Review of the Casio Riseman GW

So what is it about the GW-M5600BC that I like so much? It has all the right features (atomic, solar, world time, etc.), and it's much smaller and lighter than your average G-Shock which makes it more compatible with my narrow wrists. But what I like best is that it has the most unusual band I've ever seen on a Casio.The bracelet is a combination of metal and hard plastic links held together with spring pins rather than the traditional pins and collars. There are several advantages to this type of band over the resin straps you usually get on a G-Shock: It can be sized and adjusted without any special tools. It can be sized for a more precise fit (most G-Shock straps are too big for my wrist).It's very quick and easy to put on and take off. The bracelet is so light that it doesn't add much weight to the watch at all.Admittedly, the bracelet seemed kind of cheap when I first inspected it, but after wearing this watch on and off (mostly on) for the last six months, I've come to really like it. And I'm not alone. I've seen this G-Shock model for sale on forums without the bracelet from people who removed it to attach it to another G-Shock. Interesting idea.Five daily alarms (one with snooze option). Electroluminescent backlight. Perpetual calendar (day and date are visible simultaneously, which I really like). Waterproof to 200 meters, or about 650 feet.The Casio G-Shock GW-M5600BC certainly isn't all that much to look at which is why I never expected to become so attached to it.
