I have long been a lover of watches, particularly the G-shock line. Extremely durable, functional and relatively inexpensive, I have had a G-shock since the early 1990s and have never looked back. Recently, Casio has elevated the watch to what I think may be among the "coolest tools" ever. My most recent G-Shock was the GW1200A, as rugged as always, but now with solar power and the "Wave Ceptor" atomic clock synchronization, this dual display analog/digital watch represented the culmination of many years of striving for perfection.
I really liked the elegant metal band and the very sweet analog+digital display. But several of the pins had broken over the past few years and I began to crave something newer and more elegant still...
Enter the GS1100BR-1A. This is a magnificent watch in every regard.
Differences from the old GW1200A:
The Good:
-Even more elegant-looking pure analog display
-Very fancy mechanics given all things are done with the analog display
-Thinner and lighter than the GW1200A
-Still has almost all the features: Wave Ceptor, Solar Power, World Clock, Stopwatch.
-Super handsome rose-gold highlights
The Bad:
-Back to a plastic band...
-Some shenanigans when switching modes due to the fancy pure analog display (you have to wait for awhile while it adjusts to the next time zone or alarm setting and you can't do anything while this happens)
-No countdown timer function
-Stopwatch is a little tough to read given the minutes are on one of the tiny hands
-No backlight (!)
Summary: A more elegant watch that aims to be something closer to a dress watch than the GW1200A, the few compromises are welcome for an overall spectacular product that I highly recommend.

I ordered my watch & it arrived in pristine condition. Upon taking it out of the box, it did not take much light to get it activated. As other people have pointed out previously, the watch is big and the manual is about 40 pages (thickness of manual is due to other languages within manual). At first I was a little confused about the smaller three dials, however going clockwise from top-left to the bottom they are: 24-hour/military time, modes/days of week, and second hand. The large second hand is the stop-watch second hand & is used for other settings, not for counting seconds. This design is obviously to conserve the energy charge on the internal solar-powered battery.
If you know anything about vi in UNIX, the watch modes are the same way. First set the mode that you want the watch to be in, certain dials will move to indicate what mode it is in, then you can adjust the settings.
I had an issue following the alarm clock settings with the manual & could not get it to work. However, I found an Easy Guide to Setting G Shock Giez pdf on Casio's website (use Google to search) which had alarm clock instructions that made it easier to figure out. After that, it was child's play to set the alarm.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase & now I just want to make sure that I don't scratch it or bang it into anything while using it. :)

This is close to a perfect watch. Very comfortable and well designed. Easy to read face. Just wished the auto time tracking would automatically change with the various time zones. Resetting at each of multiple time zones can be time consuming and troublesome. Time adjustments could be a bit less complicated. Great color combo. Sharp looking watch. Nice customer service.
