Yet another perfect review from Mr. Rangeman :) Mate, first your wonderful reviews series on the GPR-B1000 convinced me it's a perfect watch, so I bought one. Couple of days ago I was looking around your videos and I saw the ones about this GW-B5600. Result: this morning 1st hour I went to a shop and bought one :) It's wonderful also... Conclusion: mate, your reviews are having too much influence :) I wonder if I should unsubscribe your channel :)))) Just joking... Very very very good review made by a very nice person. Congrats!
Your comment has just been pinned to the top of the comment section :)) Thank you so very much for your feedback and I'm glad I'm helping good and bad LML :-P The GW-B5600 is a brilliant little G-Shock, and really useful setting the alarm/s and such in the dark :) I've done another video/s on my GW-B5600 with a mod, very easily done, but just to show what is possible... I've called it Max69 after Mad-Max :) I feel all channels like mine are a bad influence, but as the world is going down the tubes, might as well spend what you can and stuff your Guinea Pigs so they have a great short life like you LML :-P Thank you again and have a lovely Sunday, or Monday depending on location :))
You bet I saw them both the retro max69 and the other video with the black stainless bezel DLC. I've tried to find level1000 but sadly didn't managed to find him on ebay, but also cousin "ali" from Asia is doing the job (with a two months delivery, sadly). Hence, already on the way from Assia (aliexpress) i have already those two bezels (also the retro watchband), some nato straps, some adapters and a bumper (i think it's called that "wire"). Still thinking if sandpapering the retro one will be applied...we'll see depending on how it'll look on the warn wristband. Deliberation time remaining....minus sixty days :)) and, who knows maybe you'll bring some more ideas on the rangeman or this model and keep us busy :) Wish you health! All the best from Romania.
@@dorin.dumitru level1000 sells G-Shocks and only had the kits for a short time... I can get them if needed, so maybe for the further hey. Worth the wait, they make a massive difference, and it means they will last forever now :)) Cheers :)
I got mine yesterday! Used but like new, zero usage signs, for 115$. It's my 6th GSHOCK in my mini watch collection...I like your tutorial, it's very detailed and useful.
*Pardon me if I’ve mentioned this here already, but I learned a hidden hack to manually check the last atomic radio signal reception. This was first done by Greg Anderson - The Good Timekeeper, in his review of this model. You access the Diagnostic Mode by pressing buttons B, C, & D (Light, Mode, & Receiving) simultaneously. A “J” or perhaps another letter will appear in the date window. In this instance, that J indicates one of the radio transmitters in Japan. Then pressing C (Mode) “RX” follows the “J” from the previous screen. Subsequently the screen that displays the last radio wave signal reception (not the Bluetooth connection time sync & update) is shown, with another press of the C (Mode) button. It will have “RC” along with the last received date and time. Another depress of the C button will take you to Home Time Mode.*
Cheers buddy... this was an old video I made on my old channel, and having a disability with being dyslexic, it's not easy, and talking about a watch that has many functions is also a challenge behind a camera. Maybe try filming yourself talking through the watch, then see how you sound, it isn't easy to flow, unless you're a pro news reader. I appreciate you giving a tip, am cool with that, but non native English speakers, they find this easy to understand. Have a great day ;)
Amazing, extraordinary detailed review of this timepiece! One minor note: Riga is in Latvia and not Lithuania, but I think you know it exactly and it was just a slip of the tongue.
Cheers for the feedback my friend :) It was my mistake with hands up on this... I wanted to say Kaunas but couldn't remember the name, so looking on the map I just picked Riga for some unknown reason... I should know as I've been to Kaunas twice. I made a video there testing the GPS on three watches (Fenix 5X Plus vs Instinct vs GPR-B1000) and there you can see the beautiful Old Oak tree park. I absolutely loved it there... Myself and Mrs Rangeman went there for Christmas one year, and the next year in May we decided to go again but for two weeks. Became a local knowing the town and living in a rented apartment. Will be going back again next year, but on the coast by the sea for a week :)
Just discovered this video. Obviously we have the same analysis about G-Shocks. I own this GW-B5600 as an everyday city watch. I also own the amazing GWN-Q1000 for seaside activity (including diving), for winter season (for temperatures) and for walking my dogs (weather predictions through barometers). I also ordered the GPR-B1000 as I have been into tough situations that could have turned into disaster and where this watch could have been a very useful survival backup.
