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

Product Information

Although the GW6900 display is more capable in some ways, some people may prefer the look and the straightforward layout of the GWM5610 display. The main digits on the GWM5610 are larger than the GW6900, making it easier to read. The lower rectangular LCD area displays the usual time, day / date, and other chronograph functions. One unique function: the ability to toggle the day / date display with the World Time (city / time zone of your choice). The one in the middle is NOT a DW-6900, it's a DW-6 600. It's a different module inside, but they use the same case, bezel, and strap -- which makes plenty of people happy when they restore their 6600 and find those parts are discontinued -- and they're also identical in size and shape. The Rangeman buttons are large, with a cross-cut texture. They’re easy to find and press, even with gloves. That’s because the Rangeman 9400 is a BIG watch (55.2 x 53.5 x 18.2-mm). It’s also a BOLD watch. That was my point of contention. Even though it is based on the classic 6600 round shape, which I also have and like, I didn't like the three eyes. I can live with them now, given that they actually serve a function. It is definitely a big watch and if you have small wrists, like I do, it might look too big for your taste. Somehow I can pull off the big ones alright and this one is no different. Still, it won't fit under a cuff and it is not a great pairing with a suit, IMHO. The dial and bezel markings are discreet and not garish. Well done, Casio!

One of the key features of this watch is its solar power mechanism, which means it is powered by natural sunlight rather than a battery. This makes it a sustainable option for those who are eco-conscious. The watch also includes a calendar function, which lets you stay on top of important dates and events. Since the G-9000MS is NOT commonly sold in stores it brings up another large issue: have you read the many threads around here about "negative visibility?" https://www.google.com/search?q=sit...rums.watchuseek.com/f17+negative+hard+to+read Being able to scroll east and west in world time is great, as is the ability to press B in timekeeping and see your last viewed world time above your time. With the press of a button you have a GMT watch. Mine arrived today and it's a really great watch. As Till has covered the bases, I'll just add my particular pluses and minuses, particularly in comparison with my GW-M5600-1ER. Just for reference mine is a GW-6900-1ER. Atomic syncing works brilliantly for me in Edinburgh. Solar power less so, as we rarely get to see the sun....The Triple Sensor is not a professional-level instrument. If your life depends on a good compass, get a good compass. Same for the altimeter. Due to body heat, the thermometer is only accurate off your wrist. The watch on the left is a GW-9000, not a G-9000MS, but it uses the same case, bezel, and strap, so they're identical in size and shape. The DW5600 and DW6900 do not have world time, so there are no differences between the two models in that area. Other limitations are only one alarm, no option to turn the button operation sound off, and no adjustable afterglow duration on either model. (It should be noted that the alarm is a “multi-function alarm” and not just a “daily alarm,” which offers a daily, date, 1-month, or monthly alarm.) The dimensions and weight are slightly different from their GW counterparts at 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and 53 grams for the DW5600 and 53.2 x 50 x 16.3 mm and 67 grams for the DW6900, though not enough to be very noticeable.

Of those three models, the G-9000 is probably "wears" the smallest. As Watch_Geekmaster noted, the straps on the DW- and GW-6900 "gap" at the sides of the wrist for a lot of people. Even though it's a different model, there's a great picture of the problem in this thread: https://www.watchuseek.com/f43/skinny-wrist-strap-mod-less-strap-gap-more-flex-676089.html Given the size of the watch, very good. In the absolute both the G-7700 and the GW-2500 are better; closer fit and more flexible strap. But it has the magic light button; a great ergonomic comfort. The light can also be set to stay on for a full 3 seconds which is much better than on other watches where the time is usually too short. The Casio GW6900-1 watch is compact in size, with dimensions of 53.2 x 50 x 17.7 millimeters, and lightweight at only 63 grams. It is made with high-quality materials to ensure maximum durability and is built with a quartz (solar) mechanism type. Although bigger that the GW-M5600 it still sits well on the wrist and is if anything more comfortable.The GWM5610-1 is more compact and slimmer (46.7 x 43.2 x 12.7 millimeters versus 53.2 x 50 x 17.7). It is better suited to those with smaller wrists and those wearing tight-fitting long sleeves. It is also a little lighter (51.7 grams versus 63). You can put it on your wrist and forget it’s there. The 6900’s easily recognized by its round shape flattened at the bottom, the “three eyes” (a.k.a., “triple graph”) and the light activation button located front and center on the bottom of the face. The alarm seems louder than the GW-M5600, possibly because of the larger case. It's still not loud enough to wake me up!
