The 6900 series was my first G-Shock ever, in high school circa 1999. As much as I love the 5600 series, there’s massive charm to the massive side of the 6900 series.
The 6900 is my goto go anywhere watch, that I always grab and throw on when I’m just doing…stuff. She’s no oil painting, but it’s as tough as nails and oh so reliable.
Gotta agree with you here. My top three g shocks are the gw-5000, the gw-6900 and the ga-b2100. You get a little bit of everything with that combo. The screwdown case back made in japan fancy gw-5000, the casual comfortable beater in the 6900 and the lightweight bluetooth ana-digi piece that is the 2100. As much as I love all of them, I find myself wearing the 6900 more often than anything
I collect watches from $15 Casio Databank to $7,800 Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph, and I will tell you G-Shock is a favorite of mine to collect, but a real rabbit hole when it comes down to models and colors and functionality!
I find the 5610 to be utter perfection. It is just so darn comfortable to wear it’s a classic. I also have a Rangman and find it clunky. This looks like a great option as well! Like you I have many expensive watches by G-Shocks are still super cool!
I just got both of these around new year and can't get over how much I love them. Can't go wrong with either. I ended up upgrading to the GW-5000 as my daily watch. I definitely don't have a problem establishing an emotional connection to either of these. We'll be going on a lot of adventures together.
Brighter screens are a nice touch but I also prefer the classic green. That green light is what we were raised on. Maybe this will make the original 5610 more collectible. the new one also has the best display for world time
Well you sold me on the 5610u, ordered when I first saw this video and just received it today in the mail. Absolutely love it, my first G-Shock and it’s so cool! And I got it at a 50€ discount, lovely
Of all the model experimentation Casio has attempted, I believe the 5 button, round G-Shock was the first true improvement to the Square original. Loved the vid!
I had the 5610 at first and then tried on the 6900 which I prefer more as well. Both are great to their own but I personally think 5610 has that classic look and 6900 with its sporty look.
What an amazing video, my life has been fulfilled !!! Seriously, My favorite watch of all time is the G-Shock GW6900. I'm wearing it as i write this Magna Carta of RUclips reviews. I was born long before 1995, so my words are weighted and true. Yes, on screen dual time, also i like 3 letters instead of two when displaying what day i am currently experiencing. The auto light (when i flick my wrist... to be cool after dark) I have sported the watch since 2017 and have not always been kind to it. It has been a great watch and it really has some nice battle scars. Again a great video, looking forward to your next one, be safe.
My favorite G Shock of all time is the GW9400-1 Rangeman. It has all the functions with a great layout and logical interface. The 6900 (shown in this video) is my 2nd favorite and then the 5610U square. Thanks for the great video. Subbed.
Thanks to this video, I just ordered a GWM5610u variant. I wanted a cheap beater travel watch to pair with my recently received Grand Seiko Mistflake and some of the updated features of the G-Shock module really tickled my fancy
It's no surprise that I'm a big G-Shock square guy but I do have a 6900 in my collection and love it very much - even more so because it was a gift form a dear friend. Been thinking about adding another one to my collection. Nice to see your G-Shock collection grow!! 🤙
My first G-Shock was a GWM5610-1ER. Still wear & like it. My only other G-Shock is a GW-5000U-1JF - more supple strap, screw down caseback & stealth looks
Another cool feature of the GWM5610u, not sure if it was on the previous GWM5610, is that no matter which mode you are in, if you press and hold the mode button for 2 seconds, you hear a double beep and the screen returns to the standard time screen, darn useful.
Brilliant, as always. By the way, there is the Casio W-214H, the beautiful little gem. I call it best for me. Because of unique one-button activated countdown timer! Simple, genius and super handy, unlike all the other watches I've tried. Also resembles the 6900 a lot: shape, three eyes, the big center light button, but in a smaller package. No solar battery, radio sync or time zones, but they're not essential for me.
I´ve had my two GW-6900´s for some years now, a black one and a white one. Really like them in all conditions but in the office where theyre a bit bulky for the cuff. I mostly use my black one for the tougher jobs like building on the house or fixing the car.
I agree. I got the powder blue John Mayer, it sat in its box for awhile. I didn’t plan to wear it, just wanted to hold it and eventually sell it. But I found myself drawn to it. Haven’t been able to take it off this month. I love it so much
If the alarm function is very important to you, then a 5600 lithium model will work better, as the battery has a slightly stronger "kick" to it, will beep louder and for 20 seconds long, instead of 10 with solar model, which is quieter in comparison. I have solved the conundrum by getting a few of each kind 😅
Being a long time survival instructor it's not surprising that G Shock is the outdoor and travel watch for me. Having way to much of them already (all solar) including the GWM5610 and GW6900 still recently bought the GW5610U. After watching videos decided I do not like the color of the new backlight but do like the rest of the extra futures as you mentioned. So I bought it as my last G Shock as I always promise myself or should I say excuse myself. ;) I love the square but having thicker wrists the wristband is a bit on the short side for me. The wristband on the GW6900 might be the same size but having a bigger case still gives me more room on the wrist. So those two are my favorite for sure.
Great work, great video and great personality! I have both as well and love them both. The 5610U just showed up the other day, so that is the one I am crushing on ATM. But, the 6900 is great too, even tho I have tiny wrists, LOL.
I bought a 5610 on your (and others) recommendation. Luckily I unknowingly bought the new version. Great watch and I wholeheartedly agree that it’s objectively the best watch money can buy, for me.