Hey buddy... cheers for your comment and welcome to the channel :) The Gulfmaster is an incredible watch, and it's the one I choose for my kayaking and water activities, and I have mine on the bracelet, which I made a video about, and that's the best upgrade I've done on it :)) I have the GPR-B1000 fully covered with tutorials, pointless tests and mini movies, which is all found in my playlist, so fill your screen, cheers :) Btw, the GPR-B1000 is my favourite watch :)))
Thank you for the feedback my friend... just to add there's another video that adds more details that I found out through a subscriber, and it's pretty hidden too... here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axcylBsM_E4.html Plus this little run video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A6kYBwNZ18E.html Cheers and HaPpY weekend :)
Thanks for such (a) thorough review(s), I love to see all what a watch has and can do. And I didn’t realise this GW-B5610 has quite a few more tricks... ehm, under its sleeve... than my GW-M5610. Almost tempted to upgrade!
Buddy, have you seen also my GLX-5600 video??? That really has a sweet treat inside especially with the timer and stopwatch. The squares are still the most practical in everyday... and the GW-B5600 is a wolf in sheep disguise :-P Cheers and let me know about my GLX-5600 :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Just had a look at your GLX-5600 review (watched more specifically the tide/moon graph and extra features within the stopwatch and timer). Clearly another amazing review of yours of another great square G-shock, but that one is not for me, it’s not the features I want (except for the moon (müne 😛) dial which I love - I love when a watch shows the moon and also sunrise and sunset times (like the more advanced and bulky (and pricy) watches of the G-shock range)).
@@brunosco I forgot the part with Müne LML :-P Compact moon/tide with sunset and sunrise.... GW-7900 has most of it, but not the sunrise feature... the new G-Lide GBX100 square has it all :))
Mr Rangeman: After watching your video, I ordered myself a GW-B5600. I already have the G-Shock app installed and I'm just waiting for the watch arrive. You've convinced me that using the G-Shock app will be the fun, easy and thorough way to set up this watch. Thank You!
Hey buddy, the squares are the only series of G-Shock that have been around since 1983, think you'll understand why when your GW-B5600 arrives ;) A big plus with having the app, is that you can setup everything on the watch, not only that, you can easily adjust functions at night without using the backlight on the watch... find my phone is handy too. I've posted a few other videos on my GW-B5600 with regards to the test screen with a hack I found making the backlight test only in red, plus fitting a DLC black metal bezel, plus turning it into a Mad Max watch ;) Which version did you go for? Looking forward to your thoughts soon... cheers bud ;)
@@jb6027 Looking forward to your feedback... just to add, you can view the battery level when it's connected through the app... also you can rename the world times places to whatever you desire... I did have a video on this, but will probably film it again... cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I just set mine up. Very easy using the App. Thank you! My only very minor grips is that I wish that ALL off the time zones were programmed in it, then one could scroll though and select one of them , like on some of the Citizen watches.
Hi, first of all thank you for such a complete review and tutorial. Being a non-native of the English language I do appreciate your calm and clear speech. You are right, it's easier to understand for us non English speakers. I have a question, how do you feel the negative display holds up for this model, as a daily watch? I only have the 1 G-Shock DW-5735 with the golden dial, which I enjoy. Had the classic DW-5600-E for a couple of months but found the display weak and underwhelming, and the the buttons were crap. Now I had the GD-350 with negative display, which was perfect, but found that the style and size was too big for my taste. Just would love to hear your POV now that you’ve had the watch for more than a year. Cheers and stay safe and happy, best regards all the way from Mexico.
