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.

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 !

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

Lots of people on ebay were selling these lower end models but claiming they were g-shocks.

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.

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.

They are hand-wind mechanical, with stopwatch features-but they are not scratch resistant, not water resistant, not shock resistant, and being mechanical they do drift off time after several days. The Speedmaster is no comparison to a G-Shock. Today, NASA and the US military mostly uses G-Shocks.

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."

Hey man, thanks for the video. I noticed that the A button is more recessed than the other buttons. Is this normal or is the A button in this model somewhat stuck in its socket? Thanks
@JustBlueFish6 жыл бұрын
That button is more recessed so as to not accidentally actuate it since it is the one that changes the time and other settings.

Thanks for your video! It is an excellent "visual" user's manual. Also, kudos on the "analog" micrometer! This model is a classic while the other G-Shocks border on the obscene!
@TheMasonator7773 жыл бұрын
The only G-shocks I like are the squares, DW-5900s (or GW-5000) and the classic DW-6900s. Anything else doesn’t look like a G-shock to me.

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_gamingxx38911 ай бұрын
1) around 3 years, could be more

It doesn't hurt the watch using the functions under water. I own one. Ive set my watch underwater. Battery life is about 5 6 yrs.

Back in the 80s as kids we were dazzled by those faux-graphic dial shit. Those were so cool. Apart from nostalgia though, these are pretty useless and just clutter the screen, wasting energy. I love the utilitarian look of the DW5600E, even with the excessive text on it. I still prefer my F91W most of the time though.

Mine is out for delivery! Talking about the tilt light my Casio Pro Trek has it I have it shut off I can't stand it every time I move, tilt the light comes on. Bugs the heck out of me. My G Shock square I don't think it's needed but I also ordered the screen protector and just for fun the wire protector...

Question? Does this G-Shock come in gray and black? I swear that in '88 I had a gray one. Now, my watch looks black. Same model, pretty much-DW-5600E. Love this G-Shock. I've had one for 32 years. I think this is my 3rd one.
@Simple50056 жыл бұрын
Are the buttons difficult to press? They look like they might be. I was thinking about getting one of these watches but I would need to use the stop watch feature often, requiring me to press buttons.
@JustBlueFish6 жыл бұрын
Not really. The top left button is a little more recessed than the rest, as that's the button you used to set the time, so you don't accidentally press it. But the rest are easy to use in my opinion.

I love this watch. The only, ONLY problem I have is that I wish the time display was just a tad larger. Also, I think I had the non G shock version of this watch when I was kid in the mid 80's into the early 90's. It may have been the original one. I'm not really sure. I'm old now and can't remember.

They need to update their displays. They are way too dark with low contrast. Timex Ironman has displays with far better contrast. Casio seems to be stuck in the 80's. Also, the light doesn't stay on when you scroll through the functions at night, which is a flaw.
