A Classic,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is one of those time proven classic watches that is hard to sum up in a short review. The DW-6600 just happens to be the longest running G-Shock in production, without any real updates to the design. The DW-6600 that you buy today will be nearly identical to the DW-6600 you purchased in 1994. There are very few watches in the industry that are good enough to survive 14 years of production without change.
The odd twist to this watch's long running heritage is that most of the DW-6600's made in 1994 are probably still running strong, with just a battery change. This watch has a toughness of legendary proportions. And if the watch does ever start to show its age, spare straps, bezels and gaskets can be ordered cheaply through the Casio Service Center. Strap adapters are even available to convert over to a one-piece dive strap. If that weren't enough, steel face protectors can be ordered to further increase the watch's durability. The DW-6600 is a regular "tour de force"...Read more

Great watch,
March 2, 2007 I wear this watch as my "beater." Although I own a couple of really nice watches, I'm in the Coast Guard, so I don't want to run the risk of bashing them up to the point that I wouldn't be able to wear them any longer. This G-Shock solves that work-related problem. Reliable, tough and keeps good time. Only thing I changed was removing the resin band with a significantly more comfortable (and probably longer-lasting) nylon Zulu band (County Comm sells the G-Shock adapters that allow installation).

And Now The Bad News...,
May 2, 2010 Arthur Greenwald (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casio Men's DW6600C-1V G-Shock Classic Digital Watch (Watch)
The DW=6600 is indeed a terrific, durable watch with exactly the right combination of features for a wide range of needs. Unfortunately the model 1V has added a big red "G" for G-Shock right in the middle of the blue display. This makes the display unreadable for many angles. This is especially a problem if you wear your watch on the "inside" of your wrist. If you can find the older model 1C, BUY IT instead.
