  • As a Rolex man, I find it hard to wear anything other than my Submariner. But I also appreciate beauty, classic design, and toughness. So wearing this G-Shock is a dream next to my Sub, and I think any collection including watches from brands like Rolex, Omega, Patek Phillipe, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and even Richard Mille, can also include this G-5600E.

    Buying Rolex, 90% of time it's inside a safety display box.
    Buying gshock, 90% of time it's on the wrist

    I have many G-Shocks but my DW5600 will always be the one since it is the genesis of the brand which ALL other models refer to.

    Fortunately, I only like digital watches and the G-Shock 5000 series are my "collectables". The G-5600UE, is my daily beater and it's a great watch for the price. The solar charging was the selling point.

    I watched a video from a real special forces guy who said when he switched the battery on several Casio watches they always fogged up-losing water resistance. I use the atomic clock feature on my Casio’s to set my mechanical watches-solar is the way to go 😎!

      Might be because the repairman doesn't realize that you need to change the gasket/oring or at least put some silicone grease around the tracks and backplate

    • @ianmaw66

      It sounds like moisture was trapped inside the watch. Ideally you need to remove as moisture as possible when you change the battery.

    Just buy the full metal square and you have a watch that is built like a Rolex, weighs the same as a Rolex, and has Bluetooth, Multiband 6, Solar, and is truly set and forget and just wear it forever. A couple of additional benefits are that the buttons are slightly bigger and easier to use and the calendar can be set to display the date in European format.

    Im using g5600e for more than five years. Its perfect with my field of works. I drop, submerged with water, even used on dusty environment without any issue. I just send it on service center recently to changed glass due to welding sparks that make the glass ugly. Im satisfied with this watch theres also an option if you want to mod it to metal g theres available kit that you can use

    Common misunderstanding about quartz module is they don't last very long. They do.
    Now, try wearing your Rolex everyday as a beater and see how long it'll last.

    • @DrRolexPhD
      @DrRolexPhD  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, people generally don't think quartz lasts as long as it does, but still, it's not eternal. Mechanical watches are potentially eternal (with regular care and service).

      Quebrou, bateu, trincou.
      Vc precisa dar corda, atrasa pelo menos 2 segundo por dia contra 1 segundo por mês do 5600,
      Não tem cronometria por correção atômica,
      Não tem anti estática, não anti impacto, em fim
      G-Shock é o relógio do fim do mundo, Rolex é apenas marketing.

    I bought Casio G-Shock G5600 E solar powered. Too Bad. But it is really bad at water resistance. After purchasing Within 3 or 4 months of normal usage NO EXTREME SPORTS, NO SWIMMING, NO DIVING, it had fog and water vapour inside obstructing the time view. Too bad.
    It did not have any good quality water proofing mechanism. It's having water droplets again inside the glass even after repair from Casio service center.
    Really Disappointed with Casio G-Shock. Pathetic quality.
