If I was a billionaire, this would still be my main watch. Comfortable, reliable, beautiful (I think), and tough as nails. I upgraded from my 7-year old non-solar to this one yesterday. So happy
For us who want to know about the upgrades that came with this version, you've summed it up quite well on the upgraded features compared to the previous generation.
@@arcane6144 I think with the money you pay for G-5600, it's worth the buy over DW5600. Not to say that the DW5600 is not good, but it's a no brainer purchase if you appreciate the solar charging functionality, world time, auto light & power saving. I mentioned those things because those are the features that should get ticked in my personal checklist when buying a G-Shock.
This is a proper comprehensive video. The explanation and showcase is precise. You sir have done a splendid job here. And this watch is just awesome. Tough solar at this price point is amazing. GodTier watch
thank you so much for explaining this watch perfectly! Couldn't ask for any better video and too much less patient to go through long pages of documentation. Thanks again! Enjoying this watch!
Just got this one! I now have almost every “U” variant. Love them so much. Such fantastic daily watches. My only complaint is that for costing almost $100 and being a 3496 module it uses the same stamped back plate as the DW-5600E rather than the machined one of the GW-M5610U to which it is more similar.
Great review and I totally agree about the red line on the screen. I sold my GW-M5610 because I wasn’t a fan of the red line. I own a DW-5200 from 1984 and that was the ‘hero’, of the hockey puck video fame, that boosted the sales of the first G-Shock, DW-5000, which did not sell well, almost killing of the G-Shock before it started. The hero look has endured through the DW-5600C and E ever since. The dash of blue just works.
Thank you for the good review. I learned some new things about it. I have ordered my one today and looking forward to getting it. It is replacing my G-Shock Rangeman 9400 as that is not working now. A smaller G-Shock will.be nice too. I'm really glad I can change the date format on this model.
I have a Rangeman and been using it very roughly for the last two years. The battery level has never gone below H, but there are a few abrasions and visible scratches now.
I had my Rangeman for about 4-5 years, great watch. Problem with the triple sensor, watched a repair video, then ended up bricking it after taking it apart. So bought the G-5600ue-1, felt quite small, especially the strap, not as comfortable. Ended up looking around at different options and landed back on the same Rangeman 9400-1 black with red accents and positive display. Had it for about a year now, great tough watch. Gifted th G-5600ue to a friend who loves it. Sticking with my Rangeman for now, although tempted to get a smaller G-Shock like the one in the video or a Casioak.
Hello! I just ordered this model and am very excited for it to arrive! I already have the classic GWM5610-1(older version) and it's awesome in itself especially the legendary EL backlight. I'm happy about the new features of the updated model but LED backlight doesn't matter much to me. Why would I need to worry about a backlight supposedly being more efficient when the watch is tough solar? LED backlighting would more than likely be more efficient for a regular battery powered gshock, that I can understand. My uncle(now deceased) gave me a GW-M850 back in 2007 and I've used that EL backlight constantly and after 15 years still working like a champ but battery replacement may be needed soon🤷🏾♂️😂? Really looking forward to my G-5600UE!
Good point. However, some of us tend to work indoors. So the battery on solar may not always be charged to the maximum level. Also, LED is easier on the eyes (personally).
@@juliandl7983 Sure thing, that was my personal opinion. I don't wear mine outside a lot but some but I make sure that they're in a decent window area of sunlight or near a bright led lamp source. This will keep them sufficiently charged at a decent level. Any light is better than no light. Gshocks, they're all still great!
Hey! I have this watch and it's module is 3496 according to the backcase and even the module book we get with this watch. But I just did the display test and at the last of it, it shows the module number 3495. I'm confused whether it's with just my watch or every g 5600ue. Can you please check yours.?
The 5610u has the 3495 module this has the 3496 module...difference being multiband 6 on 5610u ...oh 5610u slightly smaller too...subjective i guess....The 5610u in my opinion is the very best square still to date for the money...Saying that this G-5600ue has that awesome DW5600 look still...
I bought GW-B5600-1B only for chain-like bracelet. But I can not stand its reverse black display 🥶 Now plan is to get this model ans swap bracelet. Hope color and surface match. Thank you for review!
Showing 3495-002 in display testing not showing 3496 for same model, not sure if it is display no. Or module no....can u pls help regarding this, is it original or fake??
Great video! Quick question, do you need to manually set the time for this watch or can you put location and it will automatically get the right time and date?
Hi and thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Quick question please: I've just purchased one like this however I'm finding that it came with the battery on 'M'. I left it in the sunlight for abt 15 minutes and it went to 'H' for like about 10minutes and thereafter returned to 'm'. What could be the problem, should I return back to Amazon?

