This is using the similar module as DW5600. The bezel and strap also interchangeable. The only special about this model is the screw back case just like the original first G-Shock (DW5000C).
I have about 6.5” wrist too. Don’t worry in the past I have limit myself to not get watches bigger than SKX007 but ended up buying larger watches like Sumo and MM300 (sold :_( ). I think the biggest I could go for my wrist now is Sumo. SKX007 is so small for me now. Best thing about them is they tend to look smaller than actual size because of the bezel and smaller dial. 40mm pilot watches would look ridiculous on me though because of the larger dial.
Just submitted a offer of $22.50 (about $20US) on a Casio HDD-S100-1AV and it was accepted.
The one on the left is the one I just bought, the one on the right is a HDD-S100-3AV and actually has a green band.
I’m tempted to buy a green one and swap the black faced module into the black one.
Currently I wear a Casio G-Shock DW-5600E but I’m trying to decide my favorite black on black version similar to the the DW-5600MS-1 before I buy anything else.
Also I have been interested in the Seiko and Orient Mako “Pepsi” watches but don’t know much about them.
It wont run forever with solar actually - it doesnt have internal battery, which means if you get stuck in arctic night without flashlight to charger up this watch, it will go blank on you :D!
It doesnt have backlight either, otherwise I would have bought it long time ago - it looks great and has 200M rating :D!
Yep only lasts 14 days without light and doesn’t have a backlight, that should be a excuse to EDC a small flashlight
I’m not sure 100% but I read on a forum something like the capacitor can last up to xx months to keep the time as it disables the display before its fully depleted. I didn’t see any mention of nthat at the Casio web site though.
Actually the only time I ever use the light on my DW-5600 is when I’m in bed trying to sleep but I have a phone right next to me as well.
Its slightly bigger than the DW-5600 which is fine with me cos I have very thick wrists but my brother will probably end up with it as I know I’ll prefer my DW-5600 a lot more.
I’d really like something with dual time and a count down timer, at the moment I have both but not in the same watch.
Hi! got my member of the Scuba Dude family from Meranom, red second hand not in stock so I grabbed chromed just before it also sold out, thinking of adding a strap like yours but black and grey
