I have been feeling the need to purchase a G-Shock for quite some time now, and I was interested in THIS one. I prefer the old style rectangular display, and I'd like for it to be of the atomic/solar variety. What do you recommend? |

They're truly a versatile bit of kit! Have just sold this one, went to a dude in Canada who's a trapper/Hunter/Fishing guide in the Rockies. Only watch he will own? G Shock!!  Proof how good they are? Chec this video out! Even more impresive if your a diver like me  |

Ordered myself one today, classic DW5600E-1V. Didn't have the guts to go with solar, so got one with a good old battery laugh1.gif Like has been said, best value for money if you want a want watch that can handle shocks, water, dust, rough sex etc.

The solar is great but I got a scare when I'd left it in a drawer and let the charge run to nothing, I had to leave it on the window sill for a week to bring it back to life. The battery version is great too. After all this time there's probably 4o seconds difference between the 2, I don't know what the battery life is supposed to be but I've never changed it and I reckon I've had the thing 4-5 years This is the battery version  |

It isn't a 'square' one, but this one's mine. I keep telling myself that I'm going to sell it but can never bring myself to do it.  |

Slightly larger and chunkier than the standard 5600. Has a real presence. Also has huge digits. I got my father one because of this and he wears the hell out of it. Radio sync only in US and Japan. If you can find one at a reasonable price, pick one up. New inventory is sporadic. They pop up on sales forums regularly. |

Don't forget the option for analog dial with lots of digital displays embedded in the dial.

Agree a G Shock is a nice addition. If you're looking for an analog G-Shock, I'd recommend mine, the GW-2000B-1AJF. Solar + Multiband = always charged, always accurate. The sweep seconds change to chrono seconds when you change modes, which closed the deal for me. I love me some sweep seconds, but I don't run my automatic chronos all the time for fear of wear.  |
