Just bought one thinking i get the updated model. Wondering if it was a mistake. As far as I can tell the green backlight is sleaker on the old model. I can live the the US format date and I don't care to see the time on the stopwatch. Am I missing any other differences?
I purchased the negative display version first and a few weeks later the positive display one. Both are great watches and after 4years of use here in the UK they have never let me down. They are built to last and are a must to have in your watch collection. With them being solar powered and Multiband 6 they are totally accurate. They are suitable also for a smaller size wrist too.
Got the negative display. I liked the design much more with the all black display. But: hardly to read in low light. Maybe i buy this red one model later, too 😅😅😅
@keithw361 I like both but wear the positive display the most and the negative display one when doing military duties. Both watches are totally accurate and being so light when wearing them are very comfortable. They are ideal field watches imo.
I sold a gm2100 after 6 months for a few reasons, mainly legibility and bought the 5610 and could not be happier with it. Perfect everyday watch, extremely comfortable, cool retro look and good price. Great review👍
Thanks for the review! Just bought my first G-Shock (GW-M5610U) to celebrate my first month at work. I used to wear Casio V-006 and F-91W back in college.
I remember the television commercial in the 80's of a g shock being used as a hockey puck. tough watch! I have a 5610 and love that it's battery never needs replacement. My other watches need almost yearly replacement
Been collecting gshocks for several years. I have 13 different variations of the 5600/5610/5000. This is by far my favorite color variation. Mostly because it looks like the first 5000 from 1983
It really does. Minus the brick pattern around the display this watch reminds me the most of the DW5000C. I wasnt going to get one of these because i have a bunch of squares and a GWX-5600 but i think i need to add this to the collection. I love the upgraded module.
This watch has really blown me away since getting it a week ago. My first ever watch was a GD-100 which I got just because my dad had one. I was 17 and didn’t even realize there were other options. Last year at 30 years old I got heavily into mechanical watches. Grabbed a Hamilton, some Seikos, etc. Eventually I started buying some cheap Casios along the way. F-91Ws, W93H, AE1200, and eventually a G- SHOCK DW-5600. These digital watches have 95% replaced the mechanical watches on my wrist and I’ve even got rid of most of those. The F-91W and the DW-5600 were the watches that I really fell in love with the most. I love the lightweight, comfortable, retro cool F-91. I love the rugged, simplistic badass 5600 in its iconic square silhouette. The GW-M5610u is 100 steps above the 5600. I absolutely freaking love this watch. It’s jam packed with useful features. Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6 are amazing features to have in a $100 watch. The backlight is fantastic, the world times and alarms are almost excessive. The solar panels in the watch give the display this interesting change of color in different lighting. The lug to lug is slightly more squat then the 5600 and it looks like it was made for my 7” wrist. I’m completely taken with this G-SHOCK. If you’re thinking about it, GET IT!!
This is a great watch, but I also like the DW5600e - the display on that cheaper watch is better than any other, including the 5610U. At angles you can read it, the 5610 blurs
It's nice to see that Casio has corrected literally all the flaws from the previous model, this updated module is definitely the best buy. I see people complaining about LED lighting, but that’s also an upgrade to the old EL. It may not look as attractive as EL, but in the long run it is a better solution if it has an LED, it has more operating hours and less energy requirements compared to EL
Exactly. People always find something to complain about. I used to have a DW5600e with the old 1545 module. I can say for sure the EL back light does indeed start to dim with use.
@@RobertNES816 True, I agree. I personally own both models, but the old module is a collector's item on my shelf, while this one with the new module I wear every day. I got used to the LED light, so even now it looks better to me personally than EL
The old EL just looks better and how much battery do you really save? Do you only have to change the battery every 10 years rather than every 7 years? I dont see how it could be that much considering it's solar and average use of the light isnt a lot.
