Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
Casio G-SHOCK GMD-S5600NC-9 – Nature’s Color Botanical Digital Watch
Casio G-SHOCK GMD-S5600NC-9 – Nature’s Color Botanical Digital Watch
The Casio G-SHOCK GMD-S5600NC-9 takes the legendary square G-SHOCK design and gives it a softer, nature-inspired personality. Part of Casio’s Nature’s Color series, this compact digital model combines a warm cream/beige case and strap with a refreshing light-blue botanical-patterned dial, creating a distinctive look that stands apart from the traditional black G-SHOCK.
Casio designed the collection around colors inspired by flowers, trees and other natural elements. The GMD-S5600NC-9 features a subtle herb-leaf motif printed across the dial, with glossy details that change appearance as they catch the light. (Casio)
Compact G-SHOCK Toughness
Despite its smaller proportions, this is still a genuine G-SHOCK. The GMD-S5600NC-9 features Casio's legendary shock-resistant construction along with an impressive 200 meters / 20 BAR water resistance.
At just 41 grams and only 11.9mm thick, it's considerably lighter and more compact than many traditional G-SHOCK models, making it particularly comfortable for smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a less bulky watch. (Casio)
The case, bezel and strap incorporate bio-based resin produced using renewable organic resources, giving the model another connection to its nature-inspired design theme. (G-SHOCK)
Super Illuminator & Classic Digital Functions
The digital display is equipped with Casio's Super Illuminator high-brightness LED backlight, providing excellent readability after dark.
It also includes the practical features that have made the classic square G-SHOCK a favorite for decades, including a 1/100-second stopwatch, 24-hour countdown timer, multifunction alarm, hourly time signal, flash alert and full automatic calendar through 2099. (Casio)
