The Best G-Shock Square Is No Longer the GWM5610U. I Found This!

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.

@@michaelcheung5689 you can use an app on your phone or build an emitter with a raspberry pi to push the radio signal. Bluetooth means the watch has to talk back through an app Casio has to maintain, and they’re already on their second app. It makes the device more a smart watch than a watch.

The 5610U is smaller in the lug to lug than the 5600 and 5000. My wrist is 6.75" but more flat than round and it doesn't sit as well as the other two.

[@hgr.7857]

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. 💯

[@bkc3222]

Are these still being produced? I see on the U.S. website it says "Notify Me." I'm wondering if these are out of stock permanently.

[@Kalmar917]

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.

[@whywecollectwatches]

[@larrylacostjr.2075]

I’ve seen many episodes of your show. I really enjoy them all. 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.

[@RobertNES816]

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.

[@demu001]

I just bought earlier a DW5600RB. Should have seen this episode first, I wanted one too. Just subbed!

[@goboogeeee]

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.

[@stinkystealthysloth]

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.

[@bogrot69]

I have the 35th Anniversary as well. I also have a GW-M5610R-1JF which is solar and multiband 6. Tough to keep track of them all 🤣

[@karelbartman]

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.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Not sure what you ended up buying, but the GW-M5610U is still the better pick. It's more affordable, easier to replace and isn't made for enthusiasts unlike the GW-5000U.

[@karelbartman]

@@StardustLegacyFighter hi, i did buy it but send it back the next day, found it too big for my taste. Also hard to operate the buttons and yes expensive for what it is. Settled on a W-86 now for sports and holidays and still using the f-201 daily at work 🙂

[@Csibu89]

Nah I would miss that red stripe running around the display :D I know, we watchnutz are not normal... But its that red stripe that I love most about my square GWM5610. It just gives it a unique pop of color, that i just love. This black-grey is just boring looking to me. And I don't need any more functionality than my GWM5610.

I had 2 1jfs , 4 x 5610 regulars , 1 5000u and one 5610u - it’s a raging battle which is the better - the monochrome 5000 for more or the 5610 with the splash of colour for less but with the same function but also not the same (screw dlc crown) .

[@carllange3950]

Out of my 5 squares, my GW-S5600-1JF gets worn the most, since it is the watch I choose when bicycling. It has a light weight titanium case back and a carbon fiber insert strap. I agree that my GMWB5000D-1 is too pretty to wear during rough activities.

[@None-lh5mx]

FYI, if you swap the carbon fiber strap to a regular GW-5000U strap, the watch will be even lighter by 10%.

[@carllange3950]

@@None-lh5mx I think the whole point of the ‘carbon fiber insert construction’ is longevity and strength. Beyond a certain point (my GW-S5600-1JF weighs 46 grams), I would not be able to feel a difference on my wrist. My GWX-5600-1JF, with its stainless steel back, weighs 56 grams. I can just barely feel a difference wearing them.

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 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?

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.

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.👍👍

Great idea man!!!

What's the difference between 5600ue and 5600e (both solar versions) ; i am considering to buy one of these , are there any better models out there similar to them????

[@KeepingWatchUK]

You know you’ve got a good channel when I watch no matter the watch! 👍🏻

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

You are very kind! There’s always a lol movement coming!!!!;)

[@frankyz007]

g schock DWG 5610 Solar radio controled. full stainless moded with a métal screen protection, it is definitely my best everyday tool watch. but this one could effectively beat it... thanks for this mad review as usual!!! 😎😎😎

[@stephenwolf8806]

If I was starting over again in my G-Shock wearing / collecting and I knew then what I know now, I would skip the 5610 and buy the GW-5000U and the GW-S5600U and call it good for squares.

The. Best. G. Shock. Square. Is. No. Longer. The. GWm66 10U. l. Found

[@andrei-n7]

5000U is double the price of the 5610U for only some marginal improvements, basically the same module. I'll stick with the 5610U.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

That’s a classic comeback from someone that has never handled a 5000 U my friend. Trust me once you go 5000 you’ll only wear 5000

[@johnwayne346]

I’m sorry this is absolutely crazy, 200 quid??? No not for me for less than that money you can buy a 5610 and a metal strap and bezel combo off Ali and build an absolute beast. And as for the basic 5600 Now going for 70 quid that is also looney tunes and I blame KZbin channels promoting these that has made them get to that sort of money and let’s be honest casio must bang a 5600 out for a fiver, sorry not playing ball ⚽️

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

No problem whatsoever these obviously aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@johnwayne346]

You’ve obviously been the victim of a casio mind trick………

Your wife. The eternally sage element in the watch community that brings sanity to the madness that is collecting. Perhaps a second KZbin channel. "The Sane Watch Critic".

Buttons on this watch are awful

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

It’s a G-SHOCK!!!

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR hahaha I love mine! I agree on the quality! is the nicest one I've had, and yet the buttons are G-Shockingly stiff :(

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

@ Isn't that a common thing with all squares?

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

​@You're right. I've seen comparison videos showing the button presses between the GW-5000U and GW-M5610U, and the latter has easier to press buttons.

[@eric2892]

Are the buttons any larger or easier to push than the m5610u? My dw290’s buttons are so much nicer in terms of pusher smoothness and size.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

It’s a G shock my friend so they are the same. It’s ‘protection’ ;) the DW290 ain’t a G but I love it!!!

[@eric2892]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR yeah, that’s possible, though I wish we could hear from Casio about that. What is the chance you could interview G-Shock product engineers on your channel?!

This review showed more of his face than the watches face or the watch in general 😂

How lucky are you?!?!
