I’ve recently bought the old model, second hand, a perfect watch for a CSI/SOCO, it’ll take everything in its stride, but as a UK based person, I have written the date the wrong way round on a couple of occasions, doh! Now, between the bezel and the red line, you have a very fine gilt-colored squared pattern on top of the black background (you’ll have to check the watch really closely to actually see it). Because it also takes into consideration “half time zones”, that you can find in Teheran, Dehli or Adelaide, to name a few.

The term is used to describe clocks and watches that tell the time of day as well as measure a certain period of time, like a stopwatch. I would say that, for me, theCasio G-Shock GW-M5610 hits the perfect spot between that cool 1980s style and usefulness. Please remember everyone has different preferences and these are my opinions and your experience may be different.The band is curved stiffly at the point of connection with the case, moreover, enabling it to serve as a shock absorber and prevent direct shocks to the back of the case.

Sometimes, a little gap can show between the watch head and the strap, but you’ll be hard pressed to see it in everyday use.

Another watch I had the pleasure of testing a few weeks ago, proving that the 5600 series is good for surprises.

One of the things that changed with the new module is the display lighting, which caused a minor difference in print on the watch’s face. Here a slightly different notation of the water resistance, there a different structure of the dial surface. If you compare pictures of the original and my test watch, you’ll notice how similar the two watches really look.

With the new module, 1/100 of a second is only available for the first hour (59′ 59” 99”’), thereafter the maximum accuracy is one second. The GW-M5610, now the GW-M5610U with updated module, is a modern day version of the original G-Shock with Tough Solar power and Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time syncing.Externally, the model is not much different from its prototype DW-5600– a fully electronic dial and a characteristic shape of the case.
