The 6900 series was my first G-Shock ever, in high school circa 1999. As much as I love the 5600 series, there’s massive charm to the massive side of the 6900 series.

[@derekwalter4238]

Gotta agree with you here. My top three g shocks are the gw-5000, the gw-6900 and the ga-b2100. You get a little bit of everything with that combo. The screwdown case back made in japan fancy gw-5000, the casual comfortable beater in the 6900 and the lightweight bluetooth ana-digi piece that is the 2100. As much as I love all of them, I find myself wearing the 6900 more often than anything

[@nabilsh]

Your production keeps getting better and better.

[@Crybotenabled]

I just got both of these around new year and can't get over how much I love them. Can't go wrong with either. I ended up upgrading to the GW-5000 as my daily watch. I definitely don't have a problem establishing an emotional connection to either of these. We'll be going on a lot of adventures together.

[@BLR653]

I find the 5610 to be utter perfection. It is just so darn comfortable to wear it’s a classic. I also have a Rangman and find it clunky. This looks like a great option as well! Like you I have many expensive watches by G-Shocks are still super cool!

[@ripah62psn]

Well you sold me on the 5610u, ordered when I first saw this video and just received it today in the mail. Absolutely love it, my first G-Shock and it’s so cool! And I got it at a 50€ discount, lovely

[@wescobts]

What an amazing video, my life has been fulfilled !!! Seriously, My favorite watch of all time is the G-Shock GW6900. I'm wearing it as i write this Magna Carta of KZbin reviews. I was born long before 1995, so my words are weighted and true. Yes, on screen dual time, also i like 3 letters instead of two when displaying what day i am currently experiencing. The auto light (when i flick my wrist... to be cool after dark) I have sported the watch since 2017 and have not always been kind to it. It has been a great watch and it really has some nice battle scars. Again a great video, looking forward to your next one, be safe.

[@andyplace1785]

I have 2-3 luxury pieces but to be honest this 5610 gets the most wear time. Absolutely love it

The 6900 is my goto go anywhere watch, that I always grab and throw on when I’m just doing…stuff. She’s no oil painting, but it’s as tough as nails and oh so reliable.

[@SingleTrackMined]

Very good video. I love my 5610. It is perfect for what it is - a zero maintenance time/timing piece. You gotta love G-Shocks!

[@cdeaker]

My first G-Shock was a GWM5610-1ER. Still wear & like it. My only other G-Shock is a GW-5000U-1JF - more supple strap, screw down caseback & stealth looks

[@benwilkinson45]

My favorite G Shock of all time is the GW9400-1 Rangeman. It has all the functions with a great layout and logical interface. The 6900 (shown in this video) is my 2nd favorite and then the 5610U square. Thanks for the great video. Subbed.

[@bbb1985]

I had the 5610 at first and then tried on the 6900 which I prefer more as well. Both are great to their own but I personally think 5610 has that classic look and 6900 with its sporty look.

[@simonyu8838]

Thanks to this video, I just ordered a GWM5610u variant. I wanted a cheap beater travel watch to pair with my recently received Grand Seiko Mistflake and some of the updated features of the G-Shock module really tickled my fancy

[@krishnam5217]

Good for you. One day I'll buy a gs

[@sharkskin3448]

Of all the model experimentation Casio has attempted, I believe the 5 button, round G-Shock was the first true improvement to the Square original. Loved the vid!

[@mikes41720]

Right after I picked up the GW5000U as my first ever square Gshock! Great video!

[@shaunaharam6202]

Your video’s keep getting better and better. Keep it up!!

[@SteveFWatches]

Brighter screens are a nice touch but I also prefer the classic green. That green light is what we were raised on. Maybe this will make the original 5610 more collectible. the new one also has the best display for world time

[@khazelnut]

agree, would be perfect if the U version have the green lume. I picked the old one because of the lume.

[@folksurvival]

It's not green, it's blue.