Hey buddy, cheers for your feedback... I do have a disability with dyslexia so my talking is a little different, but to non native English speakers they all find it a nice pace to follow, and you're another viewer who's given me a nice boost with a compliment :)) For a daily watch the GW-B5600 is a brilliant watch, the negative display is really nice in day time, but come the evening, you will need the backlight being honest. The negative display is really made for those who want the all stealth blackout look, but being on the side of practical with the need of an easy to read display, then positive is the way... there is a gold version of this watch, well not so gold, more on the face of the watch, but that's the only version to have a positive LCD display (GW-B5600BC-1ER) there might be another one thinking about it, but the model number I've mentioned is with a yellow/gold display that's easier to read than negative. The GD-350 has one of the best negative displays, so a shame it's a little big... now have you seen the CBX-100 G-LIDE?? this has some nice features, but does have a different way to navigate around this watch, plus it's not solar... I've not seen one in person, so can't give you my honest thoughts, but does look slender and uses the MIP display, which is really sharp in all lighting. Is it the negative display you need the most?? Cheers :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thanks for your response. To be honest, I haven't had a negative display in a long time (putting a side the GD-350), and kind a think I'll give it a chance, just put in the order from Azmn US; back at home the watch goes for like between double and 4 times the price. If I don't enjoy it I'll flip it. Curiously, the CBX-100 is available here for the retail price, but have seen some videos on how it functions and looks, and don't know if it is the right fit for me. I confess I'm a vintage and diver fan, but having my first G-Shock last year opened my eyes to this great watches. Mind you, I've always loved and had digital Casios and Timexes around since childhood; the watchbug hit me like 38 years ago, hahahaha. Stay safe and have a great weekend. PS- Will be watching some of your other videos along the weekend👍🏽
Cheers buddy... try and get the version with the bracelet, so comfortable and easy to adjust when needed... maybe you'll swap the resin bezel for metal, which I've posted a video about... good choice, very stealthy, but if you prefer the positive display there are versions available, as some don't like the dark display... cheers :))
Thank you very much! This has helped me for a great deal! I thought that the casio 3495 model came with the date setting day and month only! I didn’t or wasn’t Shure of atomic time keeping with radio signal or only was via Bluetooth!? But it has both. Once again great info! Overal this is the best watch to have it has atomic time keeping via radio signal solar and Bluetooth. Only downside of this watch: It doesn’t have a battery meter between high medium or low. It only shows wen the battery is low. Who know Casio wil perfect this watch
I have the same watch with the blue bezel. In the time zone map you can set the location to Exactly spot on the planet where you are but it still uses the time in the zone you are in
Very thorough video. Thank you. What about two or more reminders? If I have two, and short press Button A, I only see the first reminder. How do you see the others on the watch? Thanks.
I feel it will always be a legend, iconic and timeless... the GA-2100 is close, but the square and the all digital style is a winning champ :) The new G-Lide square is the beginning of the new gen... solar version to follow I'm sure :-P
*_Just like the Jordan brand with shoes: they know how to keep consumers of their products covetous. They really get us when they say “limited edition”._*
Such an excellent detailed review. This video should have way more views. I think the GWB5600 is the best travel watch out there. World time, five favorite cities for quick access, and time swap. Although it's not needed, the app makes finding and changing the time zones you need so much easier, so it is appreciated. The square form factor and resin build is low key, as to not draw attention from would be thieves. Combine that with all the other cool little features, tough solar, and G-Shock toughness and you have a great international travel companion. Now, if Casio would just make a positive display in a colorway that I actually like... Perhaps something that looks like the standard 5610. What's the hold up? This watch has been out for some time now. I like the display of the GBX100, but underwhelmed by the looks of the bezel and less robust world time features. Love the sunset and sunrise times though. Keep up the great work, your reviews are awesome.
Hey my friend... thank you for your fantastic comment :) Not heard of the GBD5600, must be a new release? I think the biggest concern on the watch is the negative display, and having a MIP display would be a great way forward. The positive display version has the gold surround, but gold isn't for everyone, so not sure why CASIO haven't added another positive display with the stealth black surround? You can mod the LCD displays and change the colour just to add, but you need to be confident to take upon that mod. I like the GBX-100 G-Lide, can't wait to see what it looks like in the hand, but as of yet, no new G-Shocks released in the UK??? Have you seen my MAX69 video?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Apologies for the typo. I did not mean GBD5600, instead it should have been GWB5600. I have edited and corrected my comment so that it actually makes sense. I did see your Max69 video. That leather strap looks surprisingly good with the weathered look of the bezel and keeper. I do wish Casio would get on with more positive display versions of the GWB5600. It is almost the perfect watch for my needs. If they do not come out with more soon, I may indeed need to resort to modding a negative version, but I would prefer not to.
