G-Shock GWXB5600 — Chaotic Unboxing

by

We demanded that Casio take the G-Shock square and update the screen from the standard LCD to the modern MIP. That’s it. Don’t change anything else. It took them several years and many attempts, but finally they released the GWXB5600 last year. After which we in the United States had to wait until now for them to bring it to our market.

I got one! I picked up positive screen variant, the GWXB5600-1. It’s also available in a negative screen, the GWXB5600-1A1. Right after I clicked BUY it went out of stock. So they must be bringing them over one pallet at a time.

Casio F91WF – Chaotic Unboxing

by

Casio took their legendary F91W, installed adapters, and ran a nato strap through them. The result is the Casio F91WF, where the F stands for “fabric.” I picked one up because the advantage of that fabric strap is longer length. I cannot wear the standard F91W because the band is too small.

So in that light, maybe the F stands for “fat.”

The MIP Square is HERE!

by

Finally, G-Shock has released the MIP square to the American market! You’ve been waiting so long, but now you can go to Gshock.com and pick up the classically styled square 5600 watch with an updated MIP screen.

Models with both polarities are available. The GWBX5600-1 has a positive screen, the GWBX5600-1A1 has a negative screen. Since both of them are MIP rather than a regular LCD, they both have excellent legibility even at extreme viewing angles.

G-Shock Mudmaster: Metal Bezel or Carbon Fiber?

by

G-Shock introduced a metal bezel to the updated Mudmaster GGB100 line, with the GGB100XM, where “M” stands for metal. (We still don’t know what “X” stands for.) But some models still kept the Carbon Fiber bezel. Which bezel is better based on real world usage, metal or carbon fiber?

G-Shock DWH5600 vs GBXH5600

by

Three years after G-Shock released the DWH5600 they issued an updated version into their surfing line, the G-Lide GBX5600. I got the blue one to see what updates have been brought to the software, how the body of the watch fares with its updates, and to test first-hand the battery life.

Can you READ the GA100 in the DARK?

by

In my past few videos lots of guys said they owned the G-Shock GA100 and the backlight stinks. Ok. Let’s try it out!

Sure enough, that one amber LED at the 6 o’clock position lights up the analog hands well enough, but forget about reading the LCD subdials! Those are as dark as the black watch dial.

I still like this big, basic watch. So check out the G-Shock GA100-1A1. (affiliate link)
