I've only been talking about the general shape and appearance, not how it's put together internally. And on that note it's basically a GMW-B5000 with a negative MIP. To me that means they fixed the two biggest problems with the GMW-B5000D-1.

even put together externally its different.
anyway...a MIP is only good for those who like negative displays.

and there is nothing wrong at all with the positive display 5000D...afterall how many have been happy with their STN displays? plenty.

It's not that there's anything wrong with them, but, MIP does appear to be even better.

I don't care about this dumb argument, but just to be factual, the new model's screen doesn't just appear better, it is better thanks to pixel-level memory for low power use, superior legibility in all lighting conditions, and better viewing angles.

It's not surprising that a classic square with this advanced display has been such a requested update, despite a slower refresh rate.

Or that the classic square Casio chose to introduce it with is their premium full-metal model 5000D, with some minor tweaks.

I haven't bought a G since the 35th anniversary limited edition Haze thing, and that was a gift. This silver one is calling me but I'll have to check if the Multi-Band 6 works in my location.

But you do have DWH56000 already at less than half the price of OP model....

Yeah but it's got the HR sensor junk and needs to plug into a charger

Some of the data on screen looks very small to my aging eyes, the date and 2nd time zone for example.

I share the same challenge. Would be great if those views could be configured to be similar as in "normal" squares, i.e. bigger but informative enough fonts.

let's hope Casio recognizes the font needs to be enlarged...there is space...I wouldn't mind if the lined rectangle around the 2nd time zone is removed......as long as they remove the useless "WT" from the screenshot I'll be happy...

....keep in mind what we've seen so far is not official from Casio....

....anybody got a world time screen shot of the DW-H5600?

....below are other models to compare....

That not the point. Point i was making there is already "Square" as in look of DW5600 and such mips Casio and it comes with solar charging and more bells and whistles. And it works fine on solar if you urn off HR and fitness. So there is not much going on in terms of WOW Casio made and breakthrough. shut up and take my money i will pay twice as much for less watch but with steel bracelet.
Which by the way...

I do anticipate "but MB6".... so yes sure it worth 500$ CAD. MB6 forever! Till you know who will cut budget for this organization in NA.

Thing is it is a multi pixel B&W display with general purpose micro controller... so they can have it all... Big, small or even analog or analog digital ...
But that is Casio way. You only allowed to have one thing until they release new and more expensive model. In gold....
DWH5600 has 3 screens World time in not on these.
There is separate WT mode though.

Given other MIPS square/round models it will have several (3?) screens to choose from. We need to wait till actual model release to know what it will be.
Still far cry from anybody else . Garmin had 13 in first Instinct and in I3 model you can download 3d party ones. But i guess you know it already.

I have been looking at LCD displays on my wrist since the early 70’s.

They look old and dated to me, because, they are.

The word obsolete comes to mind.

At this point, I am not personally affected by this since my only semi-regularly worn G square is the DW500R-1A original remake.
I loved it then and its fun reliving the experience now.

However, it’s time to join the modern age and get a display that doesn’t look like an antique.
The sharp, easy to read negative displays integrate into cases better than the old posi’s too. The black screen looks more contemporary and state of the art.
The metal case and bracelet will keep in step with my higher end mechanical watches.

I can’t wait for them and am glad so many of you seem to dislike them.
Easier for me to snag one when they come out.

I don’t want a Garmin or Suunto.

Don’t need a multi colored screen anyway, it’s a watch, not a wrist phone.

MIP and OLED are both huge advancements over LCD so who cares?

But hey, go ahead and cling to your LCD display squares. Change can be hard, especially if you have dozens of them in your collection. An MIP square would stick out like a very sharp, legible, sore thumb amongst the old squares.

Think of the money you’ll save, probably enough for several new, albeit, old, LCD squares.

Meanwhile, I shall have a metal G with a modern, legible negative display, and I will never look back.
