the circle is complete! You are not a watch collector until you buy a model twice !!!!👍🏻‼️

[@spicydragon3881]

I have 3 square G-Shocks (like chips, you can't have just one). When I first saw the all metal square G and the price I thought they must be crazy, who would ever buy such a thing. Well...after a bit with my other squares I did just that. I have not regretted it for a second. I absolutely LOVE this watch. There is just something about it, its one of those things you just don't understand it until you experience it. It has become my primary go to when I go on vacation, it can do anything, go anywhere and always looks great doing it. Plus no one wants to steal it, like a Rolex. Others have moved in and out of my watch box but this one is here to stay. Thank you Russell for another great, entertaining review. Keep up the good work - Cheers.

[@savage1764]

I too have three g squares. I love looking in my watch case and seeing the three perfectly synchronized Gs. 🙂

[@007qantas]

Gorgeous G-Shock square. I`ve had mine for a week now and absolutely love it. Got to be the most beautiful watch in my G-Shock collection. Would highly recommend this watch to anyone.

I really love my 5610, but recently picked up a 5600 for $40 and popped it into a $100 black after market titanium case and bracelet. It’s very nice 😊 light weight and inexpensive.

[@roadgent7921]

I really rate the 5600E and I own half a dozen squares including the JDM GW5000u.

[@Rakerong]

Haha that's what I did, too. I wanted the metal kit on the 5600 instead of paying the price of this one.

Stellar! What a looker. The price seems nuts compared to the resin, but at least it looks like they put every cent of it into the case and strap! Thanks, Russ! Enjoy!!👍

[@wikster6630]

Really enjoy your reviews! This one is my 3rd Gshock in collection. It has an auto light function as well, hold light button down until you hear a beep and when you lift your wrist to view time the light comes on for a few seconds. Cool feature and not all Gshocks have that, 2 of the 3 I have do and really helpful when it's dark. Cheers

[@michalmarek77]

I don't care about watches. Not at all. But i love how you admire, describe them. I literally scream out of joy every time you publish new episode! Outstanding show! Keep it alive as long as possibile!

[@stevanoutdoor]

Very entertaining as always. As survival instructor and traveler the G-SHOCK GW-M5610U-1ER is the one for me. The GW-5000U-1ER is an option if you are ok with a bit more weight in return for a metal inner case, screw down caseback and higher price. This all metal one is more like a dress watch if you still want the statement made you are also an outdoor person or just love G-Shocks. Other than that it does not add anything and you can't even see the status of the battery. As a dress watch I wear a hand wind field watch. But truth be told. As only watch this would be an option.

[@radioclash84]

This has been my only watch since 2019 February. It is robust as all good shocks are. Dropped it few times. Gets dirty I was it and let it dry. The thing I like about it is it looks and goes under the radar but also doesn't feel plasticky and throw away. One slight criticism in the beginning was it looked too shiny. But I have gotten used to it now. Wish they did a matte version of this.

[@HJ-vs7lf]

they do make a matte version but its a MRG

[@brunosco]

They now have the “recrystallised” one, but still much more expensive and with a negative display (higher contrast STN LCD as well, though).

[@HJ-vs7lf]

Yes, the price is nuts compared to the resin. But for the much more 'tech professional' look, it's tough to beat.

I’m a firefighter and I wear one of these daily. It’s scratched up and has taken a beating, but it never fails.

I had this watch about a year ago and loved it... except for those end links. I also have 6.5 inch wrists, and just could no longer stand looking at the space at the corners of my wrist. Sold it and don't regret it. I now have the yellow tough solar, which fits like a glove and it scratches the G Shock itch.

[@davidcharlton6170]

Subscribed to your channel... I have just bought the G-Shock GWM-B5000D-1ER today... It is watch number 28 and is the final watch in my watch collection... My watch collection is now complete (Until I see another watch I like ) I paid £351GBP for this watch. It is my 6th G-Shock .. It is a stunner but as you so rightyly said... I would not fancy wearing it as a "Sports watch" It is too "Fancy" to get scratched up. I am very pleased with the GMW-B5000-1ER Made in Japan too.. This is a bonus. This watch feels premium quality For my everyday wear, I still like my no-nonsense iconic Casio F91W (If you can turn a blind eye to the awful backlight) If it gets broken and "Scratched up" I will just buy another one for £10.99 Thank you for this video and indeed this channel. Going to have a catch-up on your old videos... Kind regards David

[@chrisbradshaw7708]

I like it from afar, just don't think it would work for me. Still on the fence about that GM2100-1A. I love the look but I honestly prefer the functions on the GAB2100-1A.

