The King
This is a beast of a watch. Big, chunky and blacked out.Love the styling, the light weight and the price.The negative display is the main thing I could criticise, but that’s in keeping with the style of the watch. Turning on auto EL will light up the display every time you raise the watch and, because it’s solar powered, you won’t be running down the battery when you do this.Other than that, the display isn’t quite as big as you may expect given it’s size. I’d say it’s probably on a par with a standard square g shock.All in all though, this is another bullet proof g shock that you’ll struggle to break in day to day wear.

Great watch but the numbers are quite small and hard to read
Watch is overall great, good functions overall. However the negative display and small numbers make it hard to read. Next to a G-shock square gives you a better notion of the size and dimensions between the two of them. Other than the small reading it's a good tough watch.

Good value, tough beater watch
Great watch, good value for money. Speedy delivery and perfect condition. Beware that the negative display is a bit of a challenge to read sometimes. I knew that when buying it but non the less of you want a very visible watch to read don’t buy it. It’s big and bulky and if you like that look then it will please you. Is comfortable to wear but it’s size can be inhibiting.

The ‘Stealth King’ is gorgeous, tough and a bit too stealthy for its own good
I’ve got a small collection of G-Shocks and decided to add the so-called ‘Stealth King’ a few months ago. First impressions are all WOW factor - this watch is enormous and beautifully detailed. Every element from the rivets to the turbine-style housing on the reverse is over-engineered without looking gaudy. The stealth matt black finish makes this a surprisingly classy bit of kit despite its enormous size, and looks good even on my admittedly skinny wrist. Seriously, this would suit Bruce Wayne OR Batman - he wouldn’t have to take it off. Tough Solar is also always worth having.It’s durable, obviously. I’ve dropped it, gone swimming and hot tubbed with it. Still pristine.I love it. I just wish that it wasn’t quite so stealthy!See, actually reading the numbers on the negative display is tricky especially if it’s in direct sunlight. The backlight is extremely dim and only lights up for a few seconds. You get used to it, and the ‘auto light’ setting that automatically backlights for a second when you flick your wrist helps a bit, but even so I can’t quite recommend this to anyone who doesn’t already have a G-Shock or two, as G-Shocks are supposed to be practical. If you’re looking to treat yourself, though, I’d go for it as it’s a seriously luxurious bit of kit.

Apocalypse Casio
What are you getting if you buy this watch? An enormous G-shock square, which appears to be completely indestructible. If you like the look of the watch and are unsure whether or not to buy it; go for it.It's good value for money, and your only hang-up is legibility - which, I can confirm, is absolutely fine. It has a negative display, but you will have no issue with it.Viewed at the right angle or with the backlight, it is perfectly legible. It doesn't have multi-band atomic syncing BUT if you set it against the atomic clock, it will hold time perfectly well, within a few seconds.You could argue the negative display is better - viewed at an angle it doesn't look like four 8s the way some non-negative displays turn into. I had the tough solar GW-M5610-1JF square, but my son pinched it, so this is my replacement - overall, I am really happy with it. All functions are great, this one is also tough solar, so unless the sun explodes, you're good to go for the end of days.Again; it's massive - if you are a bigger human, it will look the bee's knees and the cat's pj's.

Great replacement
My last solar watch has lasted ages but it was getting harder to use the buttons, so this new watch is great , I like a large watch , but the only thing I did was download the instructions because the print in the book is tooo small , great purchase

RUBBISH DISPLAY
No its not my eyes or my age, this display is barely readable. What Casio was thinking making a watch with such a dim display is a mystery to me. Its not cool, its rubbishAVOID AT ALL COST, SERIOUSLY

Big watch for big wrists
This is a great looking watch. I love it’s low key stealth design and size. I have large wrists (20cm), so this watch appears relatively normal sized in the photos, but make no mistake it is big. Plenty of strap eeben for me. Bought for its looks, durability and functionality I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is also solar powered. World timer, stopwatch, timer and alarm all normal g-shock functions. A great watch for those of us with larger wrists.
