I like “Square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.
- Fashionable “black” G-SHOCK
- There is a sense of unity in black
- The dial disk is hard to see, but the watch has an outstanding existence.
The Black G-SHOCK
This is DW-5600BB
What a Serious Black it is…!
It will be an all-black G-SHOCK, DW-5600BB.
Anyway, it is characterized by being serious black.
The list price is $99.00
Anyway “black”
After all, the feature is “black”.
Not to mention the bezel and belt, the liquid crystal are also inverted liquid crystal and black, and the dial disk is also black with minimal notation .
The G-SHOCK doesn’t even has the “SHOCK RESIST” logo or notation that is commonplace.
The “PROTECTION” above the bezel and the “G-SHOCK” under the bezel are also normally white, but they are black without having any color and are not noticeable.
If you stick to this point and make it black, you will have a unique charm.
It was a big hit for those who are sensitive to fashion because it is easy to incorporate into clothes.
It is a watch with a mysterious charm that it should be “inconspicuous” but on the contrary it is “very conspicuous” .
Why is it fashionable?
At first glance, it is made entirely black,
- Fits any outfit
- Still, it has a prominent existence
Therefore, just by wearing it, it catches the eye and stands out, saying, “Don’t you wear a wristwatch that is strange ?”
Looking at the person who wears it, it’s just fashionable .
Although it is black and inconspicuous, it is conversely eye-catching because it is all black.
It is a G-SHOCK with a very mysterious charm.
Honestly, the dial is hard to see, but it has the advantage of being inconspicuous.
Honestly, the dial is too black to see . Inverted LCDs are harder to see than ordinary LCDs.
With a TFT LCD such as the GMW-B5000, it is relatively easy to see even with an inverted LCD. But it is still difficult to see the inverted LCD.
However, it is strange that it looks even more black and leads to charm .
Some G-SHOCK have the GW-M5610UBC, which are monotone models of radio wave solar, but the design can not be as black as DW-5600BB.
This is due to the drawback that solar panels cannot be blackened . In the case of the GW-M5610, it seemes like “very dark purple” .
The colors of “A” and “B” (solar panel part) in the above figure cannot be the same .
There has been also the monotone G-SHOCK GW-B5600BC that came out after that.
The solar panel has become “gray”. But the boundaries are even more noticeable and the “black” feeling has been faded .
That is so cool, but can’t you see that the “black” feeling is a little diminished ?
The part of the solar panel cannot be blackened by any means.
Both GW-M5610U and GW-B5600 are attractive. But this DW-5600BB is still the most attractive of “black”.
I want you to take a look at the fascinating blackness .
In a sense , it has an outstanding existence and is eye-catching.
Characteristic
The back cover is a panel back .
Some people may dislike it if it is not a screw back, and it may seem like a cost reduction. The panel back also has the advantage of being “thin and light”. that I think it is good for everyday use .
Since it is a basic model of the basics, it can be replaced with urethane band, composite band, fine resin band, etc.
It is easy to use regardless of which band you replace.
The composite band has a non-slip pattern on the iron plate, so a fine resin band may be good.
In that case, you will have to purchase the GW-B5600 use only the band, and attach the main body of the DW-5600BB. That will reduce the functions, but I think it is easy to use.
G-SHOCK with a mysterious charm
The DW-5600BB, I am fascinated by its blackness.
The hard-to-see LCD also makes blackness more attractive.
A black panel realized by not having “radio wave solar”.
It is better not to have a radio clock + tough solar for this clock.
Please take a look.
