Square G-Shock buying guide - Part 2 - weird ones :)

[@mdewey1983]

I haven’t given a shit about watches for 40 years and suddenly I want 20 square G-Shocks.

[@LobsterRavioli]

I appreciate the square lineup video, it’s my favorite G-Shock. I also like the fact you make videos of affordable watches, not many out there do. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊

[@RandomRobReviews]

Killer job on showing the squares.

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊

[@gregconnaughton1409]

there is also the grx 5600 with solar power (no atomic function) with tide and moon functions... i bodysurf most days and always have a tide gshock on my wrist.. currently the round gwx 5700s have taken my fancy.. but i have owned all the other squares at one stage or another..i enjoyed the video very much

[@jouwenlee7829]

G-Shcok square lineage is vast vast and long running until today. Wishing there's a follow up video on this. It's a rabbit hole for the Casio and G-Shock square. There are so many of them and I can't decide which one to get. 😅

[@t3dd3k]

GLX-5500 g- lide was my first square and its still running. The tide and moon phase looks awesome and made me buy it back in the day.

[@edmund8954]

The Glx 5600 was my first gshock!! still on my wrist.

Is it worth getting? There's one for $30 at my local pawn shop

[@maxpayneau]

The best GWX-5600 version is in my opinion the GWX-5600WA witch has positive LCD and white mat finish band with no G-LIDE marks. I have one of these and i love it.

[@nicokano]

I confirm that 😎

[@maxpayneau]

I need to add that GWX-5600WA and his brown negative brother GWX-5600WB was a remake to the not the best looking in my opinion GWX-5600 main series. Botch are insanely perfect. I pay almost twice the price to bring one form USA to Poland. 🤗

[@rolufhinrichsen3197]

Thank you for this square compilation and all the facts. I love your channel, please keep on doing this!

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊 and I will

[@AuldeyST]

Thank you so much for making such a informational video, I've recently been interested in Square G-Shocks but have no idea which one to get. THIS IS SO GOOD AND EASY TO GET UP TO DATE Thank you

[@joeframo3347]

Love your introduction with the music I love that music sounds so cool

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks

[@RobBrook]

Great video for anyone interested in squares and wanting to find out more! Bravo

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊

[@CorkKNIFE]

I have the DW-56RT 7:47 and thumbnail (Referee Timer). Mine reads "Referee Timer" where the one in the video reads "TIMERS 11".

[@FirstOfTheYear777]

Hey! Love the videos, these buying guides have been fantastic. Could you do one on the GA series possibly? Keep up the great work regardless :)

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks, I'll think about it

[@cavalry1213]

I had the GWX in Red and it was gorgeous. Sad I sold it during Covid for some extra cash lol.

[@betulaobscura]

My favourite Casio G-Shock is: DW-D5500BB

[@enriquejosekravetzmalabud8530]

I Have the GLS-5600, its great. I found some days ago the bisel has a gap between the bisel and the frame. It could be a problem?

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

Tonight when I got home I took off my $9k omega and put on my G7800 black :)

[@pec1739]

about 20++ years ago my mom bought me the G056, its still working today, just that the LCD is not that clear anymore

[@pkasra]

And there is a high chance than it can be fixed.

[@SladjanL]

Is just polirized film

[@hamradiocomms]

Truly excellent job covering the squares in part 1 and 2. I collect squares so I’ve watched your g-shock square videos multiple times! Please keep making them. One thing to make note of is you use the world downfall instead of downside. A downfall is when the watch is a failure and not successful because of a feature, whereas downside would be a negative or con of the watch. Hope you make another video of squares! Thank you.

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks for the clarification, there is another square video coming this Sunday that will cover the historical models from first model until 1995

[@hamradiocomms]

Watch Geek wow, that’s great, thanks for the heads up... I subscribed and have the notification on so I’ll check it out.. thanks for the reply!

[@MyLostToys]

Is there a Tower for Australia?

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Loving these guides! Great job👍👍

[@Zsolto66]

Brillant job again, WG, I saw some models here I have never encountered before. Thanks for making this! Zs

[@WatchGeek]

I'm glad you liked it

[@alfredyu7213]

Good Morning!! Apparently haven't been getting the notifications!!! Happen to stumble across this!!!

[@WatchGeek]

I don't know what happened

[@oklahomahank2378]

I think it would be useful if you mentioned which models had the recessed upper left “A” button. Some people want it, some hate it.

[@Manny4356]

The 056 squares look like watches from the future. Didn't know all these others existed, although I used to own the G-Lide. Man, I love G-Shock Squares.

[@WatchGeek]

The futuristic look of the "polygon" is the reason it was used in the movie Avatar. It was worn by the character played by Michelle Rodriguez

[@Manny4356]

@@WatchGeek Cool!

[@whatsonthewrist]

Great info, I like Arnold's DW-5500C, but I like the colors on the GLX-5500. 👍

[@benc1439]

I have a glx5600, it beeps on countdown at halfway and the last ten seconds as it nears zero. Any idea which other models do this as i find it really useful?

