The Casio G-Shock DW5600 is the quintessential G-Shock model. The Casio G-Shock DW9052 is a competitively priced option. These two G-Shock watches feature nearly identical features and functionality but differ in design, style, and aesthetics. Today we are going to compare these two models and I'll tell you which I prefer.

I bought my 9052 when I was oyster farming. from freezing cold to boiling hot it has never missed a beat. constantly submersed in salt water, knocked about every day and dragged across barnacles yet still looks and performs the same as when I first took it out the box. I strongly recommend it because I KNOW it it is a workman's watch built to last :-)

I have the DW9052....I've had the watch for about six or seven years. The original battery still works, it's been very reliable & is my pick.

[@JustBlueFish]

Jim Rylander it's definitely a quality G-Shock but I love the retro styling of the 5600. Either way good choice.

I just bought one yesterday for daily use and I have another g shock but it cost me a lot of money great choice.

[@user-xp3po8wu7u]

I bought one about a month ago and was wondering if I could use it for edc. How has yours held up such as the strap and battery life? I also have the GD-350 and a DW5600 and can't decide which one will last the longest.

[@bodie463]

I use the scale during my work outs. I have 44 G Shocks & theDw9052 is on of my favourites

[@zhenghe5270]

I have both the DW5600 which used by NASA astronauts and the DW9052 which is used by the US Navy SEAL. I personally like the DW9052 better. The rubber strap if the DW9052 feels smoother and less irritable of the skin. Its thicker which means that its less prone to scratch. My DW5600 has been scratched which makes it less legible, but not the DW9052. The DW9052 is also more pliable which means you can fold the straps together and just slide it in your pocket should you need to remove them for whatever reason. The DW5600 has more stiff and less pliable straps, especially where the straps meet the watch's body.

[@jake3419]

Personally I like the DW 9052

[@andyjd5849]

Just today my brother gives me the gshock DW 9052-VHM1 in red and black color,its Fucking AWESOME!!!!

[@rickyporter6450]

Yes, it does look better but I could do without the seconds counter. I would wear either one but I just bought the DW 9052 with the red lettering... no real gripes.

[@altini7]

I have DW5600 for more than 3 years. Still looks and works as new. I ordered DW9052 for 30€. I always liked simple G Shocks.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching

[@montre-moi]

simple g-shocks are the best.

[@ronrussell5676]

The strap on the 5600 is attached to the case without a pivot in order to provide impact protection for the back if the watch ever happens to fall strap down. Because the strap cannot move out of the way, the strap will flex and absorb the impact rather than the back of the watch striking the ground. On the 9052, the strap CAN pivot out of the way, and the back of the watch CAN strike the ground, so the grey bumpers are added to absorb impact. It amounts to different ways of accomplishing the same goal (protect the back of the watch from impact). Some reviewers feel that the 9052 system fits people with small wrists better, because the pivoting strap can "hug" the wrist more closely. I own two of the 5600 variants (the GW5000 and the GMW-B5000), as well as the DW-6900m and all of them have the 5600 style non-pivoting strap connection. They all work fine on my 7 inch wrist.

[@looseunit1615]

The DW9052 design with the big buttons were intended for use with gloves. As they're not expensive I would buy both.

[@SandShark350]

I just bought the 9052 in blue and yellow and I love it. It's the same watch my dad had for my entire childhood and still has. I almost bought the 5600 however I already have a Casio World Time in green and black plastic with a nylon strap. 10-year battery and I've had it maybe 6 years. It is phenomenal, lightweight, comfortable, and the same form factor as the 5600.

[@redaxis7900]

The 9052 "bars" is called shock absorber and is important for protect the case back

[@sci-figuy6668]

I bought both of these watches on clearance at Target. $25 for the 5600 & $15 for the 9052. A helluva deal for 2 G’s!

[@entertainme7523]

They do that because the batteries are weak from people holding them and pressing all the buttons every day

[@entertainme7523]

Also, people touch them after using the bathroom or picking their nose (no hand washing)

It's hard to beat a G Shock. I know the DW5600 has been around the longest, but still my favorite.

[@JustBlueFish]

5600 is still my favorite as well.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I love the Dw 9052 and DW 6900!

[@JustBlueFish]

Both nice choices. I think I'll always be a square G-Shock guy but I can appreciate them all. Thanks for watching.

[@bkstarkey]

The 9052 has those plastic bars underneath because the watch lays flat. The curve in the 5600 is part of the g shock protection as well. Keeps it springy.

[@seanpollard4844]

I like the square for digital and the round case for analog versions. Nice comparison. I have a analog and digital tough solar combo with the ads800wh and really like it.

[@JustBlueFish]

Ya the round case works well for the analog G-Shock models. Totally agree.

