Casio G-SHOCK GW-B5600HR-1JF Radio Solar Watch (Japan Domestic Genuine Products)

For the price, this is probably the best 5600 series square you can buy. In terms of features, It comes with multi band 6, tough solar and bluetooth. You also get five alarms and 5 time zones, which ive never seen before. For the stopwatch and timer, it will display the home time in the upper right corner, something I really like when setting long timers. The watch pairs very quickly with the G shock app, and makes the inital setup effortless. Its an excellent app that ive never had an issue with. However, the bluetooth isnt very useful unless you use the phone finder feature, or cant get the atomic signal where you live. I havent used it since the inital setup. As for the rest of the watch, it looks and feels great. I really like the red accents, its not too much but looks great when you do see it. The multi link bracelet feels amazing, if youve never tried it id highly reccomend it. Its light and comfortable, and looks great. Its not something you need a jewler for either, just a paperclip and a bit of paitence. The bracelet itself is almost impossible to find aftermarket, and is nearly the price of this entire watch on ebay alone ($140). For that alone, this watch is an incredible value. Theres almost no downsides I can think of. The display can be a bit difficult to read if not viewed straight on, but 90% of the time its clear and crisp.Its not like the negative Rangeman if youre familiar with that. It also doesnt display battery percentage, you either have to check the app or wait until you get a low battery alert. So far though ive never had that happen. Overally id highly reccomend, and if youre on the fence just go for it!

I grew up in the era of Casio calculator watches, BMX bikes, and the Commodore 64. All of those things lasted many many years. But instead, today we are spending $800 or more on Apple watches that are outdated within a few years at best. After my 3rd generation of Apple Watch I decided to go back to basics. First off, I love this watch like I loved my calculator watch as a kid. I no longer get tapped on the wrist every few minutes with damn haptic feedback, interrupting me when I'm reading, like Dobby from Harry Potter is in the room trying to get my attention. Second, and what an novel idea... I don't have to charge the watch every single evening! Remember these batteries last a very long time, and with solar charging it doesn't need me to spend all my time outside either. As long as you are not a hermit, it'll get enough light to keep it charged. But the real killer here is that it looks so damn cool. I love the black and red, it's subtle but looks great It's very comfortable, and I don't have the problem of my arm hairs getting ripped out like some other link straps have done to me in the past. The initial setup with the bluetooth app is so easy a 3 year old could do it. The time is accurate to the second thanks to the radio time sync (and bluetooth via the app). I did have to remove some links for it to fit on my wrist, so make sure you have a paperclip or needle to hand. It's a bit fiddly, but only takes a few minutes. As for the black screen, it's not going to be as easy to read as the normal grey displays, but I like it. You can also set it to illuminate when you raise your wrist. This watch is a good combination of old school cool, with modern technology, and I've now escaped the ridiculously expensive Apple eco-system (in part).

I am a g-shock fanatic, and own dozens of them currently. I've owned everything from the $40 DW-5600E to the $3,000 MRG-G1000B-1A. This particular watch reminds me of the GW-5000HR from a few years back, except that this one does not have a screwback case like the 5000HR. Nevertheless, it's a great watch!! It has the same great look that the 5000HR has. The red and black coloring scheme is really very good. Despite having a negative dispay, the watch is very legible under good light. And this watch has upgraded tech too - it has Bluetooth for added functionality! One of the nice things about Bluetooth on this watch is that the watch will attempt to sync the time automatically 4 times per day from your phone, without any action on your part. Talk about effortlessly having the exact time on your wrist! If my photos are visible, you can see that I have added bull bars to the watch. Those do not come with it. They may help to protect the crystal from impacts, but my main reason for adding them is I love the look with them on the watch. I nearly forgot to mention, this watch sports a newer composite bracelet from Casio!! It's got cool red resin on the inside, some of which peeks out through the band when you wear the watch. This watch is very very comfortable on this bracelet. It is light enough and so well-balanced that you might forget you are even wearing it! To top it off, this price is relatively cheap for such a full-featured watch. (and with a composite bracelet) I really like this one!

I bought this watch because of the manufacturer's claims about resistance and durability, as well as the measure of resistance to water and solar charging; also for the bracelet model, since the one usually received is not to my taste. After a few weeks my first impressions are: Positive: The materials are pleasant to the touch. The deep black color is matte and aesthetically pleasing (in my taste), as is the contrast of the black and red, the internal red colors are not evident on the outside with the bracelet on the cuff. In general it is a better quality watch than lower priced resin or plastic casio models. Negative: The buttons are not easy to operate. You can only know the status of the battery through the app, with almost no information. Readability may be absent in various perspectives or at night. And the clasp of the bracelet clashes in quality with the rest of the links. Neutral: the bracelet is very very light, cristal is mineral.

Perfect everyday watch. Solar powered. Multiband 6. Bluetooth connectivity. Stealthy look. WONDERFUL V2 combi bracelet. It is just simply one amazing tough watch!!!

Received this in good condition and was very happy with it. Lightweight and looking expensive. Been using it now.

とても気に入りました。 反転液晶はかっこいいのですが、、よく言われるように、見にくい時が確かにありますが、しかしこの時計はオートライト機能が付いていて、少し腕を傾けるだけで薄暗い状況でも敏感に反応してくれます。 実は反転液晶が好きで他のCASIOも持っていますが、夕方など薄暗い状況でライトを手動で点けなくてはならないのはやはり億劫な時がありますが、この時計のオートライトはかなり反応が良く、何なら通常液晶のオートライト無しより薄暗い状況では、初老の老眼にも、こちらの反転液晶の方が文字が浮き上がりはっきりと良く見えます。（写真参照） もちろん暗くなればさらに視認性が上がります。 しかもタフソーラーなので、腕に付けておくだけで充電もしてくれ、電池の心配なくオートライトを酷使できます。もし気になるなら点灯時間もオートライトオンオフも、他にも色々Bluetooth でスマホから設定でき便利です。 人気の機種なのでカスタムなども楽しめ、とりあえずバンパーを1000円ほどで買って付けて楽しんでます。 コンポジットバンドは驚くほど軽くて手に馴染み、差し色の赤が魅力的。そしてGならではの安定タフさ、電波で正確。反転液晶ながら文字も見やすく、カッコいい。大変気に入りました。

If I would know before that all the modules inside are the same and only the outside bodies are different I will opt rather for the full metal option of the same watch, which cost around 500 dollars instead the 300 hundred plastic one. Also the display is too dark in comparison with the Casio Pro Trek negative screen, what makes this watch difficult to see the hour in certain conditions. I like the red touch and the mix metal plastic bracelet, which is the raison I decided to keep it. Go rather for the over 500 dollars watches of G-shock Casio and you going to get very solid metal watch and definitely choose the positive display, not the dark one. This one is an artistic aesthetic option, but the metal more expensive is much more a kind of gentlemen aesthetics instead of the artistic one, so choose accordingly to the status you like to project. Below you can compare the brightness of the two displays G-Shock versus the Pro-trek Casio.

Me encanta!!!! Es un reloj magnífico no queda a deber en nada, excelentes materiales de construcción el cuidado a los detalles es magnífico además tiene cristal mineral y se siente robusto, la conexión con el cel es súper sencilla y lo reconoce de inmediato además de tener la función de prender la luz con el movimiento de la muñeca, y que buena luz supremooooo! Lo recomiendo ampliamente, además es una versión que es difícil de ver en Mexico o la vende mucho más cara y la tienen que mandar a pedir. No lo pienses más y cómpratelo 😋

Looks great, all the functions are there and keeps accurate time as it syncs with your phone which automatically syncs to atomic clocks based on your location.
