GWM5610U, GW5000U & GWS5600U - 3495 module - tutorial on how to setup and use ALL the functions

[@Cavush]

I have to say, I got the 5610u a month ago, and it was a mistake, because it’s so good, I haven’t really been wearing any of my other watches 😂

[@surfside75]

Currently wearing it on my right with the skx007 on my left wearing all my fancy duds sipping some .. Feeling like a millions bucks😁

[@milaweitz]

@@surfside75 This is obviously the way to wear it more frequently :-)

[@gdb-u6h]

Same here. I ordered mine last week, thought that it was the 3159 module, then the shop told me the original 5610 is no longer available, they would ship me the 5610u version. Then I googled and came to this video, and this is such a nice upgrade over the old one. Loving the new watch so far!

[@UNSCPILOT]

It's easier if you dual wield watches, that's my way at least, practical on the right, fancy on the left. Don't really care if wearing two watches breaks some unwritten rule, it's fun

Isn’t just so great when people take the time to do these videos, trying to read the instructions given on these instruction manuals that you can’t read because the print is so small for people like me too read.

[@maxmeier532]

It's quite a letdown that this watch that has been the same at its core for 40 years, still doesnt allow you to set up alarms in a calendar. The watch knows what date and time it is, down to the second and it (now) has 5 alarms. But you can only turn them on or off and they will chime daily. I mean, come on.

Whenever I get a new G-shock the very first thing I do is to look for one of you fabulous tutorial videos

[@albert333pool]

Thank you for this detailed review on the watch. When I purchased it, I was already having buyers remorse. I already have about 15 other Casio's and G Shocks, including the 5600, 5610 and 5600bb. The minute I held it in my hands, I knew it was special. The weight, the texture of the band is unlike any of my other Casio's. I can honestly say this will probably be my ONE and DONE over all my other watches. Kinda sad, but it is what it is. If you're contemplating getting this watch... Just do it! You won't regret it. Love mine!

[@ajaxmaxxer]

Thank you very much for this great tutorial, it is way clearer and more comprehensive than the manual !

[@dariuszrysak1133]

visible actual time while on stopwatch and timer mode is great update, ability to choose between mm.dd and dd.mm is another great thing. Casio is listetning to its fans and this is the best gift from Casio G-Shock. Great watches...

[@totallyfrozen]

I really like the small bar indicators on the bottom of the screen. Some other G-Shock models take up more space (like an 1/8 of the screen!) just to tell you battery status. On this model, the information is there, it’s easy to see, and it’s subtle and out of the way. Also, I use countdown timers much more often than I use a stopwatch. So it’s a very nice feature to have because it can be a pain to have to do all that with a big, flat iPhone. One complaint I have is that the alarms only seem to beep for 10 seconds, then go off. The tone isn’t very loud. So if you don’t sleep lightly enough to wake up in the 10 seconds of beeping, you’re likely to oversleep. In my opinion if Casio really wants to make this model the cat’s meow, they’d add the function to allow alarms to be set for certain days. I don’t have to wake up at the same time all 7 days a week, for example. So it’d be nice to have a way to preset alarms for specific days. If Casio updates the 5610 to include this, it might be the most useful watch on Earth.

[@JasonGulbin]

Agreed. If you look at vintage Casio digital watches they actually have the alarms for different days of the week, would be cool to bring it back.

[@sir_van_dou]

Are the bugs included with the update ;)

[@YOLOSWAG420_]

Bought this today in addition to my 2004 Gshock which is still doing great, but I wanted digital display. Love it straight out of the box, perfect size and fit. And thanks to you I don't need to read the manual for the new module!

I attempted to “get” by holding the bottom right set button, but I received an “error” message while it was trying to sync. Any tips or advice of what that means? I’m guessing it needs to fully-charge and then I should try to re-sync it.

[@nowayout8773]

I bought a Gshock GA2110 SU and I tend to prefer analog and the calendar is fun to look at but the digital screen is a bit impractical. But the watch is tough as nails. Now, I bought this watch and got lucky, not knowing what I was buying, and I got the updated version. I used to look down on the digital screens but I really like this watch. The technology inside is amazing. I don't travel much, and I am from the USA and now live in Germany. I switched the date because of this video. I knew about the feature but the video was so well done that I pushed the buttons and bingo, it was changed. The online instructions are good but you explained it and made it easy. I am now a subscriber. Just to mention, I was looking at mechanical watches and other fancy quartz watches but I need something tough and reasonably waterproof. 20bar is really good. And I paid 103.97 with free shipping. I feel lucky 😌

Thank you very much, it helped me in everything for the first time and to know more about this spectacular casio.

[@bakagabor]

I had the original 5610 in the "half-blacked-out" version (1BER -- negative display with white and gray accents on the dial) but after hearing about the U versions here on WatchGeek last summer, I bought a new one with the default retro colour scheme last September. A double win, as I was able to swap the modules between the two cases in minutes, so now I have the grayscale looks with the much more legible positive display and improved module, and the wife got a "new" G-Shock for occasional use. And to my eye the goldish hue of the digits on the negative display actually look better with the dial colours of the basic model. I have two gripes about the U module: although the longer duration of the backlight is a welcome improvement, the directional and spotty nature of the LED is a bit annoying, the other thing is that the U module - at least mine - synchs much slower than the old one (it takes about twice as long). Anyway, both the old and the newer model/module is highly recommended, any one of the 5610 family is good addition to any watch collection. (I'd say a perfect one half of a 2-piece "collection"). Nice tutorial by the way, but that's just expected here anyway. :)

[@surfside75]

Exactly.. My two piece would be what I'm currently wearing, skx007 on my left and this retro Gshock on my right. Been doing this every Friday for a couple months😁 -really like that Seiko uses blue for Saturday and red for Sunday on the day wheel❤

Same though here, I have the 5600-B1ER and can't read the time unless i bring the watch at the perfect angle or fire up the lighting. The inverted screen looks cool on internet but it is not.

[@discoscience]

As someone who owns both I hate to admit I prefer my 5610; it fits my smaller (6.25 in)wrist way better, is significantly lighter, has buttons that are way easier to push (especially having to hold down the adjust button in several modes to set things…it gets really cumbersome to do this with the 5000u and those buttons do not get easier to push as you wear it which is a bummer), and there’s something about the red line and layout that harkens back directly to the 1983 DW5000C that I absolutely love. While being very sleek and under the radar, the monotone symmetrical “Hero” layout of the 5000u just don’t evoke the same feeling for me even though it mimics the construction of the original with the steel core. It gets a bit boring after a while. Anyways, enjoy your 5610! Never a wrong choice!
