First of all, let me tell you I am not a big digital watch fan. This is my first ever G-Shock and so far no regrets.

About this model:

The model number is G-9010-1. Its good to know it is not GW-9010-1. The difference of letter ‘W’ means this is not atomic. But it is solar powered.

In fact I didnt know this fact till the watch arrived (you can realize how G-Shock naive I am!). I was sort of disappointed initially but I liked the watch so much that decided to keep it. It has 48 cities and 29 world time zones and accuracy of +/- 15 seconds a month which is good enough for me (I dont see a reason to have atomic accuracy unless you are planning to launch a space mission or just a nerd).

You can read the manual online for full features. Google “Casio 3153″

If you want manual of the atomic version of the watch (GW-9010-1), its 3150. There is a youtube video review available for the atomic version. Other than the atomic sync, rest of the features are the same.

[...]

Pros:

-Good looking watch among other G-Shocks (though its just a personal opinion), very symmetrical.

-One of the few solar powered G-Shocks which displays time, day and month/date; no need to press any button to see all three. Good for me because at work I have to write all these three facts very often

-Solar-powered

-Light weight. Its not very big either

-Apparently very tough- haven’t tested it yet

Cons:

None yet

Features I am not a big fan of:

-Buttons can be hard to press. This can be annoying if you will use the rally function (which I still need to figure out). Personally I dont see this a big disadvantage

-Auto light function sounds cool but didnt find very useful. So the display illuminates if you tilt the watch about 15degrees from horizontal. Its easy to do when the watch is not on your wrist. But when you are wearing it and standing, it can be pretty difficult to twist your wrist at desired angle to illuminate the display. Off course there are various options, you can switch it off. In dark u press a button and it lights up, you can set up how long u want it to illuminate etc.

About buying experience:

Bought from the seller Watch Colony. It was about 90 bucks, new. Ordered on Saturday with free shipping option, arrived from Texas on Thursday. So very happy. The watch was not in a metallic box (like showed in above youtube video), that was a disappointment. But still five stars to the seller for fast delivery and excellent condition.
