Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

If the emphasis is on the classic look and content of the 80s - 90s, then there are no questions. Nostalgia in full.)))
Received as a gift recently for a wedding day.
They took it in a company store with all the attributes, passports, banks, backpacks.))) I would hardly have bought it myself, I already have a decent watch. Only from youth remained CASIO -SFX-10 and AQ-150W. I was amazed that at the time of the sale, my new watch, in a lie of time, in a bad sense, overtook all its counterparts.
In my opinion, they rested too much on the classics, it was possible to modernize the model in a positive way. Instead of the classic rubber strap and case, you could use something with silicone, like many modern watches. It is more pleasant to the touch, softer and most importantly much more durable.
In my opinion, it was definitely not worth pushing the correction button much, but it was worth taking into account the numerous complaints about this item over the years.

ACCURACY ADJUSTMENT is carried out by a screw inside the case, but it is not as easy as it seems. Turning the screw by about a micron gives a reaction of + - 1-2 seconds per day (clockwise - speed up, counterclockwise slow down). I did not twist, but gently slightly touched the adjusting screw with a screwdriver (I really lacked an inch or a gnome))). Fucked back and forth for more than a month, but the result was worth it.
A standard of time is also needed, the "beeps" of the Mayak radio and the Internet time are completely unsuitable, they themselves "float" wildly. I took time from GPS on my smartphone, there are a lot of programs for this, my Smart Time Sync. Just a watch with good accuracy that suits you will do. I had to make a screwdriver from a wire, I think you can also use a paper clip. When working, I relied on instructions on the Internet, but I did a bit in my own way, which is what I wish you.
The instruction article on casioblog was titled:
"Improving the Accuracy of G-Shock - Casio Watches", who needs to google it.

Pros

Hours checked by time.) Lightweight, durable, waterproof, shockproof. I found out) that the watch has manual adjustment of the accuracy of the rate, I think this is an advantage, although the function is available only to people with good hands, diligence and patience. Now I have achieved an accuracy of +5 sec / month. How I did it - see the comments below. I am sure that it is possible to set it more accurately, but I got tired of the process and I was satisfied with this result. Especially compared to how it was before the acquisition. I read that over time, the accuracy of the course deteriorates due to a dead battery and changes in ambient temperature. Let's see, we'll see.))

Cons

Like many, I do not like the eerily recessed correction button. Fig would be with him, if there was only a correction on it, and there, for example, the timer I need. My walkers were also pretty fast. After the acquisition, it turned out that in a week the clock runs away by 10 seconds. It seems to fit into the norm, but not mine. For these two moments it is very disappointing, because otherwise the watch is pleasant and generally pleasing. I corrected the accuracy of the course, but not everyone can do this. Why not do this at the factory?
