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.

Good value for the money for a G-SHOCK. Full Screen Back Light is AWESOME! Size of the time could be a bit bigger for us older people with less than perfect eyes. Strap could be a few holes longer :) I have an 8" wrist and using the second to the last adjustment hole. Very accurate. Fairly easy to set time if people follow the manual :) Love the solar charging and Atomic timekeeping. Sync work very well from Fort Collins.

Muy bonito diseño. La luz es verde e ilumina desde el fondo de la pantalla. Buen precio para un reloj solar y con sincronización de hora. Desde chihuahua si puede recibir la hora desde la antena de USA. Lo mejor, comprado con Amazon y en la caja del reloj viene que ellos lo importaron. Original.

I bought this watch in Feb 2017, so it is nearing 9 years with me as of the writing of this review. Not much to add from what others have said here. It is kind of a Goldilocks of watches really; rugged, easy-read display, comfortable, water resistant, solar, atomic time keeping. After all of this it is affordable too? I have a hand me down Apple watch from my kiddo, and like this Casio better! The only complaint I have is that one of the retaining bands (it comes with 2) used to hold the strap slack in place gave out on me and the other is very worn. Replacement straps are not easy to find even on Amazon, and the authentic "Casio" replacement has few reviews and many are negative. I still give it five stars because I'm a fan of the company and because they have corrected this issue with most of their releases over the last decade.

Worked flawlessly through 13 yrs of USMC service to multiple combat zones and extreme environments. Now 10 years after retiring, it’s starting to give way. So happy with it’s performance I bought the same one again!
