THE SCREEN!! THE SCREEN!! Look how easy it is to see the screen!!! No murky , muddled, tinted obfuscation. I got one. I have others as well, that's how I know and appreciate the difference with this one.
Pretty much the nicest and most functional Casio watch outside of the G-Shock Line I have ever seen. Currently sold out on Amazon but Walmart has them for $33. I think I will pick one up.
I particularly like that the upper left button looks like it is fairly easy to use. I have two Casios where it is recessed and I find myself using a pen tip. Great review!!
Thanks for the video! I ordered mine shortly after watching this video! It was temporarily out of stock on Amazon, but as soon as it was back in...I nabbed it for $33. I like this watch more than I thought I would. The display is nice and crisp for an LCD.
i agree with you, however, cheaper casio watches tend to be less durable, ie their band brake after 1-2 years and replacement is problematic. but for casual beater case, these watches are great. you have to take case use and frequency into consideration vs budget.
Awe🎉some🎉 just copped one. The price for close-to 5600 form, some advanced functions and for me nostalgia! As a kid the ones with ILLUMINATOR on the light button was all we could afford and it was all that i needed. Welcome home, lumey
I am a big fan of this timer. I use it to time my stretches, where the beep every 10 seconds helps me track time and stay motivated to hold my stretch. And the auto repeat is great for moving to the next move without fiddling with my timer.
I'm a big fan of the DW-5600 G shocks and I own several. The big advantage of them is that you can replace the bezel if it gets beat up. You can also make a DW-5600 into a different color watch by replacing the bezel and watchband. Of course price is a big difference with the G shocks being more expensive, sometimes insanely so for special edition G shocks.
Been using this watch for a month now. I have the grey version with a negative display, and its a beauty! Only issue being the Acrylic crystal, got two scratches with mild usage.
i will always love my G-shocks.. 1st watches I had when I was broke. I still wear my black and gold g-shock despite having a Breitling as well.. thats dedication
Since the mid-80s, when the first G-Shock came out, I've only owned them. My first one was the first US available model and I think I lost it in the early 00's by leaving it in a hotel room. My second one was killed by drywall dust. It got in behind the buttons and caused the contacts to become corroded. My third one is my everyday watch currently. It's a GW-500A. I think I'm on my second band. I don't recall when I got it, but it's been at least 10 years I also own the stainless dress watch. My wife bought it for me as an Anniversary gift about 5 years ago. I don't often have opportunities to wear it, but it sure is pretty. G-Shocks are the best watches and I wish they would make an Android Smart watch for me.
Meant to be pretty hit and miss unfortunately with most users liking the display but not mad on the health tracking features. Seems pretty basic but looks very well. It's a square too
I recently bought the Casio AE-1000W-1AVDF. I paid $15 US dollars from Amazon for a used like new in a slightly crumpled box. It has the module of a Casio Royale with a round G Shock look. I got it because we will be driving from coast to coast through 4 different time zones. This has a convenient 4 time zone function. I have already ordered a canvas strap for it. At some time in the future I plan to mod it, probably color film over the World map and analog clock dial. Maybe hydro mod with Silicon oil. But I will finish our travels this summer before I risk disassembly. Enjoy your channel. We have a friend who a US Expat in Japan too. He teaches English to children in an expensive private school.
I bought my girlfriend a Casio LA670WEMY-9. I think the watch is great and would wear it myself if it weren't too small. It has a special feature where you can set a one minute timer with the push of a button. If pressed repeatedly, the timer increases to 3,5,10... minutes. Is there a bigger Casio with the same function?
I have seen a (white gold) gold plated version (with metal white gold strap also) at a jewelry shop. It was near $200 and looks exactly like this one. Stunning in a word. Not real gold but it was sold out within days.
Dave, you're wearing a long sleeve T-Shirt with the Open Heart T design, but I don't see long Sleeve T-Shirts on your site. Where do we go if we want a long sleeve t-shirt with the Open Heart T design? Thanks!
Nice watch from CASIO and nice review! Hey Dave can you take a look on the CASIO MTD 1053 D? It goes for 50$ here in Greece and it's a Diver with similar specs to the Duro which costs 75$ here and it is a great alternative to that. It's 41mm. I have one and it's a really solid watch apart from the bracelet and with proven water capabilities during my last summer and i have yet to see a good review for it which is odd given the great vfm. Cheers, love your work!
