I have said it before, TGV can review a $49 CASIO or a $15,000 Rolex and make it both watches cool and worth buying... Thanks TGV for another great video
So true. It's nice to see real enthusiast with heart open to any type of watch, admiring those for 50k$ as well as those for 50$. Anyway GW-M5610-1ER added to my wishlist. Thanks TGV.
very true haha i wouldn't have conidered buying a digi watch but i feel like i have to have at least one of these g shocks in my little collection. this guy is great!
I’m in the USAF and doing some pretty rough stuff in my career field’s training pipeline. I recently started rocking the DW-5600BB, and this thing is so perfect at what it does, I really couldn’t see a better option for myself. I’ve already beat the hell out of it and perfect still, never misses a beat.
The gwg1000 is the ultimate gshock. Been beating the fuck out of mine and it doesnt budge an inch. Only thing I'm worried about is the rubber strap decaying after a few decades lol.
I got this exact watch many years ago, in 2011, in Guantanamo Bay when my ship visited there. I had, until then, been using an ultra-cheap "rectangle" Casio digital watch, the simplest ones they make. I found this new black G-shock watch in a Navy Exchange and I'd been looking for an upgrade. The DW5600MS-1 was the very first watch I've ever bought that was more than 20 dollars, and I've been using it ever since. I'm no longer in the Navy, but I still have my trusty black G-Shock by my side every day. I've never had a more reliable watch that has lived through more abuse than this one. It's viable in every and any situation, and only gets better with age. I'm totally bonded with it. It's also worth noting that it was this G-Shock got me started on an interest in watches that were a bit more expensive; a bit higher quality. When I got home to the states, it was this watch that made me start looking into watches, until eventually I discovered the world of fine horology. By the way, I just bought my first Swiss watch last month, an Oris Propilot Bigcrown Date.
Oh wow! I've never really been a watch guy but my job in industrial maintenance and operations pretty much required me to wear a rugged watch for time keeping in an environment full of hazards. So I got the G-Shock Mudman and it still serves me well. Now that my discretionary income has increased and watch channels like yours, I've decided to start a real collection. It was real exciting to see your Mudman and it made me realize that I've already started my collection as my utilitarian watch has become more than a tool to me. You've certainly earned my respect.
I just got my 5610 solar version and the nato adapters yesterday! Such a great watch! You can't go wrong with it. It's comfortable and durable. No more batteries to worry about or setting the time. A great watch to grab on the way out the door.
I bought the DW5600MS-1 and the bullbar after watching this video 2 years ago - the look is just amazing. This is one watch that will never leave my collection
I've had this exact watch for a few years and it's been all over the world with me. I will soon be wearing it through the Marine Corps officer candidate school and expect it to do quite well. Great video!
There is something to be said for g shocks. The fact that TGV, *fastest watch flipper in the West* used the mudman until it was disgusting shows that it is a reliable practical watch that proves to be a great thing to have among one's other watches. :)
Who needs "other" watches if you've got a Mudman and especially if it has a compass too? ? Wanting other watches, sure, maybe, but needing other watches, no, not really.
I have this exact setup, bar the strap , I went for a black on black Zulu, and the compass I went for a thermometer instead. I wear it every single day. Absolutely fantastic!
As others have mentioned, the ultimate square is the GW5000. Multi band atomic, DLC coated steel body instead of the resin inner build, super soft resin strap. Definitely worth a review if you have the time and a chance to get your hands on one. A permanent part of my collection.
I have a Casio F-91W best beater watch because it's only for 10 bucks !!! It's taken a huge beating ever since I had it and still runs. Great video keep them up love all of them!!
painex loe that’s what they want you to think I dive in north Florida and have wore it 10 plus dives all deeper than 50 feet and highest 90 feet no problems so far no moisture inside
Check out the Casio w-800h. 100 meter water resistant 1 dollar more than the f-91w and it’s a great watch. Good beater and work watch in my experience.
I do like the idea of the G-Shock but I've found the F91-w does the same job equally well. Obviously,the 91w won't survive a fall off a cliff but neither would I so no worries. Excellent as ever TGV..cheers!!
Mate...that intro is one of the BEST ones I've seen on UA-cam EVER. You and Rich Piana's (Rest his soul) intros are the top 2 on the tube, great videos btw, great work.
