I recently found my DW5600 after rummaging through storage. It sat in there for nearly 10 years without a battery change, and is still ticking away without a new battery, 5 months after I found it. Of course it was in storage so the alarm and light weren’t being used and thus weren’t killing the battery, but still. Absolutely outstanding.

[@freequest]

Yes, for a 2-year battery life, they just keep going and going. 😄

[@alexfunes1466]

Greetings. On this site because I too have a DW5600 (35 yrs young) that was given to me as a B-Day gift. I recall changing the battery 1 time but more than likely twice in those 35 yrs. I was going to use it the other day but the screen has frozen up where I cannot change settings. Not sure if it is a battery thing(haha) or something more. You ever have this happen with your piece?

Need a watch, G-Shock will not disappoint. I've worked on cars with it, dry walled, carpentry and worn it on a boat fishing. Like you said, run it under hot water to clean it. Maybe a little brushing. It just keeps coming back for more. By the way, mine is about 12 years old.

I bought a grx 5600 globe edition g shock when it came out. I wear it doing everything, because I bought that g shock to take damage regardless if it was special edition. Through thick and thin I have had it on my wrist for 7 years and still looks good! Love g shocks

[@philipjanes]

Nice video. Thanks. I only have one so far, my beater gw-m5610. Ive worn it for 4 or 5 years. I wasn't real excited about it when I ordered it, but the more I wear it, the more I realize how cool and tough this little watch is. And I bought it when the trending watch style was bigger=better, so I was going against the grain here. But I wanted solar and atomic, and I wanted something to fit under my sleeves easier. It does all that. I've put it through some rough situations and its still kicking, though I could use a new bezel cover on it, but I don't care about that. The mineral glass is still perfect, being inset nicely. The original strap finally cracked so now it wears a Nato. So, I've fallen in love with it. I want a couple more of these, but I'm not sure I'd wear them enough. I love this little apocalypse watch so much. Maybe I'll get another though.

[@jmmartin7766]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it-- FWIW, My 'gateway drug' (for G-Shocks) was my G-100-1bv ana-digi. Perfect size, tough as nails, highly accurate, still looks good in spite of (or maybe *because* of) a boatload of 'hard use patina'... and more features than most other watches, period (whatever the price point). And now? I'm lusting after a 'square'-- probably something solar-powered, but we'll see... For some reason, I keep gravitating to the least expensive models-- not because of their low prices, but for their rugged simplicity, end of story.

[@davidnelson6826]

J Michael Martin If you’re still looking for your first square, I might recommend the GX56BB-1 for you. While it’s not $40, (correct me if I’m wrong) it’s the least expensive mud/ tough solar combo watch. But moreover it’s one of the most rugged looking, well-styled g shocks. Its only $99 which when I compare it to much more expensive watches I’m always shocked. You must put it into consideration.

[@jmmartin7766]

@@davidnelson6826 Thanks for the suggestion, David. I'll check it out-- So long as it isn't that dimensionally different from the 5600 series (cause I'm working with 6&1/4" wrists - lol), it outta be great... I'm a huge fan of solar watches, as well...

[@Clearanceman2]

The GW-M5610 is only $84 right now at Amazon. That's a really good deal for what it is.

Love the squares! For me the 5600e despite being a great great price for a G Shock isn't worth bothering with. I have the 5610 which isn't alot more and has the atomic timing and is tough solar. I also prefer the look of the 5610 as it looks alot like the very first G.

[@Pavilions2]

The 5600E is one of the best watches you can buy for the price, but consider one thing when you buy it. It pulls hair but if you screw the back tighter It will reduce the pulling, but it will still exist.

[@furballbear]

I love my DW-5600E-1V I bought to replace my DW-5200 that I purchased in the late 1980's. The 5200 still works perfectly but I couldn't find an affordable replacement bezel for it so I got the the 5600E to wear as my daily driver. Eventually I hope to get a GW-5000 but I'm in no big hurry since the 5600E is so nice.

[@itsallrobbish]

furballbear There’s a woman in Brazil that sells them. The band she sells is a wee bit smaller than the original, though, but still looks ok. Your DW5200 is worth a fair bit now.

[@samdeur]

The full metal at 11:55 is the one that caught my eye. I've been on the fence about it for awhile.

[@econtadini]

thats a great collection. I was skeptical about this g-shock cult following people had going on, but now that i had my 5600e for a year I kinda see why this line of watch is worshiped so much. I mean mine has a year of wear and it still looks like new. the phisical dimensions of it are just right, not like the round g-shocks that look Gigantic. it had never failed me ,and, I dont have to worry about maintenance. clearly the most dependable gear I ever had. people criticize this brand because its unnecessairily tough. But in fact if it can resist insane situations like boiling water,freezing,falling from a building,getting runover by a truck. then it will never break or get an ugly scratch on normal use.

[@chrisdavis1151]
