0:48 - now THAT is a G shock collection, holy moly!

The man's voice is so calming and distinctive.. I used to build gundam model kits at my younger days and watched lots of review videos from a particular YT channel. Of which the person in the video has a similar voice just like you.

HOLY MOOLY CASIO FINALLY DID IT. The cheaper lowest-end square G-Shock (DW5600) had one feature that the "better" ones (GW-M5610) didn't have. And that was having the LOCAL TIME being displayed on the other modes (e.g. using stopwatch while having local-time, or having local-time and a different time-zone displayed) . That was a HUGE feature that i sorely needed but didn't want to sacrifice the solar and atomic time keeping. They FINALLY added that into the new module HALLELUJAH.

Hi Greg. Thanks for the in depth coverage for these blue tooth watches.The red display reminds me of the 1970s calculator displays. i have sent many reminders for birthdays etc using that online connected method. Your tutorials remind me of high school. Keep them up! Thanks, Darren from Sydney Australia.

This watch was what pushed me to buy my first square. The Sith watch. 2 days later I also bought 'Joker' variant. :D really love theses watches

Excellent video, jam-packed with technical info on this module.

An excellent video, perfect timing (excuse the pun!). I have just purchased the GW-B5600-2ER here in Madrid, and she's a beauty. It has the reflective blue trim around the standard grey negative display. This is my first new Casio watch purchase for about 10 years, as I wanted to get a more classic look and not so much bulk on the wrist. I gave away a couple of my previous Casio G-Shock watches to my children during that time too. My wife bought me a Casio ProTrek PRW 3000 about 5 years ago, my only other solar powered watch. Since then, I've resisted buying anymore watches, until today 😉 I had my doubts about the utility of having Bluetooth connectivity, but having followed your excellent instructions, I've got it set up perfectly within a couple of minutes. Thank you very much, sir!

Thanks for the detailed review! I just placed my order for this watch :)

Thank you for the thorough review. As a result I am now the owner of a Casio G-Shock GWB5600AR and I'm very pleased with it. I particularly like the red backlight, which is useful for astronomy. Red light doesn't affect night vision. I'm very hard on watches, so I'm expecting this watch to be as tough as my G-Shock G-Lide GWX5700SS which I use for swimming and snorkelling. But, unlike the G-Lide, the GWB5600AR doesn't scream "sports watch". I also like the design of the "square" watches where form follows function. Rectangular bezel to match the rectangular digital display. Whereas my G-Lide has a circular bezel, even though there is no second hand sweeping in a circle, and no rotating bezel as in an analog dive watch. Once again, thanks.

Absolutely gorgeous watch! Another fantastic review Greg! TY for your insight! I have used your reviews heavily for references to my own purchases, thanks for that. I love the atomic clocks. It would be nice if you could do a review of the CASIO PROTREK PRW-7000-1AJF. I have recently bought that one and It is hands down, my favorite watch of all time, It has a very sleek ani-digi along with ABC functions. I still wear my squares: (Sith watch & the KIng square) Love them along with my GW7900-1 paired with my PRG Pro Trek PRG-270-1 (I keep the 270-1 in my pocket, use it as a pocket watch). Keep up the reviews, & God bless ya

Fun thing to do is to set the mute sounds, 4 second back light, then quickly press backlight, then manual receive button. The backlight will flicker from the voltage load on running both features. Also I leave automatic receive off. One press of manual receive will leave the RCVD light on all day instead of it turning off every 6 hours.

Does the point memory work when phone disconnected or no internet connection?

I agree with others that it would have been nice to have been able to see power level of battery through a button press menu and that would keep the "clean face". As another has posted, you can view the battery level indicator on the G Shock app on your smartphone, but there is a caveat: the battery indicator is tiny on the left upper screen of the app, Why? I think they overlooked this. It's fine I guess, but would be nice to easily be able to see the charge indication, instead of needing a magnifying glass to see the indicator. Also the indicator doesn't say percentages, like 50%, 75%, etc, its just a tiny picture of a battery with filled in black. very difficult without a magnifying glass, to see see if it's 90% or 100% for me at least. Another poster said it doesn't matter that much in the long run though, because the battery tech with solar on the watches are so good, don't need to worry about it that much anyways. I agree with that

Yes, the battery level changes on mine. They are usually a bit less than 100% and that might seem like a bother because I want them to be 100%.. But, for all I know, my non-Bluetooth watches are the same way. Perhaps they are close enough to full that the power indicator is always on “H” and I keep thinking they are 100% (but maybe they are only 70% but are still closer to “H” than “M” so the watch shows “H”). The manuals for other tough solar modules indicate that it may take several hours of bright light to move a battery from “M” to “H” so... keep trying but don’t worry too much.

