The Casio G-Shock watch is an atomic watch that automatically receives a time signal from atomic clocks worldwide on a regular basis, meaning the watch always displays an accurate time and does not need to be set manually. The watch is waterproof and shock-resistant, and can be purchased online or in many authorised retail stores. Setting the time on the Casio G-Shock watch is relatively simple and only requires a few steps.

Place the G-Shock watch in direct sunlight to provide solar power to the watch mechanisms prior to setting it. The watch does not need a battery to operate, but should be kept in sunlight as much as possible to provide solar energy power. Wear the watch on an uncovered wrist when possible to provide power to the watch.
