It seems the gorillaz are teaming up with Casio in an effort to sell more G-shocks.
The model is: DW-5600BB. Looks alright.

Yes that’s just the standard watch in those pics (I have one, they’re nice).
It doesn't. It's the DW-5600BB. https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/pr...dw-5600bb-1er/
Possible slip by a retailer ?

A question for those in the know about G-shocks. I'm finding that I have trouble reading the time on my 5000-1JF unless I have my readers on, which kind of defeats the object of wearing a watch.
I was wondering if a negative display would be easier to read and if so, is there a similar 5000 model or are they all 5600 only? And is there a multi-band solar with neg display?
If you're having some bother with the positive displays, I would not recommend a negative version. Even the newer ones, like the 5600-HR which are a little easier to read in my opinion, than the older GWM-5610 in negative (which is slightly smaller in any case than the 5600s) can be tricky.
Original negative 5000s are very expensive and impossible to find, as there were very few made. The newer GW-5035A-1 a 35th anniversary model also commands high prices, north of £450 and would I suspect also be tricky.
Maybe go for a larger watch, there are some excellent G's and also the digi-Tunas which are negative but have larger numerals.
Good luck.
Thanks for the info.
I don't really need the 5000 but it is a fantastic watch and I do like wearing it. I can read it, just not at a glance – it takes a few seconds to squint into focus. I was hoping a neg display might stand out more but seemingly not.
Since selling my analogue Tuna I have been thinking about a digi version. I'll have to investigate further.
Being announced at 1930 tonight apparently.
And probably sold out soon after
Black GX-56 king is cool, at 149GBP.
Others 5600 at 109 GBP.

Anyone manage to get one? Registered for the "Murdoch" green one, site crashed, got an email saying had priority as pre registered, but still couldn't get one!
You can keeps the Gorillaz ones, I’ll have one of these instead please (there is zero chance of me getting one )
