Just a grown up F-91W which does most 99% of what people need in a watch. Add solar, atomic time and 200mtr WR together with indestructibility and you end up with your G Shock !!! Great video Bruce.
Welcome to the G-Shock world, Bruce! I have the positive LCD version of this watch and think it's great. I can say as the owner of a dozen other G-Shocks of various shapes, sizes, and colors, that you are warned: this is a very slippery slope for a watch enthusiast. Before you know it, they multiply in the collection like tribbles. Unless one gets the newest technology STN LCDs, the negative readout (gray numbers on a black background), the digits can be difficult to see in various lighting conditions and anyone considering one should understand these limitations. The positive LCDs (black numbers on a gray background) have much greater legibility. My only knock on the 5610 is that the buttons can be a little tough to push and generally need to be done with the tip of one's fingernail. Also, the tone of the alarm is quite faint on all solar-powered G-Shocks so anyone intending to use this as an alarm to wake them up in the morning needs to be a light sleeper. My original G-Shock, a DW-9400, has been going strong for 19 years and I still wear it several times a week. I know many traditional watch aficionados tend to look down at these watches as throw-away fashion pieces owing to their popularity with teenagers, but the Casio G-Shock has a well-earned place in the pantheon of horological achievement.
I've got the standard version, love that it shows the day and month, which I couldn't live without, and that it keeps perfect time on account of daily long wave radio time synchronisation. The really cool thing though is that it's totally maintenance free, and just gets on with what it's supposed to be doing without any user input at all; I almost never have to press any of the buttons or make any sort of adjustment to the thing, and the power reserve indicator has never moved from the high position since I've been using it. A couple of months ago, if I remember correctly, I used the back-light function and so pressed that button......
For those that don't know, holding down the light button more than 3 seconds will turn on/off the autolight function. With it on(indicator over seconds) when you're in a dark/low light environment, raising your wrist up to look at the time, the electro luminescence light will automatically come on for 1.5 seconds. It's a small but very unique feature that I love :)
Great review of a great watch, I prefer positive displays as they are easier to read. I have been wearing a DW5000SL for the last 6 years along my mechanicals, and just ordered the GW-S5600, basically your watch with carbon fiber strap and all the SS parts replaced by titanium which makes it the lightest G shock ever made at only 47g
I’ve had this watch for about 6 months and love it. I’ve got the positive display coming in about 2 days. Bit stupid buying the same watch twice but I really wanted this increased legibility.
I am with you except for the negative display. I am definitely ready to pick up one with the positive display. It seems perfect for any active situation! Great review! The auto backlight is another great function. When turned on, the backlight comes on any time the wrist is turned if the environment is a low light situation. If battery operated, I would not want this function. Since the solar power is so efficient at keeping the watch charged, I love it.
I bought the classic DW5600E ten months ago inspired by a Mat Stevens video. Love it as a beater, and it's gained only 5 seconds in that ten months. 1/2 second off per month - not bad. Less than $50.
Good choice. I have a modern Rolex Milgauss, Oris, Tissot's, Seiko's and several high end G Shocks, namely the frogman and rangeman. But, I have this watch as well, the standard solar version and it's my favorite G Shock out of all my G Shocks. The rangeman I wear snowboarding and the frogman is more just because I think it was great looking, but the GW is so comfy and classic looking. Everyone should have one.
I will get my first g shock in the next 2 weeks from now (my engagement day). my fiancé got a nice engagement ring but what about me? an amazing g shock DW-5600-BB
I have the Apple Watch 6 and I miss having a G-shock. This thing is just a fancy fitness tracker. The rugged yet stylish simplicity of the G-Shock is the best. You can go subtle or loud with your colours too.
Glad you liked them, G-Shocks are perfect beater watches than can take any damage. One small note, actually you may have to replace the battery in the future. It is rechargeable, but it's not eternal by any means. Usually they last about 10 to 15 years in solar G-Shocks.
