Reverse LCD added to the stealth mission theme of the design, and the EL backlight ensure easy reading in dark condition. This G-Shock is has the same hall mark reliability and durability.
As of this summer of 2011, the manufacturing of this watch has changed from Thailand to China. The module has also been updated. The casing steel back is now using the classic design (photo here shows the previous design that is more common among other G-Shock. I plan to include the new photo soon.).
