Casio G-Shock DW-6900CS-1CU

Here’s a watch I’m sure would have been highly sought after if it would have been nicknamed the Xbox G-Shock.  I say this because the colorway reminds me of the colors used on the original Xbox released in 2001.  That console, just like this watch comes in a black colorway with green and white highlights.  Officially this watch is a Casio G-Shock model DW-6900CS-1CU.
While the colorway and the model type is nice, my one complaint about this watch is that it’s a negative display.  I hate negative displays because in direct sunlight they’re difficult to read.  Of course all of this goes away in the dark when you shine that lume and it gives you a clear reading.  However this isn’t enough for me to recommend this model and I hope that the popularity of negative display watches goes away because I’m left with having to pass on nice colorway watches simply because they’re negative displays.
