Casio G-Shock DW-600

I recently purchased a few G-Shocks in the DW range, which were smaller than the usual G-Shock watches.

This watch was released in December 1994 along with a few other designs labeled DW-6x0, but they were all small. This particular model is the DW-600.

These watches were actually the forerunners to the Baby-G which came out in May 1995, so were one of only a few small true G-Shock watches Casio released.

It uses a 1104 module which has a two row LCD display showing day and date along the top, and 6 digit time along the bottom (but with the right-most digit appearing narrower than the others). Mode-wise, the watch has alarm and stopwatch functions, and the mode button is also used to cycle through to the time setting mode.

Shape-wise, it is a normal shock resistant design, but has a wire attached set of bumper bars protecting the glass.

I'm not sure what this exact variants full model number is, but the strap part number is 426F214.
