I like “square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.
- Current only carbon fiber band
- With having a unique feel and has won a strong fan base
- With the “U” designation, it will continue to be a standard product in the future.
“Square G-SHOCK” with a tough band that is hard to cut
This is the GW-S5600U
It will be the GW-S5600U-1 that uses the only carbon fiber band,currently.
The list price is 34100 yen in Japanese yen.
Unique carbon fiber band
The feature is the “carbon fiber band” .
This is the only model currently installed.
The official name is “carbon fiber insert band” .
I like tri-fold bands like the BC series. But this carbon fiber band has a unique feel and is gaining fans.
(It’s uncomfortable to wear at first.But it feels better little by little.)
As you can see in this picture, it’s resilient, slightly warped and strong.
You can feel thick and sturdy!
And the length of the band is slightly longer than the regular square G-SHOCK. So it is recommended for people with thick arms.
The title of “U” is given and the continuation is decided!
Currently, this model is the only one equipped with a carbon fiber band. And since it is quite minor. Its continuation was in jeopardy.
However, when the GW-M5610U was released, this model was also given the “U” title and renewed.
It is confirmed that it will continue to be sold and will become a standard in the future. Fans were relieved as well.
Models with a “U” in the model number are special models that have been renewed .
I wrote more about it in the GW-M5610U article.
Reference article
G-SHOCK GW-M5610U [Special G-SHOCK that repeats updates Additional radio syncing and solar to the original color]
The main update points are
- Improved time display when using stopwatch
- It is possible to change the lighting time of the auto light that was too short
And so on.
Because of this background, models with a “U” are special models. And we can expect them to continue to be sold as basic G-SHOCK in the future.
If you are a little picky, this is the G-SHOCK that you definitely want to pick up.
Many people fall in love with this strong band
This time we introduced the GW-S5600U which has been decided to continue to be a standard.
I think people who like it will really like it. Please try it on once by all means.
it’s recommended.
