I have a Casio Tough Solar Wave Ceptor WVQ-500 that's about 16 years old. The battery was not getting fully charged anymore, so I changed it yesterday, and it only stopped running while the battery was removed, now it's back to full and going strong again. Amazing gear.

I've had my casio digital solar watch for about 9 years now. It has the original battery and has survived a motorcycle wreck where it drug across the road. I am a firefighter so it's been put through hell. Many days of being wet, sweaty, hot, and muddy. You name it and it's been through it probably. It is the best watch I've owned. The wrist band just now broke (rubber) so I'm headed to get a new one tomorrow. I am gonna pick up the watch your reviewing tomorrow and plan on getting many years from it. Thanks for the review.

YES the rubber bands wear out.. had mine now for 12 years and on my 3rd band! id recommend the steel bands for these!!!!

December 2018 now and this watch is still going strong. Runs GREAT, never misses a beat. One thing I just realized the four bracelet links closest to the watch are solid stainless, so not all the bracelet links are hollow. Love this watch!!

@@Jdogg51 !! Funny you should ask. Just 2 days ago I took it off my watch shelf to look at it. The battery has been dead for a few years, and I thought it would be a cool video to document replacing the battery in an old G-shock. I bought this watch on Maui, during my honeymoon in November 2001. AFIAK it still works fine, just needs a new CR2016.

I took this watch to Havana Cuba and still synchronized with the atomic clock in Denver, Colorado. It was awesome to have a watch that auto sinchs. Every day it sinchs, I live in Nebraska.

Got a used 900 probably 20+ years. Started losing the display except for a “charging” display recently. Replaced battery and hoping it will fully charge. Just recently bought a used 900DA in case the old one dies again. Great watches..

I wear mine to bed, we have trees around and have a metal roof. Normally updates every early AM maybe if there's nasty weather it may not, but most times it does.

I own the MTG-900DA. In my opinion, it's the best watch in the world for under $100.

Great video. Thanks! Do you know if exposing the watch to an artificial light such as a lamp can charge the battery just as much as direct sunlight?

@MuvoTX

5 жыл бұрын

It definitely does charge with artificial lighting, and you get the bonus of it not heating up the watch. If it is less efficient than natural sunlight, its not by much. I just wear it and it charges sufficiently during the day, in and out of natural and artificial light. Thanks for the commentary, glad you liked the review.

I may have to replace the battery on mine because it hasn't seen light since 2015. A friend had some cleaning to do in her storage area and I helped and gave me anything I wanted in helping her. I foumd this since I do scuba dive. It was totally dead. I even placed it in sunlight for 2 days. Nothing...so I'm looking for the batteries to get this restarted. Will definitely need a rugged band to put on it. This metal band would be damaged if I leave it on going diving near coral reefs.

Doesn't the day change automatically with the date? I honestly dont know though, I just place mine on a window and it automatically sets the time from the atomic clock radio signal.

Just got one on clearance at Walmart for $73. Question I have is how long does the charge last if fully charged and then stored in the dark?

It uses standard friction split pins you push out to remove bracelet links. The clasp also has micro adjustment holes.

The conventional way my friend.

I bought mine last week for $12 at a pawn shop. It's in great shape, no scratches on tbe crystal and no wear marks on the bracelet. It will eventually join the work rotation, but is my everyday wear for now, as I really like it. I've got Tissot, Citizen, Seiko, Ballast, Pular, my "nice" watches, Casio andTimex watches and I always seem to gravitate back to my Casios. I still wear a couple of G-Shocks from the 80s, a Data Memo from the 90s, a solar Telememo from the 00s and now this MT-G. They just don't die!
