I initially regretted buying the GR8900-1 (module (3269) in the auction b/c I really wanted the G-Shock GW2310-1 b/c of its Atomic feature. But receiving the GR8900-1, I must say that I'm impressed. I'm enamored w/ it. The 'greats' or pros: - The light or EL (electro-luminescent) panel on it is very luminous and can be set to illuminate for 1 or 3 seconds. You can also initiate the function when you turn your wrist, the module automatically illuminates- i.e. the Auto Light function. I don't use that feature b/c it will drain the battery over a prolonged use of time. The whole display shines a sorta dull but bright light Carolina blue (TAR HEELS in the house!!!!) hue light when the button is pressed. - When it arrived in the mail it was on a med. charge. It took ca. 30 mins in sunlight to get it to a full charge, via the Tough Solar charging method (the main reason I bought the watch. - I also love the band, being wide and having two holes in each row for fitting. It fits very securely on my wrist. - I also love the display, having a light green shade atop of the time reading and the red (my fav color) second marker to the far left. There's also gray in the dial as well. Its an indicator that has black dots for the Pwr Saving function (when the watch hasn't been moved for ca. 30 mins, all readings on the dial go invisible to conserve pwr; to get it back on all you have to do is move your wrist or press a button) and the Auto light indicator. I like contrast so this works well for me. The cons (which really aren't cons but don't meet or exceed my preferences): - You have to set the DST (daylight savings time) manually; if this was an Atomic or Wave Ceptor watch, it has a setting to sync it to the Fort Collins, CO radio tower automatically. - In World Time, Stopwatch, & Timer modes it doesn't show the set Time Zone time like my G-Shock Riseman & my W-S220-1AV does. - This is a con for ALL G-Shocks: the alarm isn't loud enough & it only resonates for 10 seconds. You'll be thoroughly pleased w/ this watch if the cons listed aren't a necessity for you. I no longer regret buying this watch. I got mine used but in pristine cond. for a total (including shipping) for $40.15. Not bad 4 a virtually NIB G-Shock Tough Solar. I hope this review helps Casio devotees or those trying out Casios for the 1st time. This is my first review on any item on Ebay. Read full review

Watch is large enough to read. The light is convenient and I like the fact that it is solar.

Its an LED watch with some solar panels to keep the battery charged. Basic functionality has not changed in 30 years. Be cool wear a throwback.

Love this watch. Exactly what I wanted. Ordered another none solar g schock watch and couldn't see the Number that well. Now my son has it he loves it. This one has larger numbers. Its a keeper. Only downside of this watch is it took me almost a week to finally get a full charge on it. But definitely is a keeper.
