Casio GWX-5600C-7JF Wrist Watch, Strap

I received the watch just the next day from my purchase. The watch is in perfect condition and full set with tags , Japanese box and warranty since it's Japanese LE. Little hesitated of the white but I think I will get used to it.

First of all, let me adress the elephant in the room: is the negative display readble? Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, as long as you tilt the watch a the right angle. I've attached a few pictures for reference, including two next to the positive display version of the watch, which is obvisouly more readable, but doens't have quite as nice backlight! I very much prefer the white version as I was looking for a watch with a white strap that stays white, which apparently is the case with this watch, so I wear the white one much more often. I think there is also something really eye catching about the negative display and the fact that only you can read it! Other than that, the watch does what it says on the tin: atomic time, tide, moon, stopwatch, countdown timer etc. The buttons are failry easy to press, although you may want to use your nails to get a more secure press, but I don't conider this to be an issue whatsoever. Hopefully, the pictures will help you make a more informed decision.

So, here you are, searching for a nice everyday beater watch here on Amazon - something you won't be afraid to abuse and get dirty. You stumble across this version which costs about 2x more than the average GSHOCK, and I'm sure you're asking yourself, "why?". The first reason, of course, is that for us here in North America, this watch was never officially sold. This will be a grey market import. To be honest, this was a major factor in my choice. As a somewhat borderline watch collecting addict, I'm always on the look out for new and unique ways to add to my collection. While yes, this is another GSHOCK, it has an air of exclusivity and individuation, as silly as that might sound for a piece of this caliber. Second, this thing is loaded with features. All the usual functions are there - alarm, stopwatch, chrono, illumination, with a couple of cool extra add-ons, such as the negative screen, tide graph, and a rudimentary moonphase (really more of a 'how full is the moon this week' option). The watch is of course quartz, and is powered by a small solar panel that is surrounding the screen on the inside of the bezel. The rest of the face features a nice dark blue/black theme that is very pleasing and provides nice contrast against the rest of the super bright and glossy resin case/band. The watch is 20bar water resistant, to which I can only say it does fine in the shower. I wouldn't ever hesitate to take this thing anywhere any time. Personally, I love this thing so much that I often wear it over my much nicer, much more expensive horological pieces. I think it looks great with just about any attire - even with a suit, where it really stands out against all the Submariners, Seamasters, and Datejusts among that type of crowd. This, is of course almost sacrilegious and completely vulgar, but I think it works very well, and never hesitate to wear the thing, inside or out. Also to note, I have a pretty large wrist at 7.5", and the watch sits nicely on there. I think it wears a little larger than its size with the squared shape. So, tl:dr - buy this thing. It's a little pricey, but it's fairly exclusive over here, tough as nails, and will NEVER let you down for as long as you live. Thanks for reading!

Definitivamente un Casio para usar afuera en días soleados durante la primavera y el verano, la pantalla negativa luce su mejor apariencia bajo la luz del sol. La iluminación Electro-Luminosa es muy bonita cómo siempre pero luces algo menos brillante o tal vez más suave, supongo porque es una pantalla negativa. Se que este G Lide no es para cualquiera pero si te interesa tener un Casio exclusivo del mercado domestico japonés y que luzca genial, este es uno que deberías tener.

J’aime beaucoup la montre mais c’est difficile à voir l’heure.
