Today we are having a closer look at the one G-Shock to rule them all. the GW-M5610.
Fun fact, the heaviest vehicle to drive over a watch weighs 24.97 metric tonnes. This was achieved by none other than Casio (Japan), in Kodama, Saitama, Japan, on 30 October 2017. Casio's G-Shock DW-5600E-1 was driven over by a truck and survived, it ticked correct time afterwards without any crack on the timepiece body or the wrist band. A Guinness world record, believe it or not. In this video we have a closer look at the GW-M5610. Beating inside, if I can say that, is the module 3159, which has now been updated with the 3495 module. The very latest version of this watch is the GW-M5610U so bare that in mind when you feel like getting one of these in the near future. The differences between this version and the latest update, visually at least are quite small. In a nutshell, the old version uses a green panel that lights up the entire display from the back. The new version has a white led that shines from the left, and as a result, a different wording referencing that light on the bezel. Personal preference here, I prefer the old green backlight myself, which is what I have here.
The module is also different from the new one, with a few tweaks here and there, including being able to display the date and month in the non-US format, which is great for many of us. If buying today, keep an eye out for the GW-M5610U, meaning the letter U at the end, and you’re good to go.
However, functionality and looks are mostly the same between both versions, if I can say that. Meaning they both display time, date, a chronograph, timer, alarms, and world time.

Totally agree. The one. The only! Had one forever. Then moved to pure mechanical. Then rediscovered this one, easy, affordable, indestructible, great form factor, mega nostalgia… ❤
I find myself wearing this all the time 😊😊😊
Did the same myself,after several years of autos I found myself wanting a no nonsense,do it all,tough as f#*k no fuss,no bs watch that I didn't have to baby.
The 5610 is literally god tier.
But a digital being tough isn't impressive, even an analog gshock is way more impressive
Think after taking on a trip this is my new travel watch
The watch I use in the night to see what time it is - because of the perfect illumination. The watch I use in the morning to set the time on my mechanical watch of the day - because of multi band 6. The watch I use... for everything. Good looking perfect watch. You never have to change the battery.
Very well said! And thank you for watching along 🙂
Je l'ai depuis des années et elle prend place à mon poignet quand les autres, les précieuses mécaniques, souffrent de mes activités.
Elle a été tellement convaincante auprès de mon fils, qu'il s'en ai acheté une recensement.
La phrase qui la caractérise le mieux: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger ;-)
Do you know where I can find the older 5610 with EL light and not the LED? ?Anybody have new old stock that isn't EBay?
Bonjour Monsieur de Griff, G-Shock watches are in a league of their own... but I don't have one yet... I'd always go for a solar powered model but even so, there isn't any other range of watches that manage to be really accessible and super cool at the same time... Greetings from England, Bob 🍻🥨
Cheers Bob! NO G-Shock? 😱 If you get just one, imho just get this one (maybe get the latest version, as mentioned in the video / depending on preference). These are really not expensive, readily available and just… well they will last forever 😄 This is the easiest watch to recommend imho. This and perhaps an SKX (which is a different budget).
@@degriff I know... I need to go shopping... 😉
Maybe it rules with everything, but certainly not with the sound volume.
Only thing I don't like about the 5610 is the inability to display the current time whilst the countdown function is operational. Really annoying.
What…🤷♂️
5610U is better
Je l'ai depuis des années et j'adore. C'est vraiment l'essence même de la G-Shock
Bon résumé :-) Merci!
My watch! 🥰

Great review mate! More importantly, that T-shirt!!
😆 Thank you very much! I can’t quite recall - Do you have this shirt already?
Love G shock
Very hard to go wrong with ANY G-shock :-) Thanks for watching!
The only thing about this one and other 5610 models is the line crossing the screen where is the battery indicator isn’t straight.
Awesome review....not sure about you Euro dates!!!😅 I also prefer the backlight vs the LED, not sure why watches went to that older school face light vs back Lume (I'll call it Indiglo which TIMEX did, maybe extends battery?).
It would be hard to call a "one G-Shock to rule them all" because you can own a bunch and they are really fun (Styles etc). I still wish I had mine from Highschool (90's) I had a pretty sick silver one and the classic DW (forget reference).
But again great review as always!
Thanks a lot Karl! Yes, I agree, I own around 10 G-shocks at this time, and I'm not even trying to collect them lol, I just pick one up every once in a while and they never break, so they add up.. quickly. A single G-shock is a lonely G-shock, right? :-) Much appreciate the feedback!!
