This watch checks all the boxes for me. I like the MIP display, G-Shock tough case, solar charging, and step counter. Everything else is just icing on the cake. The buttons are a bit small and tough to manipulate, but I bought the watch on sale and it is good enough for the price.

Those buttons on the side look mighty small. I’ve got large fingers like your biceps…I also have the GW-B5600 which has small buttons. That is why I would swap it for a similar version but with larger buttons. The strap on mines is metal so will not deteriorate and is a solar powered Bluetooth version. No recharging of battery, I just leave it in the sun or bright light… So unless I want to look as good as you in the gym, I will not want to invest in this model. Tell me different please!
