Need some details on the Barlow. Inquiring minds want to know

Thanks! I just posted another few pics and info about it here. Made by the great Gene Wiseman in OK.

I'd never heard of him. I did a search after reading your other post. He makes nice knives.

This G-Shock's been taking a beating for about a dozen years. I have a few Citizens that I may wear for a few hours when I have to dress up, (maybe once or twice a year), otherwise the G-Shock stays on my wrist 24/7.

The engineering geek in me likes these G-Shocks with the teeny tiny solar panels

Then you'd love the model that I have. It's solar/atomic. From the description:
"Atomic G-Shock watches adjust time automatically by receiving radio signals from atomic clocks (like NIST in the US) overnight, syncing to UTC time, and then applying your home city and DST settings.

I occasionally get on the U.S. Naval Observatory web site, and check my time with their atomic clock. It's always accurate to the second.

The one in the pic, an M5610U, is supposed to get radio signals for the time. It does keep excellent time, but I think I had to adjust it for the time change in November. It didn't change back so...

I think the problem is that the watch connects & updates before the official time change at 2AM. Mine is either one hour ahead or behind for a day, but adjusts to the correct time the next night. Next time change, wait a day, and see if it automatically adjusts to the new time.

Gotcha

My WV58 resets at mid night. On the time change day in spring, it springs ahead from "00:00" to "01:00".
On the fall back day, it resets from "00:00" to "23:00" (it does not try to auto reset at midnight again that morning.)
