Awesome watch
Bought almost this same exact model (MTG-900) over 14 years ago in Hawaii when my previous G-Shock with the black plastic/rubber watch band was lost to the Pacific ocean. I have to be wearing a watch. Have since I was a 10 or 12 year old. So I went to Costco to see what they had and that was the closest I could get to what I had. Was not happy about the stainless band. Had never had a metal band before but it was only $70 and was a G-Shock.Would probably never go back to any other band. Slip it on and close the clasp and ready to go. It has never worn out/broken like the black plastic ones do. The watch itself is awesome. The only reason I bought this as a replacment was that the luminescent back light was not staying on when the button was pushed. It would blink on and off really quickly. Thought maybe it was dying and then got the idea to replace the battery, which I had never had to do up to that point. After all, it is solar powered. Anyways, all it was was a dead battery (which is a rechargable CTL1616 watch battery). The solar power is what recharges/keeps it charged. After 14 years it could no longer keep a charge or fully charge (there is a little 3 segment display on the watch indicating level of charge which I had never even noticed or payed attention to). Replaced the battery and did a lot of cleaning of all the rubber and chrome pieces and it is almost like new. Now I have a spare watch for when this thing actually does die permanently.I have never had to worry about keeping it charged or anything like that (never even noticed that there was a gauge), although I have always worn short sleeve shirts and I am in the Sonoran desert after all, which probably helps. Love the atomic time keeping function which works great in my locale. Place the watch on the window sill each night and I have 100% accurate time all the time. The LCD is highly visible at all angles unlike some watches that have matrixed LCD displays. 14 years and barely any visible scratches on the crystal. Has all the features I need. Some reviews complained that the LCD characters are too small but I am 61 years old and use reading glasses and I can see the characters without those so they are big enough for me.This will probably be the watch I will be wearing when I die and there is a good chance I'll never need this spare. The fact that they are making this exact same watch (essentially) for at least more than 14 years tells you all you need to know.Ver másVer menos
