Thanks for showing how the light works on each model. That was my favourite feature as a kid. For the 5000U I actually dislike how the light isn't uniform and is mostly on the left side.

Same. I have the basic 5600 and a Solar/MB6 6900 instead of a 5610 to complement the trio with 5000U. Rubber band, JDM, and caseback are the main reasons to pay ~$250 for one over half of It on 5610U. Also I bet QC is FAR superior on 5000U - my watch lost 1.5 seconds in almost 2 months after MB6 adjust.

I have my 5600e for around 7 years now, this was my first g-shock, as a careless school-going student, this has been the go-to-watch for me. love it, a very classic watch, just for the mere-purpose of time-keeping. Loved your video as well, really put me back to appreciate my wearable! ❤

Over the years my G-Shock square collection has grown, arguably more than it should have but they are all different. For me my joint favourite squares are firstly my 5610, the solar non Bluetooth model that I've worn many times in inclement conditions but really bonded with during hospital surgeries as it's not recommended to take high value items into hospital, it's a super accurate at a glance readable watch with the multi band 6 and is very, very tough but looks like a $10 watch. Secondly I love my GMW-B5000 long discontinued black titanium model with the positive display. As you say this one flies under the radar as it looks just like any resin case square apart from the gold pushers and screws. I wore this a lot during my after care following surgeries. I love it because it does not shout expensive. The STN display looks great under the sapphire crystal but arguably is not quite as clear as its mineral crystal covered siblings but it is very close. I'm also a fan of the full metal variations with the STN display, yes they are heavy and can get scratched but elevate the wearing for a more versatile look that can be dressed up (if a G-Shock can be dressy) more versatile to wear from the single tool watch vibe. There always seems to be space for another G-Shock. Many thanks for sharing.

I'm one of the fanatical g-shock collectors. I have squares from the first 4 tiers you mentioned...including the TVA and TCM titanium models. I can't bring myself to spend the money for the MR-G, even though it's beautiful. The all-titanium models I have are enough for me as far as top-tier g-shock squares go. I agree with you, the GMW-B5000D probably has the best bang for the buck in terms of quality and features. One that's close behind though is the GW-5000U (which, btw, is only 74 grams on the stock strap). But even the DW-5600E provides tremendous value. I got one some years back for only about $30 on sale. Yours is a really great review, concise, yet full of useful information and video. Thank you!

My favorite Casio G-Shock is the Rangeman, specifically the murdered-out GW9400-1B for work and the green GW9400-3 for outdoor pursuits. I call the GW9400-3 the “Ammo Can” due to its chunkiness and it’s green color way with yellow accents; all of which reminds me of a U.S. military ammo can. Both of my Rangemans (or are they Rangemen) have been equipped with strap adaptors that allow the use of NATO and Zulu straps. Being solar-powered, the Rangeman is quipped with radio-controlled timekeeping, altimeter, barometer, and compass (not to mention the stopwatch, timer, and world time functions). It’s my choice for an outdoor, do-it-all, digital wristwatch.

Great overview, and a very quality video, congrats! However I think there is a tear that was left out witch could represent more of a bang for a buck. More specifically the he-5600 series, that offers better value as it has basically the same module as the steel models, but a better price point. And for me at least, that is better. I own the steel model, but currently selling it, for the reasons you have mentioned in the video. But my go to g shock, also my favorite one is the GW-B5600MG-1ER with the v1 combi bracelet, positive display and all the features that the MRG and others offer for a fraction of price, and it truly can stand a beating. Keep up the good work!

I personally find the GW-M5610 to be the sweet spot in the G-Shock Square range. It’s a great balance of price and features. My heart likes the DW-5000 with its steel core, but I can live with the plastic core, and I fitted the DW-5000 softer resin strap to my 5610. Perfect for me. Maybe I’ll upgrade to the GMW-B5000, but that will be later.

what is meant by "steel core"? the case? or is there some steel inside the "heart" of the watch? tbh, i would get the 5610 and buy some mods for it. the MR-T is sexy as fuck, but i will not wear a 4k watch everywhere i go, which completely destroys the purpose of this things. this is meant to be used! not meant to wear on sundays only like the heritage brands!

On rougher days (motorcycle holidays or in swimming pool) i wear the 5610 or 5600. Also have the gold FM and composite but you cannot adjust the band on the go with those. Big problem when its either very hot/cold or when exercising.

