We earlier shared news about Casio’s partnership with the Surfrider Foundation Japan back in May. Now, two months later, the G5600SFJ-9 has been released and is ready for purchase in the US at a price of $150. This model is part of Casio’s ongoing "Love the Sea and the Earth" campaign and is built on the solar-powered G-5600UE foundation.
Bright and Unique Design
For this year, Casio has opted for a vibrant, sunrise-yellow case and strap made from a mix of bio-based resin. Each watch displays a unique marbling and color texture due to the special material blend, making every piece slightly different. This choice also reduces environmental impact, which is a key aspect of the collaboration’s message.
Special Features and Packaging
The digital timepiece showcases the Surfrider Foundation Japan logo on the display face and the case back, while the hashtag #oceanfriendlylifestyle is printed on the band keeper. The watch comes in custom packaging featuring coastal designs and includes a branded cloth pouch.
Advanced Functionality
Inside, this G-Shock is powered by Casio's well-known Tough Solar technology and comes with a comprehensive set of features. It offers 200-meter water resistance, a stopwatch with 1/100-second accuracy, countdown timer, five alarms, world time, automatic calendar, and an LED backlight with adjustable illumination duration. As with other 5600-series models, it has a compact size of 46.7 × 43.2 × 12.7 mm and weighs just 47 g. While it functions similarly to the G-5600UE-1 and G-5600UE-1JF, this model is distinguished by its bright resin finish and unique collaboration details.
