Only $100? I'll Take it! (Reviewing The G-Shock Gx56bb-1)

[@eugenbotnaru9155]

I love how you can wear Rolex watches and then throw on an affordable G Shock! I know people who wouldn't buy a Seiko 5 because they'd be embarrassed to wear "such a cheap watch". 🙄

[@thetimeteller]

Those people are missing out on some really great watches! I love watches regardless of the price-point.

[@eugenbotnaru9155]

The Time Teller i know right!

[@daniel62162]

Love my Seiko 5 it's a great watch

[@dnationapocalypse]

@Blake839 I totally agree with you. I have a small and very humble watch collection and they're all under 500 bucks. I just received my full metal G Shock square resin band in the mail today and it's already my favorite G Shock next to my GST atomic solar. I love watches and one day want to get a rolex stainless steel President but that's when i can financially say that i can afford it 😒

5 days out of the week i sport a GW9400. It is a badass, and by extension, makes me a badass. Love G-Shocks, need to buy more, many more.

[@FEROCIOUSxGx]

You don't even have to press the light button every time. You can hold the light button for a moment for Auto Electroluminescent aka Backlight. The icon, "A.EL" should pop up letting you know that you have that on. Slightly turn your wrist to a 45° angle and bam, backlight will turn on.

[@3rDOZEN]

I bought a 5600 g shock a week ago. And bcoz of your comment, ive learned to use it now

Omg u genius !!!!

[@thebkstank2095]

I bought one from this review essentially. It’s big and chunky but it feels like a celebration of the G-shock/Casio aesthetic. When I wear it, I feel like I’m as tough as some of the people who wear one because it stands up to the abuse.

[@artinhjollder4779]

Great review. This is a perfect go-to/EDC/Tactical watch at an affordable price. Do not hesitate to buy and try not to heed sporadic negative comments about the screen getting fogged up in cold and humid areas. There are always misusage, counterfeits and also obviously fake comments around every successful subject.

[@bhagat6127]

Can you help me b/w this or the GBD 200?

[@artinhjollder4779]

If you have a big wrist and need Tough Solar power, multi-layered structure for camping/tactical/extreme condition demands or just looking for an unmatched "Function*Quality/Price" ratio go for the GX56BB-1 (several versions). Otherwise, GBD 200 "smartwatch" will give you multiple outdoor activities/fitness/workout features (calories burned, a step tracker, interval timer, and lap timer), Bluetooth automatic time sync and GPS connection via smartphone, highly readable MIP (Memory In Pixel) screen, dual time-zone display with a more casual and college-friendly overall look.

[@KRW628]

I liked the 56 so much, I bought three of them so I would always have one. I never understood why Casio took them out of production a few years ago. Turned out they were so popular, that scumbags started to counterfeit them. I guess Casio got the message, because they brought them back into the lineup a year ago.

[@TechImaginist]

See, actually reading the numbers on the negative display is tricky especially if it’s in direct sunlight. The backlight is extremely dim and only lights up for a few seconds. You get used to it, and the ‘auto light’ setting that automatically backlights for a second when you flick your wrist helps a bit. I still love the watch and I just wish this one had the new MIP display and it would be just too good!

[@peacefuljeffrey]

I ordered one of these just yesterday from amazon (I didn’t know about you) and it’s supposed to arrive in two days. I’ve had G-Shocks since the ‘80s introduction when the 5600 was like the Hyundai Excel-the only model in the line. I currently have the solar powered 5600 import, so I know that I’m going to love this model.

[@tammysharonlorettastafford3376]

I just found one of these in mint condition in a charity shop and I LOVE IT!

[@cavalry1213]

I want the GXW56BB-1JF. It’s the same watch, but different because the 1JF has the Multiband 6 Atomic time keeping. It’s overkill and unnecessary, but I want it anyway because I love overkill and unnecessary lol.

[@franknowakowski3103]

You made me buy THIS model as my first Casio! Thanks.

[@Casualcollector2024]

I got me one a few months ago...and I love it! No. 1 watch for swimming, camping and even a night out with the boys- conversation piece:)

I’m a cop and got this watch for Christmas. I have beaten this thing up. Got into fights and wrestling matches. Great watch and tough as hell!

[@GSHOCKOUTDOORS]

Just got mine today. Absolute beast of a watch. I love it. I also don’t get the ‘can’t see it in low light’ comments. Turn on auto back light already? Problem solved.

[@lucacadianalbert]

I'm mostly into smaller squares but I do have a GXW56 that I wear on occasion. I really like that watch and out of all the larger G-Shocks, it's one of the few that actually doesn't look out of place on my wrist.