@@travelrefocused No problem, was thinking you meant the GW-B5600, but you never know so had to question myself :-P How confident are you with hobby things on a small scale? Patience is the most important, and I've not done it before and surprised myself... but will seen how it is to put the new film on soon hopefully... am waiting just for the reflective backing now :)) Cheers and and keep us updated please :))
Just about to order this, planning on fitting a custom steel bezel from Ali express, I hope it doesn’t effect the Bluetooth capability Fantastic review as always
If anything it should improve it, and I'm not kidding... maybe if it used a compass, then you may have to offset it a little... I have made a video with a custom mod I did on my GW-B5600, and also made another using a vintage bezel and leather strap... cheers for the feedback :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman finally arrived and have it on the metal camo kit, looks incredible Doesn’t seem to charge beyond 75%, am I not charging it long enough I keep it with some others in a display box but left it in daylight for a couple of hours today but still at 75%
@@valerin0 That's great, and pleased you like it... don't worry with it being on 75% as that's plenty to keep you going... now don't get tangled into trying to keep it 100%, just natural lighting is plenty, and wearing it outside for a day will top it up, especially on a lovely sunny day. Keeping it in an enclosed box will make the watch hit the power save, but you really should keep it in light if you want 100%... it takes a little longer than a few hours, but keeping it buy a bright sunny window will see that at 100%... don't sit it in direct sunlight unless you're wearing it, otherwise it'll get hot and you can burn yourself form the heat, not really going to damage the watch, but more for your skin, plus it's not needed. I did make a video about solar charging, maybe that will help you further... but at 75% just enjoy it without worrying :))
*_Peppa Pig’s dad, spectacular review, 😎!!! I usually rely on Watch Geek, Greg Anderson, & G-Shock High Fashion for my Casio reviews. But I may have to add you to that list too man._*
LML LML A few viewers have said that also, that I'm a pig LML :-P It'll be an honour to be added to your list, and yes, I'm a G-Shock/CASIO guy :)) Now, who's this Greg Anderson? Cheers buddy :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman *_My man!!! Greg Anderson is an accurate time keeping Casio lover. He loves Casios but also the Solar, Wave Ceptor, & Multi Band 6 technology that keeps these puppies running. He has tons of videos which WG & GSHF doesn’t, mainly pertaining to Casios & not just the G-Shock brand of Casio._* *_In fact, sir, in the diagnostic test screen of this model, you can see when the last radio signal was received. This is executed by pressing B, C, & D simultaneously. Then a few pushes of the C button will get you to that very screen. Casio stealthily gave us this feature in this model. I learned that from Mr. Greg himself. Check him out in your spare time. I know you’ll be impressed._*
That would be nice, but you can set a reminder to remind you to set an alarm, well that's actually that's just madness... "Casio, why aren't you adding these small details?"
Does the app turn bluetooth on and off automatically when needed to sync the time several times daily? Or does bluethooth have to be always on? That would be a no-go.
Hey buddy... am sorry to say that the GW-B5600 doesn't have this side... the GBD-H1000 is the more up to date G-Shock with regards to notifications... there are earlier G-Shocks that can alert your with notifications, but use old Bluetooth technology so not sure if that will run with current smart phones???
Hey, thank you for the really thorough review. Just one question -- does it have basic notification functions from your phone? Like displaying when you got an email/message or who is calling you? I have the black GBX-100 GLIDE with the awesome new negative display and that one does have these functions (it uses the Gshock Move app, btw). I would love getting the B5600 for the old-school look and solar battery, but would really like to know if it can display any notifications. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
i got my brand new gw-b5600, i charged it under a sun rays between 08.00 until 13.00 and the battery indicator showed half in the gshock connected app, but when i used and then recently checked it again in the gshock app, the battery indicator showed the battery was low again whereas when evening the bar showed that the battery was still half. so my question, does the battery drained that quickly, or do i need a few days to charge it under the sun rays to fully charge it?
There's no flashing light for snooze, the flashing light is for the notification, but only after you've pressed the backlight. If you want a great flashing G-Shock, then the GD-350 and GLX-5600 offers this deal for an example :)
I'm used to turning my Bluetooth off as a battery- and privacy saving measurement. But i cannot use the Find Phone feature, unless i keep it turned on all the time. Recently bought the Sand and Land GW-B5600SL version and looking for a titanium look mod kit with bezel, bracelet and screw-back... Anyone knows a trusted e-bay reseller?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman The option in app settings is called "Operating check of auto time adjustment function"... "Notify once a week" was ON. After I've turned it OFF, RC option on the watch came back. I'm not really sure, but I guess if it's on, then the watch automatically relies only to bluetooth connection with the app. Anyway, thanks for your tutorial. It helped me a lot.
Does the phone need to connected with Bluetooth all the time for the watch to find it or no ? Also how far can the watch and phone be in order to activate the find my phone ?
As long as the app is allowed to function while in standby then it'll have the connection... for me I've found 10mtrs is about its strength, but have managed a little further... but if you're in another room then it won't work so well. Hope that helps :)
The phone finder feature will effectively work in a small area, indoors it will typically work within a room. If you run it in the living room but the phone is in the bedroom or your car it will probably not activate the alarm. It works best for checking whether the phone is under some paper, a blanket or cushion, or just out of sight. It's also worth mentioning that because of the audio alarm this is also about the same distance you may hear the alarm from so it's not an impractical limitation. Phone updates and connecting to other watches seems to disrupt it so I test it every so often.