My beater is Citizen satelite wave GPS F900 Titanium watch. Looks good, light as feather and tough as hell. I can never get over the Casio G shock looks, well unless its the Casio Oceanus series
Its been 4 yrs now since this video. Have u stop getting impressed ..?🤣 I am still...for 35yrs n going. They never stop impressing me. Got 20+ of em in my vault. Used to be 50+...had to let go most of em during this pamdemic. I can say g-shock saved me n my family these 2yrs.😂😂😂
Wanted a countdown timer for some sailboat racing. (Gotta cross that start line at the right time.) Casio makes watches that will do that in the $15 dollar range. But, hey, the cheap square is only $40 and I know it will also take the beating sailing can dish out. So I bought it, as a simple tool, and instantly joined the cult of G-shock. Pure 80's Swagger. Now I'm lusting after the GW-m5610bc-1jf. That combi bracelet looks even more comfy.
I've been wearing my G Shock for over ten years. Had to replace the strap once. Other than that, no problems. I believe it will last longer than I will.
I use mine as the benchmark to set all my others watches to when adjusting the time. I've also put a blacked out NATO (with adapters) from Jays & Kays on it, now looks very stealthy.
TigerRider Same here. I've ordered this watch on Amazon from Japan and bought the JaysAndKays NATO 2 piece Strap. Unfortunately both hasn't been delievered so far. Can you share some pictures of yours on imgur, I'm wondering about the looks.
Totally agree with you Bruce this is the same model of watch I purchased recently from here in the UK. I paid £104 for mine in a watch sale saving around £20 to £30 off the original price. It does everything you need in a watch without having to worry about bumps or scrapes you might have wearing other watches you have in your collection which you need to keep in good condition. For the price and all the features on this watch it's a no brainer in purchasing one, I really enjoy wearing mine.
I have this watch with the positive display because I'm getting older and as cool as the stealth looks, I want the legibility. When I first got it I wasn't excited about the 80's looks. But the thing works so good, is so comfortable, the retro look starts growing on you like crazy. This is my everyday beater watch and I end up wearing over other nice looking watches to less casual events, just because its so light and I just love it that much! Good review, btw, and awesome scenery!
I just found this video. I have the positive display version on a combi bracelet. One of my favorites. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos, just excellent video production and macros. Hope you and your family have been well.
as someone who has had alot of g shocks i have to say they are amazing! the only thing you should not do with them is swim in a pool with chlorine with them. the watch gets ruined with chlorine. besides that, toughest watch ever.
Had a similar Tough Solar G-shock watch....had it for 9 yrs never stoped working.....but after all those years the rubber seals started to go, they wanted $140 to get the insides fixed do to moisture. Not worth it since I had only paid $118 for watch. So I will be getting this one now. Awesome watches, they never stop working, well, till the seals start to go bad.......well worth the money though.
Now there are smartphone apps that emulate the time signal stations. Clockwave for the iPhone/iPad is one. Now you need not be in range or worry if the stations will be taken off the air.
I literally JUST purchased this off ebay after watching your video! It's the Japanese version (whatever that means lol) but I have the 5600 in white and I needed to add a negative display to my watch collection.. I'm stoked to get this!
I have the 5610 negative display but with the combi bracelet and I'm waiting for the bullbars. I think is perfect I also have a 6900 solar positive. I though I cold live with only one but is not possible and the worst part is that a friend bought a rangeman... and I tried... and now is on the list jaja
Just ordered mine, I've wanted one for ages but have been waiting for the price to drop...Amazon was selling them for £130 but it's currently £83, bargain!
Great review. I have nice time pieces in my collection. I pretty much wear a gshock every day now. I never have to change watches at all. I can wear a gshock to work than go workout, go shooting or numerous other things.
The time signals are broadcast around the clock, the best time to receive them is at night. The watch needs to conserve power so it just listens at some select times. These time signals are great for setting clocks and watches and much lower power and cost than satellite signals.