I purchased the BBN5600-1 Full stealth/tactical version… And I also purchased the bull bars as recommended from Kay and Jay...I just put it on a one piece black w/PVD hardware NATO strap....Absolutely incredible and for less than $100 Fully decked out! I’ve never been a fan of the bulkiness and large size of the majority of the G-Shock’s. I also get a bit annoyed at all the writing and specs on the face of Casio’s…I have several of the classic Classics for nostalgia...wear and Enjoy them very much...This watch is just cool… It takes its rightful place in my ‘Top-watch-box’...Surrounded by a bunch of mechanical watches (All of which cost many times more)....And more than holds its own...Having trouble taking it off my wrist. Thanks for all the wonderful recommendations and reviews...and particularly for this one! You are always spot-on and you’ve taught me a ton...All the best! John
I've always wanted a g-shock and since here in Brazil everything is more expensive, only this month I was able to fulfill the dream if buying my first one!! I went for the dw5600-bb and couldn't be happier. I was already into the nato strap and even had a leather one made for my dress watch, but was kind of on the fence wether to get one for my new 5600. After seeing this video I decided to get these adapters for it! I had already ordered a bullbars for it because one of my favorite watches, hda 600b1, has them. Thanks for all the great videos.
Best watch related Channel out there, most of the other channels cater for the nouveau-riches. I purchased a 5600BBN after watching your video. Thank you very much, TGV, you are a true gentleman.
To be honest. In my opinion the best watch-channel on UA-cam. It was said in comments that we love that you can speak with passion about both expensive and cheap watches. Its true. Keep it doing! :) Dw5600ms+bull bars+zulu/nato strap very interesting inspiration, thanks :) I'll do it with dw5600e :) (sorry for my english its not my native language)
Another great review of a classic. I still have my 5200 Hero I bought in 1984 ! The resin front disintegrated and I managed to source a replacement from Brazil, it looks immaculate!
I am part of the Wilderness Search and rescue here in the philippines and the watch i used is Dw5600eu with solar power battery and since i found your vid i tried changing it with a NATO Nylon Strap together with a compass and i can tell it is very useful out in the wilderness honestly speaking
Love my G-shocks own 5 to date, all atomic solar...I have one for over 10 years old and going strong. Great for work purposes. Love your passion for all realms of watches, well done. Good narrative today.
Love it Tristano! Aren't Casio's just the coolest thing! Sometimes it's just fun to go back to basics with a funky plastic digital watch. Funky intro music too! KS
Your intro is incredible! I do not get tired of watching your channel ... I had several casio in the past ... I will buy one because they are fantastic tool watches and I have no digital watch in my collection. Best regards my friend.
Great looking wacht I have my first casio in 1984 made in Japan. Took 10 years of beating running and swimming before I had to replace. The plastic around the case break first but the wacht never actually fails. Good video.
Got mine today Sir! I was inspired to buy this because of your honest review. This is a robust watch that will fit to my need. I'm a nurse I think this watch will handle all secretions related to my work. Haha!
So very glad to hear. Having been in hospital a lot myself in the last few years I can not think of a better choice. I am sure it will serve you well. Thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV
Excelent comparison between the three models, very informative, Guv. Reminded me of the boys at school, back in the 80's, kicking and banging those watchs to see if we could destroy them...only we couldn't. Great classic beater pieces. Cheers.
This vid really comes at the right time. I am looking for a good affordable military watch and this vid explained a few features that I never thought of e.g stop watch + time etc. Thanks TGV
Just bought my first 5600 the HR with red and black and I love it.. beautiful watch..a little smaller than I thought it would be but so simple and so elagant ..
I've had my Timex Ironman for over a year and wear it for security work as well as the gym, outdoor range, and outdoors sports and it seems to be holding up well.
Good day and great video TGV. My father wanted to buy me one for my 30th birthday. I came across your channel while looking for a time piece. I was inspired by your video on the G Shock 5600MS last week so I went out and purchased the same one with the negative display. Im enjoying the piece and look forward to wearing it on my next hiking/camping trip and I sense this watch will be a part of great memories to come. Thank you. Ben from Australia.
Awesome watch. If you like negative display, you can do that on the DW5600 as well. You just have to rotate the glass crystal 180 degrees and Viola! It's a polarized glass, so it's very easy to change the display. No technical skills needed.
I have a decent collection of G Shocks .They’re just rad, reliable , great quality & beautiful aesthetic . I bought one for my son & son in law & they loved them too.
