This watch does exactly what is says it will. It recharges itself from daylight or artificial light and synchronizes itself automatically with an atomic clock in Fort Collins Colorado.
When the watch arrived, the battery indicator read medium. After a short while outdoors on a sunny day, it was reading high. The sequence of button presses to adjust things seems draconian at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is quite logical.
I love this watch, so why didn't I give it 5 stars? Because Casio thinks we can all read incredibly small displays. Those circular "windows" are almost useless without a magnifying glass. The rightmost one indicates what functions are on. The center one indicates the charge level. The leftmost one appears to be nothing more than an analog display of what part of the hour it is. It may have other functions, but since I don't use the watch for alarms or stopwatch, etc., I wouldn't know. If that isn't enough, the printed manual requires a magnifying glass as well. You would be better served by searching the Internet for "GW330A-9V manual" and download it in PDF format which you can display at a comfortable reading size.
The good far outweighs the bad, but the joy of having a watch for around fifty bucks that keeps better time than your friend's Rolex...Priceless!
