I have the exact same watch. I think it is well made in an over-engineered sort of way. Double bezel/case, double crystal, screwed lugs, screwed buckle and alpha gel insulated module. The case is hard, so it resists scratches and dents and the buttons are durable & mud proof. This is the ultimate G in my opinion. Multi band 6 and tough solar module are icing on the cake. Get it while it's still being produced!
I have just received mine after a 2 week wait from Hong Kong. It's an amazing watch. I don't notice im wearing it it is so light but solidly built. Atomic clock and solar fantastic
I just bought the Black/Red colour version yesterday, nice looking watch, I had keep my patek philippe in safe box, I'm gonna wear this everyday at least for 3 months :D
Rogerio Barbosa yes, that’s why I didn’t go for the black face. I had to get my gxw56 imported from Japan. But I got hit with a £30 customs charge when it arrived. But it was still worth it. You can get them up for sale used in GB on eBay if you keep a look out. They do come up. 👍👍
@@TheGreatest1974 Thank you! Yes, I've been looking for one already. There are several Japanese sellers. Paying the extra for customs is the problem, but like you said, it's totally worth it. This is version of the watch is so cool. The red is not so bad also but I dislike the red buttons and it has a negative display also. Regarding mine, like I said it's cool with a great feel but too dull. And a pain to tell time. You have no idea how many G-Shocks i already had, mostly all Master of G. Full of sensors, ABC, sunrise/sunset, depth meter and everything else. I´ve come to the conclusion that most G-Shock users never use anything like that. The military are the best example. And we only mostly use them to tell time. I think the King, specially this one has everything we need and will use. It´s cool, beautiful, manly, rugged, extremely tough with improved construction, water and mud resistance, self charching and adjusting and with functions that most people will actually use. I don´t know if you agree, but this is what i think.

I like mine a lot. I would like to get this in the multiband 6. How much did you pay for this if you don't mind me asking. Please get back to me when you can. Thank You.
Michael Kish lucky you! I only got the normal GX56. Managed to find one but had a tough time finding this particluar colour :P waiting for casio to release a whole bunch of GX/GXW in different colours.....
@informant007 The more material they put around the module, the less sound can get through. Digital watch alarms were never very potent anyway, & the gel insulation isn't helping.
Great but hey Casio, why don't you sell this in the UK? And why is the atomic version so expensive? And why have you not issued any more resin colours? Disappointed doesn't really explain how much this fiasco has lowered my opinion of you guys.
Minimum wrist size for this watch is 7.5 inches. I can't figure why Casio made it this big, but it's certainly proved very popular with the pissing contest guys. I do like the secure screw mountings for the strap buckle and the strap to the watch. No puny springbars here! These negative dials are just a silly fad ATM IMO. Too hard to read, so where's the sense in that?

Thinking of picking one up to use as a wall clock. My Mudmaster is just a bit too small for that...

I purchased this watch recently and it's fantastic! The size is great and comfortable, pushers are very easy and it just looks cool.
I have the same Casio G-Shock, but mine doesn't have the multiband 6. This watch is very cool and fits well on the wrist. Great Casio G-Shock.
It looks like I got all the g-shocks out love it G-shock
Great review! I really like your choice of watches you review as well.
Christian - Incredible watch and an excellent review of it. Mind telling us where you bought it? I think I'd buy one tomorrow if I could find one.
Awesome I love my King G Shock DGK!
Totally love this g shock, I’ve got one in the post! Can’t wait to get it on!
I think it´s the best looking King.
Rogerio Barbosa me too it looks brilliant and wears very comfortable. 👍👍
@@TheGreatest1974 It is ! Very comfortable. I just got the GX56 BB . It´s cool, but too dark.

Can you also compare it with the Mudmaster? I think the mudmaster is bigger
Looks like a tank!!! Very nice tool watch.
question if you don’t mind in ur opinion which watch G shock should I buy the king G shock GXW 56BB or GW 9110
How would you compare this to the rangeman?
Is the display negative or greenish?
@watchreport.com Hi, Really enjoyed the review. Can you please tell me if this Casio has a matte finish exterior?
Thank you!
This is for tough guys with coooooooool attitude! This is not just a watch, but also a statement!!
In the count down timer... can you set the seconds?

I have gx 5600 kg.. do u want to buy from me?
Where did you order it from? Nice review.
nicee this is my fav colour of all of the gx-56 series
does it have a warranty?
I like mine a lot. I would like to get this in the multiband 6. How much did you pay for this if you don't mind me asking. Please get back to me when you can. Thank You.
will cost 2x the price bro hehe
Yamin Yussof Well I got really lucky. I found it for $255. I'm going to buy it. Thanks
Michael Kish lucky you! I only got the normal GX56. Managed to find one but had a tough time finding this particluar colour :P
waiting for casio to release a whole bunch of GX/GXW in different colours.....
Yamin Yussof my wife bought it for me this early month...and its around RM500+ here in bintulu sarawak
Khairul Ariffin congratulations!! Hope you enjoy yours! 😆
I would get the gold/black version just because it's more rare and looks tougher but it is more expensive therefore I will be getting this one.
I can't decide between this one and the gold\black version. This one seem able to be read easier then the gold\black version.
Frogman : 52,8 mm x 58,3 mm x 18,0 mm
KING : 53,6 mm x 55,5 mm x 17,5 mm
sir,can you post the website where you bought this japan version. tnx a lot.
Can you make a video of the watch connecting to an atomic transmitter?
Sorry, this video is 6 years old and the reviewer who had this watch is no longer with Watchreport
just got the stealth all black version...
Got this watch and it's the best
does this watch automatically set its own time like how the protreks change their time
George Morales if it's multi band 6 then yes.
I have got the same watch.What does it mean PS ACVD and DST?
Koraltay Nitas PS is power save mode, IT is RCVD, not A, and it is Received, for when it receives time and data, and DST is daylight saving time.
@morganrd5 i completely agree with you, but if he wanted the watch for other reasons he should have got another color
can you please tell me how did you ordered this gxw gshock from japan??? i really want one too
Where did you get GXW-56?! plz message me i been looking for this watch.
is this still considered the biggest G shock?
NOPE, GPW1000
Yes, it is The King of G Shocks !
How did you get it?
hey is there a site i can order it from ??
Great watch!
Where can I buy this please ?
@informant007

I'm sure Casio couldn't care less...lol.
East to West CASIO is the best..
Too bad they don't sell the Atomic model here. I've got several of this model and an Atomic would be icing on the cake. :) Maybe eBay has one. ;)
What the different detween multi 6 band and not? Mine without multi 6 band
sek maka multi band changes the time from signals coming from atomic time
Great looking watch, but $300,00, c'mon.
Dude great review but someone should tell Casio that the watch has the same features almost of the 5600.
Cool
I just got this watch. its a hockey puck on steroids.
@ilikesonyps2 This watch is for grown man! not for little kid!
Total bad ass
bigger -same size display = no sense.
salvor1 display I slightly bigger but only slight. Wrapped in layers of protection it's a tough watch. I'm mega happy with mine
if you not own it. dont say anything stupid.
2021 here =)
The best watch which was ever made by Casio is
G-Shock GW-5000-1JF
And that's it.
Emanuel Gaff
Why? What is your Analyse?
terminator spotted
coooooooolllllllllllllll...............
holy fucking shit thats all i have to say

@IceVikingDeathGrip Maybe you have a fake watch? ;)
PM me
i think you might have a fake :L
Ridiculous. There's absolutely no need for this thing to be so big.
That's what she said.
why would you get this nasty color?
i think you might have a fake :L
