Casio Middle East has announced the launch of the latest in their G-LIDE G-Shock range of sports watches. These watches are set to debut at Casio points of sale across the UAE.

The GLX-5600 is inspired by the spirit of the indomitable surfer and comes complete with Tide Graph, an essential function for active surfers.

At home on the high seas as well as the city streets, the contemporary GLX-5600 comes with a slim and comfortable look and in four contemporary colours.

'The GLX-5600 is designed as a tribute to the spirit of surfing and extreme sports,' said Tsuneo Nagai, Managing Director, Casio Middle East. 'Made for the benefit of those who love the exhilaration and adrenalin rush of extreme water sports, this new watch is an exciting new option for sportslovers in the region.'
