Yup, my wife likes her man to wear manly things. Not particularly religious but this bible verse hits it for me. 1 Corinthians 13:11 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 😂 Also, I stopped wearing athletic leisure clothing when my wife asked me, "Are you trying to look 13 on purpose?"

​@oneyedthing Nobody in the military would wear these lol, as they go for the GW-6900 instead, or other tactical beasts like the Mudman and Mudmaster. This G-Shock is for the collectors, as the GW-M5610U pretty much does the exact same job for much cheaper.

1🇯🇵🇯🇵% I can vouch: the JDM models are better, even if it is in an unquantifiable way. Russ nailed it in this post. I felt a bit odd paying 200.00 USD+ for an imported G-shock square, 3x the cost of a 5600E on AMZN and with less nostalgic color & text. I then immediately got thirsty to re-up with another as soon as I got mine on-wrist. The upgraded strap is softer, the display is clearer (like all the 3495 Modules? Maybe, but I think this one's better) and the beefy screw down, laser-etched caseback (and steel core) gives the watch a pleasant heft. It's a secret handshake for watch enthusiasts: Shows you care but does so in an unassuming, no-flash way. To opposite of modern Invictas. Stealth wealth. ⭐IF YA KNOW, YA KNOW⭐ (aka game recognize game) If you're on the fence, GET ONE NOW and "justify" the cost of it later, once you're honeymooning. 💯

Thank you, for finally going over my square. Got one as soon as it came out and if there is another square I wear besides my speed square from 93, I wear this one. They need to o back to screw down square back on all squares, 6900s, and bring back 6600s. Also, the rubber is premium compared to the other squares. Soft and supple yet still tough. Mine is older so it does not have that light issue. The digits are much sharper as well.

As a suggestion, since you mentioned exactly where you bought this particular watch, it would be nice if you would add a link in the description that points over to this exact model, so that we can purchase it as well. Even if they don’t necessarily ship to where I am located, it’s still will bring some perspective as far as what this particular model would cost shopping elsewhere. So, please put links in the description, even if you don’t get a commission for your time. The community will love you for it.

I have the GW5000 band and bezel on my DW5600e. Indeed the band is softer and more comfortable, but with use it does become shiny over time. The bezel compared to the 5600e bezel is a deeper black and the text is sharper looking. Also inside the bezel is apparent the 5600e is just molded while the GW5000 bezel has some other manufacturing process going on as it looks completely different.

I’d love to see this compared to the dw5035. Also has a screw down caseback, that extra weight, softer resin. But what I think might be better is the LCD screen that just looks so… premium. Its a 35th anniversary LE from a a few years ago but its the most premium GShock square Ive handled. I was lucky enough to nab this one plus a couple of other 35th LE circles (black and gold, and the red) which are of the same quality. Really love it if you could review any of those.

I own both. The GW has a more legible display, softer + premium resin, satin/matte buckle, all made in Japan markings everywhere, feels overall more like a special, neutral every day watch. The anniversary in comparison feels more bold and unique, a balance of rugged and jewelry, more colour + design with the brick and project team tough. Even though it comes with the gold buckle I prefer it on a combi bracelet (although the combi does scratch that beautiful caseback, so be warned). Accuracy + battery life on the 35 really debunks the need for solar atomic in the GW honestly. I just have both cuz I like them both - I prefer the GW for every day/winter cause of the neutral tones, whereas I like the 35 for summer/when I'm in a bit of a mood/ special occasions.

After very long debating I've ordered one yesterday for 255€ including shipping. I have no experience with G-Shock and have no intention of collecting them. But I would like to replace my cheap feeling F-201 work watch with something premium feeling that still can take some beating ( at work I do some manual labour combined with a desk job). I just don't want to destroy my vintage Seiko's while at work or on mountainbike rides, but don't want the discomfort of wearing a cheap watch that also looks tatty after a year while doing it. So I just hope it lives up to the hype and does feel and wear premium idd with the nicer resin. Also hope that the noise level of the alarm is sufficient because thats a feature I need 4 times a day at work.

