I love the fact this 5600e looks like the first 5600c! This is a G shock classic, a timeless piece from the throw back 80s . It's tough it's got enough functions for most? 200m water resistant and cheap! This is about as good as it gets for a daily sport utility watch!
My 5600 bezel got damaged but still its is running without issues, even i haven't changed the battery from 5 years.Perfect one for day to day rough usage
Recently bought the 5600 and it keeps amazingly accurate time. I have only one other Casio that has stayed accurate ever since I set it two months ago, it's the F91. These two are iconic in my eyes. Thanks for the great review.
I should add the battery life on these on average is about ten years believe it or not. I bought. Myself a 5600e and my Dad one about 8 years ago. They're both still running perfectly fine today. I've used the EL back light fairly often but only for a few seconds each time. The alarm and other features I've used sparsely over the years. The band and bezel have held up very well on mine. My Dad's shows more wear but is in no way ready to be replaced just yet.
That's great. Casio usually mention their battery life spec lower than its real life normal usage, but I didn't imagine it can last that long. Thanks for letting us know :)
I love this watch, own this one. 2nd affordable GShock sold in Indonesia; DW9052 being the most offordable one & DW6900 being the 3rd. Suitable for my small wrist. Has vague tactical aura that comes with it (historically it was watch of choice of US military personnels & NASA astronauts), yet at the same time can be used in formal office settings or even can be used for casual settings such as beach party. Appeared in many films including used by Keanu Reeves in "Speed", Steve Carell in "40 Years Old Virgin" (he is an office worker/manager here), and Jake Gyllenhaal in "Jarhead". Also lot of spare parts available (bezel, strap, etc) even if it's bit expensive. In conclusion, I don't regret owning it since 2022.👍
Indeed, one of the best and comes with affordable price. Cuman satu yang sebenarnya agak bikin "kesel", bukan salahnya Casio sih, adalah: yang jual KW nya banyak banget :D
@@SamsWatchReview Yg jual KW nya lebih banyak yg tipe DW5600BB (all black) kayaknya Pak.😁 Bahkan dijual Rp 35.000 di toko online. Tapi DW5600E sepertinya jarang / nggak banyak KW nya.
Thank you so much for this review ... I collect Casio digital watches... I have yet to get this watch...However, it is next on my shopping list .. This watch looks good. This is a good video
This is my favorite watch. I looked down the rabbit hole of mechanical and luxury watches and brands but after seeing how much they cost and the upkeep it wasn’t for me. For the price of this basic g shock even if I had to purchase a replacement it’s not a huge expense.
I have no experience with the G5600UE yet, but from the specs, looks like the 5 main differences are: tough solar, LED backlight+ auto, world time, 5 alarms, and button mute.
Maybe still okay up to about a 6-inch wrist. Anyway, you might want to check out the slimmer line-up, the GMD-S5600, which is basically a similar model but comes in a slimmer case and uses LED backlight.
To be frank, I don't have any Mudman in my collection, so I can't give an exact answer. But in my opinion, the buttons are still easy to push, although not as easy (and also well protected) as the buttons on DW9052.
Bro, wrist size saya cuma 16.5 kira-kira recommend ga dw-5600 ini? Mau masukin g shock ke koleksi saya cuma kok masih ragu ya? Kalau yang GMD-S5600 bezel after marketnya gak ada yang metal dan baterai nya juga CR1616, hidupnya lebih pendek. Saya pilih dw-5600 karena mau ganti bezel.
Sorry but I don't have any gshock tough solar in my collection as comparison. But usually, a counterfeit will have subpar details, a different thickness, and much less weight.
I don't have an exact answer for that. Watch service charges will vary from place to place, and honestly, I changed my watch batteries myself. The battery itself is not expensive, about 1~2 USD :)
As much as I like G-shocks, I want to start a wave of rants against the worsened accasibility of the ADJUSTMENT button. It only prevents the extra functions from friendly use. The chance of it being pressed by mistake is statisticaly very improbable, I recon. But many of us use stopwatch on daily bases. This ingenious out of this world secure safety almost brings me to tears with its inpracticality. Casio please! Remember the Zen master throwing some leaves back over the raked garden.
Thanks for bringing that up. Yes, the stopwatch and CDT reset are assigned to the recessed adjust button, which reduces its ease of use. I'm using CDT a lot and found the same (if not worse) issue with several models, including the iconic (non G-shock) DW290 :D
@@SamsWatchReviewhave a question when I put my watch underwater right? Why is there a water mark on it when I wipe it will not be gone? Is that normal? And also can you press the light button if the watch is wet?
Not sure about the watermark, maybe it's under the bezel which is removable. And about pushing the button when the watch is soaked/wet, generally ok :)
@@SamsWatchReview so if it’s wet you can press the light button or it’s also okay to swim underwater and press the light button is that okay? Will the watch will be broken
I bought one recently but I've already returned it. I'm not saying it's a bad watch but I found it too chunky and maybe I would have got used to it but when it comes to features and comfort my Fitbit I can also wear when swimming and it's just as tough. I also found the LCD display small relative to the size of the watch and therefore difficult to read. These are retro digital watches and they may look cool but actually compared to a smartwatch they feel just as dated as an old analogue/mechanical watch.
I wore a smartwatch for a few weeks and after the novelty had worn off I went back to wearing my Casio, I found the smartwatch to be utterly soulless, it was just like wearing my smartphone on my wrist and was a complete distraction of constant emails, messages and sleep updates ect. The only thing that the smartwatch gave me was a bigger appreciation of my Casio watch collection .
Personally bought the solar powered version of casio G-Shock DW 5600 watch... Utterly disappointed with brand Casio G-Shock! Just after 3 or 4 months of normal usage ( No swimming, No Diving, No Extreme water Sports, No Surfing) it developed fog and water vapour inside the glass disrupting the time view. I went to the Casio Service centre but the service center people bluntly told me that there was no option for replacement. They also shamelessly told me that their watches are water resistant and not water proof. They said they never claim that their watches are water proof in their advertising also. They simply changed some parts and dried the fog or water vapour inside AND after a few months the fog and water vapour inside the glass RETURNED. What a Waste. 👎 Had it been the case of putting the watch under extreme conditions , it is understandable, but the refusal to replace the watch under normal conditions seemed callous and unprofessional on part of Casio. Utterly disappointed by such a big brand LIKE CASIO AND G-SHOCK with big & HOLLOW claims! 😒
Absolutely not overpriced by anymeans. Its G-Shock and for 50$ Its great and has awesome specs. Japanese movement doesnt stand for anything in that price range. In Finland this watch cost around 100€ to 130€

Yes, that's one of the word I should have used to describe this watch: timeless.

It should be just fine :)
Bro does it have Auto LED on in tilt without pressing any button?
Nope, it doesn't :)
@@SamsWatchReview So brother, in which model do we get the option of auto LED back light?
Check the GWM5610 or GWB5610 :)
New variant have auto El led 5600 UE
What's the major difference between 5600 E and new variant 5600 UE and also did you put any screen guard on the display?
I have no experience with the G5600UE yet, but from the specs, looks like the 5 main differences are: tough solar, LED backlight+ auto, world time, 5 alarms, and button mute.
Does it have auto light features?
No, it's not
does it look well with small wrist?
Maybe still okay up to about a 6-inch wrist.
