The Only Watch You Will Ever Need - The Casio GW-M5610-1ER

- This is my first G-Shock and its unlikely to be my last, it's pretty close to being the perfect beater watch for my work, its been on some pretty rugged adventures over the last 8 weeks and has handled everything that Ive thrown at it.
What I have learned from wearing this watch is that if you're going to do a follow up video then it's probably best to do your product shots when its fresh out the box, I've certainly not babied this watch and under a macro you can see every mark, scratch and smudge that its picked up. I also noticed that the resin seems to be a bit of a fluff magnet and it doesnt matter how much you attack it with a brush it will attract hairs and dust the second your back is turned.
I picked this watch up at a certain High Street store, albeit online as I had a voucher to spend there, so it made sense to make that purchase. If your considering this watch or any other then click the link below, it wont cost you any extra but I will get a small commission which will go towards more watches for review on this channel... Many Thanks.

Lost my old G Shock while scuba diving. So now the fish know what time it is.
For at least 3 seconds then they need to check again... sounds like a good excuse to buy anew one
literally why i'm sat here watching this video lol
That watch will tell the time when the sun reaches this planet as it expands. Maybe then will your Gshock will see it’s finally ticks. But who knows lol.
@Trent Maverick I tried using the app and my account got hacked. Thanks.
@@LastWatch Apparently that's an urban myth. Fish have long memories. Sorry for being so 'red pill'..
Trust me, i got this one and for 9 months all the other watches I have are collecting dust. This watch gives me something my wife can't.
The time ?
@@LastWatch lmfao
Wait...After *9 months* the watch gave you something your wife didnt? is the watch pregnant with your child? Hey! youre not supposed to do that to a watch. No matter how nice, sexy and lovely it is! And what will your wife do when she catches you both in the act? Shame on you for taking advantage of that sexy beautiful G shock! I highly dissapprove!
I have citizen, orient and seiko watches but that the only one i use.
Companionship, loyalty, honesty,
G-shocks are retro and futuristic at the same time and they never feel like they belong to the present era.
Price in pakistan
Great way to put it bro!
Timeless is the word
@@xinxingpakistan5282 زتتننتاتاةةتتو
You just summed up what I like about them but couldn't put into words.
I love scanning a room for luxury watch wearers...so I can ask them what time they think it is.
That is a thinking mans joke
@@LastWatch Glad you got it! 😀
That is so funny 😂
@@grahampinnock309 cool, you GET it!
Well played Don..... LOLOLOLOL
I had 2 of these and as a scuba instructor and extreme sports diver loved it. Easily goes to 120M depth of water and spot on as a timer. Still the best as it is not bulky.
First watch lasted 1994-2000 , second watch 2000- today..
20+ years for a digi, thats good going
This watch has ruined me for other watches, i can never get any other watch for everyday use. Completely maintnance free and extremely durable.
Its hard to argue against it
Cracking watch and it is stylish.ive been converted back to digital with this beauty
I got the gwm5610 about a month ago and I LOVE it. I love the retro look so much I keep looking at it and wonder if any other luxury brand could beat it. That's what I personally feel.
I do have other wachtes. Citizen promaster eco drive. I have both and both a genious.
Same here. I stopped reading, researching, saving for and buying watches after this. Just why.
This became the watch of choice of soldiers in the 80s and 90s. No bullshit, no frills, indestructible, Inexpensive, It was considered as cool as a Seiko diver/tool watch.
Gshock continue to be a favourite with the services and for good reason
Many Police and law enforcement officers wear Casio G shocks, tough, accurate, extremely reliable, and very cost effective....there are NO other watches on the market that can beat a G shock.....
One of the best watches I’ve ever owned. I bought one for me and one for a friend as a gift.
A few weeks later, my father saw it in my wrist, and really liked it. And in my culture, if someone you hold in high regards compliments you on something, you offer it to them (within reason, of course).
It’s my beloved father, so of course, I took it off my wrist and gave it to him. I never replaced it, but I’m currently wearing a GA-2100-1A1. Love it, but I have to buy this again.
