        Bit of color on the band would make a difference… I was first SHOCKed and wondered if my iPhone screen is damaged because of missing color…

  There's a reason watch bands aren't normally white.

  It shows every bit of dirt, and little scratches on the surface go darker than the rest. Horrible colour choice in a watch.

  I'm going to go against the grain here and say that colour variant actually looks appealing to me.
  If you were surfing with this it would be pretty damn visible in the water if it ever came off your wrist, as opposed to a black/dark-coloured watch.

  I've had a couple of all-white G-Shock models before and I didn't find they actually got noticeably more dirty/scuffed or worn-looking than my black/dark-coloured resin watches.

    Plus white is much more closely associated with surf and beach culture. You don't see many matte blacks being used by SLSA clubs or equipment. It's a special edition, if you don't want it in white just get a standard GLX5600