[@user-xp3po8wu7u]

I have both. I do like the 9052 but you are right in my opinion. The 5600 is so much more practical. No graphs that take away useful space making it more legible. It's the shape of the 9052 that caught my eye. The dw6900 is one of my favorites too...again, the three eyes take up useful space. I'm with you on if I had to choose only one, I'd go with the 5600. Just glad I don't have to choose only one. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Waiting for pods at Amazon, I have something to 'watch' while waiting. These two are the only two I own. I love them both. Something visually to watch is a nice distraction. I wear 9052 to work. 5600 for off days. Love the durability. Thanks for the review.

[@DanSaso]

[@handcuppo569]

Well.. i used to have the G-Shock dw 9052 when i was a 11 y.o (2007).., and İ will buy that again next month.. i like the strap that makes me able to put in bag that has narrow compartment, the easy access light button, and its really durable and reliable, and indeed comfortable on my wrist..

[@edwinmondragon3762]

G shock does a good job of preventing a direct drop on the steel back. This is huge in a shop when you may take it off and set it on an uneven surface to reach into a piece of equipment and risk knocking it onto a concrete floor.

[@rayemanuel7460]

Just purchased a DW 5600-E IV from Amazon a few days ago for $40. Love it, so far! I was looking for a simple yet durable watch that can take a beating. I think I've found it in this watch

[@matt4398]

never got into the 5600, reminds me of a soccer coach from the 80's. Always thoughts the buttons were crooked looking and hard to use as well.

[@JustBlueFish]

That's funny. I have to admit though, I'm a child of the 80s and that's why a lot of these Casio watches appeal to me, I think. One of these days I'll get the calculator Casio watch for some 80s nostalgia.

[@coryames1170]

I own 3 G Shocks atm: 9052, 5600BB and the 6900.

I have both. I like the design of the 5600, but love having a 5th button for the light. So at best I'm torn, lol.

[@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup]

Protip for the 9052, remove the bumpers (they are attached with small screws and it does not effect the water seal). Once you remove them, it minimizes the spacial imprint of the 9052 and gives it a very unique look.

[@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup]

If you can imagine it without them, it gives it the appearance of a skull and crossbones. The over all appearance is very much an example of second kind of cool. I very much want to buy the blacked out version of the 5600

[@LeroyCReed]

[@user-xp3po8wu7u]

The graph is pretty much in the way of leaving space for more legible numbers. It's seems to be eye candy that I don't need.

[@christopherh2352]

I just bought a 9052 today for $15 at Walmart. It didn't have a box and came with a nylon strap instead of a resin one.

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

id say like this: dw 5600 is smaller, much cleaner display and bigger digits (still too small for the size of the watchface), which i find a big plus (i like the dw 5750 design more, btw, which uses the same module, just different bezel). finding the display on the dw 6600 the best from the classic g´s, btw. cons= quite hard to press and small pushers. i replaced the "reset"- pusher on mine with a usual pusher, which is longer. the watch is with the standard pushers more or less only useable as a "time looking instrument", not so much as a watch to change often between modes and adjusting timers, etc. (almost) impossible to use with gloves. the old dw 5600c had way better to access pushers. pushers on the dw 9052 are better, still... if compared to, for example, a gw 9400 or a pro-trek model like a prw 3000, they are bad and uncomfortable to press, feel a lot outdated. yet they are safe to not being pressed by accident. id say, the gw 9400 has the best pushers i know of, they are a dream. liking the light-pusher on the dw 9052. quite useful, if no auto-illuminator is in the module. id sum it up like this: if its about more elegant, more lightweight style and very mostly time-looking only, id choose the dw 5600. if about user comfort and often use of all modes, id choose the dw 9052.

[@rakshitri]

@justbluefish : I recently bought DW5600 (square watch) for its low profile and uber utility score. Also it holds the legacy of original DW5000 the original G shock by Ibe. Sometimes classic looks more agile and sophisticated then polished plastic chunks! 😃

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching enjoy your Gshock. It’s definitely excellent.

[@kennnethbrown7582]

Nice very nice watches Casio G-Shock 9052 and 5600 I have both of them

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

the box being a simple carboard box is a good thing imo, you are paying for the watch itself not for the box, i don´t find a fancy box to be useful and i don´t care for it. plus the dw 9052 comes on a plastic stand that you did not mention, those are really useful if you have solar models or want to keep them on a shelf

[@bmw320540750]

Excellent comparison

[@2nd_a_dad4791]

I’ve got a 9052, my first G, and the 5600 is next on the list. As I’ve gotten more interested in watches in general and specifically Casios, I think the 52 would be far better without the seconds counters in the middle, and larger main and date windows.