Thanks for the review! Looking at getting one of these in the negative display, but does anyone know if the "U" models ((newer) which changed the backlighting and added features) ALSO have brighter non-illuminated displays? Thanks!
This Casio watch movement will attempt to calibrate the watch up to six times a day until it successfully synchronizes the time with time signal radio WWVB at night (when the signal is strongest). As long as the watch has sufficient power and can receive the radio signal it should always be accurate. Pretty amazing. It's too bad the watch straps eventually break. It would be nice if Casio offered a simple, strictly analog Multi Band 6 G-Shock similar in design to the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Day Date. Most of their analog watches are either too complicated or incorporate digital elements (except for some Japanese WaveCepter models).
Check out the Casio Oceanus S-100 (among other models). Japanese market only, but Seiya, Rakuten, etc., sell them to US. Analog, tough solar, multiband, and are very simple in design. Hardened titanium case and bracelet too.
Great watch bought one about a week ago and can’t stop wearing it, I’ve got other G-Shocks but this one to me looks amazing with its retro simplistic looks. Great video, thanks.
Yep- I was an Automatic snob for several years, but I am loving my standard G. Will add the Solar before I buy another Auto. I still love my Seikos, don’t get me wrong. But the G is a special watch. And I can set my mechanicals with it :-D
I've been researching the square G-shocks for a while and this has to be my favourite model, judgning by looks. I tried a friend's GW-M5610, the one with the regular positive screen, and it feels great. What this negative display version fixes are the mixed colors, it's just so sleek! Can't find it in Italy though :( How is the legibility?
I've got a Khaki King incoming, but ever since I gifted a square G to my brother, last Christmas, I've wanted one of my own. Maybe this is what pushes me over the edge.
Great review! I got it for about $105 on sale and it's a great watch but this negative display has pretty bad legibility. I also own "normal" (non-solar-atomic) Square G also with negative display and it's actually better in legibility. This one can be little bit hard to read. But it definitely looks cool😎
must admit, it is a very comfortable watch. Only criticism is it can be tricky to see while cycling to work waering sunglasses. Have to angle it differently to catch the sun properly otherwise it can be hard to see. It can't be too much of a problem, because I just bought the metal band version to go with this one :D
Just got this today finally. From Japan. Had a bit of problems getting it to auto sync to my time zone but finally got it... question is will it auto sync every night even though my house has a metal roof and in a dark bedroom considering it's midnight?! Haha.
5610's are the best and the worst watches ever. The best because they do everything so well, the worst because they expose how flawed all other watches are. I even had the JDM 5000 and it's much heavier than 5610 which makes it worse in my opinion (because you lose that barely there factor)
Nice video, glad I found it. I am kind of interested in getting one of the most up to date square models (w/ solar battery), and there seems to be so many versions. I am wondering if the new bluetooth models also use the multiband 6, or is it one or the other? I think I would also go with the negative display as well, can you help?
I like your comments on this watch, however before I buying it once, I have a question to ask? Is this watch is only used solar or dual system? By the way? Great video you made thanks.
Paul Costley I have to concur, the gw5000 is super solid with it's steel dlc construction, and the most comfortable with it's super soft resin. Bruce, they are a great price on Seiya Japan right now. a must have for square g lovers.
now go get yourself a $10 Casio F-91W and you will be set!! i just fell in love with cheap Casio's recently when i bought my F-91W at walmart after reading about Obama and Osama wearing them and the fact they are the official watch used to make bombs because they are simple and accurate and thats very necessary when your hooking up explosives to a time source, that should be their tag line! The Casio F-91W.... Trusted by bomb makers everywhere LMAO!!! i will say its very weird putting my Rolex up and replacing it with such a cheap watch but i can't lie to you, i love it! it is hands down the most comfortable watch ive ever worn and i actually sleep with it on! ive never done that before but i actually forgot i was wearing it! normally when i get home i want to take my watch off like i take my shoes off but not this little turd HaHaHa, i literally care nothing for this watch and yet that makes me care!! such a strange concept to me
Gshock square is the greatest
Yeah

Lee K 👏🏼
Lee K just ordered my first square. The positive display 5610 :)
Ive had mine now for about 2.5 years....worn daily. I do physical work and travel quite a bit, its a beast and lives on my left arm.