No question I love my "black/combi bracelet" version of this watch (GW-B5600B), but I have found I need to experiment to find a few things out, specifically relating to the time syncing. I had figured that radio controlled from WWVA would work just fine considering I have an old MTG-903AD which connected just fine like clockwork every single night (given where I left it overnight... BTW, am in NYC not the closest to CO but within the radius). Getting it to time sync to WWVA has been a bit if an ordeal... I think it will always favor bluetooth over radio waves, so I turned off BT on my phone. I found no "rcvd" the next morning. Repeated this several times. Even tried the "trick" I saw in a EWatchGeek video about getting reception by placing it on a metal pipe (I used an aluminum tripod I have for a long metal tube. Still no bueno. THEN, I again watched your video here. OMG there IS a way (convoluted thought it may be) to figure out when the last time it synced with the radio waves. It came up with the J 40 display as yours did, so I continued to see when it may have been synced at the factory. Only to find it was 2/10 at around 1:06. No question it was in my posession at that date. No idea if the metal bar try was what made it connect, never noted the exact date I tired that trick. BUT is seems to raide the question of the "rcvd" notation. Could that ONLY be for a BT connection? Next, I noticed this morning there was no "rcvd" on my watch... huh? After seeing it do the BT^ connection like clockwork, how can it not? Checked with the app, hmmm, it missed the 6:30AM connection for the past 2 days. Nothing has changed, everything remains in the same places overnight. No idea what can be causing this... how can it be missing just this one sync... any ideas?

To have it sync by radio atomic clock, you have to unpair it from bluetooth...you can use bluetooth to do all the settings, and then unpair it following the instrucctions here: www.watchuseek.com/attachments/3459-unpair-jpg.13232955/ Then check that the correct city is selected, and the auto DST, then make sure receive mode is ON .Then just leave it at night by a window, it will sync by radio, and you should see the next morning the RCVD symbol... it will now behave as a standard GW-M5610, with bluetooth capacities disabled...

The Bluetooth connection can be pretty quick if it’s just a time update. Perhaps the battery drain isn’t an issue because it only takes a few seconds whereas the Multiband 6 sync can take a few minutes each time the receiver is activated. If the watch time is updated via Bluetooth then it doesn’t try the Multiband 6 update. But I guess I’ll have to observe the power drain issue on a long-term basis. So far it’s not a problem.

@@GoodTimekeeper Thanks for the answer, Greg. I'll probably buy one anyway. I've been bitten by the bug. In three months I've bought 8. It is a sickness, isn't it?

Is this the Apple Watch ancestor or something ?! Why do WE still stick on G’s when everything has been made so simple on today’s smartwatches? This is a real question 🤔 Thanks a lot for your full and precious reviews. Keep it up 👍🏻 A French G fan))

I guess it’s all preference, same with phones. I personally like the rugged simplicity of a G more than some $500 watch that literally does the same thing as a reg watch and a less efficient version of things your phone can do.

Grandmaster Flash Which square G would you begin with ?

David Hammer Any one of the 5600s. I got the one in the video earlier this year since red and black are one of my favorite color combos. Got it with a great discount too. I also kinda want the Gorillaz square G since I have the green camp Gorillaz carbon core G. But, 5600 is what everyone should start with.

David Hammer Yeah, it’s easy to see. Unless you’re using it at midnight you can tell the time with no strain.

Do you still like it?

The exact same watch but with a positive display. How nice it would be. Someone could mod this of course but it's a little bit risky you should know what you're doing.

I don't exactly have a great monitor, but is the LCD a pinkish red in person? Someone tell me I'm not crazy, I mean, look at the line around the display compared with the display.

It does seem to change color just a bit depending on the lighting. In this case I blasted the watch with light in order to record the video. I wanted to get plenty of contrast so that the camera would see the digits well. Perhaps the color will be a little muted in “normal” light.

@29:00 minutes in, my suspicions that you were a member of the Church were confirmed... to me, anyway. The earlier video seemed more like UT, than CO (as far as I can tell). Besides... you sound so much like a home teacher :) It is weird that I am so attuned to this "accent"; almost a "General Conference voice".

Is there a positive-display in red?

There's at least one red digits on black (round) g-shock about.

I never had the slightest inclination to get a standard watch before watching your videos. Are you sure you don't work for Casio ;)

I live in Australia, so I am not interested in Multiband 6. Is there a Bluetooth model without Multiband 6?

I can’t find one in the classic G-Shock Square style which has Bluetooth but not Multiband 6. The closest match is a GBX-100 model. Most of the others seem to be analog watches.

@@GoodTimekeeper And BTW, I do enjoy your presentations. You are an excellent speaker and I like your style. I recently assisted a friend who has a PAW-1300 module 3070 which is 11 years old. The number of presses of the mode key to cycle through the modes is 7 compared to 5 on my G5600-E. This is why I don't want Multiband 6. I downloaded the app to syncronise his watch, but I ended up connecting the phone to a speaker to increase the volume, in case that is significant. It worked once, but it was a whole lot easier to set the watch manually, once I found the manual online. I recommended to him to check his watch monthly rather than worry about a couple of seconds out. His watch had been 2 minutes out for a couple of years, since his last visit to London. So a few seconds shouldn't bother him too much. But back to Bluetooth, I might end up with a Bluetooth analog/digital as my first Bluetooth watch. Do you keep the G-Shock Connected app running continuously on your phone? Is it a battery draining app?

I leave Bluetooth turned on all the time on my iPhone because I often connect it to my car or to earphones that way. So I don’t notice any battery drain from the Casio app. The app wants to connect to the watch automatically every six hours to update the time, but this only lasts a few seconds. I notice that it can only do this automatic connection when I allow the app to use my location all the time. But, I will give you a little behind-the-scenes information about my plans for the next several videos. I’m getting six new watches for Father’s Day (just a couple of days from now) and three of those use Bluetooth to connect with a phone or tablet. So, starting next week, I’ll have more videos featuring more information about Casio’s Bluetooth devices and apps.

Do you think a fake g shock would still connect to the g shock app?
