Casio G-Shock DW-610

Today it's the third of my mini G-Shock watches. They were meant to have been blogged in order, but this 'middle' version comes last due to me picking up the wrong one last time.

This model is the DW-610, and is the third in my DW-6xx range. As with the DW-600 and DW-620 that I've blogged earlier (here and here), this is a smaller size G-Shock watch which was one of the last small versions in the full G-Shock range (released in Dec 1994) before the introduction of the Baby-G in May 1995.

It uses a 1416 module which has the same general features, but different layout, as the DW-620's 1419 module. There is a 6 digit LCD display with smaller seconds, and a squashed first digit. I'm the middle of the face there is a round segment with a 5x5 dot matrix LCD display. This normally shows a letter G which rotates for 2 seconds every 10 seconds, but also shows the letters of the mode name when not in time mode. When the el-backlight is illuminated, this display shows an animated stickman surfing (maybe snowboarding), performing tricks, and wiping out at the end. Like the other mini G-Shocks and Baby-Gs this watch is only 100m water resistant (compared to 200m for a regular G-Shock).