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Fun video. I think it's fantastic. Wouldn't wear it as a beater, but to work in a semi formal office, a nice night out, etc., it works well. That is what I think of it, it's a casual everyday watch you can use most anywhere and use it like you would any analog steel watch. A bit expensive, so I bought a full stainless steel homage from a local Orient sub brand. I wear it everywhere, even with a suit! Thanks for the great video.

[@marcparnell8233]

I was really lucky to pick one of these up in as new condition, boxed and all for £200, it's definitely niche but it's a great addition if you're a g shock fan 👍

[@gymbobjoe1091]

Russell, the watch doesn't look big on your wrist at all. Just invested in one of those for my daily wearer. Can't wait to pick it up and get it on my wrist. Love Gs, love a bracelet, this thing is perfection to me.

[@cewotu7721]

Great review. And very funny, as usual! I owned this one, too, and returned it for its weight, later bought the blue one with the resin strap, gave that to a friend, and went back to my Rangeman. Great watch, though! Thank you.

[@lukthere2]

Local shop had a discount for the 40th anniversary and got one for 320€ new. Not as heavy as i thought it would be based on some of the reviews (which is a good thing). It's just really nice on the hand, super easy to adjust and looks great. Really awesome watch.

I have the 5610 bc with a rose gold mod kit on love it, but I just had to get me the 5000 in full metal so just ordered one from the same place as you on special offer now for £351 so couldn't resist comes tomorrow, I own about 30 watches all mechanical recently brought the casio oak the green metal with green strap and love it then saw the 5610 on ebay with the mod kit for £100 in mint condition so brought that so that got me to buy this watch having mechanical watches all the time it's so cool just to no that my casio 5610 blows the lot of the out the water with how accurate the time is with the mutiband 6 feature. I was going to get a 5610 and buy the silver mod for it would of been alot cheaper but after watching your video and you talking about how good the fit and finish is and the screwdown back made my mind up. Keep the great clips coming your the craziest one on KZbin for watch reviews, love it cheers mate

I just got a used Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000D-1ER today for £220.Decent price and i love the watch, unlike my 5610!:)

[@HecatombRecordings]

Bought and sold this watch after a week because I wasn't sure I liked the weight and was constantly worried about scratching the polished finish = not very G-shock. It's a stunning looking watch and the STN is the sharpest of all positive digital G-shocks. A few months later I'm regretting my sale and want to repurchase - need to learn to relax and just love it.

[@sengo2143]

5610 has much better display

[@marklin3849]

Thank you for featuring affordable watches. I do not own a G-Shock but I do own 2 Casio Protreks (a PRW3510 and a PRG110T). Both are still working except for the outer latch on the clasp of the PRG110T (the main reason I bought a PRW3510 then removed the original strap and replaced it with a Nato strap). I also find your quirky videos more interesting to watch.

[@zibel5007]

This watch is a beauty for any square fan indeed. I was checking this one at a retail store this week. The dial looks really crisp, I like the fonts, the case and the bracelet look great too - yes it is blingy, but in a proper way... But that's the worst part! I just couldn't imagine using this one like my other classic resin squares. They're like Mike Tyson in the ring - I don't necessarilly want their face to get beaten up, but I won't worry much if they do so, because they can handle it. And I'd absolutely hate to have the metal square all scratched up, but what's the point of the g-shock tech here then? That's what I was thinking while checking them, so I saved me these 500 bucks in the end.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

No probs! Agree this isn’t a G you beat. It’s a Paradox GShock. A G you know would and could take a beating but you’ll never know how tough it is as you’ll never wear it in those situations!!

[@tubeboi2802]

you seem like the type of guy who would enjoy an anniversary edition square with the original square styling.

[@williamallison2150]

I did a similar thing with a black metal bezel plus some jay and Kay’s adapters and a nice aftermarket fkm rubber strap.

Russell you’re an absolute legend mate and your nutty enthusiasm is another level, especially for G-Shocks!

[@ic5319]

Nice review, I've looked at this watch a few times myself but just can't justify the $650 Canadian price tag. However I did get the Sanda 390 homage for $15 and for that price it's a decent watch - it's surprisingly comfortable (and interestingly the end links angle down a bit further than the G-Shock so it fits nicely). It's just a basic digital watch, no bells or whistles, but it does the job. Maybe one day I'll pull the trigger on the real one, or even better the titanium version ($4000+!!!) Or maybe not, my wife would kill me :)

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Hell yeah! Check with the wife!!! I couldn’t pay anymore than I did for a Casio you could get in resin for 100 bucks.

