Here is a G-Shock about as close to perfect as any watch can get. The Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and Casio Atomic G-Shock GW330a-9v are always accurate to the very second and you never have to worry about replacing those menacing, overly priced batteries.

The GW330a-9v is a newer version of the earlier GW300a-2v model. There are a few noticeable changes with the newer 9v model and both can be obtained for roughly the same price.

You probably know all there is to know about the G-Shock watches even though you are reading this review but you still may have a few questions about “atomic” and “solar” features. Hopefully the following information will give you a better insight on these exciting features.

“SOLAR” The face of the G-Shock watch holds a solar cell that converts light rays into electricity. The electricity then charges the internal battery and the battery powers the watch. So in easier terms….If there is ever a major blackout or you just put the watch up in a dark place for a while the watch will continue working for around 11 months.

The reason I love solar powered feature of the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and GW330a-9v watch: I am in the middle of a very busy week and guess what…my watch battery goes dead. Now I am one of those people that wear their watch constantly and have to be able to keep up with the time just to stay on schedule. Now I know what you are thinking. We have so many different gadgets now that surely a watch battery going dead will not send me into panic state and throw my whole day off. But guess what…It has happened more times than I can count. I love these new gadgets but I am from the pre cell phone era and will always rely on a quick wrist flick to check the time instead of searching through my over sized handbag for one of those gadgets. Now I have to fit in my schedule time to stop by a jeweler to have the battery replaced and then my mouth falls open when I find out how much having a tiny little object replaced costs.

“ATOMIC” Any Casio atomic watch is designed to receive radio signals from Fort Collins, Colorado multiple times per night. This allows the watch to keep accurate time down to the very second. This feature, however, is the only downfall I have ever heard from customers. When setting up your watch the first time you might have to be a little patience. The signal for these watches comes from Colorado and can take a bit to receive, especially if it is a cloudy day or weather issues. But once you receive the signal it is smooth sailing from there.

My all time favorite feature of the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v and GW330a-9v watches: Ok, this may seem silly to other people but I absolutely love this feature. If you are in the dark all you have to do is lift the watch and turn your arm to look at the time and the watches backlight will turn on for a few seconds. This motion activation is really handy if you are like me and wear your watch to bed, run at dark or just find yourself in the dark often.

These Casio Atomic G-Shock watches are especially popular among military officers, police officers, construction workers or anyone else that needs a watch that they can count on. There are many stories of military officers using these watches while they are stationed in Iraq.
#1 because they will hold up against any test these troops are put through in there harsh environments.
#2 they can depend on this watch due to the solar powered battery. Let’s face it; our troops do not need to worry about their watch battery going dead while they are across seas fighting for their life and our country.

If the Casio Atomic G-Shock GW300a-2v can stand up with our troops in Iraq then I am positive they can endure anything.

A little info about the Casio G-Shock line:

Casio launched their first watches in 1974. In 1983, with the notion to shatter the idea that watches were fragil pieces of jewelry, they launched watch that never breaks. Therefor the G-Shock watches were born. They implemented a triple-protection design in the parts, module and the case. With these extra features they created a radical type of watch that could withstand strong impacts and shaking.

Dear Race Car Fans,

Look no farther! If your adrenaline starts pumping watching high-performance motor sports or just car racing in general then you will absolutely love the Seiko Sportura Watches. This highly popular collection was inspired by the Honda Racing Formula One Team and represents the love of race cars in their unique design. Each watch in this collection consists of a high-grade stainless steel water resistant case and contains a non-reflective sapphire crystal. They are not only are loved for their looks but also for being durable, legible and practical no matter what speed you are traveling. Seiko states this collection is “made for the road ahead.” Personally I don’t think there are any better words that can describe the Seiko Sportura watches.

The Seiko Men’s Sportura Formula One Honda Racing Watch #SNA749 is the most popular in this collection. Seiko designed this watch to mirror the Honda race cars. This particular watch
consists of the Honda racing primary colors (orange and red) and its face reflects actual race car gauges. This watch might be one of the top watches in this collection but comes with a surprising price tag in the $600 range. This one is simply the perfect match for any Honda race car enthusiast.

The Seiko Sportura watches consist of many different designs that will accommodate any race car fan and comes in many different types including: The Double Retrograde Chronograph, Kinetic Direct Drive, Chronograph Perpetual, Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph, Alarm Chronograph and simple chronograph.

Seiko did not intend to leave the women fans out of this collection so they created some great watches for the ladies that also enjoy the horsepower. These watches were created to show a woman’s sporty side while staying feminine at the same time. None of the ladies watches in this collection consists of the Honda colors but instead are available with the main colors consisting of silver, white or bronze. Most of these watches will sport diamond set dials but each watch varies in this collection. A great find for any race car gal.

P.S.

Just a reminder: When buying Seiko Sportura watches please make sure to check for the guarantee that Seiko offers and only buy from reputable sellers. Seiko watches are made to last a lifetime and will come with a nice warranty if they are truly authentic. A good note to remember is: If the price is a great deal different than any other stores/sites then it is probably a rip off. Stay away from these sites and any sites that ship from China or Japan.
