    Thanks Riley for the posting…..

    I want the GRX-5600SRF-3JR sooo badly, hopefully price will be finalized is available in Malaysia.

    For the GLX-6900, is seemed weird to me as copy and paste from the G-7900…..the G-7900 look better than this one! Nevertheless, it's depends on individual taste.

    GLX-5500A-4 (Red) is finally has it match color with current GLX-5600A-4 (Red)..

    cheers,

    Hi yschow. :-!

    It seems like everyone has at least one favorite of the bunch. It's a varied group of G-Shocks, so I guess it makes sense that some of them don't work for everyone.



  3.  

    the GWX-5600-1V looks nice[:
    i love how that one looks, and also the GLX-5600B-4JF
    i'd switch the face plates on those,a garunteed it will look awsome!

    I look at these models with great disappointment.

    The incorporation of the 7900 module on the 6900 bezel is nice, but how come no simple color schemes?
    And the "atomization/solarization" of the GLX-5600 module is really a joke IMO.



  5.  

    Yazkaz, i think that G-Shock is gonna make more of these new modules in many different variety of colors. i think its just the beggining of a great new design of range for now.

    @COlOMA
    The Glide series is always about color, but these years, Casio has been playing too much with this element, especially on multi-colored bezel/band designs and colored LCD panels.

    Unfortunately colored LCD panels never do much justice IMHO and can in fact impair overall visibility of the digital data.

    And if Casio wants to play with colors, it should instead think about how to improve the paintwork on the plastic components (bezel, band etc.), as complaints on discoloration (of bezels and bands) often come in droves.
