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!
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.
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.
I've gotten into the G-Shock fever thanks to my dad who gifted me the 5610 last year. Since then my list of G-Shock models which I want to buy has gotten so long thanks to your RUclips channel!
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
Did u forget about the cool 40a logo on light display?? Mine just took out from closet couple months ago, after bought new. Still getting use to the weight of the watch. Best watch ever. I like the shiny backing. When on wrist u can see from the side. Cool.
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.
My solar powered casio pro trek prw3100 is still in my wrist after 9 years of continuous use It's my only watch I wear literally for every part of my life Had tons of unbelievable stories with it Everything is working in perfect condition Huge respect for casio for making such durable watches
I'm a fitter and turner and work in industry with oil sparks heat cold and lost of dust, not to mention all the hammering and vibration from all the power tools, my ga 100 7yo now and replaced it last week with a brand new ga 100, I can't speak for the other models but the only thing that I needed to replace on my old ga100 was a strap that got broken off by a lath handle and the battery.
Been following you for some time now, but this here was my first time hearing the intro on my headphones, and boy is it good! I regularly consult your tutorials for my g shocks and I am thankful for how accessible you make this information. Thank you very much!
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.
I clicked on your amazon link. Damn, Amazon people think they’re gonna sell that watch for $752. You can still buy it on eBay for a little over retail value. Either way, glad I bought my watch last year.
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!
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.
My first was is a G Shock Mudmaster G-9000-1VDR (G201). I love it more than any watch I own. In its own right, Casio G shock watches are the Patek Philippe of digital watches.
dude,you're one lucky man that had this screw down case back square models...make sure you take good care of it...simply because it is made from metal!! a homage to the original and first g-shock ever build DW-5000C
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.
Recently purchased a JDM GW-5000-1JF. Other than not being an anniversary model like this, its a screw back, stainless steel case model just the same. Obviously being a recent model, it's a Tough Solar-Multi Band 6 featured watch as well. I have no doubt it will be as long lasting as this.
I wish i could have a screwback G-Shock but for i really like the square gshock very simple and not the much small just a good size for my wrist. Thanks for this channel i really on this channel. 👌
That's why I never buy another watch after my first G-shock.(GW-M5600) They are durable as f. Didn't even replaced my solar rechargeable battery yet. Purchased in 2010.
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?
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.
Great review, love it ! b.t.w do you have any info about the PRE-GShock "DW 1400" ?? very difficult to find anything about that model, I bought it in the 80's and it still works fine.. including the screen no discoloration or leaking 👍
@@WatchGeek Thanks .. I just found this myself newdwf.com/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=8077 there is some useful info, but not entirely correct I think I said "Japan only market" but I bought it in the Netherlands and the series numbers are totally different my series nr 002187 seems to follow a different counting system
Despite owning several other and more expensive watches, I more often then not end up putting on my DW-5600BB in the morning. It is just that good 😊 Closest competition is my DW-6600.
DW6600 was the first GShock to show up in the market where I live! My friends wore them, I sadly couldn't afford one back then so I wore a Sharp G-Super copy of it 😄
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
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 : ruclips.net/video/uQFuZL14Aaw/видео.html
If you really want to spruce this up, you can probably get a replacement bezel and strap from Pac Parts. I have a GWB5600 with a composite bracelet, and I'm thinking of getting a resin strap for it.
This is an aged square, you can sell it for high price. I also plan to wear my DW-5035D daily, I think it gonna end up like that in ten years, or even worse.
I use one of these: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112004940438 I just put the gasket in, close the lid and twist it back and forth a couple of times, it cleans it and lubes it
I got 2 screwback; GL110 and MDV106. Still trying to find original strap for GL one, but i think I'll put GLX or GLS resin strap for it if i cannot find one till next month
I have question sir I wish u answer me what I want to know is the battery life for G shock watch especially any kind of tough solar so I want to know if the battery life stay for example 5 years can you change it or from the sun light or you not gonna changer it at all my means is if it’s a tough solar it’s going to stay forever charge with sun light
There will be thousands and thousands who will say it is impossible for a battery to last so long, but I believe you has I have a watch that the battery also lasted as long as yours.
I believe 20 bar water resistant is over kill I have a watch that is 50 bar I have swam with it took shower with it used pressure pump on it and it is intact
As a g shock and casio collector my god there pricey over time just added up everything and it was 12k worth of watches thats from mrg master g range all the mans rang i have and even a retro stranger things one thats legit wicked lol
Hi, I have a DW-5000 G-Shock which has a damaged strap and bezel. Could you tell me if there is another G-Shock model that mounts them the same? Thank you
Depending on what model you have. If it is a modern DW-5000, then a regular DW-5600E bezel and strap will work, BUT if it is a vintage DW-5000C then you'll have to hunt down a NOS one which is very rare and expensive, or get a newly made replacement from Brazil
@@WatchGeek Thanks for the quick reply. I have a 1983 G.Shock DW-5000 (the model with 240 mechanics). Could you clarify what NOS means so that I can search to buy the bezel and strap? Hello
@@enzo-vl5qt NOS = New Old Stock, meaning an item from that era that was never used!! There is a person in Brazil that makes new ones, they are not Casio genuine, but they do fit well, you should Google it, I think you have to email them
Yes, the gasket dried out, so I opened the watch, blew warm air using a hair dryer for about 5 minutes over its exposed back, lubed the gasket and closed it up
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-
Pozdrav.Nedavno sam otkrio ovaj kanal,naime,interesuje me kupovina novog sata ga 140,koji je istovremeno ako sam shvatio najnovija serija.Da li bi mi mogao reci nesto vise o ovom satu,i da li ces praviti recenziju.Naravno da li vrjedi kupiti.Hvala unapred.Srdacan pozdrav😀

