Journey across the G-UNIVERSE — an angular timepiece covered in a cast of old-school G-SHOCK characters.

For the DW-5600GU, the 5600 in white provides a canvas for printed drawings of 18 original characters once engraved on the case backs of past G-SHOCK models.

A bit of nostalgia for fans of previous G-SHOCK generations, in a thrilling new design for lovers of the current G-SHOCK evolution.
I just got that email. My eyes haven't uncrossed yet :mrgreen:

It's definitely for someone, just not me

This brown watch is much better looking than expected. Think $80 was worth it, even with the solar models out there.

Green one is still $80, although the brown one sold out at this price:

New model with what looks like a similar module to GAB2100's. The GA-B001. It has a split bezel with integrated straps. So 2 pieces vs 3 piece (bezel+2 straps).

Not sure what I think yet.

Seem to be priced maybe slightly less than the GAB2100. Sub $150.

I seen these over at Masters in Time. I set up for notifications on the Black/Red and all Black model. Negative displays with analog as well. I'm kind of giddy

I just noticed the case size too. 42.5 × 46 × 13.8 mm.

Wonder if that is a typo? That's going to be itty bitty for a G-shock. My squares are around 46.

Masters in time has it listed as 46x13.8