I love this comment, culture and respect in every way
I have a G-shock from about 1990, and it is still running, it was a gift from a Japanese company when I did some work there.
Banzai... Lucky on all fronts
This watch is amazing. I had one 11 years ago and it still works. I bought one in 2021 and it's off again for at least a decade...
Solar, radio-controlled, waterproof to 200m, chrono, alarm, world time... the essentials!
What more do you need
I bought this purely as a timer for swimming in the sea but its charms won me over and I wear it all the time now. I have a 2006 Explorer 114270 that hasn’t been on my wrist for months! Also I’ve tried other G shocks but end up flipping them as nothing beats the compact size of this thing. It’s so tough - mine survives unscathed from heavy manual work, sea swimming, mountaineering.. the cool thing about it is everything just cleans off easily - paint, cement, oil, you name it. Just an absolute beast of a watch.
The only watch you will ever need..!
glad you agree
Arguably the best value G-Shock in production. What's awesome is that Casio elected to use a forged steel caseback on this model vs stamped steel that used on most! Love it!
Thanks for the info
Truly the only watch one will need ever. So light to wear, so durable. My fav watch of all time.
High praise
I bought this model 2 days ago. I live in North West of Romania and over night i left it by the window as mentioned in the user's guide, it got synced with the closest atomic watch that is in Germany. All the other functions work as expected. I was at first sceptic about this watch's specs but it proved me wrong. Greatest purcess ever 😎
Thanks for sharing
i thought someone nicked it from your window overnight
I've had mine for 4.5 years so far, still going strong. Does everything you need a watch to do, and the backlight is awesome.
I know a man who is rich. He loves to travel and I have observed him wearing a digital Casio. After he gets to his destination and when he goes out to dinner, he may put on his Patek automatic watch.
He knows which is an adornment and which is functional.
Obviously the Casio keeps better time than the Patek.
I like Casios which have a traditional face with hands for aesthetic reasons.
There are Billionaires wearing Casio's as a day to day watch.... you should check out the Casio Duro
it may be you
James Bonding if only
@@LastWatch I have a MR-G B1000B 1ADR a MTG B1000 a GMW 8500 (Gold) and a GR-B100 plus a Rolex 5513 (1984) which I rarely wear. MR-G is amazing.
BaronSilver Baron You my friend are a legend as is your collection
A G-shock is arguably the greatest watch ever made. I am wearing this particular model as I write this, when I bought this watch new I didn't wear it, a decade later I unpacked it I was concerned that the rechargeble battery wouldn't work after all this time, once the watch charged up on its battery indicator meeting H for high it stayed there ever since and that was almost 3 years ago, now that justs amazeing. (lost for words).
As am I, wonderful to hear
Great testimony to the 5610. Encouraging to know mine will be with me for a long time.
This is one of my first casios and it's a great a piece. One for every collection
This couldn't be more true. I've had this watch for years and it is simple and perfect.
I bought this about 12years ago and it still runs very well. Tough Solar battery is still powerful as first time I got. Super durability.
I thought it was supposed to have a 10 year battery, how did yours last 12
@@Gamer-vs3xl Solar power.
@@Gamer-vs3xl Every Casio watches are more robust than the official spec sheet. If they said 10 years battery, maybe it can run 15 years.
Few people know that the G-Shock is actually based on an ancient Japanese self defense weapon used to repel Ninjas. The watch function is just a bonus Kikuo Ibe implemented because he was often late for dinner after all the hand-to-hand combat.
You are definitely on my friends list
:D
I bought this watch a while ago. I love the retro styling. Always precisely accurate as it syncs every night with the atomic clock using the radio transmission from Anthorn in Cumbria. Radio syncing continued to work perfectly on a trip to Belgium. Mineral glass crystal is a nice touch, too. Display very easy to read, and backlight illumination effective with a subdued greenish glow. Plus, solar charging means no worries about changing the battery.
Great selling points
Pretty much sums up exactly why this watch is so so good.
