Whenever a square classic G-SHOCK watch is delivered to me, I cannot help but be amazed. Furthermore, it makes no difference what year, series, or module it belongs to. Simply said, it’s the most traditional and comfortable watch type I’ve ever used. It has several great features, like being lightweight, small, durable, and informative. Today’s review on the site won’t focus on the most classic “squares,” but instead on the modern DW-B5600G-1. Phone linking is regarded as a sign of modernity in Japan. While looking at the DW-B5600G-1, I do not see anything new. Of course, a transparent ” swampy” style is certainly impressive. I’m more about the fact that the watch does not give the impression that it is a 2022 new release [the same as any other 5600s]. On the other hand, it is supposed to look like that. Japanese designers do not want the classics to go away – it’s their history, worldwide love [since childhood], and recognition. But they also understand another thing – the G-SHOCK brand requires an update. The DW-B5600 [and others with Smartphone Link functionality] act as a bridge between the past and the future. The DW-B5600 signifies the entry of the low-cost “plastic” segment into the mass market, whereas previously Bluetooth functionality was only found in high-end products like the GMW-B5000. That is an interesting direction for evolution, which is set by time and technology and not by the manufacturer. If there weren’t industry competition in the form of smartwatches and multi-sport watches, I believe CASIO would still be producing traditional watches. Otherwise, you have to change, no matter how painful it may be. In any case, the challenge has been accepted, and we can now see the new-old shocks in the DW-B5600 body. The main difference between the new epoch and its predecessors is the Smartphone Link functionality. Considering that, the DW-B5600 is not the first inexpensive square G-Shock with Bluetooth, because there is also the GW-B5600 [which I own], but it is definitely the first polyurethane G-SHOCK which can also be called the cheapest in this segment. The watch seems to be perfect affordable, classic-looking, and supporting modern features. That is true, but phone Sync cannot be referred to as technological advancement in the watch industry. It is just a great addition to the watch, nothing more. I’ll explain, but let’s first look at all the functionality via the CASIO WATCHES APP. The process of connecting your watch and phone. You will be able to see the watch in the app once your phone has “found” it. A set of menus that your phone can control. Basically, you can adjust all of your watch’s settings from your phone. Example of timer and alarm settings. Adjusting the time synchronization and choosing the second time zone for world time. Phone finder function [audible notification] and daylight saving time setting. As you can see, nothing has changed overall other than the ability to use the Phone Finder feature to locate your phone. No pedometer, calorie counter, or intelligent alerts. Yes, there is automatic accuracy correction, which is awesome. It also provides comfort and makes adjustments simpler. It is no longer necessary to press the small buttons and understand the logic of the settings; it is much easier to do so on the phone. In fact, the DW-B5600G has duplicate capabilities, but only from the phone, and the phone adds little to the watch’s capabilities. I’m sorry for the play on words, but I think you get my point. So what am I driving at? It’s not enough for me. I expect more from such integration. But who am I kidding? Without the MIP display, no one will be able to make a watch more functional. GBD-200UU-1 with MIP diplay And with the MIP display, CASIO has no problems with calories, pedometers, etc. So I’ll put my skepticism aside and enjoy the new DW-B5600’s features. The dial inversion is a little embarrassing, but I’m so used to it in the 5600 that I just accept it. There is, however, a nice backlight that minimizes readability issues. The inversion, on the other hand, makes the watch more aggressive and stealthy. I, personally, like this design a lot. I’d also like to draw your attention to the strap. In addition to its swampy transparency [the style is extremely unusual], it is noticeably wider than its classic counterparts. An extra point for the original style. And the main disadvantage is the lack of solar power. Even though a CR2016 battery will last for three years, solar power is preferable. However, even with the “Solar Battery” my GW-B5600 failed after five years [possibly due to insufficient use]. Conclusions If I were asked “what affordable G-SHOCK watch would you recommend?”, I would definitely point to the DW-B5600. The reason is simple Smartphone Link is a more interesting feature than just a regular module. Would I buy myself a watch like this? I doubt it, my square favorite is still the GW-5000U-1 without Bluetooth. *Valdemar, specially for & Support Ukraine & Stay Healthy! It’s hard to beat G-Shock in terms of ruggedness. As a matter of fact, I think their logo should appear next to “Bombproof” in the dictionary. Unfortunately, the majority of G-Shock watches are humongous, making us slender-wristed folks feel a bit left out. However, there’s still a ray of hope for small wrists; the Casio G-Shock DW-5600. In this article, I will explain why I think it’s the best G-Shock watch for small wrists! MeasurementsG-Shock