Strengths: It's solar - battery never needs to be changed. It has daylight savings time setting. Very durable and able to withstand major abuse. Has a 30 set data bank - for storing up to 30 names and numbers
Weaknesses: It isn't atomic - meaning it doesn't automatically set the exact time. It is a bit bulky and heavy with all that stainless steel, but is still comfortable to wear - you get used to it quickly.
Summary: 2006-10-01 19:34:57 I spent a good 4 days researching watches, and the Casio G7000D-8V is the one I picked. Pretty much all the G-shock watches are very good, as you will find out after a little searching. I went with this particular watch because it was the most aesthetically pleasing and I liked the way the date was displayed. You can't go wrong with this watch. If you are hard on watches like me, then this watch is your answer. It will take anything you throw at it. Also of note is that if you spend all your day in a building it takes the battery longer to charge (~8hrs - indoor fluorescent lighting) with normal use. Thus, at some time in the day,you could put the watch in direct sunlight and charge it up in like ~5-10 minutes. This watch also has an Auto Light Switch (turns the backlight on automatically whenever you turn your wrist to look at it). You can turn this feature off to save battery usage.

Strengths: Shock proof, water proof, solar powered and very nice looking!
Weaknesses: Bulky, thick, buttons tuff to push.
Summary: 2005-04-26 16:14:43 I looked for a watch that could take a lot of abuse and this g-shock was my choice. It is great never to have to replace a battery or worry about damaging it plus it is water proof. I took it to work and put it on a digital scale and it weighed 4.9 ounces. It is 1.75" dia. and a little more than half an inch thick. So it is bulky and kind of heavy but very comfortable. It has 5 alarms not 3. I have not used all of the functions but tested them and they seem really good. The buttons are at the bottom of the edge of the watch and are hard to push. The manual says that you can swim, snorkel and scuba dive 200 meters. Also ride motorcross, use a chain saw and drill rocks. So it is shock and vibration resistance. Casio's web site is $130 and I bought if for $80 using pricegrabber (big savings). I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend.
