The Casio G-Shock DW5600E is the quintessential G-Shock model. In my opinion the DW5600 is the perfect Casio G-Shock, offering great affordability and durability, 200m water resistance, Casio's excellent Electro Luminescence Backlight and timer and stopwatch functionality. At a price under $50 the Casio G-Shock DW5600E is my go to digital quartz beater watch.

You only need one watch to wear... DW 5600E is the only watch you gonna need for a lifetime. My DW 5600E is 16 years old now. I bought it during Basic Training in the Army. Took it to South Korea. Took it to Iraq. Took it to Afghanistan. After 8 yrs of active service, 2x Battery changes, and 3 times strap changes, it is still going strong. I think it is going to outlive me. Now, I wear it as a Nurse. I see most of my coworkers wear apple watches... I earn more than they do but I will never exchange this wristwatch for any smartwatch. I prioritize toughness, reliability, and longevity. I have a few version designs of G-Shocks but this one is still my favorite. It's my everyday beater watch.

[@skaterwangz]

Wow. This is crazy. Respect to you bro.

[@7khon731]

Great story and great watch. I just got this watch and I'm in my early 20s. Hope to keep mine for as long as you did and can't wait to see the wear over time

[@brando8115]

Save some pussy for the rest of us! But seriously, I appreciate that review

[@Mike-kc8rl]

The DW 5600e is a classic for sure! In its own way, as good as the DW 5600c before! The only thing you need to be careful of is when you change the battery is not to over torque the screws when closing the back plate? It's a common mistake and I have had a couple of used ones with one or two stripped threads !

[@juliodiaz4493]

Wow 16 years I love your story with the watch ⌚️ ❤️ I purchased the watch ⌚️ today love too here his potential I'm ready for my story with the watch ⌚️ 😀

[@WatchGeek]

Excellent and enjoyable to watch review of a classic! The crystal is mineral, as you said. The battery life is MINIMUM 2 years, if you don't use all the functions every day, or if you rotate it with other watches in your collection, the battery life will SIGNIFICANTLY increase. I have a DW5000SL a 25th anniversary model from 2008. It has the same 1545 module and it's still on its original battery, so 9 years, and still going strong. A fun fact about 1545 vs. 3229 is that it's not only the calendar that is different, the 3229 has a little spring to touch the speaker which you can lose if you are not careful while changing battery. The 1545 doesn't have it, instead it has a little part of the contact pads bent to touch the speaker so you can't lose anything when changing the battery making it more robust 😊

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

How's the time keeping? BTW, I just ordered the GW-5000 from Seiya. My first G-Shock.

[@kesfitzgerald1084]

This was my first digital watch. Took an absolute hammering with daily, hard use and still it lasted the best part of a decade. Great value and I must say still best looking of the G-Shocks. Good video. Thank you.

[@JustBlueFish]

Do you still have it? And thanks for watching.

[@WatchGeek]

Actually g shocks feature double gaskets so even when you press a button, the water resistance is kept, and in the past Casio used to say it's OK to operate the buttons on their 200m watches, but they later changed it in their booklets

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and the info.

[@totallyfrozen]

I thought that just applied to the Frogman models, but not every model.

[@Theplacetobe1984]

Got my first G-SHOCK while enlisted in the marines it did its job well. So today I still ware my G-SHOCK minus the war

[@MarkStark-dx9dm]

This is my only G-shock and I love that watch. Very nice review of one of the world's greatest beaters.

[@timothy8142]

I own a few Timex watches. I recently bought the Casio F91W and that is by far my favorite watch so far. It's got this great 80's look to it, great function. It simply works and does the job. Definitely thinking about picking up this G-Shock DW5600. The countdown feature is a great add-on, something that the F91W doesn't have. I love cheap watches. I'll take a cheap Timex or Casio against an expensive brand any day of the week.

[@WatchGeek]

The AUTO REPEAT timer is one of the more useful functions for me, if you ever had to take antibiotics or have a kid, you will find it very useful 😊

[@JustBlueFish]

I've found some uses for the auto repeat timer the longer I've had it. It can be a convenient feature.

[@deanjelbertaustria6174]

[@loditghe4007]

A watch for simple !? Lmao kid . Try f91 f94 and tell what is called "simple "

[@childrolland]

Much cleaner design. Most of the other g-shocks look like (checking dictionary... not native English speaker, sorry) water-meters.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

Love the clean design! I got what you were saying

[@ghibliinu6616]

Understood perfectly and agree!

