 Amazing Techie watch...but Atomic receiver a little weak. July 24, 2010
Steven T. Elayda (Fremont, CA USA)
The GW9200, along with the GWM5600 series watches are probably the best G-Shocks out there.
You have the STANDARDS:
-World Time
-Stopwatch
-24Hr Countdown Timer (versus 60 minutes on others)
-5 Alarms
-Tough Solar
-Atomic time Calibration (6 bands)
-Full Auto illumination
In addition, you get a Twin Sensor Pressure-based Altimeter/Barometer and a Thermometer.
The style is very sleek and looks great-smart layout of time and other information. The "Red Eye" along with the red Altimeter button brings contrast to the black/gray bezel and the metal (coated?) "G" light-button stands out. The weight is very light and with the double-buckle resin straps, sits comfortably on my wrist. The sensor doesn't get in the way if worn on the left or right hand.
As for accuracy of the sensors: Altimeter is very wonky, and I don't use it much. The Barometer is so-so, which can help you determine if weather is improving/declining/stays the same (I don't have another barometer to compare it to). The Thermometer will pick up the heat from your body, so it is recommended to remove for about 20 minutes before getting a reading. I notice that the reading tends to be 4 degrees C warmer if worn on my wrist versus the temperature in the controlled environment where I work, so I adjusted the calibration to negate that. It's about +/- one degree during normal activities; warmer if I'm working out.
The BEST thing (IMHO) about this module is that the current time shows across all modes (except the last REC mode- recording ascent/descent).
The WORST thing (IMHO) is the Atomic receiver. It is unable to receive the Atomic signal when positioned right beside my GWM5600, AWG101 and GW6900, which receives it nightly. I get it when manually done outside at night. I thought I had a defect and was about to return it because of all the error messages after each attempt. I finally got a successful time calibration on the third night- the trick is to find a spot with a constant signal strength of L3. A little disappointing really, since I could have gotten the Tough Solar, non-Atomic all gray version for a little cheaper.
[UPDATE] 07/27/2010
{After the initial manual time calibration, my watch had no problems syncing overnight alongside my other Solar Atomic G-Shocks. With this issue resolved, there are no longer any shortcomings on this watch!}
But beside the shortcomings, the GW9200 has become my favorite G-Shock watch. I highly recommend it!

This watch was my first experiment in the digital chronometer direction, and I really wanted it to work. It didn't, but it wasn't the watch's fault. I'm afraid my senior citizen eyes just aren't up to the task. Except for the primary display, the characters on the face are too small for me to read, even with my bifocals. I could have read them with a magnifying glass, I suppose, but I didn't have enough hands to keep the manual open to the right page, operate the watch, and hold a magnifying glass in position. The functions are excellent, and the manual does a good job of explaining how to use them. I would have no difficulty recommending this watch to someone with better eyesight.
Love this Watch! March 25, 2010

I had a G-Shock watch long ago that I loved, but it was stolen. I am not sure what reminded me of it, but whatever it was caused me to search for one here on Amazon. I came across the Riseman. I am not a hiker or mountain climber, but I liked the aesthetics and functionality. I figured it could take the place of my Movado 800 series as the everyday watch. Well let me tell you it has! I absolutely love this watch. I did a manual time sync when I pulled it out of the box and voila switched over to DST (Daylight Savings Time). I was ready to go! If you are looking at this watch right now and reading my review...just click buy! You will not be disappointed!

This watch is fantastic. It's not heavy, it's useful, the altimeter is accurate enough for hiking. The temperature sensor is only accurate after having removed the watch from your wrist for about 10 minutes, which is my only complaint.
However... Do not order this watch from Amazon if you value ever recieving it. I had to ask for a refund after waiting for more than 30 days for the watch to arrive, and purchased this watch elsewhere.
Casio Riseman - definitely worth your time! February 11, 2010

I have been wearing this watch and monitoring its performance for the past 4 weeks and can say that it is definitely worth it, especially if you're an outdoors enthisiast or just interested in gadgets.
Time keeping is exceptional, having maintained the time to the the exact second for the last three weeks. This may not seem like much to some, however where I live out here in the Caribbean, we don't receive time calibration signals. That being said, I have monitored the theremometer, altermeter and barometer functions against readings from my local MET office.
The guys were surprised at the level of accuracy on all three functions and while this watch was not intended to replace dedicated equipment for exploring the outdoors, its certainly useful and can provide a decent backup should your primary equipment fail.I've noticed that wearing the watch gives a differential of +3 degrees Celcius so I've calibrated the thermometer to 3 degrees less to compensate for the difference and is spot on in comparison to my house thermometer. In this way you don't need to take the watch off for 30 minutes to allow it to adjust, in order to read the ambient temperature accurately.
I've used many of the battery demanding functions throught the day and never had issues of the battery running low, bearing in mind that this is an atomic solar watch. Through my daily activities the watch does get some exposure to the sun allowing the battery to be charged up again but definitely no complaints in the power consumption departemnt.
Comfort wise, it fits nicely on the wrist without being overly bulky with a nice wrist presence and slim enough profile. The band design is comfortable and allows for good circulation of air and quick drying of moisture which helps keep your wrist cool and dry.
Weight wise, its a very light watch but build wise it seems to be quite durable and capable of taking a beating.
Overall, this is a good solid and accurate watch for daily wear and I'm sure that you too will be pleased should you decide to purchase one yourself.
