    I bought this at a JC Penny, it said G-Shock on the display, and the box this watch came in also said G-Shock, so I thought it was a G-Shock. I even told the lady behind the counter at the store that i was looking for a G-Shock and she sold me this Casio. Can't blame her when Casio packaged this watch in a box that says "G-Shock" on it.

    This is a great watch for the money no question which is why I got one in the gunmetal grey/black combo. Had it for a few years now & it's been great no issues at all other than the tough solar marking on the top has rubbed off somewhat which is no big deal.

    Can this watch get recharged from regular indoor house lights or it has to be sun light ?

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for your question; indoor light is less efficient but it works.
      I keep my solar watches in a watch box that has a transparent cover and they all stay fully charged.
      However, once every month or so, I put them on a window sill facing the light when it’s bright but not sunny … never leave a solar watch under direct sunlight unattended … you’ll fry the circuits at some point.
      Hope this helps. Thanks for taking the time to write.

    • @chendakala
      @chendakala 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@timetowatch_francois it looks like with very little sun light exposure daily, battery level stays in HIGH . Also the watch itself has battery saving techniques like putting digital display to sleep when not exposed to light for a longer time. Display comes back live once the light hits the dial or you press any buttons. I like this watch and recommend it to everyone. Only con is if you have a very skinny wrist the watch will look very big on your hand.

  • @nukedathlonman
    @nukedathlonman 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Okay, so here's a question as I can't really tell - is the outer shell of the casing resin? Or is it something else (and likely why it's not called a G-Shock).

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, @@nukedathlonman, yes, it’s resin. It can’t be a G-Shock b/c it doesn’t go through the same rigorous testing process. For example, this one is 100m WR as opposed to 200m WR, and the tech behind the analog hands is not specifically designed to “float” to resist impacts (Tough Movement) or vibration tested (Gravitational Shock … “G-Shock”).
      Quite frankly, I treat it just like a G-Shock and it stands up on its own and can take a beating like no other. Let’s say it has the G-Shock DNA at its core, which is still a Casio 😉

      I was hospitalized, and this watch ended up in a dark bag for seven weeks. Even though the main charge was gone, the watch came back to life and adjusted itself to the correct time within moments of getting exposed to light.

    How do I change the bracelet if it's integrated?? Can it be replaced with a nato strap??

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you turn the watch, you'll see that there are spring bars on each side of the watch.
      You simply pry the bar with a small screw driver and the bracelet will pop off.
      You can then re-attach the spring bars and add your NATO-Like (or Zulu) strap. An 18 mm strap should do the trick.
