Hey YouTubians! It's Tony here with another believe it or not UA-cam video for you to enjoy. In this video we are taking a look at a well loved G-Shock Square Digital Watch, alternatively known as the CASIO G-SHOCK GW-M5610U digital watch, that we picked up from the recent Argos Autumn Sale.
As is customary with any reviews that we undertake on the We Try Anything channel, we will be looking around the CASIO G-SHOCK GW-M5610U, talking about the materials used to make up this watch. Then we will discuss the design of the CASIO G-SHOCK GW-M5610U, show you some of the features built in to this popular Casio watch and then pop it on our wrist and say what it is like to wear.
Hope you enjoy the video!

It's one of the best watches ever made.
Totally agree!

As a hospital security officer, mine is a must for me. I use the pinpoint accuracy time to review camera footage, and the multiple alarms are used for specific door locks that have to be secured at different times. I use the negative version because I wear all black, and it looks great! I don't even have to sit mine in the windowsill because the tough solar battery indicator always stays on high. I'll never wear any other watch, especially not one of those supposed "smart watches" that plugs into the wall, which ultimately becomes unreliable when push comes to shove, and I get the code greens for combative psych patients. This baby holds up! Great watch that’s 100% self sustaining!
Well said! I like smart watches, but every time i think about charging it or even see that battery bar go low, it pisses me off lol also not to mention that "smart watches" are meant to become obsolete. Every few years you gotta upgrade. Such a waste of $. I really like ProTreks but they're too big and not as comfortable. I do a lot of wiring circuit boards for my work and my arm keeps getting dinged with either the buttons, or sensor on the side, or the crown on the other side. I'm debating if I should go with this 5610. I think it's the best solution.
I’m mostly with you both on all this, but to be completely fair you can do all those things with a smart watch also. Apple Watch (ultra especially) for example one will be 100% accurate time always because your phone is synced, which is the same as the atomic clock. You can still set multiple (actually unlimited) alarms and they’re actually also quite durable. Ultra has a solid 2 days of battery life, but you can just put it on a charger next to you when you sleep and you’ll always be solid. Even better is something like a Garmin which has weeks (months even) of battery life at least.
The main thing with this is even more durability, which few people truly need, and basically infinite battery life. If you charge your phone every day you can charge your watch.
I agree that it’s a phenomenal choice, and it’s fully zombie apocalypse ready, but really all these arguments don’t really make a lot of sense.
I should add, regarding durability, that these have mineral crystal faces compared to Garmin and Apple Watch Ultra options with sapphire crystal. So while the body is maybe more durable in some regards with the G shock, at least cosmetically, the face certainly is not. But the difference is it’s like a $100 watch so it’s easier to replace.
exactly! this is the watch for every human.
@@Cortezumasmart watches track your health better. Aside from that they are a pain in the ass. If the screen cracks you’re in for an expensive repair (durability). They don’t hold a charge longer than a week (a few days for some). I have a smart watch and feel way more liberated wearing mechanical/digital watches.
Besides the aeguments here in the comments (accuracy, toughness, solar power etc.) I got mine for the design.
As an 80s child, I find the design timeless and every time I check the time, I also take a glance into my childhood.
Totally agree with you there. The Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U is stunning in terms of design and if you are into digital watches, especially as a child of the 80s, it is the must have for any collection.
Thank you for commenting and Merry Christmas!!

To me its a perfect watch. I use it as a daily, wear it all day every day. Light, tough, classy timeless look and cheap. I just find beauty in simplicity of this watch. The only time I wear something different is when I need to dress more formally. I will never sell this masterpiece.
The VERY BEST G SHOCK, as a company Casio, has ever created. Period.
Next is the "Mudman," the latest addition. The only thing "Mudman" is missing is the tide chart, for us modern fishermen around the world.
One of the greatest watches ever made,and i WILL die On that hill happily tougher than any rolex,more accurate than even a grand seiko spring drive, seriously, there's no situation it cannot handle.
It has no real rivals,or even equals except other g-ahocks.
Its untouchable ans unbeatable
Period,
It’s only accurate once a day.