[@m.halcyon5772]

Another cool feature of the GWM5610u, not sure if it was on the previous GWM5610, is that no matter which mode you are in, if you press and hold the mode button for 2 seconds, you hear a double beep and the screen returns to the standard time screen, darn useful.

[@zeminem35]

This function is available on a lot of other g shocks. I have a gbd200 and a Casioak and both have this

[@anyanon434]

Brilliant, as always. By the way, there is the Casio W-214H, the beautiful little gem. I call it best for me. Because of unique one-button activated countdown timer! Simple, genius and super handy, unlike all the other watches I've tried. Also resembles the 6900 a lot: shape, three eyes, the big center light button, but in a smaller package. No solar battery, radio sync or time zones, but they're not essential for me.

[@bingoberra18]

I´ve had my two GW-6900´s for some years now, a black one and a white one. Really like them in all conditions but in the office where theyre a bit bulky for the cuff. I mostly use my black one for the tougher jobs like building on the house or fixing the car.

[@jackdavis7438]

I agree. I got the powder blue John Mayer, it sat in its box for awhile. I didn’t plan to wear it, just wanted to hold it and eventually sell it. But I found myself drawn to it. Haven’t been able to take it off this month. I love it so much

[@Otreblarioma1]

I have this 6900 and a G5600E and I love them both. Also I'm a big fan of WatchGeek, great content.

I collect watches from $15 Casio Databank to $7,800 Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph, and I will tell you G-Shock is a favorite of mine to collect, but a real rabbit hole when it comes down to models and colors and functionality!

[@lucacadianalbert]

It's no surprise that I'm a big G-Shock square guy but I do have a 6900 in my collection and love it very much - even more so because it was a gift form a dear friend. Been thinking about adding another one to my collection. Nice to see your G-Shock collection grow!! 🤙

[@ChristianL93]

I just got the 5610U and I love it 🥰 especially because of all the different differences that are so different 😆😆

[@stevanoutdoor]

Being a long time survival instructor it's not surprising that G Shock is the outdoor and travel watch for me. Having way to much of them already (all solar) including the GWM5610 and GW6900 still recently bought the GW5610U. After watching videos decided I do not like the color of the new backlight but do like the rest of the extra futures as you mentioned. So I bought it as my last G Shock as I always promise myself or should I say excuse myself. ;) I love the square but having thicker wrists the wristband is a bit on the short side for me. The wristband on the GW6900 might be the same size but having a bigger case still gives me more room on the wrist. So those two are my favorite for sure.

[@burnikshrapnel]

Just got my own GW6900 a week ago. I totally agree with your assessment. Can't stop looking at the damned thing 🤣

[@vesselinkrastev]

I've been enjoying the GW-B5600. It's my first G-Shock. I have another radio controlled watch and it's a cool feature but, where I live, I have to place it in a very specific spot in my apartment so it can receive the signal. The B5600 syncs with my phone via Bluetooth so I can sleep with it and it will still receive the signal. And it still has traditional Multi Band 6 as a backup.

[@YourSoulDriver]

Nice video. This year I bought the DW-6900NASA237. I really like it. But, just as you, I discovered the GW-6900. And this video improves the chances I'll be getting it.

[@MrGeirSteinar]

Great video, I could watch quality G-Shock content like this for a month, at least if that month was January.

[@aritzartetaerviti2665]

Great video as always! I have The square GW-5600S with a carbon strap. Amazing watch.

[@alekies]

If the alarm function is very important to you, then a 5600 lithium model will work better, as the battery has a slightly stronger "kick" to it, will beep louder and for 20 seconds long, instead of 10 with solar model, which is quieter in comparison. I have solved the conundrum by getting a few of each kind 😅

[@rbgilder]

GWM5610u was my Xmas gift to myself. I love it compared to my Casioak. The time sync allows me to ignore those pesky tiny menus. But also pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of the World Time function and setting my default location. It’s terrific.

[@samnathan2709]

I bought a 5610 on your (and others) recommendation. Luckily I unknowingly bought the new version. Great watch and I wholeheartedly agree that it’s objectively the best watch money can buy, for me.

