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.

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.
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)
Dennis sent me a picture of his G-Shock King, the GX56TU-1A8. This large and in charge watch has a positive LCD display and a tactical coyote brown band. When it came out, I made a video telling everyone to pick one up because they would sell out. They sold out! Denis was smart enough to …
Since the Real Ideal Livestream was on Saturday morning, that made me think of Saturday morning cartoons and nostalgia. How much of our watch purchases are triggered by details that induce nostalgia?