I've got the standard version, love that it shows the day and month, which I couldn't live without, and that it keeps perfect time on account of daily long wave radio time synchronisation. The really cool thing though is that it's totally maintenance free, and just gets on with what it's supposed to be doing without any user input at all; I almost never have to press any of the buttons or make any sort of adjustment to the thing, and the power reserve indicator has never moved from the high position since I've been using it.

Grab a Timex T49851 30$ at Amazon. THE BEST VALUE FOR $ FOR THE TOUGHEST WATCH with VIBRO ALARM!
I bought the classic DW5600E ten months ago inspired by a Mat Stevens video. Love it as a beater, and it's gained only 5 seconds in that ten months. 1/2 second off per month - not bad. Less than $50.

Excellent watch, can stand up to almost anything.
The watch is cool but the nature shots were even better! Great video!
I will get my first g shock in the next 2 weeks from now (my engagement day). my fiancé got a nice engagement ring but what about me? an amazing g shock DW-5600-BB
They are fantastic watches. Affordable, iconic, functional and in my opinion, very good looking

Yury Molodtsov 10 years is enough
I have had my tough solar for more than 10 years and it works the same as when it was new
My beater is Citizen satelite wave GPS F900 Titanium watch. Looks good, light as feather and tough as hell. I can never get over the Casio G shock looks, well unless its the Casio Oceanus series
No one beats the Japanese with watches! I love my G-Shock. Greatest value for the money. And that makes a man love the watch. Value and dependability.
Its been 4 yrs now since this video. Have u stop getting impressed ..?🤣 I am still...for 35yrs n going. They never stop impressing me. Got 20+ of em in my vault. Used to be 50+...had to let go most of em during this pamdemic. I can say g-shock saved me n my family these 2yrs.😂😂😂

User 'stormbringer 1962' hope this is useful 👍🏻
TigerRider Can't find anything, could you post a link pls.
Dirty Harry imgur.com/gallery/O8YBP
TigerRider Thank you very much sir, looks rad af.
My G-Shock G-7900 has moon & tide phase, world time and all the usual gubbins, it's indestructible and cost me a staggering £60 new. I love them.
Totally agree with you Bruce this is the same model of watch I purchased recently from here in the UK. I paid £104 for mine in a watch sale saving around £20 to £30 off the original price.

I have the exact model! Great looking legendary watch! 💪 🍻 🎊 🇷🇴
Awesome review! Picked up today for $89 new on Amazon 2/6/23. Wanted neg display to compliment my GW-5000.
I just found this video. I have the positive display version on a combi bracelet. One of my favorites. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos, just excellent video production and macros. Hope you and your family have been well.
as someone who has had alot of g shocks i have to say they are amazing! the only thing you should not do with them is swim in a pool with chlorine with them. the watch gets ruined with chlorine. besides that, toughest watch ever.
Swam in a pool in a span of 7 years with a GA110. Still on my wrist at night as my beater.
Just placed an order on Amazon
Really excited for my first gshock watch.
Thanks for the amazing reviews
Welcome to the club...started wearing one in 1987.
I have this. And the positive display version. And soon, the original beater beater... the 5600E! It's an addiction!
I just ordered an M-5610 from Amazon for $150. Thanks for the video, man.
Nice watch, I'm looking to get a stealth G-Shock. Great video, excellently edited and put together.
Had a similar Tough Solar G-shock watch....had it for 9 yrs never stoped working.....but after all those years the rubber seals started to go, they wanted $140 to get the insides fixed do to moisture. Not worth it since I had only paid $118 for watch. So I will be getting this one now. Awesome watches, they never stop working, well, till the seals start to go bad.......well worth the money though.
