Good stuff! I've owned a couple different Casio watches since highschool, mainly the mudman, and 2 dw5600 models. While those are great, they all have quartz movements. I wanted something that would be able to tell the time without needing a better change every decade or so, so I decided on this. I think because I'm in college, the one watch will be all I need, so the fact that it's solar powered is a huge plus. I'm a big g-shock fan so this was a no-brainer.

Nice. I have the Rangeman GW-9400 and it was great. I had a problem with it now it's not working, that is a side issue. I still highly recommend it. As my one was a gift, I can't bring myself to forking out for another one I went for the G-5600UE tough Solar, but very small from my Rangeman. Now considering getting this G-6900 Tough Solar as similar size to my Rangeman minus the triple sensor. I think I would be happy with it as it has all the core features I want. Anyway, enjoy your new watch!

Seb W Not certain but it very well could be a power save issue causing this... the only thing I found in the manual: “auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light.” Either way, make sure yours has been fully charged before troubleshooting. Good luck & and thanks for watching!

I know this is old but as someone else living in Florida I had a hard time getting it to sync. The secret for me was to wear it to bed. Sounds crazy but it worked every time. Mine had never synced since the day I bought it and I tried everything. Then I fell asleep with it one night and noticed the next morning the time was right and no longer in Daylight saving mode…I checked and sure enough it showed it synced over night. Maybe this will help you but it has been the trick for me. It now syncs every night I wear it between midnight and 20mins after midnight without fail.