[@WatchGeek]

It's called progress timer and there are some other models using it but I don't know which exactly

[@benc1439]

@@WatchGeek thanks

[@PuteriBuntalStory]

Will the LCD wear out ? And will the rubber gets mold and easily break if i never use it for 1-2 years? My adidas watch has mold on it i didnt use it for like 2 years and it breaks when i bend it. Im going to get my very first gshock, hope you guys can help me

[@WatchGeek]

It won't break and the screen will Outlast anything out there

[@vulekv93]

Just a comment, helping your video rating or whatever. Thank you for excellent buyers guide!

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks, I appreciate the gesture 🙂👍

[@Lanciarules]

Since you are considering the models discontinued, a lot are missing, like g-8100 and one of the most interesting g-shock ever: g-7800. And there were some in titanium as well like mrg-110

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks for the info, I'll include them in some of my future videos

[@MrMarxon]

Great video neighbor 👍👍 really detailed info and interesting facts about squares. Keep on with good work 👍

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊

[@joker6518]

I have ordered for Casio 5600dolar watch is that a good one

[@WatchGeek]

Yes

[@OMARAB-s2v]

I think you have missed one which is CASIO G-SHOCK MINI GMN-550

[@daviddeckert]

The DW-D5600P (which you refer to as DW-D5600) is not a line Casio wants to replace regular 5600s, despite possessing a higher quality screen and timer/alarm features. It lacks the distribution, which results in higher prices, competing with their growing models with solar/MB6 even. It lacks the variety of bezels, which makes many of them not "look" like normal 5600s. The "polarizing" GW-5600J (which you refer to as GW-5600) has specialized advantages: larger numerals and no silly 2-letter day display. More serious than the inability to simultaneously display time and both day/date is that these require a different bezel and strap, traits (and parts) shared with the DW-56RT. For some of us, it's a better value than the GW-M5610. And looks better, too.

[@RakeshAshok]

I think you can create part 3 covering the vintage squares.

[@WatchGeek]

Haha already ahead of you, it seems great minds think alike 😁, as that video is coming out this Sunday 👍

Awesome video and some awesome G Shocks! My Atomic feature is still working for my Atomic G Shocks, you happen to know when they are suppose to stop the atomic signal in California????

[@WatchGeek]

In 2019, if it really comes to that

[@Manny4356]

Sometime next year. I sold nearly all my atomics on eBay and switched over to Bluetooth G-Shocks just in case. I'm from California, too.

[@larvancioramos9748]

The one who figure it out which one is my favorite SQUARE, will win a fabulous Casio F w91 😌

Hi you Watch Geek :) Does the G-8000 also belong to the cube model, I'm not sure ...but.... a very interesting and rare model of an interesting module that could be mentioned . ;)

[@johnadams3107]

Keep up the great work,one of if not the best G channels since fwupow went down the rabbit hole.I will comment howewer on the GW-5600J you mentioned that came out in 2003.that had some great attributes like Ti caseback inscribed with text,THE G,an extra long strap with a bucke inscribed,THE G.I loved the expanded case which gave it more wrist presence.and how many of us plan on needing 6 band,I,m fine with 2.this watch had a bigger impact then you realize.okay,now onto the King(flame suit on)which is ridicoulous in size,you know,Invicta Russian diver size.unless you are Gorilla monsoon or Andre the GIANT you will look like a horses ass in public and 5 years down the road say what the hell was I thinking.

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks for the kind words 😊. I miss fwupow as well, it was one of the first channels I followed 👍. Like I said in the video GW5600J has a cult status and followers, and I was not wrong. It is a polarizing watch and I knew sooner or later someone will flame me 😄👍. The king is ridiculous, but I just got one for my friend and plan on making a review, and I was surprised at how normally sized it is. I guess the new Frogman and Rangeman kind of changed my perception of LARGE as the king seems reasonably sized next to them...weird, I know

[@ceruaphadion]

Can you make a SOTC video? :)

[@WatchGeek]

I might do it as an end of the year video 😊

[@Precivilization]

Great video, as usual :). Keep them coming. I thought you might be interested in this app for the iPhone, it's called Clock Wave, since I live outside the coverage area for the atomic clock towers, I wasn't able to take advantage of the Multi Band 6 feature of my watch, this app is like magic, I was able to successfully sync my watch in the middle of the day some 4500 KM away from the nearest tower. Maybe you could do a video review comparing it to atomic clock towers :). Thanks again for the video.

[@WatchGeek]

I've heard of it, but you have to change the home city to Tokyo which makes the world times messed up

[@Manny4356]

Interesting. What country are you from, though, that keeps you away from the nearest tower?

[@Precivilization]

No need to change anything, it's a newer app that has all 6 towers listed. It cost $1.99 on the app store.

[@Precivilization]
