Wow! The GW-M5610 is still kicking around. I thought by now, the GW-B5600 would be the official replacement to it.
The GW-M5610 is one of my favorites, glad to hear they’re still making new models even if it is just a limited edition. I hope the absence of bluetooth means these watches will be a little more affordable but again, given that it’s a limited edition, I won’t be holding my breath.
Any idea if this will be released in USA? Is there a chance that GShock USA could release it here?
Japan post has stopped all shipments to the USA, so impossible to get it from Japan on release 🙁
Love The Sea And The Earth editions are usually not released in the U.S. However, sometimes the G-Shock Soho Store in NYC sells Japan-only releases like this, and they take phone orders, but they are closed until further notice. Perhaps you can get in touch with them through social media.
Does anyone know if they used sustainable materials in making these? It seems like an opportunity to. And how much, if any, of the profits go to ICERC?
