That's a Casio G-Shock Globe X Collaboration Limited Edition GRX5600GE-1

The spec is here: http://www.gshock.com/products/Limited/GRX5600GE-1

First I swapped out the original strap with a DW5600E strap and the watch wears comfortable and looks great. Now I am trying it on the combo bracelet from GWM5610BC. So far I like and I think the red LCD with black buttons looks great with the bracelet.

The contrast and shinny numbers makes reading the time quite difficult. I basically have to use the EL to read the time in all condition except for the under day light.

What I like about it:
+ great looks
+ solar
+ limited edition
+ current time shown in STW mode

What I don't like about it:
- difficult to read LCD in all buy good lighting condition. (nothing a press of the EL button won't fix)
- only 60 min STW mode. 24hr STW would be much more useful

nice thx for the review...i've read it like so many others :-D i have many watches with a sort of inverted lcd...most of them have the same problem..difficult to read.
here the problem is that there is to much going on, on those tiny screen.

Some of the recent Casio reverse LCD offerings are actually quite easy to read for its kind.

I have a DW5600SN that's really easy to read (again, for its kind).

there are more reverse LCD like that, you just have to pick the right color for the numbers
