I Kinda Want One of These Cool Casio G-Shocks

I do love my G-Shock Riseman but these two new models have really caught my eye. The fact that they're all analog helps.

Radio-controlled, solar powered, tons of features, legible, what's not to like?!





The description from Amazon:

Introducing the new large case Aviation concept watch with a 1/100-second chronograph designed to keep accurate time even under the stresses of high G forces that occur during air racing Watch is rated to the centrifugal force surpassing 12 G's. The atomic timekeeper function receives time calibration radio signals automatically up to six times a day (up to five times per day for China), which keep the displayed time accurate, also has a manual receiver function; the signal received for the US is WWVB at a frequency of 60 kHz, UK isMSF at 60 kHz, Germany DCF77 at 77.5 kHz, Japan JJ40/JJY60 and China BPC at BPC68.5 kHz. Watch gives world time with 29 time zones (29 cities + UTC), displaying city code, daylight saving on/off function and home city/world time swapping. In addition the watch is shock and water resistant to 660' (200 meters), has a neo-brite luminous hands and markers illuminating the watch for low light conditions. This timepiece has beeper alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch with a measuring capacity of 00:23'59.99" and a measuring mode for elapsed and split time. Watch is equipped with full auto-calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099), 12/24 hour formats, and watch is accurate +/- 15 seconds per month (with no signal calibration). The storage battery is a solar rechargeable battery. There is a low battery warning, power saving function, and an approximate battery life of 5 months on a full charge without further exposure to light.
