CASIO G-SHOCK GW-M5600BC Review

[JakeFields92]

where did you buy this watch?

[hafidin1]

the reviewer sounds like forrest gump heheehe

[droche009]

Can you still buy this model new?

[0G05]

R gwm5600bc still available?

I saw one on a site but I'm scared that it's a fake cuz I thought these models r very rare now

[brunotheboxer]

I just ordered this watch. Thanks for a great review from a certified wis..

[Dinjan1]

Nice review, thanks

[informant007]

Nice review. The GW-M5600BC is currently my favorite G-Shock. It's not the leader in functionality, but I find it extremely comfortable with a nice degree of stealth. Yes, it's not easy to read in dim light, but the backlight compensates. The overall dark appearance doesn't scream "digital" like other G-Shocks. The bracelet is one of the best features. I wish you could buy it separately! My only real complaint about the watch is the anemic alarm. Way too soft. :-(

[RepublicCommando29]

I just got one yesterday and love it!!

[BLAQXMASQ]

what does the top right button do? i noticed if i hold it down it enables something but dont no what??

[informant007]

@BLAQXMASQ Go to 2:50 in the video. Doug explains it quite clearly there.

[owlddd]

Is it still possible to get a gwm5600bc-1 right now? I really want one! xD

[TheToeh5]

im getting one for christmas from parents. i cant wait. this is the greatest watch review ive ever seen. great job.

[adog50]

nice watch, check out my watches reviews bro

[OrangePHX]

That's a nice band..

[conimahoni]

wow this watch can make you blind....bad reverse display,stainless or titanium band strap hasnt matched to its style.

[heynicetry]

nice, very practical watch

[seanyj04]

100+ for a plastic digital watch. sorry never me, i'd rather by a gold guess watch.

[opmike343]

@seanyj04

Guess watches are pieces of shit. You're paying for durability with the G-Shock line and a feature set.

[chrisGREECEgr]

is it hard to find that watch in a shop or a jewelry,i mean not buying it from the internet?

[XtianUbec]

Hi Sir DougFNJ,

is it possible to change the metal wrists bands into a resin band?

[Mockingbird5150]

Think this is a very cool watch. My problems lie with the buttons. Very hard to press, especially the button that controls the light. Useless if you are wearing gloves as well. Unless in the sun, or a very well lit room, you will have to use the light to read the watch. And the light goes out too quickly. I know it eats up batteries, but three a three second burst would be great. Otherwise, I love the shape and look of the watch.

[EvilStrategy]

Right Hand?

[142753869]

i want one!

[WBarts]

Wish I still had my first Casio Oldie from back in 82-84 Grade school years. We all had a casio with the newest Feature "Countdown Timer" I was a nerd way back when Haha Think I purchased it from Jamesway with money from Cutting lawns. 20 or 30 bucks even then. It may have been 20 or 50meter. Simple watch that worked for years. Own Giez1100, Pathfinders- 1500-1300-PAG40, Mudmans - G9000 -GW9000a and GW1500A - Most are Atomic/Solar's. Casio - It's a Disease.

[WBarts]

Also out here in New Jersey, So is Casio and Doug. Maybe Casio put something in the water.

[glj38]

Great review, very helpful, thanks! :)

[hicks96]

Thanks Doug! Great Rewiew, Ive just bought one!! Thanks..

[hicks96]

Thanks Doug Great review! Ive just bought one! Thanks

[heshtech]

Is a countdown timer the same as an interval timer?

[michaelhpedersen]

I miss mine :(

[NosferatuD]

Nice video. Kind of an abrupt ending: "...hope I helped. So---"

[bubbleheels]

Hey Doug, always enjoy your reviews. Very good made, interesting and really about the stuff I wanna know about G-Shocks. Really really cool - go on man!

Have a nice day in NY - Greatings from Westgermany near Hannover

[MadaraUchiha311]

[davidrrg]

Very good review! I love g-shock! and this watch is mine soon!

[Geicoiz2much]

You Gotta Love The Classic's, Mines Cominq Friday

[namezryan]

IMA A TEEN WHO ROCk ShOCks[=

[009ezekiel]

thanks! im getting those next week.. now im sure that this is the watch i want!

[kli1]

Is there any other G-shock watches with same type of bracelet but cheaper?

[buzzkilling]

Great review. It's on the list for my next G purchase, thanks to your video.

[herefordmsv]

My only problem with Casio is the massive borders around the screen. I think thats a little dated now and we dont need it as are all pretty tech minded.

[amfrepalex]

just got the gwm 5600 i. i love it!

[Hiluxtaco]

There is a door in the bottom of the box. ;-)

[RepublicCommando29]

Is this just the reverse color of the

GWM5600-1?

[wilsonjing]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the post, it really helped me pick out great watch that is perfect for me. I ordered the GWM5600 because I don't like the reverse display very much. Anyways, I was wondering if the only difference between the two is the display.

[mkz4321]

how much does this cost?

