Today we cover my favorite G-Shock and one that I find to be "the best"!
Simple, tough, and beautifully made with the screwback metal case, it is a beast while no nonsense module means there is nothing to go wrong with it!
This watch has been with me for more than 10 years now and up until a couple of weeks ago STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL BATTERY 😁.
Incredible for a battery rated to 2 years.
Stay tuned to see how it has held up in those 10+ years
Although one of the most basic G-Shocks when it comes to functions, the screwback construction of this metal cased watch makes it identical to the original from 1983. the DW-5000C, and as such, it is considered collectible and a premium model.
These get released every 5 years, and the one currently available is the DE-5035 I reviewed. But even if you you miss out on buying that onr you can always wait the year 2023. when a new batch will be released!

Watch Geek: I purchased in 1988 a new Dw-5600C-9BV, the yellow bezel & straps. I went to basic training in the United States Army and six years of duty, wear the yellow Casio the whole time. Discharged back to civilian life, wore the watch to hunt, fishing, sports etc. Until the yellow bezel fell apart and the straps gave out, I took the watch and put it in a travel bag in a closet and total forgot about it, then in 2018 I was looking for something in the same closet and it was very quite and I heard a beep come out of a travel bag, I open the pocket and behold there was my old 1988 Casio still running perfect with it's original factory battery, now April 26, 2020 it has been running for 32-years with the same battery. It now has it's own proper display on the mantle piece and never will be forgot again, one thing how much long will it run on the same battery, only "time" will tell!

@raksh9 4 года назад

It might be possible to get a replacement bezel and strap for your watch, and make it look like new again, or change to a different look. There may even be aftermarket bezels on aliexpress that can give your G Shock an entirely new life. How incredible that it was still running after 32 years. When the watch beeped in your bag after all that time, it was saying, 'hey, remember me?' Some things are meant to last forever, and that watch is one of them.

@AgentJot23 5 лет назад

I had a GR-8900 which was my only watch for about 4 years. After that time I decided to get another G-SHOCK something more classical so I picked GW-M5610. At first I was shocked how small it was but after wearing it for a few weeks I realised it's perfect for my small (6 1/4 inch) wrist. I sold my GR-8900 and GA-1100 keeping "square" as the only G-SHOCK in my collection. Wearing it everyday to work and for all kinds of physical activities such as riding MTB, fixing car etc. It's the quintessence of a G-SHOCK. I love it so much.

@rickeybobby9361 4 года назад

got a 10 plus year old 5610 solar atomic that's had an equally hard life and is still the benchmark that I use to compare accuracy of all the watches that have rotated through my collection over the years - that quality and reliability is something that all manufacturers should strive for. The best part is that kind quality is in all G-shocks so the collector can focus on personal visual appeal without compromising reliability

Good review...although I really never thought that I’d hear “puke & poop” used in a watch review. Just goes to show that you are a cutting edge reviewer, I guess. Anyway, I love my 5610 and have put a NATO strap adapter on it...which I find to be more comfortable than the stock rubber strap. It certainly a great watch, and I’m sure that it will outlast me. Thanks for the great review of a all time favorite. Cheers!

@ChefTom777 6 месяцев назад

My favorite watch are all my casio watch.. even all my non g-shock casios are all very tough.. Even if I can afford to buy a grand seiko or or a mechanical watch I will not buy a mechanical watch again.. If a mechanical watch dropped on the hard floor for even just 1 to 2 meters it will brake into pieces but if you dropped even a non g-shock casio watch from 5 feet or more it will do no harm to casios.. Casio really is the best watch in my opinion.

@WN427 5 лет назад

Your g-shock videos are why I started collecting squares. My favorites have to be the gw-5000, gw-s5600, and gw-s5600b, all because of your review you did on the -s5600.

A great g shock and a great video. I bought my first g shock in 1984, it’s the hero hockey slap shot model that saved the g shock brand. I used it daily for the first 10 years, but it’s now part of my rotation like yours. The bezel disintegrated, but I got a replica one from Brazil that is good and has lasted. I don’t even have a scratch on the crystal, the watch has been to the original gulf war and many things besides, including lifeguarding, scuba diving and wearing it whilst playing in goal as a keeper, brilliant. I will never sell it, it’s the DW5200. I have just bought a GWM-5610 for work, used, and I don’t doubt it will fit the bill perfectly, putting it through its paces, with atomic timing and solar power it is ideal for a busy CSI.

