As mentioned, the case has a rectangular/square design, and this allows the watch to wear slightly differently from traditional watches. This is why this watch actually wears smaller than its dimensions may suggest. To protect the case and the screen, the bezel protrudes so that it sits above the screen. The case also has ”bumpers” on the sides of the case to protect it further, including its buttons. Legendary Japanese electronics company Casio is loved for its range of innovative and reliable watches. Casio offers both analogue and digital watches for men and women in a variety of styles and colours, perfect for everyday wear, sportswear and more adventurous activities.

The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences. The contrast between the two is not as much as I thought when looking at photos when using the watch indoors in low light situations, but is really clear in sunlight and bright conditions. I would really like a more standard size of lugs even if it meant a little weaker spring bars, because frankly its not spring bar failure is a very common problem, even on much heavier watches. And when a watch is protected, you should worry even less about that. On top of the case is a mineral crystal. This is not as tough as a sapphire crystal, but at this price point, it is what we can expect.

Casio G-Shock (DW-5600)

For me it has been performing well in the tasks I need this watch for, but it won't be replacing my analogue watches in the office, but due to the stealth look of the watch, It would probably not cause any problems to use it at the office.

The 5600BB has four screens, the main screen shows time, date, month and day (both 24 hour and AM/PM functions) One thing that I found difficult to get use to after using analogue chronograph watches for a long time, is that on the 5600BB you press the upper button on the right side to start the stopwatch like I am use to, but to reset the stopwatch you press the upper left side button instead of the lower right side button. The strap is rather comfortable on the wrist and also very durable. It doesn’t really acquire scratches, and it is also very easy to clean. The case of the 5600BB is close to 44 mm wide and is basically a rubber protective cover that covers a hard plastic watch case. Multi-Function Alarms: 1. Daily Alarm; 2. Monthly Alarm; 3. Alarm for a particular time each day of a particular month; 4. Date Alarm, Hourly time signal: The watch beeps every hour on the hourYou can see some writing around the screen "adjust-mode- start/stop-light" and also Casio beneath the screen. The screen window of the 5600BB is about 30 mm wide but the actual LCD is only 20 mm wide. Some people think that the LCD looks a bit small for this watch, but its nothing that bothers me at all. This movement has an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month. Missing is what would’ve been a very useful second-time zone.

The distance between the strap adjustment holes is about 5 mm, so the steps between each position is fairly large, making it a bit more difficult to adjust to an optimal size than some other straps with 3-4 mm distance between holes.The lugs on the case a small or only 16 mm, but the included strap has large shoulders, this makes the use of alternative straps more difficult.
