Anyone here have one of the Solar watches and how do you like it? I would love to have one, but must save my nickles and dimes.

Quite a few on here have the tough solar. It's a great feature and is to be recommended. What are you looking at, G-Shock or Baby-G ?

Would prefer Baby G since I am assuming it would be smaller. Do not know if they make this in a Baby G

There a re a few Baby-G tough solar models, less than regular G-Shocks. Why knows why, maybe a size issue.

Anyhow have a look though the Baby-G monthly releases > http://www.g-shockzone.com/list.php?category/54-Baby-G-Japan-Monthly-Release and you'll see a few.

Found gw 500a iv g shock for $88. Is that a reasonable price? It is solar atomic and I do love atomic watches. Any ladies have this watch and curious if the size bothers you.

Can only really comment on the price, USD$88 seems about right, that's what they go for on amazon.com > http://www.amazon.com/Casio-GW500A-...XN4O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328868425&sr=8-2. Can't really comment on size compared to a Baby-G but I think it is a (relatively) smaller G-Shock.

Might want this in the wiki but may also be of interest in this thread. I was searching for information about dyeing bezels and bands, especially jellies and came across this (I have a weird search engine!):

Yes, Amazon is where I was searching. Think I will bite the bullet and purchase it. Thank You.
