I love the new MIP display but I’m going to wait. I have hope that Casio will make a regular Square with tough solar and multiband or bluetooth.

Something I admire about Casio G-Shock is that they aren’t trying to be Apple, or Garmin, or anything else. They kind of go by their own mantra and they understand their user base. When people compare to those other type of smart watches I think they miss the point. G-Shock is all about sport watches that can take abuse and just keep going. You aren’t ever going to get an Apple watch with 200m water resistance.

I was in the market for a G-Shock smartwatch. Would definitely buy one if it had an app and functionality like Garmin. But they have a long way to go. Just bought a Garmin Instinct 2.

I would love a basic 5600 with this screen, and tough solar. No tracking, HR monitor, or anything else at a decent price. Is it much to ask?

Afraid to work out, then buy the DW5600

I want this display on a 5610! I don't need the fitness features or sensor imprint on my wrist. If Casio releases a non-fitness version of this watch, I'll be all over it.

Casio need to ditch the negative screens asap and make all new g shocks with the MIP displays.

id agree with you mip displays makes g shocks way better

Give me 5610u with positive MIP display, how hard is it. I am sure I am not alone wanting that without any other stuff.

Thanks for sharing! I think Casio is going in the right direction with the MIP display. Can't wait to see what they will do with this tech.

My biggest complaint with the G Shocks are the recessed buttons. I get why they did it, but I have never accidentally hit a button on any of my other Casio watches and caused an issue, even on the 1500 which has HUGE buttons and they stick out quite a bit. That alone makes me not wear my G Shock as much as some of my other watches. Actually, now that I mention it, a MIP display on the 1500 would be amazing. It's my favorite watch of the collection of Casio's I have but my negative display model is just hard to read sometimes.

Happy I got the 5610u instead. Amazing stuff

Hey great review mate ! This make me wonder... is it better to buy this one and dumb it down or to buy a 5000u ? I've already have a 5610u and as much as I like it, i'd like to try a more "premium" one.

What a mix of pros and cons: I'll stick with my GBX100 until the sort those out! (Only negative there for me is no solar.)

I am close to buying this one but also still on the fence because it is just not exactly what I want. I dont want the fitness functions (especially the heart rate sensor) but I do want a square with tough solar, multiband 6 and an MIP display. Those are my only 3 requirements and I will purchase in a heartbeat if they come out with a watch like this.

@@jm27232 Just to clarify, I fully understand that the HR monitoring function can be switched off. What I meant when I said I don't want the HR sensor is that I don't want the sensor at all. I don't like the extra thickness it adds to the watch with the protrusion out of the caseback. I don't want to pay an extra premium for a sensor I will never use either.

Liked you list of positive and negatives; it's now 2023 and there's no reason for the shortcomings, so no excuses. Casio has had decades of experience building a core rugged watch but compared to newcomers in the field of smart watches/exercise trackers it's one big disappointment. Their watch designs always seem to have some silly mistake - why?

Hi thanks for your video test do you know if is it possible to implement a moutain Bike training on this watch ?

is there a date format option MM/DD vs DD/MM?

Make New Square like in GW-B5600 series or GM-W5600 series in MIP screen with basic functions - tough solar - Bluetooth - Multiband 6 - gps(optional)

Can I connect the chest strap heart rate monitor to it?

I've a bunch of gshocks and nowadays there's just no excuse for not having one touch operation for things like stopwatche & preset countdown timers. Plus they're an absolute nightmare each time you need to do something you forgot how to do. Amazing & Frustrating has described gshocks for years!!

Nice review!

I love the watch, however, it's really a shame that you can't start watch functions from the app level.

Not sure why the hate for this watch. It’s a throwback watch with some modern features, at $300 it’s hardly crazy expensive or even the most expensive g-shock. I bought it for looks mostly and also I don’t use that much smart features. The measurements so far in the week I used it, seem to generally match up with my Huawei GT3. My worry is the battery so far. I had it for about a week. Had about 3 bars of charge when I took it out of the box, and today it’s on the last bar. I doubt I can make it last a month on a charge as I hoped.

The display is amazing 😮

The 5000u is still the one for me.

Please tell Casio to give MIP display to this model: G-SHOCK G-5600UE. A regular tough solar square with MIP display.

Does it have an hourly chime with vibration?

can this watch check your Blood pressure? or body temp? or is there any casio watch available today than can? im looking for a watch to wear when im sick, right now i use my ae1200 when im sick because of the 5 alarms function to remind me of my meds, but it would be really nice if i can just check my wrist to show my body temp..

Please could someone tell me about the battery duration?? I have one and solar charge never charge completely the battery 😢

any update video? this watch had many updates

i have this watch. it s incredible watch i ever had

Please review the GBD100 Love your vids ❤❤

Does it have inbuilt GPS?

@@consistenc51 personally I would get the GBD-200 if it has solar but it doesn't so I went for the H5600. Was my first MIP display Casio.

I've been following the many user reviews over at the G-Shock subreddit and the consensus seems to be: it looks spectacular, but as soon as you start to interact with its extra features, you'll be facing issues at some point. I've seen reviews that show the watch display a 'please wait' pop up for 10 seconds, while doing something in the background. Really? And there's that ridiculous USB charger: a giant clothes pin on a wire. Wireless charging too difficult, Casio?

I have two H5600 (the black and blue/grey one) and not once I've seen the watches do something like that. And wireless charging would definitely step up the price.

Make the 5610 with this display and we all buy it in a second, why even bother with smart watch stuff and apps and heart rate monitors? I think CASIO is not dumb and they know perfectly what their audience and know exactly what they want: as I said before, make a 5600 with Tough Solar, Multiband 6 and the fancy MIP display and you have a winner. So far I am still not convinced to buy it even though it has arrived into the store for my country for 280€. I think CASIO want to move on into the future of digital horology, but their fans - all of us - do not want.

For me, I kinda want everything, Casio SmartWatch that has fitness tracking (heart rate, oxygen, hiking, GPS) with negative MIP display, and tough solar. Basically means everything 😅😅

I ended up going with the 200. Half the price and almost enough features. It makes me sad that my grail g-shock does not exist. There are many out there that are close, but all are lacking something that I want. Then again, I like to swap out watches often. So, it's not that big of a deal. I've got about 20 that I cycle though in my normal rotation. I love each one for various reasons.

I think Casio should just purchase Polar, and take some notes from other industry leaders in fitness tracking, like Garmin. At the current state, the software is the biggest problem. They just don't seem that well-thought-out. After watching this, I bought GBD-200, and it scratches the MIP-itch enough.

I didn't like the alarm, the sound is very low and getting used to those hard buttons again is a challenge

needs GPS to be a real fitness watch

Get a Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire for $300.

It cost 3 times more than my amazfit T rex...

Casio looks like the new Nokia. Why the hell I should to buy this watch when I can buy a Suunto 9 Peak, Polar Pacer Pro or Coros Pace 3 (all of them with better sensors, double GPS, sport modes, and app) and are also cheaper?

You can customize it to be stupid... For a three times the price of a normal g... They should just realese normal g with MIP. GBD200 comes close but still solar is limited...

Gbd 200 is so much better than that one

Literally, NO ONE showing the display in the dark, i would like to see if it is slightly visible compared to the traditional display. Casio claims "easy to see in darkness". This guy almost answered my question, but he messed up. Recorded only when backlight lit up.

It's not unnecessary at all. If you choose not to use the heart sensor, the battery lasts forever just my solar power (like a regular tough solar g-shock). I sometimes don't want to run the heart rate sensor so I like having this option.
