Atomic Tough Solar G-Shock

Good idea on Higuchi.

Come to think of it...I wonder if they are Solar Atomic or only Solar?

Uh-oh. BIG problem. Look at the display. Right next to the date is a small symbol, of an antenna. This indicates the watch resets itself to atomic time. On mine, made for the US, the instructions indicate we have to select a US time zone for the time display. Then we can select any other time zone for the second window -- I set it for GMT.

But if you get a Japanese model, it won't be adjusted for the signal from Ft. Collins, Colorado.

You wouldn't be able to take advantage of this function, and would have to set the watch manually.

Actually, my understanding is that the Japanese market watches are designed for use in Japan or the USA.

I would recommend finding out which module the watch uses (4 digit number) and then looking up the manual here to confirm:

Ohhh, I guess you were asking about the specific watches that I posted. They definitely work in both Japan and the USA. This is NOT the case with the German market "Solid Solar" watches. Those ONLY work in Europe.

Here, check this page out: http://www.g-shock.jp/wave/mtg.html If you translate it via http://babelfish.altavista.com you'll see that it works with JJY and WWVB.
