my display looks dark like this one.Posted 3 years ago # -
That's the point annoying me too.
There are some of these aspekts, for instance the gw-m5600 was shown in brochure with numbers as the DW-5600 has, but it has pixeled numbers.I guess, we must live with this type of marketing.
Another point is, that negativ displays are very hard to take a picture.

PhiladelphiaCasio takes photos of these in a studio with just the right lighting and angels to make the display appear sharp. The real world look of most G-Shocks is quite different than the stock photos might lead you to believe.
It's too bad you don't like the display, but it's probably the way it's supposed to be and there's no real adjustment for it. I've often been let down by a model once I have it in my hands, but I've also been pleasantly surprised by just as many.
You can always try another model. The negative displays vary widely in their readability. I'm sure there's one out there that's perfect for you.

I like the way it looks , although it can be hard to read in dim lighting. I just wanted to make sure mine wasn't abnormally dim.

here is an example:
I'm not sure, but have a look at http://www.casio.de/press/files/CASIO_GLX-5600-7ER.jpg and look at the moon phase. the moon phase indicator should not display such a graphic. the indicator can be blank, filled, right or left aligned filled, but never right and left aligned filled with a gap.or that: http://www.casio.de/press/files/CASIO_GW-M5600-1ER.jpg
the digits are wrong, in reality they are pixeled - that's not a studio photo.
and the GW-M5600 has no "24h"-symbol. further more I've never seen a flash alert symbol, because the watch has not one. yes, I'm petty-minded

@Riley: maybe it's a good idea for the photo archive to show the module number

PhiladelphiaHmmmm... That is interesting. I wonder if Casio is actually computer rendering these images. That might explain these incongruities.

It's just a daunting task
yes, it is. Unfortunatly I see no way to automate this task.
but it would be much easier, if we make a simple list and call the users of the forum to start/complete this ... like that:
DW-5600 : 1545
GW-M5600 : 3063The forum thread is saved as text file, cut off header and footer goes quickily by hand, blank lines and double entry are easy to delete. Under unix-like operatings systems I would type a one-line command: tr [:lower:] [:upper:] < my-module-list.txt| sort | uniq > output-list.txt
The result is written in upper case letters, alphabetic order etc.I could do this task from time to time and send it back to you. A spreadsheet expert should do the same job.
Cheers

PhiladelphiaIt sounds like a good idea for a project Thomas.
There's already 651 models listed with module numbers in this table:
http://mygshock.com/wiki/Manuals_and_Documentation#G-Shock_Datasheet_1983-2007There's 1,749 Japanese G-Shock models right now. Plus who knows how many export models.
Maybe a wiki page would be a good way for everyone to collaborate on it? There might be some kind of online spreadsheet editor we could use. I think that might be easier to work with maybe.
To start off we could integrate the above table with this list:
http://mygshock.com/wiki/List_of_Every_G-Shock_ModelAnd they're all separated by year here in this list:
http://mygshock.com/image-archive/Any help would be appreciated. Once there's a definitive source I can start integrating it into the Image Archive.

Hm, I' surprised ... well, now we have a point to start with it.
I'm going to merge the tables this weekend, so we can see what's missing.what should placed in the table?
Name (as URL to image archive) + Modulee.g.
DW-5000C-1A | 240Cheers
