    I picked up the led one about a week ago. It’s my first g shock, and I really like it, the strap feels really nice. Glad to know about the colors, and I think the led fits the watch much better

    Lucky! Nice pickup. I too like the change from EL to LED as it makes possible a longer battery life. As Casio is always coservative with battery life estimates, provided you don't go too crazy with the alarm and light functions, you could get close to 10 years.
    And, FWIW, I recently got a DW-5750 and it also has some sort of batch/production or time code or serial number on the backplate.

      Depends on the version you have with the EL backlight. The older versions had grainy displays. The very last Thailand HD model was actually not bad. But yeah generally the new LED backlight models seem to be clearer and have a wider viewing angle.

      @collectingwatches you should know that even the original 5600c has differences in the modules throughout the years. Some have very clear displays and some have a grainy background. Newer 901 modules have a green backlight while most have the regular incandescent bulb. I've have a bunch of 5600c watches throughout the years since I was buying a flipping them for a short while.

      ​@chosearmandoarmando3864 the original 5600e was made in Malaysia, then, China. They switched to Thailand with the very last 1545 modules before being made in China again when the 3229 module came out. They're currently being made in Thailand again with the most recent 3229 modules and current 3525 module. The most recent Thailand HD models with EL seem to have the clearest displays compared to the older EL versions.

    The EL backlight is king. I wore my DW-5600E throughout my time in the military and police primary working nights. The greenish blue light is much better in total darkness, when I got a GW-9400 with the LED I hated it because it blasted out my eyes at night. Its sad the EL is basically discontinued....
