about anywhere Casio watches aresold for anywhere between $60 and $99
I've also found that I get better signalat night (you can initiate calibration manually to test this). The bottom lineis that the watch should be able to pick up a signal anywhere in North America,though depending on your exact location, your milage may vary.The resin model of this watch is readily available in both navy blue (GW300A-2V)and black (GW300A-1V). In Asia, it's available in several colors, so ifyou look around enough, you might be able to find a nice yellow or green one(though be sure it will work with the frequency the atomic clock in Fort Collinsbroadcasts as opposed to the atomic clock in Japan). Casio also offers a verysimilar metal model (MTG900DA-8V) for a little additional heft and price. Youshould be able to pick one of these up just about anywhere Casio watches aresold for anywhere between $60 and $99.What I like about the GW-300:Solar powered. No need to worry about changing the battery,even after prolonged storage.Atomic timekeeping. I'm very into precision, and extremelygood precision is what you get with daily atomic calibration.Nice big face and big numbers. The time is easy to read,even at a glance or while running.Shock and water resistant. No matter what you're doing,you don't have to worry about taking a G-Shock off your wrist. The recessedface does an excellent job of keeping the plastic crystal scratch-free.Price and availability. This watch is very affordable, andvery easy to find. Most of Casio's watches are very affordable, though notalways easy to get your hands on in this country.Snooze alarm. An unusual feature, but nice and surprisinglyuseful.What I don't like about the GW-300:Button resistance.
