Description:
Tough and rugged enough for any workout regimen or outdoors training, this shock-resistant Casio Baby-G women's sport analog/digital watch (model BG1500A-1BV) is also very precise thanks to its atomic timekeeping features. It features a stylish black resin case and silver top ring, which frames a black dial face with three digital subdials (which display day, date, and the 1/100-second stopwatch). Other timing features include world time from 48 cities, 12/24-hour display, autocalendar (to the year 2099), and hourly time signal. This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for recreational snorkeling. It also offers a tapered black resin strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight. p This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter. You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock. pcenterimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/watches/atomic.type.US.only.jpg" align="center"/centerpGet more product details from Amazon

I'd been looking for an atomic watch for over a year. Most were made for men..and some of the styles were all right, but when I saw this one, I knew it was the one for me. When I got it, I simply followed the directions for synching the time, and it's been terrific ever since.

This is sort of big for a womens wrist...I am a big girl but it still is kind of big..looks like a mens. I like how the hands automatically set the time when you choose the country...kind of nifty. I thought the whole watch illuminated from the pic but you have to press a button to get it to light up. The hands do glow in the dark but the rest of it does not which sort of sucks...oh well I kept it anyways..needed something to wear when I work out. Its not a bad watch just a few little things that don't make it great.
Quite Large for a Woman's Watch

I received this watch recently as a gift. It has cool features and operates easily, but I'm not sure if I can get over the size. The watch itself is large which I can deal with, but the band is definitely MAN-sized. The resin material doesn't breath, so even in the mild temps we've been having (50's ~ 60's), my wrist has been sweating. I like the watch really well -- I'm going to see if its possible to replace the band.

I have been watching for an atomic watch suitable for ladies for several years. It is great to have the accuracy. It is still somewhat large but acceptable for a sportswatch look. Nice overall styling.
Smaller and simpler than expected!

I bought this watch because I needed a new Baby-G since my old one was getting dirty (it was one of the blue gelly ones). The atomic time adjustment is definitely this watch's big selling point, but it is also a pretty classy looking watch for a Shock resistant sports watch. I was worried about all the comments about complicated buttons and the size of the watch itself and so I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the watch is actually smaller than my other Baby-G and that the directions make the watch very simple to operate. I also liked that the functions for the buttons are labeled on the backside of the watch, leaving the front face looking uncluttered. It certainly doesn't look like it's a digital watch due to it's major analog component, but it still has the perks of a digital watch, with an alarm and digital time, date, and day read-out. (I personally don't use the stopwatch, countdown watch, or the world time but those are nice too).
br /
br /The LED light is orange and lights up the face pretty well, however it does not quite reach the top two digital displays. You can set the length of time the light stays on as well, and since the analog hands glow in the dark, the light really isn't that necessary to begin with unless you need to see where the numbers are on the watch. But for those who know the basics of analog watches (like where twelve, three, six and nine o'clocks are) it shouldn't be a problem.
br /
br /I am very happy with this watch and despite my early concerns when I first ordered it, seeing it in person and actually using and wearing it banished all those worries in a heartbeat.
br /
br /I would definitely recommend this watch to any woman who needs a classy looking, accurate, and reliable watch!

I got this watch for my wife, who is technology challenged and very hard on watches. The watch is very robust, the atomic setting works well and the whole is attractive.
br /Cons: Setup instructions are not intuitive, you will always need the manual handy to do much. Some settings take a lot of button pushing, again no logical sequence and requires going step by step from the manual. The "manual" is so small if you're over the age of 15 you'll need a magnifying glass. Guys, this is *not* a dress watch for a lady, but built to take tough treatment.

I love this watch, the size is no bigger than any of the other Baby G's. Love all the features of the watch. And it's really pretty cool when it picks up the signal from Colorado and sets the right time. The hands just move on their own to set the correct time.
Great function but don't lose the instruction manual!

Overall, I am happy with this watch. The Atomic timekeeping function is great, especially for traveling. I bought this watch for scuba diving and expect the atomic timekeeping to be quite convenient. You can adjust what features are displayed in the digital windows. As with any Baby-G, it looks like it can take quite a beating. It lights up well in the dark.
br /
br /The bad news: (1) You most definitely need to use the instruction manual to set up and maintain this watch. The functions of the buttons are not marked on the watch so you must use the manual to know which button does what. Moreover, hang on to the manual over time because you will undoubtedly need to refer to it to make any adjustments to the watch. (2) It's large for a woman's wrist. I'm a petite female and it is so large I suspect it will double as a self-defense device as well as I think I could give someone a nice welt if needed.