Is the “LOW” indicator on the third test screen for low power? ‘cause since there’s no battery level indication right on the watch (I know it’s in the app), I’d want at least some indication when going too low. Is that it?
Hey buddy... Page 3 in the PDF manual with module 3459 shows there is a LOW warning indicator where the date dial is, also that it has a LOW icon next to the DST icon. When LOW the watch will go into a low power consumption state, so no MB6, Backlight, Sounds and Bluetooth connectivity. Hope that helps you my friend :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman *_Casio should’ve allowed for a battery level indicator in some fashion, apart from the app. That just baffles me 🤦🏾♂️. Bad move Casio‼️ All of us aren’t ready to fully convert to indirect operation of our timepieces via smartphone technology. I prefer button pushes to access functions in my watches._*
That might be tight... I know trying to find the resin bracelet isn't easy, so links are going to be tougher. Now, I've ordered a resin bracelet off eBay which fits the GW-B5600 and yes it's aftermarket, but would be interesting if the links are interchangeable??? I have a 7.5" wrist, and I remove about two links only, which is about an inch... my micro setting is on the second hole with two holes left to make it bigger. The bracelet in my opinion is worth it, as it's so comfortable and easier to place on quickly. I will be reviewing that resin bracelet when it arrives, as I have other ideas for it, but will be comparing it to the original anyway, and swapping links would be something I would do anyway. Sorry I can't be 100% saying it's going to work with your wrist measurement.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thank you for the answer. The watch I am looking at is the GW-B5600BC-1er (golden), but I believe it's the same dimensions (48.9×42.8×13.4mm). Could I persuade you to meassure the length of the "resin bracelet when it arrives" ?
@@henrikolecastberg4077 Have you seen my latest video upon a cheap strap I got from eBay... in that video I have another resin bracelet which I show, and I show the spare links I've removed for it to fit my 7'.5" wrist, so you need just over half an inch more, plus I have two more micro adjustments to make it bigger. Those two spare links are longer than an 1" so you should fit it... I'm guessing it'll take over 8'.5" The gold version is the same as mine just to add. I'm away at the moment, and have another G-Shock to review, so far it's a surprise so don't know and want to film that surprise LML :-P
Use the SNZ alarm as that'll give you a repeated alarm... or set one alarm after the other, but with regards of having the alarm sound for a longer duration this isn't possible
1:12 G-Shock be like, "why are you leaving me here?? Come back!". 😄 This really seems to be the ultimate G-Shock. James Bond should be using a watch like this and not expensive "steel watches with dinosaur movements" that cost the UK tax payer millions of Pounds. 🙈
what are your thoughts on the negative display? I have a BB King, but the negative display on that one is just horrid. Very difficult to see the time with a quick glance.
I have to be honest, if you want a negative G-Shock display that works then it's either MIP displays which is used on the GPR Rangeman, G-Squads and the new G-Lide... or for me the GD-350 which has the best negative display for LCD. The GW-B5600 I have is a cool watch, but it's one of those G-Shocks that I like being the stealth type... all black with the blackout display just adds to the mystery of it all... but if you need practical then positive all the way. I use mine during the day, as come evening it's becomes a struggle and the backlight needs to be used. I've seen the negative display on the King and I wasn't impressed, so went for the yellow positive display, but the GW-B5600 is just a tad better, but not by a huge amount. I feel you want the negative display and are in the in between line... so maybe the new G-Lide is better suited... does have some cool features such as notifications and ((VIBE)) alert, and if you don't like the wording like 'G-Lide' like me, then you'll be pleased it's only on the strap side when worn, so swapping the strap would solve this. There is the GW-B5600 positive display, but I know this isn't for all with the gold surround. Maybe you need to see one in the hand to judge, but from what you're thinking I would say it'll just as hard as your King.
