There is a low battery warning, power saving function, and an approximate battery life of 5 months on afull charge without further exposure to light.

Comments about Casio Casio GW3000B-1 Atomic Solar Multi Band Riseman Watch:
The watch looks great and is very well made. I like bigger watches and this watch falls into that category. It is atomic, solar, analog and buttons are also nice looking and easily accessible. It has a curved glass which seems to make watch more readable. There is no light on this watch, but green glow works ok in the dark.
On the other side I didn't like how stopwatch is implemented: Sometimes takes time to get ready, Second hand shows 1/10sec, left dial shows 1/100sec, right dial indicates seconds & minutes on a 24min dial? Hmm, quite confusing..
Anyway, despite minor weaknesses I am happy with my purchase and like this watch overall.
