Kikuo was 1 week away from failing. If he quit we would have never had the Gshock. His final idea came from watching a kid bouncing a rubber ball. Now they’re used in space and Casio doesn’t even need to brag about it. How amazing is that? Think about this the next time you’re working on something hard. Gshock isn’t just a watch. It’s pure determination. Heck yeah!

Thank you! is a super reliable watch.

Hint: if watch is left on a metal bar (in my case the metal crank handle of a window) the chances of it receiving the signal are enhanced

I started my journey in the watch world with classical mechanical watches (I still remember how excited I was, when I bought my first Seiko 5), as I admired the complexity and build of the mechanical movements. Soon I had to realise that my lifestyle (Im a technician, with lot of fieldworks, and Im also an outgoing person - lot of cycling, sports, climbing etc., plus I do a lot of night shifts) needs some functionalities that are impossible with a classical watch. My first beater was the Casio Royale (AE1200WH). I really loved that watch, still got it, I used it for like 8 years when I found this one. It has all the functions that my royale is missing (multiband6, tough solar, EL backlight ) so It was love at first sight. This watch is an absolute toolbox, and its seems invincible. I love it. If you want a watch with all the gears you might (or might not ) need, and dont want to worry on damages, and on batteries, and punctuality, you found the absolute banger! Do not hesitate! Its worth every cents!

I’ve worn mine for over a year. Still looks and functions exactly the same as the day I bought it.

I currently own two Rolex Datejusts (126200 & 116233) and this g shock is the watch that Im going to sell both for. After wearing luxury watches for some time, I just want something simple for daily use, where I dont have to think about the durability twice and be careful about scratches, shocks & destroying lots of money. Cant wait to enjoy this beautiful piece with such an amazing history and be more at peace with having my money invested safer in other ways than wristwatches 😅

Not to mention, always worry about who's gonna Jack you while you are wearing an expensive watch. You can't have anything now days

I love my 5610. Its even better on a combi bracelet. I thought a plastic bracelet would be gimmicky and end up sucking but its much more comfortable than a steel bracelet watch. No sweat issues of a synthetic band and that light airyness you can't get from a steel watch watchband. It is fantastic. IMO the 5600 series of watches is the digital equivalent of a Rolex Explorer. Its an iconic go anywhere watch that takes a beating. My only grip is despite all the years in production they still haven't improved the pushers for the fat fingered. If I don't use a finger nail its 50/50 if a press on the pusher actually works.

I have the negative display version and it's fantastic! I just bought the Gw-m5610 positive display version also! Legendry retro Casio watches! A must have in everyone's Casio collection! 💪 🍻 🎊 🇷🇴

It’s September 2022 and I just ordered a 5610u for $103. It did dip down to $89 a week ago but it was not from a seller I trusted do I waited. Even with inflation at a 40 year high at the moment and other watches like the Seiko 5 tripling in cost, the GShock has stayed the same price.

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

Really great review. Love the G-shock and this watch in particular. I have bought a GW B5600 2ER which has the Bluetooth option that would open up this watch even more. I'm more a fan of the positive face, but I do like the negetive option. They will probably add it further down the line. Cheers.

5:22 Also, you can buy this Casio G-Shock new for around $100 USD at the time of this post. The Omega Speedmaster even on the used market costs thousands of dollars. Of course the Speedmaster is not as durable or water resistant as the G-Shock, it requires manual winding and loses seconds every few days, and does not have any backlight. The Speedmaster is a piece of watch history and space travel history, but it’s obsolete for modern military or space flight use.

which is why i dont use those smartwatches, that hassle with charging the battery that often. that casio gshock with solar power lasts for many years. i recall people who said they stored their gshock in a drawer for like 10 years and when they took it out, it was working.

Top tier review

The atomic model does not serve me where I live, there is no antenna and without going any further in world time Buenos Aires my city does not appear on the list, a bad point for almost all, as well as the excessive and unjustified price for my use. The automatic light also works in the replaceable battery model, which by the way is the most common and cheap battery model, it is a great advantage, it lasts about 5 years, I had several g shocks and this is the best and most comfortable model to my liking. Flash function with time signal, timer, chrono and alarm is a very important function for me My favorite is the DW 5600, it is the one I use and the other G Shock I have sold because it does not make sense for me to have watches in a drawer, I only need one, this one. Casio is the best by far of all the brands.

Did you ever notice that the modern digital watches aren't nearly as accurate as they were back in the early 1980's? An early 80's Casio would keep perfect time (+/-3 sec) for a whole year, not the new ones, not even close. Apparently that's because the government didn't want such precise timing systems to be readily available to the public. Super-precise timing systems are an essential component in weapons systems and they didn't want just anyone to have access to them.
