 Pure genius of a watch Nov 04, 2008
By Minh D. Nguyen
"Minh"
Love this watch.
Good points:
- Solar and radio sync'ed with time signal, no problem syncing every night, just have to make sure I point it west (I live in San Antonio, TX). When I am where I'm not sure where the transmitter is, I wear it to sleep, and looks like I move around enough that it eventually succeeds syncing. No problem syncing in California, Texas, Poland, Holland. I'm going to Asia in a month, we'll see.
- Switching to a different time zone is easy, if a bit long due to the time zone selecton only going one direction - going from west to east is easy, east to west requires sweeping the whole globe, and if you don't push the button fast enough you have to wait until the needle sweeps. They should have programmed another button to sweep in reverse
- As a "set and forget", this is genius. Keeps the time on the nose (with sync every night, unbeatable precision), never have to wind, no battery to change (had several waterproof watches with batteries, waterproofing dies at 2nd battery change), autmatically changes date regardless of month, changes to Daylight saving.
- Tried stopwatch and down counter, they work but I don't use them much.
- Not the least, looks cool with big dial and 3 sub-dials, with metal bracelet with composite inserts. Clasp is easy to put in, and secure with the 2 buttons you need to grasp to unhook. Much better than pure friction clasp, had a few of those and they keep on unhooking by themselves.
Bad:
- Casio lost a good opportunity, would have preferred the 24 hours needle to show home time while I'm traveling - checked with customer service, not possible.
- The seconds hand is actually in the small, lower dial, the big seconds hand is actually a function indicator, takes a while to get used to it.
- Some times I accidently hit a button and put it into stopwatch mode, takes a few seconds to realize it when I consult the time, another "get used to it" thing.
Overall, the best watch I ever had.

 Good Watch - a few glitches Mar 20, 2009
By Shaka Zulu
OK, I received this watch (bought it not seeing it in person) from Amazon a few days ago and have been playing with it. A few points not mentioned in any review or blog that I've read about the MTG1000-9A.
1. Yes the watch case is big (~44 mm), but the watch face under the crystal is not that big (I measure 28 mm diameter). Thus, all the markings in the dial are smaller than you'd expect in a big 44 mm watch. So if you have eyes over 40 yrs. old, it's a struggle to read the lettering under 1 mm in size.
2. Gold on black color scheme of watch is very cool, but the world city names/time zones around the dial are in faint gold paint on a black background and sub 1 mm in size, so they are very hard to read at least for me.
3. Stopwatch can only time events up to 1 hour. If you want to time a 2-hour exam, or a 90 minute parking meter, you can't use the stopwatch. Countdown timer starts at max of 1 hour so you cannot count down from longer than that either. Kind of disappointing for me.
4. Stopwatch does not beep when you push start or stop. No way to turn on a beep either. Since the pushbuttons also do not have a tactile click, it's difficult to know when the stopwatch has been started or stopped except by looking at the moving hands.
5. As someone else mentioned, a minor nitpick: moving from home time to world time or alarm set time requires the big minute and hour hands to slowly spin around the dial, and takes a bit to get to their intended locations.
6. Smallish dial is sunken into watch face and raised plastic bezel around crystal creates the feeling of looking into a deep well. Because of this, even less light gets to dial face and again, makes deciphering the tiny sub 1 mm markings challenging unless watch is under bright light.
8. No LED backlight like in the Casio MTG1500. The luminous paint used here is OK, but Casio should have used Superluminova paint for a $200-$300 watch.
7. On plus side, plastic and stainless steel combination looks great, appears to be rugged. Very nice adjustable metal band with solid links. Exposed machine screw heads make the watch look of quality. Despite being 44 mm wide and 14 mm thick, watch is very light and comfortable to wear. I live in Southern California so time synch with Fort Collins was easy. Finally, every watch hand aligns with their tick marks precisely; none of that misalignment you see in $1500 Swiss Tag quartz watches.

5 Star expectation; 4 Star reality Aug 19, 2009
By SpringFever
"Bud"
Rather than reiterate what other 4 star reviewers have provided, and they are spot on, let me tell you a little more. I am a watch guy as is my son, who as a 24 year Air Force guy who really is into super complicated chrono's. My tastes are more basic than his and when I saw this very well featured Casio Atomic available for only $250, I ordered it. A few nits to pick are that it is very difficult to size and also complicated to set up with very small indices and a miniature sized manual which is hardly bigger than a match book. Anyone remember what those are?
Be very careful when re-sizing! Even if you are fairly well skilled at this and have professional style tools, including a pin remover, the Casio pins employ a minuscule sleeve style keeper that is placed inside the drilled tunnel of the inner/male side of the link. Super caution must be taken not to loose these itty bitty micro-sleeves when pushing out the pins. If lost, you will NOT be able to re-secure the pins. Unlike other brands such as Citizen who use flared ends on their link pins, Casio has what I would consider an inferior design and it is very unfriendly to novices. Not skilled? Take it to a jeweler.
As to setting up the watch, well let's just say first that you need very good eyesight and perhaps a magnifying glass. The instructions are just OK and unless you've been through similar drills before, you may need to repeat steps. Pushing button "A" for about 5 seconds and waiting to hear a 'beep' is a lesson in frustration tolerance and unless you have super hearing, forget the beep...unless you are holding the watch to your ear. However, after going through all the set up steps (more than once) the watch runs beautifully thereafter. Remember, this is a perpetual calendar watch so the original set up is critical to being in the right year, month and date. Miss a step and you may need to make monthly adjustments for short months and days of the week.
Once it is properly set, however, this is a deadly accurate and quite good looking timepiece with lightweight durable construction. It's the best Solar Atomic Analog Chronograph for the price. If you're a digital person there are other choices but for my money, traditional analog is still better looking than any digital display. If the small dial is a problem for your eyes, you may be better off looking at an alternative Citizen model but be prepared to pay more.

This watch in indestructible, looks great and nothing can keep better time!!! Jan 28, 2010
By Vince M. Rubino
"Watchman"
I've had the Casio MT-G1000 for over a year now and it is by far my favorite watch for day-to-day...that's saying a lot because I own a Rolex and Breitling as well. The Casio looks great to wear day to day all the way through the weekend. I often get people grab my wrist to take a closer look at the watch...everyone compliments the look and then are surprised to discover it's a Casio.
The atomic time feature is also great, especially for a business traveler. I often times would forget to change the time, especially on day trips to other time zones. This watch has corrected that by automatically adjusting to the appropriate time...it just take a bit to pick up that signal. The luminosity of the hands and markers make it very easy to read at night. I find myself wearing the watch sometimes 3-4 days straight, including when I jump in the shower.
I've worn this watch at the office, in they gym and doing rough physical outside projects. Where other watches would be ready for the trash this thing has resisted scratches no matter what I throw at it. Overall, this is a great watch! Looks great, accuracy is great, quality and durability are second to none. I am very happy with this watch and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great watch - but awkward user interface Feb 03, 2009
By Andreas P. Bernhard
"AndyIII"
I love the rugged design of the watch, the solar powered feature and its auto-time-update. However, the user interface is awkward. Buttons are used to select modes and functions, but all time based settings rely on the relatively slow motorized motion of the hour and minute hands. For example when checking the alarm time, the watch will move the hour and minute hands to the alarm time, which can take a few seconds if there is a large time difference between the current time and the alarm time. This "slow" interface can be frustrating.
