Casio Men's G-Shock GW6900-1 Tough Solar Sport Watch

Product Information

The differences between the DW5600E-1V versus the DW6900-1V are the same as their “GW” counterparts in regards to the size and display, but the “DW” models are basic G-Shock watches and do not have as many features. Now for the first time, G-SHOCK will add a metal bezel construction and introduce the GM-6900 “Metal Bezel” series. The Casio G-Shock comes equipped with a stopwatch and countdown timer, allowing you to track workouts efficiently. The last time zone you had selected in the world-time mode will be shown above the local time when you choose to do so.

The EL backlight seems a little less bright than on the GW-M5600, maybe because there is more screen to illuminate with a similar power source? Awfully big and thick with the band ripples standing off quite far on a small wrist (over 7" will be OK). Its tough solar mechanism eliminates the need for battery replacements, making it an eco-friendly choice.The watch comes with a fully automatic calendar, world time function, five daily alarms, a snooze feature, 12/24 hour time display and radio controlled accuracy. To commemorate the occasion, the updated models boast a custom “25” monogram LCD display that changes color, and comes in a unique, neon packaging with “1995-2020” written on it to commemorate the 25 years of the model. If you’re in the normal Time Mode, a single press of the lower right button will instantly switch modes and start the stopwatch.

The Casio GW6900-1 is a watch with a waterproof rating of 200 meters, making it suitable for activities such as swimming and snorkelling. This new Solar Atomic model is based on the original DW6900 model, G-Shock's best-selling case design. The GW-M5610, now the GW-M5610U with updated module, is a modern day version of the original G-Shock with Tough Solar power and Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time syncing. One unique function: the ability to toggle the day / date display with the World Time (city / time zone of your choice).What keeps me back is that it costs as much as the watch and somehow I can't bring myself to do that. The watch's mechanism is quartz-based and solar-powered, ensuring accurate timekeeping and a long lifespan. Timer and stopwatch can both be set for 24h which can be handy when you want to check remaining flight duration and those things. Also, the countdown timer is settable in 1-second, 1-minute, and 1-hour increments, rather than just 1-minute and 1-hour increments for the GW models. I left it in the sun for 2 weeks, and then bought a usb watch chagring light, and let it sit on that for another week.

G-Shock GW-6900 Rating by G-CentralWith its iconic rugged case combined with solar power and Multi-Band 6 auto time correction, the GW-6900 is highly recommended as a tool watch and serves well for work, military use, and travel.There is a rechargeable battery in there and that should be good for 20+ years unless you put the watch in a box.

With this model, a Solar Atomic Timekeeping system was employed without changing the basic design of the watch. The display of the GW6900 is capable of dual time display, which shows the world time (with the 3-letter city code) simultaneously with the home time.
