CASIO GXW-56-1BJF


I purchased the CASIO GXW-56-1BJF. This huge G-Shock watch are the Asian model of the GX-56. It comes in the simple but nice package. I purchased the watch from Japan assuming it is made in Japan, however i was disappointed what I've seen on the cover. My piece is "Made in China". So in case you prefer the Japan made stuff check with your favorite retailer. I have to mention that in case you wear long sleeve shirt or jacket you may feel your wrist really uncomfortable due to the big case. In general this timepiece is really solid and well made. It looks very sporty and I have to recommend for the sports especially in the hot summer when you do not wear the long sleeves :o)
