G-SHOCK DW-6600

Add to compare

The DW-6600 was launched in 1994 and was the first G-Shock watch equipped with a front light button and the EL backlight which illuminates the entire background of the LCD display with a blue-green hue for easy viewing in the dark. It was discontinued in 2010 but revived in 2023 for the G-Shock 40th Anniversary. The new DW-6600 has a white LED backlight and improved battery life of approximately 5 years, and it shares the same functions as the current DW-6900. Along with its iconic case shape that was adopted by the streetwear-favorite DW-6900, the DW-6600 is notable for being the first G-Shock to be used by U.S. Navy SEALs.
