I myself have Swiss made watches, but always come back to G-Shock because you can leave them on all the time & not get worried about damaging them or their time-keeping ability.]]>Jul 31st 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/
My very-limited Pininfarina G-Shock being one of such models.

If you are in the US, you just need to point it towards Colorado (i think specifically Colorado Springs) to get the signal.

Clear days with little clouds are the best.]]>Jul 31st 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/
At around $400, it was pricey, but Citizen is a good brand and it's a nice watch (they also make a higher-end one with a titanium case, but it's quite a bit more expensive).]]>Jul 31st 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/
I'd love to know the time too, right before I bled to death, but I can't imagine that many people have that mindset when they buy these things.]]>Jul 31st 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/
Seriously- the "shock absorption" part refers to the floating mechanism & rubber "bumpers" in the watch which reduces impact & vibration.]]>Jul 31st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/
I also dig the original designs, and especially the Rise Man. It comes with a 50 page user manual ;) Unfortunately, since then Casio hasn't had any good ideas IMO. Design changes were generally for the worse, no cool new technology, nothing.

I have an utterly disappointing Pathfinder with "tough solar". The solar cells may be tough but they are also not working. Even in very sunny conditions they are not able to recharge a battery and I have to change batteries more often than with my non-solar G-shocks. Like, every year.

My 6 1/2 year old $30 Timex Expedition keeps better time than Omega auto-winding and Casio quartz divers watches that I have in a draw. The Timex was accurate to 1 sec/month or better for several months when new.

Also, anbody who licks their Timex (or Casio) watch to keep it ticking should first try replacing the battery.]]>Jul 31st 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/casio-gets-fancy-with-led-infused-tough-movement/Jul 31st 2008 8:08PM
