Yup, they are a bit "retro" looking and the large round ones have become more popular over the years, but I still love them more than other models

As always a great video, I had a hand me down 5500 at the turn of the nineties, sadly lost it circa 2004, it had a couple of battery changes and that was it, made me a G fan for life, currently own a GWM 5610, once again thanks.

Great evolutionary video, thank you. I've got the DW-8300 which I've been giving a good old servicing over the last few days, now it's really sparkly. My son is amazing miniature model painter and kindly refreshed the G-Shock and Illuminator logos perfectly to match with the original colours. My only design gripes are that the buttons are very recessed which I think could have been better being far more prominent and would still be equally aesthetically pleasing. I also wish the backlight would stay on for double the length of time it does, especially important if you need to use other features such as the stop watch at night. For servicing and maintenance, everything comes apart with 16 x cross-head screws and you can easily clean every part of the inner and outer casing, wings and straps. The battery is a nice big CR2016. Overall, it's a very tough and not-so-little vintage timekeeping beast!

My first G Shock was a 5600C I bought in 1994, and is still with me. Now I have several G Shocks, but love that first G like any other in my collection.

The DW-5600C always reminds me of Keanu Reeves' "Speed" just like what it's mentioned on this video. I always dream of having this when I was a kid.

Would have loved to have the dates in the vid...

I think the 5600 series has been the longest continuous selling G-Shock line since 1987 to 2023 and beyond

I really miss my DW-8100. Purchased from The Sharper Image. It was huge. It was resin and metal. It was my first with the electroluminescent light. It had the funky heads or tails G on the dot matrix screen. It was super comfortable to wear. Too bad the resin cracked at the end 😥

Awesome guess we are having part IV after all, excellent video.

This is wonderful. I love your G Shock Videos. Have you ever considered doing a “History of Metal G Shocks”? Subscribed.

As usual a great review, myself too being a gshock fan would really appreciate if you could do a video on that Casio series of watches with games as my growing years was in 80's I was too fasinated by seeing those different Casio watches.

What an amazing video! Thank you!

WTF man so many nice looking watches. I din't have any idea about them. Generally i love the shape of Casio watches as i was a young kid in the 90's , and yesterday i bought my first G-SHOCK a brand new GW-M5610-1ER because of the 1983 style. I love these retro old styles. Man so beautiful watches. Sometimes i watch them not for the the time just for the look of them. I also i have the f105w. One thing i like very much about the f105 and f91 and the other of this series , is that they have the most loud hourly and alarm sound for so cheap watches, and i love loud alarm watches. Sometimes when i am 2 steps from sleep , my F105 make the hourly beep sound and wakes me up hard, this is a torture but ok. Nice video by the way sir, you have made very good job .

I hope Casio will reissue a few of these.Buying second hand the very old ones is risky due to resin rot,high price and no available parts.Sooner or later i'm shure that after market parts will be available for the old models.Maybe Wilma Gifts will produce a wider range

Thanks for sharing

Was there ever a part 2 of this?

Wish Casio would 'also' make a slightly bigger DW5600 at 46.5mm wide up from it's 42.8. When looking down on my wrist it looks fine but when looking in the mirror i can't help feeling... it's just a bit too small. A Skmei 1134 lookalike is 50mm wide (similar to the GX56) and at that size it's just too big (like a mini TV screen on your wrist). Having tried both and looking in the mirror there's a definite size sweet spot right in between the two. A slight size increase would still fit under a sleeve, remain a smallish/medium classic G-Shock, but look less retro and more modern-era masculine. The venerable and iconic submariner has it's bigger Sea dweller so why not a slightly bigger 5600.

hey man, can you talk about the g-shock 9052? Thank you

and the casio f30? There is not a single video and it is a watch that came out great. I remember the year 92. The buttons were made of rubber and weighed less than a feather. They are hardly found anymore. And new much more difficult.

I love the 5610 it looks like the original from 83 aswell just doesnt have the screwback and isnt made in japan but in thailand but suits smaller wrist sizes compared to the 5600 and is lightweight when compared to the 5000 and has the best features in such a small and sturdy package. Iv had mine over two years as a daily beater and it is the one and only watch anyone will ever need. No need to set the time or change batteries ever no nonsense accurate time as it updates daily. What a steal. It also has a battery saver mode and a light feature that turns on when at viewing angles which is so clever and works everytime. I just leave mine in the garden twice a year for it to charge the battery as ots come down the medium and now for the past 4 months has been on high so the solar power function also works really well.

You skipped the DW-5800 :o)

That's how the EL backlight was called in Japan

I've got two of the currently available models - I paid about $45 for each One is for everyday use that includes grinding and welding and the other for getting dressed up, like when I go to Walmart. I re-set them on the 1st of the month - they each gain like 10 seconds

I got an ad for s shock watches. Yes, s shock

Original g shock was da bomb. Cant beat it. If I’m ever rich I’ll buy me one

I'd like it if they brought out one that didn't have all the logos and emblems and advertizing. Put that stuff on the packaging or instruction manual

But DW-290 is not a G-Shock!?

I have a DW5600E I bought at Target

A classical square G-Shock 56XX series, but with a barometer. That would be my favourite watch ever.

DW 5500 appears in the beginning of the 1987 movie "Burglar" with Whoopi Goldberg. This watch is worn by a rich man robbed by Bernice Rhodenbarr the burglar.

Just cashed in a dw 5300 for 41.00 bucks in an eBay bid

I have the GW‑M5610U‑1ER it’s the best looking. I don’t like the other models.
