Casio Women's Baby-G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-1BV
Product Description
Tough and rugged enough for any workout regimen or outdoors training, this shock-resistant casio Baby-G women's sport analog/digital watch (model BG1500A-1BV) is also very precise thanks to its atomic timekeeping features. It features a stylish black resin case and silver top ring, which frames a black dial face with three digital subdials (which display day, date, and the 1/100-second stopwatch). Other timing features include world time from 48 cities, 12/24-hour display, autocalendar (to the year 2099), and hourly time signal. This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for recreational snorkeling. It also offers a tapered black resin strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight.This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter. You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock.
As a member of a trauma and code blue team, I find that the timekeeping abilities of this watch are priceless. Not only does it keep perfect time, but the readouts are extremely easy and convenient to read. It's a fairly big watch on my small arm, but that doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I get so many compliments on it everywhere I go, and several people I know have said they're going to get one, too. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there is a bit of steel on the back of it that digs into my skin, and I generally have a big red divet on my arm after wearing it for a 12-hour shift. Maybe I can find some felt or something to cover it with. At any rate, it's still a very cool watch, and I'm really glad to own it.
it does everything it advertises as well as sets it's own time to the atomic clock and automaticly changes between standard and day lite savings time. indestructable for the active female
The only complaint I have about this watch is the instructions, and ease of use. The watch does come with clear instructions, however it doesn't state the small things, like the watch does not contain all hometowns and just major cities, so you keep looking for your city and it makes you think you are doing something wrong. The watch is very cute, and I love all the features it comes with. However, I haven't found the patience to play around with the watch, so basically I am waiting for my husband to. If it were a simple watch, maybe I would have found the time, but it's not. I bought my husband a g-shock which he has been wanting forever and I loved it, and seen all the features it came with, so naturally I wanted the woman's version. Once I find the time to play with it I am sure I will love more then just the look or the fact that it sets itself automatically.

Many people have commented on how big this watch is so I thought I'd post a couple of photos showing the relative size on a small wrist. I'm of Asian descent so am fairly petite and was worried that this watch was going to be too big for me, however, I wanted something with all of these functions, specifically water resistance for outdoor activities, the atomic time keeping and world time as I travel overseas regularly and also need to know time for when I'm calling anyone abroad.
I admit that this watch is pretty big for my wrist as I wear it on the second to last notch, but I love it. It's very sporty as far as practicality and durability are concerned, but definitely not streamlined. Great for camping and the outdoors too.
I also like the clean, contemporary design. Great for wearing every day with casual attire. Overall, I'm really pleased with it.
I bought this watch because I wanted a sports watch that was different than the run-of-the-mill digital sports watch. The Baby-G atomic watch definitely fits that bill for me. While the watch itself is fairly large for a women's watch, I still like it very much. I love the atomic timekeeping feature, in addition to the analog face. All-in-all it's a great watch.
This watch has more cool stuff than I know what to do with. I love all of the features I know how to use so far but it is definitely a watch you have to read the manual for to understand it completely. The only thing that ticks me off about it is, as advanced as all if it's functions are...it has this stupid little orange light over the 6 which illuminates over the face rather than from the inside or behind the faces. This doesn't illuminate the smaller faces so well. I work at night so the light was important. Should have read more about the little light...
I purchased this watch as a gift for my Girlfriend. She just loves the style and performance so far. The watch is not small but certainly not as big as the men's style G watches,it works for her. Take the time to review the instructions for this watch, it isn't easy to set up without the book. Another great Casio product!
Love the watch. Received yesterday, skimmed through the instructions, set it for my time zone and watched the hands spin. It was an hour off, so I let it sit in the window overnight on its stand, and this morning it was perfectly timed. Before, I NEVER knew what day/date it was (I work at home) - so it's astonishing to look at your wrist for all the PRECISE information needed. Without glasses it's a bit of a stretch, but as I get used to the numbers, it'll get easier. BEAUTIFUL? Not exactly, but for dressy days I have other watches. For all casual wear it's very classy. A LITTLE LARGE? Yes, but how can they pack so much information in anything tinier?? Besides, it's not that much larger than my other big and beautiful timepieces. I had my eye on the Atomic/Solar, but it didn't seem to be as feature-packed. HAPPY??? Yes, I am, and thanks to Amazon, I got a great deal.
****EDITED version: All of the above is true, but I am allergic to the resin band when worn for longer than a couple of days straight! I have to take it off after a day - not exactly what I wished for. I am still looking for a fabric or other type of material to replace the band.*****
I just got this watch in the mail last week and I love it already. I read many reviews on Amazon and knew that it was a good watch but I was nervous b/c many people mentioned that it was rather large. I was pleasantly surprised. It is larger then your typical woman's watch but if you are going for that sporty look it's perfect. I love the way it looks and I love the features that it offers. I have only had it for a week now but so far I am very impressed with this watch and would highly recommend it.
I'm very picky about my watches- I like them big, but not the biggest (I'm a woman with tiny wrists), light- not heavy, matte black with silver. This one fit the bill perfectly. The problem I had with my old digital watch was not being able to see the time when out in the sun- not a problem with this analog watch. It gives me just the right amount of info. Seems to be keeping time very well despite being in the mountains and on my wrist 24-7 (I don't know how often it's able to check in atomically to adjust itself). The light is great, although I rarely need it b/c the hands glow very well. And best of all- it looks cool! I love this watch!
