I haven’t given a shit about watches for 40 years and suddenly I want 20 square G-Shocks.
Killer job on showing the squares.
Thanks 😊
I appreciate the square lineup video, it’s my favorite G-Shock.
I also like the fact you make videos of affordable watches, not many out there do.
Keep up the great work buddy!
Thanks 😊
Thank you for this square compilation and all the facts. I love your channel, please keep on doing this!
Thanks 😊 and I will
Thank you so much for making such a informational video, I've recently been interested in Square G-Shocks but have no idea which one to get. THIS IS SO GOOD AND EASY TO GET UP TO DATE
Thank you
Great video for anyone interested in squares and wanting to find out more! Bravo
Thanks 😊
Loving these guides! Great job👍👍
Thanks 😊
Thank you for another excellent review! Subscribed!
Great info, I like Arnold's DW-5500C, but I like the colors on the GLX-5500. 👍
Brillant job again, WG, I saw some models here I have never encountered before. Thanks for making this!
Zs
I'm glad you liked it
there is also the grx 5600 with solar power (no atomic function) with tide and moon functions... i bodysurf most days and always have a tide gshock on my wrist..
currently the round gwx 5700s have taken my fancy.. but i have owned all the other squares at one stage or another..i enjoyed the video very much
Great work, comprehensive.
So many awesome squares.
Love your introduction with the music I love that music sounds so cool
Thanks
Great video neighbor 👍👍 really detailed info and interesting facts about squares. Keep on with good work 👍
Thanks 😊
Hey! Love the videos, these buying guides have been fantastic. Could you do one on the GA series possibly? Keep up the great work regardless :)
Thanks, I'll think about it
thank you for The Video...!
💜💜💜
i'll wait for The Part 3
😉😉😉
i still love G-SHOCK...
especially The Tough Solar
The best GWX-5600 version is in my opinion the GWX-5600WA witch has positive LCD and white mat finish band with no G-LIDE marks. I have one of these and i love it.
I confirm that 😎
I need to add that GWX-5600WA and his brown negative brother GWX-5600WB was a remake to the not the best looking in my opinion GWX-5600 main series. Botch are insanely perfect. I pay almost twice the price to bring one form USA to Poland. 🤗
Well Done, Thks
Tonight when I got home I took off my $9k omega and put on my G7800 black :)
Good Morning!! Apparently haven't been getting the notifications!!! Happen to stumble across this!!!
I don't know what happened
You're the best ❤️
Just a comment, helping your video rating or whatever. Thank you for excellent buyers guide!
Thanks, I appreciate the gesture 🙂👍
GLX-5500 g- lide was my first square and its still running. The tide and moon phase looks awesome and made me buy it back in the day.
The Glx 5600 was my first gshock!! still on my wrist.
Is it worth getting? There's one for $30 at my local pawn shop
@@NathanChisholm041 Just get it,haha,it's good.
@@edmund8954 Yeah for 30 bucks can't go wrong
@@NathanChisholm041 if it doesn't work out,just try it's shock resistant.
Good video sir.
Thanks 😊
Truly excellent job covering the squares in part 1 and 2. I collect squares so I’ve watched your g-shock square videos multiple times!
Please keep making them.
One thing to make note of is you use the world downfall instead of downside. A downfall is when the watch is a failure and not successful because of a feature, whereas downside would be a negative or con of the watch.
Hope you make another video of squares! Thank you.
Thanks for the clarification, there is another square video coming this Sunday that will cover the historical models from first model until 1995
Watch Geek wow, that’s great, thanks for the heads up... I subscribed and have the notification on so I’ll check it out.. thanks for the reply!
I had the GWX in Red and it was gorgeous. Sad I sold it during Covid for some extra cash lol.
I found it useful. 😄
I'm glad
Keep it up!
Thanks 😊
Nice video.
Thanks
I Have the GLS-5600, its great. I found some days ago the bisel has a gap between the bisel and the frame. It could be a problem?
Since you are considering the models discontinued, a lot are missing, like g-8100 and one of the most interesting g-shock ever: g-7800. And there were some in titanium as well like mrg-110
Thanks for the info, I'll include them in some of my future videos
The 056 squares look like watches from the future. Didn't know all these others existed, although I used to own the G-Lide. Man, I love G-Shock Squares.
The futuristic look of the "polygon" is the reason it was used in the movie Avatar. It was worn by the character played by Michelle Rodriguez
@@WatchGeek Cool!
My favourite Casio G-Shock is: DW-D5500BB
I think it would be useful if you mentioned which models had the recessed upper left “A” button. Some people want it, some hate it.
Great Video! Top Top Top!!!! :-)
The one who figure it out which one is my favorite SQUARE, will win a fabulous Casio F w91 😌
😂😂😂👍
The DW-D5600P (which you refer to as DW-D5600) is not a line Casio wants to replace regular 5600s, despite possessing a higher quality screen and timer/alarm features. It lacks the distribution, which results in higher prices, competing with their growing models with solar/MB6 even. It lacks the variety of bezels, which makes many of them not "look" like normal 5600s.