I set it up the first day and never touched the settings again ever since, it's the only watch I don't need to do anything on it, super good.
Good review. Perfect time. Infinite battery. Perfect legibility. And you can drop it on a tile floor without freaking. A PERFECT WORKHORSE WATCH
I have the exact same problem with most (all?) Casio straps.
It is either too tight or too loose ...
Thx for the review!
Justvbought mine today. I always wanted this and now I have it! I love it. Not too small but large enough. It’s just a watch that I must have.
I purchased the GW-5000 I had to send it back, If you are 60 + like me you wear glasses for reading but also like me you don't need them when you are out and about walking, well then you will not be able to read the watch time without putting your glasses on, great watch if you don't wear glasses.
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
It's my every day watch. I love it cause it's a watch you never really have to care much about. It charge itself, it fixes the time shift by itself so it's always the exact time, it's resistant. The time signal isn't received every day but with the kind of time shift it have, once a mount would still be enough. I found that it strangely works better way up north in Canada far from cities even if you also get far from the tower. I just wish they would do a casioak version of it with more colors to chose from. Yeah, it's not a popular feature set these days. Casio seams to prefer bluetooth connection witch I don't like case the day the app is deprecated, your watch will loose all those cool features including the time setting. For me, radio is the way to go.
I had the same problem.. Till I Put the watch Face down on a table at night and it will have better reception or even press the reception button and face it down on a table for 5 minutes and it should work.. It's worth a try
This is the best watch - automatically sets time each night and is very light. The viewing angle blurs the digital numbers a bit when you move your wrist - unlike the cheaper DW5600, but this is an awesome watch!
It is a great watch! Hopefully getting hold of the DW5600 soon so it will be good to see what that is like in comparison.

Great watch. Got mine from Argos last year and paid full price but still happy. Just picked up the mrw -200 in the sale which I highly recommend for everyday wear
I got this model last month and it is my daily driver.Cracking little watch!
It is an amazing watch and for the money you can't beat the GW-M5610U as a wear with no care daily driver.
Thank you for commenting and Merry Christmas!!

