The most basic and cheapest “square G-SHOCK”

This is the DW-5600E-1V (US version)

DW-5600E-1V
Square G-SHOCK First of all

Next, here is the DW-5600E-1 (Japan version)

DW-5600E-1

At first I commemorate model is the DW-5600E.

The list price is $ 69.95.

It is the “cheapest G-SHOCK”.

It’s not a Radio-controlled and solar powered, however

Functions don’t have such as “Radio-controlled” and “tough solar“, which are often included now.
It is the standard watch which is a “battery” and “quartz digital”.

You may think that is a standard watch which does not have “Radio-controlled” and “tough solar” .

The advantages of radio-controlled and solar watches are

  • No need to set the time
  • No need to Battery exchange

The downsides are

  • When you leave it out of the light for a while, it will stop.
  • Even if it is solar, the rechargeable battery will be usable in about 10 years.
  • Batteries are not generally sold and are difficult to replace by yourself.

We introduce this time,The advantage of an standard battery-powered devices like the DW-5600E

  • Works even if you do not use for a while (leave it in a dark place)
  • Easy battery exchange (the waterproof function may be lost by yourself)
  • It is not difficult to adjust for a few seconds a month even if you shift instead of radio waves.
  • Since there are no radio wave and solar, you can purchase at a low price.

In addition, radio-controlled wacthes have the disadvantage which the LCD screen is a little difficult to see, the storage film is thinly sandwiched .

Battery-powered products also have the advantage. The LCD screen is a little easier to see .

I’m satisfied with buying a state-of-the-art watch, but after all, I end up returning to this standard watch .

Rarely, the dial is different between the overseas version and the Japanese version

As an unique feature, this G-SHOCK has a different dial between the overseas version and the Japanese version.

The DW-5600E-1V is the overseas version ‘s display at the top of the dial is different from the DW-5600E-1 is the Japanese version.

DW-5600E-1V

It is described “ILLUMINATOR” and “WATER 200M RESIST”.

DW-5600E-1 (Japanese version)

It is described “WATER 20BAR RESIST” and “FOX FIRE”.

Is it described “FOX FIRE”in Japanese , that an EL backlight, doesn’t make much sense in English, may be?

Now it’s almost a universal design.
The “FOX FIRE” notation was common in the early days of G-SHOCK, but it has not been mentioned recently.

Also, it was an expression that is not often used overseas. Since this model is a super long-selling model, there are still design differences.

It is the only model in the current model that has the FOX FIRE notation. It will be sure to get it and enjoy it.

The contents are the same for both the Japanese version and the overseas version.

There was a gold color, but now it’s rare

Previously, for decades, there was a model with a gold buckle and dial, which was also popular.

Some people rarely got it when they were children?

This gold model is gone now, however, it was mass-produced, it may still be in stock.

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.

A watch filled with the splendor of G-SHOCK

Anyway, I want you get in your hands.

I’m sure you will be much excited too.

A sense of security that I picked up, and a sense of conviction, I got.

Personally, it’s the first watch I bought when I’m young with using during a job.

It will be tighten your feelings, Just wearing this watch. And you will be able to remember the feelings of working hard and becoming a member of society.

I can still remember that feeling.

If you buy this first.

My DW-5600E

Still, it’s still working.

It will not be thrown away.
