I love this version of the 5600. The display is actually easy to read for a negative display and I like the font used for the numbers - it is a bit thicker than the traditional 5600 font. The green resin is just right, not too dark and not too light. the watch is as tough as you are going to find and the solar battery means it will be working for a good long while before needing a re-charge. Make sure that you get t some time in the sun to fully charge and enable power save mode. Do NOT place it under a halogen lamp at close range or you can melt the watch!! The size is nice, it is not an overly huge G-Shock and it looks great with military fatigues or just jeans and a t-shirt. Highly recommended.
