Battery needs to be replaced every 39 years. Battery will still corrode

At 8 years old, Christmas 1991, my Grandma gave me my first G-Shock, a DW-5600C. I've had a G-Shock Square on my wrist for most of the last 32 years. Now the GW-M5610U is my daily as a park ranger. It keeps accurate time and i don't ever have to worry about it. I love looking down at my wrist and thinking of my dearly departed grandma. 😊

first time see Podcastage... while ...not on Podcastage....

Yup. I agree. I have this new watch too but I also bought the original back in 1983.. it was the original GShock and was my first watch that I bought myself when I was 17 years old. Now I’m 56 years old & I was able to buy this watch again brand new. this watch has so much nostalgia and really makes me feel good to wear it and look at it because of that. I have a Rolex, Breitling & Panerai but ever since I bought this watch 6 months ago I don’t want to take it off and I’m spoiled to want my watch to be accurate to the second and never have to charge it nor set it. It’s so light weight & comfortable that you never feel the need to take it off.

I always enjoy your style of reviews. No nonsense, always good content. Love my G shock, it’ll outlive me for sure.

I have my 5610 for 2 years now. It went through a lot, especially during my time in the military. I put it on when i need something nearly 100% dependable. This beast of a watch will never let you down. Awesome video!

Yep - by far my favourite choice for day to day wear. It’s nice to have selection when it comes to formal watches and good lookers - but the 5610 is the only watch I really need to own.

I wore and am wearing this bad boy as a work watch for years. It was also on my wrist both the times my daughters were born as it is the most accurate watch I own. It will always have a special place in my collection. Ps, the video was great!

I picked this one up as it's the closest version to the original 5000 I bought in 1987, based upon looks. Yes the solar and auto update are different but it feels like I'm back in the Corps with the best watch I every owned. Things a beat and I it makes it into my rotation often. Great video. Thanks.

I have a 5610 and have had it for about 3 years and a g shock collector for about 15 years, and this video was gold! Love the points!

The 3159 Module is also my favorite. It gets bumped above some of the similar variants because of the power reserve display right on the dial. Easy to know when it needs a touch of juice from the sun.

I was about to get the updated GWM5610 but instead went the ProTrek route. I bought the titanium one but the PRW-30 (lug to lug is closer to 48mm) is just so much more legible than the majority of G-Shocks. What it loses in shock protection, it gains in legibility and triple sensor (compass, altitude, and temperature). Solar and multiband 6 allows for setting the latitude/longitude, which shows the sunrise/sunset times too.

Been using this watch for the past 8 years, battery version with Bluetooth. Till this day I never change the battery yet. Super Tank built watch! Definitely no stress at all, no need to charge, no complicated set up.

I thought it was an interesting & informative video, thumbs up &/or kudos. I got into the Casio G-Shocks around 2017 basically for receiving an AWG model for Xmas. Saw it spin up to life when I took it out of the package and was immediately amazed and hooked, especially for the solar and auto updating models. Considering that Casio has 40 years of history and evolution, even now when I look back, I wish I had information like this & options for some of the models that you outlined, years earlier. Thanks again.

One of my favorite videos of yours, incredibly narrated and never dull. Personally looking into a GW-M5610U-1CJF in the near future.

It is a nice successor to the GW-M5610BA.

Just got my M5610U yesterday (updated version). Swapped it into a custom weathered black stainless steel kit from Ali Express. Love it.

The auto back-light feature is cool too. It's my favourite G- shock for sure.

I got 2 of those all Metal GMWB-5000 and they are beyond awesome watches. I recommend these to any hard-core G shock fans. They are the pinnacle of the squares in my eyes yet I still appreciate the polymer versions.

I got mine last year. Blue GMWB 5000 blue with blue inverted dial, can't resist the dial combinations. It's actually my second G Shock in the past 15 years.

It is a solid watch for sure! Been using it at work, every day for over 5 years now. Can recommend this one!

I picked one up a couple months ago when I was doing a lot of landscaping work and became annoyed that I didn't have a watch I could wear when doing that sort of thing. Solar and multiband were must haves for me, and I have a 6.5" wrist so the 5610 fit the bill. Loved it immediately.

Yes, and I mostly agree! But only you’re wrong, the GW-5610U ! (ie with the 3495 Module) is the best G-Shock. - Timer with seconds - Backlight 3 seconds - Time shown in SW and TR screens - a few other slight additions The little quality of life improvements really took it to the next level for me.

after years of wearing F-105 and iconic F-91W iluminators i recently bought best step up, the same g-shock as it's on video GWM5610-1 and i'm very satisfied! it's perfect watch for working or military purpose.

