one of the greatest watches ever made!!!! rocking my gwm5610 today!!!

[@skd]

Quick info: Even if you don't live in an area close to a tower, you can still use apps on your phone to replicate that signal and update your time on the watch.

[@maxdarrow939]

Is nobody going to mention that you’re recording a half hour watch review at 3:30 AM?

[@yorusuyasoul69420]

Yeah lol

[@jonlee580]

To be fair he does say it in the video that he is a night owl... But until he said it.. I'm like.. Dam dude is doing a review at 3am😮😂😂

[@wrightstuf73sw]

I Got the GW-M5610U.... The 2021 Upgraded version... you can see the time while in stop watch mode

[@valueink]

Solar, automatic time update, auto EL, better dial contrast - very useful features not available on the 5600, well worth the extra $50 imo

[@JeeGee114]

Thinner as well and a better quality back plate.

[@BLUESBOYBENFIELD]

It’s not EL……

[@Yang_Mulia]

@@BLUESBOYBENFIELD the older 5610 is el, the newer 5610U is led

[@UAL320]

All in all a good review. We are 5 yrs later now and the new module (3495) takes care of a few of your concerns like time display while using stopwatch. As far as the radio synch, it’s just not designed to reliably sync in a watch case away from the window. Do any competitor watches do that? Also, where did you get the idea 24 hr time is only used in the military? Very widespread in all kinds of industries (aviation and maritime just to name two) and also widely used in countries that use the metric system.

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

SUPERB WATCH... Enough said.

[@davehall1406]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. This is my first 'G' and i have to say i'm very impressed with it. No input needed to keep it cell phone accurate, however i live about 80 miles from the UK atomic clocks at Anthorn, so the signal is strong and ubiquitous. The graphics are multicoloured and gaudy to some folks but i have a couple of 80s Suzi GSXRs so i like them. Solar works as advertised and the watch is smaller and less 'gothic' than many 'G's my only thought is why have'nt i bought one before. Thanks for the post.

[@JustBlueFish]

Yeah overall a great watch. Living so close to the atomic clock signal would make it perfect.

[@ForeverUnknowing]

I got one of these from Casio direct for about $79 earlier this year. IMO, the quintessential G-Shock watch. Apart from the classic styling, it does absolutely everything you could ever watch a watch to do. Tough Solar and Multiband 6 make it a zero maintenance piece that keeps as close to perfect time as you're going to get. Stopwatch features, time zone features, 200 meters water resistance... it's really the perfect beater watch. For me it's the gold standard for accuracy and I use this watch to set all of my automatics. Great piece, no intention of it to ever leave my collection (and if it ever breaks for some reason it will be immediately replaced). Solid video!

[@jamesmcnary4939]

Pick the G-shock you like and give it the beating that it was built for. I love Casio.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@davidlee9779]

I have a trick to make it sync every night. Just wear your 5600 when you go to bed :) Works every time and I live in Canada! My theory is that the body becomes an antenna for the radio signal. Alternatively you can use the Clock Wave app to sync it manually.

[@superfast30]

The greatest non screw back square ever made. The forged steel case back is a nice upgrade over the stamped type case back found on entry level G-Shocks!

[@nigelstevens6218]

In the UK the 5600 e is 70 pounds the 5610 is 83 pounds not much different

[@JustBlueFish]

Crazy, that's not much difference. In the US the 5600 can be found for $40 while the 5610 is $85, at least on Amazon right now.

[@jasonbuhagiar2997]

Too much whining. It's an £85 watch. It's a bargain. If you can complain on an £85 watch , I don't think that you will ever be happy

[@JustBlueFish]

You are clearly to stupid to understand what a review is.

[@billmurphy893]

Insults reveal more about you than the ones they are hurled at.

[@alt0v14]

The cost of that watch in Ukraine is $217. It's such a pleasure to get it for less then $100. May be we are reach people here in Ukraine and can afford such prices :) who knows.

[@JustBlueFish]

I'm not familiar with Ukraine exchange rates and how $217 would relate to the US dollar.

[@xXOctan3Xx]

In the UK on Amazon it's £81, close to the $100. Could you try getting it shipped?

