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?

Sold my GMW 5610 and bought a GW 5000. I see the GW5000 as a G-shock and treat it as such. I wear it to the gym, while cycling, and while working on my car. The watch has its fair share of battle scars and I just love it, great piece.

[@Eckoolt]

Do you still own gw5000?

[@RideAlongside]

The 5600E is so great for a watch that lasts and lasts. Abused mine so much through mtb crashes and hard work. It has all kinds of scratches, but I still love it. I wear my Seiko Turtle all the time now, but still love the 5600

[@JustRobHere]

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.

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.

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

[@ElReySupr3me]

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.

[@Pastmaster-15]

I was in south Florida a while back and in a local mall I saw a square one that was urban camo .now I'll be dammed if I can find it

[@mattluxton]

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.

[@Ragna___]

OK.. I fell in love with the one with the wood pattern and the negative display...

[@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.

[@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.

[@daviddeckert]

Despite being in my early 50s I managed to entirely skip all of these watches. I did once have an LCD watch and so that’s what the $40 version reminds me of. The layout of the squares can’t be beat; I don’t understand the appeal of the rounds. And then I get interested in solar and atomic until I see the prices, and wonder why the display (uh, and the whole thing) looks like 1983. Nostalgia becomes sobering quickly. Digital watches? Apple Watch, that is all. Oh, and that combi bracelet is pretty badass for sure, except for the part where you apparently have to know secret handshakes to find one. And then pay $100 for it. Rapidly takes the fun outta the hobby. I still want one, obviously without knowing why.

[@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]

11:56 That is a nice addition to your collection of G-Shocks but far too bling to be practical. I would not dare wear such a fancy watch for any outdoor activities for fear of scratches, dents and or chips.

[@raksh9]

I think the concept of the full metal squares is to create a premium, almost luxury watch for those who love the resin squares. Given how polished it is, you're not really meant to use it like a resin square. It's for weekends, desk duty, even going out in a nice shirt or suit. You've got a great looking watch that has all the internal hardiness of the original G in case it's necessary. I'm sure there are thousands of people who grew up with resin squares, and would love a more 'adult' version of their childhood/teenage watch.

[@Daud76]

I have to admit, I had zero interest in G-Shock squares until you (and then Bruce Williams) started singing their praises. Now I have two 5610 and even put OEM Casio bull bars on them! Furthermore, I picked up a large handful of the entry-level G-Shock square last fall and they came in handy for horological evangelism because I gifted them to young people and brought them to White Elephant/Yankee Gift Swap events. It is such a solid, functional, classic watch that wears well in almost every configuration on every wrist.

[@triples4good]

Can't beat a G Shock square. I just got a combi bracelet for my 5610. It might be the most comfortable watch I own. I agree, I have a 5600 that I wear when I have any physical work to do and I don't want to bugger up my 5610. Was kind of thinking of a 5000 or a 35 year anniversary piece. Wood grain is pretty cool too. Cheers.

[@Atombender]

The resin bracelet on my old Casio (non G-Shock) broke twice and at one point I was just using it as a pocket watch.