Probably the best video I've seen on Casio watches. You can tell you put some time and effort into this clip. Well done 👍

Totally agree 100%. I am a Casio enthusiast. I own multiple G-shocks, ProTreks, and just basic Casios. For watches Casio is THE brand I use. That being said of ALL, my Casios the GWM5610-1 is my absolute favorite for all the reasons pointed out in the video and one more. The G-shock came out in 83. I was 15 years old. I think I remember it being about $40 and that was a lot steep for me at the time but man did I like it and man did I want one. The original looked a lot like the 5610 of today. I saw one in 2019 and I was in love all over again. Bought it post haste and it triggered a Casio fascination that I have to this day, got another on the way now,

A few years ago, I put mine on a composite bracelet I picked up from Seiya Japan and it elevated it even further. Recommended.

I just got the GW-5000 again with the Updated Module since the older one didn‘t display German date. I really really love it and it replaced my Vertex M100 as a daily beater. I constantly use the countdown-timer and stopwatch as well as the Alarm every morning. And I think it even pairs well with a oxford button down shirt, some nice chinos and a pair of good rugged shoes. It just has this honest hard working vibe paired with quality and craftsmanship without being a weirdo like the M100 or the poser Submariner.

I use the 5600-SERIE GW-M5610U-1. I like it because my 54 year's old weak eye's can read the time at ease without any other fuss like battery replacement & the untimely rain shower that occurs in Hamburg City in Germany very frequently .. As for the other features for the modest price & impeccable quality involved.. It's just like any other Japanese vehicle to fit the budget of a working class without hassle of an early wear & tear. A reliable timepiece indeed without the quality compromised!

It's an incredible tool for its purpose with excellent function and durability. One of the best watches ever made.

Agreed. I have the inverted screen one (combi bracelet), loving it.

That red border… so much nostalgia in that. ❤

nice video, I have my Casio GW-M5610 for 2years and I love them. These are the watches you don't need to care about, just wearing them every day. They are light weight, durable and always on time.

I like you’re point of view and how you explained your G-Shock experience.

It really is an almost perfect watch, sometimes I wonder why I have so many others when this one does everything I'll ever need it to.

I wear the gulf master which is the same size as the mud master. I have giant wrists so it fits well and dosent feel big once you are used to it. Had it years now and still like brand new.

Great timing of this vid for me. I have worn a Rangeman at work for the last 5 years. Love it. My new gwm5610 was just delivered today. I bet Gshock today, is what the 5 pointed crown was in the 60s. Thanks for the vid.

Actually, this is the same feeling I got when I put in my first "real" watch, a 14060m. It feels good to buy right.

I love g-shocks. My 5610 was eventually dethroned (dewristed?) by my GA800. It's a plain (no solar, no atomic, no sensors) analog-digital combo that is very legible, unlike many of the others. Standard 3 hand setup, positive LCD, and the light button at the 6 o'clock position. I swapped to the 5600 style strap as the stock strap did not curve to fit my 6.75" wrist.

I love my GMWB5000-1, the screw down case back is so beautiful.

I've got this one completely black. It is MY FAVOURITE watch. Full stop. I love it..

I do own one as well thanks to your review you published some time ago. Does not matter how expensive are other watches you own you cannot go wrong with Gshock. That's the beauty in them.

I love your comments so much 😂 they’re funny yet very informative!!

Great review! I agree with you. I've always said my GShock was the best one GW-S5600U-1JF. I can wear it loose and literally wear it all day errday

I have this exact one and I love it along with the white smaller casioak!

I have a coupe of squares. And I love them, I might not wear them, but I love them. And occasionally I find myself looking at more variations. They're just so gosh darned fun

I own G-5600E-1DR and love it for its simplicity and toughness

I just love this video. One of the most important thing is that we shouldn't listen everyone who is telling us about what we should or we shouldn't wear. Anyway: it's classy, sporty, much wearable, just an icon. Love it!

G-Shock redefined watches for me. My best is the GW-5000, the 2019 model year with the 3159 module and screw back. I also have the combi strap and love it...even with the crappy buttons!

I own a gen1 5610. The only G I did not flip in the past few years of collecting. After seeing your vid last year I also bought myself a coloured combo set (mr4, rescue orange) and I've been using it with that kit ever since. Just as you, I also rarely wear it considering I have other watches in my collection including a Garmin that always shows the perfect time via bluetooth connection. Still, I'm really fascinated how this little watch is self charging and self adjusting without being "smart". You only need the sun and proper reception. I also can agree on the size, it's the perfect size/weight for a lot of wrists.

Yeah, I have to agree. It was the third watch in my little collection. However, recently, I have been seduced by a bright yellow GA2100 which has many of the same features and a much better light. It is taking up a lot of wrist time now. I do love hands on a watch. However I am intrigued by the white bezel and stap kit for the 5610.

I own and have owned quite a few G-Shock watches but I recently got the 5610 and once I tried it on it has easily become my favorite G-Shock watches. It just checks all the boxes of what make a G-Shock so special to me. Light, not too heavy, love the square face, love its durability, has a reminder of the classic look but more modernized. Its just a perfect mix blend.

5610 has been my work watch for years. It can't die. The only maintenance I have is a soft bristle tooth brush and very little dish soap.

Both of these watches are amazing!

