Casio Men's G-Shock Digital Resin Strap Watch Black DW-5600BB-1ER

Product Information

Synthetic resin is the ideal material for wrist straps thanks to its extremely durable and flexible properties. 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.

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 hour Below are a few picture of the 5600BB arranged with a few different straps so you can see how the watch could possibly look if it were possible to use normal straps. For fans of precision: the countdown timers help you to remember specific or recurring events by giving off an audible signal at a preset time. They The time can be set to the nearest second and up to 24 hours in advance.I found dust to build up a bit around the screen of the watch, and due to the surrounding plastic cover its a lot more difficult to wipe it off than with a traditional watch.

The unusual lug width (or rather lug width compared to strap width) of the watch makes finding any alternative straps a problem, and will sometimes require you to cut into and permanently alter any strap you want to use with the watch,or force you to buy adaptors to fit other straps. 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. Then there is the the timer (count down screen), with an audible beeping when completed, you can count down from 24 hours.Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810.

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. 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. Measuring Capacity: 24 hours, Measuring Modes: Elapsed time, split time, Measuring Unit: 1/100th secondThe 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 resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences. 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.

A sporty watch, of course, needs good water resistance, and this watch has a water resistance of 200m/660 feet, which makes it suitable for essentially any water activity that you may subject it to. 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.You can see some writing around the screen "adjust-mode- start/stop-light" and also Casio beneath the screen. The limited contrast should not be an issue for someone with normal sight, and if its too dark you simply press the "light" button (lower button on the right side) and you can read the time.
