 One of the purchases that has made me happy the most. Nov 19, 2008
The G-Shock Atomic Tough Solar GW5600J-1 is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made; or at least, one that has made me happy the most.
First all I wanted, was to replace my old DW5400; which - by the way - still works quite well although its bezel felt in pieces several years ago and its buttons have become a little hard to push. This last fact is a result of the bets I used to hold in high school (back in the 80's) about the effective shock resistance of my DW5400. ¿Do you remember that old commercial in which a G-Shock is hit with a hockey stick? Well, mine had to overcome something similar but much more times that the one in the commercial.
All I was looking then, was for the simplest model of the actual G-Shock series; so I was about to purchase the DW5600E-1V. Then I realized there was a solar and atomic version just for twenty something dollars more. I thought it was great to be available a solar version, since I've always heard that G-Shocks hold their total tightness just until you have to open them to replace the batteries.
But here comes the truly important part of the story, which I hope a lot of people will find certainly interesting... I decided to get the Atomic Solar GW5600J-1 because I also felt very attracted to the atomic feature; however, I was sure it was not going to work for me because I live in Bogota, Colombia S.A.
"What the heck..." I said to myself; "the price is affordable, it's going to be a watch for the life time and I'll be able to see it working whenever I go to the US". I'm not a very often traveler, but that was enough for me because I'm not an actual ultra accurate time fanatic; just an average technology enthusiastic.
The same day I got my GW5600J-1, I read the whole instruction manual; I set all the functions and just in case, with a little hope, before I went to bed I left the watch on my desk in the synchronization position that Casio recommends.
It synchronized perfectly with Fort Collins atomic clock, just as it has been doing almost every morning from more than a month ago; all I have to do is being careful about not leaving the watch next to my computer or any other electrical appliance because it won't let the synchronization run.
So this is it. If you are one of the persons that would like to purchase this watch but you're not sure if it will work in other countries different to the US or Japan, and in the other hand, you haven't found any customer review about this aspect (as it happened to me), this information may be useful to you. At least in Bogota, Colombia, South America, the synchronization system of the GW5600J-1 works, as it should work - I think - in Canada (except Newfoundland) and most countries of Central America.

Great WATCH Nov 17, 2008
Very comfortable, I forget I'm even wearing it!
It has a much better fit & finish than the 5600's of the 90's.
Atomic sync works great, but then again I live close to the transmitter in Ft. Collins.

 BATTERY DIES AFTER LESS THAN 1 YEAR Nov 10, 2008
WHEN LOOKING AT THIS WATCH, I READ CRITICAL REVIEWS OF THIS WATCH DUE TO THE BATTERY DYING. Watch was great when it worked, but sure enough now the watch will not hold a charge. I left it under light all day, etc., etc.. And no matter what I do the watch will not hold a charge. Do yourself a favor and buy the original without the solar and atomic for less money. I think that it is the dw5600. The standard 5600 that i have works great in every respect. The solar on this watch DOES NOT WORK FOR LONG because the battery does not hold a charge. And in my opinion the atomic is a gimick, because digital watches are extremely accurate- all of my digital watches remain within a minute of each other at all times. They are rarely off more than 30 seconds of for years.
My beater Oct 27, 2008
I have a fairly expensive analog watch, so I wanted a watch I could wear for on other, more rugged occasions. After some research, I went with this watch. I've had it for about 5 months now, and have worn it hiking, biking, and swimming. It has had a high charge for most of its duration, and never has any problem syncing. This is a perfect watch in my book, and an steal for $70.

Rock Solid and Perfectly Accurate...THE PERFECT "BEATER" Oct 12, 2008
The Casio G-Shock Atomic "Tough Solar" GW5600J-1 is all it is advertised to be. It's design is not "sleek" or "sophisticated" -- its utilitarian style is simple, rugged, down and dirty; there is nothing pretentious about it. The watch body is shock resistant and water resistant to 200 meters with a gasketed stainless steel back. The band, should it ever break, is replaceable for a reasonable price. The lens is mineral crystal and scratch resistant. It's perfect for the weekend warrior, camper, construction worker or someone in the military. It's obviously not for the boardroom.
Inside its protective, hard, black rubberized shell is a VERY sophisticated computer that is solar powered and receives (automatically or on demand) radio signals from the atomic clock transmitter in Colorado. The watch sports a chronograph, alarm, timer, and times for dozens of major cities. You can turn the daylight savings time on or off.
This particular model is a derivative of the original series of watches G-Shock that do not have solar or atomic clock accuracy. What I particularly like about this version is that it is not gross in size and will fit most male wrists. It's comfortable and supremely practical. The contrast between the LCD digits and the background is excellent - even in moderate ambient light. There is a "negative display" model [I own one], which is much harder to read.
I highly recommend this watch. It's a great value.
