I'm hoping Casio puts a MIPs display in a normal square, tough solar of course. That's all I want.

Saving up to gift myself this bad boy for my birthday. So much functionality and so much g-shock in one. Love it.

This watch is literally my dream watch become reality. It is a G-Shock, It is square and stylish yet low key, it is a sports watch with and interface that isn't very distracting. Sadly though I can't afford it but one day I guess even it becomes outclassed.

Best review I've seen of the H5600, loved the close up photos mixed with action shots. I collect square Gs, but I mainly want this one for a MIP display. Currently wearing my GW5600J.

I love a lot of things about Gshocks, but the only thing I really hate, are buried buttons hard to press. Nice review!

im waiting for a not-smart regular solar square g-shock but with mip display

[TechTokOffical]

Waiting for it to come out without the heart beat sensor. Gemme a classic square with the new MIP display and that's it.

If Casio made a F91W version. I'd get it in a heartbeat.

Best test of the watch on YouTube! Thank you very much for your review!

Nice review, Andrei!

This is a good move made by Casio. And yes, another watch that can be bought as an excuse 😂 I’m still facing the problem that my apple watch has to stay home just to put casios on my wrist. It is the looks vs the smart features battle for me. In the future casio can develop even more smart features. Or they just need a colab with a smartphone company 😁

Multa bafta!

Wanting this in a solar world timer version.

would it survive a titanic expedition?

When Casio bring out one with a positive display, I'll buy one.

These are £269 in the UK which is priced in the same range as Garmin and Fitbit, but they're dedicated smart watches. Is this more of a watch with added features?

[barorepor]

I love the MIP, but I am no fan of this type of heart rate monitor: is not accurate. I compared it to my chest strap whilst cycling and it is constantly off.

It seems stupid but I think they mde the shroud removable so you could have better access to the buttons when you need to use them a lot. Can't think of any other reason for that. I bought the GBD 200 and after seeing several reviews I'm passing on this one. I have no need for a smart watch I have some really nice Squares and for MIP the GBD 200 is perfect for me. I dont think it's likely they'll release a solar MIP square in the near future. All of the Move watches are Tough Solar except the smaller square models. I watched a video about the designing of the Solar Cartier Tank. The amount of surface area needed to power the watch is very specific. They ended up using the numbers on the dial as the solar panels. If you look at these squares, theres not much room for any solar panels. Maybe in time they can reduce the power consumption of the MIP screens.

[Happy-Me.]

Great watches. I have two and a GBD200. I've also found that regardless of which one of them that I use it will count your steps and add them up for the day.

[nelsonhernandez]

I wouldnt call it an apple watch killer. YET .

The software isn't quite there, and the watch needs to do some improvements. I will buy this watch sometime in the future because I want a nice gshock with heartrate and oxygen level scanning sensors to track my calorie deficit, but Casio needs to improve on this model and also improve the software, which is lackluster to say the least.

Exceptionally practical review, Thank you. I have query, does DWH light up when you get a notification and does it light up when you navigate through the menu? Have the GBX100 and it's perfect....in the light. As a smart watch in the dark .... I've to constantly be pressing the illuminator button. Thanks again. Have you or will you be reviewing the GHD 2000?

“So perfect excuse to buy another gshock” 😅 bro is my spirit animal