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman thanks mate, my first G-Shock was the new rangeman and the research for it was how I discovered your addictive channel.. also got the GBX-100 just recently. I’m planning to convert my BB King to a regular yellow screen.. let’s see how that turns out.. as with all g-shocks from the second one onwards.. you don’t need them.. you want them 😀 which is why I might still buy this.. but appreciate the fact you took out the time to write an elaborate answer and nudge me in the right way! Cheers
@@AhmedBinTariq I like to make people aware of options too, and so you have a spectrum of choice. I know the wanting can turn into something disappointing too, so being honest is the best way for me, as I gain noting but an unhappy viewer. I've done some modding on my GW-B5600 giving it first a DLC black bezel, now it has a retro vintage style with a leather strap, and I've called it the Max69 with Mad Max being its origins.. videos are found in my playlist. I like the GBX-100, but have ideas about how I like it to look, so far it's not properly released in the UK yet as far as I'm aware??? I'm doing a mod on my GW-9400 Rangeman, which can be seen in the Ultimate G-Shock Case video, where I've removed the print on the LCD display, which meant removing the reflective backing to reach the print. I didn't like the lines in the sub-dial, as you can't see the LCD especially when it's in sunrise and sunset mode, so now it's just blank, but decided at the time to remove it all so it's all fresh... but the backing needs to be replaced as once removed thats it... I've removed the front polarised film too, as I though the print was on the front, so have replacement films coming in... the front film was bought from eBay which is for a Nintendo, but it'll do the same job... and the rear I've found through Bang-good website. I was looking at using yellow, but have decided to go further and swap the LED's to red LED's just for something different. You'll need a very sharp blade to remove the top polarised film, I used a fresh spare retractable Stanley blade... then you have the glue to contend with, so I used GM tar remover... takes a while to get it all off and clean. I'm not sure just by placing a yellow tint will have the same effect, maybe you need a yellow backing too, so worth looking into it first, and maybe ask on the facebook watch group 'G-Shock Collectors WORLDWIDE' as many mod their display all the time. My answers are never short as I keep thinking of all possibilities to answer with, so hopefully you have all what you need, and it's a joy to chat to fellow G-Addicts too :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thanks.. that turns on quite a few idea bulbs in my head... btw I am also on that group... its a joy to see your posts there.. its like finding a school mate in a foreign land.. brings a smile to my face... keep fighting the good fight... and god bless you
@@AhmedBinTariq I know what you mean... great group and Andi is a legend hey with his G-Collection... I've seen many ways how you can influence the polarise film either from the back or front... but when peeling off this film take your time, and it's really important to use a fresh blade... am just waiting for my new backing, so hopefully it'll look even more sharp :))

Hola.. Lo siento, no puedes entender, y no estoy seguro si los subtítulos funcionan para español. Gracias por aprobar, y sí, es un gran reloj, he hecho un video de prueba en este GW-B5600 que es más fácil de seguir si quieres ver cómo funciona ese lado.
@@diggindavid It doesn't have the same features like on the GBX-100, this has the tide and some activity side with steps and the such... if you're after something more suited to this side, I would have a look at the Garmin Instinct... has a feel of the G-Shock, uses the MIP display, and has GPS with the HR sensor too... also has the ABC side all built in... maybe this is better suited for your needs... has many more options too, including a better backlight option. I've done video about this which is found in the playlist. I like the GBX-100, but some of the tiny icons looks a little scattered and small, but I can't give a true opinion as I've not held one.
@@diggindavid There's a few versions, but the latest is with solar, and the feedback on the solar is really solid :)) I really feel this is a good combo for your needs, plus still looks like a watch, not a FitBit LML :-P
Hey buddy... if left in the dark, then between the hours of 10pm till 6am... here's the PDF link looking at page 3 support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3461.pdf
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thanks mate for your useful information and answering my question😁ahh paranoid about powersaver mode..have a nice day brother from malaysian
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman sad it does not tell the manufacturing date. Nice review by the way. Just bought the HR-1DR the one with red accent. I just wanna how old is this since it is solar and most likely been kept in the shelf for a long time.
@@nurdemerassung7682 Hey buddy, the GW-B5600 was released in 2018... you'll have at least 15yrs plus I'm sure, and the battery is simple to replace, it's like other batteries in watches, so nothing with rocket science ;)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thank you so much buddy! Keep doing your thing it's amazing. Forgive my ignorance, my first time to have a square & solar/atomic/bluetooth, eversince I've been rocking GA series.
@@nurdemerassung7682 My friend, never apologise for learning something new, we are all on a path of learning new things, and I've learnt so much from viewers, and knowing too much will make you too knowledgeable and then you're become a villain and take over the world LML :-P
I don't think I want my G-shock syncing with my phone. Seems like an unnecessary complication. I like that my current G-shock syncs to the atomic clock and uses solar to extended battery life. These features let it keep perfect time without the hassle of manually setting the watch, winding or changing the battery. The strength lets me not worry about it breaking or scratching. I really like that the watch is durable and hassle free. But syncing to my phone just adds complication without simplifying my life.
