There's been rumors saying that the MB6 works on the west coast of Peninsula but never experience it working myself with all the MB6 Gs I have...

This is what i googled, i believe SEA countries like Malaysia, SG and Indo is not in the coverage.






I think New Zealand can't support either.

Not sure if this is true, it works at Alor Setar

Yes, the multiband function is useless.
Only applicable to the 5 or 6 counties with the atomic clock radio towers or using an app on your phone.

just use JJY silmulator software...i synced my multiband watch with that software

I've read ppl in in SG receiving atomic signals... but only in certain locations and need to go high up.
jjy is ok but i wont use it often... cos lazy to redo the timezone and my longitude / latitude settings after using it.

i tried receiving atomic signal all over the coast at cherating, penang, pangkor etc...all no luck...go kelantan side also cannot get.
perhaps need some perfect conditions like after rain when skies clear at like 3am or something when less interference.

Since is not supported in Malaysia, that's fine. Just thinking to use it as a travel watch. I like the size and weight, What do you guys suggest? Going for tough solar or normal battery version? They 5600 battery only can last for 2years right?

all personal preference really.
my traveling casios are either my rangeman or protrek prw3000.
if u don't mind changing batt every 2-3yrs...nothing wrong with 5600...cept that its too small for my tastes.
u can also source for the G5600 or GWM5610 which are solar...

What bro Everdying said it right, solar is less maintenance compared to battery version I fell in love with solar battery after owning my first G-Steel

I do have a carbon fibre solar 5600 to let go if you're interested

5630D or S5600?
If 5630D please PM

Hahaha it's S5600

Got it already. Just looking out for the 5630D, its either too expensive or non existent

I think the GW-5630D is more than 1.5k now...

was eyeing rangeman also and i really like the abc function, treking with those function is real fun . lazada selling 899 but, i saw ppl complaining the rug design flaws. Too bad, over budget.
omg i doesn't know there is pure 5600 tough solar model, i tot 5610 is the only tough solar model and without the multiband function g5600 is cheaper too.
actually i really like the dw-5600-ms1 color. negative display and stealthly look Most likely i will go for solar. I saw the real watch, pretty small indeed, but i think gonna fit my tiny wrist
gonna wait for christmas and new year sale from lazada to get it with huge discount Thanks for your recommandation
one last question, how long does the band last if wear it everyday? life span around 2 years?

Ya, he is right Nice carbon fibre you have there, but over budget. Thanks man

lazada ppl are stupid...same stupid ppl in other forums also complaining about lug design... when in reality so few got issues out of thousands.
real reality is that previous gshock models also got same issue, dont believe go google.
but rangeman is more popular and in recent memory so those stupid ppl make noise again now.

Chill chill, I saw it on wuc forum because previously checking out rangeman. Lazada I didn't see ppl complaining. Ya out of thousands only few got issue. Those really no luck

today i molested someone's depth sensor froggie, quite heavy and big.
from memory feels even bigger than gx56.

anyway, for the price not for me.
kinda novelty as unless u go diving often, a bit wasted... since its basically triple sensor of temp & moon / compass / depth.

casio really making a killing with frogman...
cos got cheap moon / compass and also cheap cheap depth sensor watches...
but casio takes all those cheap cheap sensors and charges like 10 times more

I asked a few diver friends before, they did mention before that the entry level diving computer aren't that expensive nowadays so G-Shock is really cashing in on the brand and the shock resistant factor I guess..

Anyway, picture for your comparison I think the GX-56 still feels and looks bigger but the D1000 Frogman is really heavy :lol2:

Jun, you know how change bnb ?
till now, i still donno how to open the band

Which model? G-Shock bnb are normally easy to open just a few screws, except the GA-110/100 series....those a bit susah...

i only able to open bezel except band
all this time, i brought to watch shop only..
