- I had that Casio back in 1987. My girlfriend at the time hated it on my wrist but never told me. I wish she had because she became my wife and I never would’ve married her had I known she hated my G-Shock.

[@maddingo]

HAHAHA... my wife hated my DW5600E as well, but she has come around (or at least knows I like it a lot) .. she doesn't complain about it anymore. And said she likes my GW-S5600U ?

[@jstogdill]

In the early 90’s I was a US submariner and a bunch of us where Ironman watches with the indigo backlight. They were perfect for checking the time when the control room was rigged red for periscope depth. In fact, so many of us wore them that one of my shipmate’s told his wife about it, and since she worked in PR she pitched it to timex. A few months later they ran full page ads of a bunch of guys standing on a submarine in the dark with their wrists glowing blue. I remember the copy being super cringy (something about “lights out drills”) but it was still pretty cool.

[@swilkobarfingtoniii1642]

Before the Ironman there was the Timex Atlantis, a steel bodied digital that had the same-ish screen display. I bought several of them, finding it easier to buy a new watch than getting the battery changed. I even gave a few away as gifts. Had one glued to the instrument cluster of a Honda Motorcycle for a few years too!

[@brianmurphy8154]

To get my three boys into watches, I bought them all this same G for Christmas. It’s a classic. The wife discouraged me from sending them down the rabbit hole but hey, it’s lonely down here!

[@BigT71]

[@edmonguy]

I recently bought the Ironman for $50 Canadian; I've had a GW-5000u for quite some time. The Timex's buttons are way easier to use. I don't love the skinny fonts, but the Timex dial is surprisingly gorgeous to look at. The screen background is cleaner, the numbers are WAY bigger. For just seeing the time while you're in the gym (what I use the Timex for), Timex wins hands down. I don't love the Timex band as much as you; it's a very hard plastic that's not very comfy. I do like the keeper though. There's something attractive about the Timex that you can't see in a KZbin video... it has a very interesting depth to the dial, while the Casio's is one-dimensional and shallow. The Casio looks a lot like it's 80's ancestor; the Timex has evolved into something completely different. When I bought the Ironman, I just wanted something for the gym that I could sweat all over, allow to get bumped, and not care about too much, because it didn't cost me anything. But I've been surprised by how much I like it... they did a really great job of creating a very nice looking and super usable beater watch. I'd recommend it without hesitation. In Canada, the Casio 5600 is also more than twice the cost of the Ironman, which would be a big factor in making a recommendation. Packaging is a strange category. You throw it away 2 minutes after you buy the watch. Who cares if it's in a chest or a paper bag? Great video about real world watches as always!! 🧡🔥⌚ And best voice on KZbin!

[@apparaoapparao]

In the US, the standard Timex Ironmans are often found $10 less than the basic Gshocks.

I would go Timex for the nostalgia in America during the 80’s. It was the 90’s before I heard of Gshock.

[@Gary-ib8dz]

Good job Jody, but i think you missed a huge part of the backlight. The Ironman gets a 10 for backlight due to night mode! Hold down the light button for 3 seconds and a little crescent moon shows up. While in night mode a push of any button turns on the Indiglo for 3 seconds. The G Shock light is ok, but try to change your alarm or timer settings in the dark. It's a pain with the G Shock, but super easy with the Timex night mode. I don’t know how so many reviews that mention Indiglo skip over night mode. Sometimes I have to work in the dark. Night mode is the reason I keep buying Ironman watches even though i have 3 solar G Shocks with Multiband 6. I always wear an Ironman to work. I'm wearing the retro colored one from your video right now. I have a blacked out one arriving from Amazon tomorrow.

My very first watch when I was 12yo was the Timex Iron Man, the *EXACT* one you showed in the old advert. I was just clearing out old boxes and found it (dead of course), it is beaten to hell the buttons on the front are cracked but I stuck a battery and wouldn't you know, it works, it runs better than I do for its age. I'm keeping it for nostalgia of course, but nowadays I wear one of my multiple G-Squares almost on the daily. This was a *Great* comparison, thank you.

[@thumbs4fingers]

[@gregmcray]

Funny you would put this video out today, as I'm wearing my Ironman as I watch this! I have both, too, but I find I reach for the Timex 2x as often. There's just something about that unique flat-tire face shape and the bigger number legibility. Both ultra classics, though!

[@tbrasc0]

Love the original Timex from the 80s... own two originals from that time and they still work.

[@daveglarner2138]

I think the Casio is undeniably a better watch and don't have much of a problem with that, although I really think the branding category needs some clarity. Maybe it's a regional thing and I'm out of line, but the number of Timex watches in this world is outrageous. Even when I was a kid (I'm 46 now) every single old guy wore a Timex and it's not much different now. Now these old non-watch guys have sock drawers or night stands full of old Timex watches from every period of their life. Every TV show back in the black and white TV days were sponsored by Timex. Even in the 80s, me and my friends mostly had a Timex model. (although there were a few casios around that we might have honestly liked more) So I guess it depends on how you're looking at it. If it's digital vs digital, I get it. But if it's a brand-wide, real-world popularity contest and we're looking at the whole history, it's truly not even close. That all being said, yeah. The Casio is totally better.