Good comment... the side with G-Shock with their hybrid series is that the features can be set using a connected device, and this is useful for say setting multiple alarms in the late evening, as we all know the backlight on G-Shocks die after 3secs max normally, so there's a side... also adjusting the time when you land in a new time zone instantly, as atomic syncing won't work if the watch city code isn't matching. It does make things easier, but can make it more complex. I really enjoy my vintage 80's G-Shocks, this is totally off the grid... cheers for your feedback and thoughts :)
That's all depending on your location, so just do an open search for GW-B5600 for sale and see what prices are shown... it also depends if you want new or used.
Good to see it, though, as it is your confirmation it is in sync. Not seeing it would then mean there’s been more than a day (or so, referring to my non-Bluetooth GW-M5610) without syncing the time (pointing to a possible Bluetooth or radio reception issue).
@@brunosco *_My man!!! We’re not the ones with the problems partna: those who remiss receiving their radio wave receptions are the ones with the issues. Bunch of derilicts........🤔😏👊🏾_*
@@geraldogonie8116 If the auto-light feature is on, turn it off. That’s the compromise I do on my GW-M5610 (non-Bluetooth) for it to stay on hi almost all year round (just now in the winter, it drops a bit on mid then goes back on hi as soon as days become brighter and warmer (for it not being under my sleeve) again). The auto illumination is cool, but drains the battery wayyyyy faster. I hope that’s enough, cause I don’t think we should bother charging it on purpose.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thanks. meanwhile i found that it IS changeable. cost about 12-15% which is really cheap. so this is a perfect watch. i was thinking about buying citizen eco drive, but this little g shock seems to be the best watch for the bucks. casio squares seem to use a lithium battery: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u73oL7rWSmI.html&pbjreload=101#t=5m50s
@@raedchen1 Rechargeable lithium batteries in my opinion are a great choice, but some are getting confused to why have solar and non solar, so will be doing a video about that with my own view upon it... but these square G-Shocks are easy to swap the batteries, maybe get a new gasket and some silicon just to keep it like factory fresh when done :) Cheers :)
I've been told worse, but we are tall and speak English, and some say I sound like another famous person from a TV series, no idea who as I don't watch TV... but am not being Clarkson, we are just alike a little to how we talk, I'm mush more rude in life LML :-P
@@jesseparbhu6125 Great bike me friend, cheers ;) Currently I own a 1988 HONDA RD03 which was the original Africa Twins hand built by HRC, so an investment too.... and I own something a little faster, ZX12R full power 2001 model which I’ve had since new. I’ve owned and ridden so many types of machines, and the one that gives me the biggest smiles is my RD03, something special with that bike, probably because we’ve been friends for 18yrs and she’s never let me down. I’d like a retro Motoguzzi and maybe something from KTM, but Japanese bikes have always been my favourite. Last Yamaha I had, was a TZR250 V-Twin with the two exhaust pipes under the seat, damn that thing was quick, absolutely loved it! Gone back to winter here in the UK, actually, more like the Ice Age, compared to a few weeks it was shorts and t-shirts... stay safe buddy, and enjoy the thrills and powerbands ;)))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman in all honesty, I think it was a thorough overview of an excellent watch. I don't have the GW-B5600, but I do own a GMW-B5000, and I love it. Great job with the video.
@@ryewhiskeyblues I've had the B5000 a few times, as as I use my G-Shocks quite heavily, it would've been a shame for such a good looking model to look like the T800 in a crusher :-P Cheers for the feedback my friend :)
No problem my friend... if you're not going to use the connection, then this watch is still great, but you do lose many connection features... the nice side to Bluetooth, is that it keeps check with the time/date syncs, even more if crossing time zones, but also for setting the alarm/s in the dark, as we all know, CASIO's backlight duration is very poor when setting a function! Cheers :)
Hey buddy, this video was made a while ago on my original channel, and at the time was using the MIC from an older camera, now I use a RODES MIC and a much better camera, so maybe watch one of my newer videos and let me know if it's still poop... cheers :)
@PeteTheBush I think he's just a one hit wonder with much hot air blowing out the wrong hole, but always like to be nice on first strike LML :-P Cheers for your support my friend :))
Maybe you could imagine speaking to someone instead of the camera to sound more natural and less journalistic? I find it weird as well, but I respect your style and I’m still very glad about these thorough reviews. But yes, on 2x would make it quicker (obviously).
Only at 1.25x the speed, not native English speaking enough, you need to be at 3.0x speed at least LML :-P Some say I talk like a rubber chicken, but taking the camera and filming all its functions isn't easy, especially being an amateur like me... give it a go and see how you perform, but playing at a faster speed is a nice option, but only for those who are native English speaking, but most of my audience aren't so native, so find my pace really easy to follow... I have a disability btw, but it doesn't stop me making what I enjoy... Thanks for being nice with your comment, as mostly they are just bullying and acting tough. Hope the video helped, that's the point hey... cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I didn't know you have disability. Sorry if my comment offended you somehow. I'm not a native English speaker either but I think your video is very useful, informative and easy to follow. I hope you continue making more videos in the future. Have a good day!