Overall I think this is a great watch. This does not have as many features as a timex ironman as far as keeping time for running laps, training, and storing that info, but this will serve my purposes. I actually have a timex that I use just for running. If you are getting this watch with the intent of keeping time on your different training days for running then this is not the watch you need. It does have a stop watch with one split, but you can't review or store any of the info like you can on other watches.
br /Having said all of that, that was not the reason I bought this watch. I got it to use at the gym while working out or playing ball. Also it doesn't look too bad when wearing it for everyday use. It is very sturdy and actually comfortable. The atomic feature was easy to set up as long as you read the directions. The other features are also easy as long as you read the directions. The face is a little bit bigger than the ladies timex ironman, but not a reason not to buy it. It is significantly smaller than the mens g-shock watches. Band is a decent size. My wrist is about 6.5" and there are 3 holes left (to make it smaller). A friend of mine has a much smaller wrist and has the same watch. I think it looks fine on her, doesn't look too big or out of place. That's actually the reason I bought it.

This watch has more cool stuff than I know what to do with. I love all of the features I know how to use so far but it is definitely a watch you have to read the manual for to understand it completely. The only thing that ticks me off about it is, as advanced as all if it's functions are...it has this stupid little orange light over the 6 which illuminates over the face rather than from the inside or behind the faces. This doesn't illuminate the smaller faces so well. I work at night so the light was important. Should have read more about the little light...

I own this watch and it has been pinned up on my bulletin board for the past 4 years. It is big, causes wrist discomfort (pain) when you bend your wrist and the band makes your wrist perspire. Don't get me wrong it is an excellent quality watch and keeps time magnificently.
br /If you are a rock climber, kayak down gorges or work in construction this watch is for you. Or maybe you are tough and rugged and need a tough and rugged watch.

I bought this watch because I wanted a sports watch that was different than the run-of-the-mill digital sports watch. The Baby-G atomic watch definitely fits that bill for me. While the watch itself is fairly large for a women's watch, I still like it very much. I love the atomic timekeeping feature, in addition to the analog face. All-in-all it's a great watch.

I like the watch but it is a little on the large side for my tastes. I have even had comments that people thought I had bought a men's watch. It is not that much smaller than my husband's which is the male version of this. It is a good watch and I love that it is set by the atomic clock.

I purchased this watch as a gift for my Girlfriend. She just loves the style and performance so far. The watch is not small but certainly not as big as the men's style G watches,it works for her. Take the time to review the instructions for this watch, it isn't easy to set up without the book. Another great Casio product!
HAPPY??? Yes, I am

Love the watch. Received yesterday, skimmed through the instructions, set it for my time zone and watched the hands spin. It was an hour off, so I let it sit in the window overnight on its stand, and this morning it was perfectly timed. Before, I NEVER knew what day/date it was (I work at home) - so it's astonishing to look at your wrist for all the PRECISE information needed. Without glasses it's a bit of a stretch, but as I get used to the numbers, it'll get easier. BEAUTIFUL? Not exactly, but for dressy days I have other watches. For all casual wear it's very classy. A LITTLE LARGE? Yes, but how can they pack so much information in anything tinier?? Besides, it's not that much larger than my other big and beautiful timepieces. I had my eye on the Atomic/Solar, but it didn't seem to be as feature-packed. HAPPY??? Yes, I am, and thanks to Amazon, I got a great deal.

I just got this watch in the mail last week and I love it already. I read many reviews on Amazon and knew that it was a good watch but I was nervous b/c many people mentioned that it was rather large. I was pleasantly surprised. It is larger then your typical woman's watch but if you are going for that sporty look it's perfect. I love the way it looks and I love the features that it offers. I have only had it for a week now but so far I am very impressed with this watch and would highly recommend it.
Great Watch!

I'm very picky about my watches- I like them big, but not the biggest (I'm a woman with tiny wrists), light- not heavy, matte black with silver. This one fit the bill perfectly. The problem I had with my old digital watch was not being able to see the time when out in the sun- not a problem with this analog watch. It gives me just the right amount of info. Seems to be keeping time very well despite being in the mountains and on my wrist 24-7 (I don't know how often it's able to check in atomically to adjust itself). The light is great, although I rarely need it b/c the hands glow very well. And best of all- it looks cool! I love this watch!

I ORDERED THIS ITEM AND THE BOX CAME EMPTY! IT WAS SIGNED FOR SINCE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN STOLEN IN TRANSIT-I DO NOT KNOW. HOWEVER WHEN I CONTACTED THIS SELLER, IRECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO REPLY. THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE, HOWEVER THE COMPLETE LACK OF COMMUNICATION IS POOR SO I GAVE THEM A RATING OF 1 BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF THE COMMON COURTESY OF A REPLY. I ORDERED ANOTHER IDENTICAL WATCH FROM AMAZON SINCE I REALLY WANTED IT FOR MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS DELIVERED PROMPTLY AND INTACT. IN FUTURE, I WILL TRY TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH AMAZON.
