. A deep waved black resin band provides a secure fit and the watch is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters).  | | | | |

I purchased this G-shock as a watch store return and it hasn't been off my wrist since I received it. Except at night, when it sits on the window ledge for the automatic atomic clock synchronization. The watch orientation seems to help a lot when receiving signals. The best way I've found is to leave the watch face down, and it seems to sync much better. There are some nights that it will not sync, but that is the nature of radio propagation. It is accurate to plus/minus 15 seconds per month even without the atomic sync. The titanium parts make this model distinctive from much of the rest of the G-shock line, which rely on stainless steel. The titanium bits are the strap screws, the bezel, the case back, and the push rods that extend into the watch from the four exterior buttons. Titanium is less reactive than stainless steel, making it more rust resistant and less likely to cause irritation to sensitive skin. It is also more lightweight than stainless steel. The watch is solar powered, meaning that regular exposure to light keeps the battery topped up and no regular battery changes are needed. It can be thrown into a drawer for weeks and there will still be plenty of juice to run the watch, esp. if you have power-saving features activated. Unlike some other Gulfman models, there is no moon or tide data. The buttons are pretty easy to activate as far as pressure is concerned, and their size makes them easy to acquire without looking. I love the Gulfman!
