In the past couple of years Casio has released some really attractive G-Shock Squares, based on the original form factor of the first G-Shock from 1983. These newest versions feature things like Tough Solar to automatically charge the power supply and Multiband 6 to automatically set the time to "atomic time" right down to the second. The newest ones also have Bluetooth to connect the watch to Casio's G-Shock Connected App. The app can set the time for the correct "atomic time" in all parts of the world, whether you are within range of a Multband 6 transmitter or not. The app is also useful for setting everyday functions like the alarms, and other settings. With most settings, you have the option of making adjustments on the watch without the app or with the app connected. For some settings, it seems easier and faster to use the app. Also, the app will update the time on the watch in a matter of a few seconds whereas Multiband 6 might take a few minutes.
The set-up and functions of this GW-B5600 are the same as with other variations of this model AND the same as with the various versions of the GMWB5000 watch from Casio. So, no matter which of these watches you buy, you can follow my guide in order to use your watch. As long as it's a Casio watch with Module 3459 or Module 3461, this video is relevant to that watch.
The G-Shock Connected app is used to connect more than ten other models of G-Shock watches to smart phones and tablets, although the exact functions and features will differ depending on the watch. But if you use the app in its "Demo Mode" you can get a pretty good idea of how those other watches work. If you're interested in any other Casio watch which uses an app to connect to a smart device, I highly recommend a virtual "test drive" of that watch using that app's demo mode.
I neglected to show how to change the alarm time settings using the watch's buttons (and not the app). But it's fairly easy, especially if you have previous experience with other Casio watches.
Update: Later, I replaced the original watch band on this watch with a genuine Casio composite bracelet. Here's a video showing what I did... • New Composite Bracelet...