DW-5600Case Diameter43mmLug-to-Lug49mmCase Thickness13mmLug Width23mm As someone with small wrists, I scoured the internet for a tiny G-Shock, but most people recommended getting a Baby G instead. As I was about to step on my last bit of manliness and get a Baby G, an angel came down from heaven the DW-5600. Its square case makes this G-Shock wear extremely small, so it looks amazing on my wrist. As you can see above, there’s no lug overhang, no strap that sticks out too much, it’s just perfect! Although it fits on small wrists, I still consider the DW-5600 a bulky piece. You might have difficulty sliding it under shirt cuffs, and you will definitely feel its presence all day. Fortunately, it’s very comfortable despite the bulkiness, which makes it the perfect tool watch. SpecificationsG-Shock DW-5600Movement3229 ModuleWater Resistance200m / 20 barScreenLCDFunctionsStopwatch, Timer, Alarm, EL Backlight Just because it’s small and affordable doesn’t mean the DW-5600 isn’t as good as other G-Shocks. Of course, it doesn’t have a fancy GPS system or atomic clock like higher-end models do, but it can compete in every other way. For instance, it has 200m of water resistance, which is now G-shock’s standard. This means that you can take your DW-5600 underwater every single day and it will feel at home, even at deeper levels. The Casio 3229 module powering the DW-5600 keeps time with a basic quartz movement. Accordingly, it will be accurate to around +-15 sec/month. Considering the fact that it has a pre-set calendar up until 2099, you will basically only have to set the day & date about once a year. Depending on which functions you use, the battery should last 2-5 years. Speaking of which, the DW-5600 has three main functions; Stopwatch, Countdown timer, and alarm. The one I use the most is definitely the countdown timer. Whether it’s to measure cooking time, a meditation session, or something similar, you will certainly find a reason to use this function at least once a day. After that, the alarm function is probably the one I enjoy the most. I use it mostly on trips when I don’t have access to my regular alarm clock, or if I want to make sure that I’ll wake up even if my cellphone battery dies. I’m not a sporty person so I barely use the stopwatch, but I think runners and gym-goers will certainly find this function to be vital. One function I do find myself using quite a bit is Casio’s famous electro-luminescent backlight. This one provides a bright green light that will outshine any traditional analog watch lume. DesignG-Shock DW-5600StylingTool WatchMaterialResinCaseSquare Although the word G-Shock is now often associated with bulky round watches with tons of buttons, the original G-Shock was actually square. Indeed, Casio introduced the DW-5000 square G-Shock in 1983 to get into the rugged watches industry. As you can see below, the original G-Shock is almost indistinguishable from the DW-5600. It might be a bit weird to say for a digital watch, but I think it can be described as a vintage timepiece. What makes the square G-Shock so popular is its simplicity and straightforward looks. There’s no extra touch to make it stylish, but this is what gives it all its charm. As Casio mentions on its website “The DW5600 can be worn from the skate park to the office.” This square G-Shock is sold in a plethora of colorways, but I feel like the matte black version is the most appealing. Not only is it the original colorway of the DW-5000, but this matte black case gives it an understated look that matches the basic vibe of the watch. However, you can get the DW-5600 for $40-$50 on most websites. For such a cheap price, nothing’s stopping you from buying 2-3 different colorways to match your outfit of the day. At this price point, I think the G-Shock DW-5600 can be seen as a premium Casio F91-W with added ruggedness and a slightly better brand recognition. As you can see in my wrist shot above, this watch is my favorite when it comes to changing car tires, putting together a piece of Ikea furniture, going to the gym, etc… The resin case and bracelet are almost indestructible so you should expect your DW-5600 to keep on running for dozens of years, even if you take it through hell and back. It’s also quite surprising how classy this G-Shock can be. Its small size, square case, and understated styling make it fly under the radar. Of course, it won’t compete with a Grand Seiko, but it’s definitely the best-suited G-Shock for a business-casual outfit. In conclusion, I think the Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is undoubtedly the best bang-for-the-buck G-Shock watch on the market. Also, it might be the only model that’s perfectly suited for small wrists. Fortunately, it has all the important features that you’d expect from any other G-Shock pieces. Priced below $50, you can’t really go wrong with the DW-5600, and I also think that it will make a perfect gift for men of all ages including teenagers. PROS Extremely affordablePerfect for small wristsVintage styling CONS Stiff braceletVery common If you are reading this blog, I think you should know what a G-Shock is and little bit about its history. In short, G-Shock is a creation Kikuo Ibe and his team of course in 1983 to have a “Triple 10” – 10 years battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and more importantly survive a 10 metres drop. Fast forward to today, the G-Shock catalog has an overwhelming