Got this one issued to me: Atomic Solar G-Shock
Too darned big and heavy for my tastes, and yeah, I could see the buttons being a little hard to push with gloves on (probably no harder than other watches though). Most of the other bros in the squadron love the thing - except the auto-hack feature no-workie in Southwest Asia being out of reach of the Atomic Clock signal (which is why we now have the Suunto GPS rig).

A funny tidbit on this watch: It is supposed to be still when it performs a "GET" of the Atomic signal. I think it is preset to do this at 0300 or something. Anyway, whenever somebody complains about not having a good hack, you always ask them if their hand was moving at 0300 for some reason...
