Despite costing under $100, G-Shock’s long-running 5600 Series is among the Casio sub-brand’s best offerings. One of its big strengths is its expansive catalog of colorway options, ranging from mild to wild (like the recent Sith-like black-and-red drop).
However, the latest version, the G-Shock DW5600WW-7, is unique in that its colorway makes it perhaps the most minimalist in the entire lineup.
White as the freshly laden snow
What sets this particular G-Shock apart is its complete and utter lack of color. This is about as pale as any of the brand’s watches have ever been.
Over the course of the 5600 Series’ history, there have been other white versions (including this currently available one). Still, they usually have a pop of color or stylistic flourish somewhere.
By comparison, this one is almost entirely devoid of even a speck of contrast, if not for its silver pushers, buckle and gray dial lettering. Of course, it still has the watch’s signature display with its gray background and black digits, letters and icons.
