Does it set itself automatically?

Yes. It receives radio time signals from five transmitters and syncs automatically, so you rarely need to set it by hand.

Is it good for swimming?

It is rated 50 m water resistant, which covers hand washing, rain and shallow swimming. It is not a dive watch.

Does it need charging or a battery?

It runs on a battery and does not charge from light. The radio sync keeps the time right, not the power.

How does it compare with a G-Shock?

It shares the self-setting accuracy but has a slimmer resin case and less shock protection. G-Shock models add toughness and, on some, solar charging.

The watch comes with a presentation box, documentation and an international warranty.

Can I use it in other countries?

Yes. World time covers 31 time zones, and the radio sync works where a signal is available.
