Resin G-Shocks feel smaller on wrist due to their weight than their size might indicate. Also might have something to do with how the bands connect to the watch. For instance, on my GD-350, there are a couple of wings underneath than ease the transition of the big watch body over the edges of the wrist.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 7:20 am I appreciate all the suggestions for reasonably-sized Gs. I like the size of the GW2310, although not sure about the stiff strap. Casioak is an option although I had something digital in mind. I'm in no rush but I may look to pick up a cheap 5700 to see how it fits. Or maybe I'll opt for something bigger afterall......and loud and flashy.
The two things that size matters on is wearing one under a long sleeve shirt or jacket, and just general looks. I feel like you kind of get a bit of a pass on the looks thing because G-Shock. The shirt thing is a legit concern in winter.
Just for reference on your flirtation with the 5700. Here is the bezel compatibility chart showing which bezels will work on which base model watch/module. You could theoretically buy a $5 5700 bezel replacement for your DW-5600 and have what appears to be a DW-5700. Or I could take my GWX-5700 round bezel and put it on my GW-B5600, etc.
I post that to not tell you just to buy a bezel, just to tell you that if you like the 5700 shape, don't worry about its size. If you like your 5600, I don't know why you wouldn't like the size of the 5700. Heaven forbid me to advise someone not to buy another G-Shock
