Casio Men's GW7900B-1 G-Shock Solar Atomic Black Digital Sport Watch Review

Top 10 Gadgets of 2009 (Rated #8) according to Time magazine. This is my first G-Shock and first watch with an inverted display. I wanted a sturdy watch that I wouldn't feel would break if I banged into something. I have several Citizen, Tissot watches that I just felt were to prone to being scratched/destroyed.
I'm very happy with the design/look of this watch. The pictures (as of today) on Amazon are distorted and don't do justice to the look of the watch. While this watch is a very large watch compared to some of the other G's, it feels nice and comfortable on my wrist.
I wanted a watch for functions as well as reliability. With the watch being solar powered, along with an atomic feature makes this watch a must have. The watch has alarm's, timer, dedicated button (the G button) to the light which is very nice (can work in any mode), 2nd time zone, world time, etc.
I've gone through a lot of watches in my time but this by far is one of my favorites and is a must have in your collection if you're looking for a reliable, sturdy, function filled watch!
1/5/10 Follow-up:
Since I'm an avid Scuba Diver, I wanted to know if this particular watch can be operated underwater (switching through operations on the watch).
This is the response I got from Casio-
"Dear Mr. Travale,

The GW7900B-1 has a water resistance of up to 200M. These models do permit underwater button operation.

We hope that we were able to assist you with your question and again, thank you for contacting CASIO AMERICA."

This was a present for my husband. He did not like the style, he think this is more for kids. He was not satisfied with this watch style.

Casio Men's AWG100-1A G-Shock Multi-Band Solar Atomic Analog Watch Review

Casio Men's AWG100-1A G-Shock Multi-Band Solar Atomic Analog Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I opened the package, I was surprised with how this watch looked even better than it did on the web sites. The three small windows on the face are easy to see, but are not as bright as they look in the picture. The silver frame around the face and the hands stand out in a dark background, which is so cool! This watch is not small like baby-G, but is compact and looks like all you need for everyday life is packed inside.
The atomic system and solar power are really convenient as other reviewers describe them, and you don't have to do anything to keep this watch working accurately. I just grab it and put it on my wrist in the morning! Even though it's casual, it can be worn for work as well as recreation. Of course, this is G-Shock, so you don't have to worry about doing damage to it at all, while washing your hands, taking a nap, and even playing sports in the rain!
Personally, I like analog watches better than digital ones because you can quickly see the time in stead of having to picture the clock face in your head. But it's convenient to have digital display, too, to view the exact minutes and seconds. This watch is basically analog, but has digital display, as well, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds! Just a note, this watch doesn't have second hand (but you can see seconds on the digital display), and the minute hand moves every twenty seconds. It's kinda fun to watch.
The only change that I would make is to have the whole face illuminated, including digital display. The LED light only lights up the analog portion of the watch from the bottom of the watch face, and you cannot see the digital display in the dark (You can see the analog portion clearly without any trouble). So you shouldn't expect to set the alarm in the dark.
But over all, I'm quite satisfied with this watch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tough, reliable, and good looking timepiece.

Timex 90102 Internet Messenger and Pager Wristwatch Review

Timex 90102 Internet Messenger and Pager Wristwatch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Oh Amazon! I am _so_ disheartened to see that you no longer carry this watch, as disheartened I am to see that Timex and Motorola no longer manufacture it. This watch was no Edsel, and I'm sorry to see it end up in a technology tarpit.
A co-worker of mine just recently (last five years) lost his hearing and he now has a Cochlear implant. They haven't made a cell phone to work with the Cochlear implant yet and this watch has been a godsend in helping us communicate with each other! We work on-call and it's imperative that I be able to rapidly get in touch with him. This watch was perfect for that! And because it was a watch, it was small, portable and just about perfect for the task and he always knew when someone was contacting him.
Not only was it a pager under SkyTel service, it could receive e-mail from cell phones, dispatcher computers and via the SkyTel website and news alerts from the wire services over Yahoo.
With the purchase of a new watch, you received a year of SkyTel service. This included service nationwide, voice mail for those who wished it, caller id and a toll free number to send unlimited pages or to leave/retrieve voice mail. Renewal of the agreement was but $99 a year! Where can you get a deal better than that???
So here, after two years of brutal use, both our watches are sick and dying. We need new ones Amazon! Find us some! The rubber watch bands are deteriorating, the buttons are getting loose and the electrical contacts are getting worn. If we can't put the pager on our wrist, we can't use it and don't want it.

Citizen Women's EW1270-06A Eco-Drive Leather Watch Review

Citizen Women's EW1270-06A Eco-Drive Leather Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used to be a Timex watch person. But the cheapness of the straps and the constant demand of replacing batteries grew old and annoying. Then someone told me about ECO drive watches.
This is one of 4 that I own now. I have dressy ones, ones with metal bracelets, but I love this one the most.
The face is easy to read, the leather strap holds up to dousing with water and doesn't dissolve, and the crystal face has not scratched despite being banged into things all the time.
Best of all, no more running out of batteries. No one can go wrong with this watch. My eyes are too old to read the date function, but my watch keeps me on time, all the time. I will never get any other brand of watches any more.
