 Another Winner from Casio! November 28, 2008
This watch is great! It's lightweight and very easy to read. I was a little concerned about the size due to the images I saw on the web but it's very balanced. If you have owned any other Casio Atomic watches then this one will function very much the same as far the buttons, settings and all of that. I'm very pleased overall with this watch and highly recommend it.

Had the watch for about a month. It receives the time via radio signal from Colorado every night without a hitch no matter where or how I have the watch overnight. It's comfortable and not super huge like some of the other feature packed watches out there. The thermometer works fairly accurately. I work in a lab and compared it to several therms at different temps. It is +/- 2 deg F. If your looking to buy this watch for the altimeter, don't. It is not accurate and not consistent. Sometimes my house is at 600 feet and sometimes it is at 640 feet. The true altitude is close to 800 feet. The watch can be calibrated but if it is off at 1 month old...It is a nice water resistant, atomic, solar watch with some cool features that sort of work.
Best G-Shock Yet... October 15, 2008

The Casio G-Shock Riseman is an excellent choice for G-Shock fans. Although the pictures make the watch look big, it is surprisingly smaller than most of the regular men's g-shock line. (I wouldn't call it small, but thinner than the normal G-shocks.) It also is lighter than the traditional g-shock watches.
The quality of the watch is excellent, featuring polished aluminum for the light button as well as strong resin for the casing.
The watch is comfortable on your wrist whether left or right handed and doesn't feel bulky under a jacket.
THe feautres of the watch is where its at...! I have loved my old path finder watches, but the size and features of this g-shock, make me perfer it over a traditional path finder, although I wish it had a compass. On the other hand, you have a stop watch which works with the altimeter to give statistics such as cumultive descent/ascent, max/min values, etc... The watch features a recorder so you can save your climbing runs and look back to them to show improvements. I like the power save mode on this particular solar watch because it is all automatic. The watch shuts down after an hour in the dark, although it keeps the sensors running unless it is out for an extended period of time, in which it will eventually shut off the sensors. When it encounters light again, it resumes out of power save mode. The automic time keeping is the best to-date as far as reception goes. On the older models, you would really have to keep the watch near a window in order for it to perform time syncing, but this G-shock even works in the house away from a window. The barometer/temp sensor works well and I do love the red eye graph for viewing altimeter readings and barmoeter readings. The blocks within the eye are actual meaurements so each block in the red eye in altimeter mode equates to 40 ft. The alarm on it could be a bit louder like some of the path finder watches, but it is in line with the rest of the g-shock line from what I have had.
Overall, I am VERY pleased with the watch and the features. It is one watch I don't regret buying and I am sure will please most buyers. Just can't wait till the next verion comes out (hopefully with even more features, like a compass...)
Regards...

Technological Tank September 13, 2008

By bringing together the toughness of a G-Shock and the core features of a Pathfinder/ProTrek, the Riseman is doubtlessly the best G-Shock on the market.
The Riseman is a technological tank: wrapped in a solid, eye-pleasing, and elaborate shield with brushed steel inserts is a high precision measurement instrument that gives very reliable readings of barometric pressure, altitude, temperature as well as reasonably accurate weather patterns. Fascinatingly, the watch gets its energy from the sun (or other minor sources of light, such as a bulb) and is the first watch in the world to synchronize time via radio waves from 6 different atomic clocks around the world (depending on your location). Other handy features: 24+ world times, 24hr stopwatch, 24hr countdown and 5 alarms.
The use of screen space in the main timekeeping mode is exceptional as it includes, besides the time, day & date, a 2-hourly reading of atmospheric pressure within the "red eye". This gives you an immediate idea of where the weather is going and adds a totally new spin on owning a watch that measures atmospheric pressure. The time is also displayed in all modes (except the altim.)
I found the Riseman extremely comfortable to wear throughout the day even in hot/humid weather thanks to the design of the band and despite its important size it is rarely invasive. The overall feel of the watch in your hands, and on your wrist, conveys the high quality of the materials used to achieve toughness as well as its unique look.
With its Gotham City inspired design, its cutting-edge features and its "battle proven" armor, the G-Shock GW9200 Riseman is definitely destined to become a milestone and a classic Master of G.
