Great price for an iconic watch!

For anyone who doesn't know, this is THE quintessential g-shock. It pays tribute to the second g-shock model the dw-5200 that was in the iconic hockey puck ad in 1984. That watch was the watch that saved g-shock and was nicknamed "Hero".

The 5600 was first released in the late 80s and has been in many movies including "Speed" in the early 90s. That movie helped the model catch on with the public.

The watch is rated to 200m water resistance and is tough as nails. Holds the record for surviving being run over by the heaviest truck. It's NASA certified and has been to space many times.

The reason it is on clearance is there is a newer version that has a white LED backlight instead of the classic green electroluminescence. I like the look of the traditional green light better, but the new version has improved battery life.

The biggest negatives of the 5600s in my opinion is the adjust button on the top left is very recessed to prevent accidental button press. This makes it very difficult for some people to press. I had to spend a long time figuring out how to press it with my thumb finger nail. Also, the replaceable battery is only rated for 2 years. But many people get 5 and even more. It depends how much you use the backlight etc
Been on my wrist daily for the last 4 years. Has been in a crazy motorcycle crash and the "protection" wording has been ground off from sliding but still works like day one with the OG battery
This is perhaps one of the most reliable, durable watch you can buy for under $30 bucks.

I have no reason to purchase this except that it's one of the OG's of watches and is back in style too.

my instincts are telling me that this watch should only cost $12
The $12 non gshock versions definitely feel much worse.

This is an incredible deal. Wow.

Metal cases in all different colors can be had for $20 on eBay and they look great

What's old is new again, was watching the Queen Montreal concert which was recently remastered and they are wearing zoomer pants.

Description says it has solar but it most definitely does not if the picture and model number are correct

I recommend taking a screenshot of the page (with the date if possible...as in include the clock & date in the corner of your PC screen). You can talk with their support and make an argument that you did not receive what you paid for AFTER...KEY WORD: AFTER receiving the item. Ask for a REPLACEMENT (citing that you wanted a SOLAR version, which was the item you WANTED to purchase, as you saw on the website). At worst, you can send it back as it's NOT your fault the website description was incorrect.

YMMV. Good luck!

[Edit] After receiving my watch. I sent an email (because the chat wasn't available). It wasn't long and simply implied that I was expecting the solar feature. I got an email this morning in response saying they refunded my purchase and I didn't need to send the watch back. I also was given a $10 coupon for a future purchase. Figured I'd update my original post for anyone that might wonder what happened.

I wouldn't have returned it regardless, as I think it is a great deal and I have already swapped the recessed button (swapped the two top button locations).

Again, YMMV. Have a great weekend everyone.
