When I was on deployment in the Navy, I had lost my cheap Timex watch and needed something else. My ship stopped in Guantanamo Bay in 2012 and I had the opportunity to go to the base store and look for a watch. There I found a Casio DW-5600W, the blacked-out reverse screen version, and bought it right away. This was long before I knew anything about watches, long before I discovered your channel, long before I had any fine watches of any kind or even a collection. I've been using the 5600W ever since. It will always be the original watch in my collection, the first one I ever got. It's endlessly reliable, completely indestructible, and it's been with me on deployments and skirmishes literally all over the world. Thanks for giving this watch its due exaltation, TGV.

[@DovahKiiiiiin]

When I was a kid and I went to visit family in Bangladesh, my uncle who used to be in the military over there, was adamant that I should wear a watch. He loved casio watches and introduced me to them. I wanted the 5600, but my wrists were too small. So I got the closest looking model that fit, the f-91. I was young and careless so I ended up losing it. This became somewhat of a ritual because we did the same thing each time I went for a visit. The last time we went watch shopping was 12 years ago, sadly he's no longer alive. My wrists have gotten bigger and I finally own a 5610. I love wearing this watch, it's badass and it reminds me of him. Rest in peace Kalou.

[@adnankader226]

Dovahkin FTW same here. Served military in Bangladesh. Salute to you Khalue

May your khalu rest in peace. My first watch was a tiny Casio digital in 1983 when I was 7, as a birthday present in Bangladesh. About 34 years later I finally got my next Casio, an F91w.

Great video. I just brought a g5600 ue model (Tough Solar Edition) from the Amazon India website after my galaxy watch 3 stopped working a couple of days ago. So much for the 'smart watch' features and durability. I was secretly glad that it stopped working. The need to charge it wireless every day and the up-keep of myriad notifications took a significant toll on me. 5600 rugged models are reminiscent of every 90s kid's dream of owning a digital Casio. After watching this video, I'm so glad that I brought this with one-fifth the price of my previous watch.

Good appreciation of the sheer quality of a G-Shock. Got my first one when working on North Sea oil platform in the 80s. Prior to the G-Shock I bought a new cheap digital watch almost every trip, it broke within two weeks. Once I got the G-Shock I never had to replace it again.

[@krispynachos9980]

I've had this watch for 10 years and still works. Only changed battery once. Absolute beast of a watch.

[@ArianrhodTalon]

I wanted a G-Shock simply as a 'must-have' for my watch collection (alongside the legendary Casio F-91W). I only realised I picked out a DW5600 after making payment. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with my decision.

[@EvilUnderTone]

I brought my DW5600 with the 901 module in 1989 whilst on holiday in Florida. It was $90 I think. I wore it every day as a mechanic and car bodywork specialist. It's been run over by numerous vehicles, lost in the garden for a year, submerged in oil and acids. I've even used it as my dive watch and had it on my wrist for years in all weathers travelling into London by motorbike. I made a video of me throwing it higher than my house and chucking it full bore at a pebble dashed brick wall! That was to prove a point and put my money where my mouth is. Got a fair bit of verbal for that one lol I only replaced the 'original' battery in 2013. So that is 24 years on it's first battery. It is now up to year 7 on it's second battery! Honestly I'm now a watchmaker specialising in vintage watch restoration and preservation and I still wear my DW5600 a lot of the time. With me until the day I die! and beyond!! If you want a watch that you can trust your life with get a G-Shock.

[@SuicideJones]

[@edouble98]

I’ve owned 4 G Shocks in my life the first being in the 90s. Although I still have the older 3 I never wear them because they smell. With that being said, I recently purchased a dw5600 for $43 bucks and I have to say that for my first “square” I am definitely excited to wear this for about a decade or so as my almost everyday watch.

[@Chrishagen]

Stick them in the washing machine. Or let them soak in antiseptic solution and water for a few hours. Should cure the smell.

I have been wearing a Gshock since I was a kid (I’m now 41). I think the battery on my first one lasted so long I never thought it was going to die.

I currently wear the DW-300 version with the large font display for the time and atomic time keeping. Absolutely love it.

