Gxw-56-1aer Review

[Marti Buday]

Before going any further, I want to point out the differences between the GXW and the GX. The GXW is the Japanese version and has multi-band atomic timekeeping. The GX is the American version which is less expensive, and has all the features of the GXW except atomic time calibration. This review focuses specifically on a GXW-56-1BJF which I imported from Japan in order to get atomic time calibration, but most of what I cover here pertains to the GX, as well.)

So what is this mysterious new aGEL material? aGEL, or Alpha GEL, is the brand name for the soft silicone gel material which was first made famous by Asics Gel running shoes, and it helps to make the GXW-56 even more shock and vibration resistant than your standard G-Shock.

Watch sizes are like haircuts. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to get used to them, but once you do, they feel completely natural. Rather than it feeling big, my other watches now feel too small. To me, the size, bulk, and presence of the GXW-56 simply represents more of a very good thing.

Unfortunately Christian is no longer with Watchreport, and I am not sure of his wrist size. I would look up some old reviews from 2008-2012 or so either here or on Youtube done by Christian to find out his wrist size.
