CASIO G-SHOCK G-LIDE GWX-5600C-7JF Men (Japan Import)

So, here you are, searching for a nice everyday beater watch here on Amazon - something you won't be afraid to abuse and get dirty. You stumble across this version which costs about 2x more than the average GSHOCK, and I'm sure you're asking yourself, "why?".The first reason, of course, is that for us here in North America, this watch was never officially sold. This will be a grey market import. To be honest, this was a major factor in my choice. As a somewhat borderline watch collecting addict, I'm always on the look out for new and unique ways to add to my collection. While yes, this is another GSHOCK, it has an air of exclusivity and individuation, as silly as that might sound for a piece of this caliber.Second, this thing is loaded with features. All the usual functions are there - alarm, stopwatch, chrono, illumination, with a couple of cool extra add-ons, such as the negative screen, tide graph, and a rudimentary moonphase (really more of a 'how full is the moon this week' option). The watch is of course quartz, and is powered by a small solar panel that is surrounding the screen on the inside of the bezel. The rest of the face features a nice dark blue/black theme that is very pleasing and provides nice contrast against the rest of the super bright and glossy resin case/band. The watch is 20bar water resistant, to which I can only say it does fine in the shower. I wouldn't ever hesitate to take this thing anywhere any time.Personally, I love this thing so much that I often wear it over my much nicer, much more expensive horological pieces. I think it looks great with just about any attire - even with a suit, where it really stands out against all the Submariners, Seamasters, and Datejusts among that type of crowd. This, is of course almost sacrilegious and completely vulgar, but I think it works very well, and never hesitate to wear the thing, inside or out.Also to note, I have a pretty large wrist at 7.5", and the watch sits nicely on there. I think it wears a little larger than its size with the squared shape.So, tl:dr - buy this thing. It's a little pricey, but it's fairly exclusive over here, tough as nails, and will NEVER let you down for as long as you live. Thanks for reading!

Great G –shock, classic Square design and a very retro but with modern features.Solar powered and the time also has a moon phase. This watch is imported from Japan -Not sold in the US. I was very pleased with the color and the black accents.The only drawback (if any) Would be that the back lighting is very dim and it’s a little hard to see it. Overall great modern/classic!

This watch has a lot of features that in my opinion justify the price tag. The glossy coating does make it a bit more resistant to flex. It's also more difficult to read the display. I wouldn't buy this as your first g-shock square, I'd recommend one with the softer bands first so that you can experience what makes it so popular in the first place. However, in regards to this being a fashion accessory with all of the g-shock tech that is coke white and worn by the Casio OG Kikuo Ibe... this is a must have. I have a DW 6900CR as well which still looks brand news 5 years later so these glossy coatings hold up very well. This is not their last watch. There are other listings on this site. They want you to impulse buy believing it is one of the last left and it is not.

I got this because I have always wanted a white Casio G-shock watch. And now I have one. However, I did not realize how poor the legibility of this display is. It's kind of a reflective display, you have to adjust it to read in the light you have. Much better outdoors.The watch and band have a very shiny, almost painted on look. Kind of looks cheap to me. Just not for me I guess. The tide/wave thing is neat, but I don't have much use for it, but I knew that going in, so I'm not knocking that part.It's still a Casio, so great quality, great time keeping, with tough solar, and multi band, if you are in a good location for that...and very well made, high quality watch. Just not for me, but I kept it anyways, just not one of my favorite Casio watches. Your mileage may vary!

I know I like the watch, just very disappointed that after waiting several days to receive, it came in with yellowing on the band due to UV exposure, some dirt/grime on the inside of the strap, and on the back plate. I'm having it replaced and we will see how it arrives. I'll update when I receive the next one....Update: Second watch arrived. Box was sealed, watch had tags on band (first one didnt) and it is clearly new. Same seller but shipped from a different warehouse. The watch is awesome, just make sure you get what you are paying for.

Pros:- Multi Band 6- Solar-powered- Negative display (very personal)Cons:- Negative display may be harder to read in certain lighting conditions for someSlim, rugged design makes it perfect as a daily. Seller got it out quickly and in pristine condition.

The watch is beautiful but it is not comfortable to wear like another square gshock due to the stiff bands. Hard to find a fit

I love this watch. It fits great on my skinnier wrist and I often forget I'm even wearing it. The glossy and negative display may be a con for some and can make the time difficult to read occasionally; however, I don't mind it after getting used to it. After the first successful receive the watches time has been extremely accurate and is in sync with my other G-Shocks.