So $100 or below for me, the savings account is still aimed at a Cartier Santos or JLC Reverso😁

I have a B5000TVA that I bought at retail for 1300€ and I love it. In my mind I can justify the price tag since it's a pretty well made and rare watch nowadays and it goes for more than 2000€ in the secondary market if you can find one for sale. But I must say paying over 1000€ for a g-shock is crazy. Paying over 4000€ is pure madness.

💯 I, too, wondered about the notable omission of the 5610. I was gonna "graduate" to one on Black Friday, but decided to go with the venerable GW500U1JF. Although I do really like, the red line frame of the 5610, the steel core + caseback and the stealthy yet high-contrast face (👀 at you, negative displays models) really spoke to me. I'm a big fan of the square so I will not rule out a 5610 to round out the collection at some point 🤷🏼

Thanks for sharing, great stuff 🤗 I picked up both TVA's and Both Color Camouflage Watches as well as an Oceanic Natural Titanium Color Watch. I only wear Titanium because it does not give me allergies or affect my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I really Can't justify paying 4k for a Mr G when it looks exactly like a $300-2k watch. Now the TVA and Camouflage watches you can tell its something different. I also never picked up the know Stealth Wealth all black Titanium because it looks to ordinary to a $100 G shock. I do have a few Rubber strap watches as well, like the Carbon Fiber Edition, and that is super light at 44 grams. I am Really Stuck on Titanium The TVB and TVA has really put the dagger on my collecting G-Shocks and keeping me in line with there Titanium like alike models.

Having a difficult time convincing myself the Apple Watch Ultra is worth the money but would splash the cash for a higher end G-Shock. Perhaps a feeling a nostalgia weighs my decision. A terrific G-Shock with a good functions to value ratio is the GW-9400. I have a preference for five buttons over four though on appearance alone, the four button squares do look cleaner.

I have a decent collection of squares from the DW5200 'Hero' up to the GWMB5000 series. Some of the most important features to me are: 5 alarms, longer EL backlight (3-4 seconds, not 1.5 seconds like GW5000/GWM5610), AUTO-REPEAT countdown timer (included in DW5600/DW50XX anniversary), and louder tone "beep" sound on alarm and signal (DW5600/DW50XX, GWB5600). No square G-Shock has all of my preferences, so I need at least two: DW5035D anniversary and GMW-B5000GD-9 'bling-master' complement each other well and have the lasting appeal of being steel case w/screwback.

As many watch enthusiasts I own too many Casio, I've actually been wearing the square Gorillaz featured at the beginning of your clip, all over the weekend in Paris, sleeves up with confidence since it's a really comfy and cool piece for the price, which I would not be afraid to see taken away from me, unlike my other luxury pieces I'd be terrified to wear in the same crowd; But here is the point, if the sweet spot, my sweet spot regarding Casio would be max about 200€ because it's what it's worth in term of design and making, and Casio is making fabulous mass production products in this price range, but then I'm struggling to see the value in 2000-4000$ Casio when comparing to excellent automatic watches with a "soul", like let's say a Longines Spirit (titanium) or an Ultra-Chron, lately a Tudor Ranger that I don't like, but still a COSC with some character, or a gorgeous Tudor BB Chronometer and so on and on... So yes, I know, I'm comparing apples with pears here, but still, $2000 or $4000 for a Casio, no matter how it's strong and how it shines, I just see it as an overpriced nice and funny gadget, I like it because it's decadent, but I won't put my money on it.

My favorite is the square line undoubtedly. The regular GMW steel are spectacular and I loved them, then got the TVA the king of the 5000 line which I love the most currently and a notch above the regular metal line up, even though I generally dislike titanium amongst the metals. I love a heavy watch. Yet I can clearly see the difference in quality on the TVA. It’s built superior in every aspect possible. For people who are used to handling watches, they can immediately see the finish and execution of all details as being a carefully done to bring out luxury that matches or exceeds the heavy price tag. I have an MRG Square waiting to arrive so that will be an experience I can speak about after actually handling the watch and comparing it to TVA. Yet I am quite sure from this exceptional review covering very detail and doing the tough job of carefully, logically and realistically comparing different squares in a very pragmatic manner, that I am in for a pleasant surprise and upgrade in finish and quality from even my TVA. It shows clearly on the video. I have chosen the Silver one as that the color way I am missing in my squares so far, as well as I think it will be a good pair along with the TVA already being all matte black. So as of now on the wrist the TVA is my favorite in Titanium and the Silver Steel Recrystallized is my favorite in steel. Thank you again for a top review. This is hands down the best Gshock square range review I have seen in a very long time. Keep up the good work. I love all your reviews.

