“This is a great watch! I get the most compliments on it. I've always wanted a g-shock but disliked how bulky and oversized they were. This naturally drew me to the square g-shocks. The movements for gmw-5000 series are versatile and convenient with their solar charging and battery saving modes. The all metal versions can almost pass for a dress watch as well.”

“This is my first digital watch purchase since I was a teenager 40 years ago (yes, even people over 50 sometimes still have some of their inner geek left). I was immediately taken in by its looks with the fancy steel case, the inverted display and its toughness, when this model was announced. Bought the one on the rubber strap because of my relatively thin wrists (the metal bracelet has fixed and links that stick a bit out to the side) and the reduced weight, plus I prefer the negative display. In addition, metal bracelets scratch easily. I will not go into the functional details of the watch, there are plenty of reviews out there. So, why only 4 stars instead of 5? - For this price and considering the fact that this is an anniversary model, I would expect Casio to use a sapphire crystal (even some of their below 200 dollar watches have one). I am not conviced that a sapphire crystal would shatter easier than a mineral one. - Even though I would still choose the inverted display over the normal one (it just looks better in conjunction with the black bezel part and black strap), I find that the legibility/viewing angle is not great, despite the claim of using a STN display. This is especially true in dimmer light conditions (of course there is always the built-in light). - In the hot/humid climate where I live, the skin under the watch/strap starts sweating rather quickly (not really a fault of the watch, I know). Since the rubber strap is specific to this model, it cannot be swapped for e.g. a perlon or Nato one. - Instead of the bluetooth functionality (which works well, but is IMO rather pointless), why not just make this a super-accurate watch by using a thermocompensated quartz movement? That would be a nice touch to make the anniversary model stand out. Not everyone can receive a radio time signal, and I don't want my watch to update its time by connecting to my phone every night (time synchronization can be turned off, though).”