[@stephenhagen234]

Yes, and they hit into things more easily.

[@childrolland]

@@stephenhagen234 I have several other models of Gs - solar; more flashy one; stealthy one, but DW-5600 remains as my allrounder favorite that do the real job - everything you want and nothing you do not want.

[@ronbisti4352]

I almost went down the rabbit hole of mechanical watches but I never owned one. I thought to really appreciate a watch it had to be expensive but then I started to think of the watches I had as a kid; they were always Casio. They are sophisticated in their own way and have their place in the history of watchmaking. Beyond replacing the strap and battery they are maintenance free. They are tough, reliable and enjoyable. I have a couple Nautica steel watches when I need something nicer, I wear my Apple Watch also which I find convenient for texts when I’m running around but I like to end the day with my 5600. It just brings a smile to my face. Great review. Oh right now you can get these for $38. Crazy value.

[@wildmikefilms]

38 bucks? I paid twice that for mine

[@JJPelszynski]

I’ve abused my DW5600 for over 12yrs and recently added an AE1200 Royal to the watch box. Super cool old school vibes and the predictably tough! My mechanical dive watches are great but definitely Not everyday beaters.

[@atatkfighter]

I was debating between the DW5600 vs GWM5610. I ended up getting the cheaper one because I wasn't sure if I would end up liking a digital watch vs all my analogs, but boy was I wrong. I've been wearing my DW5600 almost everyday, with casual or business clothes. Just love this old-school, lightweight, cool looking watch!

[@JustBlueFish]

I love my 5600.

[@stephonjames1038]

Me too. I like the face of this watch more than the 5610. Love the price too.

[@bradleypariah]

Just picked up one of these used on eBay for $15. Get this, it was so cheap because it's *_dirty._* Of all things. Sheesh. LOL Luckily for me, we have running water in our house, and I'm going to be able to "restore" this poor, abused item that the world turned its back on. It'll be my second G-Shock, and I'm really looking forward to it getting here.

[@chr1s60]

Another well done review. You consistently make detailed and organized reviews that rarely feel as long as they actually are. I've never been a fan of G Shock, but I understand they have their place in the watch world.

[@JustBlueFish]

chr1s60 thanks for watching and the complaint. G-Shock definitely isn't for everyone but if I was only going to own one for a digital beater watch this would be it.

[@tdrusk]

This video was really good. Had to explain to my fiancé that I was watching a 30 minute review of a Casio watch 😂

I have a black g shock Casioak but I used a F91W for years at work but It got crushed the other day by a car. I used to strap it round my handle bars on my motorcycle. I didn't strap it correctly and it was lost. I will replace with this watch. Great review 👍

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

3 of these on my wrist since the late 80s. I got my one while I was still in the Army. Seriously, the greatest watch ever if you never want to worry about it, never take it off, and dont care if you beat on it. (Me!) I broke a seiko diver, broke a field watch supposedly made for the infantry... went back to the PX and got this one... I cant imagine not having it. One if them got about 13 years on a battery... another got around 10. The one now I got in 2014...still going strong.

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

I miss the PX’s not gonna lie. When I used to be a kid in an army family. I guess now it’s called the exchange. Been trying to get a job in the exchange’s for months now to get my soul back on the base as I did as a kid.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

[@Blue0000FF]

Wow!! What a longevity.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

@@Blue0000FF the only thing is now at 55, I can't read the numbers that clearly without my readers, lol. There is definitely an analog version in my future, lol.

[@stephenhagen234]

Just ordered one of these online as I have been looking at my Casio G2900 G-Shock for the last 21 years and it still functions like the first day I wore it. Yes, I did replace the battery a couple of times as well as the wristband but that’s it. I periodically clean the case and band (off the watch) with Dawn dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush to get all the gunk out of those crevices and grooves and pockets designed in for aesthetics and durability. You cannot go wrong with Casio watches. Also keep in mind, the thicker the case, the more likely it will make physical contact with other objects and show the resulting wear and tear.

[@frankgerace5997]

Huge G shock fan here..I now own 5 of them, including the blacked-out “stealth” versions of the DW5600 and DWD5500, and the standard version of the GWM-5610..my other 2 are round models, and I like them all, but I do agree that the square ones have “cleaner” dials, generally.