It has transformed from a matte black to a fine gloss over the years only requiring a replacement of the strap once. I don’t utilize the triple sensor often enough. Confident a square will get the job done.

The DW5600e, G5600UE and GWM5610U are all perfectly fine Square G-Shocks. The included straps for me are perfectly fine since I don't feel them on my wrist. But more importantly these affordable G-Shocks are watches that can be used and enjoyed for their original purpose. The expensive G-Shocks don't hold up to the watches original purpose. Sure they won't break easily but my God $2K and 4K for a tool watch? Definitely not a tool watch at that price. That's a watch you buy if you can afford it. It's watch you buy for the look and status not for its functionality or durability. You'd be an idiot to use a 2k or 4k watch like a tool watch.

Agreed. I have a GWB5600BC-1BER and love it. It has everything. It's a watch you put on without thinking b/c you know it'll always have power and be on time thanks to the solar and auto-sync. Plus, since it's all black, you can wear it in almost any situation or dress. The ONLY issue I have is the legibility of the dial. The auto-backlight helps a ton, but sometimes it's not convenient to tilt your wrist and it's unreadable. Someday I may replace the module w/ a positive display GWB5600.

I have the GMW-B5000G-1ER (bought it about 2 years ago for 300 Euros in Romania). It's like the full stainless steel one you showed in this video, but with a few differences: it is lighter because it has a resin band, and it also has a DLC treatment with a gray ion plated bezel which should be more durable than the regular model. It also has the positive display, which was a must-have for me. I bought this variant mainly because the resin band wraps around my 6.5 inch wrist better than the metal bracelet with those fixed first links that are attached to the case. I'm really happy with it, but of course the MR-G is on a totally different level. However, it's too expensive for a digital watch.

As a fan of the original DW-5000C redline crystal, I'm waiting on what Casio will give us for the 40th Anniversary. I really want a Titanium GW-B5000 or even a "regular" GW-5000U with the original Redline crystal as found on the current GW-M5610. The brickwall crystal of the GW-B5kG-1ER was the ONLY reason I bought one over the GW-5k, would rather have a stainless cased Square with a resin bezel just like the original. The one "teir" that I think you may have overlooked are the hard to find DW-5000's which use the DW-5600 module but in the original Stainless Steel screwback case.

Anyway i appreciate the fact casio still produces the old good and ''cheap'' models so i m not against if the company can earn money :)

Considering that in terms of funcionality there is really not much going on past the $100 mark, the main difference is pretty much aesthetic. Which definitely has a value but it is very subjective. So in terms of pure performance, looks and functionality, the basic DW5600 is unbeatable. You get the design, you get 80% of the functions of the most expensive one, you get the durability and it is comfortable. And with a little extra you can pick up the version with bluetooth and radio control, if you care about it and get to 100%. So all the others are mainly collector's item, which again it it important and it has a valure but in terms of pure"value for money" the curve is definitely decreasing by progressing in the line.

I got the heavy $500 model in gold because I figured I'll never be flashy enough for a all gold watch but if it's gonna be fake gold I didn't want it to be a gawdy Bulova. Hence the choice for the heavy all gold model and it feels nice enough with a nice 14k shade of gold, not 24k. Blacked out reverse display makes the gold pop even more. You can see the contrast in the brushed parts and the polished much better 'cause gold. I do wish it was lighter though.

I own the GW-M5610BC-1JF it’s a negative display that comes on an OEM bracelet. I really wanted the bracelet but I wasn’t thrilled with the negative display so I switched it to a positive display myself and have loved it ever since. Mine has the led backlight and the auto light, so I felt that was a big improvement over my DW5610. For $4k I would expect the watch to have a HAQ movement where it didn’t rely on atomic time. It’s nice though!

I have had made in Japan, 5610 on combi bracelet, then not so long time ago I bought 5610 and modded it with a black coated titanium case and bracelet from well known Chinese platform, I have to admit it's much tougher than I thought it would be and wears really well, looks great too. Recently I bought GMWB5000TVB-1ER and aiming at a steel one too, so I guess I am a square fanboy? I am not going to spend 3600 gbp on MRG, at least not yet :) I might do some more modded combinations as there are a lot of options.
