I have owned this watch for three weeks and have tried numerous times to get it to synch with Ft. Collins. Does anyone have a suggestion?

First of all, be absolutely sure that you have set up the home location correctly. There are 6 different atomic time transmitters all over the world, and the watch picks the one to "listen for" by knowing what transmitter is closest. Just like trying to tune in a radio station in New York when you are located in Tokyo, it won't work. Second, set the time manually once, getting it at least correct to within 10 minutes or so. If it is 6 PM and you accidentally set the watch to 6 AM (been there, done that) the watch will not "listen" for the time broadcast at the proper time. These time transmitters operate at very low radio frequencies, and the radio signals don't carry very well during the day time. They are easiest to receive between midnight and about 5 AM local time. If either of those things are set wrong, automatic sync is almost guaranteed to fail, and correcting them might be all you need to succeed. If not, then the operation guide gives lots of tips on things to avoid and things to try. In my own experience, when I lived in a southern suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul, my watch sync'ed almost every night even though I slept with it on my wrist. When I lived in San Antonio with high-voltage power lines running near my back yard, it almost never sync'ed unless I took it off overnight and placed it on a windowsill pointed towards Fort Collins. Yeah, San Antonio is slightly further from Fort Collins than Minneapolis is, but I'm pretty sure it was radio frequency noise from the high voltage power lines, because I moved to the top of a hill near Canyon Lake, Texas, about the same distance from Fort Collins as San Antonio, and now the watch syncs almost every night again while I wear it. If everything else fails, try to locate a ham radio operator who can bring over a radio that can "listen" for radio frequency interference noise (places in your house to avoid) and maybe even tune in the WWVB broadcast and find out where it is strongest. Good luck!

my watch arrived yesterday how does it set itself it has a blank screen?

Depends if the battery has any charge or not.Click the G button to see if the watch can display. Then read the manual that came with the watch to figure out how to set the watch manually.In the manual, by default the watch will automatically try to set itself every hour for 6 hours starting at midnight. If it doesn't have a charge, and the screen doesn't display, leave the watch in the light for a while.

how large is this watch? I ordered a G-shock for Christmas and it was huge. Sent it back, want to make sure its is not one of the oversize ones

This is NOT one of the gargantuan G-Shocks. 7 1/4 " wrist here and it fits very nicely. Not too big at all, some have complained that it's undersized! Not too big, not too small in my humble opinion.

I've read some people saying the band is too short and won't fit some wrist. Does anyone know the length of the band if this is in fact a problem.

This band is noticeably shorter than any other of the multiple Casio G-Shocks I've owned. It fits well enough even on one of the lowest notches, but the excess band is too short, often popping out of the rubber loop. Quite frustrating- I'm looking for a standard, longer band.

最高です

腕時計としてしか使っていないので、アラーム等の機能の使い勝手はわかりません。腕時計としてだけなら最高です。

１２年前に購入し、２回目の購入です。

３万円ぐらいの見栄えの良いＧショックを買おうとしましたが、大きく重たくキャンセルしました。これは大きさ、重さがちょうどよく、しかも安いので実用的にはこれがお勧めです。

最初は充電不足なので日当たりの良いところでマン充電したほうがいいです❗

今のところ問題無しで電波とソーラー腕時計は始めて使いました。扱いは簡単で1秒の狂い無しでいいですね❗❗

普段使いにタフな時計

機械式の時計も持っているのですが、正直デジタルで電波時計でソーラーが好きです。特にＧショックは頑丈なので普段はほとんどこれを愛用してます。デジタル最高！

電波ソーラーG-SHOCKサイコーです！

以前から使用していた信頼のあるカシオG-SHOCK！使用していた電波ソーラーのG-SHOCKのベルトが破損し、仕事で必要な腕時計が必然でしたので、今回、お買い得に購入出来たことはラッキーでした!!汗や汚れも仕事終わりに石鹸で丸洗い出来るのがいつも清潔感あり前々から大好きです。またよろしくお願いします!!
