Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V Classic Digital Watch

I just ordered this watch on Amazon for $40.00 USD with super free shipping which will be shipped around 30th of july to August 2nd. This will be my very first g-shock watch, and it has everything that I need for a watch.

I just want to know how long the battery life is for this watch? It uses a CR2016 lithium battery which is estimated to last to about 2 years. Some watch holders say that they have had this watch for over 10+ years without having to change the battery?

I am also planning to rig this watch to use negative colors so it would turn out to look similar to this below. Check the second image.

 

I used to own a casio G-shock, and if I recall correctly, the battery did last almost 3 years. It wasn't exactly the same watch though.

I've since switched to analog watches too, they look better.

Edit: I guess it'll probably last longer using negative colours.

 

I've owned multiple watches including g-shocks in the past and battery life never really was a problem for me. Only one or two ran out during my lifetime.

But wouldn't it be different if the colors were inverted? I mean, that looks like a serious power hoarder.

 

sorry but it could not impress me..

 

Really? It looks like it'll take more power to invert it, making it more black

OP didn't make this thread to impress people.

 

No, you pretty much is using a polarized film and putting it in the watch making it black. haha
