Heart rate measurements for the active life

Equipped with an optical sensor for measuring heart rate on the case back. Uses LED light to measure changes in blood flow to track heart rate. Also includes an accelerometer to count steps. For even greater accuracy of distance measurement, just pair with a smartphone and its GPS will adjust the data captured by the watch’s accelerometer.

Compact octagonal design: Comfortable size for active use

The iconic octagonal form of the original G-SHOCK is delivered in a size that makes for a comfortable fit on the wrist by reducing the battery size and slimming the memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD, even while incorporating the new optical sensor. The DW-H5600MB and DW-H5600EX come with either black or blue IP applied to the metal bezel for a look of luxe refinement.

Earth-friendly eco-materials: For the health of people and nature both

Key resin components of the case, bezel, and band are made with bio-based resins. In addition, the case features the first use of bio-based carbon fibre-reinforced resin in a G-SHOCK. Using renewable organic resources helps reduce the ecological footprint. Recycled materials are used for the packaging, as well. Everything about the design exudes eco-consciousness and healthy living.

Activity modes to support four different activities

The watch supports running, walking, gym workouts, and interval training. Select an activity with the touch of a button to track and display a variety of measurements in real time.

Solar-assisted charging

Use USB charging for training functions such as heart rate monitor, as well as smart functions such as notifications and step tracker.*1 Time display is powered solely by solar charging, even when battery runs low.*2

*1 Charging time: Approximately three hours. Allows approximately five days of continuous operation from a full charge, when using for one hour of activity per day and heart rate measurement during sleep.

*2 When charged about eight hours every day under indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux), and charged at window side on a sunny day for two hours in a week (10,000 lux).
