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 😊

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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!!

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.

I like the solar with multiband six.... Decided to pay a little extra for those features... To me is the ultimate watch I wear the most... Usually I was just a seiko collector.... Now I'm adding more of these g shocks to my collection.... Different variations of the 5610....can't believe I never had one of these before... Stunning quality and features.... I wouldn't change the strap unless it breaks.. But can't see that happening for many years.... Thanks for your review

I bought this watch back in 1994 when I first looked Keane Reeves wear it on “Speed” movie . Since then I bought so many other watches , Casio , G shock , Seiko , Cityzen , Tag Heuer , Camel Trophy … DW has perfect size , perfect weight and fits perfect on my wrist . I don’t know why but DW has a special place in my heart . Maybe because it has the power to bring me back all those memories from my childhood . That’s why i have three of them , wrapped in their boxes , just in case …. By the way , nice review ♠️

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

I have an Omega Speedmaster. Mine was purchased new before I was born by my father in 1967. Omega is still banking on the NASA history to promote that model and charge a premium. They’re expensive. 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.

That button is more recessed so as to not accidentally actuate it since it is the one that changes the time and other settings.

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.

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.

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.
