Typical G-Shock Quality with Moonphase Fun,
I love casios and am always tempted to add to my collection of G-Shocks due to the sheer genius of their technology. This watch keeps time perfectly by syncing to an atomic clock everyday, but requires you to do nothing except keep it near a window. It uses Solar Power to keep charged, and will automatically go into power saving mode if it detects that it is not being used, or is in the dark for an extended period of time. Along with the fact that the watch is indestructable (if you’re bored go onto the US G-Shock site to see what this watch can do), it is amazing to know that even if you store it away at any time, you simply need to let it soak up some sun, collaborate with the atomic clock, and it will be ready for use again. Moreover, I love the idea of having a moonphase indicator which is why I bought the 7900, although the dial isnt as big as I wanted (Casio PLEASE make a watch with a real emphasis on its moonphase indicator), it still does the job perfectly, along with a tide graph, which looks really cool. Both elements are great to see as it makes you think of nice, natural images of the sea and the moon. Besides this, it has everything, anyone would want from a watch. On the home screen, you can switch between a day/date indicator and a dual time zone; the stopwatch is obviously very capable and responsive; the timer works well and gives you up to 24hrs; the alarms and World Time work well, too. The watch is aesthetically very cool to wear if its your thing, and you like a large watch. Although, more so than other casios, it is more subtle and military looking, with only the middle part of the display showing red, with the rest of the watch being uniformly black (which I personally like). The watch also wears very comfortably.
Some Cons (I hope Casio reads this!):
I understand product differentiation, however, I wish there was some degree of standardization on the functions of the watch. I also own the G 7710, and love that it has an extensive number of cities in world time, has a 100 hour countdown timer, more options for the stop watch, and many more options for the home screen, such as the Week of the year, etc.. I know this isn’t essential, but if you guys have figured out how to squeeze that all into a watch, why not make it standard?
Also, I feel that solar watches lose out in terms of design options to the standard battery watches. Again I love the technology, but if you guys get bored, why not move the solar panels around so that the display doesn’t have such a large border?
Final Remarks: If you want an amazing watch (or are looking for a great present!), this is it. Its great looking, technologically so cool – you’ll love seeing the light come on automatically by tilting your wrist to look at it, built to last forever, and really a great companion. If you are even vaguely looking for a rugged, reliable watch, get this! Its got more than the bog standard solar-atomic casios, and does everything else brilliantly. Also, if you like gadgets, the moonphase indicator and tide graph are accurate, whereas the protek watches have instruments which don’t always work completely accurately (such as the altimeter – at least not without constant input of the reference height). If you don’t have a G-Shock, man up and get one!

Good but unreliable,
Great watch, tide graph works well which is why I bought it, the other gadgets all seem to be fine but the solar battery wont hold a charge, casio claim that it will charge in about 10 minutes but after 8 hours it was still showing to be low and kept switching itself down into sleep mode.
I have returned it and ordered a replacement as the working watch impressed me and I would like to carry on using it