[@brianmsahin]

My wife has killed me many times, I'm like a cat, however I may be on my 9th life at this stage. Another good option my friend, is get the resin one and buy a nice stainless steel mod kit for about $80 on Ali Express, they're very good quality and it's just us$180 including the watch. You could get it and you might live to see another sunrise! 😂🌅

[@Gabriel-um6el]

Come on man, don't mind the wf opinion. If it's your valuable hobbie and passion just do it! But to justify it more, save the coins over time! It will be worthy

[@brianmsahin]

@@Gabriel-um6el Very good point Gabriel but joking aside it's not really good value when you can get the resin one for $100 and mod it with a nice stainless steel mod kit for around $80 you can have virtually the same watch. But that's just my opinion of course, some people want the real one!

[@diydad7704]

Buying homages seems like a smart idea at first but believe me, you get bored of them. On a homage level suddenly you can have any watch you want and that takes the fun out of saving, researching and ultimately buying the one watch you REALLY want. 60-80% of the hobby - gone!

[@Dr_Doe]

The fixed 1st link problem is real, for smaller wrist. The squares' lug to lug is already almost 50mm. If you want full metal with better fit, check out the G-Steel series esp. the B400 or B500.

[@minirock1980]

I upgraded my GWX-5600-1JF with a titanium case and bracelet and it makes it so much more wearable

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

That’s cool! I’ll look into that one!

[@Xanduur]

There is a OEM resin strap that you can use with this, and it really lightens the weight

[@jonasnaeyaert3738]

The lack of sapphire is not by design; they sell other metal G’s for even more money (+1.200 GBP) that do sport sapphire crystals. So it’s classic cost-cutting.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Agree Jonas!!!!

[@Zanza555]

The full metal takes a while getting used to, I got mine 3-4 years ago and I’ve worn it off and on, I keep coming back to it now for some reason and I can’t get it off my wrist, it’s the most expensive watch I ever bought as I bought as a sort of congratulations to myself and I treasure it, it’s perfect and does everything, looks cool, perfect time, never dies, cracking piece 👍😁

I bought one with black metal case and black resin band, I have replaced the glass with different model and now it looks like the first gshock released in 1983, I have full resin one too, because it is the best option to have both watches, metal and resin, and both of them are worth buying.

I got into watches in 2020, in isolatalion when I had covid. Until then my only watch for years was a Fossil Coachman, bought by my wife. Never cared avout watches, as I thought " I have a phone". Somehow I started watching Time Teller videos, bored in bed. And the THV, and then Teddy. In 10 days I knew more about watches than I ever did. And I wanted a watch of my own. Although mechanical watches were prevalent in those videos, everyone praised Casio and GShock. I got into mechanicals and automatics butI remebered I use to have some kind of digital watch at the begining of the 90' , most likely a turkish knockof of Casios back then, in Eastern Europe. So I got into Casios. Bought myslef the F91w, and then I fell in love with Gshock. The 5600. and then I found about the metal ones. GWM B5000s. And the rare beauty that is the IP aged version.GMW B5000 V-1er. Fell in love at first sight. A more cyberpunk, retrowave, blade runneresque watch I haven't seen ( well with the exception of Harrison Ford's Microma in the movie). It is in my opinion the best version out there of the metal G square. There was only one problem. Being limited edition oer 300 per zone, they were already out of stock and the second maket was even mkre expensive than the oricmginal which was about£900. almost double than the black normal version. I got myself that one, and even that I was thinking was quite a bit of money.However my wife was still seeing me watching pictures of the patinated one. Unbeknownst to me, she already bought it for me, she was just waiting for Christmas to give it to me. When I finally got it I was over the moon. it is just a gorgeous watch. At the moment is part of my " 2 watch collection", alogside the Christopher Ward C60 Saphire, another superb piece. It's my office and business watch, everybody that I meet is like wooah, all others being Tagged and Tudored and Submarinated :)). It's my winter watch. It's my adventure watch. It's my perfect watch.

I do like this metal one!. I also like the resin one. The difference in legibility at extreme angles doesn't really bother me so much. The price difference is big though. You could get the look by modding it with a nice stainless steel case and bracelet, $80 all in and convert your resin one. That's $180 including the watch!

Legibility is much better on 5610.

I have 7 and 1/4 inch wrist and have no problem with those male end links I think 7inch wrists should fit also. They look weird, though curved but that's the Casio.If they just made female end links. The GWB5600 is a way to go if you do not mind resin, 350-500€ for GMW5600 (depending on color) is just to much IMHO. The plastic bracelet on GW5600 sucks, due to links length for me was either to small or to long despite micro adjust. I ended buying third party metal bracelet and bezel.

Pure and functional #art ❤ Thank you #Gshock and #Japan for my beautiful MRG B5000❤

[@patrickriarchy6054]

I always just felt like it was almost a spiritual successor to the classics that you mentioned. Just a more contemporary version that was new and improved.