[@morshed492]

I didn't find this watch anywhere in Bangladesh.. And even if it was available it would cost more than 200$.. But luckily I'm using another process of getting it direct from USA and paid 107$... Hope that's not too much :')

[@Commsfarage]

You shouldn't of overthrown the legitimate government with EU support

[@SlavaVB]

you can now see current time in timers in the GW-M5610U

[@surfside75]

Ok, ordered. It'll go so well with all my vintage/classic Casio's I've collected✔️ -thanks👍

[@manzahalem8845]

I’ve had both the DW5600 and this 5610 Solar/Atomic and kept the 5600. For my money the 5600 fits my wrist better and is much more comfortable. Better off-axis viewing angles and better EL Backlight as well, backlight is stronger and lasts longer (about 3 seconds) per push of the D button. Also like that I can view current time when in other screens/modes. Alarms on G-Shocks can rarely be relied on to wake up to. Much too quiet and too short of a duration. Casio should take a page from Timex’s book regarding alarm volume and duration. I do like the idea of the solar and the atomic timekeeping, my ideal square G-Shock would be the 5000 model but I’m too frugal to drop $300 on a G-Shock Square. Everybody should have a 5600 at least, these G-Shock squares are classics. Love your videos and your always thoughtfully presented content-thank you for sharing with us. 🙏

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks Man, appreciate you watching and for the feedback. I think I'll just stick with my 5600, I already love that watch and the 5610 sync is a bit more of a hassle than I would prefer to deal with.

[@Chrishagen]

Yes! The strap on the 5610 is set at a sharper angle and digs into the sides of the wrist more. The 5600 seems looser.

[@mlmperez1114]

Out of the 9 Casios, 3 are tough solar(gw5610/gw6900/gwb5600). The 5610 (older model) is my favorite, fits my wrist superbly. The resin on gwb5600 is too soft in my opinion, going to swap out bezel & straps on it. I replaced the straps on the gw6900 with dw5600 straps which makes the watch hug the wrist way better than originals

[@frankgerace5997]

A great watch, and it’s great to have it in my collection..I also have the “blacked-out” version of the DW-5600, which is also great!!

[@DiegoMalo88]

should've gotten the GWM5610U

[@mattkurmas6733]

Did you ever explain why not seeing the time of day while the countdown timer is running was a deal breaker? Seems like if you need to know the time while running SW or timer, quickly flipping to the time and back again would be OK. Seems minor to me.

[@oklahomahank2378]

I would say it is most important on the alarms, as you want to know the current time while setting an alarm. It is also useful in the other modes. If we were not obsessive about the time we wouldn’t be watching this video. I have a base 5600 and a GLX 5600 with moon and tides. If I want those features I go with my 350, which is about my favorite but is huge.

[@willesloco]

I’ve owned the GW M5610 for about 4-5 years now, I think I bought it in Singapore. I wore it as a beater watch for tough outside work, painting and took it diving a few times. Then I left it on my window ledge for a year not wearing it once. I picked it up again recently to change the rubber to a nato strap and it’s still accurate to the second and fully powered. It does have problems receiving a signal but can achieve it if pointed in the right direction and that’s even through triple glazing. I think if you wear the watch outside then it shouldn’t be an issue. It is still as accurate if not more so than an expensive mechanical chronometer. For a beater watch it’s the best.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@ats7485]

I may fall into the "knows just enough to be dangerous" catagory, but I am beginning to realize that atomic time is not set in stone as we believed. While the measurement of a second is precise (based on the consistent oscillation of cesium atoms), the time varies dramatically depending on the altitude of the atomic clock that sends the signal. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@JustBlueFish]

You may vey well be correct, honestly I don’t know much about the subject either. Maybe I’ll look into it further I’d be interested to know.

[@GeeBeeMike]

Only inside a gravity field.

[@copythat10_44]

It’s solar. That’s why I got a solar atomic. So it’s always charged. No need to power save. Unless you live in Alaska being no sunlight for 6 months out of the year.

[@JustBlueFish]

Yeah the solar charging functionality is great. It can become a problem if like me you own a lot of watches and it might not get worn regularly though.

