I've been waiting for this watch. I'm a big fan of the Casio Pro Trek line, especially since they went solar, and even more so now that they've gone atomic. That's right: an atomic solar Casio Pro Trek. That makes for quite a list of features: Atomic timekeeping. That means this watch is automatically calibrated through radio waves transmitted by an atomic clock. Solar powered. Solar cells around the face keep the watch's battery charged, and a sophisticated power-saving function will ..

Casio accomplishes another first with the Oceanus. There's nothing new about combining atomic time calibration with solar power, but I don't think I've ever seen a solar-powered atomic chronograph.

Chronograph with a resolution of 1/20th of a second. Stopwatch with a resolution of 1/100th of a second. 5 daily alarms. Dual time (..

Casio's Edifice line is designed to be sporty, stylish, and sophisticated.

The new Edifice EF-505s are your standard affordable, consumer line quartz watches, but what caught my attention was their design. Casio has always been known for their innovative and durable timepieces, but recently, with watches like t..

I'm only doing a mini review of the Casio G-Shock GW-1310 because it is almost identical to the G-Shock GW-1100 that I reviewed late last year with just a few subtle differences. Before reading what's different between the two watches, you should probably check out that review first, if you haven't already. Here's a quick recap of the features the two watches have in common. Common Features Solar powered. Atomic timekeeping. World time. Five daily alarms. Auto-repeating countdow..
