- How long does it run without light?
- Casio rates it at about four months of normal use without solar charging, and roughly 22 months in power-saving mode.
- Does it work in every country?
- It receives six transmitters covering Japan, China, the US, the UK and Germany. Outside those regions it still keeps time but won't auto-sync.
- Can I swim with it?
- It is rated 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing but not swimming or diving.
- Is the crystal sapphire?
- No. It uses plexiglass, which is lighter and shatter-resistant but scratches more easily than sapphire.
- How does it compare with a G-Shock solar?
- Both run on light and sync to atomic time. The Wave Ceptor is a slimmer 42 mm analog with a steel bracelet, while most solar G-Shocks are larger, resin-cased and built to tougher shock standards.
- Where is the Casio Wave Ceptor Solar cheapest?
- At KICKS CREW, for $163.80, as of our latest check.
