Watch Geek unboxes the sold out G-Shock DW-6640RE-1

The limited DW-6640RE-1 has been selling out everywhere but has not been released in the U.S. yet.

G-Shock enthusiast Watch Geek just posted a new unboxing video on YouTube of the highly anticipated G-Shock DW-6640RE-1 40th Anniversary edition, the first revival model of the popular DW-6600 series that originally ran from 1994 to 2010. The DW-6640RE-1 appears to be the most popular 40th Anniversary limited edition so far.

While examining the watch, he discusses various topics such as bezel compatibility with the DW-6900, his personal history with the DW-6600, differences from the original DW-6600, and the various functions of the watch. He also tests the LED backlight which has a red 40th Anniversary logo.

What stands out in the video is that the imprinted and debossed list of significant years and models has a subtle look to it, which looks better than if it had been printed. It doesn’t seem too distracting or too apparent from a distance, and it adds a unique touch to the watch, along with the other 40th Anniversary embellishments. We like how Casio decided to keep it simple with this model and the rest of the Remaster Black Series. One aspect that fans might not like is the cardboard “G” case, which does not appear to be very durable, but at least it’s relatively eco-friendly.

Watch Geek is also planning to do a more in-depth review of the DW-6640RE-1 soon.

(The DW-6640RE-1ER was released in Europe but is now sold out at Casio.com. The DW6640RE-1 is expected to be coming to the United States soon.)