[@devilefan]

I have both of these watches and I love them both... however I do agree that the 9052 dial set up is not my preference....I also have the 5610 and that one is awesome...not to mention very much like the 5600

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

the mudman looks doable for smaller wrists. i normally walk right past the big tacky G Shocks because i didn't know they made smaller more adult looking G Shocks until i came across videos of them on here! i ran out to target to buy that square G and i love it!! im buying the gwm5610bc next week because it looks so sweet and you never have to mess with it because its solar and atomic! set it and forget it!! i was a watch snob for years and would only buy high end pieces. don't get me wrong i love them but im much happier buying these cheap watches that i don't worry about. earlier this year i was robbed at gunpoint for one of my Rolex's and it changed me, i hate wearing my nice watches now so i keep them locked up but i still want to wear watches so the answer was Casio, Seiko, Citizen

[@JustBlueFish]

Sorry to hear about your Rolex robbery. That sucks. But I wear my Square G-Shock a lot and I love it. I'm getting a 5610 soon as well, I've hinted a bit so hopefully for Christmas but if not I'll just buy one after. I'm looking forward to the atomic time keeping and solar power cell. Thanks for watching!

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

thanks, even with wearing expensive watches you forget what your wearing after wearing them long enough. i noticed the guy looking at me in the mall but i did't think anything about it really other than he was creepy. caught me out in the parking lot before i got to my car and was like thats a nice watch, points gun at me and says do you want to die tonight? the feeling of helplessness still makes me sick to this day when i think about it. lazy people that want to take from the hard working people, im not rich, i saved for months put in so much overtime for that watch just for someone to take it for themselves. i hope it never happens to you man

[@barreltech8949]

Sorry to hear about that, some people suck. I wear my g shock not only because it’s bulletproof and dead on accurate, but because I don’t like drawing attention to myself, so a shiny watch day to day won’t work for me

[@mlmperez1114]

I have a handful of Casios (gw5610, dw5600ms, dw5600bb, GA2100bb, GA2100, glx5600b, G9000). I can say they get more wrist time then my others to include my iwatch

[@summerspinecenter]

Great review. I guess if you want visual clarity, the 5600 is super clear to read. Also if you are wearing a shirt where the cuffs are buttoned, the slimmer 5600 would be more comfortable. However I have the 9052 and personally I like the bulk of the watch. To me it looks way more substantial when wearing a t shirt. Also I have pretty big wrists and the 5600 looks tiny on me. One thing I will say is that the 9052 tends to roll up on my wrist and I have to frequently adjust it so it lies flat. That can be mildly annoying

[@JustBlueFish]

I gave the 9052 to a buddy and he loves it. He's an electrician and spends a lot of time on his boat and he thinks it's perfect. I like the 5600 a bit more, it tends to be more comfortable and it's fairly low profile, for a G-Shock. Both are great, as are pretty much all of the G-Shock watches, and luckily there's a lot of options to find the perfect one.

[@rickyporter6450]

I have the DW9052, I can't stand the bar meter. It's a really good watch as far as quality. I'm going to get the 5600 because I also like it. Right now I trade out between the DW 9052 and the Timex Ironman Y5K198 that I modified with a 1500 series Casio strap. It looks pretty cool. The more I look at the squares the more I like them. Of course the G Shocks are better quality than Timex but I like the Ironman because of nostalgia. I'm one of those that likes both. Great review, thank you.

[@DF-ih5wl]

I just realize that dw9052 is a dw9050 with less features. The bezel looks the same. 9050 has an one piece nylon resin watch band like zulu watch band. The bars at the back are used to hold watch band.

[@Liberty-rn4wy]

I have both. I like the 5600 overall more but the buttons on the 9052 are much easier to use.

[@nafizrashid5365]

What is the band size of the 9052

[@RobertNES816]

If the 9052 didn't have that seconds scale I think it would be a more legible watch. The numbers could be so much bigger like you said. Also the 9052 could use support wings like the GD-350 has which keeps the watch centered on your wrist. When I had my 9052 I noticed it would often sit towards the top of my wrist.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Robert. The 9052 is a decent G-Shock but for my personal tastes I still prefer the square G's. I haven't tried a GD-350 yet, I'll have to check those out.

[@themidcentrist]

Out of all of my watches (I have lots of Casios), my DW5600 is my favorite with the F-91W a close second. I have smaller wrists which makes it the best fitting G-Shock for me personally. It has everything I need and nothing that I don't, being purely functional without anything added just because it "looks cool." I appreciate the classic old school design, and I added a set of bull bars which look great on this watch. The buttons admittedly aren't the most comfortable to use but I don't use them very often anyway. I find it isn't terribly accurate for a digital watch but I can live with adjusting it every few months. I was thinking about getting a DW9052 but it seems more bulky and I don't think I would like the big plastic lugs sticking out as was mentioned in the review. If I do get another G-Shock it would probably be a variant of the DW5600 with atomic time.

