I like the”square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.
- “Big square G-SHOCK” with outstanding presence
- there is a reason for the size
Anyway big “square G-SHOCK”
This is the GXW-56-1A
The list price is 29,700 yen in Japanese yen.
In a nutshell, it ‘s a “very big square G-SHOCK” .
I have thought that X was big. And I have thought it was “X of XL”. Therfore I looked at Casio’s page again,
- The GX Series aims to withstand impacts (Gravity) from all (X = extra) directions.
was described.
Personally, I think X has the meaning of being big.
Anyway, the feature is that size is big and presence is outstanding.
| Model name | GXW-56 introduced this time | General square G-SHOCK DW-5600E |
| Size (L x W x T) | 55.5×53.6×17.5mm | 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4mm |
| weight | 88 grams | 53 grams |
You can see that it is quite large and heavy.
The meaning of the size is “mad resist”
Actually, this G-SHOCK is not just a big square G-SHOCK.
The series is called Mad Resist.
What is the Mad Resist series?
- Normal G-SHOCK has a shock-resistant structure = shock resist
in addition to
- Dust-proof and mud-proof structure = Mud resist
It is characterized by having
Dust proof
- Dust and sand are less likely to enter
- Large buttons are easy to press even when wearing gloves
is characterized.
It’s a nice change because the normal square G-SHOCK and DW-5600 size buttons are difficult to press while wearing gloves.
G-SHOCK is not only shock resistant but also has a series such as dust-proof Mud Resist and Mud Master that fights against mud .
The famous for Frogman series is waterproof for diving .
(I’ll let you know when this site really runs out of material.)
Size has meaning.
There is also a yellow LCD model with an all-black model
This GXW-56 series is very popular and various standard models are available.
“GXW-56” is “radio + solar” , “GX-56” is “solar only” .
First of all, there were quite a lot in the past but now it has become rare “yellow liquid crystal”
And all black GXW-56BB-1JF
There is also an all-black GX-56BB. It’s pretty hard to tell .
It looks almost the same as the GXW-56BB introduced above. If you look closely, you can tell by the presence or absence of the letters “MULTI BAND6” .
Note that this “GX-56” series is “tough solar only” and does not have a “radio clock” .
Also in the GX-56 series, GX-56SL-4JF is still active and can be purchased.
The model number SL stands for SAND LAND. And the SAND LAND series is still on sale in 2022.
It’s red and cool.
I would like you to pick up the GXW-56 and GX-56 at the store or buy them online.
The size may be difficult for Japanese people and people with thin arms. But there is no doubt that you will be noticed when you wear it. Please try it.