[@kriss305kross]

I've always wanted a G Shock and this year I finally got to buy me my first G Shock, this being the GG-1000-1A5 and immediately fell in love with it but I didn't expect was to become addicted to G Shocks and then stumbling onto your channel searching for tutorials on how to use my new G Shock. Long story short in less than a month I am the proud owner of 9 G Shocks now thanks to you and your passion for them in your videos. I own today: GG-1000-1A5; GW-5600; GW-M5610-1; GX-56BB-1; DW-6900; GW-6900; GA100-1 (Black and white versions); GA-110. :p Love them all and I have more on scope to acquire in the future (of COURSE the BEAST (GWG-1000-1A3); GG-B1000-1A3; GW9400; GWF-1000). I quickly learn that you can't have enough G Shocks. Thanks man. You definitely awoke a fire for watches in me. :)

[@redstar749]

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 Shit. Amazon is where I just ordered mine through. I’m HOPING that the provider is on the level and that the watch is genuine. Any tips on how to tell a real one from a knockoff?

[@jerryg50]

I have the version of this watch that has both the solar and 6 band auto time receiver. I like it a lot. The negative displays are difficult to read in low light if not using the back light. The LCD displays used in the watches are passive-reflective. The negative display has a very small amount of reflection area for light. The positive display type watches are easy to read under low light.

[@donnym3066]

I immediately ordered one too after watching this video. It's about US$90 in my country after discount. Now, I just need to wait for it. Thanks, man.

[@sofloflow]

My second fave "budget" G Shock (my all time fave is the GW9400). I do love the look of the all metal ones too tho!

[@alfonso4955]

I bought it and sent it back same day. Legibility is ridiculously poor indoors even with the back light. If it had MIP would be heaps better. I’ve got 7.5 inch wrists and I just about pulled it off. I’m sticking to my 5610.

[@ronch550]

I got this watch back in January but I don't wear it all that much. Yes it is a very nice G-Shock but I realize it's a bit too big for my wrist and legibility is a bit difficult. Not selling it though. It's really nice and it's the definitive G-Shock, at least in my opinion.

[@nikonn90]

I'm really interested in this model but I've read a lot of stuff about these models fogging up. Has there been some moisture in your watch? Greetings from Germany

[@MrWhyck]

I have a G-Shock GW-M5610BC-1JF JDM modell with auto light function. Solar, radio controll, and unique bracellet. I think the coolest G-Shock ever.

[@cipriantegzesiu7247]

Did you have problem with condensation, with this watch? Many People say after a while the screen is cloudy

[@mc50992]

You're my favourite KZbin watch reviewer. You are not pretentious at all and I like that you enjoy watches for real. Not just because they are expensive but because they have unique qualities. I, like you, enjoy pricey watches because I like them for what they are, but I also love G Shocks for their unique contributions to horology. I love my GS56bb1, by the way. I like it WAY more than I had thought that I would. It's too big....in all the right places, ha ha. It looks super retro-futuristic to me and it is soooooo tough. It's also great for my work as it seems near-indestructible. I do not have any trouble reading it....and if it is dark out then I use the backlight. I also love how light it is. The tougher strap and screw-in buckle. Oh, mama. I love it. That price. I love it. I wear it lots of fun places. Thanks for your reviews. It's my go-to when I'm doing something that Is more likely to mar up my gwg-1000. Don't get my wrong, the gwg-1000 can take it all....but at that price I don't want to scrape it up too badly too quickly, ha ha. The King, however.....can take it without a care! Thanks for your videos. Your personality always cheers me up too!

[@derekwalter4238]

Y'all oughta stick to the gxw-56-1bjf instead. It's got multi band 6 and a positive display so it's way more legible plus the screen has this green tint to it which reminds me of the old game boy screens and how can that not make you smile?

[@omegacontrol9889]

You don't understand. Dark is fine, use the light. Sunny days, bright rooms, it's fine. It's "dusk like" conditions, low light, so low that you can't see the display, but bright enough that the light doens't help. In those circumstances it is very hard to read. (not this one only, but all with negative displays)

[@raksh9]

This is what is putting me off the negative display metal squares. Even if they are the new STN display, I don't trust they will be legible at a glance in middling light conditions. My preference is for positive display and/or white frame analogue hands like the new Gravity Masters.

[@JamesDavidWalley]

Can’t see how this is better than the GWM-5610, which has all the same features plus multi-band atomic syncing, and which looks more like the classic DW- 5600e to boot.
