I don't like the bezel on the new version. Its more shiny, and don't match with the color of the strap. This is a huge step back for me! I don't like it, that's disappointing.

The EL backlight is king. I wore my DW-5600E throughout my time in the military and police primary working nights. The greenish blue light is much better in total darkness, when I got a GW-9400 with the LED I hated it because it blasted out my eyes at night. Its sad the EL is basically discontinued....

how to get tower signal on the watch?

@collectingwatches 2 ай бұрын

Do a manual sync with the lower right button (hold for 2 seconds) L1 is the lowest , L2 and L3 is the best. Do the manual to find the best signal around the house then let it do a Automatic time sync from that spot. I use a window at night with the watch facing up, the automatic method will get a signal around 1:00 am. in my area.

bought the gold version of this watch recently and i'm disapointed. i love the case but the strap is absolutely unwearable. I've tried several times but couldn't stand the constant hair pulling and pinching. I was always relieved to take it off ... Which is a shame because again i love the case and the overall style is pretty unique! I changed the bracelet to a simple black leather strap but it looks a bit goofy. After having worn a prx metal strap for nearly a year, the metal bracelet felt really cheap and uncomfortable.
