 Does exactly what it claims to do. August 30, 2010
William Shipman (Lawrenceville, GA)
This watch does exactly what it is supposed to do. The barometer works great. The thermometer does not work when on your wrist but it never claimed to. The altimeter works when you set a reference. It works off of barometric pressure so any change in pressure in this mode will mean ascent or descent. If the weather changes while in this mode it will throw your altimeter readings off. I suggest going to Casio's website and reading up on module 3147 before you buy it. Overall a great watch.
 Not the 007 watch you think it is. August 9, 2010

The watch keeps accurate time and the stop watch/timers are great (used for referee of soccer games) and that's why I bought it. The gimmicks suck...I have no idea what the temperature sensor is reading...it's not my body temperature, it's not the ambient temperature so it is useless. The barometer, elevation (altimeter) readings are no where accurate (I didn't expect to use it to fly a plane) however they are not even close to reality! So don't spend the money on this watch when the less expensive model without the stupid gimmicks will do what you want.
Altimeter issues August 4, 2010
Michael L. Robino (South Carolina)
Basically I do like this watch. Suprisingly light and even on my small wrist it fits well. I like the ease of most of the function but I'm not happy with the altimeter function. Based on the instructions this watch "calculates" the altitude based on the barometric pressure. I live at the beach so I'm pretty sure what my altitude is. Out of the box the reading was -120feet which was obviously wrong since my feet were in the surf. Technical support said I had to set a reference altitude, which the instructions say you can do if you need a benchmark but never said you had to do. I tried this and it didn't seem to work because the next day at the same location the watch had a very different reading. I returned that watch to Amazon which was very easy and no questions asked and shortly received a new watch. To my disapointment....the same situation !! I can set a reference altitude and come back hours later and its as much as 80 feet different. The only thing I can think of is that here on the beach in the summer we get alot of pop up thunder storms. The barometric pressure changes pretty drastically up and down all day and maybe that is confusing the watch ???? With that said, the barometer works great as do the other functions. I do like the watch but feel a bit let down by the altimeter.
Amazing Techie watch...but Atomic receiver a little weak. July 24, 2010
Steven T. Elayda (Fremont, CA USA)
The GW9200, along with the GWM5600 series watches are probably the best G-Shocks out there.
You have the STANDARDS:
-World Time
-Stopwatch
-24Hr Countdown Timer (versus 60 minutes on others)
-5 Alarms
-Tough Solar
-Atomic time Calibration (6 bands)
-Full Auto illumination
In addition, you get a Twin Sensor Pressure-based Altimeter/Barometer and a Thermometer.
The style is very sleek and looks great-smart layout of time and other information. The "Red Eye" along with the red Altimeter button brings contrast to the black/gray bezel and the metal (coated?) "G" light-button stands out. The weight is very light and with the double-buckle resin straps, sits comfortably on my wrist. The sensor doesn't get in the way if worn on the left or right hand.
As for accuracy of the sensors: Altimeter is very wonky, and I don't use it much. The Barometer is so-so, which can help you determine if weather is improving/declining/stays the same (I don't have another barometer to compare it to). The Thermometer will pick up the heat from your body, so it is recommended to remove for about 20 minutes before getting a reading. I notice that the reading tends to be 4 degrees C warmer if worn on my wrist versus the temperature in the controlled environment where I work, so I adjusted the calibration to negate that. It's about +/- one degree during normal activities; warmer if I'm working out.
The BEST thing (IMHO) about this module is that the current time shows across all modes (except the last REC mode- recording ascent/descent).
The WORST thing (IMHO) is the Atomic receiver. It is unable to receive the Atomic signal when positioned right beside my GWM5600, AWG101 and GW6900, which receives it nightly. I get it when manually done outside at night. I thought I had a defect and was about to return it because of all the error messages after each attempt. I finally got a successful time calibration on the third night- the trick is to find a spot with a constant signal strength of L3. A little disappointing really, since I could have gotten the Tough Solar, non-Atomic all gray version for a little cheaper.
[UPDATE] 07/27/2010
{After the initial manual time calibration, my watch had no problems syncing overnight alongside my other Solar Atomic G-Shocks. With this issue resolved, there are no longer any shortcomings on this watch!}
But beside the shortcomings, the GW9200 has become my favorite G-Shock watch. I highly recommend it!

This watch was my first experiment in the digital chronometer direction, and I really wanted it to work. It didn't, but it wasn't the watch's fault. I'm afraid my senior citizen eyes just aren't up to the task. Except for the primary display, the characters on the face are too small for me to read, even with my bifocals. I could have read them with a magnifying glass, I suppose, but I didn't have enough hands to keep the manual open to the right page, operate the watch, and hold a magnifying glass in position. The functions are excellent, and the manual does a good job of explaining how to use them. I would have no difficulty recommending this watch to someone with better eyesight.