For less than half the money, you can get a square G-SHOCK that looks even more similar to the HERO G-SHOCK than the DW-6500, as the colors, length, and dial text placement are slightly more similar to the HERO. The plastic is also softer than the DW-6500! The only things you lose (compared to the GW-5000U) are the screw-down case back and the multi-band 6🤷🏽‍♂️ But for less than half the price of the GW-5000U, the G-5600UE-1JF is simply the better buy! ....in my opinion 👍😉

I bought my 5610U this week after going down a rabbit hole of Casio vids and forums. (It initially started as me hunting for a Casio for my nephew… ended up me buying a g-shock for myself 😂). I really do see the benefits of the strap and premium nature of the 5000U, but I think the face and price point of the 5610U makes it a better buy for the likes of me. I’ve also gone down the route of buying some bull bars, a grey bezel and strap for a D5600P-8. I’ve seen this grey mod for it online and think it looks so amazing! I’ve also bought myself a nice little combi bracelet for when I wanna keep the black bezel. Have you tried many mods on yours? Would be great to see a mod vid and a gift guide for youngsters (who haven’t been lured by smart watches already). Cheers for the great content

Wow. What timing with this video. I have the dw-5600 and the gw-5000 and I have considered only keeping one of them! The gw-5000 is definitely the premium version, but the 5600 wears lighter I found. Both are awesome watches I'll probably end up keeping both. Great video thanks.

Just spent almost 3 hours cleaning one of my three GW-B5600s and it feels like a new watch. I've been very happy with it for an hour but after seeing this video I want the JDM model. So cheers mate, very successful influencing.

The updated module is not to be sniffed at! Firstly, losing the el.backlight and substituting with an LED uses much less battery power, and by losing the electro-luminescent film in the display 'sandwich' the display sits closer to the crystal, giving a crisper look and fewer internal reflections. Secondly, the updated module means that the time is still displayed in the top-right corner when using the countdown or stopwatch timers. I REALLY like that, and it is a really practical feature. Thirdly, the day/date can be formatted to european display (with day then date) I am seriously thinking of getting this watch. I see that lack of colour as being a plus, making it look more of a 'serious' watch. One downside (maybe I'm wrong here) is that it appears to be very difficult to get a genuine replacement supple-strap.

My problem with the square is I have always thought it was a touch too big. I would love to see you review the baby G Square watch. Particularly the model BGD-5650-1JF . It’s got multiband six and tough solar but it’s just smaller than the regular square. No one has really reviewed those watches and you would be the perfect guy for it!

I have a Baby-G model BGD140-1A. It looks like a normal G-Shock with negative display, just a tad smaller. In person you can barely even see the Baby-G text on the bezel, I even forgot it’s a Baby-G. Also agree they should drop the Baby-G name.

I love my 5610 but my eyesight not being what it used to be, it doesn't get much wear sadly; so that's what would stop me getting the 5000U - otherwise it's looking like a lovely G-Shock. I'm just hoping they make a solar version of the GBD-200 which seems to have a display mode where the numbers are scaled up in size.

Interesting "discovery" (of some sorts) ... and I love me a nice stealthy watch but, although I am a G-Shock fan, I don't think this one's worth the additional expense 🤷🏼‍♂ I recently have the updated 5610, it's perfect and a lot less expensive! Thanks for sharing!

I've worn a gd-350 pretty much every day for the past 8+ years for work. I cook for a living and as you can imagine, my gd-350 has seen some stuff. Water, food, blood, heat. All of it. It has that same style "4 screw" case back and I can't imagine "needing" it to be any more tough. It has developed that beautifully well loved high polished resin finish along with countless dings and scratches. It just always does what it's supposed to do. And the vibrating alarm is irreplaceable. All of that being said, I desperately want a metal g square so that I can beat it up and give it all of the dings and scratches it deserves. Kind of like a better way to document my story than the resin.👍👍