After, literally, years of avoiding them (cause I thought they were too big for me), I'm going to get my first G-shock this weekend-- I'm stoked!! ✌😎👌 (*FYI, TGV, you're partly to blame!! Lol) ---------- Ok, edited to say: Thought I was probably gonna purchase a 5600 series G-shock, ESPECIALLY after watching TGV's video... ☝😎 However, before I could make my purchase, I literally happened upon a G-100 ana-digi, at a little more than half the cost ($29+ tax). Of course, I jumped on the deal! I cannot believe how great this watch is for me-- size wise, its an ana-digi, its got excellent (better than I thought it would) lume, it wasn't hard to set (analog or digital), its got great backlighting for the digital screen, its got 200m wr, etc. etc. Thanks for turning me on to these, Tristano! Much obliged from the center of the country!! 😆
@@evildrmainstream...6767 I have a feeling a 5600 is still my target for a 'next purchase' since I (still) want a fully digital g-shock) that has the same set-up as TGV's--- -nato adaptors & strap -blacked out screen -mini compass I have another watch (another ana-digi that isn't a Casio) with nearly the same set-up &, up until this G-100, its been my 'go to' out door activity/gym watch.
You sold me TGV. I did some extra research and it appears that this model is a favorite for law enforcement. I got it as a gift for a a Deputy Sheriff and he LOVES IT.
i come back to this vid every no and then . i love the customization you did too it! at the time. i love how not large it is , and i quit love large bulky tactical watches. (AND ITS CHEEP TOO!!!) (ill mod mines like thos too) i first found this vid i hadnt known casio made military/tactical watches. ill definitely get this 1 !
I have the DW-5600BBN version. Prefer it over the MS-1 because I liked the white negative display over the red negative and it has less lettering on the screen. Great watch that retains the classic 5600 "square" shape. BBN does cost ($115) more but a benefit is that you don't have to buy extra adapters and you can use any nato straps (22mm). The 5600 series is the only g-shock I would own.
I'm gonna comment on every g shock video you have and recommend you do a review of the AWG-M100. It's the most underrated model in their lineup and wears extremely well, with tons of features. A phenomenal piece.
Great little watch. I love my G-shock, super robust and reliable, my perfect workout watch! You did a great job in that intro my friend, I love when you do those theme related intros ;)
Been looking into a G-Shock for an everyday beater watch and I stumbled across your videos. I'm not really into the bulky style of most of the G-Shock's out there so I was looking at something that was a bit more slender. It seems you hit the nail on the head with this one. I may do a little more research before pulling the trigger but thanks to your review, it looks like I may be looking at my next watch. Enjoyed the detail review, you earned yourself a new subscriber and fan. Cheers from Hawaii!
The DW5600 is one of the classic G-Shock used by Army soldiers and USMC marines. While I used a diminutive military Hamilton hand crank mechanical, for a G-Shock today I'd prefer a solar atomic that doesn't require batteries, and can sync its time with a number of VLF radio time signals on various continents. While the radio time syncing is a convenience that can be periodically corrected manually, the solar eliminates finding a battery and clean space in which to perform open heart surgery on it out in the middle of nowhere while living in crude conditions in the frozen dusty mud. Finding the battery could easily be the insurmountable issue. There aren't very many Wally Worlds out in the middle of a Hazardous Duty Area (aka "Combat Zone"). My current "beater" is a Casio GW6900-1 that I've had for over four years now (bought in June 2014). It's still a bit under $100 on Amazon. Charges very quickly from near dead to fully in direct sunlight. In indirect skylight sitting in a window, it takes longer, but is still relatively fast. Bright white daylight LED lighting is nearly as fast as direct sunlight. We may differ about the specific model, but I concur that a G-Shock is very nearly indestructible and very well suited to serve as a beater that will be very thoroughly thrashed repeatedly.
Pro tip: there are cheapo (under a fiver) digital calipers made from plastic available on ebay and such. Great for taking measurements of fancy things.
Excellent review! Have a 5610 and a seamaster, both give me so much joy wearing them, strongly considering that strap you have for my 5610! Keep up the good work, cheers from Norway😊
I have said it before, TGV can review a $49 CASIO or a $15,000 Rolex and make it both watches cool and worth buying... Thanks TGV for another great video

Oh, cool. It turns out that I have the "military" version of a watch. I though it was the "can't-see-shit" version....
@North End Productions Yeah, it's so stealth that it can't-be-seen even by you... unless you happen to be camping on the surface of the sun.
Who needs to know what time it is anyway
You look cool so it's ok
I'm cool
No soldier would use such. Because of you cant see shit. And who have the bals to make the light on to see shit xDD

-blacked out screen
-mini compass
I have another watch (another ana-digi that isn't a Casio) with nearly the same set-up &, up until this G-100, its been my 'go to' out door activity/gym watch.
