A tough gadget, yet extremely sleek design, which goes well with formal or casual wear. Equipped with essential functions like countdown timer, stopwatch, 5 alarms, Neobrite and auto LED light, this watch is also solar-powered and has a multi-band radio signal receiver (Singapore is not within the range though). Most importantly, it has an analog and digital display, water resistant + stainless steel the features that attract me other than the outlook. However Im a little dissapointed with the size of the watch face, I was hoping it could be slightly bigger as that would look better on a large wrist.
Overall, I believe Ive made the right choice. This is the perfect gift for my boyfriend and he loves it!

For people like me who love high-precision watches with an abundance of features, theres nothing not to like about the Casio G-Shock MTG-1500. At less than GBP300, even the price is extremely attractive for this level of technology. Great communication and very fast delivery, thank you very much !!!

The watch was a good size and my partner was very pleased with it. It has so many features and all of them can be made use of. The style and colour of the watch keeps it looking classy.

It is a really excellent piece - equally good with a suit or sportswear. The number of options for different countries is outstanding and I am particularly impressed with the atomic timekeeping. I didnt even have to manually adjust for daylight savings time.

First of all ordered it and received it very quickly, thank you for that Watch Shop.

The watch is ideal, I have always gone for Casio, as being a gadget man, they make a very varying types of time pieces.

This one being no exception, excellent build, for a G-Shock not too heavy, I found it easy to use only because I own so many Casios, but the book could do with some enlarging. All in all impressed.

I am loving this watch! Service and delivery was prompt..excellent piece! robust build of material, functions are easy to learn and set up but the only thing I am gutted is the model which on advert it is MTG-1500-1AER but actually the model I have received was the MTG-1500-1AJF but nevertheless I am satisfied with this piece of engineering!

Having broken a number of watches in recent years I decided to try a watch specifically designed to be a bit more rugged. This is a very smart looking watch, and not as bulky as the standard G-Shock watches - actually only a fraction bulkier than most watches. There are a lot of functions on there, which do take a while to learn, but the manual is fairly clear and easy enough to flick through to check back on something. Overall a really nice looking watch, which feels very well made, which I would recommend to anyone.

I used to own an old Waveceptor which I thought was great at the time, however the MTG-1500 range in comparison is in a different league.
The watch itself, although being big, is nowhere near as chunky as my old Waveceptor, and thanks to that the weight is greatly reduced.
The watch does not stand out too far from the wrist but as I do not tend to wear many dress shirts I could not testify to how it fits with cufflinks or such. But I guess if your everyday attire is a suit then the Gshock range may not be what you are interested in.
The hands are easily readable in all conditions and if you are familiar with G-Shocks in general you will not have any trouble going through the settings and configuring your watch.
The digital display is easy to read however some may find the US date format confusing. Fortunately all of my previous G-shocks have been imports so the date format was not an issue for myself.
The steel and resin strap is very comfortable. And what I find is a nice touch is the two resin "bumpers" on the clasp to reduce the amount of scratches when resting your wrist on a surface.
With regards to the strap again I have a 20cm wrist and had to remove two links in order to get a snug fit. So those of you concerned about bracelt size should not worry.
In all this watch is an excellent all round general use watch which I am sure will keep me going for years to come.

A really stunning looking watch. The stainless steel and black resin bracelet looks sporty but is also smart enough for the office. The bracelet links and clasp are top quality, built to last, and comfortable. For a G Shock watch the casing is a nice size, not too thick, and does not feel heavy to wear.
The main hands are easy to see and impressive, as the minute hand incrementaly moves every 10 seconds. The hands glow in the dark or alternatively can be viewed using the LED light.
The small hands on the stop watch and mode indicator dials are also impressive to see as they motor increntally around.
The LCD displays are not illuminated well by the LED light, the bottom LCD display can just about be made out but the upper LCD display cannot be seen at all.
The LCD displays are at times hard to read as they are covered by the main hands but this is an expected downside of a combined analogue and LCD watch.
Good close vision eye sight is required to read the lettering around the small left hand mode dial and to see the upper right 'alarm on' LCD indication. The instruction booklet is too small to use. Instead go to Casio UK web site and down load the A4 size manual for watch type 5055. There is also a useful YouTube video of the MTG-1500-1AJF watch, which is nearly identical to the MTG-1500-1AER watch.
I did not find it difficult to master the watch modes and functions. Many of the setting operations are the same as my previous Casio LCD watch.
In conclusion, I am very very pleased with this watch.

