| | Description | Tough and rugged enough for any workout regimen or outdoors training, this shock-resistant Casio Baby-G women's sport analog/digital watch (model BG1500A-1BV) is also very precise thanks to its atomic timekeeping features. It features a stylish black resin case and silver top ring, which frames a black dial face with three digital subdials (which display day, date, and the 1/100-second stopwatch). Other timing features include world time from 48 cities, 12/24-hour display, autocalendar (to the year 2099), and hourly time signal. This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for recreational snorkeling. It also offers a tapered black resin strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight. This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter. You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock.  | |

 Quite Large for a Woman's Watch Mar 11, 2007
By Simple Mom
"simple mom"
I received this watch recently as a gift. It has cool features and operates easily, but I'm not sure if I can get over the size. The watch itself is large which I can deal with, but the band is definitely MAN-sized. The resin material doesn't breath, so even in the mild temps we've been having (50's ~ 60's), my wrist has been sweating. I like the watch really well -- I'm going to see if its possible to replace the band.

Casio Women's Baby G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-1BV Apr 04, 2007
By Melanie A. Brabenec
This is sort of big for a womens wrist...I am a big girl but it still is kind of big..looks like a mens. I like how the hands automatically set the time when you choose the country...kind of nifty. I thought the whole watch illuminated from the pic but you have to press a button to get it to light up. The hands do glow in the dark but the rest of it does not which sort of sucks...oh well I kept it anyways..needed something to wear when I work out. Its not a bad watch just a few little things that don't make it great.

 Smaller and simpler than expected! Aug 27, 2008
By M. Lam
I bought this watch because I needed a new Baby-G since my old one was getting dirty (it was one of the blue gelly ones). The atomic time adjustment is definitely this watch's big selling point, but it is also a pretty classy looking watch for a Shock resistant sports watch. I was worried about all the comments about complicated buttons and the size of the watch itself and so I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the watch is actually smaller than my other Baby-G and that the directions make the watch very simple to operate. I also liked that the functions for the buttons are labeled on the backside of the watch, leaving the front face looking uncluttered. It certainly doesn't look like it's a digital watch due to it's major analog component, but it still has the perks of a digital watch, with an alarm and digital time, date, and day read-out. (I personally don't use the stopwatch, countdown watch, or the world time but those are nice too).
The LED light is orange and lights up the face pretty well, however it does not quite reach the top two digital displays. You can set the length of time the light stays on as well, and since the analog hands glow in the dark, the light really isn't that necessary to begin with unless you need to see where the numbers are on the watch. But for those who know the basics of analog watches (like where twelve, three, six and nine o'clocks are) it shouldn't be a problem.
I am very happy with this watch and despite my early concerns when I first ordered it, seeing it in person and actually using and wearing it banished all those worries in a heartbeat.
I would definitely recommend this watch to any woman who needs a classy looking, accurate, and reliable watch!

 Attractive, Contemporary Style Atomic Watch For Women Oct 27, 2009
By Mary Ellison
I bought this watch two months ago, and I rather like it. It has an attractive, contemporary styling and a sporty look and feel to it, and it combines several time keeping functions in one unit.
On the positive side,
1. The watch has a perpetual calendar, so I never have to worry about setting the date when a month has less than 31 days in it.
2. The watch always displays the day of the week for me. This can be important for retired folks, who no longer have a need to constantly remember what day it is.
3. The watch also displays the month and day OR the time in digital format, whichever yo prefer. A single press of a button will toggle this display. I leave the month and day displayed and use the analog hands to read the time.
4. For those who need it, this watch also displays the seconds in digital format. There is no sweep second hand.
5. The watch is self-adjusting. When it detects the time as broadcast continuously from the atomic clock facility in Colorado, it will adjust itself so that you always have the correct time.
6. If you need a stop watch or a countdown timer, this watch has both. It also has an alarm.
7. There is a light for reading the time at night.
On the negitive side,
1. If you live in a large city, or in a high rise building made of steel, the chance are good that the atomic clock reception will not work too well for you. I have never had the watch pick up the time unless I leave the building I live in and go out to the middle of a large, wide open field or parking lot and manually request that it search for time time signal. That can take as much as 10 minutes, and frankly, I don't have the time to fool around with it. Fortunately, the time can be set manually, and the watch is very accurate even without the atomic clock radio reception. I've only had to set the watch manually once since I've had it, and it is still accurate to within a second.
2. The watch I received seems to have a defective alarm beeper. It doesn't sound on the hour or when an alarm event occurs, but since I don't need the alarm function, I haven't bothered to return the watch to have it fixed. Yes, I did turn those functions on, but no result.
3. For some reason, whether I set the watch manually or receive a radio signal, the analog hands insist on reading exactly 2 minutes faster than the actual digital time. Some might find this objectionable, but since I never use the digital time reading, I just manually set that to be 2 minutes behind the actual time. This causes the analog hands to show the correct time.
4. The manufacturer says the watch has something called "afterGlo" which is supposed to continue to show the time after the light goes out. Don't believe it.
5. If you are far-sighted, then because of a lack of adequate contrast between the hands and the background, and because of the intersection lines created by the junction of the small circular displays and the analog hands themselves, you will not be able to read the time in medium/low-light situations without reading glasses. But the press of a button brings the light on, and it is more than adequate to read the time in such a situation, though it will not provide enough light to read the other displays.
Ladies, this is a sports watch, so expect it to be a bit thicker than an ordinary watch. I wear this watch every day, and I do not find this to be a problem. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and have had no desire to return it.

Just What I Wanted May 13, 2007
By D. Maki
"Wisconsin Bookworm"
I'd been looking for an atomic watch for over a year. Most were made for men..and some of the styles were all right, but when I saw this one, I knew it was the one for me. When I got it, I simply followed the directions for synching the time, and it's been terrific ever since.
