SGW 400H
5600E
Bought 2 Casio watches on 8 Aug 13 from 3D Watch Shop at Bencoolen.
The first one is SGW 400H, a twin sensors watch that measures atmospheric pressure, temperature and height. It also gives a rough guide to the weather condition, whether it is fine or cloudy. Except for atmospheric pressure which is more or less constant in room condition, temperature, height and weather condition have large variations. Height for example give a reading of +/- 5 meters. It has 100m water resistance which is sufficient for most uses. Price of the watch is SGD$72.
The Casio 5600E is a G-shock. This was my second G-shock watch. The first one was given by a friend more than 10 years ago. The 5600E costs SGD$98. Interesting features include its tough solar capability which means the watch is solar powered. According to the shop, the watch could last for 7 years if it is charged consistently. It has a very classic Casio design which can last for many years. It has a 200m water resistance which is possibly deeper than what a human bare body can dive. Compared to round men G-shock, it has 4 rather small buttons for controls. The face of the watch is also smaller than men G-shock. The watch has a power saving function which will be turn on (no display) when it is dark and between the time of 10pm and 7am. It has a power reserved indicator which reminds me of some high end expensive automatic watches that have similar function mechanically.
Both watches have standard features such as world time, countdown timer, stop watch, alarm and hourly signal.
