Wow!! You went from Swiss Eta mechanical to Japanese Digital! It's a good thing you waited. Your final choice couldn't have been more different than your first go around. Anyway, enjoy the watch!

Quite a dramatic change in course buddy! Can't beat G-Shocks for the money though. Bullet proof!

LOL ..... I figure can't go wrong with Casio G-Shock's. I had them before and know they are good watches. This one just caught my eye and the Solar Powered along with the Atomic Time Sync sounds kewl. Price is good, too, at $220.00 Retail.

Yep, I usually order my watches through Princeton Watches. They are local, too. Thanks!

From apples to oranges and finally pomegranates. In the end a very practical choice though, you can't go wrong with that one. That is what I said to myself.
