One of the best watches ever made. I've put mine through some of the toughest daily tasks and environments for years and although it's very banged up and scratched up it still functions perfectly. Very reliable. I've been tempted by the GW5000u which seems to be the ultimate square but even though the metal case is a plus point the addes weight seems like it might be a downside compared to this one. I think the DW5600 and the GW5000 both look better than this one but this one has the best price to performance ratio and specs for the money.
One of the cool things about a Casio digital atomic/solar watch is that for collectors, it is not only a practical watch, but it can just sit in the watch box for months at a time and isn't dead when you go to put it on. I just strapped on my MTG-9000A today for the first time in many months. It woke up, with the correct time after DST ended and it had synced just last night. Wow.
Agreed! It is my favorite daily, occasionally I switch it up but I start to miss it lol. I did switch the strap out just to suit me a bit better, but I love the 5610u! Eager to see how long it lasts me.
I have a bunch of watches - Longines, Tudor, and others but I keep putting the 5610 on mostly at home. It is always accurate and no issues - an absolute gem of a watch!
I am currenty thinking of buying GW-M5610 and I think your film helped me to made this decision 🥰 But for now my favorite Casio watch which I wear everyday is W800H 😁
I got mine a few years back, it is perhaps too good a watch. In that the price is good, features are great, completely reliable and easy to wear outside of formal settings. Its turned into a default every day watch and I rarely wear the rest of my collection. I still collect watches, but the GW-M5610U is one of the best examples of designed for a purpose and just works I've ever seen.
If this watch only had an orange backlight option it would've been perfect for me, but I'd buy it regardless. Had a LW-200 as a child, it got stolen but the orange backlight was so comfortable to look at.
I've had the dw5600, gwb5600 (4), gmwb5000, and gws5600u among the square G Shocks. I moved off of all of these after I got the dw5040pg1. Hands down my favorite square.
I have changed the plastic shroud to a titanium one with no text. Looks great. Three niggles: 1. LCD contrast is poor, looks like something from 40 years ago. 2. The bottons are difficult to press even with small fingers, 3. The EL of the old version looks much better than a single (thus uneven) LED of this current version
Great review. I bought the same model. l loved mine so much. I ordered mine from Japan, throughout a proxy, because it was a Japan domestic model. It was a blued screen model. My only concern is about the multi band 6. I'm in Montreal area so I have to rely on the atomic clock in Colorado. I press 'Get' but I don't always have the 'received' appearing of the top left of the screen. I put it near the window and orient it south west where is roughly Colorado. I don't know if someone has a tip to give me about what to do more. I also wonder why they don't do the exact model but adding the Bluetooth function. Keep up the good word. Thank you and have a great week-end.
If I ever need to explain what a Canadian accent sounds like, I'm going straight to this video for the best example❤👍. Oh yes, forgot, I agree with you on the 6510.
My favorite Casio is the GBD-200 with the much better MIP negative Display..( for me the most important thing on a watch ..).better buttons...better alarm sound and better flexible strap than my GW-M5610U...but the last one is more Classic looks ...Solar and Atomic time...and better counters..Excellent also ! ..😊 The GBD-200 contra is..no real Count Down Timer...strange Smartwatch functions which nobody uses ..🥴
My favourite is the GW-5000U. It's almost perfect (I wish the buttons were just like in the metal ones) But I'm still tempted by this 5610. I know it's the same module and to 99% of the people it's the same watch. But, should I get a 5610? Am I crazy?
*Why is it that not a single RUclipsr mentions the useless alarm on the Casio M5610U (all caps: USELESS)?* Why does the illumination turn off when any button is pressed? Why is there only one snoozeable alarm? Why aren’t there settings for WEEKDAY and WEEKEND alarms? Why can the hour chime be automatically silenced from 11:00 PM until the morning alarm? And why hasn’t an effective vibrate feature been added to this watch? *If they included these features, you’d have THE ONLY WATCH YOU NEED!*
My favorite watch ever, the only problem with it, is it is to perfect. I may never buy another watch and this one may never break.
Wait till you try a GW-5000U.
Almost perfect, but the bip sound is a little lower in comparison with the W800H.
So true awesome watch

Best watch ever, wish got this before my get-m500a Love the retro look and new updates
This absolutely is the best g shockyou can buy. Hands down.
This is the the perfect watch for a 1 watch collection.
This really does make me question any other tool watch purchase. Amazing watch.
Truly!

What sort of strap did you switch to?
I’m wearing mine now. It’s just so practical. Although I wouldn’t mind if it were a little bigger. The day and date are a tad small for old eyes.
I have a bunch of watches - Longines, Tudor, and others but I keep putting the 5610 on mostly at home. It is always accurate and no issues - an absolute gem of a watch!
i have one and i love it
especially the automatic backlight function
Great feature

That’s a great watch!
W 800 would be a gem with mineral glass and metal clasp..😢.
5610 is awesome - always accurate

Ive seen 5610u with the orange screen, they out there, not my jam but looks nice
Wanted to add that your videos have shown me the standard I have to match for my channel. I would love to know more of your process!
Wow thank you! Been working in video production for 17 years or so, it helps!
I've had the dw5600, gwb5600 (4), gmwb5000, and gws5600u among the square G Shocks. I moved off of all of these after I got the dw5040pg1. Hands down my favorite square.
Fantastic watch. Had to send it back though, couldn’t hear any alarms. Beeps beyond quiet. Can hear alarm on regular DW5600 just fine.

Wow titanium nice!
I am looking to get UE 5600 Tough Solar desperately but this also looks better… Will check it definitely
That’s more expensive for the same exact module of the 5610.
i have the G-Shock G-5600UE which has all the same features minus MB 6 at almost half the price.
my only complaint is the viewing angle with this module (3495) its crappy imo compared to its old version
True - the DW5600 and Casio a700 have better viewing numbers

Yah the weird thing is if I wear mine at night it does a way better job of receiving the signal, I guess I’m an antenna haha!
Have both the positive and negative ones. One for utility and the other for style.
I like that approach!

Haha eh?!
Love this watch.

Enjoy
I used to watch you for weed/vape tutorials and now that I’ve moved onto watches here you are 😂
My favorit would be this watch WITH an MIP-Display... but Casio dont listen...
Nice review! Have you tried the gw5000u though, is that better or the 5610 still better?
I prefer this one myself but they’re not too far away
5610 is better - cheaper and exact same module inside. The 5000 is a bit bigger and has a different back
If it had a MIP display it would be the best.
I'm leaning towards the GBD 200... if that was Solar, it would be the best G.
MIP is awesome
I want this watch but I’m love my GW6900 so much I can’t bring myself to buy one.
My favourite is the GW-5000U. It's almost perfect (I wish the buttons were just like in the metal ones)
But I'm still tempted by this 5610. I know it's the same module and to 99% of the people it's the same watch. But, should I get a 5610? Am I crazy?
Ha ha if you are crazy, then I think we are all crazy 🤪
*Why is it that not a single RUclipsr mentions the useless alarm on the Casio M5610U (all caps: USELESS)?*

Why can the hour chime be automatically silenced from 11:00 PM until the morning alarm?
And why hasn’t an effective vibrate feature been added to this watch?
*If they included these features, you’d have THE ONLY WATCH YOU NEED!*
That is a lot to expect from a small, digital wristwatch, but a smart watch will do all of that for you
Love it.. Could you throw it to me😅
its a fantastic watch, but its too small for my wrist
Yes the perfect watch, try it with a Combi bracelet it really does take this watch to another level.
Interesting I’ll check it out!
Great watch, I put a NATO on mine. looks even better but I still seem to always go for the Rangeman
Eeww
