G-SHOCK 40th Anniversary RECRYSTALLIZED Edition Watch - DW5040PG-1 - 2023 - DW5040-PG1

[@jon1931]

I picked one up. I love the look and weight of it. But the gold sunburst dial is what sold me on this!

For 120 you can get a fully loaded gwb5600 ... solar , Bluetooth, Multiband 6 and there are a lot of styles. This new anniversary watch is ok for collectors or people who really want to stay retro.

very nice review!!! i just picked up the 5610U but i'm so tempted to return it and get the DW-5040PG-1. I'm a little torn and maybe you can help. I love so much about the 5610U, looks, functionality, module specs, solar and multiband. It's got a ton going for it and i can't stop staring. Totally brings me back to childhood but with modern flair. But i really really really dont like how its viewing angle is so limited. I like glancing at my watch for time, but i find i have to have it angled very specifically to read anything. I'm between 2 notches on the band, one is kinda tight and the other is loose enough that i have to move the watch with one hand to get it out from under my sleeve. Both get old quickly. I'm not sure it its the caseback, but i wouldn't say it feels amazing on the wrist or that i can wear it all day no prob. It irritates eventually. I keep trying both slots to see if it breaks in better and hasn't. The DW-5040PG-1looks stunning. I love the gold screen and having the brickwork more prominent. With so many square's looking similar, i really like that this is traditional yet stands out as unique. Do you think this model has a wider range of viewing angles than the 5610U? would its screw caseback be more comfortable? Even if the band leave me between notches, maybe the caseback would make it feel better overall. I can live with it lacking solar (but it is cool) and i can always manually adjust the time with other multiband watches. But I do wish it had both. I don't use world time a ton but it sure is nice when you do, so I'd eventually miss that too. I think it's looks keep bringing me back to want this, but i would miss some of the 5610's tech. If it is better to see time at more angles, and feels better on the wrist, it might be for me. But if its the same bad viewing angle and fit it similar, i guess i should stick with the 5610. Any feedback on these questions is much appreciated and I'd love to hear your thoughts on if you think i'd like this 40th better than the 5610 based on my comments. Thanks for a great video and your time!

Just get the 5040. I bought a 5000U a month or two ago and bought the 5040 a month after. 5000U is on the chopping block now even though the specs are better etc. The 5040 is just special

[@UHOOHEXTRATECH]

Thanks for showing us the watch! I'd like it more without the added gold hardware. Glad they didn't ruin it with a negative display.

And there it is, perfection. That red line always sold that watch to all us kids of the 80s.... it looked hard as f@#k

[@F.C.Sneakerfactory]

Chavo always providing the detailed and clean reviews. Very clean watch definitely takes me back. I like the subtle hits. I don’t see it being worth $300 tho. Keep ‘em coming Chavo

[@rupertvanhelsing2695]

Love this one- unfortunately on the continent we have to wait a lil longer to put the trigger

[@whatchamatcha]

I just got mine today, and like yours the right side of the top strap doesn't sit flush with the case. Drives me nuts!

[@hessende8829]

Dimensions please!

[@insightman9632]

This is an awesome review. I got the watch. Is the bezel compatible with a metal bezel? which one?

[@InSpades0]

It’s a major disappointment for me that this watch doesn’t come with solar seems like a complete wasted opportunity. I was thinking about getting the gold crystallized one but idk if I like it enough to pay the price.

[@andrewg2618]

The DW 50** anniversary models are ALWAYS the base module. Always. That's why it's a DW, not a GW.

[@khazelnut]

This isn't the eric haze model I think

[@lgroves336]

1 yr later these have almost doubled in price for a NEW one.

[@Dark_Asteroid]

Breakin it down just like a shotgun

[@felixmint9839]

Oh my god boss

[@nigelstevens6218]

Gonna have to leave this puppy as it’s trash will stick with my 5610u 😂

[@BobBob-pf1zs]

"Limited Addition" my ass. Everyone in existence got one.

[@Romio666]

👍👍👍👍

[@jasonwilson7674]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

I'm new to collecting G Shocks and want one of these. Judging by the prices on eBay, it was limited edition enough, apparently 🫣

[@jasonwilson7674]

​@AlphaRomeoOneFive I recently bought one on ebay and it's stunning, yes I paid more than retail but I now own one 😊

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

@jasonwilson7674 nice! I ponied up and bought one on eBay as well two weeks ago. USPS lost the package... it hasn't had a scan on it in 9 days now and no one knows where it is 😑 the seller didn't insure it for the right amount so I'm trying to be patient and hoping it makes it way back in the system. Otherwise, he's screwed and I'll have to get a refund and order it again

[@andrewg2618]

Love the watch but Casio needs to get rid of that woke takeaway box. The environment can damn well handle a proper box.

[@Romio666]

😂

[@philbell5564]

Nope. Not for me. I'll stick to my 5610u, that looks 99% similar and has way more functionality. Swing and a miss, for Casio.

[@HayesTech]

Yes, it looks like a McDonald's Big Mac container.... Major step backwards. And I love Casio, but this is not good for their image

[@bandinito2000]

Very nice and all... but... Casio should start releasing new watches that we can use... lately it is launching many collection watches with very high prices, it's okay to release 1 or 2 collection models but everything? I refuse to pay high prices for different details 🤣 when Casio will launch a new Smartwatch or a new Master G, that new GBD H2000 is identical to my H1000 and it's not worth taking the leap, I don't know... Casio is disappointing me this year. .. 🤷‍♂️

[@oldcmputer]

A $30 watch sold at a $300 cash grab premium. You could of at least added Solar / MB6 for $300. Why would you even consider this over the GW-5000U?!?! So stupid.

[@thiscocks]

You're obviously not familiar with the DW 5000 anniversary editions

[@chrisisonewithGod]

Could I get your email. I'm not on face book messenger anymore. Thanks a lot
