PROMOTION MOVIE
FEATURE 1
Heart rate measurements for the active life
Equipped with an optical sensor for measuring heart rate on the case back. Uses LED light to measure changes in blood flow to track heart rate. Also includes an accelerometer to count steps. For even greater accuracy of distance measurement, just pair with a smartphone and its GPS will adjust the data captured by the watch’s accelerometer.
FEATURE 2
Compact octagonal design: Comfortable size for active use
The iconic octagonal form of the original G-SHOCK is delivered in a size that makes for a comfortable fit on the wrist by reducing the battery size and slimming the memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD, even while incorporating the new optical sensor. The DW-H5600MB and DW-H5600EX come with either black or blue IP applied to the metal bezel for a look of luxe refinement.

FEATURE 3
Attention to materials: Bio-based resin
Key resin components used in the case, bezel, and band are made with bio-based resin. Produced using renewable organic resources, this material is expected to help reduce environmental impact. Recycled materials are used for the packaging, as well.

FEATURE 6
Watch mode for managing daily health
The watch mode helps manage health by measuring heart rate and keeping track of daily steps and physical activity. Also measures blood oxygen levels.
Life log
Uses accelerometer data to analyze movement and distinguish between such movements as walking, running, biking, other activity, and standing still. Use the life log data records to understand how active you are each day.
Breathing exercises
Follow the animated display to maintain a steady rhythm of deep breathing. Provides feedback on relaxation effect after breathing exercises, but during as well. Relaxes the mind and body to help you deal with stress.
Blood oxygen level measurement
The optical heart rate sensor tracks the level of oxygen taken into the blood. This data can be used to manage daily health and adjust exercise load.
* The blood oxygen level measurement function is not intended for use in diagnosing illness or as a medical device. It is intended only for use in maintaining general health.