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Yes very regional. I’d like a Timex, I really would, I’m of the age that the Ironman was really desirable in my late teens to early 20s. But they were and still are so expensive. Result even now, when I get the itch, I go and check an Ironman’s price and for the money there always are 3 or 4 better priced Gs, even of the more modern and feature rich variety. Growing up lots of us had Casios, Timex were few and far between. And the older folk here didn’t have Timex either. My sensation is the opposite of yours, Casio is ubiquitous and worldwide, Timex is heavy in some markets, rare as hen’s teeth in others.

[@daveglarner2138]

@@marcelovasconcellos6067 That's interesting to think about. I get it though, and absolutely believe you. I think it's easy to get caught up in your own life experience and not understand how it is elsewhere. Especially back then before the Internet started tying us together. I had the Timex watches because they WERE the less expensive ones.......with the exception of the f91w anyway. We'd wear them in the yard at recess, pressing buttons that made beeping sounds and pretend we could control the planes that flew by with them.

[@67nearmint]

To be honest, though I suspected (correctly) which watch was going to cross the finish line first, I was really routing for the Timex. I think I, personally, would have rated the Timex higher in the "Brand " category by a point at least. Growing up in the 70's, Timex was THE affordable watch. My first watch as a boy was, in fact, a navy blue dialed Timex hand winder, similar in appearance to every other watch I had, up until that point, ever seen. The TV commercials were ubiquitous, the tag line still resonates in the zeitgeist 40 years later, and, as a bonus, the brand seems to be having a bit of a mini Renaissance lately while G-Shock is releasing grotesquely expensive special editions of watches they had in their catalog for decades. Having said that, though, the 5600 is just a better looking accessory than the Ironman, in my opinion, at least.

[@user-zd3or4ve3n]

I have an Ironman classic 38. If you hold the start split button for the time zones it will swap home time and the second time.

[@danielcalvo1337]

Two things not covered in the video: 1. The Timex allows you to display the date in an international format for us non-Americans 2. The G-Shock has that infamous receded adjust button that is a pain to operate. This one particularly bothers me as I use the timer quite often. I really wanted to love the dw-5600 but found the Ironman a lot more usable for working out.

[@odouroushouseant]

You have it the other way around with the date formats. Month-Day is the international format (ISO 8601), not America-specific. Day-Month is a country-specific format that I'm guessing your country prefers..

[@Hipnosis65]

This is really good content. I have the exact G-Shock and love it, but the Timex looks good.

[@joek6661]

I use the Ironman as my eyes are a little older and I can read the display of the Ironman on a run. I’m not sure the button below the face is actually two separate buttons - I just press in the middle to start and record splits as I run. I also like that the two times zones can be set to 12 or 24 hours independently. You can also choose if the larger display is used for elapsed time or split time in the Chrono. Great running watch IMHO. How about the Ironman being worn by a US president. The G-shock square, however, is a better-looking watch.

[@unknownriderinbound]

Sadly, it's less about nostalgia and more about which I can see without my glasses, these days.😢

I wish Timex hadn’t gone the shock route and left the classic Ironman thinner and lighter. It still won in all the important categories for actually telling time.

[@johnmckinstry8546]

The buttons on the Timex are easier to use than the Casio.

[@Dreamweaver94]

They updated that GShock model to have an LED, among other upgrades. I think it's worth seeking out over the older model featured here if someone wanted to get one. Then again, there's also a model exactly like that but with solar charging that's even better too!

[@Frank-om4fc]

Had both Watches in.. Very physical job..Casio the day all day long...so much more robust..had an Ironman which lasted months...G Shock lasted best part of 3 years..

[@mjh1]

Not that packaging is all that important, but be aware that G-Shock may have changed their packaging nowadays - I purchased a GWM5610u (brilliant) from TicTacArea, and the packaging was more akin to the Timex's in this video. Thankfully, the watch is what matters, though I was looking forward to having one of those tins!

[@Conundrum191]

Guessing regional differences. I have both The Ironman and the 5610U...Got the Ironman when it was on sale for about $40 Canadian which was a steal. Both also came in the same crappy cardboard like the Ironman in this video.

[@nate9221]

One thing you didnt mention about the timex backlight: if you activate it and then start pressing buttons for the other functions it will stay lit indefinitely as long as youre using the functions. The casio doesnt do that

[@StuBlair-f4j]

Loved the Ironman as a kid. Used the stopwatch as the timekeeper for my dads 5-a-side football matches (when they had 3 teams and 5 minute winner stays on matches). Also has so many memories of doing my swimming badges while wearing it (thought it was so cool that it could go under water). As I approach 40 as much as the memories to that watch still have a place in my heart, my head chooses the Gshock every time. It’s just so indestructible and with the solar of the 5610 it’s a no brainer…but I’ll always love the Ironman.