Just an observation i also have the 3160 module G5600 about the "power saving" mode it should be a Default feature bec who would want their Watch to "Waste power" everyday right? ofcourse there shouldnt be an option whether you want to Save Power or Not bec thats the Point of saving power, obviously is to SAVE or minimize the power usage😆
@@abhishekjmadan Bro.. which one is better.. G5600E-1DR of G5600UE-1DR both are solar pannel right.. but I'm confused. Which one is better and updated.. please explain
@@juliandl7983 the distance between buttons on each side looks like in the 5610 series.. too big of a gap, compared to the 5600 and 5000 series. I understand they have the same dimensions, but I was referring to the distance between buttons on the sides.
@@juliandl7983 you can still go for the GW-B5600 series. they have the same gap as the g-5600E. I'm not very sure about the 5000 series, but from what I've see, they have a smaller gap then the 5610. Love these watches.
The atomic timekeeping is restricted to a handful of countries, all in the northern hemisphere only. My opinion is that, it is not really worth the money, but that's up to you.

My watch shows module number 3495 . Why so? Plz reply
Hi and thank you for a wonderful tutorial.
Quick question please:
I've just purchased one like this however I'm finding that it came with the battery on 'M'. I left it in the sunlight for abt 15 minutes and it went to 'H' for like about 10minutes and thereafter returned to 'm'.
What could be the problem, should I return back to Amazon?
You have to wait 11 hrs in H to get it charged fully in indirect sunlight (50k lux)
What is the difference in this model from G5600E-1DR and which model is good.. sir please explain.. its a request
@Jeff C 😹
Module 3496 no longer has the alert flash. When the alarm went off, the light blinked too. At least I didn't find how to activate...does anyone know?
Is the display/screen smaller as well? Comparing to the Dw-5600e.
Why does it look so cloudy? The other solar models look sharper.
How many hours to keep in sunlight for the watch to get charge high. Mine from the time i got its in middle level
Hi,
Thank you for making such an knowledgeable video summarising the watch
Wanted to know befor I get this,
Are the buttons easy to press when wearing it on? I see you have a little struggle to press those...
Thanks in advance
it's a struggle but it is somehow a feature as well.
The language DEU is German (Deutsch) not Dutch.

You’re off by less than a min per year….that’s incredibly accurate for a non-synced clock.

Bought it locally here in the Philippines :)
They should have kept the proportions of the G-5600E - the buttons are to far apart. That is why I would go for a 5000 model.

How long is the auto light? 3s? 1s? Can you set that?
Is this updated model smaller than the regular 5600 ?
Case back is modul 3496, but checking inside is 3495. Which is the real modul using for g5600eu-1dr. ?
It’s 3496. It is almost similar to 3495 except the 3495 has an radio signal receiver.
nice one bro
Thanks 🔥
Why is this one cheaper than the 5610?
It doesn't have multi band 6.
No atomic time keeping.
How about modifying your watch on your next vids.
Sorry I rarely do mods
Is the LCD screen easier to see than the older model? Some say the LCD on the DW-5600 is easier to view in sunlight or on angles than the G5600.
Dw5600’s display is a tad more crisp.
What is the difference between this and the 5610 solar? Can’t find a comparison video.
5610 is for another country region and it have multiband also
how do we set the backlight time to 3 sec?
update of 3160 modul?
