One of its big strengths is its expansive catalog of colorway options, ranging from mild to wild (like the recent Sith-like black-and-red drop). However, the latest version, the G-Shock DW5600WW-7, is unique in that its colorway makes it perhaps the most minimalist in the entire lineup. What sets this particular G-Shock apart is its complete and utter lack of color. This is about as pale as any of the brand's watches have ever been. Over the course of the 5600 Series' history, there have been other white versions (including this currently available one). Still, they usually have a pop of color or stylistic flourish somewhere. By comparison, this one is almost entirely devoid of even a speck of contrast, if not for its silver pushers, buckle and gray dial lettering. Of course, it still has the watch's signature display with its gray background and black digits, letters and icons. Still, G-Shock's simply don't get more minimalist than this one. Of course, importantly, it is still a G-Shock — meaning it boasts at least the brand's signature baseline capabilities. If you're wondering if this watch's absurdly low price means it compromises its abilities, don't. It still has the G-Shock name, and the brand stands by its offerings. Like its siblings, this watch has a durable resin case (with a bio-based resin bezel) and an integrated rubber strap. It also boasts the brand's signature shock-proof housing, which can take a serious beating and keep right on ticking. It also has mineral glass, a Super Illuminator LED backlight (with Afterglow), simple pusher operation of its onboard features and more. Oh yeah, those onboard features include a multi-functional stopwatch, a timer, a full-auto calendar, multiple alarms and more — you know, G-Shock stuff. It ain't fancy, but it gets the job done again and again and again … The G-Shock DW5600WW-7 digital watch is now available on the brand's site for $99. $99 at G-Shock
