Review on Watch CASIO G-Shock GW-B5600BC-1B by Mateusz Czyta ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

All in all, this is a reliable watch that just works and tells the time. At the same time, they will do this for 10 years without any maintenance.

Pros
  • - Classic indestructibility and durability of Casio. - Relatively small size and thickness for jishoks (as for me, it's still thick, it was possible to make 10 mm thick). - Connecting to the phone via Bluetooth for time synchronization is a nice feature, but nothing more. - STRAP. He is really good. Lightweight yet durable. Ideal for summer: you can safely wash it, while it is durable, unlike rubber (which dies steadily after a year). Hair on the arm does not pinch. - A solar panel. You can not think about replacing the battery for about the entire life of the watch.
Cons
  • - Inverted screen. This is Fail. I thought it would not be much different from the usual, but it is far from being the case. At dusk, with a lack of lighting, it is ABSOLUTELY unrealistic to see something on it. You get tired of using the backlight every time, especially in contrast to why you suddenly don’t see anything on the screen in those conditions when you used to calmly see it without any problems. For comparison: the time on a regular screen can be seen even in the moonlight, on the inverse you can’t see anything, having moved 2 meters away from the light bulb. HOWEVER, if you already managed to buy a watch with an inverted screen, and you don’t like it, you can convert it to a regular one by replacing the polarizing film (there are guides on YouTube). An inverted screen, or not, is determined solely by the orientation in which the film is pasted on it, so that an inverted one can be converted into a normal one (and vice versa). But it is better to immediately take a model with the screen you need. - The dimensions could be even smaller. A lot of space is occupied by all sorts of garbage. - This eye-catching design has already finished me off. Why don't Casio make indestructible models with a more modern and elegant design? If you want to buy a watch with good water resistance and shock resistance, you have de facto no choice but to use a Gishok eyeball. The funny thing is that this is done on purpose, there is no utilitarian purpose in this design, it could have been a much more normal design while maintaining the same characteristics. - Taking into account all of the above, the price is somewhat overpriced, but this is a consequence of Casio's monopoly in this niche.
