I have the blue version. I love it and my problem now is that I don’t want to take it off to switch to another of my G-shocks , lol. Not necessarily a bad problem to have. I agree with all your points and the few issues(stopwatch function) should be resolved via update. Also for the people complaining that they just want a regular square with the MIP display, you can turn those options off and turn it into one as you stated. I actually like the sensor bump at the bottom because it keeps my wrist more aerated than my gw-5000. The screw back gets sticky with perspiration and it feels a lot heavier. Can’t wait for your excellent tutorial on this watch. Thank you.

I've been wearing this watch none stop for the past week. An amazing square that sits right at home in my square collection. I'm not a gym guy but it's been giving me some awesome feedback on heart rate, steps, sleep etc whilst I've been pounding the streets walking round London over the past three days. I love it, amazing G. With everything running aside of notifications, the battery has only lost one bar of power. I have it set to screen 2 with the heart rate monitor running 24/7.

I recently got the DW-H5600MB-1ER watch with a metal bezel, and I absolutely adore it. It's the perfect square for everyday use, as the perfect beater square. Although it has a few minor buggy issues at the moment, I am optimistic that these will be resolved through future updates. One aspect I particularly appreciate is the rubber strap, which is incredibly comfortable and soft. It appears to be made from a distinct material compared to other square-shaped watches.

@@televizor yes it has, they are micro scratches… I I particularly no bother by it as Is one of my beater Gym watch. It has been with me swimming, Sauna, workouts, you name it…and is holding up pretty well. Just some minor scratches.

Got mine on launch day in Japan and it's perfect for my niche - a brilliantly readable screen, great looks without the ugliness of the fitness watches, while having all their key features. Totally agree that the light needs to become a back button - I had to resort to the app to set my birth year too, which is surely a bug. Also, I'd like it if the Bluetooth icon didn't flash when the phone is out of range, but just turn off instead. Finally, I turned off phone notifications completely since it's all or nothing, and I don't need notifications of each Spotify song etc. If we could select just a couple of apps to receive notifications from (WhatsApp, Line, Phone...), then it would be usable. One other quibble is that the metal bezel version scratches surprisingly quickly; perhaps plastic was the way to go. Otherwise though, a lovely watch and I hope the screen will come to the regular squares too. Perhaps while retaining the original font...

That is a super cool watch. I do like the dual charge system. Where I live it's unlikely I'll ever need the USB charger but it's nice to have. I completely agree, that negative screen is super clear.... Excellent review as always!

The frustration about the interface is what I have with all of them: Each Casio is easy to use so long as it's the only one you own ... or so frequently adjust them that you've memorized the differences. This seems true across several G Shocks and then even the simplest Casios like F-91 or W-217 have one or two buttons not acting what you expect based on another model. I don't like that this got bigger, but freely agree it looks fantastic.

It's definitely a step in a positive direction for casio. They're trying something new and should be applauded for it. I'm excited to see what they'll do next. My only gripe with smart watches is that they become obsolete very fast whereas the rudimentary tech in previous G-shocks are basically ageless. There's also a more rugged aspect to them. Should they ever release one with a solid screw in caseback with the mip display and tough solar, I think that'd be and even better hit. Keep it simple with the functions we know and and love and remove all the fluff that (let's be honest) we'll play around with on the first day then never touch again.

I am wearing my gw5000 non-updated version, and am watching this vid more out of mere interest. There is something in this new model that puts me off, even though it a great watch. May be it is the charging clip, or the inaccurate fitness functions. But I will wait for some other release. 🥸

I've like 2-3 months ago bought GW B5600... I love composite bracelet! I sleep with it (to know the time when I wake in the middle of the night), as for daily use I have GBD H1000 😎

I recently got in to running and currently own a 5600 but wish there were more features for health benefits and then I stumble on this thing! If it’s all possible in the full review could you see if while in running it allows you to actively see min/km pace

I’ve bought apple Watches then always end up selling them I don’t really like the look. But this is right up my ally. The design on top of solar powered (I work in the sun) and still get heart rate and step counter. Perfect

Amazing review thank you. Cant wait for indepth review especially the fitness aspects 🎉

This is a logical step in the niche of "sports smartwatches", compared to Apple's wrist cooktops for instance. I expect now a basic square with this screen and though solar, nothing else.

I like it although it does seem a bit thick with the heart rate sensor. I would hope that the battery would last long if I was to only use the time/date functions and maybe heart rate but turn everything else off.

You can set the Heart Rate to only work during activities, then the battery should be OK using solar only

I purchased the GW-5000U-1JF a week ago and just got around to setting it today because I'm lazy in my off time. I purchased it because I am a great fan of G-Shock watches and wanted it to add to my collection. I have 4 others including the GWG-2000-1A1JF. I purchased the 5000 because I don't care about all that other stuff.

The extra holes in the strap is a welcome idea. My g shock king has the holes pretty wide apart. It’s annoying.

Hi! I saw this new G-Shock in a store and it has a good image and the MIP screen is supercool!!! I'm thinking to buy the GBD-200UU with the same type of MIP display.