This watch with the far easier to read positive display is now $80 on Amazon. 👍
I love this watch I got it off Amazon for 99 dollar
Now there are smartphone apps that emulate the time signal stations. Clockwave for the iPhone/iPad is one. Now you need not be in range or worry if the stations will be taken off the air.

Bull bars for the 5610? That would be cool! Can you post a link?
eBay www.ebay.com/itm/271592795039
Very cool, thanks! Ordering now....
Just got one, it’s a killer price. The bracelet makes it feel so much more upscale.
Just ordered mine, I've wanted one for ages but have been waiting for the price to drop...Amazon was selling them for £130 but it's currently £83, bargain!
Great review. I have nice time pieces in my collection. I pretty much wear a gshock every day now. I never have to change watches at all. I can wear a gshock to work than go workout, go shooting or numerous other things.
I think, with the combi bracelet this watch will be the dopest watch in the world 😍😍😍
I bought the JDM version as well. Love this watch. I am thinking of getting the same one witht be Combi bracelet.. Just $30 more.
Legendary Casio! Never underestimate a Gshock
Have the same, fully agree (solar, radio). The one difference - mine has a white BG & dark numbers / text.
The time signals are broadcast around the clock, the best time to receive them is at night. The watch needs to conserve power so it just listens at some select times. These time signals are great for setting clocks and watches and much lower power and cost than satellite signals.
I started using G-Shock back in 1987 I hope you enjoy that one you have
I have the same exact model, love it. I also have the GW5510-1BJF.
Thanks for the review! Looking at getting one of these in the negative display, but does anyone know if the "U" models ((newer) which changed the backlighting and added features) ALSO have brighter non-illuminated displays? Thanks!
I have the JDM. Absolutely love this watch.
Hi Bruce I have this watch fantastic watches and thanks for the video really helpful and enjoyed it thanks again

Southern Utah is the best. Can't wait for my 5610 to arrive from Japan.
A Really Good Video And Excellent Watch All The Best To You.
Great watch bought one about a week ago and can’t stop wearing it, I’ve got other G-Shocks but this one to me looks amazing with its retro simplistic looks. Great video, thanks.
As for as a utility watch it doesn't get any better.
Yes indeed if your an outdoors type of guy can't be beat . Practicality functionality it's perfect as a do the job timepiece..
You inspired me to buy this watch and create a video. Thank you!
Yep- I was an Automatic snob for several years, but I am loving my standard G. Will add the Solar before I buy another Auto.
I still love my Seikos, don’t get me wrong. But the G is a special watch. And I can set my mechanicals with it
:-D
Yours didn't come with the linked combi bracelet? Mine did and it's awesome.
Just ordered G-Shock GW-M5610BB-1ER (glossy finish) cant wait for mailman lol
Arguably the best value non screw back square. I'd go as far as saying the best value square currently available!
5610 is a legend. (with positive display)
might be the best watch channel atm. production values are top rate Bruce bravo xD
Just got the same one! Have an aftermarket aged metal case coming for it too. excited.
Thanks for this review. It was very useful. Does it have a programmable timer function (useful for interval training)? Thanks.
I've been researching the square G-shocks for a while and this has to be my favourite model, judgning by looks. I tried a friend's GW-M5610, the one with the regular positive screen, and it feels great. What this negative display version fixes are the mixed colors, it's just so sleek! Can't find it in Italy though :(
How is the legibility?
I've got a Khaki King incoming, but ever since I gifted a square G to my brother, last Christmas, I've wanted one of my own. Maybe this is what pushes me over the edge.
I’ve joined the G shock cult 😂!!!
Great review! I got it for about $105 on sale and it's a great watch but this negative display has pretty bad legibility. I also own "normal" (non-solar-atomic) Square G also with negative display and it's actually better in legibility. This one can be little bit hard to read. But it definitely looks cool😎
BABY-G BGD-5650-1ER is a good alternative
must admit, it is a very comfortable watch. Only criticism is it can be tricky to see while cycling to work waering sunglasses. Have to angle it differently to catch the sun properly otherwise it can be hard to see. It can't be too much of a problem, because I just bought the metal band version to go with this one :D
Great review bud, I actually have said watch. Surprised you didn't mention the auto light function? Either way, great review, brilliant watch.