The multi-band feature and solar charging are the main points for me - absolute accuracy for both date and time, and a battery that lasts and lasts, no matter how much you use the backlight.
I also have an older solar Waveceptor with just the UK and German frequencies but that covers almost all of Europe. The UK signal stretches out way west into the North sea / Atlantic, where few of us will spend much time but the German signal overlaps well into the UK and covers more of Europe ( Southern Spain across to parts of Turkey and Greece etc.).
GPS might be even better because the watch will automatically switch time zones, but watches like that cost much more and ultimately are only more accurate when there's no radio signal.
Having said that, at an accuracy of +/- 15 secs per month, watches like the 5610 are rarely more than a second or two out anyway before they manage to sync again.
Kim Newton funny you should mention GPS, keep an eye out for my next unboxing
i’ve owned a number of gshocks and other mechanical timepieces throughout the years but never the square… that was until a few weeks ago when i bought the updated module of this model… i never knew i missed so much… thanks Casio!
I had a couple of G-Shocks as a kid. Who hasn't I suppose! Really loved them. A very iconic piece.
Me, so I bought one as an adult! Muhaha
@@tipphilips8252 Lol, and since my post, I bought 2 more, including a Mudmaster!👍👍😁
My first watch I bought at 17 was a Casio calculator, 1980 and currently have 8 Casio including this one , other round G shocks are to big for me cheers , Shane uk 🇬🇧
If I had to choose one single gadget - this watch would be it!
I am wearing my one every day since many years and I enjoy deeply every single look at it.
My Fortis (for which I spent all my money I had as a student...) has retired since then.
Durable. Reliable. Pretty. Different.
Love it.
It's the watch that makes you wonder how mechanical pieces got back up off the floor. I have some very nice pieces but when I put this on I don't feel I'm missing anything, instead I believe it truly deserves it's place in my collection! A brilliant tough, accurate little workhorse
It's my permanent beater
I'm wearing only the simplest 5600 for 5 months in this pandemia in my beach house.
Best watch for this situation, amazing watch for all to do things.
Love it!
I will swap you mine for your beach house
@@LastWatch appreciate, but we need to maintain social isolation!
😉
The best watch I ever had... Got mine in 1987... and took it scuba diving!
that's pretty impressive
"The only watch you will ever need" is true even for the base models. I have a base 5600 without solar tough that is 6 years old and still ticking - not a single batterie replacement. These little demons will still be used as timepieces by giant cockroaches when the world ends.
I can imagine that
🤣
They have a ten year battery life at the least. It's a investment in time ,so is your 5600 without solar tough.
That's the dilemma. I also have a 5600 and can't justify the upgrade...
Yes don't use the light or alarm and trust me the battery will keep going for many more years...
This has been my most go to watch for the past year. Tough, comfortable on my 6-5/8” wrist, and very functional. This watch covers everything.
It's my daily work wear
I have owned this for over 2 years now, and use it everyday! Solid, good looking and really got all that i need :)
I have the original. The screw back DW5000. Amazing, decades old, backlit with a miniature incandescent bulb. It's been through many new cases and straps but only 4 batteries in all that time, I even used to scuba dive with it, and operate the buttons underwater! Crazy to think that a 1980s digital watch will become a still working heirloom.
An absolute classic
I've been wearing G-Shock watches for many years. These watches are terrific performers for the money spent. Most of the ones I have are solar powered. These watches look very good, and at the same time they are an excellent time keeper tool.
More accurate than any automatic
Perfectly crafted piece of history on your wrist, and amazingly, still outperforms most watches even today. There's no reason not to get this little legend
Thanks for another comprehensive & excellent review. A few weeks ago I bought the GW-M5610-1ER after deliberating over the many G-Shocks, I'm pleased I got the right one. I agree with all your comments & it really is a cracking watch. Everyone in the immediate family is wearing a Casio although we all have at least one expensive watch! My Wife is wearing a F-91W, my Son, who has a large high end watch collection, is wearing a DW-290 in preference to all his other watches. I also have, and am currently wearing, a W-800H-1AVES, another excellent Casio watch. Thanks again for the review.