You sold me TGV. I did some extra research and it appears that this model is a favorite for law enforcement. I got it as a gift for a a Deputy Sheriff and he LOVES IT.
Wow
Great video. It's TIME for a new DW5600.
The only intros I watch on UA-cam.
Your intros are awesome! Thanks for the video!
The intros are just too slick. Beyond anything else on UA-cam
i come back to this vid every no and then . i love the customization you did too it! at the time.
i love how not large it is , and i quit love large bulky tactical watches. (AND ITS CHEEP TOO!!!)
(ill mod mines like thos too) i first found this vid i hadnt known casio made military/tactical watches.
ill definitely get this 1 !
I have the DW-5600BBN version. Prefer it over the MS-1 because I liked the white negative display over the red negative and it has less lettering on the screen. Great watch that retains the classic 5600 "square" shape. BBN does cost ($115) more but a benefit is that you don't have to buy extra adapters and you can use any nato straps (22mm). The 5600 series is the only g-shock I would own.
The intro is amazing. You did slot of work on this and it had paid off
Hands down the coolest intro you've done. Love this watch too!
Thank you :D
Best regards,

One of my favorite intros! I watched the 10 best vid, and came here cause I originally missed this video.
I wear the G-shock 3434 GD40 in infantry. Tough AS NAILS, love it.
Love the Intro to this, sorry for seeing all this LATE
That intro!!!! Impeccable!
I've been looking for adapters for my 2310 FOREVER. Thanks again for the excellent recommendation, TGV.
Hey I have this G-Shock! The dw5600ms-1 is a great watch. March 2019 will be 8 years strong with this "stealthy" timepiece
You make the best intro's ever! Keep up the awesome work!
Was looking for a good beater watch that I can use while working. Just ordered this, review was very helpful!!
I'm gonna comment on every g shock video you have and recommend you do a review of the AWG-M100. It's the most underrated model in their lineup and wears extremely well, with tons of features. A phenomenal piece.
@Douglas Pantera it has more than a 5600 lmao. MB6, auto EL, auto DST, etc.
I own a GA-100 with a blue hands and I love it. EDC watch built like a tank.

Been looking into a G-Shock for an everyday beater watch and I stumbled across your videos. I'm not really into the bulky style of most of the G-Shock's out there so I was looking at something that was a bit more slender. It seems you hit the nail on the head with this one. I may do a little more research before pulling the trigger but thanks to your review, it looks like I may be looking at my next watch. Enjoyed the detail review, you earned yourself a new subscriber and fan. Cheers from Hawaii!
The DW5600 is one of the classic G-Shock used by Army soldiers and USMC marines. While I used a diminutive military Hamilton hand crank mechanical, for a G-Shock today I'd prefer a solar atomic that doesn't require batteries, and can sync its time with a number of VLF radio time signals on various continents. While the radio time syncing is a convenience that can be periodically corrected manually, the solar eliminates finding a battery and clean space in which to perform open heart surgery on it out in the middle of nowhere while living in crude conditions in the frozen dusty mud. Finding the battery could easily be the insurmountable issue. There aren't very many Wally Worlds out in the middle of a Hazardous Duty Area (aka "Combat Zone"). My current "beater" is a Casio GW6900-1 that I've had for over four years now (bought in June 2014). It's still a bit under $100 on Amazon. Charges very quickly from near dead to fully in direct sunlight. In indirect skylight sitting in a window, it takes longer, but is still relatively fast. Bright white daylight LED lighting is nearly as fast as direct sunlight. We may differ about the specific model, but I concur that a G-Shock is very nearly indestructible and very well suited to serve as a beater that will be very thoroughly thrashed repeatedly.
The intro vid could stand alone be the ad for that g shock
Nice vid dude!
Your intro's are always so damn good!
Great introduction TGV, always nice to see what is around at the cheaper end of the market.
Pro tip: there are cheapo (under a fiver) digital calipers made from plastic available on ebay and such. Great for taking measurements of fancy things.
love your watch reviews. bought this gshock and modded just like what you did. i am a sucker for military theme gshocks
Hell of an intro TGV!! Can def tell you worked in audio/video professionally.
Thank you sir, very flattered.
Best regards,
TGV
TGV's intros are becoming hollywood like!
Some next level editing there
Great intro.... It's like "Saving Private Ryan's G-Shock".
Thank you Alex :D
Best regards,
TGV
Watch this gshock sell out on amazon because of your recommendation!
Excellent review! Have a 5610 and a seamaster, both give me so much joy wearing them, strongly considering that strap you have for my 5610!
Keep up the good work, cheers from Norway😊
