The A El illumination is perfect! I don't like the led light that is too powerfull just in one corner.. Overbright.. Not even lighting.. . Same led problem in rangeman also. Sadly. So I like/prefer the old model! I really advice to all who really love this retro Casio watches to buy them brand new and keep them all!; because they will dissappear soon enough from the market and than you will be sorry because you won't be able to find them anymore!

I can't believe they didn't fix the polarization issue which makes the dial illegible from the left angle, whilst being perfectly clear from the right. It's perfectly visible here at 0:00 the left watch vs the right. This has always been my number one pet peeve with 5610.

Hi, if they don't get the signal, being radio controlled doesn't matter. There's no "RCVD" icon displayed in the upper left corner on any of them, so the haven't been synced. They have to sit close to a vindow, without any obstruction, in order to receive the signal. In my experience, if they are right next to an electronic device (like a monitor), they don't get the signal, even if being right next to a window. But others might have different experiences of course.

@@tommasodepalma1945 I think they try after midnight, and try multiple times hourly (assuming you have sync on). Typically mine show a sync time like 12:04, 1:05, 3:05, etc. Typically if the sun is out, they won't sync, even if you manually force them to try.