@@maxmeier532 As I said, EL looks better, but it is not better in the long term. It's not just a matter of battery consumption. EL degrades over time, in the end everyone has something they like more and something less. If someone is bothered by the LED, try to find a model with an old module and the problem will be solved. I retired mine with the old module, now it is a collector's item. And as for whether I will have the battery for 7 or 10 years, I choose 10. G-Shock is not a watch that I wear for beautiful lighting, I wear it for its endurance.
I wish they included multiple CountDown timers. Otherwise, it's perfection. Mod it with off the market titanium bezel/bracelet, and you got yourself very nice watch indeed.
I love mine! What I like best about this watch is that it’s totally dependent on itself only. It doesn’t connect with a smart phone, which is what I was looking for, yet it keeps pinpoint accurate time. No plugging it up every few days and doesn’t go obsolete in 3 years. I want a smart phone and a RELIABLE watch. The only thing that I don’t like is that I can’t see the date in world time mode without going back to Home Screen. I wish Casio would have fixed that issue with the update. Regardless, I have the negative display version, but both are awesome! Buy it, guys! You won’t regret it!
Wow!! It works!! Now I don’t have to sacrifice my date in WT mode. I just swap the time out to whichever time zone I want to observe, then move back to Home Screen and now I’ve got my WT zone on Home Screen with the date! This watch just keeps getting better and better! Thanks again!!!
Nice to see that Casio has corrected the small issues the older model had. They also improved the sensitivity of how the light comes on when you move your wrist. The old model wouldn't always work. The LED light is also a welcome update since the EL back lights used to fade after a while or become dim if used heavily. Just ordered one, my old model is 5 years old and still works fine, but it's still nice to have a fresh G Shock 😄 I should also add that no watch will last indefinitely. Rubber seals will shrink and dry out, resin bezels and straps will dry rot and crack. Things that kill G-Shocks quickly are exposure to constant sweat and oils, anything corrosive, lots of exposure to salt water. This all breaks down the rubber gaskets and resin parts of the watch in a few years time. My co-worker for example has had his DW5600 for only 2 years and yet his bezel is starting to crack and his strap keeper has broken off. His strap and bezel also have that deep black shinny look that indicates the materials are about to fail. Meanwhile my DW5600 is 7 years old and still looks fine except for the typical wear from use.
I wear my watch high also, right on the bend of the wrist in fact, and because of that I've had issues with turning on a function that I didn't want, but I've never had that problem with any casio I own, that's one of my favorite things about casio
I love mine. It’s got everything. It feels like a quality watch in terms of the materials. It’s so accurate I set my other watches to it. 200m water resistance. GMT features. Looks great. And £70! That’s a lot of watch for the price.
Thank you for a very thorough review of the model’s functions. Everybody should have this watch. I also own the AWG-M100 for the times I would rather wear an analog piece on my wrist. Cheers.
Just bought one of these awesome G-Shocks.....To join the 23 other G,s I already own.....Love this Module, I have removed it from the Resin Strap / Bezel....And it now lives in a "Virtual Armour" replacement......It is absolutely stunning......One of the best watches I have ever purchased.....In a collection of over 350 !!!!!......It,s also the perfect Travelers Watch....Showing both your home time and the time in your current location together on the Dial......If you,re not after Thermometers, Barometers and Compasses......This is the one to get.
I had the non U version. Had it for 2 years and loved it. Except for 3 things. The light wasn’t on for long enough, the date was the wrong way round (Europe) and when I used the timer, I couldn’t see the current time. This model solves all these issues so I upgraded yesterday. I sold my old one and don’t regret it 1 bit.
I had the rangeman. It is this watch and a compass altimeter and thermometer. But I loved the classic look and needed this one too. Now no other G has the same value. They set the bar too high 😅
Ye the u version is right up my street, here in England i like the option of being able to change the date around from month to day to day to month, and the 3 second blue LED light as well, lasts longer than the green El light
