Although considerably bigger than other regular watches, even compared to other G-Shocks with curved windows, this watch is somewhat smaller and more lightweight at 50 millimeters in diameter, 16 millimeter thickness, and just 71 g.

Naturally, you won't observe any of these fancy detectors from expensive G-Shocks, mainly because of the lower price but also, because this view was designed for another category of users. It mainly fits the requirements of geeky and picky customers like sailors, industrial workers, as well as soldiers/Navy SEALS. In fact, this is one of the most valued watches among army men. Mainly because of its stealthy design, simplicity and reliability, this was a clear choice many of the ones fighting for our nation did.

What Casio managed to do really well on this particular watch is the fit on the wrist and general feel. It's some rubber wings connected to the ring that may appear odd on the first look but actually are very helpful for the grasp of this watch. Due to these wings, the watch will not slip off the wrist even if water or oil is involved. On a boat or a ship, gas spill can be very frequent, but luckily, this watch won't be an issue on this matter.

The negative display is quite decent and is backed by an LED backlight for illumination which has the panels fragmented in 3 distinct windows each having a specific functionality. On the sides, Casio decided to use the ordinary four buttons for reset, countdown timer start/stop, mode and fix which are simple to operate and anyone who possessed a G-Shock in the past knows quite well. In addition to that, it is also solar powered so that you won't bother changing batteries.

Casio G-shock Solid Colors DW-5600BB-1JF Japan Watch Review

Most G-Shock fans understand the DW 5600 really well. The version we are talking about in this review is the DW 5600BB that's different just by its coloring/design from the original version. As you might already know, Japanese versions of G-Shocks are always sort of bizarre, coming with all sorts of different colorings and variants regarding the design. People who need a drop of weirdness and unicity in their own watches always search for them and treat them as collection timepieces. Not to mention that these variations are kind of rare hence retaining value over the years quite well. The all-black layout isn't a joke; even the clasp that's made from metal has been painted to match the rest of the watch. The only thing colored differently is that the backlight that is light blue. Here is the sort of watch it is possible to set once and then never do it but nevertheless an extremely bugging thing about the watch is represented with the rigid buttons for configuratio...
