Good video. Solid timepiece. Two things. 1. It should be noted that this watch has a negative display. Under low light conditions, the watch can be hard to read unless you have good eyesight. 2. I did not know what the flash feature was for a long time. With the flash function engaged the watch will flash the LED/EL on and off as the alarm sounds or when the countdown timer is in use and reaches zero - this would allow you to know about an alarm/countdown timer in an area with high background noise or for a hearing-impaired person.
I just wanted to note as well that the DW5600bb has an electroluminescent light and not an LED. If you want an LED in the traditional square shape, you'll have to grab a GMW-B5000 (I love the fade-in/fade-out LED lighting on mine).
@@dteun On the Module 3229, I believe you press the top right button (closest to the date display) while in time mode. A "star" looking icon will activate above the seconds to indicate that the flashing alert function is on.
I want to add , if you're over 40; this isn't the watch for you. I have no problems in low light conditions and in direct sunlight. So if you complain about the display, it's your eyes and not the watch.
The ER version is made to only be sold in Europe. It's the exact same watch, there is no difference other than the market for which it is designated to be sold
My vote goes to the bb for sure. In my experience, the ms1's display isn't as high contrast and can be difficult to read in all but the brightest conditions.
@@lucasnakata7146 If I'm not mistaken, the dw5600ms1 and dw5600bb are the exact same size (although I know the GW-M5610 is slightly smaller than the DW-5600, so it really is possible I'm mistaken). In my experience though, you really can't tell the difference even between the DW5600 and GW-M5610. I only discovered there was a size difference from another review where the guy measured both with calipers.
wearing the GA2100 stealth version, now thinking about getting these. would be nice to have a stealth collection of g shock.
I have exactly both ga2100 stealth black and 5600bb. Worth it. The only gshocks i own lol
Got ga-2100 as a gift and just bought the 5600bb on sale 🙂
Nice
Its the favourite model of the g-chock inventor.

@@CoffeeMadeMeSay Agreed. I find the display pretty crisp, but my dad can't read negative displays without a flashlight.
Good overview, love your voice too.
Why is the battery life so low? GA 700 last up to 5 years with the same battery.
And gd 100 - 7 years battery life
Or gulfman 9100
Ehat is the difference between 1DR and 1ER?

How to turn off beep sound on button please
Long hold bottom left
Im between this and the dw5600ms1...its a tough choice

@@chrisswatchbox7378 thanks man. Im also worried about size difference, but they seem similarly sized...anyways, im probably going with the BB :D

Thanks for the video .unfortunately out of stock for my country
I just paint blue g shock wording
auto light or not
No. You need a GW-M5610 series to get auto light in the basic square shape.
Gotta have tattoos to wear this watch.
Black is beauty, but definitely not on skin
Lame 😒
John-Michael Kobes The only thing that is lame when you bought a fake casio watch
Agreed
too basic, small display, gshocks are getting obsolete, can't be worn in formal ocassions. I'd settle for a decent smartwatch instead.
dumb boy
Another sheep with a smartwatch. Don’t be like all the other sheep! Get some style & get a Casio G-Shock square!!!
And a decent smart watch is hundreds of dollars more so what's your point?