My 5610 works just fine .. I don't need to update to the 5610U .. The auto LT works when it's dark .. it doesn't work if your in a well lit area would be a waste of time 🤔🙄 .. the EL back light is fine also no complaints .. had the watch since 2015 .. multi-band 6 .. no scratches ... it's my go to watch everyday .. :)
@@toddsmith8608 The old module was also Tough Solar and atomic, but had an EL backlight, no European date notation, only English on the day notation, and no current time during stopwatch/ timer use.
Been wearing this style for 40 years. This upgrade has just brought it decades more functionality. Great icon retro design. At the time I write this, you can get one for £80! Sale price. Bargain
its definitely the best ever casual watch you can get! If you can spend more money and suggest taking a look at the GW-5000U, mich better rubberband, screwback case design and no red lining on the front.
Great review!👍🏼 I own a few G-Shocks….Ga700-BR, GW9400 (rangeman) and a G7900 (rescue red) but the 5610-1 is my next purchase! The atomic time keeping is awesome! I live in N.-B. Canada and according to the graphics I’m right at the edge of Colorado tower range, my watch (rangeman) syncs almost every night!! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
I bought mine in 2010 its the best watch I've ever had the only thing I have had to do is change the band twice if it ever dies ill be buying a new one
Great review! I just recently returned a Casio ProTrek. I found it way too big with that temp sensor on the left side. Also the buttons would dig into my arm a little bit too. But I could never get the atomic time keeping working. I’m also in Vancouver and I tried different areas throughout the city. It just didn’t work. Showed L1 for low reception and then ERR and would never sync. Have you had any issues with the 5610? I’m considering getting this one instead.
I got myself a limited edition New Era/G-Shock DW5600NE-1 to add to my collection of G-Shocks. Looks perfect with more formal wear. The one your reviewing isn't as bling as the New Era but has far more features. Great review Pete!
The glass is glare so much. It is like miror"ish effect. Not just my watch...It even show couple time in the video. I don't know it because the solar panel, or something else. Other than that...this watch good.
I like the upgrades on this watch, the only flaw is the volume of the alarms and countdown timer, they are useless. Put the watch on, forget hearing it, even putting it up to your ear, even placing it on the table in front, can BARELY hear it. I have to use my phone for these, but I don't always have my phone with me when I'm doing chores and things.
Yes, the best one, but need to change bracelet from regular resin to plastic segments. Original Casio plastic segment bracelet cost same price as watch itself cost, but it much much much more comfortable. Try it! :)
They should make a choice to choose the Sync Interval: 1x a day, 1x a week, 1x every 2 weeks (that's enough), 1x a month. Synchro every night is kind of pointless.
In your opinion, what is the wrist size range for this watch? I have a 7 1/4” wrist and I think it looks a little small on my wrist. Still, I love the watch.
The only disadvantage to LED is that it might be too bright for some situations. Hunting in that 30 min period before sunrise, and after sunset, and other scenarios where you don't want to be seen in the dark.
I'm new to this world and how is this model different from a model like m5610e/r btw the most important thing to me is swapping the day and month position and be able to see time wether we're in timer or stopwatch mode
Bought this watch and set it up turned on the hourly alarm shot it being set but can’t hear it Is it me or do I have a defective unit Thanks for your help
It's a brilliant watch...just three things - backlight, viewing angle, and strap. All are ok rather than great, but as everything else is superb, it still gets a 9/10.
Me ne lasted 12 yrs B4 band broke(heavy wear) but it's been through surgery, diving in Caribbean at many sites.. deepest 110' and heavy snorkeling and daily showers... Looking to replace my Rolex self winding. Solar & atomic no worries.
I've had the older model for 15 years. An absolute classic.
Keep hold of it
Just bought one thinking i get the updated model. Wondering if it was a mistake. As far as I can tell the green backlight is sleaker on the old model. I can live the the US format date and I don't care to see the time on the stopwatch. Am I missing any other differences?
Just bought one. Like right after the video
Amazing, you will love it!
I just returned mine I wanted utc to be 24hr and nyc time to be 12hr
I’m getting one with negative display tonight!
Also just bought one on offer for £80
I'm guilty(not guilty) of buying one immediately after the video too.
NO REGERTS