[@copythat10_44]

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews wait until it goes on sale. I like the new Rangeman that just came out.

[@billmurphy893]

Store it in a lighted place once every 10 months.........

[@Bugster987]

Nice review. Shame the sync feature isn’t working for you. I have the positive and negative versions and keep them on a shelf that catches natural daylight when I’m not wearing them. The room also happens to be in the direction the daily signal is transmitted from and it never misses a sync. If you find the direction the signal comes from and make sure the watch is propped upright (not its natural stance when not on wrist) this may help.

[@JustBlueFish]

Mine doesn’t seem to mind sitting on its side and syncing when it’s outside where it has a signal, but there’s no chance it will sync when in my watch box unfortunately.

[@michalmisio64]

Thanks for the great review on 5610 , I will pick up 5610 for two reasons over the cheaper version: number 1 I never ever wanna mess with opening and changing the battery , and number 2 I do have family in different time zones so I constantly need to know what time is it where they are at, and that rally doesn't bother me that I can not see the time when i go to stop watch timer.

[@roderickmorales]

13:11 almost sounded like you were saying ‘when we’re talking aBRAGout… 😂 Watch is fantastic though, not perfect for sure, but it gets the job done and it’s cool and durable. I am planning in ordering this one from Amazon to check if out. I do own the newer GShock Smartwatch GSW H-1000 that for some reason not many KZbinrs are talking about and reviewing and the Rangeman 9400. I believe this one is more of a classic look. Price it’s definitely reasonable at less than $100.

[@ThomasMehiar]

Hi, I hope that Casio will Make the Changes on those Watchs. Thanks for your review.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and for the comment I appreciate it.

[@kimnewton8530]

Did you know that your 5610 was built on October 25th. 2017, just 58 days after mine (same factory)? Some might find it interesting to know the date of manufacture, and the tough solar models have that information in the serial number.

[@JustBlueFish]

Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@morshed492]

Kim Newton Can you help me figuring out mine???! What's the decoding method?!

[@Amen20]

Never had a problem with atomic sync, watch sitting in my watchox 3-4m from the window. I would never consider not picking a signal every other day as a problem since it's super accurate anyway... That's just silly.

[@JustBlueFish]

Well in my case, it would never pick up a signal when it's in my watch box. If I wanted to place it on my window frame it would sometimes pick up a signal, sometimes not, but that's not an idea location for me to keep the watch. It's a great watch, but if I'm going to have to jump through hoops to get it to sync up it's not fulfilling my intended purposes.

[@Amen20]

Understandably so, different people different expectations. I would buy this watch again even if it would sync once a month but I don't really care if my watch is running late couple minutes... I guess that's because of my mostly vintage collection

[@ivermec-tin666]

I was once a facilities manager and deployed wall clocks across a corporate campus with this feature. Some of them would not receive a signal, presumably due to radio interference in their particular location... I understand that this is a real problem for people who are in the shadow of a mountain, or in a hollow, and just can't receive the signal from their nearest atomic radio tower. I always planned my vacation on the two days of the year when daylight savings initiated and terminated. The thought of setting dozens of clocks in one day was beyond my limit.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

Delineate. Not only do I love the video but I feel like my IQ is getting higher due to your above average vocabulary. I appreciate that so you just won my sub.

[@markdecarlos2141]

I have the same watch and I live in Canada synching no issue for me

[@JustBlueFish]

So you’re suggesting I move to Canada? I don’t know if they’d take me.

[@billmurphy893]

He’s merely suggesting that his syncs fine even in Canada.......Your method of making passive aggressive hidden assertions that are clouded by your own bias is shielding you from significant amounts of quality information and experiences much as your storage of this watch is keeping you from enjoying its awesome features. Hope you enjoy the sheltered life.

[@Seamaster1963]

I’m in Lincolnshire, England. Mine syncs every night without fail. Sometimes at 1:02 am, sometimes at 2:02 am. It’s an amazing timepiece.

[@He_isI]

This is a great watch. I wear it everyday.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching, enjoy the G-Shock.

[@yorusuyasoul69420]

Still alive?