I have another iconic casio to review
I have several Casios but this one is my absolute favorite.
Keep an eye out for another G-Shock video from me this evening
I remember as a child my 'local' watch shop always had shiny sparkly Casio watches when I walked by at Christmas, even the calculator ones. I've always wanted one since then. Now I have a "AWG-M100SB-2AER" and I love it!
Thats a hell of a reference
As a kid, my family went on a trip to Hong Kong, and the watch shop windows were filled with colourful G Shocks. This image stuck with me. Even though I own some high end watches, G Shocks squares are what I wear these days.
@@raksh9 I use to beg my mom to buy me the fake g shocks at walmart when i was young 🤣
@@bidensballsack266 Haha, nice! Do you wear G Shocks now?
@@raksh9 Yes sir I do ! The exact square g shock in the video to be exact. Have a blessed day 🙏🏽😁
I never thought I will ever get excited about a watch, but this video did that. Thank you amazing video.
Wow, thanks!
I was issued this watch in the military some years ago and it lasted every day of rigorous training and tours for six straight years until the battery gave out. I wouldnt doubt had I changed the battery it wouldve lasted my entire enlistment to retirement
Supreme H I bet that watch could tell a few stories
Yes, I also own some expensive watches but the G the go to watch. The best watch you can own.
It's a formidable watch
I bought this watch on Amazon, I've been wearing it daily for over 6 years, it's worked flawlessly. I won't wear any other, it's perfect. I do have the non- solar base model, bought at Walmart 7+ years ago, same battery on that one going strong. This is the best watch, there are better looking watches out there, but this is in a class of its own.
Its hard not to wear it
The 6900 is a legend of a watch and has appeared in many movies too!
A couple of years ago, I was looking at getting a Japan only GW-5000 1JF, with atomic time, tough solar, steel case and screwdown caseback. I ended up with a GW-B5600 bluetooth square on combi bracelet and the full metal IP blue GMWB-5000. They are superb watches, and I enjoy them even more as I continue to wear them.
Great choices, one day I’ll get the GW-5000 1JF…..to go with my DW-5200 from 1984 and my recently purchased GW-M5610 (bought, used from a Grenadier Guard)
This has been my work watch for years! It's had the lot thrown at it including concrete, paint and God knows what else and it's still going strong never missing a beat!
Tough little bugger
@@LastWatch upuuuoupiiuuuuuuioiouuuouuuu
I'm a painter spray guy I'm hoping this holds up to overspray an the screen will be able to be cleaned with a solvent if need be. Any answers?
Had mine for over 10 years now and it has not failed. It actually keeps the time more accurately than all the other radio controlled watches and clocks I have. I'll never get rid of it.
Question, when it hasn’t been powered by solar, does it readjust the correct time in its own when it gets power?
@@thiaguinhooitodois2211 yes
This watch is so awesome it evens shakes and shimmies when out in the sun!
It really does
One of the best reviews I have ever seen. Excellent!
Many thanks
"This is my first G-Shock.
I REALLY don't think it will be my last."
You are correct. I started with a GA-100, which I am wearing as I type.
You cannot just buy one G-shock.
Lets see how long I can hold out before I buy another
I can vouch for their toughness. My GWM-5600 hasn't let me down in the 13 years I've owned it. After 10 years on my wrist working on a building site, I retired it to my collection. Of course with a new bezel and strap. Never used a battery in all that time. Great video man. Thumbs up!!
Tough watch for a tough job
Same here. Mine is over 13 years old and counting. I don't wear it in winter, I wear a slimmer watch that goes under sleeve layers easily (I work outside). Comes back out in spring, battery indicator always on high. One replacement strap. A few scratches on the display which adds to it's appeal. Copes easily with dust, sweat, water, dropping from height, you name it. Unbeatable watch.
@@corac4 👍 Unbeatable 👍
Today i ordered this Watch😍.That's my second G Shock now.I started with a GD-X6900MC-1ER 5 Month ago.Since i saw the 5610 in your Video for the first time 5 Month ago too,I can't forget this sexy piece of retro.
