Damn you MWC… I told myself, no more negative screens. Looks like I may need to pick this up. You should reach out to world class bassist Janek Gwizdala for a watch collection reveal. It would make for a dope episode of music and watches. He’s been expressing his love for watches on his content recently.

I've got the glx version of the 5500. One thing you can't emphasize enough is the stiffness of the buttons :They are not just stiff, they are *extremely* stiff. Last time I wanted to synchronize it, I had to remove the back plate and push the buttons from the inside : no matter how hard I pushed from the outside, the watch would not go in setup mode. Arnold Schwarzeneger had one : I understand why it had to be him.

I have the same GLX-5500-1DR model you described with glossy pattern black resin, which wears off to the bare white resin easily. the shroud buttons are so stiff and next to impossible to press, whenever DST changes, it takes me half an hour and alot of sore finger tips to get that done. i like the form of that watch and indeed wears very comfortably but i don't ever wear that watch because i can't even get the LED on at night, making this G-shock essentially useless