Can these work for really small wrists?

it's great to hear how much others love this watch as well. I agree that it's simply a perfect every day watch, thanks for watching!

Awesome review and very informative! Thank you for taking the time to put together such an extensive review!
Thank you for the comment 😊
I just Recently bought the Negative display of this model. Sheeesh . It's so perfect day to day watch. You can't never go wrong with G-Shocks 💯
GW-M5610U-1B this is the model sir
My first G Shock since I had my first Casio in 1982.
Awesome price & humble timepiece..
Couldn't agree more!
I just picked this up on sale for $80. Easily one of the best purchases so far.
nice great price!
where?
@@cristianmp3 Both Bestbuy and Amazon Canada had it on sale for $80.
Got my first G Shock today! (5610u 1E) Really loving it. Think this will the only watch i will ever own from this day forward.

It apears from watching you use the watch that they made the adjust button easier to access than on the DW5600. That would be great!
Great review, bought one last week. Very pleased with it.👍
Great to hear!

I have a DW-B5600G! Very similar to yours has the same exact functions too. Love G-shocks!
I had the rangeman. It is this watch and a compass altimeter and thermometer. But I loved the classic look and needed this one too. Now no other G has the same value. They set the bar too high 😅
I plan on buying this model. Great review!
Thank you for watching!
I got one and think it’s great, a couple of colleges have mention how good it looks.
Great review buddy, thank you! Subbed to your channel. 😎
Thank you!
I will go with 5610U as my first G-Shock. I would like the 5000U but 5610u is on my budget. I am sure will be a good choice
Great choice 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Ye the u version is right up my street, here in England i like the option of being able to change the date around from month to day to day to month, and the 3 second blue LED light as well, lasts longer than the green El light
Love mine even more with the composite segmented strap on - makes it look more tactical and purposeful....
Casio should be paying you. Just ordered one. This and a dress watch is all a man needs I guess.
nice I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
My 5610 works just fine .. I don't need to update to the 5610U .. The auto LT works when it's dark .. it doesn't work if your in a well lit area would be a waste of time 🤔🙄 .. the EL back light is fine also no complaints .. had the watch since 2015 .. multi-band 6 .. no scratches ... it's my go to watch everyday .. :)
Nice
I would love this in white resin band. Hopefully casio would release one.
nice that would be cool!
i would like it in shiny bright babyblue 💙
It's awesome great functionality and fantastic design. Upgraded module is excellent compared to the old one.
I totally agree, I appreciate the changes this new module brings
what modul number has the new modul and what number the old modul ? what does the new modul do the old doesnt ?
@@PhantomWoIf new model is tough solar, atomic time keeping, and led back light

The old module was also Tough Solar and atomic, but had an EL backlight, no European date notation, only English on the day notation, and no current time during stopwatch/ timer use.

Outstanding video. Thanks

Awesome review! Thanks Pete!
Thanks for watching!
Nice review. I just purchased mine today
Hope you enjoy it!
Great informative video. Makes me want to buy one even more😂.
Go for it!

Better than automatic.

It is
Very cool. Great channel, good luck sir.
Thank you kindly
I have the negative display version. It's great. But I want to buy the positive display version also! 💪 🍻 🎊 🇷🇴, thinking about it.
I love everything about the negative display, except how hard it can be to read sometimes
@@sneakypetesproductreviews that's the beauty of it! 😅. It looks such in a great way!
just a god tier beater watch
its definitely the best ever casual watch you can get! If you can spend more money and suggest taking a look at the GW-5000U, mich better rubberband, screwback case design and no red lining on the front.
Nice I’ll check it out. I love the red lining myself!
@Cameras, Clocks & Watches yah I love the pop of colour on the face of this watch, not too much but just enough
My ride or die watch.
Great review!👍🏼
I own a few G-Shocks….Ga700-BR, GW9400 (rangeman) and a G7900 (rescue red) but the 5610-1 is my next purchase! The atomic time keeping is awesome! I live in N.-B. Canada and according to the graphics I’m right at the edge of Colorado tower range, my watch (rangeman) syncs almost every night!!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Ooh nice I want a Rangeman next!
I bought mine in 2010 its the best watch I've ever had the only thing I have had to do is change the band twice if it ever dies ill be buying a new one
nice which band did you change to, same one or something new?
@@sneakypetesproductreviews the same one because the snap after about 4 years