[@He_isI]

@@yorusuyasoul69420 Yes! I gave it to my son after I bought a 1st gen Rangeman.

[@veetour]

I just ordered mine. I couldn't resist! I have two other G-Shocks, the Riseman and the GW6900, and both are solar and multiband. The watches pick up a signal even here in Northern Canada. I wanted to get this one because the other watches were too thick and hard to wear with long sleeve shirts for work.

[@brads4606]

Would the time sync work if the watch is in power save mode? As is in when it’s stored away in a box. Just wondering.

[@JustBlueFish]

It will sync in PS mode, if it can get a signal.

[@Chrishagen]

Florida and Washington get the worst reception from Fort Collins due to distance and/or radio interference. Clock Wave and Radio Wave Sync are both apps which you can manually sync your watch to ,once or twice a month in less than 2 minutes. On the 5610 the automatic sync can be switched off, so this really isn’t a big deal. In any case, in Florida the watch should be left by a North facing window and will likely only successfully sync with Fort Collins at night. North America is poorly covered compared to Europe as far as the atomic time signal is concerned.

[@AUTubeN22]

i didnt realise that the time wouldnt show in stopwatch that spoild it for me too but i just got my gw5610-1er on e-bay for £85 new & unused so ill be keeping it for all its best qualities which are pretty cool! if you want to see the time when in st just wear both watches! :)

[@LightSnackProductions]

It is a battery and it is replaceable if and when it dies , after like 20 years.

[@lxplumm1]

Half of this video is you harping over and over about not being able to synchronize with the Atomic Clock and not being able to see the current time in the Timer mode. Personally, I got tired listening to it.

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Please tell me you kept this watch. I was disappointed with the countdown timer not displaying current time but it wasn't a deal breaker. This has turned into the "one watch to set then all" watch. Love it. Thanks, take care 🙂

[@steve4765630]

The stopwatch actually is better on this one because it can count multiple hours. It doesn't show the time because it counts the hours in that space, but I get what you're saying.

[@russiangopnik9639]

I love your basic humble reviews of all types of watches. But the one watch you need to review is the Casio G-Shock Frogman GWF-1000 before the GWF-D!000 was created. It is the last true Casio G-Shock Diver's watch with just a timer, like a Rolex Submariner before all the other stuff got in the way. Even though there is an argument between automatics and digital watches as diver's watch. It is also ISO rated.

[@JustBlueFish]

I’ve never looked at that Frogman. I don’t think I’d buy one but if I can find one to borrow I’d review it. I do have a Rangeman and Mudmaster on loan now I need to review.

[@neletg]

I have the basic 5600 and the solar and multiband 5610 in black version. In my opinion is one of the best watches ever made.

[@BAR-ct7ti]

Which one??? You listed 3.

[@sverkernilsson27]

I've got the 5600 and use it at work as a construction worker. It's an absolutely perfect watch for me. I would love to have the 5610 because of the solar and atomic timekeeping, but i just can't stand the look of it! It's so messed up and the red square/frame on it makes it look like a toy! Great video. 👍

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching. I think there’s some other solar and atomic square models that don’t have the red outline, maybe a completely blacked out version if I’m not mistaken? Maybe an option for you?

[@sverkernilsson27]

Yes i know of them, the price gets higher and the negative display is to hard to read for me. Thanks anyway, regards from Sweden.

[@davidoffrance]

Maybe the casio gw5000 but it is more expensive

[@sverkernilsson27]

Yes i know of it, but it's almost three times the price and that's above the price limit for me regarding a G. Appreciate your input.

[@NFS-shade]

But I like the color

[@BrianHartman]

You're spot on about the atomic timing. I have a very hard time getting mine to sync. I live in New Jersey.

[@SparkysFork]

Hahaha

[@dariuszrysak1133]

what also is the difference in those two watches is the thickness of the hour digits... in m5610 they are thicker, what makes them more visible. I am happy about the bigger size of the digits on display, the time is visible at first when you look at the watch.

Great review. Another little thing to know, the bezels are different on these 2 models. I wanted the replace the Bezel on my DW-5600E work watch beacause it broke and fell off. When I received it and went to replace it, I found that they are not the same. When buying a replacement Bezel, make sure it fits the exact model you have.