[@fargone--2945]

My dw5600e model 1545 has red and white lettering, red octagonal outline, red marker for mode, adjust, and light, and red lettering on the rubber cover for PROTECTION and G-SHOCK. On the caseback the G-SHOCK in the middle of the letter G is engraved. Made in Thailand. I have owned it for more than 15 years. Everything still works. I just changed the battery.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

This helped me figure out my gshock thats been away in a jewelers shop with a broken strap for 5 years. Thanks!

[@TerryHesticles]

Were you able to get it back? lol

[@anonym_b3058]

The top left button Is recessed so you don’t accidentally push it and change the time

[@Frumious_Jabberwocky]

Aha but it also serves for zeroing the stopwatch. On my issue the button won't press without a tool at all. I'd prefer it to use press-and-hold to enter settings menu. And to do something else when simple pressed. Theres a lot to improve in hypothetic 5600 v2.0, but Casio doesn't seem to follow that path.

[@harrylane4]

This would be fine if it weren't used for the stopwatch and timer features. They probably could have shifted that function to the light button, but alas, we're going on 40 years now, I don't think it's gonna be changing lol

[@sci-figuy6668]

I just picked one up at target for half-price at $24.95! I couldn’t believe it when I saw this gem at that price point! I needed this classic G to add to my collection. I love resin straps!

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Make sure it says gshock on the bezel. Casio also makes an economy model that looks identical but just says "water resistant" where the G-shock should be. The economy model is still pretty good, but it is closer to a normal watch. The g-shock is significantly more durable. Lots of people on ebay were selling these lower end models but claiming they were g-shocks.

[@sci-figuy6668]

Dave Smith -Yes it says G-Shock on the bezel 👍. I got an even better deal on a Casio Duro “Marlin”. I bought the new gold & black version for $10 at wal-mart. Certain wal marts are doing away with their jewelry counters & are clearance selling all the watches.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@@sci-figuy6668 Nice, that's a great find.

[@RobertKarlBerta]

I have had one of these every since they first came out and no problems. It was getting a bit scratched up from hard abuse but everything worked fine. Battery needed replacement so decided to treat myself to the identical model G Shock. Just picked one up a day ago at Walmart. I have much more expensive watches but this one is the one that always gives accurage time, has a light for use at night, and all the most needed info easily seen day or night. Buttons never get stuck unlike a couple of other expensive chronometers I have that need servicing every once in a while. The G-shocks...just set and forget them. Note Casio does make a nearly identical watch with same features for about 33% of the cost. They don't say G shock so while they may be OK...they won't have the military certification for durability and less effective water resistance. The G shock is good for 200 meters whereas the others are around 50 meters or less. Are they water proof....they say water resistant, however, I swim with mine in a pool all the time. Just make sure you don't operate the buttons under water and they are fine. If you do change the battery though make sure the rubber o ring is installed correctly to avoid a leak....might be worth having a certified Casio shop do it if you are nervous about it. But I did change the battery out myself once and no leaks.

[@ClearBrookExotics]

About to add one to my collection of automatics and mechanicals. I love the ruggedness, water resistance, and accuracy of the G. Not to mention, you get the Day of the week, the Month AND the Date.

[@evhvariac2]

Excellent review. I’ve ordered one and looking forward to receiving it this week. I prefer this case size in the winter because it fits under my shirt sleeve/jacket easier. In the summer I wear the thicker casios. Also I prefer setting the time as opposed to atomic. I actually enjoy setting the time. Again, great review

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and enjoy the GShock. Everyone should have this watch.

[@jamesejudy3]

Great G-shock, I wore a classic digital G-shock like this while in the military for multiple duty stations, schools and deployments, saw some pretty rough conditions, plenty of dirt, dust, mud & body fluids and it held up just fine. Had nicer Seiko & Citizen dive watches but I usually wore the G-shock and it was all the watch I needed. In fact, I just bought another, the DW5600E. The strap on the new watch is slightly softer but it sure feels the same.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching. Did your gshock ever glass ever get ruined while on active duty or did that hold up too? That seems like it’s the only possible weak point, but I don’t abuse mine hard to really test how well it’ll hold up?

[@jamesejudy3]

JustBlueFish a spark from a smoke grenade hit the face and marred the surface slightly, not much more than a tiny white dimple. Didn't affect anything but cosmetics.

