Casio<\/a> has launched the G-Shock DW-5900UBB-1 and DW-5900U-1 in the UK, making its updated DW-5900 digital watches more widely available. Both models originally debuted in Japan in January 2026 and serve as refreshed versions of the DW-5900BB-1 and DW-5900-1 introduced in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watches are now sold through Casio\u2019s official UK online store for \u00a380 each, with free delivery in two to four working days. Casio has also suggested they will arrive at its London retail store, though in-store availability has yet to be fully confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than changing the design, the DW-5900U series focuses on internal upgrades. Both models adopt the newer 3536 module, replacing the older 3465 module, and switch from an electroluminescent backlight to a high-brightness LED. These updates improve efficiency and extend the rated battery life from five years to ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of appearance, the DW-5900U-1 closely follows the classic style, with a black resin case, red and blue accents, and a light background display. The DW-5900UBB-1 opts for a cleaner look, featuring an all-black matte finish and a dark display with no colored highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both versions retain the signature DW-5900 layout, with three digital graph indicators at the top of the dial and a larger main display below. Core features remain unchanged, including world time, a countdown timer, a 1\/100-second stopwatch, and support for up to five daily alarms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