My dw5600e gave out after 5yrs+ of daily use
No way!
@@trnmkhngthnh Yeah, they don't make them like they used to.
Wow! Running for 32-years with the same battery !
Wow! Every time I listen a new story from a G-Shock iI increase my respect and admiration to them. Nice video
This is why us in the military wear G-Shocks. Dependable, long lasting, cheap and simple to use.

Same very addictive I have four g shock squares... Three 5610 and one 5600 in rasta colourway.... Love these watches
I bought it 10 years ago as well, I was 16 and it was my first watch. I still use it almost every day and it is my favorite watch.
I believe, every scuff on this beater can tell a story.
Yup
Indeed
Awesome video, you are making me miss my gw5000, i sold it after i bought the all metal version. The only thing you missed was the wrist shot!
I have two gshocks on their 11th year. Both DW6900

Had tons of unbelievable stories with it
Everything is working in perfect condition

Every few years, it's a good idea to remove the back and then put a thin smear of silicon grease on the gasket to keep the seal moisture proof.
Amazing to have a watch like this in your collection that's been through so much. Excellent videos:)
Thanks 😊
Because of this video, I purchased and wearing the GW-5000-1JF

Love that this gshock is scuffed up. A testament to the strength and durability of g shocks. A watch you can smash and it might still outlive you

After all those years still looks pretty good
I have had same G since 1986..one battery change...I never use backlight is that why? Model 5600..best to buy. I will never wear another
If you had it since 1986, then it's a DW5000C and is worth some pretty pennies today :)
Definitely keep it
Fantastic watch I've ordered the solar and multiband 6 version of this watch

Very nice Indeed this is what watch collecting.. er no... owning a watch is all about! Great video!
Can the mineral crystal be replaced?
Despite owning several other and more expensive watches, I more often then not end up putting on my DW-5600BB in the morning. It is just that good 😊
Closest competition is my DW-6600.
DW6600 was the first GShock to show up in the market where I live!
My friends wore them, I sadly couldn't afford one back then so I wore a Sharp G-Super copy of it 😄
The DW6600 was my first G-Shock. My parents gave it to me for my birthday and I've been hooked on G-Shock's ever since 😁
I would have liked to see how it lights up.
Amazing video and amazing watch. Gshock are a thing of wonder!
1:26 That's exactly the problem with G's today and why they aren't what they used to be.