[@ronch550]

The DW-5600 is one of the best-looking G-Shock models, with that squarish design and no-nonsense, purely digital timekeeping, but I don't like how the LCD display kinda feels incomplete because the day display only displays the first two letters of the day. So I got the GX-56BB-1 that's heavily based on the DW-5600 while looking bigger and tougher, and more importantly, has a complete-looking display. It really looks the business and is likely even tougher than the DW-5600.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I haven't seen that GX-56BB-1 before, that's a nice alternative to the 5600 if you don't mind spending a few more bucks. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronch550]

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews check it out dude. It's earned the name 'King of G-Shock' on the internet and has been included in several articles that lists some of the toughest G-Shock models. And it doesn't look too gaudy like so many G-Shock models do. It's also fully electronic so there are no moving parts, which helps with shock resistance. Oh and it's mud resistant too!! Really tough little bugger.

One of the things I love about Casio watches is the fact that the buttons are so recessed.... because of the way I wear my watch.... which is right on the bend ... I tend to accidentally push the buttons and depending on how the watch is set up it starts a timer or Will go into time set up and is very annoying especially when you go to look at the time and it's flashing or a countdown has started....so i like the recessed buttons a lot....no matter how much I bend my hand back I can't push in the buttons....and this is the first watch I've never had that problem with

Vassilis Petropoulos thanks for watching and the comments. Is the 5600 BB the model that is all blacked out with the negative display, or something else?

[@bv2225]

JustBlueFish yep! Thats the one. I ve had no probs with legibility and its a bit different so...

[@JustBlueFish]

Cool enjoy the gshock, they're great little watches. I love mine.

[@bv2225]

JustBlueFish yes me too. Keep up the good work! Your vids are great!

[@williamgreeter1855]

[@JustBlueFish]

[@JustBlueFish]

[@zamSEG]

[@JustBlueFish]

[@zamSEG]

your welcome sir, thank you for your quick reply.

[@xMADCx]

I also bought this one because of his review, unfortunatelly I could not use the amazon's shop as I'm brazilian, but the review made me buy for sure.

[@JustBlueFish]

Glad my video was helpful Ciro.

[@xMADCx]

Thank you for that, it seems a great watch!! keep the good work!!

[@w116]

I have just bought the very same model, but it came in a fancy metal case!

[@rickyporter6450]

Great review, I have the square and the DW9052. I really don't know why I have both, I think one or the other will last me to the end of my road. Like I said, great review and tutorial. Thanks.

[@FolksingerFitness]

A thorough review, thanks.

[@valueink]

Mine is made in Thailand. Purchased July, 2019.

[@Daud76]

Ah! The land of smiles. Mine is the original stainless steel screw back version and fully made in the land of the rising sun. Japan. 😄

[@3lectronic0]

[@MarioRafaelM]

Let me be a little snobish. "The horological heritage of this brand is superb and the quality of the material is a space watch probably the only watch you need. A Chronograph, Perpetual Calendar, Hourly Chime."

[@SuperTrainStationH]

The synthetic band references traditional wrist mounted timepiece vocabulary.

[@jkwyx8290]

great review! too bad casio did away with dual time for the basic 5600 but it still has more than enough useful features. great looking g.

[@JustBlueFish]

Josephus Bilbao thanks for watching and the comments I appreciate it. I don't personally have a need dual time but I can see how some users would want that functionality.

[@mikemike5253]

this is THE LEGEND g-shock!!! nice hamilton automatic btw i have mechanical :)

[@voiceofexperience]

Stone-Cold Classic!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@bigfootsburneraccount9160]

Just got mine and its favorite

[@priyamganguly]

I have two questions with regard to this watch: 1) How long does the battery last in general? 2) Does it have a vibrator that vibrates when the alarm plays?

[@xxsilver_gamingxx389]

1) around 3 years, could be more

[@WhisperExtreme]

I love casio's!!

[@JustBlueFish]

They're awesome, thanks for watching.

[@adwnpinoy]

Auto repeat countdown is good for HIIT work outs

[@justintraupel9468]

Thank you for trying it on

[@Khartoum29]

also something interesting its used for space mission lanches because of its acuracey

[@JustBlueFish]

I have heard that is true.

[@arnaldo_bittencourt]

Always wanted to know which watch is the best? Well, there you have it!

[@barrywade8303]

Great video, I going to buy the 5600. Thanks

[@JustBlueFish]

Good choices.

[@VVK108]

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews the display of my 5600 is a bit dull when viewed upfront but when u tilt it north the digits turn deep black, its not the case with F91W tho mine is just 2 months old

[@VVK108]