Great video man! I recently started this addicting journey like many people of collecting cool and very affordable Casio Watches and i have the F-91W on my list to pick up and i always wanted a G-Shock and this new model that resembles one might make me think about picking one up. For $40 it might not be a G-shock killer but it's definitely a better buy than cheap Chinese clone G-shock imitations out there.
Given the DW-5600 is nothing short of iconic, I can't see any reason to buy one of these over the true G-Shock 5600 when the price is essentially the same.
Thanks for the information, great music in the opening , nice choice. When i saw the bar on the screen of the watch , i thought here comes the complicated timer (like LA670WGA) but so pity it is not... so it is not a GSHOCK killer but a cheaper version of GSHOCK LOL?
The watch is very similar and with the same features as Casio w-737h. You can mute the beep, you can choose the 5 sec autostart or not (plus have a time when you want it to beep when it reaches that time), you can set the timer in seconds, minutes, and hours too (some watches can do minutes to an hour). The w-737h can be found for less than $25
I don't think you mention enough times that you live in Japan... joke aside, your videos are very well put together, the lights, editing and content very professional! This watch is another winner, do you know if the DW-291 also has dual time? thanks!
I scored a g7700 for around USD 45 equivalent in India.... So while this watch seems like a sweet deal, I would suggest waiting for a good deal to come along if possible. That said, i wouldn't mind going for SG100 over Gshocks, again if i get a good deal
Not sure about other folk but I could barely hear the beeping unless I had the sound way up which meant next door could hear you. Minor thing. Interesting trade offs & the dual time function on the home screen is nice.
Does the dual time function allow you to display the second time zone in 24hrs while the primary is in AM/PM? In programming/IT we frequently need to reference UTC time which is in 24hrs and it'd be nice to have this on wrist while having your home time in 12hrs.
great watch. I replaced the strap with a bracelet matching the casio royale and the watch took on such a character .... as if I had a robocop on my wrist 😉
the interval timer is actually amazing for Crossfit athletes, many wear g-shock in lieu of a fitness tracker the default beep at 10 sec left would make setting up tabatas easier too!
These new Casios are a step up from the previous offerings and that is great and I think Casio are the king of budget watches. Having said that I have found that since I got a more expensive watch I am not interested in wearing a Casio at all any more.
Can anyone point me to good watches that you don't need to charge and they do measure and display daily steps? I had Casio GBD200, so something similar maybe, in similar price range?
Is it just me or is the G-Shock a little to small in its dimensions. For example I have a SKMEI (basically a g shock copy, and a great one at that! It measures 51mm width on the bezel and about 46mm high on the bezel. The strap is super strong and has a width of 29mm at its thickest point near the bezel. When I ordered a g shock last week I had to send it back because it was just to small and feminine in comparison. Why do t they make them the same size as the SKMEI?
Oh man, if this watch had a vibration feature, i'd buy it in a heartbeat, alas, I'll stick with my w-735, even though repeating countdown is a great feature. Could use it as a reminder to take a break from work or as a hydration alarm, but Can't realistically have it beeping so often in a place where there are other people.
Although this gets close, to me, it can't beat my customized DW5600, but that's because I don't use dual time, replaced the odd sunken button with a regular one that's easier to reach, and got a NATO adapter and strap. Aka, that's no 33$ watch anymore.. 😅
I think it's too thick for a non-G-Shock and entry-level watch. Being thin is actually a useful feature for a tool watch. Given that it lacks the robustness of the G-Shock series, it should consequently be somewhat thinner.
The countdown and timer extra features with the beeps and repetitions and intervals would work amazingly as a training running watch. Those are the features you need for training and some people download apps for interval trainings To me those alone would justify the purchase
Make sure you check out Tim's review of this watch too: ua-cam.com/video/6qBoIl8EXps/v-deo.html
Dave, Thank you for referencing my channel.
I find it funny that Casio managed to get the screws aligned on the bezel of this $40 watch yet hublot has not managed the same yet
i don't think they're real screws here though, just looks like part of the resin case
Not even the Santos has this haha 😊
Found Nico Leonard's burner
Expected nothing less from a god tier brand mate. No matter how much their watches cost, hublot will never be on their level
@@arturoone77 IMO they lack functions
The call shout out to the smaller channel was very classy. Much appreciated.

