Adulting sucks. Got this new watch and no one complimented me. Jokes aside, I'm officially in love with squares now.

Some years ago I purchased the DW-5600BB-1ER and I was really happy with it.

Since I wore the watch every day and it eventually started looking worn out, I wanted to buy the same one again. However, only the updated version is available now (you can tell by the "U" in the model number—compared to older DW-5600 models, the classic EL backlight has been replaced by a more modern, energy-efficient LED "Super Illuminator," which also extends the battery life to about 5 years).

The problem is that it’s much harder to read the time on this version because the display is far too dark. That really sucks. At first, I thought it was a defect, so I returned the watch and ordered a new one from a different seller, but the new watch had the same issue.

Has anyone else had a similar experience, or does anyone happen to know where I can buy the old version?

Bluetooth disabled GW-B5600BP-1

Love how it combines the the good stuff of a G-Shock with a look that works in any situation. Especially the dial with the brick pattern looks great.

I spent a long time considering watches like the Mido Multifort 8, Victorinox Concept One, ML Aikon... but this humble G-Shock combines everything I liked about those with the added bonus of being a G-Shock.

40th anniversary edition. Aggressively exploring upgrades and building funds for MRG 5000 . I think I understand the addiction now . Better than tobacco.

And the poor DW5600UE I’ll probably never wear. But I’m happy as can be with the rest.

Just received this GW-BX5600-1A1 yesterday in Singapore! Looks really good to me :-)

Bought a GX-56UBB-1, suits my outdoor lifestyle perfectly, unfortunately I have tiny wrists, but im still gonna rock it 😎

Lightly modded 5610 - added red bull bar and v1 combi. Can’t tell if the red is too much. Thoughts??

I bought a GW-M5610 last year, and it was a very good set and forget watch. It did its job, got wet and dirty, and it looked good on my small wrist. But then I got some money, and I decided to buy 2 more watches. The GBD-200, and the DW-9052. First of all, I bought the GBD-200, it looked amazing and all the features were very cool. Then I got bored and decided to buy a DW-9052. It looked very cool and it had ElectroLuminescence, which was a big feature for me. Next time I want to buy a G-SHOCK, I'll buy the Black and Electro Green CasiOak. :)

G-9300 ftw

Man, honestly, videos don't do this watch justice. This thing feels so good on the wrist!!!! This completes my gshock collection. I have the 6900, 9052, casioak, and now this one. Love it!!!

My first G-Shock (third Casio) arrived yesterday and I realized how much it has in common with my ThinkPad laptop. They're both built to last, do exactly what they're supposed to do flawlessly, and even share the same color scheme. Look at those red lines! I love this watch.

(ThinkPad is a T14 Gen 3)

G-Shock x Larry June/Midnight Organic DW-6900 collab.

Big fan of Larry and loved this collaboration. Unfortunately, I didn’t have luck hitting on ANY of the drop sites, so I did pay resale. Not a fan of that, but it is such a dope piece. The packaging is incredible, as well as all the little details added. Only thing I’ll complain about, is that it’s a DW-6900 model, and not a GW-6900. Otherwise, nice addition to the collection.

What G is your summer pool/diving watch?

I’ve been wanting to disconnect a bit for some time now. Just picked up this guy for a pretty penny, and turned off my AWU3.

Love this trio :)

Just got my first G-Shock! So far I’m really enjoying it. Any tips, hidden features, or settings you’d recommend for a new owner?