Sorry for luring you down the rabbit hole
@@LastWatch No Problem:D Great watch but i would change some stupid things.But for now i'm happy.I was shocked how smal the 5610 is on my wrist compared to the GD-X I was waring round about 5month.Very unfamiliar
I love how thorough you are!
Thanks, I always miss something
Spot on review👍
Scuffs give character mate, perfect beater watch.
My most worn watch
Yes I am a US Army veteran. I wore one of these and I can attest to their durability and reliability.
I've wore one in the Australian Army for 12 years best choice for a durable combat watch...
What I love about this watch is it tells me what day of the week it is. The joys of working irregular hours!
Tell me about it
@@LastWatch 'You got plans for the weekend?'
'Umm... what's a weekend?'
Exactly, sometimes my weekend is mid week
Since I got this watch all my others are just pretty dustcollectors, simply love it 🥰
I’ve had this watch for 2 years and worn it everyday. I love this watch. Just purchased the new titanium square g shock. Steep price but I have no regrets. It’s definitely a premium square. Next purchase will be the newest frogman model!
Luxury price for a G, you must be smitten
Thank you soooo much for the awesome review. This is hands down one of the best reviews of this marvel of technology. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers Mate, much appreciated
I was gifted a Casio youth watch (module 2747) back when I was in high school and it's going strong for the last 14 years. Had to change the battery only once. Kudos to the engineering of Casio watches.
Thats impressive
Great review, I've had mine for about 10 years now, never failed me. My best watch so far 👍
Good to know the battery is still going strong
So far so good 👍
A genuine modern classic! I love mine!
I'm still 100% satisfied with my GW-M850 that I bought nearly 8 years ago. Love it's solar capabilities. It's my E.D. watch. Not one issue with it at all. I wish I had purchased two of them that day. Im going to purchase this 5310 in it's steel version. I'm not a watch snob. I'm a G-Shock snob. Once you own one you'll understand. Great video 👍
The steels are gorgeous
Excellent overview of the features. Was choosing between AW-168 and a square G-shock, now I know the answer
Bought mine using my first salary to celebrate my first month at work. This watch is very special to me, thanks for the review!
Good choice, congrats on the job
Just bought one recently. The solar and multiband is worth the extra money. No batteries to worry about and it usually syncs with the US tower every night on the first attempt. Try the 16mm adapter and a Nato strap. Much more comfortable. I own other G Shocks and love them but, this one has become my EDC. Good luck with yours!
Joe Momma Thanks, I’m not keen on NATO’s but hey you never know
Casio are always best specially the tough solar series never worry about battery replacement tough as mentioned go ahead 👍👍
You probably still need to replace the battery after 10 years or so.
@@hb9145 is the battery more expensive than normal.
@@ThiHaGadgets Yes, they will cost a little more.
@@hb9145 I have a GW002E bought in 2007, it’s still on the original battery. New ones only cost about 11 quid.
Great review. I’ve just bought one so this is reassuring.
I may also get a huge gx56 for summer when no sleeves are required.
This is the coolest watch ever! I bought mine when it came out! It never failed me and I han bunch of others braking bevore that!
Hoho! And i see it is Multi Band 5- I´m getting old!
I have this watch. I can't put the radio control function to good use, since I live among tall buildings far north in Finland. However the quartz accuracy is insane. Two weeks ago I set the time to an atomic watch manually, and it's still on time to the second! Awesome watch and nice review!
Lovely Finland, I visited Tamperer a few years ago. I can understand why the multiband 6 might struggle
I also live in Finland about 150km north of Tampere and my Casio 5610 takes an atomic time every night. Great watch!
I’ve owned the M5600 for 11 years and it’s been on my wrist almost every day. Works like the day it was new. Strap looks a little shiny now and the bezel has a couple of nicks in it. I’m tempted to buy a full metal version in chrome, but the price is a bit silly, so I’ll probably buy a M5610 if mine ever dies. Oh, and I have skinny wrists but this has never felt too big.
