I have 6 G-shocks & recently became enamored with this “Mission Impossible 2” watch. I chose the original version over the multi-band 6/solar version simply because of the BEAUTIFUL color way. That red G-shock logo is just 🔥. The band does feel softer as you stated. Your review was very helpful & gave me a few pointers I didn’t know about the watch. Your watch must have been at the store for a while cause it has the electro-luminescent back light. I mail ordered mine & just received it on 8/18. Mine says LED backlight & lights up bright white. I saw another review on this watch & they said the LED version has a battery life of 5 years. This is my current favorite G also & I’m definitely in the honeymoon phase. 😂 GREAT review 👍
@@sci-fyguy7767 That is very kind of you! I was indeed lucky in getting the svelte afterglow style EL backlight! I really don’t see any differences between it and what the 6900 looked like in 1995.
I got this watch about a month ago, and I've been loving it since. I saw this watch model on a lot of wrists when I was growing up, but I was never really a watch enthusiast back then. When I saw this for a discounted price on Amazon, I just had to get it. While I love the watch, I would've preferred the one with Tough Solar + MB6, since I don't have to worry about battery changes, but it was quite the significant price difference for that model, so I'm pretty happy with my normal DW-6900. The one I bought has the new white-blue LED backlight found on the GW-M5610U, thus the 6900 model I got says DW-6900U on backplate. Would love to get a GW-6900 some day. Hope you enjoy the watch 💯
@@asvp_m3l Yeah, I learned of the U version the other day. I lucked out with getting mine that has the original EL green-like glow. I’m sure yours though is very easy to read at night.

Since the 6600 is discontinued this and the 9052 are the remaining GWOT g-shocks 🕌💥👳♀️🎯 🇺🇸⚓🦅
@@Oozy9Millimeetah Absolutely!
yup, wearing the 9052 right now i love it, now all i need is a 6900
6600 has been reintroduced using module 3527. Also the 6900 update is now available using module 3529. Both now use an LED light. 😊
How much does it cost you?
@@damianchan2129 If I remember correctly it was about 63 bucks.
