Three years after G-Shock released the DWH5600 they issued an updated version into their surfing line, the G-Lide GBX5600. I got the blue one to see what updates have been brought to the software, how the body of the watch fares with its updates, and to test first-hand the battery life.

Rant about the DW-H5600 while I walk.
So there I was walking around a duck pond in Odessa, Texas ranting about my G-Shock DW-H5600 when a cute fluffy dog walked up to me and wanted some pats. Yes, the momentum of my anger was derailed for a moment but I harnessed the change in tack to lighted up the video a tad.