This is becoming one of my top videos, everyone loves G-Shock
I was looking for a beater watch and was thinking of some entry seikos, or even cheaper analog watches, but I somehow landed on g-shock. It was your video that helped me chose the model.
This is excellent watch and unlike most g-shock, it's not bulky. Love it.
High praise indeed, thanks
altair1983
Well it is usually a good ide to pay a $100 extra for the stuffyou wear every day. Solar and radio is nice extra!
@@Myrslokstok what do you mean? i wanted a "beater" with a budget of about 150$ max. I have 3 other (nice) watches but currently wear only this G-shock, the initial idea was opposite - have a watch to wear when nicer watches could be damaged.
Those days when we were teenage, we would wear our casio even while taking bath and never took them off from pur wrist. 😅😊😂❤
Nice video. I almost bought this model, but decided to splurge and get the GW-S5600 for about twice the money. It has the same module, but has more subdued graphics, a titanium caseback and a carbon fiber strap. I had to buy it from Japan, so it had extra shipping time. I am very happy with the watch.
Carl Lange Sounds sweet, i’ll be sure to check it out
how is that one after 2 years strap still good?
@@teecchnoboy Still in perfect condition. I wear this watch for bicycling workouts (4 times a week). I prefer straps for exercising, since I sometimes wear the watches over thin layers of clothing.
I have it from more than 7 years I think. It is in perfect condition, only I replaced the strap once. I wear it everywhere, including when I swim in salt water.
Perhaps one of the most detailed reviews on this watch . Cheers
Many Thanks
Got this small beast for over 3 years already. Works just like in the day i opened the box and it won't be my last g... :D
Great Beater
Nice review. This watch is the definition of bang for the buck. Got buy one.
Yeah I love this watch, wear mine all the time, it's my edc day to day old faithful can't be without watch :)
This watch is class, I have it a year now and its leaving every other watch in the drawer including a Suunto Core.
This one can easily steal the show
I remember G shocks in my middle and high school days were the most unpopular watches. In my school days no watch was popular. Now as an adult this is my absolute favorite. This is so perfect for me. This will never replace the new apple watches. I’ll die with this attached to my wrist. I just replaced my databank with the basic Gshock I got from their website.
They are addictive
For those who don’t already know, there is now an updated module (from the 3195 here to the 3495). It’s official designation is the gmw 5610u. Updates include: Much better GMT features when travelling; reversible day/month which European and other non U.S. regions will appreciate; current time always visible from each mode; LED backlight which uses less battery; stopwatch improvements. In other words, it now has exactly the same functions as the $500+ metal G-Shocks minus the Bluetooth connectivity (which requires faffing around with a ‘smart’ app on your phone/tablet anyway). Wisely, Casio left the look identical. Well, almost. The observant among you will notice it now just says “LIGHT” on the top right border of the screen instead of “EL. BACK LIGHT”
UPDATE: It also has a slight bezel change making the “A” button (top left) in particular easier to access.
Thank you for this, I have been replying to comments for some time explaining to viewers that this module has been upgraded since my review
The LED looks awful compared to the EL. You just can't beat that retro green glow
@@dsfgasdgqweq3456t534 Well, I don’t know about “awful”. It’s a matter of taste and practicality. The LED is undoubtedly brighter (less easy to see this on video compared to real life as it were). On the updated version it can be set to 3 seconds. But yes, the EL screen is more even from all viewing angles. Eventually though, it does deteriorate and even at full strength looks a little looking through a swimming pool at the digital numerals.
Side note: The LED isn’t exactly the same on all models - at least subjectively. For example, I also own a black, full metal square with the STN negative display. The LED on that is close to perfectly even and, because of the negative display, it makes the numerals a sky blue over a midnight blue background. Quite a classy look.
@@dsfgasdgqweq3456t534 LED consumes less energy and it lasts much longer without any issues than electro-luminescence. LED was used in the first generations of G-Shocks. Casio is replacing all EL with LED for a reason. There are many YT videos why LED is better than EL.
