The multi band function not working on Malaysia and Singapore right? I saw the Amazon seller saying that the multi band function works at New Zealand but I doubt that.

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.

The Japanese signal JJY can be successfully received in Brisbane and Sydney, Australia, even though they are outside the official range of the signal. Unfortunately, atomic G’s have a pre-set list of signals that ‘can’ be received in the different locations, and Casio has decided that there is no available signal in Australia. So if you set your home city to Sydney, the G will not even try to sync.


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...
*
was eyeing rangeman also and i really like the abc function, treking with those function is real fun tongue.gif . 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. rclxms.gif
actually i really like the dw-5600-ms1 color. negative display and stealthly look blush.gif Most likely i will go for solar. I saw the real watch, pretty small indeed, but i think gonna fit my tiny wrist bruce.gif
gonna wait for christmas and new year sale from lazada to get it with huge discount laugh.gif Thanks for your recommandation cheers.gif
one last question, how long does the band last if wear it everyday? life span around 2 years?

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

I do have a carbon fibre solar 5600 to let  go if you're interested tongue.gif
*
Ya, he is right biggrin.gif 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

They are using the courier service called aramex right? I've bought twice from them without issue but recently the bag always comes opened... but I check on the spot and the watch is still there...

Bought a Rangeman & GD-X6900 from them before..
*
yes aramex, they forwarded to gdex in my area. FML
i called lazada cs they said they will check the parcel and get back to me. ask me dont worry.
i've been buying with lazada for the past 3 years this is my first time encounter this issue.

after a long week, in the end lazada going for refund. from the update, the suspect lost item is from aramax not gdex. i donno which parties going to take responsible for this, but it doesn't matter anymore.
after refund most likely i will go to get from gpeople.
DW-5600P-1, it use CR2025 battery, 10 years battery life. So it doesn't really matter it is not solar power. look cool though.
omg gpeople gave wrong info? casio stated cr2016 battery not cr2025. swt
