I grab a watch during a PX run on my Basic Training in the Army. 8 years later, after 2 deployment and 5 change of duty stations, I still have it. Change the battery a year ago, slap on a bull bar. still alive and functioning. Durability unbeatable. Perfect watch in my opinion. No need to recharge the battery every 6 hrs. $40 well spent on this Casio g shock dw5600.

I bought my first G-Shock in January of 1991 as I was being deployed during Desert Storm. I used it daily for 14 years, at which point I bought a new one, just to get some new features.

The first G-Shock ran about 18 years on the original battery, when it started losing time. The battery didn't die until it was just over 21 years old. I was utterly impressed.

Once a week I would throw it in the autoclave at work. It took it like a champ. Working in a hospital requires a clean watch.

I got my 5600 four months ago. My first G-Shock ever, loving it!

The auto-light when you tilt your wrist is such a slept on feature, I like that a lot.

If you are thinking about the GWM5610, I recommend the GWM5610U. The GWM5610U has a LED light; it shows the current time while using the stopwatch, world time, and timer; there are five world times (versus one); the date format can be changed; the language of the day of the week can be changed; and you can set the light for a three second duration.

Thanks for the review! Just bought my first gshock to celebrate my first month at work. I got the GW-M5610U.

GW9400-1 Rangeman
Best G-Shock that I’ve ever had, going back to an original DW5000 way back in 1983 as a 13 year old kid. My friend and I both bought one with our savings after seeing the hockey commercial.

I finally got my GWM-5610 couple of months ago and I LOVE it.

I LOVE this watch (and am going to order it).. I have the 5600-e now.. and love this too. I do want to point out, that while there is no doubt this (5610) is the nicer watch, there are features on the lesser 5600 that are far better and make more sense for practical daily use. Things like being able to see the time while in timer mode or stop watch. Or, the fact that I can not set a timer for less than 1-min, (like I can on the 5600). This is a problem for me when in the gym, counting my stretch and rest times. (again, practical use at play here). So, in that case the 5600 is much nicer to use. I also use the repet timer while at my desk all day to remind me to stand and stretch. Love this. and this is also not possible on the 5610. So, its annoying that the nicer watch has less practical features, or at the least a trade off of solar / atomic / world time for things that I think more people will use more often.

The 5610 is without doubt the best ever watch.

The GWM5610 is a SOLID watch. But there’s something about the DW5600. It’s the closest to the OG G-shock and has a legendary reputation for being durable.

I got the DW5600 and blacked out GA2100 right now.

I am thinking about getting the solar equivalents though and picking up a GWM5610 😅

I've had the dw5600e for about 12 years now an absolutely fantastic watch, the original battery lasted 10 years I replaced 2 years ago, the bezel and strap are still original and going strong.

[patrickyoung]

got the 5610 in normal positive display and the negative too. I never tire of wearing them.

[BrakkoJanus]

I have the GWM5610 and it's the perfect G-Shock for my puny wrist. Just yesterday I met a friend who was wearing the exact same model, and it was cool seeing that mine and his were both on the same exact time to the second. Yay for atomic clocks! Such a great carefree watch, the auto-light is a cool feature as well. I also use it to set my automatics, doesn't get any more accurate.

[DionisioChannel]

The atomic model does not serve me where I live, there is no antenna and without going any further in world time Buenos Aires my city does not appear on the list, a bad point for almost all, as well as the excessive and unjustified price for my use.
The automatic light also works in the replaceable battery model, which by the way is the most common and cheap battery model, it is a great advantage, it lasts about 5 years, I had several g shocks and this is the best and most comfortable model to my liking. Flash function with time signal, timer, chrono and alarm is a very important function for me
My favorite is the DW 5600, it is the one I use and the other G Shock I have sold because it does not make sense for me to have watches in a drawer, I only need one, this one.
Casio is the best by far of all the brands.

[Ricelord]

I just bought a Baby-G BGD560-7, and I love this thing. It's basically just a smaller version of the DW-5600.

Great review.I have just bought a used GWM560 for work, a superb piece of kit. The 5600 is an official watch for NASA, just like the Omega Moonwatch, also, the 5600 still displays the time whilst the stopwatch is on, which is a cool feature the 5610 does not. Apart from that, the atomic solar one is the better bet. Interestingly, the 5610 graphics are based on the first g shock, the DW5000 and the graphics on the 5600 are based on the follow up, the hero, which was used in that hockey video……..I bought the hero in 1984 with my hard earned cash at £45, a lot of money then and I still have it and it works perfectly; they change hands for some $300 these days, an awesome built watch.

[Dionysor]

yeah man i love my m5600. solar, radio, backlight and more features. considering its kicking since 10 years this is the greatest bang for buck i ever got

NIST received full funding and the station will not be closed down.

The DW5600 used a CR2016 battery cell, capacity of 90mah @ 3V, the power wattage is little low compared to the non G shock Casio watch that used CR2032; a 240mah @ 3V that has 10 battery logo, lasted for 10 yrs, then no need to worry about the charging of the tiny Solar battery; 18mah @ 2.3V, saved $100 bucks and buy 5 more Casio 10 year watches for spare.
