The most distinctive specs of GW-S5600 *Editorial
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate)
— 200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)

Official Marketing Focus from Casio
The G-SHOCK “Square” is the most iconic model in their line. Even digital watch muggles instantly recognize it as a Casio. Since its introduction in 1983, the Japanese manufacturer has introduced more versions of the Square than ice cream flavors at Baskin Robbins (by a factor of 10). The GW-S5600-1 is a significant evolution of the classic Square – that isn’t available anywhere outside of Japan.
The following features are equipped: radio controlled, world time, chronograph, countdown timer, alarm, power reserve indicator, perpetual calendar, backlight, date, day, month.
