Looking to pick up a MTG model for casual/weekend stuff.

Noticed Amazon has 2 different models with different price tags yet they look the same.
MTG 900- DA8
Casio Men's MTGM900DA-8 G-Shock Stainless Steel Multi-Function Digital Watch: Watches: Amazon.com

MTG900DA-8V
Casio Men's MTG900DA-8V G-Shock MT-G Atomic Tough Solar Watch: Watches: Amazon.com

Description looks identical so I'm not sure if its one of those "made in japan" factor that makes one model more expensive than the other :-s. Both seem solar/atomic so not sure what the differences are.

Thanks!

You can do a forum (or google) search, but think you'll find that MTGM900DA-8 is the subsequent model that features countdown mode. For me, combo of build quality, style and overall features had me reaching for my credit card for that Amazon deal...

With due respect, negatory...

Similar watch that pops up on Amazon but at higher net price is prior model MTG900DA-8V which does not have countdown feature as does model OP is interested (and I own). BTW, date code on mine translates to mfd batch date April 2013, so is/was the current product offering...

I tried one on at the mall last week... really nice watch! (The band was long, but I think you can take out extra links.) Reminded me a lot of my GWM500a, but in a heavier package.
If anyone buys a watch like these with metal bracelet links needing removal (as I did - 2 per side), best to also buy a Swiss made "Bergeon 6767-f Watch Band Tool" if you don't already own one to avoid marring the finish with scratches. I quickly determined that my cheap Harbor Freight watch repair kit fork tool was too large for the job, so bought the Bergeon tool from an online retailer for USD $17.50 plus a few $$ for postage and avoided any damage to my new MTGM900DA-8. :-!