Pretty cool Casio ! I still don’t think it’s a G-SHOCK killer but I do think it’s an awesome Casio to have
A budget "G-Shock" for budget people like me. I don't like it, but I LOVE it.
i agree with you, however, cheaper casio watches tend to be less durable, ie their band brake after 1-2 years and replacement is problematic. but for casual beater case, these watches are great. you have to take case use and frequency into consideration vs budget.
Dude, the timer and stopwatch were running simultaneously. That's a feature in itself.

Just love how you give credit to whom credit is due.
Is it easy to replace the strap on this model or do you need an adapter like a g shock?

You can also make a DW-5600 into a different color watch by replacing the bezel and watchband. Of course price is a big difference with the G shocks being more expensive, sometimes insanely so for special edition G shocks.
exactly, the g shock still has the raised bezels and mineral glass. If I want, I can change the bezels to metal.
Been using this watch for a month now. I have the grey version with a negative display, and its a beauty! Only issue being the Acrylic crystal, got two scratches with mild usage.
Is the negative display easy to see in different lighting conditions?
Hi. Is it possible to keep dual time screen as a main screen?
i will always love my G-shocks.. 1st watches I had when I was broke. I still wear my black and gold g-shock despite having a Breitling as well.. thats dedication

They have a smartwatch
@@gabrielviveiros6272 oh? A G-Shock Smartwatch? I'm going to have to get one for sure, thanks!
@GenXmonk yes just announced DW H5600. Classic G Shock with all smartwatch functionality.
My apple watch only last 5 years max😂

The variant with the negative display is really cool looking.

First time I see your channel and the most surprising thing was not the watch review, but giving credit to another ytber... really nice, sub.
Hey, thanks for the review, but i have a question what OS do you use since this is not mac or windows and it caught my attention.
Great !!! is it available in different colors ?
Hi, loving your content. I'm looking to visit Japan soon. Any recommendations for where I can buy Casios from the 80s and 90s, in Tokyo or Osaka?
I struggle to find an affordable Casio with Step Counter or eventually Heart Rate Monitor... Any suggestions? 💪🏼
Having access to the light with the push of the button is great
thanks for the awesome review! im looking into casio these days so this is spot on!
I got mine this week. I like it! Has anyone said anything about the size of your microphone?
I have seen a (white gold) gold plated version (with metal white gold strap also) at a jewelry shop. It was near $200 and looks exactly like this one. Stunning in a word. Not real gold but it was sold out within days.
Great piece. Love the Illuminator models for the same reasons you give, mini Gs
Dave, you're wearing a long sleeve T-Shirt with the Open Heart T design, but I don't see long Sleeve T-Shirts on your site. Where do we go if we want a long sleeve t-shirt with the Open Heart T design? Thanks!

