Casio G-SHOCK G-LIDE GWX-5700 Quick Review

This is the first time I bought a G-LIDE watch, which is normally marketed to surfers. In many ways this G-Shock GWX-5700CS-1 shares my favorite functions and features of G-Shock Squares. It has Tough Solar (to automatically charge the battery through exposure to everyday lighting), Multiband 6 (to automatically set itself to the correct "atomic time" and maintain accuracy as long as radio reception is good), 20-Bar or 200 Meter water resistance, five alarms (one of which is a snooze alarm), an hourly signal, a one-hour stopwatch, a power save mode and an electro-luminescent backlight with an automatic option. But it also has a unique, dual-interval, repeating countdown timer along with a Tide Graph and a Moon Phase indicator. This model can also show what the Tide and Moon will be doing on future dates.
This watch uses Module 3215, which is the same module used in the GWX-5600 models. The negative LCD version of this module is listed as Module 3222 and has all of the same functions for the negative LCD variations of GWX-5600 and GWX-5700 G-Shocks. The first watches to use these modules were introduced in the year 2010 and the most recent version was released in 2021.

Wife: "Are you looking at more Casios on Amazon?" Me: "But Honey, Greg just made a new video!"

This is a nice one, multi band 6 makes it a winner!

Always a pleasure for me when you take the time to make a video.

Very nice watch. I wonder if you make a vídeo about all your 10 years battery Casio . I only buy the 10 years battery models. Best regards from Brazil, Mário.

I love these watches and Casio but I find I rarely use any of the special options, maybe I have too many watches after awhile I forget how to change the time, etc. I've settled on Casio Analog watches, you pull the crown, set the watch and you're done, do I really need a radio controlled watch? I don't think my life is that exact, a few seconds a month, that's fine, if it's off pull the crown - you're done and they're a lot cheaper. Just because technology exists doesn't make it better - it's a watch, tell me the time, go swimming with it, charge it from the sun - I'm happy. Maybe that's just me, I work in several mathematical bases with several different programming languages - keep the rest of my life as simple as possible.

Yeah just depends what you do. If you don't go near the shore the tide chart probably isn't too helpful!

[@SuperMrgentleman]

Timer is nice for HIIT exercises, haven't seen that on another Casio

Gotta change your channel name to Casio king. Curious though, you should ck out seiko

[@TheShotenZenjin]

those buttons too small and finicky to press with 100 percent reliabilty, a problem for many gshock owners with these kinds of buttons