[@tonyhancock3508]

You can sync it manually with your cell phone with ear phones via a JJY or WWVB emulator or simulator app. The ear phones provides the waves signal for your cell phone. You can use your cellphone and download the app that syncs your phone to atomic time or do it manually yourself.

[@slycat778]

nice video, as always :) but could you please put the watch on your wrist when u do a review ?Best

[@JustBlueFish]

I've mentioned it before in other places, but I don't really see a lot of value in doing wrist shots. The camera perspective really doesn't give a good representation of how the watch wears. Have you ever noticed someone takes a wrist shot photo and puts it online and the watch looks huge? In reality that's because of the way the camera distorts the perspective and blows up the closer object (the watch). So yeah, that's why I don't really do them.

[@jasonpark5692]

I got mine in November 22, from Amazon for $70 shipped. I think it may have been one someone opened, didn't like and sent it right back. Worked out great for me. I also had a 5000U model from ebay that shipped from Japan. It had the same module as my 5610U. I ended up selling the 5000, it was really cool with yhe steel case however, with the same functionality I preferred the lighter weight of the 5610 as a daily. Just for anyone that has this but wants a 5000, just another factor to consider.

I did return it. It's a great watch, but not significantly better than my 5600 and since it wouldn't reliably sync the time I figured I'd just return it. I do wish my 5600 was Solar charging though, I'll miss that.

[@albert333pool]

Question... Is there a button to turn ON the atomic so it receives the signal or does it do it on its own? BTW. I agree with you on everything you said about the 5610 which is why I got the 5000u - but I sure love "those small details" on the 5600e ❤

[@brendanl3071]

Hi so did you return ? I got one these watches recently and love the watch apart the atomic time keeping which is slow to up some times depending where I store it in house. Great re view

[@JustBlueFish]

I did return it. I simply prefer the DW5600.

[@peteduncan-um4kx]

my watch synchs fine from my balcony in UK [so far north] and were surrounded more each day by phone masts and wind turbines that may or may not have any effect, good or bad, we had hardly any of those when i got the watch from amazon around £84 3 or 4 years ago. i haven't tried checking if it will synch in its box [ witch is not lead lined!] or berried under a rock

[@BAR-ct7ti]

I guess I’m fortunate. I have the 5610 and I can keep it on my dresser next to my wallet across the room from my window, and it still syncs with Fort Collins. I live in Western Kentucky.

[@rustle9369]

so is it less accurate than any other watch without syncing?

[@JustBlueFish]

When it doesn’t sync it has the same accuracy that you would get from any typical quartz watch. That is usually +/- 15 seconds per month to 30 seconds per month - or about one half to one second per day.

[@dicksonhoang]

Haha.. the way you go detail on the watch like that I gwaranty you you will never satisfy on any watch . No watch is perfect for you ! You are so picky . To me the casio gwm 5600 is the beautiful and perfect one for everybody !

Actually l live in Australia where we don’t pick up th atomic signal at all but lve seen a lot o videos about this atomic time signal there’s one KZbin named Greg Anderson who’s so obsessed withit the guy needs help he can’t talk about anything else,god help him if they ever turn it off,but from what lve heard if you want to pick up the signal it has to be on a windowsill your not going to get the signal if your watch is i your watch box- lm surprised you didn’t know that,even l knew that and we don’t even get the signal but if you ask me the Bluetooth method of synching it to your phone is a much more efficient and convenient way to go in the future for exact time keeping we all have phones and it’s not location dependant the old atomic tower stuff seems a bit old hat now !!

I would like to add to my previous post l have the solar G-5600E it looks exactly like the DW-5600 only with some added features like work time last daylight savings l adjusted the time accordingly and all l can say is that Casio are very modest about it’s timekeeping my solar 5600 in 6 months had lost literally 1 second in 6 months now how accurate to we need to be without becoming completely obsessed and totally anal ? I think we should all relax a bit ,boys remember dispute Swiss propaganda we are still living in the quartz age and they’re getting better at it all the time,especially the Japanese as props my example that opened this post plus if we have any doubts we can always check our phones……the winged griffin Sydney australia

I have two atomic clocks in the same room . one works better than the other . I think , it depends on the brand you buy.

