CasioMen's DW-5600BB-1CR G Shock Digital Display Quartz Black Watch

I have struggled with negative displays previously so I was hesitant. I took the plunge and holy CRAP I love this watch.The legibility of this screen is just unbelievable albeit requiring a tilt of the wrist as needed. At night with auto-illumination on, the display could NOT be more clear. This backlight is just fantastic and works so well.I added a set of bull bars to this watch and it enhances the already amazing durability of the watch as well.With its 200M of water resistance, this will EASILY handle every water exposure need that will ever need. Guess I'll have to call off my Bering Strait dive though. :-)This was could not be easier to use for sure. Very simple, clean interface, full of features for every activity, it literally hits the bill perfectly.Although it is NOT solar powered, for the money, you can't go wrong. If you are looking for solar power and MultiBand 6 to boot, look no further than the GW-M5610U-1B. While having a bit busier screen, this would be the closest one to this DW-5600 model.Don't think twice. Just buy it. NOW!

Hands down my favorite watch. I use it every day for work.The pros:The auto-repeating timer is a life saver! Frankly, I'm disappointed more gshocks don't have that. It's something you never really realize you want till you have one, and then there is no going back.The watch itself keeps time accurate to 2-3 seconds a month for me, mine runs a little fast.The green backlight is great for night, but shows well in any dim light. The viewing angle doesn't bother be at all, I'm always able to read it when I want. The screen really is decent all around, zero complaints there.The alarm is loud enough to let you know it's going off, but it wouldn't wake me from a deep sleep. The alarm also only runs for ten seconds, which again wouldn't wake me personally.If you're looking for something super tough and reliable, you've found it here. Oh, I also put a bull bar in it, and it's taken some serious hits but keeps ticking.The cons I can think of:The band ended up hurting my wrist where it attaches to the case, and the resin band itself is not great. I went with Jays&Kays replacement 16-22mm small profile metal strap adapters with the link ends, and a 22mm silicon band. I don't even notice the watch is on my wrist some days, it's that comfortable. I really recommend Jays&Kays for any square gshock (since that's all I've used them for). It's a bit pricey up front, but I promise it's worth it. Plus it makes it look so good.The light switches off it you hit any buttons instead of increasing the backlight time so you can see what you're doing. I. Hate. That. If you've played with a timex, when you hit the light button, not only does it stay on, but it'll be on the entire time you're setting something up, such as an alarm. Not this watch. There second you click anything else, shuts the light right off.Things I wish it had:The interface oh a timex Ironman. I don't use certain things, and would have loved to hide those. Would also have liked to fix the light thing mentioned earlier. Wish I didn't need to get the band done that way, as it takes another 40 to get it super comfy. Although, you could just get a combi bracelet and call it good, they are super comfy too.That's about it. It's a great work watch, and you really can't beat a Casio g-shock square.

My husband has been using the g-shock watches for-freakin-ever. (Over the course of 20 year military career) But always the standard edition one. They last forever & incredibly durable. His last one he's had for 10+ years and finally started having minor visibility issues (now my son happily uses it!) As I found this all black one & gave it to my husband for Christmas last year - he is incredibly pleased. Looks sharp & still has that same great quality he's always loved about the watches in the first place. 10/10

Perfect. A great watch and is a great quality at an affordable price.'

There is no way to make the watch quiet when you press buttons. You always get the "beep" when cycling through the modes. Seems a little silly for a watch at this price point to not have that option.Other than that, it's a nice watch. I'm not a fan of the huge watches that have gotten popular and this one is still a fairly reasonable size. It looks good and is pretty easy to read, although not as easy as a traditional (not negative) type of display.I also find the buttons kinda hard to press because they are recessed fairly low. I almost have to use my finger nail to press them. This is especially true for the "adjust" button which is used for clearing the stop watch.

Looks amazing.

Overall, it’s a fantastic watch! The only downside was the initial setup, as the instructions were a bit unclear. Once I figured it out, though, everything worked perfectly.