[@mugiwaratrii4545]

I have the DW9052 in the regular colorway and black and gold colorway. I'm waiting before I get the dw5610. It'll be aa negative display dw5610 with multiband 6 and tough solar. I love these watches. The engineers at Casio are true engineers. True engineers are creators that create something great, then make it affordable for everybody. I work with my hands a whole lot, and it's in water throughout the day. The dw9052 is a perfect daily driver lol. I don't have to worry about it getting damaged. And it keeps the correct time so well.

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews yea, both of these are about the same size which makes them great for smaller wrist. After watching this review, I might just stick with my 5600 since they do the same thing

[@JustBlueFish]

I just upgraded my 5600 to the GWM5610. Same basic watch, but it's solar powered, does atomic time sync, has a world time mode, and several more alarm options. I wanted something with atomic sync that I can use as a reference to set all my automatic watches to.

Tony Goode The 9052 is okay. Its kinda stubby looking on the wrist.

[@jeffw1267]

They both have awfully small numerals for such big watches. But for the price they are still great.

[@MarcioSantos-oj2ne]

qual dos dois vc prefere amigo?🇧🇷

[@greenjihad3390]

My choice would be the DW-5600. In terms of the screen for the 9052 or even the 5600, a good choice would be to use military time so a watch owner knows if it is morning or afternoon/evening. While the 9052 is less legible than the 5600, perhaps an interesting review would be to compare the 5600 to the DW-290, the Mission Impossible watch. It seems like they have slight differences, but legibility is the same but the 290 has more accessible buttons. Except, the 290 is not a G-Shock but is pretty close.

Hi! I just bought the DW9052. I would like to ask, I wanted to change the time format to 24HS oe military, pressing the Adjust button, seconds selected and then the G button but makes no change. The display shows 24HS but again, the time 12HS format. Might the watch be faulty? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

[@ScottJones-fj6hq]

Probably because if it's before 1 p.m., military time is the same as standard time. For example noon would read 12:00 in either format. However 1 p.m. would be 13:00 in military time.

[@black79montecarlo123]

Both of these watches are amazing. Actually, any G-shock is awesome.

The original casio gsoch design was a great first. 5600. They had been all solders Gould used at the time. Wearing gloves of any sort, wearing a 5600. So, as the old saying goes. Necessity is the mother of invention. The 9052 was designed specifically to keep the soldiers in mind. While wearing gloves, can you navigate the different features. According to Google. The 9052 was only as old as 2012.

I have a 6.5 inches wrist and In my opinion DW 9052 wears much better than DW 5600. Just purchased mine yesterday and I tried both at the local dealer. The issue I had with DW 5600 is the lug to lug distance. Although its roughly the same, the curved bracelet on DW 5600 makes it appear that lug to lug is bigger than it actually is so when I take a look at it from the top it kinda makes my arm look like a cross since the bracelet is protruding over the edges of my wrist and the fact that DW 5600 is more narrow than DW 9052 makes it even worse, literally like some sort of a thick rubber band on my wrist. In the other hand, neither the lugs or the bband on DW 9052 are sticking out, I guess due to the band design. Anyways, both watches are great and best value for money.

[@user-xp3po8wu7u]

I had the same problem. I somehow got the idea to tighten the band all the way to the very last hole, ( not while wearing it of course) I let it sit in a drawer for 3 days. After 3 days I took it out and put it on to the most comfortable spot and the excess over hang was gone. It reshaped it and the overhang was gone. Give it a try, I think you will like it and maybe it will become your favorite. Thanks for sharing.

i have them both

Newbie here. I'm splurging on my third G and I went for the expensive upgrade Japan DW5000-1jf solar. I get the simple clean look lower profile thing so I'm putting my money there. Yet a Rangeman is coming too. lol This is addictive. Cheers

[@JustBlueFish]

Congrats on the solar gshock I hope you enjoy it. I'd like to check out the rangeman too it looks interesting. Let me know what you think of it when you get one.

[@roadwary56]

I sure will, thanks.

[@KudoYoung]

bought the 9052. 15:25 is my only complaint with them. They appear to be a cheap plastic you'd take off, rather its designed this way...

[@JustBlueFish]

ya it’s a lot of extra material and bulk, and it doesn’t look great.

[@EverydayJ1786]

I agree . The grey color make them look super cheap . I opted for the 9052gbx which makes those pieces black . Doesn't look as bad imo

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

I too prefer the square watch🤙😁

[@alexandresuassuna8368]