model range. However, one model that stays true to the original 1983 model is the Casio G-Shock DW-5600. Nicknamed G-Shock square due its squarish appearance I think it’s a rectangle, this model has always been a favourite among watch enthusiasts. A couple of years back, I received an entry level G-Shock DW-9052 from my company as an appreciation award for staying with them for 5 years. My first G-Shock. It has a basic time keeping function with day and date, a single alarm, a stop watch, and a time. That’s it. It has the same basic function as a basic G-Shock square but in a flashier display and fancier case. It is quite wearable for my small wrist too. Getting this G-Shock started my itch to get a G-Shock square. That led me to the Casio G-Shock DW-5600 E-1. It is a square with a little more spice but not too spicy. Apart from having a basic time keeping function, it has world time. I do not travel a lot but I need to work with people from different time zone in my job. Having a world time watch makes it handy. The watch is also solar powered. Yes, it does deviate from the original 10 years battery requirement but in a much better way that nobody would complain, I guess. It is what some would call a doomsday watch. It retains the look of the original square and it wears nicely on all wrist sizes. I am not going to go into the full specifications for this watch but I would just say that it has an impressive specifications that should be sufficient for a lot of us. The Review PROS Retains the Original G-Shock Square Look More functions than a regular DW-5600 Affordable CONS Though the case is compact, the resin strap is a little stiff making the watch wears bigger Only one colour Not for formal occasions Review Breakdown Quality 0% Style 0% Value 0% Wearability 0% G-SHOCK has launched another fitness-focused smartwatch, the G-SHOCK DW-D5600, it’s second Powered by Polar follows the Casio G-SHOCK GBD-H2000, which impressed us in our in-depth review, thanks to the accuracy of its data and breadth of fitness G-SHOCK DW-H5600 inherits the octagonal design of the original G-SHOCK and celebrates its 40th anniversary.

There’s no built-in GPS, but it will piggyback off your paired there are only four workout modes too running, walking, gym workouts, and interval this is measured and recorded in the G-SHOCK app, which was our main point of criticism with the GBD-H2000. However, while a vast array of improvements could be made to the app, it seems less critical here, given that there’s a lower emphasis on sports and athletic life is estimated to be a week, but it does have solar-power capabilities, which means that the time will be displayed, even if the main watch has run out of battery. That only requires two hours of sunlight exposure per week, so it should be achievable. The G-SHOCK DW-H5600 is available in three models, with prices ranging from £269 to £389. US pricing/availability is still TBC. When talking about watches for everyday timekeeping, the term “tool watch” inevitably joins the discussion. Unlike a regular fashion or luxury watch prized mostly for its aesthetics, tool watches—like the tools in your EDC—have a specific purpose when worn. Tough, task-specific watches like pilot and dive watches fall into this category, making them popular choices for a daily driver; after all, these watches are designed to keep time and do their job even in the worst conditions. But ultra-rugged, overbuilt timepieces aren’t the only watches that deserve a spot on your wrist. The humble Casio G-Shock DW-5600 has been an EDC staple ever since it merged exceptional resistance and an affordable pricepoint with its introduction over 30 years ago.

Even more so when your day involves time in hazardous situations like heavy machinery or in the line of duty.

What’s the point of spending so much on something that might get scratched at any given moment? That’s what makes the G-Shock an easy first pick for a daily watch, no matter how your day goes. The shock-resistant structure that was designed all the way in 1983 found its footing with Casio’s first flagship model, the DW-5600, launched 4 years later in 1987 and kept its signature square face and resilient features to this day. Though technology has since progressed in the past 30 years, the DW-5600’s core features of 200 meters of water resistance, shockproof design, and versatile timekeeping functions still find their way to G-Shocks today. It’s a prime example of a product getting it right the first Recommendation 12345678 Learn more about this EDCThere’s a reason the DW-5600 and all its descendants have found their way onto the wrists of everyone from kids to civilians to servicemen and women on active duty alike. Try your best to find a hardy watch with 200 meters of water resistance, wall-banging levels of impact protection, illumination, and a complement of alarms and multiple timekeeping modes all for under $70, and you’ll still likely end up on a G-Shock. Whether its your first watch or your fiftieth, the DW-5600 will always be a solid and sensible pick for if you eventually move on to more exotic or specialized watches, there’s always a place for the incredible value the DW-5600 $ Robust Digital Watch Options to ConsiderWe highly recommend the Casio G-Shock DW-5600 to any EDCer, but in the 30 years since its inception, lots of watches offering plenty of value have joined the fray, even from within Casio’s vast catalog.
