G-Shock GWM5610 Casio Review

G-Shock GWM5610
G-Shock GWM5610
With a design inspired by the first G-Shock ever created, the 2012 GWM5610 includes brand new and enhanced capabilities, plenty of new features and, obviously, greater resistance to all sorts of shocks. Actually, it resembles so much the first DW-5000 G-Shock created in 1983 which it's impossible to tell the difference if you don't hunt for the small design discrepancies. And if the features are altered as the technologies evolved, the fundamental attribute remained and by that I mean the simplicity/ease of usage.

Since Casio created numerous G-Shocks for virtually every outdoor activity, with this particular watch they desired to please the daily users more, which need the resistance and other awesome features of other milder G-Shocks but in precisely the exact same time a slick design, a bigger footprint and obviously a smaller weight. Along with the GWM5610 is merely that; a little and easy G-Shock capable of defying bad treatments, containing the functions that made the G-Shock lineup famous.

Should you ever compared older G-Shocks using their newer counterparts you must have noticed that everything from the detectors to the substances used is improved in the newer version. Casio tried different variations of it on previous watches, which really be said weren't that great, but now with all the new and improved version, the watch may work for 10 full months without any light exposure after a full charge. Anyhow, something is certain; it came a long way since the very first implementation.

Another quality that shines is the multi-band Atomic Timekeeping which guarantees a dependable and accurate time by getting calibration via radio signals around 6 times every day. The daily alerts are pretty loud sufficient for waking you up in the daytime but definitely not sufficient to hear it in a crowded room for example.

Design and Wearability

Speaking of the display, it's square, very straightforward and practical. I will not enter into specifics on how each button setup works, but normally you will have lots of button combinations which will let you do lots fascinating things with the display. As an example, you can change the 24-hour format to the 12-hour AM/PM format; scatter the button sounds or changing the city code screen to where you travel to. These are just a few of the things you can do, however, you can have more insight to the configuration of it in the user's guide.

The strap includes a fundamental securing system with one pin and different tightening levels, the ring itself is very comfortable not due to the resin from which is made of, but due to the great weight balance, Casio was able to create. At 52 g you won't recall you wear a watch which has a 660 foot water resistance and is capable of resisting high amounts of shocks.

I think that the term that describes best this opinion is practicality. As I mentioned previously, this is a watch that you put once then never know it has configuration buttons on either side. Finally, if you are looking for a little G-Shock that is both functional full of useful features and also coming in a relatively small price, then the G-Shock GWM5610 is definitely for you.

Features List:

  1. 200 m / 660 ft. water resistance
  2. World Time
  3. Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping. It can receive the time calibration through radio signals.
  4. Full Auto EL Backlight
  5. Daily alarms with one snooze alarm
  6. 1/100 second stopwatch
  7. Lightweight and considerably smaller than other G-Shocks at 52 g and 46.7 X 43.2 X 12.7 mm
  8. Full Auto Calendar
  9. Good fit made possible by a quality and carefully crafted Resin band
  10. Self-charging system from any light source, preferably the sun.

Casio G-shock Solid Colors DW-5600BB-1JF Japan Watch Review

Most G-Shock fans understand the DW 5600 really well. The version we are talking about in this review is the DW 5600BB that's different just by its coloring/design from the original version. As you might already know, Japanese versions of G-Shocks are always sort of bizarre, coming with all sorts of different colorings and variants regarding the design. People who need a drop of weirdness and unicity in their own watches always search for them and treat them as collection timepieces. Not to mention that these variations are kind of rare hence retaining value over the years quite well. The all-black layout isn't a joke; even the clasp that's made from metal has been painted to match the rest of the watch. The only thing colored differently is that the backlight that is light blue. Here is the sort of watch it is possible to set once and then never do it but nevertheless an extremely bugging thing about the watch is represented with the rigid buttons for configuratio...