[@YoureTerrific]

Oh good, I'm glad I made that video years after I bought the watch.

[@samnathan2709]

On a random side note, I didn’t want to ruin my 5610 at work as I have a manual job (defies the point I know). So I bought an f-91w as they’re cheaply replaceable if damaged. Obviously it’s an icon, even with normies. But I’m surprised how much I like it from a purely watch nerd perspective, has everything you need and nothing you don’t, and an awful backlight.. quite amazing considering the design brief would’ve been: make it cheap

[@ajcallaway123]

Been down the same rabbit hole as you. Love my 5610, childhood nostalgia, but got a 6900 and love it, same nostalgic vibes. They get a lot of wrist time and far more than more expensive 'nicer' watches. Great video, thanks!

[@jesusgarcia9351]

5610U also shows current time in timer and chrono modes. Something that was missing in previous version.

[@YoureTerrific]

I didn't realize that!

[@drdesign6886]

One of the best features of the 5610 is the auto backlight when you lift your wrist to check time. No need for button at all.

The GW6900 has this feature as well.

[@jouwenlee7829]

I like to watch your video with your content delivery and the visuals. Congratulations to your new best/better G-Shock! Unsure why (maybe some past trauma) I hate, yes hate this G-Shock with all those ‘eyes’. 😂 I only have round G-Shock no square type. I can’t get passed myself for just paying a bit more to get all-juices-up-functions G-Shock. I expect them to be big and loud on my wrist. My favourite are Rangeman (GW-9400) for the price/functions/easy access buttons; Casio Gulfman (non-solar) because it’s small, quite slim and fully titanium body, screws (has been eyeing the solar version).

[@travisharrisphotography]

Great work, great video and great personality! I have both as well and love them both. The 5610U just showed up the other day, so that is the one I am crushing on ATM. But, the 6900 is great too, even tho I have tiny wrists, LOL.

This watch hasnt left my wrist since i got it a few years ago. The best is when the first layer of rubber wears off and the black layer starts showing . Once you go multi band 6 solar you dont want anything less.

Cool watches, I have them both. I also recommend, in a weird, nerdy kinda way, the DW350. A bit bigger, like the GW6900, but very wearable and odd looking. Wasn't convinced initially but it's ugly-cute, like an English Bull Terrier (love them too btw). Thanks. 😍

[@pizza.doctor]

haha, I have my date and month switched on my G Shock. Loved that when they introduced it in the metal squares. My European eyes are grateful

[@Sam_D]

I finally bought my first Gshock and it's the new Casioak (Gab2100). Basically It's an illegible watch cause I got the black "stealthy" one but I kinda like it, or the Internet tells me I should like it, or maybe I need some approval! Am I part of the G-ang now?! Got it? Or should I try harder next time?

[@fabiandee8178]

The GW-6900 looks cool (with the wider strap not the default skinny strap), is lighter than the original and has a useful timezone feature on the main screen but it is really annoying not to have the time displayed in the stopwatch and countdown modes. So if I wasn't going to use any of the functions at all and I'd upgraded the strap I'd wear this over a DW-6900, but overall, no, which is why I sold mine after a few months. Can't argue with the module in the GW-M5610U though, but I'd rather have a GW-S5600U for the same price as both of those watches you have.

[@MsCrash15]

I remember those g-shocks were the best You could own when I was around 4 grade in school 😂 I remember it was really cool to have metal guard on it … oh hood ol’ times …. I am going to buy one now, thanks for reminding me this 😊

[@dgross2009]

I have a few gshocks but in my opinion the best is the cheapest battery square which can be had for around $40. Takes a beating and not much invested if broken. Easy to change the battery when necessary and no worries about satellites and Bluetooth connectivity. Looks the same as the expensive squares without the extra cost

[@mlmperez1114]

I have small wrist. I love my gw5610. It’s a perfect fit. I recently purchased the gw6900 awesome watch I replaced the straps with dw5600 straps now the gw6900 hugs my wrist just like gw5610. The lug to lug under 49mm
