BIG CASE, SOLAR POWER

G-ShockBorrowed and reviewed

G-Shock King GX-56BB

I changed my mind after wearing it. The large case, solar charging and auto backlight grew on me, and the square display is easy to read.

3.6 / 5 GOAT Reviews score

Best for:People who want a very large G‑Shock with solar charging and auto backlight
Not ideal if:You have a smaller wrist, or want soft buttons and a loud alarm. The case is huge, the buttons feel stiff and I found the alarm quiet.