Very interesting. I have owned the 5610U for 2 weeks.I paid exactly 100 euros on eBay
then tempered glass film for the display for 5 euros, I am satisfied,
Some say the 5000 would be better, but it is more as twice expensive.
I’m new to the watch game and I just got this one. I love this watch!
Its a great starter Casio G-Shock to own!!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
if you have a Rolex and M5610U, you will fit in any event in your whole life.
Nice review! I have the previous version of this watch and I'm pretty sure it arrived in a similar matte black/gray. Over time though, it has darkened to a satin black, with I think looks better.
The watch you review is the new version (module 3495) wheras the linked and shown watch is the older version (module 3519) with lesser specs.
Thanks for spotting that, I shall update that link.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
Love this watch. It started my love for all the squares
I love also how the solar panel looks under sunlight. The purple is cool
8 Casios in my collection. My 5610 is my favorite, most comfortable watch on wrist.
It is a great watch to have in the collection as it just does everything that you would need for a watch to do without it being connected to a smartphone.
Thank you for commenting.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
I own the original 5610's both with the positive display and the negative display. Both are great watches. Although I enjoy wearing mine I don't think I can justify purchasing this one as I am quite used to the month end date layout common to nearly all Casio digital watches. You really don't need any other watch as the 5610 has everything you need.
Yes, there is an app.
I live in Europe and the radio-receiver works even in the south of Spain.
I love this watch but it has the exact same module as the GW5610U which is less than half the price. I just bought the 5610U and I am happy enough as a "4 screw user".
Would I prefer the 5000U? Yes! Unfortunately, I have Champagne taste but beer money.
I think I'll steal the "I've got champagne taste and beer money". Thanks 😂
I've just ordered a Solar watch charger for mine, it should come in handy over the winter months.
Got mine from Argos as well. Top value.
You can’t beat Argos for value when they have a sale on Casio watches, especially with what you can buy the Casio G-Shock GM-W5610U for. Great watch and a great place to buy from!
Happy New Year!!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
Well worth it! My everyday beater, set it and forget it watch. Always accurate, battery always full, cheap enough so one don’t care very much for it. Not that it could be destroyed easily. I have this for every day and GMW B5000db for special accasions.
I own watches that cost x10, x20 or even more. but this is the watch I wear each day... this is probably the best watch that was ever created. I own two, and I also own GW-5000U, because from time to time I would like to switch. Incredible watches for money... If you have $100 or $200 you should definitely buy one of these two... But even better = buy both...
I think that this is a good watch and have been happy with mine, but I still prefer my Casio w-800h as it is a very comfortable watch to wear and has a much clearer screen layout, it’s tough and last but not least it’s a real bargain at £20 ish.
...and more useful buttons , and good 10 years battery module , but...😢no mineral glass and no metal clasp...
Great Great watch, I think is the best G-Shock ever made and can go as far is the one and done watch!
I think it is a great watch also and the ideal watch that contains everything that you could ever need on your wrist.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
It's timeless. Great review
It is and the Casio GM-W5610U has a lot going for it in terms of features as well.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
I have the Bluetooth version with the navigation desplaiy which is not easy
To see but I love the features of the watch one is the reminder which you setup in the casino app also you can mark your position on the map when you press the button to set the timer if you don’t connect to the Bluetooth for a few days it will automatically use the radio signal has long has the watch is next to a window
I think it's hilarious that a $100 watch can outlast rolexes and omegas when it comes to toughness and durability And not to mention how more accurate it is.
I love this watch but i have a little issue whats easily fixed but super annoying the lcd module is slightly crooked took it back swaped it and same thing so is this a common flaw?
Not too sure I am afraid as the one featured in the video seemed fine to me!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel yeah that's what I was looking for and yours seemed perfectly straight maybe I just got unlucky twice lol thanks for getting back to me
I remember getting sweat under watches with plastic wristbands, is this also the case with this watch ?
Any good? It's the only Gshock you'll never need !
I loved the look and feel of this watch but as I said before on some of your other videos I just couldn't hear the alarm signals. This was frustrating as the button presses were quite audible to me but there was no way to increase the alarm volume so therefore no point in having multiple alarm functions. How did your ears find the volume. By the way I bought the Casio AE1200 from our favorite store for £21 and can plainly hear the alarm tones. Perhaps it's all the additional shock proofing that deadens the volume on the G-Shock!
Thank you for commenting and glad to read that you went ahead and bought the Casio AE1200. It is meant to be a great watch and I am looking forward to getting hold of one very soon. I can believe that I didn’t include the volume of the beeps in this video as I must admit I was surprised how quiet it was. As you said it must have been the extra protection that deadens the sound. Will try and remember to do it when I film the G-Shock GW-M5610U’s tutorial video very soon.
Hope you enjoy your Casio and again thank you for commenting.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
The G-Shock GBD-200 is a larger square with vibrating alarm (plus some Bluetooth “smart” features that most people turn off). It’s nice looking (really nice display) but the 2 yr battery is holding me back.
Casio makes GShocks with vibrating alarms, so that might work for you.
Great watch, I have the same module, want to upgrade to steel version 5000 u!
I have a few Gs.
The 5610u is part of the collection and up there with my favorites but I had to go one up and got the GW-5000 1JF and that IS THE ONE TO RULE THEM ALL !
Funnily enough I have read another comment that has mentioned the same G-Shock GW-5000 digital watch. I will have to try and get hold of one in 2024 and hopefully have that ONE WATCH TO RULE THEM ALL!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
Agreed I have the same GW5000 1JF Japanese domestic, it's worth the extra, and feels premium.
The 5000 costs 3x as much and its heavy and unnecessary for most people, plus it dosnt look as nice without the red stripe.
I have the 5000 as well, the resin case and strap is far better, but the buttons are a bitch to press. The 5610 is the beater of the two. Its is an amazingly good value for money watch. Unbeatable quite honestly.
Picking up the ae1200 when it’s back in stock on Wednesday as well
Looking forward to getting one myself, but I may get the resin banded version as opposed to the one with the metal bracelet from amazon, for a little bit more. Hope you enjoy yours!!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
I have mine🎉

