Casio G-Shock Digital Men's Watch

Product Information

We’re not sure if “Speed Model Series” is the official name for this series, or if the original source gave it this name informally. We believe it is probably the latter. “Speed model” is often used in Japan to refer to a 5000 series watch, because of the DW-5600C worn by Keanu Reeves in the 1994 movie “Speed.” Invisible solar cells in the watch convert light into energy and supply all functions. A rechargeable battery provides the necessary capacity for operation in poor light conditions.

Typical, cheap, basic quartz is crazy-accurate by itself. I won't belabor the point, but Casio promises an accuracy of +/-15 seconds per month, which is equivalent to 0.5 seconds per day. That's standard for quartz without any additional features like radio-syncing, and it handily clobbers just about any mechanical watch.

Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. Is it unique?– in the sense that it has its own vibe going on, or has a very distinctive feature or design element. For fans of precision: the countdown timers help you to remember specific or recurring events by giving off an audible signal at a preset time. The time can be set to the nearest minute and up to 24 hours in advance. Ideal for people who need to take medicines every day or those who do interval training.

m of water resistance, which is not always the case on all electronic watches (just don’t wear your watch in the shower, better safe than sorry). Meaning you can ash your hand, swim and dive with this one no problem. And, of course, it is also possible to break one— though it typically requires concerted effort. The buttons could be easier to operatePrevious Update: The English manuals are now available for module 3495 (all models excluding G-5600UE) and module 3496 (G-5600UE). As like all decent quartz watches it should be very accurate. Since this watch uses radio signal time sync, then as long as it can receive the signal the accuracy should very tight. If the watch is free running without radio signal time sync it should keep better than 10 seconds per month. Personally, I like this watch. It looks to be well made, and for myself it's comfortable to wear. If you are looking for a Casio classic style watch I would think this is a good choice. o Display Real Estate - This goes along with the "Busy Extraneous Text" If they got rid of the unneeded text they could increase the display area. To make it simple, I consider being part of the inner dial everything that is part of the module itself (every indication of the LCD) whereas the outer dial is located between the module and the bezel.

Yes, this is a good thing. Digital is Casio's soul and strong suit, and the brand essentially owns the digital watch space — the brand's recent market research-based push toward more analog watches unfortunately dilutes the brand's character (though the "CasiOak" is admittedly a smash hit). One of the most convenient aspects of the watch is its radio signal receiver, which allows it to accurately display the time in different regions, including the EU, US, JP and CH. It also has a world time function, making it a perfect accessory for frequent travellers. Legendary Japanese electronics company Casio is loved for its range of innovative and reliable watches. Casio offers both analogue and digital watches for men and women in a variety of styles and colours, perfect for everyday wear, sportswear and more adventurous activities. Whether in Europe, North America and Japan or in the outer reaches of Canada, Central America and China - once the watch has been set to the local time, it receives the relevant signal and shows the correct time wherever you are. In many countries, it also sets itself automatically to summer and winter time.

Technical Details

Synthetic resin is the ideal material for wrist straps thanks to its extremely durable and flexible properties. This is my go-to piece when I’m in a hurry.I know it’s gonna be always running, always on time and I’m not afraid of damaging it. And it’s so lightweight you almost forget that you’re wearing a watch! If solar power was not enough, this watchputs itself in power save mode (sleep mode) and shuts down the screen to save even more power. And even without power save mode or sun, it will still operate for 10 months straight (using it 18 hours a day). So really… don’t fear any power outage here! The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences.

Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. I actually love this case. I love the vintage vibe and shape it has. And surprisingly enough, it pairs with many outfits and styles without drawing too much attention. I really didn’t expect a square case to work that well from a style and fashion point of view.o Cheapish Band - I like the Barton silicone watch bands as the are soft and supple. The Casio band is a bit stiff. It is durable and we'll see how well it holds up. (I'll replace it with a conversion kit if I ever have band issues) The home screen: y ou can’t have the local and home time zones displayed at the same time on the home screen. That would have been a nice feature to have! Style The button tones for using the mode button can be turned off. This means that the watch no longer beeps when switching from one function to another. Preset alarm or countdown timers remain active when the button tones are deactivated.
