Casio Atomic Solar G-ShockI remember when solar-cell watches cost a bundle and needed to be charged daily. The newer Casio's have a solar cell hidden on the watch face, and a 5 minute exposure to sunlight is enough for the watch to operate for 6-12 months in total darkness!
Other goodies:
- Early each morning, the watch syncs with the Atomic clock in Colorado via satellite.
- World time display for 29 different time zones.
- Waterproof to 200 meters.
- Five alarms plus snooze.
- G-shock construction means it is one of the toughest watches you can wear on you wrist.
- Backlight illumination smart enough to automatically light up when you tilt your wrist to look at the watch in low light.
- Stopwatch - useful for film processing.
How much? How about less than $50? It was on Amazon's Friday sale yesterday for $44 with free shipping. Leave your fancy watch at home.
For the daydreaming dad, you can opt for the cool, black, metal-banded version on Ethan Hunt's wrist in MI3. Cheaper than an Omega Seamaster.