The "polarizing" GW-5600J (which you refer to as GW-5600) has specialized advantages: larger numerals and no silly 2-letter day display. More serious than the inability to simultaneously display time and both day/date is that these require a different bezel and strap, traits (and parts) shared with the DW-56RT. For some of us, it's a better value than the GW-M5610. And looks better, too.
Hi you Watch Geek :)
Does the G-8000 also belong to the cube model, I'm not sure ...but.... a very interesting and rare model of an interesting module that could be mentioned . ;)
I have the DW-56RT 7:47 and thumbnail (Referee Timer). Mine reads "Referee Timer" where the one in the video reads "TIMERS 11".
My favorite G's
The 56RT looks cool.......
Gx56 have the features like new gshock .home time swap
GW-056 👌👍❤
I think you can create part 3 covering the vintage squares.
Haha already ahead of you, it seems great minds think alike 😁, as that video is coming out this Sunday 👍
Awesome video and some awesome G Shocks! My Atomic feature is still working for my Atomic G Shocks, you happen to know when they are suppose to stop the atomic signal in California????
In 2019, if it really comes to that
Sometime next year. I sold nearly all my atomics on eBay and switched over to Bluetooth G-Shocks just in case. I'm from California, too.
Will the LCD wear out ? And will the rubber gets mold and easily break if i never use it for 1-2 years? My adidas watch has mold on it i didnt use it for like 2 years and it breaks when i bend it. Im going to get my very first gshock, hope you guys can help me
It won't break and the screen will Outlast anything out there
Keep up the great work,one of if not the best G channels since fwupow went down the rabbit hole.I will comment howewer on the GW-5600J you mentioned that came out in 2003.that had some great attributes like Ti caseback inscribed with text,THE G,an extra long strap with a bucke inscribed,THE G.I loved the expanded case which gave it more wrist presence.and how many of us plan on needing 6 band,I,m fine with 2.this watch had a bigger impact then you realize.okay,now onto the King(flame suit on)which is ridicoulous in size,you know,Invicta Russian diver size.unless you are Gorilla monsoon or Andre the GIANT you will look like a horses ass in public and 5 years down the road say what the hell was I thinking.
Thanks for the kind words 😊.
I miss fwupow as well, it was one of the first channels I followed 👍.
Like I said in the video GW5600J has a cult status and followers, and I was not wrong. It is a polarizing watch and I knew sooner or later someone will flame me 😄👍.
The king is ridiculous, but I just got one for my friend and plan on making a review, and I was surprised at how normally sized it is. I guess the new Frogman and Rangeman kind of changed my perception of LARGE as the king seems reasonably sized next to them...weird, I know
Is there a Tower for Australia?
I think you have missed one which is CASIO G-SHOCK MINI GMN-550
got myself the GWX5600 and modded it with combi bracelet + 5000s' soft resin bezel abomination
about 20++ years ago my mom bought me the G056, its still working today, just that the LCD is not that clear anymore
And there is a high chance than it can be fixed.
Is just polirized film
I have a glx5600, it beeps on countdown at halfway and the last ten seconds as it nears zero. Any idea which other models do this as i find it really useful?
It's called progress timer and there are some other models using it but I don't know which exactly
@@WatchGeek thanks
You are right ...the GX's are pretty whacky!
Yup 😊
👍
Can you make a SOTC video? :)
I might do it as an end of the year video 😊
Great video, as usual :). Keep them coming.
I thought you might be interested in this app for the iPhone, it's called Clock Wave, since I live outside the coverage area for the atomic clock towers, I wasn't able to take advantage of the Multi Band 6 feature of my watch, this app is like magic, I was able to successfully sync my watch in the middle of the day some 4500 KM away from the nearest tower. Maybe you could do a video review comparing it to atomic clock towers :). Thanks again for the video.
I've heard of it, but you have to change the home city to Tokyo which makes the world times messed up
Interesting. What country are you from, though, that keeps you away from the nearest tower?
No need to change anything, it's a newer app that has all 6 towers listed. It cost $1.99 on the app store.
Manny4356 Qatar.
Oh wow that's cool 👍😊
titanium?
does dw d56oo has tough solar
Nope
I have ordered for Casio 5600dolar watch is that a good one
Yes
🖤⌚
I may be super late, this has to be that Sakitech guy right?
Sir can i ask you who are you ?
Are only gshock collector or what ?
Nope, I love all watches, from basic quartz to higher end mechanical
Most of then not available in India. If available then cost more than 20% of original
sad u didnt put MRGB-5000B in video
It didn't exist when this was made 😄
@@WatchGeek oh ok didnt know
@@WatchGeek btw, i got g-7710 and i literally scrolled trought the entire g shock page and couldnt find it, do u maybe know why
:o
