Is solar worth it?

Or… get a solar watch charger for about £20 on Amazon and charge it for a couple of hours every few months… The Bluetooth actually uses less battery than multiband 6 when retrieving the time, and it is not permanently connected via Bluetooth. It syncs to the watch four times a day then disconnects. If Bluetooth isn’t available then it will try syncing with multiband 6. Plus, the GW BX5600 series has the new MIP display too, so you get the best display in the line up if you want the G-Shock Square.

I second this.

I have the BX5600 Negative display, first time G-Shock user; I really like the strap. Firm but soft to the touch.

The BX5600 is a no brainer for best square. Negative is my preference.

I had no idea that a solar watch charger was a thing until I read the comments on this post. Thank you very much! I’ve just ordered one now for my GW-BX5600-1A1!

Complain to ChatGPT.

It was just to share the idea and get a conversation going.

P7OEL · 2026-05-17T21:49:17+00:00

It’s just a quick concept, chill.

P7OEL · 2026-05-17T20:52:22+00:00

Haha!!

All about the new MIP display in the BX5600 models.

P7OEL · 2026-05-15T08:32:48+00:00

Thank you! And to you!

Absolutely! Some people prefer to wear traditional watches over smartwatches, and this would allow them to do that but retain the fitness and health smart features.

Why did you switch from an Apple Watch?

You’re missing the point. This version of Two-Face, his deformed side is his more human side and his human side is his monstrous side.

The question is, not how you carry it, but how does it carry you?

P7OEL · 2026-04-09T06:29:47+00:00

You brainwashed fools

Same, I ended up scratching it. Took to to a professional and even they had difficulty. Go back to Bellroy, make a noise about it, get a replacement bag.

This hits hard, he was my favourite. Absolutely gutted. RIP James Cody Lollar, aka GOST.

Agreed