[@WATCH-4U]

Love your reviews its such a beaut of a square fully loaded too !!! think the gwm5610u is an absolute all rounder at a great price

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@nitina8564]

Your reviews and videos are fun and informative at the same time. This is beautiful watch and i hope you enjoy it this time.😉

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Very kind of you my friend! Thanks for your support!!

We all have been through some changes since 2020 it’s a different world and mindset now

[@darrengibson8787]

Seriously thinking of getting one of these if I can find one and brushing the entire watch. Not a fan of polished steel. Have the resin square and it's epic.

[@jonnyholmes5580]

I took some sand paper to mine and turned the polished to brushed. Much better.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I had a very similar experience with this watch as you. When it first came out, I bought it, didn’t fully appreciate what it was and sold it. Just this week I have put in an order for another one and I am certain I will keep it.

[@adampeach2047]

Serious G love Russ, 1st watch I bought in the 90’s was a DW8900, or Mr G in full metal, amazing taper on the bracelet, a bit of a fat boy but nobody”s perfect 😂, definitely a precursor to this beaut, gotta love those chunky pushers!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Adam! Appreciate you watching the show! Yeah that DW looks tough!!!!!

[@tyronrossouw44]

I sometimes enjoy the review more than actually finding out more about the watch.

[@TheFROG338]

great episode again...i like many others bought from ali express stainless steel/chrome case for my 5610,s...love em.

[@VmanStudioz]

very well reviewed! Just picked one up. It's awesome on my 7 1/4in wrist.

[@maxlvledc]

Man, I'm feeling really good about the $270 I payed for a barely used one. Cheers!

[@hgr.7857]

Started with a DW5600E for 40. USD to allegedly scratch an itch. I was a fool; rather than satisfy an urge, it cracked open a new door. Immediately wanted the DW5610 forb110.00 USD, fine. Now trying to justify spending 250.00 USD on the DW5000🇯🇵 with that sweet coated module & laser etched, screw down caseback & metal internal chassis 🤩 Outstanding vid as always 💯 edit: it's somehow like better, or at least a perk of ownership, that only a watch person would notice or care about the differences, and part of the fun in having them all. To most folks, they'd just see them all as the same basic digital watch 😏😉😌 Real recognize real 👀

Bought the GMW B5000 last Christmas on an offer where I got a discount of £120 on it. Absolutely, and totally worth it. I think of it as a more "dressier" G Shock, as the GW M5610 is my Casio F91W if that makes sense. The F91W and the A168 on my 20cm wrists look as if I've nicked them from my missus or my nephew, as they look too small and weedy for me. Got an absolute behemoth recently in the for of the Casio "Sand and :Land" edition, the GX 56 SL 4ER which is very over engineered if you thought a normal G Shock was hefty enough. Funky red and black colour, that looks like meat. Brilliant.

[@Happyland_Motel_Gamer_Cat]

[@GucciBootz]

I bought a full metal digital from Japan (ebay purchase) similar to the one in the video. My case backing isn’t straight, it is crooked so the text doesn’t align with the text and buttons in the front. I did look at photos online and that seems to be somewhat normal. Just hoping someone could shed some light. Also, the seller on eBay did not include the warranty card

[@ashleystyles6888]

After years of wearing watches costing anything from £2000 to £8000 (I had a great job) I decided to wear a g shock mudman (possibly the cheapest casio). All the expensive watches have a massive flaw. All of them. The PIN "securing" the strap. The Casio has never fallen from my wrist. The omega Tudors etc all did. I'm getting a budget swiss watch for Christmas. A TW Steel. I hope this doesn't have this problem. It's highly likely I'll be wearing the Casio again in the new year.....

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Ashley!!! Well it’s not a surprise! I just bought a Mudman!!!! Which one do you have ! The G’s do have a size flaw we gotta be honest haven’t we! Not many understated ones!

GW-M5610. Not DW-5610

[@anthonystevens8683]

100% agree TMWC, if you don't already have a G-Shock then you're in for a err... a (G) shock! I have this watch but I got mine after already experiencing G-Shocks (I also have the solar 5610 that I purchase some years before). Call it a dress version of the 5610. When you first put this watch in the wrist outside it's so shiny that you feel you'll be attacked at any moment by an ever increasing number of magpies on the way home from raiding a jewellery convention but that's only because it's a G-Shock. It's a keeper.

[@RobplusPiper]

Great video!! I purchased the GWB 5600 and it is literally the same exact G-Shock as the 5000, to the T. I can buy a mod case for it from SKX mods that is much higher quality than Casio is. You should compare these two watches to the 5000 instead of the 5610…