On a random side note, I didn’t want to ruin my 5610 at work as I have a manual job (defies the point I know). So I bought an f-91w as they’re cheaply replaceable if damaged. Obviously it’s an icon, even with normies. But I’m surprised how much I like it from a purely watch nerd perspective, has everything you need and nothing you don’t, and an awful backlight.. quite amazing considering the design brief would’ve been: make it cheap
Another great video! I watched while I ate lunch because you did not check with me on release time (I would have watched while eating ice cream). I guess I will have to watch again, lol.
Nice video. This year I bought the DW-6900NASA237. I really like it. But, just as you, I discovered the GW-6900. And this video improves the chances I'll be getting it.
I've been enjoying the GW-B5600. It's my first G-Shock. I have another radio controlled watch and it's a cool feature but, where I live, I have to place it in a very specific spot in my apartment so it can receive the signal. The B5600 syncs with my phone via Bluetooth so I can sleep with it and it will still receive the signal. And it still has traditional Multi Band 6 as a backup.
I like to watch your video with your content delivery and the visuals. Congratulations to your new best/better G-Shock! Unsure why (maybe some past trauma) I hate, yes hate this G-Shock with all those ‘eyes’. 😂 I only have round G-Shock no square type. I can’t get passed myself for just paying a bit more to get all-juices-up-functions G-Shock. I expect them to be big and loud on my wrist. My favourite are Rangeman (GW-9400) for the price/functions/easy access buttons; Casio Gulfman (non-solar) because it’s small, quite slim and fully titanium body, screws (has been eyeing the solar version).
Love your channel. Just found it today, and I instantly subbed. A while back you did a video of your favorite watches you don’t own. What about of the ones you do own? What is your daily driver? Your one and done? Thanks!
Been down the same rabbit hole as you. Love my 5610, childhood nostalgia, but got a 6900 and love it, same nostalgic vibes. They get a lot of wrist time and far more than more expensive 'nicer' watches. Great video, thanks!
GWM5610u was my Xmas gift to myself. I love it compared to my Casioak. The time sync allows me to ignore those pesky tiny menus. But also pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of the World Time function and setting my default location. It’s terrific.
I remember those g-shocks were the best You could own when I was around 4 grade in school 😂 I remember it was really cool to have metal guard on it … oh hood ol’ times …. I am going to buy one now, thanks for reminding me this 😊
I was looking at the GWM5610 earlier in the week but wanted more time zone functionality, so I decided to pass. Then this drops and I’ll be buying a GWM5610u in the very near future. You deserve a commission from Casio.
i hope they changed the buttons a little i sended my 5610 back. You literally have to use finger nails to reach them or roatate your thumb. My rangeman has pretty stiff buttons but at least you can press them.
I have a Saturday grocery shopping routine (large US city) where all the best stores are in the sketchy parts of town. My go-to Saturday watches are the 5610 and the 6900👍
Cool watches, I have them both. I also recommend, in a weird, nerdy kinda way, the DW350. A bit bigger, like the GW6900, but very wearable and odd looking. Wasn't convinced initially but it's ugly-cute, like an English Bull Terrier (love them too btw). Thanks. 😍
Currently wearing my 5610 and recently managed to bag the 6900 PT1 but… the classic 6900 in your vid is something else… yeah, will be bagging one very soon!
Just caught your other g shock vid last night. I picked up a blacked out Rangeman super cheap!.. Anyway decided to flip it and make my first G shock the one I really want - a GBD-200. Beautiful screen and tracking of runs (plus other things like notifications I will turn off.)
This watch hasnt left my wrist since i got it a few years ago. The best is when the first layer of rubber wears off and the black layer starts showing . Once you go multi band 6 solar you dont want anything less.
I never liked the cluttered dial of a g-shock. I’m glad people like them though. The idea of appreciated a cheap product done well is a really nice sentiment. I only wish there were some time of Bauhaus G-shock 🤔
It is funny, that you made this video EXACTLY the day, that my own gw6900 arrived... Though my 2nd one! Here's one tip for you: Try your 6900 on your combi bracelet (from the last video I know, that you bought one for your square) - makes the GW6900 THE BEST! ;-) Greetings from a new subscriber and fan from Hamburg, Germany Philip :-)
The GW-6900 looks cool (with the wider strap not the default skinny strap), is lighter than the original and has a useful timezone feature on the main screen but it is really annoying not to have the time displayed in the stopwatch and countdown modes. So if I wasn't going to use any of the functions at all and I'd upgraded the strap I'd wear this over a DW-6900, but overall, no, which is why I sold mine after a few months. Can't argue with the module in the GW-M5610U though, but I'd rather have a GW-S5600U for the same price as both of those watches you have.
@@YoureTerrific firstly, love the videos! Favorite watch RUclips channel out there. I own both the GWM5610 and the GW6900 as well. But the GW-5000U is a fully made-in-Japan version. The main physical difference is the screw-down case back with a DLC coating. Rather than a plastic body, this one is metal, but still has a rubber bezel and band like the GWM5610. The rubber is a lot softer than the 5610u and it’s a lot more balanced and comfortable to wear in my opinion. Otherwise it’s the same module that the 5610u has! Worth checking out for sure!
I got the GW6900 recently, having already bought a newer DW6900 (the lume dial one). Having had the newer one, I never understood why you thought it would be hard to wear on a
I have a few gshocks but in my opinion the best is the cheapest battery square which can be had for around $40. Takes a beating and not much invested if broken. Easy to change the battery when necessary and no worries about satellites and Bluetooth connectivity. Looks the same as the expensive squares without the extra cost

