Welcome to the 4th official episode of The Good Timekeeping Show. The subject today is Casio's G-Shock GW-M5610 watch. This one captures the overall style of Casio's original DW-5000C from the early 1980s, including the red "pin stripe" on the face of the watch. But the inside of the watch is all new, featuring Tough Solar to recharge the internal battery and Multiband 6 to synchronize the time using Atomic Time broadcasts from 6 transmitters around the world.
There are literally dozens of styles of the watches which use Casio's Module number 3159. In this video, I've mainly featured watches which vary only in color. Casio has also offered this module in watches with different case sizes and styles. The GW-M5610 with the red pin stripe is the easiest and least-costly version available in the USA. You can easily find it for less than $100. If you want to purchase the other styles you will likely pay more, up to several hundred dollars! Why? Because you'll probably have to find a retailer from Japan. And I've found many of them through places like eBay and Amazon, so they're not difficult to find. Just be prepared for the higher price.
(Please note that there may be some rare, limited edition models out there or maybe even variations which are discontinued. I'll guess you can still find them for purchase, maybe in used condition, but the prices might be very high.)
Beyond the solar and atomic features on these watches, the other functions are very common for Casio's G-shock lineup. You'll find a stopwatch, countdown timer, 5 alarms (including 1 snooze alarm), an hourly chime and a "World Time" mode to show the time in any time zone you choose besides the "home" time zone you've chosen. And, of course, the G-Shock brand means the watch can really take a punch (with 200 meter water resistance too!).
Casio also produces the DW-5600 in a variety of colors. It looks very similar to the watches in this video. It also has that tough, G-shock protection and sells for a much lower price. However, it lacks the Tough Solar and Multiband 6 features.
In a follow-up video I show more of these radio controlled G-Shock squares in person... • Casio G-Shock Square V...

No five-minute cinematic intro, no contorted faces, manic dialogue & bad jokes, no gongs, farts, & whistles, no sock puppets. Just a guy clearly explaining & demonstrating, in a pleasant voice & with good basic camera work, the attributes, functions, & operation of the watch. This is The Way.

Yep. I didn’t want to do the things that I try to skip when I watch other videos. No “unboxing” either. And I never sell my watches nor do I get any kind of commission when anyone else is selling watches. My general approach is just trying to answer the question: “What is everything I would want to know about this watch before buying it myself?”

Bought the 5610 about 3.5yrs ago. It's been my daily beater ever since has had at least 75% of my wrist time since I got it. This watch to me was great value, it's had an extremely hard life and lots of dings and scrapes on the bezel and strap, yet the mineral crystal is almost pristine. Most criticism of the 5610 seem to be about - 1. The small buttons are fiddly to press. 2. The light only illuminates for 1.5 secs and there's no option to change. 3. In the UK where I live the date is only given in US format and can't be altered. Sometimes people say the time not viewable in the stopwatch, timer etc functions is a bit of a limitation. For me I find my old ear drums just aren't up to the low volume of the alarm, but this is true of all G-shocks, including Master of Gs. In summation, as far as I'm concerned this is the favourite digital watch I've ever owned. It's so durable and reliable I'd be lost without it. It's not so expensive that you can't unleash it as a beater and yet it's still a respectable piece and not seen as cheap by people (that's my take anyway). In the longterm, I'll never be without a G-Shock square, as long as I own a watch.

Yours is the best video review I've found on these. I've just ordered a GW-M5610 and I already know I'll love it. About 11 years ago I got a Casio "Edifice" EQW-700DBJ-1A which is an analog solar "waveceptor", and it's been awesome. Still works perfectly, looks great, and hasn't needed a new battery yet. I really don't _need_ another watch, but I've been wanting a digital and the DW-5600 is so affordable I couldn't say no to myself.

This is a very nice watch. I bought a very similar one at Macy's years ago, for $99. The model number is GW-M5600R. It was a smart purchase; problem was, I had no clue about it... First of all, I didn't even know the watch was solar, so when it started to go dim on me, I thought you needed to shake it. When I shook it, it came back to life. Then shaking didn't work, so I gave it to watch repairer to change the battery. Believe it or no, he did change the battery! On top of it, he screwed up the watch, because it no longer made any sound. Long story short, I had a great level of ignorance towards this watch. I just liked the black/orange livery. Now, I have more appreciation for the watch. And yes, I still have it, it's all fixed, and works beautifully to this day. I might even get a new one from Japan, in black/orange.

@dvamateur
@dvamateur 5 жыл бұрын
@@GoodTimekeeper Yeah, I think the watch repair guy changed the battery to the regular one. Of course, it was cheaper. And the reason the watch didn't make any sound, was because the back was mounted upside down. I put it the correct way up, and bingo, it works. It's been working fine though on regular battery. It never blacks out either. I also had the watch on during some nasty white paint job. Oh my, it took me days to clean that off. Anyway, this Casio had been with me through thick and thin. I really keep it now more for sentimental reasons. I also have a standard DW-5600E that I greatly overpaid for in a fancy store. (I paid $99 while at Macy's it was $49...) And I have a funky red one: GLX-5600 with moon phases. That's all for now. Recently the all metal silver one caught my eye, the GMW-B5000D-1. But the pricing on those seems a bit crazy. I had seen it in Macy's for cool $500. I was very disappointed that none of the Macy's watch discounts applied to it. Now I know why after I saw prices for it on eBay. It obviously immediately sold out at Macy's.