seems a formidable watch to 5600... can a nato adapter be used to make using straps easier...
Is there anything in a sleek and smaller form factor than the G-Shock that has solar?
can you swap the strap?
Great job on the review, very concise. I've been on the fence about getting one until now. Amazon here I come!
10y battery life? That's insane! How resistant is it compared to the classic gshock DW-5600?
Can Casio AQ-230A be worn with formals, in job interviews and in office?
The watch is very similar and with the same features as Casio w-737h.
You can mute the beep, you can choose the 5 sec autostart or not (plus have a time when you want it to beep when it reaches that time), you can set the timer in seconds, minutes, and hours too (some watches can do minutes to an hour). The w-737h can be found for less than $25
That metal bezel design reminds me of the old Casio F-300.
I just bought DW-H5600. What do you think about it.
how does the DW-291HX compare ?
Just found your channel. I'm based in Korea and travelled to Japan a few times. Loving your content and thinking to mod my Royale
Does it has auto light feature?
what is this watch model?
Another great informative video, thank you ! I'm gonna order one soon.
This caught my eye when videos of this watch just start appearing in my feed. Definitely a cool looking digital watch.
Looks interesting. Have they made the alarm ⏰ audible?
Is this J.D.M. again? I can't get one in the American Midwest,Can l? How? Please be specific!
what is the difference between 1AV vs. 3AV?
I don't think you mention enough times that you live in Japan... joke aside, your videos are very well put together, the lights, editing and content very professional! This watch is another winner, do you know if the DW-291 also has dual time? thanks!
Is the casio g7700 good?
Super cool watch!! Thanks for sharing Dave😎👍
I wish they'd stop scrawling 'illuminator' on everything. Stop it Casio ffs!
I'd still rather have the DW-5600 which is my favorite inexpensive Casio but this watch is a strong contender.
G-Shock is a line of the Casio brand of watches. Your headline is like" "Ford made an Escort killer".
I bought one just recently with a negative display, nice beater watch.
I scored a g7700 for around USD 45 equivalent in India.... So while this watch seems like a sweet deal, I would suggest waiting for a good deal to come along if possible. That said, i wouldn't mind going for SG100 over Gshocks, again if i get a good deal
WHY DID YOUNLET THE TIMER KEEP RUNNING??? so frustrating
Not sure about other folk but I could barely hear the beeping unless I had the sound way up which meant next door could hear you. Minor thing.
Interesting trade offs & the dual time function on the home screen is nice.
can you make a video about a179w vs a158w ?
Well, at about 10 dollars more than what I paid for my W800H, this seems like a nice step up.
Awesome video! Once more thank you for video on Wise Ad8
Really good recommendation
The middle dedicated light button is good
Does the dual time function allow you to display the second time zone in 24hrs while the primary is in AM/PM? In programming/IT we frequently need to reference UTC time which is in 24hrs and it'd be nice to have this on wrist while having your home time in 12hrs.
Yes it can do that,when you are in dualtime mode just press the upper right button (reset) to switch between 12/24 h
Wonder if you can put this on a nato, think it would look great
Does Casio make a "budget friendly" analog type watch with a luminous dial?
Just ordered the one with the negative display, as that one seems much harder to find.
great watch. I replaced the strap with a bracelet matching the casio royale and the watch took on such a character .... as if I had a robocop on my wrist 😉
What is the strap width ? I want to get a new strap as well but I'm not sure of the size
Don’t know what g shock that’s killing but it’s still nice
the interval timer is actually amazing for Crossfit athletes, many wear g-shock in lieu of a fitness tracker
the default beep at 10 sec left would make setting up tabatas easier too!
What is this background music .. it’s so awesome
That amber glow is awesome.
These new Casios are a step up from the previous offerings and that is great and I think Casio are the king of budget watches. Having said that I have found that since I got a more expensive watch I am not interested in wearing a Casio at all any more.
Good review and video resolutions, yet it to the mic dude, I hear zero beeping sounds from the watch.
This watch is great for working out. I use it for interval training. It's awesome.
lol, reminds me of trying to use the functions. Good vid!
There's a similar model in the Casio Youth series. I think it has the same module. W-737H
I bought this watch as a rock climbing watch about a week ago. Still waiting for it to arrive 🙂
Could you make a video on the best looking digital watches
Can anyone point me to good watches that you don't need to charge and they do measure and display daily steps? I had Casio GBD200, so something similar maybe, in similar price range?
my casio SGW600H and seiko riders chronograph arrived today
Is it just me or is the G-Shock a little to small in its dimensions. For example I have a SKMEI (basically a g shock copy, and a great one at that! It measures 51mm width on the bezel and about 46mm high on the bezel. The strap is super strong and has a width of 29mm at its thickest point near the bezel. When I ordered a g shock last week I had to send it back because it was just to small and feminine in comparison. Why do t they make them the same size as the SKMEI?
The Casio W-735/6 Vibe Alarm is also a great cheap G-Shock style $40 watch 👍
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Oh man, if this watch had a vibration feature, i'd buy it in a heartbeat, alas, I'll stick with my w-735, even though repeating countdown is a great feature. Could use it as a reminder to take a break from work or as a hydration alarm, but Can't realistically have it beeping so often in a place where there are other people.
Im planning to buy watch like this as alternative to my previous purchased which is negative display havin a hard time reading even during day time
They make glass screen protectors for the GBX 100 and it would probably fit this MWD 110
I got the 5600 and love it. Do I need this watch? Hmmm, not sure. But the price does not hurt anyone's feelings.
Although this gets close, to me, it can't beat my customized DW5600, but that's because I don't use dual time, replaced the odd sunken button with a regular one that's easier to reach, and got a NATO adapter and strap.
Aka, that's no 33$ watch anymore.. 😅
Why did this video have to drop after I got my first watch the casio royale 😭😭😭😭
I think it's too thick for a non-G-Shock and entry-level watch. Being thin is actually a useful feature for a tool watch. Given that it lacks the robustness of the G-Shock series, it should consequently be somewhat thinner.

All the Casio watches alarm are very faint to hear it. They used to have loud alarms. I wonder why??