Its true its eeally the only one you will need and the best watch i ever had
Excellent review, I've been wearing the older gw-m5600 for the past 10years & its never missed a beat.
MrSidiboots just think about that 10 years, if you divide the cost of that watch by the number of years you’ve owned it, this makes the watch insanely affordable
@@LastWatch Thats exactly how i look at it, i did have to buy a new strap around 2 years ago at a cost of £7.50, genuine casio. The only problem with G Shocks is that it's hard to just have one. I also own a DW5600C, & a negative display Gw-m5610mr. Im new to your channel & your review for this watch is the best on youtube. Good luck with your channel.
MrSidiboots many thanks for your kind words, my channel is still relatively new and I’m still learning the trade.
Now a negative display is something I could go for
Insanely cheap running costs to change a strap around years is good going, providing the head of the watch is still good you could spend a little on a new strap & face case and then your good to go, I've often wondered how long the internal circuitry would last before you need a new watch. (does any one know).
Marco Castagnetti I guess that’s down to how well you look after it and a bit of luck
Great review, thanks! This will be the one I buy shortly. I would get the base model dw-5600 but the solar and the atomic feature really sold me.
Stellar review, well done!
Thanks
I have the honor to own this masterpiece. and now I can't. and I don't want to buy another watch. instantly felt in love. year and a half full of torture. indestructible.
I'm sorry for your pain
i have the gw-m5600 and its just perfect , the machine . Hunting, spearfishing , hiking never failed
Sounds like you've tested it to the max
@@LastWatch im a train driver só a watch is like my skin heheh
Great video! I really appreciate the amount of work you put into your analysis and how eloquently you explained it. I'm getting my first tomorrow 😬
As for your question... I believe the "square" label it recieved may be in reference to the feel of the design; it oozes "retro", which could not be better epitomized than by the the square shape; let alone the fact that it is retro, since the design is almost identical to the original. If you think about the digital aspect, the pixel is literally a square, and at the time this watch rolled out, everything you would see on a screen would be pixelated and squarish. Also, Most design elements at that time were boxy and full of jagged edges. Calling this watch a "hexagon" may give off a more organic or futuristic feel.
But more than that, retro-heads like myself may see the square as a signifier for a time one may consider the "golden age" in many ways... Music, fashion, and games... I feel like some of these will never be as good as they were at that time. So, this watch may be the epitomy of this. The square may represent the following message:
"It will never get better".
You put a lot of thought into that, comparing it to being born in an age of single pixels might explain its squarish shape
One of the best looking g-shocks, maybe thé best looking..
I still fancy the all black bluetooth
I've had one or 2 cheap Casio watches and the only thing seems to go wrong with them is the strap because the 10-year battery seems to last forever however I think you just talked me into buying this G shock. Thanks for a great review
Thanks for watching
Hands off best review ive ever seen thank you so much...
Wow, thanks!
Excellent review thank you. Cheers from the States.
I have this exact watch and love it. The auto light does kill the charge quickly thpugh. Dropped lucky only paid £74 for mine!
You can turn off the auto-light (and have it button-enabled only, like in the G-Shocks in the 90's). Have mine since 2017 and the charge never dropped below "H" since then.
Agree - complete classic
Just got mine today and I absolutely love it. Got it to use for fieldwork and on my motorcycle rides. My other watch was my grandfathers 1982 Rolex Datejust (now mine) and I was a bit worried about vibrations from my bike messing with the movement not to mention getting beat up when I do fieldwork.
This looks great and it’s nice and light and not too large, or too small. It’s just perfect!
Very good, comprehensive review!
Had this watch for nearly 10 years never take it off I'm a manual worker so it gets some abuse I've only had to replace the strap in all that time the only thing I would change is the day and month I think they should be the other way around the date first then the month
I have one. Brilliant watch
Great review I just got one today in the mail and this video was very helpful!
Pleased I was of some use, enjoy the Square
I've owned one of these for almost 3 years after finding this video. It's still on my wrist.
