Negative or 'Reverse' LCD displays are very popular across the digital watches on offer today, but are they better than the more traditional standard LCD?
I thought I would measure the actual viewing angles and find out which wins for legibility and clarity, and by how much.
Watches tested here are -
CASIO G-Shock GW-B5600BC-1BER
CASIO G-Shock GW-M5610-1ER

I had both and I also had the steelseries (STN display) You can see the negative display just fine (in daily use) BUT you have to look 0,5sec longer.. I think that when you only wear the negative display (STN or no STN) then you will get used to it. But if you are switching everyday, then the negative seems to be more unreadable. But still.. negative is still easy to read, if you look a 0,5seconds longer. The brain has the get used to it.. Sorry for my bad explanation and grammar, but English is not my language.

I have thought about this lots before. It is strange. I think different people use the like/dislike in very different ways. For example. A news article in a video maybe negative or sad. Some would “dislike” because of the story the video covers. Some would “like” because they appreciate the video maker bringing them the story. Even through they dislike what’s happening. Some people simply don’t think about the creator of a vid at all. They react only on content of the content. Another example - Perhaps someone just ordered a negative display watch. They see this vid and don’t like the result. They react to the “result” of a test. Rather than the efforts of video creators efforts. So yeah. Likes and dislikes are weird AF

The tilt viewing angle is the most important but they always show just a left right pan in the adverts online. Ive been disappointed several times by watches that need a precise wrist rotation to view the time, usually due to the display but sometimes also due to a very recessed face with a protective ridge around it. Always preferred positive and now I have the science to back it up. Great video.

I only have one negative display watch, and it's a customization I did myself in about 15 minutes or so. It's on a base model G-Square, the DW5600. While the bezel was off, I decided to also remove its white print and I swapped out the chrome buckle and tongue with a black set. Personally, I love how it turned out, and it had exactly zero learning curve. While I was lining up my polarizing film, I found the point where it was in negative and had the brightest segments, then I backed it off a few degrees to darken the segments a little. If I thought for one second that I could do it successfully, I would replace the chrome pushers with black ones, but I already know that I don't have the manual dexterity or the patience for that level of detail. I'm pretty sure I could remove the E-clips and replace the pushers, but there's no way I'd be able to reseat the clips. I decided to leave the lettering under the crystal alone. After I had everything reassembled, I installed a black JaysAndKays BullBar. Again, I love how it turned out, and it gets more wrist time than all of my other watches combined.

I remember inverting the didplay of my calculator in (I think it was) 7th grade. I don't remember exactly, I believe we flipped the polarizing filter upside down. For other displays, I guess it might be possible, if you are able to taka apart the layers of the display. Everyone had different colors on their calculators, and I think it started when someone wanted to try to swap the keys between two, to get a different color scheme.

Your graph colors should be reversed as the "negative" display is darker and vice versa. But great review and technique. With the auto backlight, I think the difficulty in viewing the negative display are mostly irrelevant. For the stealth look, I think it's worth the minor inconvenience in the situations where the light might not help.

Depending on the type of use of the watch determines what I would prefer. I have both. I have some watches were I bought the same model with one using a negative screen and the other being a normal screen. Then I can choose what I want... It is obvious the regular screen is a lot easier to see and use than the black screen. We can say the negative screen is more of a private type of watch.

Small point still: The neg display Bluetooth watch can be configured for a 4 sec backlight. WIth the tested pos display watch, the backlight time is only 1.5 sec. I find it difficult to read with 1.5 sec backlight. Just my 2 cents.

Yep agreed. 4 secs feels just right. Less seems annoying.

I have positive and negative display g shocks and I nearly always wear the positive display ones. In most normal indoor situations the negative displays are just not very legible. They are great outdoors in direct sunlight but in any sort of lower light situations I find myself tilting the watch towards a light source to read the time. Positive display all day for me.

For me legibility is one of the cool factors so by that margin I’m not going to get a negative display. I have the GMW5610, it’s hard to beat if you live in an area where it syncs. I wear it to bed every night and it’s always dead on accurate, no effort on my end. In my opinion all Casio would have to do to make the perfect gshock is update the classic colorway of the gwm5610 (with the red ring), adding Bluetooth, “pm” indicator instead of “p”, ability to set backlight time, a vibe or sound alarm, and current time in the stopwatch and timer modes. They should release it in the classic color, all black, clear urethane, and the combi bracelet. I emailed them this information previously so I hope they do it.

For me, a negative display should always come with tough solar. Most of the times you need that illumination to see the time and illumination drains battery. Looks cool, but as an adventurer I will always use a positive display on my watches.

I've got a GXW56 coming, and I was looking at inverting the negative to positive, but you made me feel a bit better about the negative display. Maybe it'll be okay. Negative displays are nice for dual analogue/digital watches, but pure digital just looks wrong, in my opinion. I've got a dual display Seiko Sportura SNJ005, and that would look awful with a positive display.

If I want that 1980s look - the positive. For that slightly shady, a bit calmer, modern look - the negative. Fuckit, I always thought the negative ones looked like the LCD broke and liquid spilled inside. I'll take the 80's.

I chose the negative display not because of the display itself per se, but because the positive display model has no bluetooth. If the normal display model had had bluetooth, I would in fact have bought that one instead.

I have a negative casio and under most lighting conditions the screen is very readable. In dimly lit rooms I either look a bit harder or activate the light on the watch. This trivial level of inconvenience is more than worth paying for the added coolness of the negative display.

Personally i prefer positive as I believe negative displays are much harder to read. But after purchasing the Gwb5600 AR im actually impressed by how clear the time is. I dont kniw if its just me but some negative displays to be precise the gwb5600 series have a 'BETTER' negative display as compared to other 5600 series by casio.

5:10 does the negative display emit less light? If so, it could be useful in protecting night vision & light discipline.

I like the date on the "negative" display watch shows it in the traditional "English" format (day/month) rather than the "American" (month/day) format. Its the one feature on all the G-shocks I've owned I wish I could have changed.

I've had both a Fenix 1 and a Fenix 2 and the positive LCD (and white backlight) are the only thing I missed from the Fenix 1, I had to tweak contrast a lot in order to read the display at night while running, never had to do it with the Fenix 1

You mean a analogue display and digital? Too many parameters. Zillions of different handsets, dial colours glass types (domed with distortions etc) Different materials. Lume. Etc etc. At least with digital LCD there is only a few basic types.
