The screw back cases are really nice on the squares. I have the 35th Anniversary Origin Gold DW5035D1B modeled after the 1983 DW-5000C-1B with the gold text on the bezel. Beautiful watch and mich more premium feeling with the stainless core.

Yes, the 5610u is a great watch when you don’t even notice you are wearing it. For almost the opposite reason, with the 5000u (though not nearly as bulky as the all metal ones) one enjoys it because it has just enough noticeable heft to feel its stealthy quality.

The GW-5000U does seem like the ideal square: perfect colorway and execution and features and construction, without the all-metal case/bezel distractions of recent years. I have 4 squares, none as exotic as these, however all are special examples for me and I do always favor the solar + MB6 when possible. The irony of owning a non-MB6 model is that they effectively keep worse time than a simple, cheap mechanical. Why do I say that? Because a mechanical will stop, and you set the time when you wear it next month, and that's that, whereas a cheap quartz is off by some minutes after several months and always requires a sequence of button pushing to get it back on correct time. I bought my son one of the Bluetooth squares a few years ago and it's great, but no one actually gives a shit about Bluetooth or goes into their phone for settings unless forced to. I think it's a shame the BT models do not also have MB6.
@raksh9
Жыл бұрын
That's strange. The GWB5600 models have MB6 and Bluetooth. Are there more Bluetooth squares than those? A MB6 emulator app makes MB6 watch time sync anywhere in the world that you can get internet connection. I often use the Android app to quickly change things like alarms and timer settings, and set world time cities. It's handy when various sporting events are happening around the world.

Good mini review Watch Geek. All good points. To paraphrase Johnny Cash (although he was talking about Martin guitars): “ I feel safe with a G-Shock square”. So, I ended up with 3 of them for different occasions. The GW 5000u as the “everything watch”; the 5610u as the “Happy Beater” with its bright, Bauhausian design touches. It is also super light so a great watch for training, outdoor and messy stuff. Finally there’s the GMW B5000 full black metal with the negative, STN display. Understated dress watch for social or more formal occasions. That way, I never have to leave “G-Shock world” - or even the operational muscle memory familiarity of the same 3495 module in each of them. The majority wrist time winner would be the GW 5000u though. Great watch if you “get” it. Maybe I (and my wallet) are fortunate in that the luxury automatic watch market holds no hypnotic appeal to me as it strangely does for many. In fact, with just my G-Shocks I may own too many with these three but at least it’s a guilt-free, affordable pleasure.

The most correct header I have seen in a while on a KZitem video, I recently found the 1st watch I ever bought for myself back in the late 80's, it was a Casio digital 50m watch & looked just like that one, I used it as a daily wear for years & as it was waterproof so I rarely took it off. Skip ahead a few decades & I was going through an old junk draw recently, you all know the one lol, & found this sad battered looking little lump of black plastic, the band had rotted away & it looked pretty rough. I was about to bin it when I was overcome with a bout of nostalgia so opened it up to see if I could just replace the battery, amazingly I had one & blow me if the little Casio didn't come back to life, I now have it hung beside my computer desk as an easy time/date check & a reminder of a never say die watch. Well that's it, I thought people here might be interested in my musings on my classic casio.

I never understood why people go with the gw5000u over the gmwb5000. Because the gwmb5000 is far superior in every aspect. Not only it’s a screw back as well but it has a stn display and the lug pin for the strap is not a flimsy pin like the 5000u but it’s like a thick pole lol that you could never break. And the modular is also superior and did I mention about the Bluetooth? I know some people don’t like but then my answer is to that is then you don’t have to use it and can easily will switch to using multiband 6. And the bezel is black metal which will never deform over the years of using it. I hope you guys will reply and tell me what your thoughts and excuses are :)

How did quality control allow this. What possessed casio to even sell watches with such useless functions on watches costing £ hundreds. They aren't even honest about it. They advertise them as having 5 alarms, hourly time signal, countdown alarm, audible beep, but then they don't say, by the way they have these functions but you cannot hear them. If they cannot produce g shocks with adequate alarms then don't fool their customers by putting them on. I've got 2 casio tough solars and their alarms are good and what you would expect.

No 🙅♂ In real the ONLY G-SHOCK a "normal" (really NORMAL!) person needs is b5600.

I wonder what is your opinion about hard to press buttons? This is something that annoys me quite a bit 😐

Agree. I have the GW5000U. The ONLY thing that I have an issue with is the hard to press buttons. Don’t mind the LED.

You can get aftermarket "extended" buttons.

My only watch is g640wb-1bef, and it's the best watch ever, small and elegant. Not a fan of bulky watches. It's a nod to vintage Casio, but is a completely new watch. And orange lit numerals on black background are a chefs kiss, reminds me of those vintage texas instruments calculators LEDs like TI-30 which I used to have, it's a delight to look at.

I just got the gw-m5610-1er this week and do like it a lot, mostly thanks to the new module. I have had my DW6900-1 for 4 years now (after seeing your review on it, I bought one from a store in Japan) and it's still my favorite g shocks ever. However, now that I am seeing your video on this one... I might want to try it out. It's like an end-game g shock that is still affordable. Perhaps putting it on a black metal bracelet will be cool. Thanks for another great video!

I'd like to point out that,actually, the "old school" about light would be a little bulb light on the side of the display

I love my GW5000U! Amazing piece in my over 50 watch collection. Glad I went with it over the 5610U

You wear your watch so loose. It would drive me crazy having it slide up and drown my wrist all day.

Is this 5000 watch bigger than the gwm5610u?
@WatchGeek

Yes, slightly longer in length and narrower in width, making it more "square" than the GWM5610

Just so you know; all 3 make your wrist look like a toothpick. Since you don’t care… that’s just great for “you”. Many videos have been made about watches looking dumb because they are huge or over sized for almost everyone. Btw; the trend is; going back to watches that are not oversized! Yes, I love Casio watches… but grossly oversized ones. Some people wear their pants inside out and backwards. To each his own.

“Boring” can be good when you are travelling. :-) What photos and videos can’t convey is the difference in how it feels to wear. Plus, with clothes (most reviewers only show a bare arm shot) that have their own colour, the understated look of the GW 5000u suddenly fits in really well and could even be described as classy for a resin Casio. Of course it is really a steel watch in a stealthy wetsuit…

Take a look at a GW-M5610TR or a GW-M5610MD-9. Far from boring.

Only one a 'normal" person needs is the basic 5600. I have others but this $50.00 version is the one I wear the most.

Exactly,I have had some higher end squares in multiples.GW-5000/GW-S5600,and to me the humble 5600E is the clear choice. a louder alarm,flash alert,and the advertised battery life of 2 yrs is more like 5-7 years.remember,Simple is Best.
