Is the atomic clock in Ft. Collins CO still operating?

Just wondering before I potentially buy a solar watch?

I believe it. Saved $50, can go non-solar. Honestly, is it closed? The Casio lobby failed?

I would get one of their GPS enabled watches. Those satellites aren't going away anytime soon. I have a Rangeman, and it's awesome.

Here's a list of them on the Casio site. Some of them are solar, too (in addition to other cool functions):

I have a Rangeman Master of G. The newer ones with Bluetooth and GPS look great. Thank you for pointing them out.

My pleasure. Those are some tempting models. I get close to buying another one of them fairly often, but I already have the GPR-B1000, and it is enough for me.

I put it on a seatbelt NATO a few months ago, and I LOVE IT.

My Astron still works.

But that Casio looks cool.
