Nice video. I’m wearing mine right now and I wear it almost every day. I love everything about it. The comfort, accuracy, lightness, the look, toughness. It’s the perfect watch for me and possibly the best watch money can buy you!
They are amazing value for money. I’ve been wearing mine with the metal G Shock mod on and off in Jan. I still love it. Even with the mod from Ali Express it’s only just over £100. Tremendous watch. Thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
Welcome to youtube, great watch to start your journey here.
Thank you so much and thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
Very informative, straight to the point. Just what I want from a review video.
Thanks so much. That means a lot. Back on them again today. It’s been too long. The ⏱👨⚕️
Excellent review. Ive been wearing the gw-m5600 since 2009, few battle scars but works perfect. They really are fantastic little watchs.
Thanks for the compliment. Yes amazing through and through. Look out for the Casioak review I’ve got coming soon. The ⏱👨⚕️
A great watch is chosen for the first video. I love my gw-m5610. Being in the north of Stockholm, I need to put it by the window at night to synch with the atomic clock. But, the accuracy is pretty good even without the synchronization. All the best for the channel.
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes it is a great watch I love mine. Thank you for your kind words
Excellent debut video. Thank you for posting
Thank you so much. I’m trying to do more but hard when working full time. The⏱👨⚕️
Great little watch. Some say the only watch you will ever need. And they are not mistaken.
Absolutely. They’re amazing pieces of kit. The ⏱👨⚕️
Fantastic watch love it so much I bought a blue and orange variation from Japan.. They look very unique... Best watch in the world for me....
I completely agree. I wear this almost every week if only for rugby or DIY. Awesome watch. The ⏱👨⚕️
A bit late to the party, but I ordered one of those stainless steel bezel/bracelet kits from AliExpress and put it on my GW M5610 (identical to the one in your review). Definitely makes the watch look snazzier and I personally have always liked the feel of a steel watch. Well worth it, in my opinion.
I really like it too. I switch back and forth and wear the rubber strap version at rugby. Very robust either way. Thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
Yorkshire! I read all James Herriot’s books growing up. I have about ten Casios. It is an addiction, but at least at least it is a cheap addiction.
I have one g shock with this module, 3159. But mine is the GW s5600, the one with a titanium back and carbon fiber strap. I think it is the lightest g shock.
Wow. I need to check that out then. Thanks. The⏱👨⚕️
Great watch amazing revew thanks!
Thanks for the comment. I agree. I love mine and wear it at least once a week and always will. The⏱👨⚕️
Hi TWD, Nice video! I have had a dozen G Shocks over the years and sold them all, mainly because of the annoying unreadable negative displays. I currently have an Apple series 7 watch and a Garmin 6X sapphire, both in my opinion very good watches. This watch seems a good buy, but seems a little small, compared with some of my Casios. How do you find it? By the way, and this would need to be verified, I have read that these watches, with the number 3495 on the back of the watch, allow you to change the date to UK format. Thanks again. Terry Davis
My first g-shock is gwx-5700cs..and i love it.
Personally I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. They’re a great range of watches for the money. Thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
nice to meet you!
And you too. Welcome to the community
Thank you. You too
What is the difference between 1er and 1jf?
The letters I think 🤔
I'm getting one for my birthday 😃
Yes a great investment I think. The⏱👨⚕️
There is the new model where you can change the date format according to your country
Nooooo 😯 have you got a reference. That would make this watch perfect for me. The⏱👨⚕️
@@thewatchdoctor yes new reference has U at the end. GW5610U. You can watch here a video with all the new upgrades ua-cam.com/video/hu_J3difFag/v-deo.html
Good luck ! Regard from sunny México
Thank you very much. Great to know I have people from around the world subscribing. The ⏱👨⚕️
Had this watch for a number of years now, it’s been to both the Artic and Antarctic plus a number of war torn countries. Never, ever, has this watch let me down. The best watch you can buy, simply can’t be beaten. One bit of advice if using this watch in hostile environments, Black out the white lettering.
Wow. That’s amazing. How have you travelled to all those places. Yes it is an amazing piece of kit. The ⏱👨⚕️
And some are willing to pay thousands for e.g. mechanical Rolex which can stop with it's first drop on the floor. :D
The gw s5600 is pretty blacked out.
@@thewatchdoctor I’ve worked for a number of years as a photo journalist throughout the world.
Hi Ian I’ve just bought this watch.
Wow that’s great. Happy to help people choose. What do you think of it? The ⏱👨⚕️
@@thewatchdoctor I love it. Wakes me up every morning 6 am with Oscar Man tune. Bought it before saw your vid 😂
I have this watch for a month now - it's my first g-shock and I really like it. I have a small wrist I sometimes I'm not sure if it;s there.
