Casio GW-BX5600 and GBD-200: "MIP" dot matrix display pixel counts
Good evening.
My understanding is that the "MIP" displays of some modern Casio digital watches, such as the GW-BX5600 and the GBD-200, are actually dot matrix displays.
But what are the pixel counts of these two display models?
Having looked at a high-resolution photo of the GBD-200 that I found online, it appears to me like the horizontal pixel count is in the order of 180 pixels.

- The GBD‑200’s MIP display is 176×176 pixels, which is close to your estimate.
- Other models:
- * GBD‑200: 176×176
- * GBD‑100: 128×128
- * GBD‑H1000: 240×240
- * DW‑H5600: 240×240
- * GBD‑H2000: 240×240
- MIP technology is improving, and newer models tend to have denser, higher‑resolution displays. But the pace is slow because the market is niche and the main user‑facing benefit is extreme battery life, not visual fidelity. ~2026-91009-6 (talk) 12:13, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Awesome, thank you.
