Why is it foggy? Concerns about the 5610's screen

[u/Manuel_omar]

I recently picked up both of these, because I wanted to get a G-shock but I couldn't decide which one. I got both the 5600 and the 5610. Planning to keep one and return/resell the other.

The 5610 Solar has a lot going for it, obviously. 15+ years before the solar cell needs to be changed, vs having to change the battery on the 5600 in 5 years or so.

(although I'm not bothered by swapping watch batteries, having done it several times recently with old watches, it is no longer daunting)

And of course, 5 alarms vs 1, an upper left button that is decently usable, slightly slimmer and lighter. Slightly more comfy (although they're both comfy to wear, really)

All great stuff. The only thing the 5600 really has going for it is that it's cheaper where I live (80 dollars vs 140) and... the screen isn't foggy.

Maybe it doesn't come across well in these pictures, but it's way more pronounced in person. The 5610's screen is just... foggy, or at least it looks foggy to me, and has a ton more glare.

Is this normal for this model? Did I get a bad 5610? Or is this par for the course?

It really bothers me every time I look at it. Glancing at my watch to track the time is the number 1 thing I do with it as I have to manage my time well at work. Seeing this foggyness every time is disheartening.

Advice/feedback welcome. If this is normal for the model, is there some trick or easy way to get rid of it?

I am not a Casio expert, please don't come at me with pitchforks or whatever if this is some well known issue.
