Especially appreciate the clarification on the timer/stopwatch details as those might be important points for those interested in purchasing either of these models. Regards, Bryan Hi Alex,

Thanks for the kind words… Especially appreciate the clarification on the timer/stopwatch details as those might be important points for those interested in purchasing either of these models.

The 60 minute timer on the GW-M5600 is the only thing keeping me from purchasing one, as I frequently need more than a 1 hour timer. ;-) Great article Bryan, that picture of the GW-M5600’s caseback alone makes me want to “upgrade” from a G-5600 to a GW-M5600

Now it makes sense why this hadn't been done before... The dial is very reminiscent of a DW-5000C-1A and definitely gives the watch a retro look.

First of all, they are still making good profit by selling the current 25th L.E. Frogman. And since they are one of the all time favorites among G-Shock collectors, I would imagine them putting out new Wademan, Antman before updating the Frogman series. I beg to differ, petew.

I like this new trend towards better looking casbacks. So often, on the older casebacks, the quality is inconsistent. Sometimes the imprints on G's would be very weak. That always bugged me. Casio seems to be upping their game in this area and it's a welcome improvement in my eyes. I know so many have been waiting for a long time for a multi-band 5600. You're translation helps to explain why it took so long. I guess next on the list for Multiband, could very well be the Frogman which to me is badly in need of a redesign/update.

Probably the development of the small and flat GW-056 was the first step to miniaturisation. I like the clean lay out of the GW-M5600. The eye on the G-5600 is maybe a fun looking digit, but takes a lot of room from the display. I think there is no other G-Shock with so much information around the display, but I'm very happy with the features and look of this watch. Kind regards, Sjors Hello Brian,
