Is the G-5600UE-1JF solar powered?

Yes. It uses Casio's Tough Solar system and recharges from light. A full charge lasts about 12 months with functions in use, or about 22 months in power-saving mode.

How does it differ from the standard DW-5600?

The G-5600UE adds solar charging and a battery indicator over the battery-powered DW-5600. Both share the square resin case, 200 m water resistance and similar display layout.

Yes. It is rated 20 ATM, or 200 m water resistance, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Casio does not rate it for scuba diving.

Does it sync time automatically?

No. This model has no Bluetooth or radio-controlled timekeeping, so you set the time and world-time cities manually.

The watch, a box, an instruction manual and a warranty card included in the manual.

How big is it on the wrist?

The square resin case is compact and light for a G-Shock, and the strap is resin. It wears smaller than the chunky G-Shock models.

About the Casio men G-Shock G-5600UE-1JF

The G-SHOCK G-5600UE-1JF is a men's digital sport watch with a black resin case and a black resin band. The octagon-shaped case has a fixed resin bezel and a mineral glass cover over a gray digital display. It has a shock-resistant construction that resists shocks and vibrations, and 20 ATM (200 m) water resistance.

It is powered by Tough Solar, a solar charging system, and uses a quartz movement. After a full charge without solar power generation, it runs about 12 months with normal use of its functions, or about 22 months in power saving mode. In the dark, the display turns off after a set period to save power, and a battery indicator shows the charge level.

World time covers 48 cities (31 time zones) plus UTC, with a home city swap function. The watch also has a stopwatch, a timer, five alarms, a time signal and a full auto calendar. The LED backlight has full auto light, super illuminator and afterglow functions.
