This is a follow-up to the video I made a few years ago here... • In-depth Review of Cas...
Years ago, I did an in-depth review of the Casio G-Shock MTG-900 watch. Now I'm reviewing two versions of the newer MTG-M900. I've had the older version of these watches for 12 years with great performance. So I'm confident that the new version will serve me just as well.
This video shows both the MTG-M900BD and the MTG-M900DA. Although they are different colors, the functions and features are the same. Each uses Casio's Module 3406. If you want the official instruction book for this watch in the PDF format, you can easily download it from the Casio website if you search for module 3406.
These are G-Shock watches and have 200-meter water resistance. Their built-in solar panels recharge built-in batteries for years of trouble-free performance WITHOUT having to replace the battery. You'll also find a world time (or second time zone) display, stopwatch, countdown timer, automatic backlight, five daily alarms (including one "snooze" alarm) and an hourly chime.
These watches automatically set themselves to the correct "atomic time" every night, provided you have good radio reception. The watch is able to receive data from any of six transmitters in different parts of the world. Casio calls this feature "Multiband 6" because there are six transmitters which are compatible. There's one in China plus two in Japan along with WWVB in Colorado, another transmitter in the UK and another in Germany. When Atomic Time reception is unavailable these watches will function as normal quartz timepieces with typical quartz accuracy.

Ok, I ordered one on eBay for 60$, and today it arrived. 🕓 So I watched the video again to know all the settings, so now I am all atomically set!

The older model with time stamp is great for reference your security camera footage. Say you see someone you suspect is a thief, but your busy with other things. You hit timestamp button and later in day you know right where to start reviewing security footage. Believe me, it can be a real pain having to review a 24hr recording for exact moment someone walks by. It's great help for catching thieves.

Hi!! I'm an owner of an mtg930. It has the same functions of Your "older" one, but with a different shaped display (very good looking for me). It has 20 (twenty) years and, 10 of them of daily usage, and after changing It's accumulator still work perfectly. All the painting It's gone, but for me now It's even better looking than in the past. In summary... It's a PERFECT watch ad a SUPERB piece of tecnology to have.

Thank you for this! I received one of these for Christmas, and have been trying for several days to work out how to make the bracelet small enough for my wrist - and understand how to get it set to do Daylight Savings changes automatically. I’m not a collector - just someone who has been wearing men’s dive watches since I was around 9 or 10 years old, because my parents got tired of me killing the more feminine watches they thought were more appropriate. It still irks me that Casio has yet to make a G-Shock women’s atomic, solar, digital watch - my Baby G lasted 7 years but died with unfixable buttons a couple months ago. The only watch I’ve had that lasted longer, is my ancient Aquadive from the late 1960’s, purchased with babysitting money - and it is still water tight. Fingers crossed that with your video assistance, I can get my special Christmas present set up and ready!

I just found this watch (the newer gray version) for $60 at a Wal-Mart. If you're a G-Shock collector or fan, always check out Wal-Marts. They had a contract with Casio from years ago and most stores still have stock and are just trying to get rid of them now as Wal-Mart won't have jewelry sections in the near future. I've gotten so many Casio's and G-Shocks from Wal-Mart for crazy cheap prices..

It's very low and usually I don't hear it. I also notice that under the bell symbol are lines, wondered if they indicate volume. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Greg, I happened to find a Casio G shock M900A when a friend of mine was moving into a new home. It was put into the trash pile with other things from the new home and I thought this would be a great dive watch. I used your video to remove two links so it would fit me but I think the battery maybe dead since this hasn't seen the light of day to keep it charged. I'm having difficulty in getting the back off because od the two grey tabs that seem to be holding it down. Is there a way to remove one of these to get the back off? It seems to have two screws on both ends.but they both turn. I don't know if I'm needing to turn one in the opposite direction? How would I do.this?

Before you try to open up the back of the watch, try giving it a couple of hours of direct, bright light and you may be surprised at how well it will start working with a good charge. Here’s my video about that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/armkdpmXsNatiqc.html
