Comments about Casio Casio AWG101-1A Tough Solar G-Shock Watch:
The solar cell and daily update are perfect. The glowing hands, however, do not hold the glow for very long. This is a great watch. It is just what I was looking for - a G-Shock that is solar powered. Good stuff!

Comments about Casio Casio AWG101-1A Tough Solar G-Shock Watch:
I recently purchased the AWG101-1A. I immediately started setting it up without reading the user's manual. To manually set the correct time was a breeze. At a later time, during the night, the watch received the radio signal and adjusted itself. The markings on the watch are self-explanatory and enable you to operate and adjust the the functions with ease.
The watch is very light and stylish, however, very durable. I personally don't have anything negative to say about this watch and I am very satisfied with my choice.
I've read some negative reviews of people critisizing the back light not being bright enough. I think it is an unfair evaluation because the light does what it suppose to do...to illuminate the hands to see what time it is. And the light does exactly that. If someone intent to use the watch as a flashlight, please buy a flashlight, not a watch.
As I already mentioned, I have nothing negative to say about this watch. It's a great product. I don't think you could find watch that durable, accurate, and good looking for this price anywhere.
