■ Functional beauty of modern industrial design
The biggest appeal of the GM-5600BM-1DR is its design that pursues functional beauty with a modern industrial design theme. Aiming for the coexistence of simplicity and functional beauty, we have adopted an achromatic color scheme.
The metal octagonal bezel, symbolizing G-SHOCK's impact resistance, features a checkering pattern often seen in modern industrial designs. The metal bezel and the red accent color marking the function display express its rich functionality.
Through the cut hole in the bezel, you can see the center case made of glass fiber reinforced resin that protects the module to achieve a shock-resistant structure, visually expressing the shock-resistant structure. The unique design is attractive and allows you to visually enjoy G-SHOCK's core technology.
■ Deep bezel with black IP
By applying black IP to parts other than the top of the bezel, it gives the bezel a sense of depth and firmness. We use black IP, which has excellent wear resistance, for the surface finish, and after coating the entire surface, we partially peel off the coating on the top surface only, exposing the underlying stainless steel.
The beauty of the metal bezel, created through multiple processes, is a complex shape that continues from the first generation G-SHOCK and is finished by forging. The top surface has minute irregularities created by pressing, and the lugs have holes created by cutting, adding details reminiscent of industrial products.
The entire body is honed to a matte finish, and only the sides are treated with hairlines to reduce the shine while enhancing the metal's texture. It has a chic appearance.
■ Texture band provides a comfortable fit
The metal bezel is combined with a urethane band to enhance the wearing comfort while expressing an industrial image that combines different materials. Using advanced molding technology, a fine square dot texture is applied to the band surface, creating a sense of unity with the bezel design.
The main resin parts of the band are made of biomass plastic, which is expected to contribute to reducing environmental impact. The selection of environmentally friendly materials also meets modern needs.
Suitable for arm circumferences of approximately 14.5-21.5cm, making it suitable for a wide range of people. The lightweight design weighs approximately 69g, making it comfortable to wear without causing fatigue even when worn for long periods of time.
■ Shock-resistant structure and 20 ATM water resistance
Equipped with a shock-resistant structure (shock resist) unique to G-SHOCK, it is sturdy enough to withstand intense exercise and impact. Thanks to its 20 ATM waterproof function, it is highly waterproof and can be used for swimming, so you can rest assured even in active situations.
The case structure combines resin and stainless steel to achieve both toughness and sophisticated design. The inorganic glass windshield protects the dial from scratches.
■ LED backlight makes it easy to see even in the dark
Super illuminator equipped with high-brightness LED light provides excellent visibility even in dark places. It has an afterglow function and continues to emit light for a certain period of time even after you release the button, making it comfortable to use at night.
The white LED brightly illuminates the LCD section, allowing you to clearly check the time and data. This is a practical function that can be used safely even in dark places.
■ Long life battery of about 5 years
It has a long battery life of approximately 5 years, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacement. Although it is equipped with multiple functions, it has an energy-saving design and is safe for everyday use.
It continues to keep accurate time with an average monthly difference of ±15 seconds. The stable performance of the quartz type makes it a highly reliable watch.
■ Full range of practical functions
The stopwatch can measure 1/100 seconds, has a 24-hour meter, and has a splitter. Convenient for measuring time in sports and training. The timer function can be set for up to 24 hours and has an auto-repeat function.
Equipped with one multi-alarm and time signal function, and the sound flash function emits light in conjunction with the alarm/time signal/timer. This is a convenient function that allows you to check both visually and audibly.
Basic functions are also included, such as a fully automatic calendar and 12/24 hour display switching. It combines a simple and universal design with practical functions, making it an item that can be used for a long time.

■ Buyer's comment
The moment I first picked up the GM-5600BM-1DR, I was drawn in by its modern design. The all-black, fearless appearance is really cool, and the checkering pattern on the metal octagonal bezel becomes more attractive the more you look at it. The details inspired by industrial products fully express functional beauty.
The texture of the bezel with black IP is wonderful, and the depth and firm impression created by exposing only the stainless steel on the top is exquisite. The beauty of the design, which is created through multiple processes, is proof that complex shapes have been finished by forging, which has continued from the first generation G-SHOCK. I felt that the overall finish was honed to a matte finish, and only the sides were given a hairline finish to enhance the texture of the metal while suppressing the shine.
What's interesting is that the glass fiber reinforced resin center case, visible through the cut hole in the bezel, visually expresses the shock-resistant structure. This unique design is irresistible, allowing you to visually enjoy G-SHOCK's core technology. It's the perfect combination of functionality and design.
The red accent color marking the function display is also a good accent as it stands out symbolically among the achromatic colors. You can clearly see that the concept of coexistence of simplicity and functional beauty pervades every corner of the design.
The fine square dot texture on the surface of the band creates a sense of unity with the bezel design, which is wonderful. This detail, realized through advanced molding technology, perfectly expresses the industrial image.
Bands made from biomass plastic can be expected to contribute to reducing environmental impact, and I also like that they meet modern needs. The lightweight design weighs approximately 69g, so you won't get tired even if you wear it for a long time. The softness and lightness of the resin band makes it comfortable to wear.
Shock resistant structure allows you to use it with confidence even during intense exercise. It's water resistant to 20 ATM, so it's reliable enough to be used for swimming. The case structure combines resin and stainless steel to achieve both toughness and sophisticated design.
The super illuminator LED backlight is bright and provides excellent visibility even in the dark. With afterglow function, it is really comfortable to use at night. The white LED brightly illuminates the LCD, so you can clearly see the time and data.
The long battery life of approximately 5 years is also attractive, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacement. I was impressed by Casio's multi-functional yet energy-saving design. It is highly reliable and keeps accurate time with an average monthly difference of ±15 seconds.
The stopwatch measures 1/100 seconds, has a 24-hour meter, and has a splitter, making it really convenient for measuring time during sports and training. The timer function can be set for up to 24 hours and has an auto-repeat function. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from everyday use to training.
It is also convenient to use the flash warning function to emit light in conjunction with alarms, time signals, and timers, allowing you to check both visually and audibly. It is also equipped with basic functions such as a fully automatic calendar and 12/24 hour display switching.
The GM-5600BM-1DR, which combines a simple and universal design with practical functions, is truly recommended as an item that can be used for a long time. We hope you enjoy the functional beauty of modern industrial design on your wrist. by Fujimuro