If you really want to spruce this up, you can probably get a replacement bezel and strap from Pac Parts. I have a GWB5600 with a composite bracelet, and I'm thinking of getting a resin strap for it.
Casio square G-SHOCKS, these models have been out since the 80s, and have been the most reliable dam watches ever. And still going strong !
Is it still working??
This is an aged square, you can sell it for high price. I also plan to wear my DW-5035D daily, I think it gonna end up like that in ten years, or even worse.
Haha probably, I would never sell mine as we have quite a few memories together 😁
I got a 5735 and I love it.
Same I've been using it nearly every day since I got it in January
Even having 5 G-Shock watches, after this video feel like buying another one :)
Nice video. Nice watch. By the way... How do you re lube the back gasket??? With some special oil or just vaseline???
Thank you!!! 🇨🇱
I use one of these: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112004940438
I just put the gasket in, close the lid and twist it back and forth a couple of times, it cleans it and lubes it
Can you please make a comparison video between this one and dw 5600??🙏🙏
Do I have a chance to win this one
Thank you for another excellent review!
You got watch guys crying about a scratch on their Rolex when back then Rolex were like G-shocks in a sense but not anymore. Casio for life.
I got 2 screwback; GL110 and MDV106. Still trying to find original strap for GL one, but i think I'll put GLX or GLS resin strap for it if i cannot find one till next month
greatest review of a gshock. every scratch tells a story
Thanks 😊
Amazing video as always!
I have question sir I wish u answer me what I want to know is the battery life for G shock watch especially any kind of tough solar so I want to know if the battery life stay for example 5 years can you change it or from the sun light or you not gonna changer it at all my means is if it’s a tough solar it’s going to stay forever charge with sun light
Legend says that the G shock toughness was designed by Chuck Norris 😊
Chuck Norris does not wear G...G wears Chuck Norris.
Whats the difference between this watch and the GW-M5610-1ER? They look 99% identical.
This watch is not just a watch...its a sweet memory
Yup, and that's why it is never leaving my collection
There will be thousands and thousands who will say it is impossible for a battery to last so long, but I believe you has I have a watch that the battery also lasted as long as yours.
Which one is prone to breaking lugs?
GW9400 Rangeman
Wow 11 years of battery life how it is possible :o
My favourite is GX56BB
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
have you scratched the mineral glass in anyway you cant tell on camera?
Yes, it has a scratch 😅
I'm liking my W800H. EPIC...
I believe 20 bar water resistant is over kill I have a watch that is 50 bar I have swam with it took shower with it used pressure pump on it and it is intact
What's the model that became infamous because the lugs would break?
How are you sir ? İm living from turkey..im use it dw-9052..nice watch so far..im subscribed your channel..have e nice day sir👍
Thanks I appreciate the subscription and you have a classic G-Shock 👍👍
Beater !!! Ty for the great content.
Thank you for watching 😁
As a g shock and casio collector my god there pricey over time just added up everything and it was 12k worth of watches thats from mrg master g range all the mans rang i have and even a retro stranger things one thats legit wicked lol
Haha yup, it is a disease that eats away your money slowly 😂
Picked one up while unworn condition pushed the light it died lol no battery change in like 10 years lol
Style or functions? Why do you wear G's.
I wear a DW-5600 as my beater. Wear it a work. Had it for years, 1 battery change.
ugly watch
Petru B. Ok
im planning to buy a s5600 the carbon one hopefully will last forever
Carbon isnt bad material for "forever", because sun...
Good info!
Any recommendation on a square
solar
atomic
screw down back
all black
Thanks WG
The only one is the GW5000 but it's not all Black, although pretty monochromatic in it's colora
Get the 5610 but it's not a screwback......
The DW5735 is a screw back with a gold case. It’s the same exact watch like the DW5000SL for the exception that it has a yellow lcd display.
Hello watch geek I want to know all model G shock including basic model interm of longer bt3 life can I expect to be 10 to 12 yrs Or whatever ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Buy solar powered casio pro trek
My pro trek prw3100 is still in my wrist after 9 years of tough continues use
Really amazing
@@scotty4338 I want that watch too ( g shock)
Great watch
Hi, I have a DW-5000 G-Shock which has a damaged strap and bezel.
Could you tell me if there is another G-Shock model that mounts them the same?
Thank you
Depending on what model you have.
If it is a modern DW-5000, then a regular DW-5600E bezel and strap will work, BUT if it is a vintage DW-5000C then you'll have to hunt down a NOS one which is very rare and expensive, or get a newly made replacement from Brazil
@@WatchGeek Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a 1983 G.Shock DW-5000 (the model with 240 mechanics).
Could you clarify what NOS means so that I can search to buy the bezel and strap?
Hello
@@enzo-vl5qt NOS = New Old Stock, meaning an item from that era that was never used!!
There is a person in Brazil that makes new ones, they are not Casio genuine, but they do fit well, you should Google it, I think you have to email them
Thanks
@@WatchGeek New 5000 in resin have same screws on side also like 5600?
Great review!
Thanks
That why I love g shock more than any other brands
*G-SHOCK
*Seiko
*Omega
*Hamilton
*Longines
No Go. All Micro Brands!
6:47 Wait, can you please elaborate on that? You mean you managed to fix a G that was leaking humidity inside
Yes, the gasket dried out, so I opened the watch, blew warm air using a hair dryer for about 5 minutes over its exposed back, lubed the gasket and closed it up
@@WatchGeek Thank you man!
I have g7700 for 11 years :)
G-STOCK!!!! Excellent mod mate!!! +1 million for that! LOL
now let me see the rest..... hahaha
Yes! Even a Patek! 😀
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-
Well for many of my watches that is true, but this one was really used and abused 😄
Mine is the gmwb5000 😍😍😍 . Same ish watch in a way
Nice Video... G-SHOCK's are truly loyal
Pozdrav.Nedavno sam otkrio ovaj kanal,naime,interesuje me kupovina novog sata ga 140,koji je istovremeno ako sam shvatio najnovija serija.Da li bi mi mogao reci nesto vise o ovom satu,i da li ces praviti recenziju.Naravno da li vrjedi kupiti.Hvala unapred.Srdacan pozdrav😀
Recenzija se već pravi, sat je ISTI sat kao GA100 za koji sam napravio upute, samo je drugačiji raspored brojčanika i ekrana.
Sat je ok, ali je osvjetljenje katastrofa, vide se kazaljke i to je to, dakle digitalni ekran je neupotrebljiv pod slabijim svjetlom, samo da znate
Even the resine case g shocks are unbreakable