[@JustBlueFish]

That’s interesting, I wonder if maybe there’s a different model that would work better for me. I didn’t think about that.

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews ... an Oregon Scientific clock , works perfect for me , but I live in a different part of the country.

[@TinBin-Craig]

cheers brill review i like the watch a lot

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching. Square G-Shocks are one of my favorite watches.

[@segayah]

Unfortunately, the thing that you consider to be an issue with the atomic timekeeping is not an issue. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the watch. I own this watch and a few other mutiband6 atomic gshocks. These atomic timekeeping watches must be free of any kind in house interference. Computers, radio, or even Wi-Fi signals can affect atomic signal to the watch. You cannot expect this watch to reliably receive an atomic signal shut up in the watch case.The watch needs to be near or in a window to get the best signal. As you already know, the atomic signal is usually received anywhere between 12-5am in most cases. Nothing was wrong with the watch just your location or interference. Sorry, not the watch fault.

[@feardabeard7635]

My gosh what a watch.. If That watch was available when dinosaurs was roaming the earth It would have survived and still been here today telling time.

[@sneakerjoe23]

I understand its your money and your watch so your opinion is valid no matter what, but people are here for reviews and I think you stressed way too much about the watch not syncing in your watch box in your house being a dealbreaker. Don’t think many people keep a plastic cheap Casio in a watch box inside a hurricane proof cement Florida home. Everything else was nice and detailed though so definitely not hating, just pointing it out.

Just got this positive display version. I already had the negative display version. Great legendary retro Casio watch! 💪 🍻 🎊 🇷🇴

[@mortekaieve4729]

It looks like this model now has the time under the stop watch and countdown timer. Also the watches don't always say RCVD to note that it has gotten a signal for time updates, if the watch only updates time it won't show, when you go to the signal screen as long as it says "GET" and not "ERR" it means the time was updated.

[@stephonjames1038]

For some reason 5600e is more comfortable than my 5610 on my wrist. Its weird I also like the consistency on screen more on the 5600e than the 5610. I do like the solar feature on the 5610 and that redline on the face looks like the original.

[@firefighter387]

They now have the GWM500 U which I just payed £74.00 or $98.00 which has the new module that does all that you have seen as negative hope this helps.

Try different setting for atomic time sync. The radio station (WWVB in Boulder, CO) that transmits the time is really low powered, so it's best to sync at night and as direct a "line of sight" as possible. Try different home locations. Read How Stuff Works: How do radio=controlled atomic clocks set themselves. Good review, BTW.

[@markobrien6586]

your videos are great becuse of my Casio watch addiction !! keep them coming !! 5 stars !!

[@SlavaVB]

I just returned my DW5600 .... the timer reset button is impossible to press...

[@sdnalyam]

How is the solar battery on this watch. I had an early version and if on high battery for a long time, ie, not cycling the battery breaks down.

[@JustBlueFish]

I’ve never heard of that sort of problem.

[@willesloco]

Ive had mine for several years with no issue. Even made the mistake of leaving it in a dark drawer for several months and when I remembered to take it out and put it on the window for a charge it was still accurate and had a good charge .

[@hb9145]

All Lithium-Ion batteries last longer if they stay at medium charge. Staying at full charge will degrade the battery faster, but it will still last for a very long time.

[@watchout2224]

I use clockwave too because I live in a valley and the mountains block the atomic signal. Clockwave is great.

[@JustBlueFish]

What’s Clockwave?

I got my 5600 about 2 weeks ago. I choosed it beacuse i wanted the original g shock. I think the there’s no reason to choose the solar version since the lithium battery last for 10 years plus the capacitor need to change between 5-6. Years.

[@michaelo5400]

I have an old and new version. The new version has the date in stopwatch mode. Also the manual (new and old), says the watch should be taken off and placed in a window. I think it’s the nature of radio based communication. I personally think the conbo of tough solar and atomic is worth it. I have found changing batteries in the other version can be problematic, particularly with the gasket seal.