7:40 - I didn’t know that about MIP. Always bugged me that my 3475 stopwatch only showed seconds, so thanks for explaining. Seems more reasonable now. I’ve just bought this watch a few hours ago and looking forward to it. I’ve seen on other reviews that apparently the hourly chime feature is back via software update. Can’t wait! ✌️

Do you think they’ll have genuine replacement straps on sale? I already messed up the coating on the strap of my blue/grey one

Just picked up the EX-1 version. Does this module have an hourly alarm function? Can’t seem to find it.

I preordered the DWH5600 and as soon as I got it I was a let down. It was a very high tech good looking watch, but it lacks 3rd party mods; you can't find mods for the bezel anywhere. The DWH5600 is a good watch for fitness, but not so much if you want to modify it to make it your own. I returned mines already.

Actually it is quite bad for fitness unless you call walking your dog fitness. There are sub $200 Chinese watches that just kill it in the fitness department compared to Casio. If you go above $500 the fitness is just stellar, especially in the software part where Casio is close to zero.

I would like to get one of these. But only if the heart rate monitor works better than the G-squad, which does not work well when arms are waving, like when running.

I've been using my 5600-2 (teal) in my gym workouts this past week, and the HR monitor is a couple seconds behind. In other words, when I really exert myself on a set, it takes the watch a 2-5 seconds for the HR readout to actually start climbing, and show my elevated HR.

Fantastic review, many thanks

Great review. Love the look of the watch, so right about double clicking for menus. Hope they do a software update on this one

Their strategy is flawed. The G-Shocks should remain in style as they are but with as much dumb features as possible. Basically Casio never adds more dumb features, they do slight changes, tweaks and some improvements. You'll get your package of SW, timer and alarm. The classic G-shocks is the platform for this package. They could try to expand on those dumb features for their mid-range but they hardly ever do, they just change style and the G-mob keeps buying it in new styles. For smartwatches they should create a whole new line under a new brand name. It could take design cues from G-shock or classic Casios, or even the Oceanus line, but basically be a whole new range, with top of the line features, smooth usability and AMOLED displays. This shoe-horning of smart features in to a G-Shock to please the G-crowd, who feel they're missing out, falls between the two famous chairs. The display real estate on the classic G-shock is in reality tiny and not suitable for a smart watch. And by the way, it seems from the video here that they also added the super hard buttons as in the GW-5000s? Nice, very usable.. The behemoth 1000 series is another example of trying to beat together a concept (smartwatch) with a platform (G-shock) that it isn't meant for. Sure, it LOOKS amazing. All G-Shocks LOOK blindingly spectacular when you're into them, but is it usable? Like the GBD-100/200, they look amazing, but the smart features seem more like token features to be checked off in a product sheet, so it can be said to anyone asking - if it's somewhat like a smart watch that on your wrist - and it can be replied : "Yes, it can do all that..". Not honest attempts to actually be top of the line and a serious competitors against Garmin and Apple Watch, as far as smart watches are concerned.

I own a Amazfit T-Rex 2 which look like a G shock, user friendly more than DW-H5600...but I still prefer my PRW-3000G-1DR. You are the only one on the Net who give some credit to this watch.

Nice video, i just received mine in grey color. Agree with you casio made a good smartwatch. Just shame they removed the alarm of each hour. Different language can be good to and change date format. I exciting about the future mods.

Is it possible to configure the clock information in Spanish, for example the date format?

A nice, and fake, or rather a reenactment of the watch unboxing. Today is my Day 14 wearing the DW-G5600-2, and yes, I love the blue case and band. I didn't know about the light button and back button being used to scroll up and down for other Casio models, yeah, that would be nice. I paired mine with my Android OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone and the setup, customization, and day-to-day use has been much easier...

If the watch is connected to one's smartphone via bluetooth, does that then mean that one cannot use say Spotify for music with wireless headphones that also connects with bluetooth?

Learning the new operation procedures would be great for me at my age just wish it could not be paired to the phone yet accomplish the technology with monitoring.

I have No issue with the notification System as i diaable all notifications i don't want to see on the Smartphone anyway. And all i want to see in the Smartphone is what i want to see on the clock I have my Smartphone in silent Mode without Vibration, so basically what i want is that the clock replaces the notifications from the phone. It still would be nice to select them individually, but other watches with that feature often lack an "Enable All" button, which needs you to enable every single app + track new installed apps yourself. So far i an very happy with this watch, if only the sync with the app would work more reliable/faster. Sometimes it didn't sync after 6+ hours until i forcefully quit the app and restart it

When I reach my steps goal it vibrates/sounds and shows and tell me, that's fine. What I don't want are the phone notifications like email, sms, other chats, Facebook, etc.. all the notifications that pop up shows on the screen; I don't like that because its on the watch screen too long. I have been unable to find a way to keep certain notifications and stop the emails, sms, etc. ones from popping up. It only gives an option of big or small notification display on the watch but whatever you choose, it stays on your watch screen for like 30 seconds blocking the time and everything else on the watch face. Only solution I can figure out is 1) turn off bluetooth connectivity 2) turn off all notifications which defeats the purpose of a smart watch Please advise if it's possible to turn off the notifications function from popping up on the watch screen or at least set the time for that to very quick like 3 seconds instead of like 30 seconds.