I know the base model Casio G-Shocks were about the only watch we were allowed to have in basic training back when I was in the Army. They took us all over to the Post Exchange in groups if we wanted to buy one. It was many years ago but I don't remember them costing much more than $20 then. It served me quite well through basic and the rest of my time in uniform. The Catalina looks spectacular on that NATO strap! Very sharp and classy. Thanks for the great video and Happy Thanksgiving!

that is something the army loves.. the new parts are made of better plastic and will probably last even longer..

[@pdavda86]

I bought myself a Casio DW-5600BB-1ER after watching this video and I absolutely love it! Great beater watch and a reasonably sized G-Shock for my wrist.

[@Nightdiver20]

Always good to see Hugo in the background. Watching. Judging. I got the multi band 6 solar version of this watch. Absolutely love it.

[@Satsui_No_Hado]

This is my first 5600 based off of your recommendations and reviews the minute I put it on my wrist. I realize I'm a watchware now. Thank you 🙏 incredibly comfortable. Functionable and durable watch

[@NeapoliScience]

Your intros are fenomenal! And also your reviews!

[@TXmedic95]

And An EMT/firefighter and paramedic student, I love my GA-800. And the digi features but still have a second hand for taking vitals. Been on my wrist though working fires, car wrecks, bad trauma calls and never missed a beat

[@koen8844]

Your intro's are legendary! Save the Explorer😅! The best current G-Shocks are the DW5600's. It's my beater-dive-space-going-military-work watch. As a matter of fact, I'm wearing mine right now👍. I would like to add a DW5025d to my collection. Looking forward to the next one, Regards, Koen

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, so glad to hear it my g-shock brother! Off to look at the DW5025d, very nice indeed. Thank you Koen, Best regards, TGV

[@viljatorvinen7193]

I have had few G-shocks but this year I found the master piece - GD350 (negative digits)

[@captoinrexx]

Totally agree on what you are saying. I absolutely love my G Shock GW-5610! Definitely the most resistant piece my collection. P.s. To all of those that own this G Shock or a similar model: Take a look at the combi bracelet. It's an amazing upgrade to your watch.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you sir, Right, off to check out this bracelet! :D Best regards, TGV

[@captoinrexx]

@@theurbangentry You're welcome. :) If you enjoy wearing your G Shock, the upgrade to the combi bracelet might be worth it. In comparison to the 'stock bracelet' it feels like you are wearing another piece in my opinion. P.s. Thank you for your answer and keep up the great work! Greetings Kai

[@markthibault8579]

I would like to try the new combi bracelet that comes with the new GWB5600BC-1B. Hopefully they offer it as a separate piece you can buy.

[@TheSH1N1GAM1]

I found your channel because I just ordered my first G-Shock and I’ve been trying to find more info about them. It’s always a design that I’ve been attracted to, so I honestly don’t know why I don’t have one already. I really love your enthusiasm and style! You’ve got another subscriber! Looking forward to more videos about the G-Shock and whatever else you discuss!

[@clo2715]

Just got the GW 5000 1-JF and I love it. It's making me want to sell some of my other watches.

[@3lectronic0]

$265 on Amazon, an expensive master piece...

[@bitterboar]

Just ordered my Casio 5600 G Shock. My second purchase as a newbie watch enthusiast. Can’t wait to get it as I need a tough watch for my outdoor adventures.

[@AlexanderLopez-tw6zk]

The intro made me laugh so much😂😂😂 Where's my Squale? 😂😂

[@dichi3163]

I own a 80€ g-shock which has 20bar water resistance and a tide graph on the dial. It works like a charm and is indeed indestructable. The value you get for that price is amazing!

[@anthonyjack2300]

good to know if im run over by a truck my watch will be fine

[@kenschiavo191]

i laughed aloud on that

[@eliotsalandybrown]

You are a great communicator and your Informative, relaxed videos are a delight to watch

[@justinknott34]

Gold, absolute gold. The best intro to the show ever well done TGV.

[@tylernelson7995]

I just got this watch this month after always wanting the watch Keanu wore in the movie Speed. (One of my faves growing up) This 5600E-1V is the closest thing to the 1987 5600C-1V model he wore. Pretty much identical other than the non screw-down case back. Love it!!