@@PeterPing No offence taken, it takes physical damage to hurt me, I just wanted to answer in case someone else with a badass about them jumps in... It's all good with the speed mention, you did it will respect, that's how I read it my friend ;) This video is a few years old now, as it was on my original change, and now I edit my talking so the gaps are squeezed out, I take feedback and use it positively, this helps me loads... you'll see in my later videos I have improved. I'm dyslexic btw, and talking with so much details without making it seem a confusion isn't easy... and I'm really into the details and in the showing how it all works.... Making content like how I would want, adding time stamps and even re-writing instructions for the Garmin's I own, and the recently GPW-2000 which is a mind blow for many... so I have great strengths in knowing how things work, but my weakness is reading and writing, and thankfully I have electronics that guide me ;) Opinions and feedback is welcome on this channel, call is free speech if you like, it's all welcome;) Have just done a review on the GWG-1000, think you'll see where I've improved, but I haven't changed, just edited to make it at 0 x speed LML Cheers and thanks for the support ;)
Those big-ass G-shock watches have always put me off. They are huge, make men's wrists look like thin lady wrists, and their "toxic masculinity" design is just laughable. The version reviewed here is far more reasonable in size, while still maintaining their bomb-proof nature and literally the same screen real estate as the gigantor versions.
Here we go again, another tough keyboard guy trying to be the super perfect human... my channel is about helping and to review watches, not about personal issues, if you have only this side to talk about, then you won’t find it here... I have a disability and that’s how I am, and yes, I’m a robot with the amount of metal in my body. If you need help with understanding the GW-B5600 then ask away and I’ll help to the best of my experience. I type better than talking just to add.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Well... We have a lot in common. I type better, as well, and am a head trauma survivor (2015). My question was not as critical as you percieve. Oddly, my wife predicted the reason for your pattern even though I was baffled. She was the one my neurologist spoke with, after the accident, as I was barely coherent.
@@zelphx This video was on my original channel with a view count of over 140'000 and from that only 5 mentioned I was a Robot?? My audience is vast across the plane and most aren't native speaking/hearing English so have had many compliments how my content is useful as an English lesson. I really try not to repeat myself, make it understandable and most importantly try not smacking my lips with Urmmm being repeated. The watch has many features and trying to talk while holding a watch isn't a multitask i'm best at, but I enjoy making such videos and helping those who find watches like this a little complex. I have a different thinking side and also how I look at things. With the amount that mention I'm Robot must have acute hearing to levels in the voice pattern... it's known that this pattern is related to those who have vast knowledge of a particular subject that has many sub sections, and it's working from memory... politicians have this style too with the curve of up and down. I'm pleased you recovered well enough to be yourself... I'm dyslexic and had a massive motorcycle accident that left me in a wheelchair for 13 months. Sometimes there's a reason for why people act the way they do, so maybe you're better off not saying anything... I reply to everyone and don't just delete a comment, you haven't said anything rude or been aggressive, but my reaction is why are you saying such a comment, my channel is about being helpful, and your comment is making me feel conscious about how I talk. So let me know if you need any questions answered with relation to the GW-B5600 and I'll happily help :) I've done a few videos on a mod on this watch too, calling it the Max69 from Mad Max... quite a custom job that really makes it stand alone with a difference. Enjoy the Sunday and move on from the past hey :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I am glad that we aired out this issue... I was trying to get info in a light-hearted way. I am not so good at that. It must not have bothered me TOO much... I watched the video TWICE :) My main after-effect of my brain injury is finding the right words... my wife will help me find the words, and finish sentences. Being around me, she spotted your situation, whereas I was lost. BTW, I am a retired HS teacher. I just bought my first G-shock (GW-B5600) so I can have alerts to take my meds. BUT I am seizure-free now!!!
@@zelphx It's all good my friend... I get a few of these comments about how I talk, and I always reply firm but polite, and just to show I'm here to help further. I'm glad all is better with yourself, and the GW-B5600 is a great first watch... and you can see how it's still in production with regards the style and size since the first G-Shock back in 1983. Nice having the app side to set multiple alarms, also good with adjusting the watch at night :) Enjoy the G-Shock experience, maybe it'll start an addiction for another :-P Cheers!
