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.
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!
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 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 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.
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.
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
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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 😅
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.
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!! 🤙
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've noticed the only downside to the 6900 is sometimes wearing it with sleeves. I don't often wear sleeves so it's not much of an issue. Most of my cuffs actually fit it but yeah a typical "dress" shirt probably not.
I had the 6900 and replaced it with the 5610U. The one thing I miss is the front button for the light that the 6900 has, so much easier to turn it on at night to check the time if I happen to wake up. I'm struggling to do the same with the 5610U, the button for the light is on the side and much harder to press
5610u activates light on a flick of the wrist. Hold light button until LT is showing in display. Only activates with flick of wrist when you are in the dark. love mine.
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'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 have a couple of g shock squares. I love their look and functionality, but there is a downside for me. The side buttons are just too small, requiring them to be operated by a fingernail rather than a thumb or forefinger. This operation can be finicky and sometimes an annoying hit-or-miss affair.
I'm disappointed in the screen quality, buttons and alarm volume on the gwm5610u and gw6900. My favorite G is the gd350-8. Thought it was ugly and too big before trying it on. But it has incredibly rugged good looks in person. Not too big on my seven inch wrist. Very comfortable despite the size. Beautiful screen, super bright backlight, easy to use buttons, great countdown timer, useful vibration alarm. If you can handle the size and don't mind changing a battery once every few years, it's worth checking out in person But my favorite Casio is the AE-1200 Casio Royale
@@yogiyoda OK, hard to believe. I have the 5610u since a few days and like the crisp display. The only thing I must say, the watch could be 50 % bigger. My old eyes have problems to read. I will have a look at the 350
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.
I finally bought my first Gshock and it's the new Casioak (Gab2100). Basically It's an illegible watch cause I got the black "stealthy" one but I kinda like it, or the Internet tells me I should like it, or maybe I need some approval! Am I part of the G-ang now?! Got it? Or should I try harder next time?
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.
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.
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 have had a Casio F-105 for several years now and it has been through a lot. I treat my watches as tools for keeping time, and never baby them. I have realized however that my rough-and-tumble lifestyle has delivered an inordinate amount of abuse to the poor thing. Ive decided to order a 5610 for a slightly more rugged build and retire the 105 for honorary light use. I dont want to destroy the thing after all. Thanks for clarifying the the light difference on the U model. I prefer the old style light!
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 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
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 was born/raised in Pennsylvania, went to Catholic grade school. We were taught to write day month year. Why you ask? Because if someone asks you the date, you say it is the 21st. The 21st of what? the 21st of January (hopefully they know the year). But anywhosis... An Amish friend wants to know if this would stand up to dairying/sawmill work for his friend?
hey YoureTerrific, I consider getting the M5610U. Hmm, from your video, I see that it cannot display dual time, together with the date. Is that correct?
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
GWM5610u has option of doubled duration of the backlight! Got positive OG and negative newer module. While I prefer the look of backlight of the original I cant read time from 1,5s of backlight in pitch black.
I own the GW6900, at least it looks like that. But mine is about 30years old or so but the body have a crack straight over the middle of the front and I dont know why because it has been stored in a drawer for at least 25 years. Need a new body for it.
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.
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👍
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 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 🤔
I have small wrist. I love my gw5610. It’s a perfect fit. I recently purchased the gw6900 awesome watch I replaced the straps with dw5600 straps now the gw6900 hugs my wrist just like gw5610. The lug to lug under 49mm
I wear the GW6900 more than the 5610U myself as well. No idea why since it would seem that I would wear the 5610 more. I just think the 6900 looks better and is a little more functional. I especially like the buttons better.
Thanks for the mention and very kind words!! 😁👍

hey YoureTerrific, I consider getting the M5610U. Hmm, from your video, I see that it cannot display dual time, together with the date. Is that correct?
Great video, I could watch quality G-Shock content like this for a month, at least if that month was January.
Thanks for Nice video, do you have a link to were you bought the white strap? Cant find anywere on Ebay
Link to all four displayed in the clips you show in the video
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
GWM5610u has option of doubled duration of the backlight! Got positive OG and negative newer module. While I prefer the look of backlight of the original I cant read time from 1,5s of backlight in pitch black.
Great video, keep up the good work! DW5610, then GW6900, then GW7900?
I own the GW6900, at least it looks like that. But mine is about 30years old or so but the body have a crack straight over the middle of the front and I dont know why because it has been stored in a drawer for at least 25 years. Need a new body for it.
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.
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👍
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 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.
Best watch youtuber/content creator... For me.
Nicely done
Do they make a gw6900 in special editions like the dw6900?
I’ve got an Apple Watch 7, an Iron Man, a Seiko automatic, and a few more. Everyday I wear the 5610.
Excellent video! Have you done any further interviews or podcasts?
Not since this one: twitter.com/johnpicciuto/status/1602349257469706244?s=20
Your video’s keep getting better and better. Keep it up!!
I have small wrist. I love my gw5610. It’s a perfect fit. I recently purchased the gw6900 awesome watch I replaced the straps with dw5600 straps now the gw6900 hugs my wrist just like gw5610. The lug to lug under 49mm
I wear the GW6900 more than the 5610U myself as well. No idea why since it would seem that I would wear the 5610 more. I just think the 6900 looks better and is a little more functional. I especially like the buttons better.
"I did some internetting" is going to be my go to quote from now
Also, must be nice to have a wrist size to rock that GW6900
It has its pros and cons. Pro: I can wear the watch. Con: I cannot shimmy through a cooling duct during a takeover of Nakatomi Plaza.

Is the GW6900 Casio watch better than GW7900 Casio watch in your opinion?
Amazing video! What camera do you use? Yours shots are beautiful
Sony a7III and a 50mm macro lens
I've been trying to decide which of these two to pull the trigger on, and now I think I've come to a decision. Thanks for the comparison.
Which you choose?
@@Luebke2773 I went with the GW6900 and I'm very satisfied.
How long do these tough solar watch batteries last before needing replacing?
About 16 years is what people are saying.
6:31 but how come when I say my watch has a little pee on it it’s “unhygienic” and “sir this is a wendys” ??
Your video on the GWM5610 made me buy it, now I swear this video will make me buy the GW6900 too😅
bought the 5610, didn't feel like me, put it on a aliexpress steel kit, havent taken it off since
For old farts like me that triple porthole display is pure nostalgia... That was so cutting-edge, baby!
Curious if you've ever tried the 5610 on the factory bracelet...some people call it the combi bracelet. it is like a plastic oyster bracelet.
A combi is also very confortable. I have both V1 and V2. But also I like the regular straps.