It's not green, it's blue.

Great video. I have at least 10 different best G-Schocks. And love them all.

One of the best features of the 5610 is the auto backlight when you lift your wrist to check time. No need for button at all.

I didn't realize that!
Well done. Love the humor!

This watch hasnt left my wrist since i got it a few years ago. The best is when the first layer of rubber wears off and the black layer starts showing . Once you go multi band 6 solar you dont want anything less.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the friendship meme was on point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the review
Great video, keep up the good work! DW5610, then GW6900, then GW7900?
I never liked the cluttered dial of a g-shock. I’m glad people like them though. The idea of appreciated a cheap product done well is a really nice sentiment. I only wish there were some time of Bauhaus G-shock 🤔
Not al dials are the same. The GW-B5600MG has a cleaner dial than the redt.
Second the 5000U. Also into the DW290-1V these days.
Like that design.
Awesome video.
It is funny, that you made this video EXACTLY the day, that my own gw6900 arrived... Though my 2nd one!
Here's one tip for you: Try your 6900 on your combi bracelet (from the last video I know, that you bought one for your square) - makes the GW6900 THE BEST! ;-)

The GW-6900 looks cool (with the wider strap not the default skinny strap), is lighter than the original and has a useful timezone feature on the main screen but it is really annoying not to have the time displayed in the stopwatch and countdown modes. So if I wasn't going to use any of the functions at all and I'd upgraded the strap I'd wear this over a DW-6900, but overall, no, which is why I sold mine after a few months. Can't argue with the module in the GW-M5610U though, but I'd rather have a GW-S5600U for the same price as both of those watches you have.
Wait until he finds out about the GW-5000U-1JF
I’m listening
@@YoureTerrific firstly, love the videos! Favorite watch RUclips channel out there. I own both the GWM5610 and the GW6900 as well. But the GW-5000U is a fully made-in-Japan version. The main physical difference is the screw-down case back with a DLC coating. Rather than a plastic body, this one is metal, but still has a rubber bezel and band like the GWM5610. The rubber is a lot softer than the 5610u and it’s a lot more balanced and comfortable to wear in my opinion. Otherwise it’s the same module that the 5610u has! Worth checking out for sure!
I got the GW6900 recently, having already bought a newer DW6900 (the lume dial one). Having had the newer one, I never understood why you thought it would be hard to wear on a
I have a few gshocks but in my opinion the best is the cheapest battery square which can be had for around $40. Takes a beating and not much invested if broken. Easy to change the battery when necessary and no worries about satellites and Bluetooth connectivity. Looks the same as the expensive squares without the extra cost