Only one thing I expect Casio to do. Since uses an LED, maybe could put one with a color like orange, green, blue..
What is the difference between 5610-U and 5610-1?
I got myself a limited edition New Era/G-Shock DW5600NE-1 to add to my collection of G-Shocks. Looks perfect with more formal wear. The one your reviewing isn't as bling as the New Era but has far more features. Great review Pete!
*YOU'RE
Just bought the new gwm5610U
The glass is glare so much. It is like miror"ish effect. Not just my watch...It even show couple time in the video.
I don't know it because the solar panel, or something else.
Other than that...this watch good.
Yah you get glare off of watch glass, every watch is like that
I love it love it love it. But it gets boring if you can’t swap it out now and again. It’s my favorite G
Variety is key!
I just bought a DW 5000-1 same colour but with the screw down caseback...
I haven't worn a casio since the 90's and they haven't changed that much
classics!
They have evolved a lot and improved on functionality!
I like the upgrades on this watch, the only flaw is the volume of the alarms and countdown timer, they are useless. Put the watch on, forget hearing it, even putting it up to your ear, even placing it on the table in front, can BARELY hear it. I have to use my phone for these, but I don't always have my phone with me when I'm doing chores and things.
I would love a louder volume for sure
Kinda prefer wearing this beauty over my gwg2k
This is my overall favourite Casio I own!
It's perfect for me
If I didn't have small wrists I would love to own one of these
What size is your wrist.. Would it be 2 small on a 8 inch wrist
@@MrHyabusa1300 naa i think it would fit fine
Yes, the best one, but need to change bracelet from regular resin to plastic segments. Original Casio plastic segment bracelet cost same price as watch itself cost, but it much much much more comfortable. Try it! :)
Its me again :) Best ever plastic bracelet for square G-shock used on Casio G-Shock GW-B5600BC-1B. Just fyi.
They should make a choice to choose the Sync Interval: 1x a day, 1x a week, 1x every 2 weeks (that's enough), 1x a month. Synchro every night is kind of pointless.
Why?
Yes, why is it an issue?
Anytime we can switch off the function RCVD . One month later we'll find the time 10 seconds wrong , more or less...😊.
@@claudiorossini-ii3hd oh no not 10 seconds 😮😮😮
great watch. I had one of the originals back in the 80s. This version suffers from textminia. Too much text on the dial. Takes away from display.
Does the GM2100 have the recessed A button like the 5600? That's one of the only things I don't like about that watch.
In your opinion, what is the wrist size range for this watch? I have a 7 1/4” wrist and I think it looks a little small on my wrist. Still, I love the watch.
Really not sure about that, I guess it comes down to personal preference
The only disadvantage to LED is that it might be too bright for some situations. Hunting in that 30 min period before sunrise, and after sunset, and other scenarios where you don't want to be seen in the dark.
if you turn off the auto-light, the watch will only illuminate when you press the button rather than automatically which might help in your case

I'm new to this world and how is this model different from a model like m5610e/r
btw the most important thing to me is swapping the day and month position and be able to see time wether we're in timer or stopwatch mode
Bought this watch and set it up turned on the hourly alarm shot it being set but can’t hear it
Is it me or do I have a defective unit
Thanks for your help
tough to say, I mean if it’s on you should hear it
It's a brilliant watch...just three things - backlight, viewing angle, and strap. All are ok rather than great, but as everything else is superb, it still gets a 9/10.
love mine!
Me ne lasted 12 yrs B4 band broke(heavy wear) but it's been through surgery, diving in Caribbean at many sites.. deepest 110' and heavy snorkeling and daily showers... Looking to replace my Rolex self winding. Solar & atomic no worries.
Awesome!
Going to buy it soon
great choice!
