The King
This is a beast of a watch. Big, chunky and blacked out.Love the styling, the light weight and the price.The negative display is the main thing I could criticise, but that’s in keeping with the style of the watch. Turning on auto EL will light up the display every time you raise the watch and, because it’s solar powered, you won’t be running down the battery when you do this.Other than that, the display isn’t quite as big as you may expect given it’s size. I’d say it’s probably on a par with a standard square g shock.All in all though, this is another bullet proof g shock that you’ll struggle to break in day to day wear.

Great watch but the numbers are quite small and hard to read
Watch is overall great, good functions overall. However the negative display and small numbers make it hard to read. Next to a G-shock square gives you a better notion of the size and dimensions between the two of them. Other than the small reading it's a good tough watch.

The best G-Shock
Absolute fantastic G-Shock, I have been through a few G’s at this point with this one in particular flying under the radar.But the quality of the unit far surpasses most other g shocks unless it’s a mudman or rangeman, but even still for the money you can’t get a better G than this. The features are bang on for what you need, multi band 6 for me is a subjective feature anyway. But the tough solar is an absolute must and by far Casios ‘cream of the crop’ feature. The added mud resistance and alpha gel is just fantastic!Don’t understand people’s mixed views on the reverse LCD display, you can perfectly read the watch with suitable lighting. If you haven’t got good lighting than you have a very nice Electro Luminescent light which illuminates the dial perfectly! The quality of the LCD is very good with crisp digits and a lovely dot matrix for the letters.The watch is big, but personally it shouts character and charm being one of its strong suits. I got this for £78 which was a bargain to say the least, but I would pay full retail of £130 for this any day.If your on the fence with this watch just get it you won’t regret this brilliant piece

Nice watch
V.nice watch. It is quite a chunky one & you have to push the buttons quite hard. Also comfortable to wear.

Apocalypse Casio
What are you getting if you buy this watch? An enormous G-shock square, which appears to be completely indestructible. If you like the look of the watch and are unsure whether or not to buy it; go for it.It's good value for money, and your only hang-up is legibility - which, I can confirm, is absolutely fine. It has a negative display, but you will have no issue with it.Viewed at the right angle or with the backlight, it is perfectly legible. It doesn't have multi-band atomic syncing BUT if you set it against the atomic clock, it will hold time perfectly well, within a few seconds.You could argue the negative display is better - viewed at an angle it doesn't look like four 8s the way some non-negative displays turn into. I had the tough solar GW-M5610-1JF square, but my son pinched it, so this is my replacement - overall, I am really happy with it. All functions are great, this one is also tough solar, so unless the sun explodes, you're good to go for the end of days.Again; it's massive - if you are a bigger human, it will look the bee's knees and the cat's pj's.

Great replacement
My last solar watch has lasted ages but it was getting harder to use the buttons, so this new watch is great , I like a large watch , but the only thing I did was download the instructions because the print in the book is tooo small , great purchase

RUBBISH DISPLAY
No its not my eyes or my age, this display is barely readable. What Casio was thinking making a watch with such a dim display is a mystery to me. Its not cool, its rubbishAVOID AT ALL COST, SERIOUSLY

Good value, tough beater watch
Great watch, good value for money. Speedy delivery and perfect condition. Beware that the negative display is a bit of a challenge to read sometimes. I knew that when buying it but non the less of you want a very visible watch to read don’t buy it. It’s big and bulky and if you like that look then it will please you. Is comfortable to wear but it’s size can be inhibiting.
