The GW2310-1 will retire my still functional Casio solar G shock G-2310D-8DR, which is no longer available. This new watch should endure just as much abuse as my first. This watch has simple and convenient features that have made this model a favorite, second to none. You will definitely enjoy!
Interesting time line of events: I purchased my G-2310D-8DR on a secured line in the foothills of Afghanistan in 2002. The watch was then shipped to a Forward Operating Base in southern Afghanistan. The G-2310D-8DR held up to many harsh conditions in Afghanistan and Iraq: Combat Operations, Extreme Heat, Extreme Cold, High Altitudes and Water. For the curious, depths of water did not exceed 4 meters.
There are a few differences between my old model versus the new. The GW2310-1 is atomic, has a resin band, no year display and does not have a data bank. I will definitely miss the stainless steel band as I am certain the resin band will be the first thing to fail. My only other solution is a custom made 550 paracord band.
What's great about it: Durable Watch Case, Accurate, EL Light

Over-all this has been a great case. The case is as small as it's gonna get. I did notice that the film that covers the Camera lenses (front and back) degrades the picture quality.

I have AT&T.
CALL SIGNAL STRENGTH: Since using the Galaxy s3 the signal strength has been great. Where I would have dead zones, I now have signal.
BATTERY LIFE: I have had no issue. I can easily stop background processes not needed. Power Save option does work. I also use Airplane Mode often when I do not want the phone as a signal device.
PROCESSOR: The processor is fast and responds very well. Clearing out the RAM is easy and easy to access.
BLUETOOTH SIGNAL STRENGTH: The distance with the signal strength is not too bad. Much better than my previous phone.
Wi-Fi: Connecting to Wi-Fi is instant, with no issues.
MOBILE INTERNET: Fast and reliable.
PICTURE QUALITY: Flash actually does well. Low light pictures become granular.
PICTURE QUALITY *WITH* A CASE: My case has a screen protector over the lenses, so there is slight degradation.
SCREEN BRIGHTNESS: The screen brightness can be adjusted. I have not had any issues viewing screen contents when outside and the sun is at it's brightest.
PHONE CONSTRUCTION: With-out a case, I really have no issue with the construction. However, the clips of the battery cover feel as though they maybe easy to break. Ability to easily remove the battery will allow me to replace the battery over time.
MEMORY - Internal and Expandable: Has approximately 11 GB of usable storage with ability to expand to 64 GB. i have noticed that the internal memory read/write speed is surprisingly fast.
My old phone was 2 years old (HTC Desire). An upgrade was long overdue. I am glad I have the Samsung Galaxy 3s.
What's great about it: Signal Strength, Fast Boot, Features, Removable Memory and Battery, Ability to clear RAM, Battery Life

Changing from iPhone to Samsung - Galaxy S III 4G
I bought an iPhone 5 months ago. can I switch to the Samsung on my AT&T plan with the same number and same family and data plan, or does it require a new line?
Yes. However, you may have to pay full pricing for the new device.