Yes. I love mine too it’s very light. It’s also really useful too. Amazing value for the price
A real shame you can’t get UK date format, dd/mm is annoying.
Yes very frustrating. Every now and again they make one with a module that you can change. For the sake of a little algorithm being written into all modules to allow this, it seems strange that they don’t bother with most of them. Frustrating.
Funnily enough I wore this again yesterday and it had been bugging me all day, I laughed when I read your comment. 😂. The ⏱👨⚕️
Got mine two weeks ago. It's awesome, unfortunately I can't receive signal to Bulgaria even though it's Europe. Anyway, I couldn't find anywhere which year is this particular model/design created, where can I find information on that? Thanks
I’m not sure. But I think it’s definitely in the last 10 years for this model. The ⏱👨⚕️
@@thewatchdoctor Just found out it says the release year is 2011 on a site called shockbase where it has all the g-shocks's release dates and info.
You should be able to pick up the DCF77 signal from Mainflingen also in Bulgaria. Just set your time zone to BER (Berlin) and place your watch face down with the 12 hour position pointing to north/west before going to sleep. The time zone setting is important, because otherwise the watch could try to receive from Anthorn, England, which is too far away. For example the ROM / Rome zone means receiving the time info from England.
can you show the year too?
No. Not on the screen. It’s obviously inside as it needs to know about leap years etc, and you need to set the year if it doesn’t connect to the multi band. But it doesn’t display it. Thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
I ordered mine off Amazon and I unfortunately did not get a tin. I was actually looking forward to it too. I love the watch though.
Do you live in the UK? Surprised you didn’t get a tin. The ⏱👨⚕️
@@thewatchdoctor I live in the US. I’ve since got a steel square and got a tin with that one.
I have had the gw6900 for about 5 years but i really like this watch and i would much rather prefer something which slides easily under my sleeve so i am strongly considering buying this but not sure how much i could get for the 6900. Nice review by the way
My recommendation for something that slide is easier under the wrist would be the Casioak. My review should be out in the next week. It’s much slimmer with all the great G-Shock features. Thanks for the comment. The ⏱👨⚕️
@@thewatchdoctor thanks for the reply ill keep a look out for your next review cheers.
Hi how long dose alarm stay on seen outer video saying stays on for as long as u want mine stays on for 10 seconds and how do u set it for AM morning alarm thanks
Definitely can’t get mine to go off for more than 10 seconds. Do you mean AM alarm instead of going off in PM?
Good man cheers for reply and yes I set it this morning for work never went of
@@ryandudgeon782 hi there. Are you still having problems? Did it come with a manual. If not, you can find it here support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3159.pdf
@@thewatchdoctor cheers pal figured it out after that thanks for your reply
Great deal on Amazon US right now $77 , just got it.
Wow. That is a bargain. The ⏱👨⚕️
That's cheap... I pulled the trigger on it... $92 still alot of bang for the buck
I want to asked something..i actually bought these watch online. The problem is in power save mode, my watch wont blank its screen in dark surrounding. Even battery level also not consistent. After a day at outdoor, battery is High but tomorrow it becomes Medium..is this normal?
I don’t think it stays on high for very long. I guess it’s the equivalent of having a full petrol tank, technically after you’ve driven a little while, it’s no longer full. I think therefore it goes to medium quite quickly to say it still has room for more power if that makes sense? Regarding the power saving mode I know that it won’t turn the display off between certain times. I think it’s 6 am to 10 pm. Because it assumes that most people will be need to know what the time it is during those hours. I hope that helps. The ⏱👨⚕️
Thanks for your reply..right now i want to share my progress with these watch. I left it in my cabinet for a night in dark space. When i open it on next morning these watch screen actually do sleep in power save mode. I've found in a blog, a user shared that gwm5610 actually got a 3-axis sensor which detect your movement. I test during my sleep, power save mode does not blank its screen maybe because it detects my movement. Somehow my theory is gwm5610 power save only works when you laid off from wrist and left it static in dark place. Battery level also great, right now after a while at outdoor it maintains 'H'.. maybe my watch from seller's old stock. That's why it need some time to get accustomed 👍🏻
Where did yoy buy?
This one was from Amazon. They always creep up in price, so I’d buy now if you’re interested. The ⏱👨⚕️
Mate I just spent $300 on one. Definitely not a beater watch.
Wow. $300? Where was that from?
@@thewatchdoctor From JDM, but that includes shipping etc to Australia 🇦🇺
