As a surfer those teeth on the keeper are a gift from God, I see how anyone who isn't constantly in the water can find them annoying. I have lost to many watches out in the water because the keeper didn't do its job and the clasp didn't hold.
I suspect that many will end up buying this watch purely for the legibility of the display. The multiple sports timers, tide graphs, sun and moon data, Bluetooth connectivity and phone notifications are all just icing on the cake. You can use them or ignore them, but you can’t ignore that fantastic display.
That new display is probably the best g-shock has ever released. Hopefully they can fit something like this in future 5600 releases. My most worn watch is my 5600 solar which I use at at work everyday, and I would absolutely love this display in it.
I wonder if you don't use the bluetooth feature the battery lasts longer than 2 years? (that I personally don't care about cause I can just pull my phone out my pocket) I presume that Bluetooth eats the battery life and that Casio assumes people will use that a lot, so they rated the battery for two years?
As a surfer I think the large display would make it easier to see everything at a glance. Hopefully it will replace using my phone to see the tides and weather so I won't get spammed with island beauties waiting to talk to me.
It's definitely the only G-Shock I want. The large time display numerals are #1. But, it's very hard to find, especially in black. With that comes little to no room to price haggle. C'mon Casio ramp up the production !
I got the same watch same color and I love mine I have really no complaints about this watch at all but then agin I got big Wrists as well love all things it does like moon 🌙 sun ☀️ tide Bluetooth with automatic time but it would be cool for it to say the temperature outside as well and weather forecast
Notification feature is a bonus for me at work cause I used to silent my phone but I don't need a wearable I would have to charge every now and then. Even my instinct 2s solar is now laying in the watch box.
I really like the negative MIP display. But, I'd rather wait till a less expensive version comes out that does not have the surfer functions. I'll never need to know what the tide is like in Perth Australia day after tomorrow. Put the awesome display, on a watch that does one thing well. Tells time.
@@primo799 Some watches have the capability to be tracked. It could reveal critical information to the enemy like where you have been or where you came from.
@@johanvandersandt8904there is an airplane mode on off option. Watch being trackable is either due to having GPS signal or Bluetooth signal. Mainly GPS signal on the watch itself. Without GPS it can be tracked only when it is paired with a phone with location on. For Bluetooth signal itself, the signal range is very short distance and Bluetooth can be turned off using airplane mode off.
I would leave it in plane mode permanently, that would probably improve the battery life. I don't care for bluetooth in my watch since I can just pull out my phine from my pocket to see any notifications. Which is why I never got an Apple watch.
Too bad new squares Gs are bigger, like this one or those 5000. Smaller squares like G/GLS/GLX-5600 and 5610 don´t get new ones and the G5600 are getting harder to find and because of that, more expensive.
You know, I've seen some women with more oversized styles, and I think it looks great. I think it really comes down to what you feel comfortable wearing!
Why would you buy this watch if you don't surf. It has no other purpose. Its designed for surfers to keep track of the tides moon and daylight. It also allows them to time their heats and keep track of training. It amazes me people woukd buy a watch like this if you don't surf.
Sunset sunrise and moonphase altogether in a watch is a useful feature for some apart from surfers. Why so narrow viewed the scope and use of a watch. I chose this over GBD 200 for these three features.
I love the watch. I like the video....too. But to be honest a bit more....it truly looks crazy big on your wrist.....I would never be seen with a watch that looks like it is meant for a much bigger wrist than mine....and makes me looks stupid. That watch looks dumb on your wrist, Sir.

The display is phenomenal. Don't care about the connectivity features but what a display. Killer

I am in the SAME boat Gav. This new display by itself is reason enough to pick this watch up!
If Casio makes a 5600 mip watch then it’s RIP for all the money they make from lcd 5600. Making money ruins things
even if you completely ignore those "workout"/step counting features, it's a pretty good deal.

Like if you keep it in 🛫 mode

Don't know why casio do not put this display in all their watches.
was gunna post.. this! lol. even on any other watch. its not anything but some extra memory in the case . lol.
GWM5610-1 is the best g shock ever! I have much more expensive watch, and I always choose the GWM5610-1 for my daily watch!

Gbd-200
Got to get one for me before Casio discontinue producing this because of this review.
I want a g-shock that I can connect to my phone. I’ve had 2 apple watches and I hated both.
Quite a good review...more detail on the tide graph...a bit less mmmming. :)
Haha thanks for watching and the feedback! Trying to keep improving my confidence in talking watches!
Excellent visibility and watch! I will also order the same)
I have this watch and the only drawback for me is that it is not SOLAR powered. But it is a great watch.
The double keeper is good for surfing. You need the extra lock so you don't lose it
Definitely makes sense!
Omg hahah so happy to see you chris! Always watched youre vape vids good to see you here!
Awesome review man. Thanks.
How's the battery going for you? I hope it will last more
Remind me of my gshork 3028 G - 056B model
Thanks bro. How comfortable is it ?
Does bezel scratch easily ?
Great review👍
I want to know how accurate the stepometer is
What is your wrist size?
Good review 👍 👍👍
Can you tell me about incoming call sound and vibration pattern?
what happened to zamplebox?
I have the same 5600 only thing wrong with it is the auto light is only on for 1 second and not adjustible to 3 seconds to 3 ,,..
I like it but what if your in the military need something that cant be tracked. I guess ill get a CasiOak or a Timex .
Wtf are you talking about lmao it’s a fucking watch
@@primo799 Some watches have the capability to be tracked. It could reveal critical information to the enemy like where you have been or where you came from.
Just don’t pair it to your phone.
@@Klunker1 The watch itself still tracks some information that might be used to gather intel so that is a no go.

Baterey?
How did you turn off the bluetooth? Is there an option to turn it off?
There is an airplane mode for that.
I would leave it in plane mode permanently, that would probably improve the battery life.

Dammm , wanted this watch however learning that it's not a solar ...I'm out . Only way to roll is solar
amazieg

Is it suitable for womens' wrists ?

@@IslandTimeWatchReview id say a little big for a gal...
Stick with baby G its made for women
@@PGee. no, Baby-G sucks. Not as good quality as G-Shock and less functions. G-Shock is ok for women useless some crazy chunky watches like GWG-1000
It depends on your wrist size. I am girl and wearing this watch. It's not too big unless you have a tiny wrist
Where can I buy a solar version? Thanks
I actually don't believe that they are making a solar version just yet. Hopefully in the future!

It's a no brainer and it's a buck 60 so it's not like some lifestyle choice lol

Fishing?
Sea kayaking too.👍
Fishing and other people who benefits from tides. Not necessarily for surfer

Kevin Costner wore this watch in Water World

why would you reviewing a watch you personally don’t like, Your tone man is just pure hating the watch lol,
