This is a great watch for the money. I've taken it surfing a few times now -- the tide indicator works reasonably well, provided you set it up correctly (google recommended for that) -- and after simply washing away any sand or surf wax from the day, it still looks glossy and brand new. I have a few watches, some of which are exponentially more expensive than this one, but I find myself wearing this more and more (even when not doing anything that would require the G-Shock 'toughness'). It works well and just happens to look great to boot.

Nice watch. Definitely a smaller version of the G-Shock Line. It has a very glossy appearance, more glossy than the picture. The major downside are the buttons on the watch are very small, and can be difficult to use.

Old school styling, simple interface.
Shiny band, doesnt feel cheap though.
Low profile doesn't hang up in my gear when putting arms through sleeves in wetsuits, backpacks, or heavy coats.

Accurate watch to predict tides, tested in the St. Lawrence estuary, Québec. Nice look, buttons are well placed (no accidental button pressing). It would be nice to know sunrise and sunset for the next G-Lide generation.

This watch fits well, looks good, shows the moon and tide with clarity for its size. I use it for boating so that's great. Tough to hit the buttons to work any of the functions as they are small and too indented. So changing functions, using the night light, turning on and off the countdown and timers means growiing long nails and working on your precision! Very durable but the durability hurts the functionality.

I've owned the black GLC5600 for nearly 2 years now and I absolutely love it. I kayak and really only like to go out at high tide... therefore this watch is exceptionally useful. I set the tides for my location nearly 2 years ago and it remains deadly accurate.

It may be difficult to locate your particular Lunitidal Interval for your location, but Google should eventually yield the proper value. For those in the Long Island Sound to Maine region, the proper Lunitidal Interval is: 11 hours and 10 minutes

With this value, I can look at my watch all the way up to Maine and be certain of accurate tidal information.

I love this watch so much that I recently purchased a second that is sitting in a drawer waiting for the day that this one gets destroyed (if ever!). If I never end up using it, I'll have a wonderful Casio antique in to sell on eBay in the year 2040. :)

I love this watch. It's classy and everything that I was hoping to get out of a watch. I've received so many compliments on it and I love how well it goes with anything I choose to wear. I would definitely buy another one

This watch is tough, looks great (shiny brilliant white) and the tide graph helps me surfing all the time. Love it!

I bought this as a gift for my brother...although the look is very basic the gloss gives it a clean, hip look to it and you can wear it with any casual outfit...great for anyone looking for a nice watch on a budget but wants to have a bit of style to them

I love this watch! It has a lot of features, such as a stopwatch, world time, a timer, and it even shows the moon phases and an approximation of water tides. How cool is that! At first it may seem intimidating because of all the features it comes with, but once you play with it for a few minutes you will find it pretty easy to use. Not to mention it looks great! It has a smooth glossy finish with a slick desin on it. The price I bought it for here on amazon was great because i've seen it elsewhere for more. Definitely a recommended buy if your looking for a beautiful, sporty kind of watch that has plenty of cool features.
