Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF Review

Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF Review 1It rocks a massive case of 55.5 mm and weighs only 88 g. Although some might believe this isn't even near what they could possibly wear, the G-Shock fans understand better. It is one of the most anticipated releases from the G-Shock lineup and even stars such as Floyd Mayweather didn't hesitate to use one as their everyday drivers.


While bulky, the case feels good on the wrist as a result of small weight which is spread on a larger surface. This way you won't perceive the watch for a burden as long as you get accustomed to its dimensions. The materials used are fairly fundamental: the case and band are made of the normal tough resin that we can see on many G-Shocks along with the window is constructed of a resistant mineral crystal. While Casio promotes the clasp as being "heavy duty" with 2 locking pins, I believe it fairly basic but effective at offering security against undesirable detachments.

To get a G-Shock of this size, Casio understood that the features are an essential component to convince the customers that this view is worth it. And they stepped up their game with the improvements on this subject, especially with the Japanese version we review. With the multiband system, you can be certain the time in your G-Shock is always true since it receives daily time calibration via Casio's stations around the world; more on that you can find here, on the bottom of the webpage.
Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF Review


The configuration buttons will be exactly the same as on other G-Shocks, like the G-Shock GWM5610, the DW-5600BB-1JF or the DW5600E-1V, which by the way you can check out by clicking on their titles. There is nothing particular when speaking of this design except the looks of the covers and the buttons themselves. Other than that the configuration and the accessibility to all its features are well known.



While it's wonderful to find the 200-meter water resistance, I doubt that anyone would go this way underwater but anyhow, it's nice to know that the watch on your wrist gets better compared to your lungs to water pressure.



This is unquestionably a G-Shock designed for people who are searching for an intense sized watch. It's no doubt that a number of wrists could not handle the size of the GXW-56, but the watch is not supposed to be acceptable for everyone.

Features List:

  • 200 meters / 660 ft. water resistance
  • Self-solar charging
  • Shock and mud resistant
  • World Time with 31 time zones
  • Countdown Timer and Stopwatch
  • MultiBand Atomic time calibration
  • Bright EL backlight
  • Auto Calendar and all other sweet G-Shock features

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...

Casio G-Shock GA150-1ACR Watch Review

Casio is a brand famous for its high standards of quality and the dedication to satisfying the needs of all kinds of customers. The Casio G-shock GA150-1ACR is a gorgeous timepiece with typical characteristics for a G-shock but having a low cost and not surprisingly a bit lacking in acts. Before we look over the possible drawbacks of this inexpensive watch let's take a moment and appreciate the elegant design of the version. The GA150-1ACR includes an all black matte finish for its case and ring which is sure to gain some focus. The ring is made from resin and it does not feel especially amazing on the wrist but the stylish looks of the watch compensate for it. There's sort-of that a 3D carved design inside the dial which combines nicely with the sleek white hands of the watch. A striking impression is also made by the dimensions of this circumstance. If you're searching for a tiny inconspicuous watch this one is probably not the ideal choice as it is fairly big and bul...

Casio G-Shock GWA-1100-1A3 G-Aviation Gravity Defier Review

The G-Shock GWA-1100 is a masterpiece which has a lot of considerably implemented features in an excellent casing so as to offer among the very best G-Shock experiences. It is true that it comes at a higher cost but it's certainly worth every penny as I'll demonstrate below. This makes it look, feel, and actually be extremely tough and resistant to all sorts of risks. The dial is created of the famous Sapphire Crystal that is the toughest material accessible. While the window is certain to be indestructible in most cases, to be able to boost its durability Casio raised the resin borders to ensure in the event of a fall that the impact will be entirely absorbed by the resin. Essentially, you can throw it, smash it and abuse it at the worst ways, if you don't intend on running it on with a tank that the watch will withstand just fine. As you can see in the image beneath the Neobrite index hands and markers guarantee that the watch is readable in dark environments and ...