PURE CLASS BROTHER NOW THIS IS A VIDEO LOVE YOUR STYLE SUBBED
You made a good choice dude!!!!
Just got this today finally. From Japan. Had a bit of problems getting it to auto sync to my time zone but finally got it... question is will it auto sync every night even though my house has a metal roof and in a dark bedroom considering it's midnight?! Haha.
5610's are the best and the worst watches ever. The best because they do everything so well, the worst because they expose how flawed all other watches are. I even had the JDM 5000 and it's much heavier than 5610 which makes it worse in my opinion (because you lose that barely there factor)
Cool watch but the negative display just doesn't seem like a good choice to me.
The one with normal display is superior.
Nice video, glad I found it.
I am kind of interested in getting one of the most up to date square models (w/ solar battery), and there seems to be so many versions. I am wondering if the new bluetooth models also use the multiband 6, or is it one or the other? I think I would also go with the negative display as well, can you help?
Thanks for the videos I have g shock watches there super watch thanks again 👍
Even without multiband 6. These things only need to be adjusted maybe every 6 or so months beauty of quartz is highly accurate.
Having a hard time choosing between negative and positive display watches :(
There are solar chronograph atomic time gshocks that look good. Check those out.
Great review❤❤❤
I like your comments on this watch, however before I buying it once, I have a question to ask? Is this watch is only used solar or dual system? By the way? Great video you made thanks.
Solar charges a battery that can be wholly relied on in dark situations for extended amounts of time
Bruce Williams thank you sir.
I found a GW-M5610bb-1 for sale online can’t find any models like it some links say it might be a Japan import guy is asking $50 for it.
What is the product code for that red square with negative display? Btw superb review, makes me want to get one!
Check out the Casio GW-5000. BEST beater period.
Just picked one up based on reviews and comments. I'm only going to have 1 so might as well be this one!
i love my gw-5000 it is the toughest watch in the world.
Paul Costley I have to concur, the gw5000 is super solid with it's steel dlc construction, and the most comfortable with it's super soft resin. Bruce, they are a great price on Seiya Japan right now. a must have for square g lovers.
All true - Can't say enough about it.
Seiya has over $300 whereas Amazon has under $300.
G-shock convert ❤️
Neg display sic for tac ops. Hard to see for joe flipperhead.
I like your video and want to get this watch. Where do you get this watch, Amazon? Thank you!
Hi looks like a great watch what is the full casio reference # for this watch?
Cool G-Shock Watch! 😎
now go get yourself a $10 Casio F-91W and you will be set!! i just fell in love with cheap Casio's recently when i bought my F-91W at walmart after reading about Obama and Osama wearing them and the fact they are the official watch used to make bombs because they are simple and accurate and thats very necessary when your hooking up explosives to a time source, that should be their tag line! The Casio F-91W.... Trusted by bomb makers everywhere LMAO!!! i will say its very weird putting my Rolex up and replacing it with such a cheap watch but i can't lie to you, i love it! it is hands down the most comfortable watch ive ever worn and i actually sleep with it on! ive never done that before but i actually forgot i was wearing it! normally when i get home i want to take my watch off like i take my shoes off but not this little turd HaHaHa, i literally care nothing for this watch and yet that makes me care!! such a strange concept to me
Wow. Nice review bro. These are 80 bucks now on Amazon BTW. Stock up.
Just got the same watch last night at Sam's club for $89.00
Nice video Bruce. What's the full model number I should look for? Theres so many😂
I got one this week and waiting for delivery.. I was wondering what I can choose instead of the original bracelet .. any clue?
If you have this watch to this day i suggest you to try a stainless steel body and bracelet swap for it.