[mohdnazri22]

DougFNJ, how much does the watch cost? TQ :)

[documentaryz]

Thanks Doug Merry Christmas

[DougFNJ]

Thank you....a belated Merry Christmas and hope youve been having a great New Year

[documentaryz]

Yay for the GREAT review ^O^;;

=) just ordered this watch after watching your review~

[DougFNJ]

Hope you like it.....definitely one of the best looking G's

[xActionMANx]

Great review thank you!

[DougFNJ]

No problemo

[dvouval]

again, nice review, Doug.. my problem is, that after I have seen this video, I have ordered wrong model of this watch - to be concrete: model 5600BCJ.. I didn't realise, that this model is different - has no european time-receiver, only japanese and US..

well, what can I do.. so, I have nice watches, but without the best function.. my fault ;))))

cheers

[DougFNJ]

I ended up with that model since I did this review. I like the larger size of it. It's quartz, so you have great accuracy, just manually set it from an online Atomic Clock :)

[DougFNJ]

Thanks again for the great words guys, as always, very happy you guys enjoy these videos

[septemberlibra28]

yea, it's a great watch! i just bought the white 25th anniversary limited edition g-shock!

[Rob0wns]

is that feature, where you hold the light a feature of most G-Shocks, for example on the G-Lide?

[DougFNJ]

Thats seems to be the function Casio has put in their releases these days

[donmega4]

great video, thanks alot

[xLegitBapesta]

i ordered one of these 2 days ago

[BlueBanger90]

Very clear and detailed review Doug, thanks. Keep up the good work, looking foward to your future reviews.

[johangolden]

wow. impressive review once again mate. You'd better be an engineer!? :D

[altini7]

Thanks a lot mate!

[altini7]

How much does it cost?????

Please answer if you know

Thank you...

[DougFNJ]

Prices vary, you could probably find it in the range of between $100-200

[neologicspasms]

I love Casio's watches for the most part, but honestly, I really don't like the look of the 5600s. I know a lot of people do, but for me it looks too retro, and square. The small white lettering they have on the outside face gives it a non-symetrical feel. I also prefer a round bezel, but the fact Casio stealthed the watch the way they did is really cool. I really like the band of the this watch. I wonder.. what do people see in the styling of this watch if I may ask?

[DougFNJ]

Funny thing is, a lot of collectors like the style for the same reasons you don't. It's classic, and it's the style that put G-shocks on the map and made it as popular as it is.

[BlueBanger90]

Sorry if this your stupid Taguer, Gucci or Rolex, but this watch is beatiful. True G-Shock style. Simply classic.

[neologicspasms]

just replying to BlueBanger, who thinks I have a Tag, Gucci or Rolex. No I don't. I have a PAW1500, and I love it. Funny thing is, lots of people don't like the 1500. I just must be all backward, but that's what makes us unique. If everyone like the same stuff, the world would be kinda boring wouldn't?

Oh and Doug. Now I understand why people like it. There are classics I really like, such as cars. I'm just not into classic watches. I enjoy looking at the tech involed in older watches.

[illproducer]

Great review. Love the watch.

[DougFNJ]

Thank you, a lot of people do, it's become very popular.

[asuraizen]

fuck.. i live in australia and fuckin hate it that i can't find it on here anywhere.. :@

[DougFNJ]

Ebay is your best bet as well, the profanity isn't necessary

[taibutaibu]

they probably dont sell it in australia because the wave ceptor tech doesnt work over there

[donnyb]

I looking to buy GW-M5600BC. I can't seem to find anyone selling them

[DougFNJ]

Ebay is probably your best bet.

[DougFNJ]

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words, very happy I could help. I think Casio has some great things going with these G-shocks, strong, feature packed, and a style for everyone. Enjoy your G's!!

BTW, I like Atomic for the fact that it keeps all my watches in synch with each other, and it's always accurate. to each their own.

[IMario75]

Thank you for the good information on the watch. I was about to drop about $700 dollars on a tacticle watch until I was stopped by a co-worker and advised me not to spend that kind of money on a work watch. I like the smooth flow of information that you give on the video. I have been looking for weeks now for a work watch and your video pretty much has me sold on it. Thanks a "G"

[jamesbond728]

dude! great video!! im 17 yrs old i have a casio g shock aw590 and i wore it to school football match then i got it scratched slightly :( only if the glass was made of saphire crystal, it would be impossible to scratch but seeing as casio only use hardened mineral crystal they can scratch anyway im reaal pissed off now i was gonna keep my watch in gooood condition, now im gonna sell it and get another g shock and promise myself never to wear it to football again :P

[KTSEROV2351]

i've been wearing casio ever since I was 14 y.o. now I'm 40 y.o

[KTSEROV2351]

i think the atomic time keeping is stupid lame, it already is accurate to within 15 seconds a month

[SonnyBurnettNL]

Great review! I'll be buying this watch soon (although I will buy the version with the regular display, GW-M5600-1ER) here in Europe. Thanks for posting the review.