I can't tell you how long I spent looking different Casio watches on the Internet before I chose the Casio G-Shock Premium MT-G Alarm Chronograph (MTG-1500-1AER) from the Watch Shop.

I'd previously owned a Casio Waveceptor which has served me well for upwards of five years now without a hiccup or a battery change for that matter, given that it is solar powered as well.

I wanted something that had the same radio controlled time keeping and solar power; that looked smart enough to wear in a more formal setting, yet 'cool' and rugged enough for everyday use; that had both analogue and digital displays and would switch easily between time zones.

Whist many G-Shock watches offer all of these features the MTG-1500 (for me) provides the best combination of looks, ease of use, features and practicality at a price that is hard to beat.

I'm not generally a fan of metal bracelet straps but the combination of stainless steel with resin insets works well. The catch on the clasp is a great feature and stops the clasp speinging open when you don't want it to. The watch is large, but not overbearing and is easy to read. The conventional black on white LCD displays are a doddle to read in bright conditions and the LED illumination is superb in the dark.

I've seen some grumpy reviews from people who say that Waveceptor watches can be difficult to set up or are overly complicated; if you take some time to study the manual you shouldn't have any problems. If you want a watch with lots of features you've got to expect to have to learn how to use them.

In my case once I'd set the home time zone and intiated a manual time sync it was set up and working within minutes.

I've had the watch a couple of weeks now and I have to say that Iove it. I would happily recommend it.

An extremely well made piece of kit, the quality of finish on both the watch body and strap is very high. All the usual features you would expect to find on a top-end G-Shock. The watch feels a lot lighter on the wrist than it looks. Small point, there is lots of minor adjustment inbetween the width of a strap link (not always the case!).

Watch face is not as big as some of the equivalent solar and time syncing Citizen watches, so suits average sized wrists very well. Also doesn't stand out too far off wrist as some of the G shocks do. Quality is absolutely excellent. Lovely fit on wrist and also nice and light. Alot of features in a nice, quite compact package. If you like the looks you won't be disappointed - lovely piece of timekeeping engineering.

My watch needs to be tough, because it will definitely take a few knocks whilst I'm wearing it, and so I am a fan of Casio's G-Shock watches. Having said that, this watch replaces my old G-Shock watch, whose backlight stopped working many years ago!
This watch is similar to my old one, although perhaps a little more stylish with its extra dials. It also features an automatic backlight!
I was unable to adjust the bracelet myself this time (I think I used a safety pin before), and took the watch to my local Timpsons, who charged £5 to do it for me. Given the big saving on the RRP by buying at Watch Shop, a price worth paying. Unfortunately, one of the links is refusing to stay in place, but I hope this is just a minor hiccup.
A great watch at a great price!

This is a superb piece of kit. Looks good and is loaded with just the range of functions that you actually need rather than useless gimmicks. The casing is very robust, as you would expect, and the bracelet strap fastens very securely. The night light is particularly pleasing on the eye although I personally will not make use of the auto-light function that activates when you turn the watch towards your face. All in all a top quality product at an excellent price via watchshop.

ordered this watch on tues at 3pm and it arrived at 11am the next day. excellent service!



watchshop matched the price i had seen for the watch elsewhere and even beat it by a few £'s.



The watch is great, just as expected. i would probably recommend viewing the instruction manual online as i found it easier to read.



i had read reviews on the watch being hard to use but so far iv found it easy to set-up and the watch functions are easy to navigate. it only took 2mins to set the watch to UK time.

Excellent watch for the money and i would highly recommend!
