I bought this watch because of the manufacturer’s claims about resistance and durability, as well as the measure of resistance to water and solar charging; also for the bracelet model, since the one usually received is not to my taste. After a few weeks my first impressions are: Positive: The materials are pleasant to the touch. The deep black color is matte and aesthetically pleasing (in my taste), as is the contrast of the black and red, the internal red colors are not evident on the outside with the bracelet on the cuff. In general it is a better quality watch than lower priced resin or plastic casio models. Negative: The buttons are not easy to operate. You can only know the status of the battery through the app, with almost no information. Readability may be absent in various perspectives or at night. And the clasp of the bracelet clashes in quality with the rest of the links. Neutral: the bracelet is very very light, cristal is mineral.

I am a g-shock fanatic, and own dozens of them currently. I’ve owned everything from the $40 DW-5600E to the $3,000 MRG-G1000B-1A. This particular watch reminds me of the GW-5000HR from a few years back, except that this one does not have a screwback case like the 5000HR. Nevertheless, it’s a great watch!! It has the same great look that the 5000HR has. The red and black coloring scheme is really very good. Despite having a negative dispay, the watch is very legible under good light. And this watch has upgraded tech too – it has Bluetooth for added functionality! One of the nice things about Bluetooth on this watch is that the watch will attempt to sync the time automatically 4 times per day from your phone, without any action on your part. Talk about effortlessly having the exact time on your wrist!
If my photos are visible, you can see that I have added bull bars to the watch. Those do not come with it. They may help to protect the crystal from impacts, but my main reason for adding them is I love the look with them on the watch.
I nearly forgot to mention, this watch sports a newer composite bracelet from Casio!! It’s got cool red resin on the inside, some of which peeks out through the band when you wear the watch. This watch is very very comfortable on this bracelet. It is light enough and so well-balanced that you might forget you are even wearing it! To top it off, this price is relatively cheap for such a full-featured watch. (and with a composite bracelet) I really like this one!

If you are looking for a comfortable, durable, highly-functional, looks-good-on-the-wrist “stealth” watch, then you may want to consider this one. Why is it ‘stealthy’?… well, even though it has some some attractive splashes of deep red color, the watch dial, negative display, black bracelet and bezel are all dark enough to keep the overall look subdued, understated, and stealthy. I travel a lot and am sometimes in sketchy areas, so it can be good to sometimes wear understated watches. Solar charging and multi-band 6 automatic time-sync help to keep the whole package low maintenance.
The black linked bracelet is attractive, comfortable to wear, and easy to adjust. Casio uses standard spring-loaded watch-band pins between each link, so they are not difficult to remove when adjusting the fit. The watch has a rich set of features, and there is a 22-page pdf manual available online that describes the full set of functions that this watch supports.
About that negative display: it’s not to everyone’s taste. I’m 70 and have no special problems reading it in moderate-to-bright light… *but* I’ve been somewhat near-sighted since my early teens and have never needed reading glasses for any up-close viewing. Others can sometimes find such displays to be trickier to read, especially in low lighting, than the g-shock models with positive displays. But the automatic backlight feature works quite well on this watch, and with solar charging you’ll not have to worry much about the backlight wearing out your battery.
Anyway, highly recommended provided you are one who can tolerate the negative display.

Me encanta!!!! Es un reloj magnífico no queda a deber en nada, excelentes materiales de construcción el cuidado a los detalles es magnífico además tiene cristal mineral y se siente robusto, la conexión con el cel es súper sencilla y lo reconoce de inmediato además de tener la función de prender la luz con el movimiento de la muñeca, y que buena luz supremooooo! Lo recomiendo ampliamente, además es una versión que es difícil de ver en Mexico o la vende mucho más cara y la tienen que mandar a pedir. No lo pienses más y cómpratelo 😋

For the price, this is probably the best 5600 series square you can buy.
In terms of features, It comes with multi band 6, tough solar and bluetooth. You also get five alarms and 5 time zones, which ive never seen before. For the stopwatch and timer, it will display the home time in the upper right corner, something I really like when setting long timers. The watch pairs very quickly with the G shock app, and makes the inital setup effortless. Its an excellent app that ive never had an issue with. However, the bluetooth isnt very useful unless you use the phone finder feature, or cant get the atomic signal where you live. I havent used it since the inital setup.
As for the rest of the watch, it looks and feels great. I really like the red accents, its not too much but looks great when you do see it. The multi link bracelet feels amazing, if youve never tried it id highly reccomend it. Its light and comfortable, and looks great. Its not something you need a jewler for either, just a paperclip and a bit of paitence. The bracelet itself is almost impossible to find aftermarket, and is nearly the price of this entire watch on ebay alone ($140). For that alone, this watch is an incredible value.
Theres almost no downsides I can think of. The display can be a bit difficult to read if not viewed straight on, but 90% of the time its clear and crisp.Its not like the negative Rangeman if youre familiar with that. It also doesnt display battery percentage, you either have to check the app or wait until you get a low battery alert. So far though ive never had that happen.
Overally id highly reccomend, and if youre on the fence just go for it!

6900シリーズを使っていたのですが、こちらのタイプが欲しくなり購入。
軽い！ 6900と比べて断然軽いです。仕事中も煩わしさを感じません。
ベルトは樹脂とメタルパーツを使用したもので、これも軽く、汗をかいたときの装着感も良い感じです。
感想の分かれる反転液晶ですが、
昼間屋外や明るい室内では、腕を動かしてちょうどいい光の反射角度になれば問題なく見えます。腕を動かすのが面倒と思われるかもしれませんが、本来腕時計ってこんな物だと思っています。
オートライトはよく反応してくれますので暗闇でもOK。
ただ、オートライトが反応しない程度の薄暗さではホントに見えません😑
そんな時はボタンでライト付けて見てます。
スマホと連動させることで時刻調整を日に3度行ってくれます。
ホントはスマホの通知も表示できるモデルが欲しかったのですが、ネットで情報を調べると、その機能についてはイマイチなところもあるみたいなので、それについては今後のニューモデルに期待して、今回は時計機能に振り切ってこのモデルを購入しました。ちょうどセールでしたし、3000ポイントもついてきたので安く購入できました。
反転液晶ならついてのレビューは人それぞれですが、改めて見ると本当にカッコいいと思います。
