Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V Men’s Watch Review

The Casio DW5600E is a fairly straightforward G-Shock. This is one of the most popular G-Shocks ever made and also the principal reason of this is that the incredibly superior price/quality ratio; it essentially is a deal for what it has to offer you.

DW5600E-1V - A Challenging watch


Since Casio did not plan to go fancy on this watch, the layout is simple, with a practical square screen and a comfortable band. The case back utilizes a 3239 module and is made from stainless steel. Lastly, the buckle is glistening and uses one single pin which goes with the multiple tightening levels on the strap. Speaking of size and fit on the other hand, this is one of the smallest G-Shocks available on the current market, coming at measurements of 48.9 X 42.8 X 13.4 mm and a weight of 54 g. It will surely not feel like a burden on the wrist and that makes it an overall better watch for everyday use.

On the screen, you may see the hour seconds and minutes, the day of the week and date. Here is the default settings from which you can further set the other functions of this watch. For example, using a press on down the left button, the alarm configurations will show up, then with a different media you get the timer, then the stopwatch, and also with the fourth press you get back to the home screen. The other buttons are utilized to adjust the modes enumerated before and for the lighting. As anticipated, things are pretty basic, no sophisticated sensors or some other stuff like that. Also, this is a watch that you can set once then never touch the configuration buttons until you have to swap the batteries; a thing which you'll need to do after a couple of years.


I'd say that the illumination is more or less useless, but I recognize it would be unjust to this watch since it does not praise of any dark light capabilities or "watch submerged" stuff, so I say is that the only help you'll get is when it is dark enough you cannot browse the hour without a little help in the EL backlight. And that is pretty much it. Do not expect any smart or superior illumination from its tiny backlight system.

At this cost you literally can not fail. If you believe that a cheap and practical G-Shock is all that you will need for now, you can go with the DW5600 with no further thinking.

Features List:

  • 660 ft. / 200 m water resistance
  • Countdown timer with one-second measuring unit and range of 24 hours
  • 1/100 second stopwatch
  • Auto Calendar
  • EL Backlight with Afterglow
  • 2 years battery life from the CR2016 type
  • Pretty loud alarms

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...