[@mitchd1963]

Grab my Explorer! 😂 this is why you sir are my favourite thank you for another great video

[@montruo000000007]

mitch d WHERES MY SQUALEEE!!!

[@jameslo303]

This channel is truly a watch enthusiast creation machine.. So exciting, unpretentious, informative & inclusive. Watching this made me happy for my somewhat hidden love for Casio watches. Under a purely social perspective, they should be acknowledged as the company that really democratised timekeeping, by creating solid, reliable & affordable watches for just about everybody.

[@pyeclam]

I just happened to see this video while the coronavirus quarantine is going on and I had just ordered a DW5600 because I planned to mod it because of Just One More Watch's new video.

[@eaglepointtactical8532]

i have 2 Gs. i have a mudman 9000, and i just purchased a 5610. i love them both. in the near future i plan to get a GW5000. i am totaly in love with the design of the 5000 .

[@b.sharp.]

Truly ahead of his time

[@jsudra]

I own the awg-m100, this watch is awesome for about £99, it’s radio controlled, it’s got traditional dial hands as well as digital display, solar powered so never needs a battery replacement, I’ve now had it for six years and despite wearing it everyday in gym swimming, underwater, other sports it’s never let me down, it still looks like new, I feel this watch will go on for decades to come without any maintenance. Stunning value!

[@diamondbed86]

Love when do less expensive watches. Thanks!

[@bpemsandgroper]

I purchased a G5600E-1 yesterday. Great watch from a wide varied and extensive range. Your review had nothing to do that influenced my decision in buying it. It's the size. It's not bulky on the wrist, and slips under the shirt cuff very easily. Just the right size.

[@SuicideJones]

that is one of the nicest things about the square G-shocks.. they can fit under regular clothes without snagging..

[@40nardi]

I sport a GW-5000 almost every day at work (LE). I like that it retains the subtle looks of the DW-5600 but includes atomic time, solar charging and a world time feature which really comes in handy when you’re traveling to sketchy places and don’t want to draw unwanted attention.

[@TheGreatLoco]

I have the GW-5600E, great watch. Is the one I wear most often of my 8 watches. It never gets scratches, it's stylish, not too big and very comfortable. It's easily the best G-Shock ever made and was around $50. I think I will get the metal G-Shock 5000 too.

[@wizardskills]

Signet ring over the polyurethane gloves, pure class!

[@0dyss3us51]

No one and I repeat NO one makes introes as good as the master himself Sir. TGV! Really good vid!!

[@eazye619]

I laughed so hard at the intro when you started leaving but kept going back for your watches😂😂😂

[@ParaSniper2504]

I knew this 31 years ago! It was a great watch for parachutists and other MOSs in the military. I used it because I knew that it would survive parachute activities and was great when we needed for other uses. The strap would break away and not rip the skin off your hand if caught in rigging within the plane as you exited the plane.

[@SuicideJones]

they're certified for use with chainsaws..

[@GunzGonda]

Couldn’t think of a more reliable and functional watch in my profession. I wear a GX-56BB.

[@myvideos2715]

I own a Casio digital sports watch, MQ-554W. I purchased this particular watch for my dad, while passing through Singapore, just before Christmas in 1985. When he passed away 10 years later, there was the watch in his chest of drawers, still going. I started wearing it for myself. Well, after a number of battery changes over the years, and slightly scratched from being knocked around a bit, it's still working well in 2019, and keeping good time. This is my one watch collection! PS I used to own a G-Shock once. It broke.

[@robbert4550]

"Where's my Squale??" Ahah . Great video as usual.

[@roadtripmovies1087]

haha I agree. thanks to this vid I own a DW5600E, Got the Gshock Mini too but sold it on as did not like the gloss. I also have an earlier all steel /chrome one

[@wonderbreadmodelsandhistor1566]

G9300GB1 Blacked out Mudman with gold accents. I deep 6ed the gold clasp for brushed silver and it’s my favorite of over 10 or 12 casios I own. Big without being obnoxious, lightweight and wears super comfortable. Has a compass and as I live on the outer fringes of society that’s a real bonus. I find I wear it more than my 9400 rangemen