Took my watch back to Argos for a refund as in the winter months the solar charge can be a problem as Not into keep having to remove watch to sit watch on a window sil to try to get a winter charge which got on my nerves after a while
I have GW-M5610U-1CJF
There's no mode for 2ndary time to use 24Hour time?
Coz I have it on my Timex digital.
On my main time 12H
2ndary time 24H
Either version you get, you will be happy with. The month/date issue: The US standard order is better for those naming computer files: "year.month.date". It's just simple to glance down and see the correct order on your watch.
£79.99 from Argos!! That's around €95. I'd have been all over that. It's a pity Argos has closed in Ireland.
It was a great price, hence why I had to jump on it. Argos offer some great deals on Casios from time to time and I am sorry that they are not in Ireland any more.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel Mine just arrived in the door today. €127. Looks great though!
I love this watch. I just don’t wear it a lot because I’m on the fence with how it looks on my 7 1/4” wrist. Maybe too small?
Too big? I wear it on an 8" wrist and find that it wears well
What models do you like (Casio or otherwise)? It seems to look good for most reviewers with a 7” wrist, but I suspect the height is more noticeable irl.
I think you should pop into your nearest watch shop and see if they have one for you to try for size. I like it's sizing, as it isn't big and cumbersome and fingers crossed I do think that it will fit on your wrist very well.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel Oh, I own one already (love it). Thank you for the confidence. 🙂 I think I’m just so used to wearing larger watches it looks small. Optical illusion on my part. Cheers.
@@dubester1982 That’s good to know!
Very cool watch!!!👍👍👍
Without starting the video (no worries, i'll start it right away): OF COURSE IT'S ANY GOOD!!!!11!
It's the perfect every day beater for the money.
However, the watch is only surpassed by one other Casio in my collection: an upgraded Casio Royal AE-1200 in stainless steel and sapphire. Abolutely worth it.
Ha ha very true nearly all Casios are very good and the GW-M5610U is the perfect daily beater watch! The only exception for me was the Casio AEQ-110 where I found it a bit too busy for my liking but that is only in my humble opinion.
I have just got hold of the AE-1200WH and I have to agree with you that is it simply stunning and I am looking forward to modding it in the new year!
Thank you commenting and Merry Christmas!!!

@@wetryanythingchannel And Merry Christmas to you too from Germany :-)
Casio Royale is great, but it lacks Tough Solar and Multi-band 6.
@@StardustLegacyFighter, and that‘s a shame :-)
Is the strap issue a hole spacing problem, or does it pinch at your desired tightness? Do you have this issue with other g-shocks? Sorry for all the questions… I’m doing a lot of research!
It is only a gripe for me as I have a weird wrist fitting hence why this watch is either a little too tight for total comfort or just a bit too loose for my liking. This is only in my opinion as what I find loose other people may see as the ideal fit. Your best bet would be to try one on and see what you think.
The other G-Shock I have is the Casio G-Shock GA-2110 ET which fits really well.
Don't worry about the questions and I hope my answers help in some small way!

Does the watch synchronize the time to Algeria automatically?
Just synchronise on PAR (Paris) . The hour is the same to France .
Hi, could you tell the difference between 5610-U-1ER (the one u showed) and U-1JF?
I am afraid I can't correctly advise the difference between the two but if you have a look via a Google search from what I can see there are a few forums discussing the differences.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,

Pretty sure the 1jf is the negative display version
@@GotSawst is 5610 slightly bigger than the 5600(non multiband type)
5000U is the newest and best.. Metal screw back

Cheers,
Tony - WTA
In that price range the 5610U is definetely the best.
But the 5000U is a great watch of course.
The heavy weight of the 5000 must feel nice. I really want it but can’t afford it right now
I bought one a few months back, but unfortunately had to return it back the very next day.
It's just way too small on my 7.5 inch wrist, and the proportions just don't look right.
That being said it's still a fantastic G-Shock, and easily the best value model available.
Just buy a garmin instinct and you get all of the functions and more...
Jag har den här klockan. Finns bara en sak som är dålig. Ljudsignalerna är inte tillräckligt i ljudnivå. Man hör dem inte. Vanligt numera på digitala ur.
(Google Translate) Precis som det du har nämnt, tyckte jag att larmet på denna klocka var lite av en chock med hur tyst det var men tydligen finns det ganska många G-Shock-modeller som är så här när det gäller ljudlarm och hur tysta de är.
