Anyone can share experiences DW-H5600?

Just want to vent my frustration for the Rangeman GW9400. Owned this watch since 2021 and I have no issues to sync the watch using the atomic timekeeping until today. As usual I changed my timezone to Tokyo and turn on the JJY Simulator on iPhone. I’ve been trying for hours to sync the time and it keeps showing ERR. Started smoothly picking up L2 and L3 signal then nada, even though the volume is on full blast before showing ERR. Daily beater, with an office job hence disappointed for the atomic timekeeping to malfunction.

What’s your view on Casio multiband 6? Should I move on to the bluetooth time sync?

Recently purchased both a G-Shock GA-2100-1A1 or known as the TMJ version as well as the DW-5600BB-1DR. Looking for a 3rd G-Shock black out version to complete my collection. Was looking at the DW6900BB to complete the trio but open to any other suggestions?

GX-56BB-1?

It looks too similar to my DW-5600BB-1DR although I would have purchased the GX-56BB-1 over the DW-5600BB

In that case, I actually think DW-5900BB looks pretty cool. Otherwise the DW-6900BB is a good call.

modern old school like aw-500bb...
or one with mip display...gbx-100ns
or one of the g-steels...

You can get cheaper casio watches in Bugis Street

honestly using JJY is so inefficient...
at most it'll take u 1min max to manually reset the time, compared to how long JJY takes.

atomic is only best used in auto mode, especially where u have multiple watches so they all can sync automatically overnight without u having to do anything...

anyway Bluetooth of cos is a better tech...as it also syncs 4 times a day...

Thanks for the recommendations, will check them out. The only G-Steel that I thought was interesting is the GST-B500BD-1A to match the rest of the blacked out collection. Will try that on to see if it is something that might fit. Initially I didn't want to get any steel watches because I already have other watches in those categories.

Anyone think Mudmasters are too damn big? I have an 8 inch wrist and the smallest of the mudmasters GG1000, but yet I feel that they are big.

ya the mudmasters...gbd...rangeman...all lost the plot already... think got 1 or 2 almost 60mm width...like wearing hockey puck on wrist...

This gw9400 rangeman works quite well on my wrist though. Sold that mudmaster and got this instead. On paper, the dimensions are not so different. I guess i just have to try it firsthand.

any nice stealth/phantom model? was looking at gx-56bb-1dr to add into my collections.

i went for the mudman gw-9500 instead. just nice for oil & gas field job.

gw-9500

I just recently got this GW-400j from an aftermarket. It's a super cool piece even after 20 years and it was one of my wishlists back when I was in high school.

However, there's this symbol "Recov" flashing and it's limited quite some features. Not sure if it's required to change the battery or not since the power is at "high"?

likely is change the solar battery.
my gw9400 also is due for battery change, after around 8yrs...
i also just changed another solar battery in a g-steel after 5yrs.
in both cases they charge just fine to H from M or L.

basically for most normal usage u wont know the battery has degraded.
but use intensive functions that beep alot, like stopwatch or ABC...or moving hands to see LCD etc...
then the watch will freeze for a few mins as i guess it doesn't have enough voltage to recover.

There is no reason to turn on the radio-controlled function right since we can't receive the radio signal?

u can't turn it off completely anyway... only disable it by having country setting that has no reception...

My model has the option to turn it on/off.
