I was going to buy one of these but I am saving up for an original 1992 5900c to get my favorite quirky feature- the left 'eye' is a tiny analog clock. Also I was born in 92 so it would be interesting to have a watch that's the same age as me
Late to the party, but some details: Original DW5900C came out in 1990 in 2 colors - standard black a gold accented one. There may have been other smaller variants in the following years. Reissue came out late 2018, originally with this and an all black "BB" model. Only difference I know is that the new one has a light, and the bezels are not compatible with the old ones (not sure about bands). Since then there have been another 6 variants of the reissue. I think all 8 reissue models can swap bezels and bands. Lots of other tiny differences in how they function.
The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie of all time and the original version of this watch was worn by John Goodman as his character "Walter" in the movie. Hence, the nickname "the Walter". Obviously once I learned this fact I HAD to have it in my collection... Really great piece and wears a lot better than it's dimensions would imply.
The tragically funky, forgotten square. Wish this was more popular and received more colours. Let's face it, we're not wearing gshocks for their legibility.
I have that exact same model and I have put that bracelet on it. My only issue with the watch is that because the small display is recessed quite deep, often it is obscured by shadow so can be a little hard to see. I love the retro look though and wear it regularly.
It’s funny that you mentioned the digital display being difficult to see because while I am younger and don’t need glasses despite being far sighted, I find it annoying when the shadow from the plastic dial frame around the digital dial often obscured visibility of the dial.
I love the DW5900 retro style. But I didn’t get one because it only has a 60min stopwatch. And the combi bracelet should fit, as well as the nice GW5000 strap. :)
Please show us the timer functions in all your reviews. Whether they have repeat function. Also show the alarms whether it has a Snooze function. They are both important
I had an original version of this in the 90's (DW-5900C). There were a few differences; the left circle was an "analog" clock display which was cool but almost impossible to read and the right circle was a seconds display with 60 segments that filled up as the minute progressed. And the date wasn't dot matrix like this version, it was the normal 7-segment digits like the time display. The colour scheme was the same aside from "protection" and "g-shock" weren't white, they were orange.
Good video..This watch has JUST been discontinued by Casio ..I managed to grab one ..I paid full retail ... the First time I have ever done this and I have a mountain of watches.. Mine is in the exact same colours as the one in the video.... This is a future collector's item..FOR SURE.
Sorry for too many comments. Do you , or anybody reading this, know if there is a g-shock whose case and strap are of brown color? Like light chocolate 🍫 (or 💩 poop🤗) color? I just want that color since seems almost no watch maker makes that color except those gimmicky wooden case watches.
Yes there is, checkout the Oak series. They have the brown dessert ish colour. And there's also the basic square digital G Shock with chocolate (as in the poop) colour as well. Will come back with the model names if I remember. But yeah, they exist
No it does not make sense. Upto 5 seconds here, the rest somewhere there. And that is why we absolutely love Casio. I got the blue psychedelic one but display is horrible. This one with positive display seems better.
That "Hi-Vis" watch looks awesome on your wrist. You and I have larger wrists, does that wear well? I too am required to wear Hi-Vis at times at work. If that came in orange I would certainly be sporting one.......... Great video, but like you said that display screen is too small. Nearly useless IMO. One of the few times I've been disappointed in Casio. Can't win them all I guess.