My fav watch in my collection, I added a black metal bezel to mine. Really liking the white look of yours.

Currently have the all black negative display version of this in my collection. Not the easiest to read but worth it for the stealthy looks. White bezel and strap might add another dimension… The only thing it’s missing in my opinion, which the original square G DW5600 has, is the ability to show both the stopwatch in the main window whilst displaying the time (without seconds) in the top right. Not a practical necessity by any means but I loved that function when using the original square G for my morning runs.

What a coincidence, I'm wearing the GWM5610U today. Such a versatile watch and many great features that could be added to the list (you focused on the right ones). Despite it's size somehow it fits great on my 6.25 inch wrist. As Eliazer said in the comments before, don't really need another G-Shock as this does it all. I had a GA-2100 but ended up selling it because it was a bit too big for me, as the things it can do, aren't as good as the GWM5610U, which I found I was wearing more often anyway.

Honestly any g shock square is a win in anyones watch collection in my opinion, the only thing I wish is that I got my G Shock in the tin rather than a standard Casio box (G Shock branded of course) with the stand.

This is my first and only G-Shock because of your other video. I love it. Trying to find a light grey bezel/strap. Thanks for the search criteria!

Fully agree with you. I own one and it is my favorite watch.

A big caution related to modding - the springbar holes on the lugs are RESIN. not metal. They are easy to scratch and damage. Replacing that inner case part might be difficult. I was changing my straps some and had some that didn't fit quite right and have damaged it some. I will try to not change straps any more or only do so carefully

I would agree, but the newer (?) GW5600 has more functionality in the same size case. It’s also solar, but adds Bluetooth, while still keeping Multiband 6. It also shows current time while using stopwatch and/or timer functions. Yes, I have both if these and still wear my 5610, but love the 5600 just a little more.

I've got a GW94001 Rangeman like the one you show early in this video. I love it. I call it the "Death Star" because of its shape and colorway and functionality. Why doesn't that catch on?! It's a brilliant nickname! If I were rich, or even middle class, I'd buy a bunch of those big round knobby metallic G Shocks which are "ugly' (to you). As you mentioned, there's such a huge variety of G Shocks that anybody can find at least one that they will love. And probably not just one but lots of them.

rocked my CasiOak today!! great video

I love my G Shocks and F91Ws. I wear them at the gym, when I run or when I do yard work. Unfortunately I'm too shallow to choose them outside the house over my Submariner or Speedmaster.

I have the same mod but i took the band and bezel from the GW M5610 MW 7 as against the MD 7 . The MW 7 bezel has black lettering and it really pops out! Congrats on your white mod! It does look lovely!

Looking forward to the next one. Thank you! I have a DW5600. Wears great on my 6 inch wrist. But somehow still prefer the analog display and feels like the digital display takes a bit of getting used to visually, resulting in a tiny bit of nanoseconds before the brain is able to decipher the time. Unlike the analog which seems more intuitive and instinctive,if it makes any sense. Anyways thanks for your videos. Always a pleasure. 😀

The Casio F91 has got to be the best value and toughest watch ever for the money. The only reason I now have more expensive watches is that I have a bit more pocket money, but I never kid myself that they will beat the F91 at anything.

100% agreed! I own this 5610 in exactly this and the black display version and for me it's also the BEST G-Shock you can get! Classic design, all the functions you'll ever need and... basically the only watch you'll ever need. At least it theory ;-)

This is going to be the first watch I buy. I am getting my EDC setup ready.

I've had multiple watches but none of them were as comfortable as this one. Literally using it every day.

Funnily enough, my all time favourite Gs are the 5610 and 9400 Rangeman like you featured at the start. I find it impossible to choose a winner between the two. However, for my upcoming holiday, I’ll be taking the 5610 over the 9400 just because it’s smaller.

Gshocks never appealed to me, but I have a kid and wanted a simple watch I could slap on my wrist 24/7, could read at night, and never had to take off for bathtime or swimming in the summer. I even sleep and shower with this thing. The only time I take it off is to game on the pc, because I’m ocd when it comes to that. I bought a quartz version of this used on Amazon, been using it for 2 years now. Every 3 to 6 months it ends up being off by half a minute and I just take a minute to fix it. Had to recently replace the band but it is hands down my favorite watch I’ve ever owned. Sometimes I wear my Timex Chrono but I usually can’t wait to get home from work to put my gshock back on. Absolutely brilliant watch. I might do the white mod kit and try that out because I do like how that looks.

Since we don't get Radio control transmissions, I obviously prefer my 5600 with the 3461 module (bluetooth). Thanks to the awesome app it also works incredibly well as a travel watch. My favorite G shock style by far... with 6900 coming a close second :)))

Couldn't have said it better. I absolutely love my GW-M5610U. It's simply perfect...for me :) I bought a 5610UBC just for the combi bracelet and put it on my 5610U. I'm not a fan of the 5610UBC because of the negative display legibility issues. If Casio releases a negative display 5610UBC with an improved STN display, I think I'd definitely buy one.