@wonderbreadmodelsandhistor1566 3 года назад

Great watch...but the modern 5600 I dare say is better. I’ve had squares dating back to the late 80s. The newer 5600 weighs much less which eliminates wrist flop, they cost less, and the calendar has been updated without the module being otherwise molested. EL backlight is far superior to what they had up up to 1996 as well. Dw5600 may be frowned upon by the ignorant...but it’s the best G yet imho. No hat...but all saddle

@joeytimberwolf2555 3 года назад

This watch isn’t from the 80s, it’s a remodel released in 2008

@wonderbreadmodelsandhistor1566 Год назад

@@joeytimberwolf2555 Not sure if your trying to correct me but hear me out...My first G was purchased in 88...a 5200. I had one of those and several more of the 5600C models that came a bit later. I would wear them until insect repellent would destroy the band or the battery would die and id get another for Christmas or my birthday. I got my first of the current version in 1996...the DW5600 and have been wearing them ever since. Ive had versions made in Japan, China, and now Thailand. IMHO its the best version yet (5600E). Better backlight, lighter weight, same functionality (perfect module) and even more water resistant. Keep in mind that's just my opinion and they are all fantastic. I appreciate the aesthetic that has held true, the lighter weight and the absolute rugged durability. I killed my GWG1000 Mudmaster two years ago when the smart crown (stupid crown imho) popped out while i was miles back in the woods...my 5600 still works. PS...while the old screw back original Gs were not cheap in their time...i wish i had known they would become collectable. I threw them all away due to dead batteries and resin rot...stupid me. I was a kid to my credit. There is a whole group of enthusiasts that restores these and enjoys them.

@PaKePo 5 лет назад

1:26 That's exactly the problem with G's today and why they aren't what they used to be. Does it fog inside and when you get into cold water? Mine fogged and the beeps sound like electronics when they get wet. Also the screen's gone blank a couple of times out of the blue last year

@nmot97 5 лет назад

Fogging I think is normal, If I am by the beach, high heat running and suddenly enter in the sea it fogs, a little but after 2 minutes is gone. But that's absolutely normal, all watches have air inside and that air always contain some humidity on it. I have a g shock ga 100 . I recommend you to watch this video, it will help you understand what I'm talking about and explains way better than me : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uQFuZL14Aaw.html

The problem with collectors that make "long term" reviews, is that they use their multiple watches only occasionally. So telling this is a 10-year review is a stretch of the truth-

@THX-C 11 месяцев назад

My favorite is definitely the Reprint which has the same 1545 module. It was as if Casio reissued the DW-5000C but improved it with thicker lugs and EL backlight. It was love at first sight. Before buying the Reprint, I looked for the Spike Lee but it was hard to find. I hear you - I’m very satisfied and may not even buy another Square (or another watch) for a long time.

@stinkystealthysloth Год назад

Of all the screw backs I really enjoyed this one's colour palette the most, it retains the same red pinstripe with blue and gold as the DW-5000c-1a but also the border around the display is gold, which is easier on the eye than the white border of the original. The caseback looks clean as well, nice signature. Only gripe would be the bezel text, I think it should have been dark. However that is so easily fixed with a simple replacement.

@WatchGeek Год назад

I had a 5000 and got it in 1984 I think? It went about five years before the battery died and I'm ashamed to admit I threw it in the bin! I did the same with the 5600 from about 1988 as I thought of them as disposable watches back then? I guess I should have had new batteries?

@ednammansfield8553 5 лет назад

I am new to owning a G-Shock and I must admit since purchasing mine which is the G-Shock M5610 with a negative display I love it. I was always undecided whether to purchase one as I have a smaller size wrist but after trying on a 5600 in a watch dealer I found it fitted perfectly and it cost £71 here in the UK. I purchased my 5610 in a sale for £104 which was at least £30 less than the retail price and was also pleased that it was solar powered and was radio controlled which was my main reason for choosing it over a 5600 model. Hopefully it will give me many years of service.