Awesome watches. I got my 5610 like a year ago, the solar battery died in like 2 months, as a daily driver. xD They replaced it under warranty in a week and everything is working perfectly since then. Just a few things to add: 1. In case it's not obvious, the DST auto mode switches DST on and off completely automatically for your home city when necessary, received with the signal 2. You can switch every WT city individually into DST mode manually by pressing and holding the adjust (top left) button 3. Compared to regular battery-powered models, the auto EL function stays on FOREVER if you turn it on. Regular Gs are turning this function off after like 6 hours to preserve battery power. However, due to this watch having solar charging, it can recharge the lost energy pretty much within a day or so. I noticed a bug though: if you go to the display test screen with adjust + mode + set(+), the auto EL turns off. Strange. :D 4. Indeed, if you start a timer the auto receive function is turned off, probably to avoid inconsistencies caused by time mismatch. Figuring this out drove me crazy but I did it on my own. 5. Leaving the watch in complete darkness (drawer) sends the watch in an even deeper sleep. After a week or so more functions are turned off automatically, such as the beeper, illumination, and even the auto receiver function. 6. You can actually kill the battery by leaving the watch for too long in the dark (months), so make sure you expose it to as much light as possible, even if it's artificial (indoor lights are light sources too). I owned many watches in the past few years but this one is just the perfect watch for everyday use. It's rugged, accurate, has a lot of actually useful functions, and what I really like about it that it can work on its own. No smartphone link, no winding, no manual time setting. A really lightweight, fun watch to own. :)

That watch is for me one of the best watches about performance and capability, and its low price. Durable, and tough.

Not sure what's going on but cannot get the atomic timekeeping to work. It hasn't synced since 11.1. Any advice?

Hi Greg, Just want to say thanks for the best & most thorough review of GW-M5610-1ER. I bought t'she same watch a couple of weeks ago & I am impressed with all it's functions. It only took few minutes to set up & force a time sync & all was good. I call it my summer watch as at the moment it's winter in the UK so I'm wearing long sleeve shirts, sweater or a jacket so it's spending it's time sat on a window sill. My winter watch is a W-800H-1AVES, check it out it's a great watch. Thanks again. Mike in the UK.

Thanks for setting up my new watch!🤗 the manual RC sig get wasn’t in the manual as switching of the beep. One minor detail on your vid, you say it is 200 bar water resistent but it is 20 bar. Thanks again, take care!👍🏻

You're right! I know that "20 bar" and "200 meters" are the same as far as these ratings go, so I just got confused when I was saying "200 bar". That would be REALLY deep!

Just got Gshock GW-M5610-1 at the BX for 45 bucks. LOVE it. I do wish the numbers came a bit bigger like my old PAG 240 (Pathfinder) NOT a deal breaker though Thing is super light, I put a SUUNTO compass on the band for 15 bucks.

comprehensive review, excellent stuff. I love this watch, but you know, there are way too many buttons and options/menus for my needs. I have never needed a lap timer or stopwatch, or the time in whatever other country. It doesn't make sense for the 12 hour time to just have a "P" showing when it ought to say PM or AM (although why you'd even want that I don't know because you'll know whether it's pm or am in any case won't you, so that's a pretty useless feature). So for me, although I want a G Shock (I don't yet own one) and I love the look of this, there are just so many features on it I will never use because for me, I just want to know the date and time, that's it. Many G Shocks are lovely pieces though, albeit very cluttered much of the time in my opinion, so who knows, if I buy one of these it would be an indulgence but, in honesty, I like my very simple F91W so it's not something on my immediate radar. However, I do like that blue one you show but it's unavailable for any reasonable price here in England. Great video nonetheless, really enjoyed it.

Hi Greg hope you’re hale and hearty, thanks to your coverage on G Shock and Casio products I got into owning my first ever G Shock a week ago. I got myself the GW5610-1CF that comes with the auto backlight and a 3sec on screen lighting. Love it to bits. My dream watch to own will be an identical g Shock square that can come equipped with a heart rate sensor, sleep tracker and step tracker. I’m big into walking since 2015 and I’m growing tired of wearing a Fitbit for it. Please ask Casio to make one with the requirements I’ve mentioned 🙏🥲

Thanks. Yes, I watched that video of yours. And I will receive my M5610U on August 18 together with the GMA-S2100-4A for my mom. There are no KZbin tutorials for this watch either. Everyone just admires the appearance.

Hi, It's worth paying $40 more for this model instead of the DW5600E-1V? Atomic timekeeping function doesn't work in my country. Excellent review, btw...