[@GabrielGGabGattringer]

After a couple years of wearing a 5610 (the only senseable option) I chose the GBD-200 as an upgrade this March. The GBD-200 has not left my right wrist ever since. The best, most legiblöe display I´ve ever had in any digital watch. Even far superior over the Garmin Fenix 6 on my left wrist.

Hey Jodi, I usually agree with your score on these but I think there's a category or point adjustment due here for "buttons" the G is tough and recognizable with all the basics... But the Timex buttons are superior in feel and was of use...I own a free of both these lines

[@alvinprasad2051]

Great review, I think you may need to add another category, mod-ability. The 5600 has an extensive mod list which can change the look of the watch to meet all personality types.

[@SaffuillaKarman]

I have both, though the Square G is the Multiband version and love them equally.

[@johnsmith-gs4qf]

I am a fan of both watches. I wear a Casio G-Shock as my daily wear watch. I wear my Timex Ironman on International plane flights. It is my favorite watch on a vacation because of its easy dual-time feature (for multiple time zones), Indiglo is real easy to read in the dark, light-weight and water-proof, and cheap (not afraid to accidentally lose on trip)!

[@rpredl]

I have bought multiple g-shocks from Amazon and have never gotten the tin packaging, just a cardboard box.

[@ianhardin1148]

The most amusing part for me is that when I was involved in triathlon (I only did sprint distance ones but had many friends who were Ironman-distance triathletes. I even worked at a tri store for a couple of years) and triathletes are big time gadget heads. But I never knew anyone who used a Timex Ironman watch. It was all about Garmin and Suunto. I do wonder how much $$$ World Triathlon Corp. has made from that Timex license. FYI Jody...if you find the right triathlon (one with a pool swim instead of open water) you can "walk" the pool instead of swimming it. I know, its cheesy...but if you have the desire to do one and doubt your swim skills don't let that hold you back! :)

The start/split button on the Timex is actually just one button. You don't have to press the left or right side of it.

I have both of these watches for the last 4 years. Few of my observations 1) The timex appears more accurate than the casio. 2) Also in the GMT mode for timex you not only select a different time , you can change the date or year too. So it technically can be an excellent time travellers watch . 3) you can add the casio g 5610 bull bar onto the timex too , if you just want to mess around

[@ThePirateCasey]

I can confirm, I am a time traveler and we exclusively use Timex because of this feature

[@bugdrvr]

If you can manage to push the adjust button on the g while the stopwatch is running it will show split and basically act as a second lap timer. Not really practical since the button isn't hard to push and a two lap timer isn't as good as a basically infinite lap timer.

Absolutely incredible that your review came out just the day after I had pressed the "purchase" button for the Timex Ironman. I must say, having owned 3 G Shocks, this Timex gave me something very different - some very well executed details. I like how they have more variations of surface finishing. My only wish is that Timex do solar-powered Ironman watches; only then would they truly stand all in a crowd of G-Shocks.

[@hernanromanach7013]

I had the Square Casio Model 5600 and the Timex Ironman 30 laps. I sold the Casio and kept the Timex. Why? 1) Buttons of Timex are better, in the Casio you need a pin to push the reset button, in example when you should put the Chrono in 0. 2) Timex has three alarms, and you could program daily, only working days or only weekends; Casio has only one alarm. 3) Timex has three time zones; Casio, only one. 4) Timex has a bigger display, better light and the light keep working if you are pushing any button, in order to help you perform your duty. 5) The band of Timex is more confortable and better quality. No doubt.

[@kamatchinmay]

Same same😂

Let's not sod about it's the G-Shock and that's the end of it.

Timex's straps are quick to snap, which sucks. Worse is that they don't have stock for a replacement. Gave all my timex watches away.

Great video Jodie. I have both but gotta give it to the g shock on a points decision. Errrr….. just one thing at the start you said Fury vs Joshua but it’s a picture of Usyk vs Joshua in the photo. Fury’s never fought Joshua….yet! 👍

Most people (the mainstream )in the world know Casio G-Shock. I don't think most people have ever heard of a timex Iron Man outside the US. That says it all.

[@rc8rider]

The Ironman was BIG in the UK, back in the day. I know someone who still wears their original as their daily!

[@Sabundy]

@@rc8rider mate.....don't even try and pretend it's the same thing. You completely ignored that I specifically said the mainstream. I could go to Kenya, Mongolia, India, Russia, Morrocco, and Bolivia. And I would easily find people (as in not watch ⌚ nerds like us) who know both Casio and G-Shock. Most wouldn't have even heard of Timex. Timex is like Texas Instruments calculators. Mostly known in the US. Not in the majority of the world. The majority of the world grows up using Casio calculators in school and has never even heard of Texas Instruments. Same applies to Timex.

The other thing with the Casio is you can get it in different colours

With the thumbnail background I got incredibly excited and thought he was reviewing the new signum Miami 😂 hope to see a review of it

I think the price difference between Aus and the US on the 5600 might be packaging related. Last 2 5600s i bought can't in the standard $20 Casio Blue and White cardboard box with no tin.
