I started with the base $45 DW-5000 thinking I would be satisfied, but like chips, you can't have just one. 6mos later I bought this exact watch, then I did what I thought I would never do, I spent $500 on the all metal G-5000. The square G-shock is an incredible go anywhere, in any environment and seems to fit everyone. Anyone on the fence looking for a near indestructible watch that comes in just about every color and design wont be disappointed.

Great review, no wonder the crystal was scratched after grinding it in the dirt, lol! I have the DW5200 from 1984, the hero, and the crystal is unmarked and I have been diving, hiking, DIYing and it has accompanied me in the original Gulf War and later in Iraq. One of the small details of this watch you reviewed is that the graphics are so much more classy and the U designation means that it has the date that can be in the USA mode or the European mode. This will genuinely last a lifetime if my 38 year old DW5200 is anything to go by.

I have an older GW-5000, from about 6 or 7 years ago. At the time, it was the most expensive square G-Shock ever -- something in the area of $325 (I believe) -- and it was only available as an import from Japan on reseller sites. It was nearly indistinguishable from any other square available on Amazon for $35 to $80. Casio has gone overboard on the pricey squares since then. I still love this stealth, retro, nerdy, rarity.

Here are a few things to consider about the GW5000: 1. The first G Shock was created because the Casio engineer dropped and broke an automatic watch which had been a gift; he became obsessed with making a watch that could withstand shock, drops and water. The GW5000 is structurally the same as the first G Shock, which demonstrates the efficacy of his design. 2. The entry level squares have resin inner cases, whereas the GW5000 has a steel inner case. This is what gives it more weight and heft. It also has a screwdown caseback, unlike most other G Shocks. 3. This G Shock as much a purpose built tool watch as any vintage Rolex Submariner or Omega Speedmaster. It only lacks the romance of historical adventure because it came after those models. And today, this is way more an explorer's tool watch than any current Rolex, Omega, Longines or Oris. Seiko and Citizen have taken their place as manufacturers of inexpensive and robust tool watches. If only Casio had put in the full metal module and display, then it would have Bluetooth connectivity, the extra crisp STN readout, and bigger buttons.

Thank you for this! I was trying to figure out if it had the STN display or not. I got to use to the buttons and stn display on my steel model. I really wanted to like this one, but Im thinking the button size and lack of stn display is a deal breaker for me. I would have been willing to pay more for those two features. My steel version is almost perfect, but I really prefer the resin casing over the steel. It wears less.

This is a daily work watch and i even find i wear it almost all the time,even when not at work as its so comfortable . I also had the basic DW 5600e but it was just to cheap feeling and those screws on the back are a pet hate of mine.

Still GW - 5000 is not the most expensive TV models Casio designed, the stradegy of their pricing today is very sophisticated and it differs from what the Casio lovers would like to own for its money. As we see - the difference hides in details. Unfortunately, it matters and this is what they ask us to pay hundread / thousand pounds for😢. In order not become crazy in racing, mind the idea of the first Casio TV screen watch appeared: Simple, Rigid, Durable, EDC. In my mind to choose from two of them - is the best answer!

Az óra maximum 5 6 évig vízálló. Az óra szigetelései kiszáradnak egy idő után és így beázik. A hátlapi gumi szigetelés és a gombok alatti szigetelések kiszáradnak pár év után. Senki nem mondja el, de ezek tények. A gumi szigeteléseket zsirozni kell, így tovább bírja a vizet.

The metal core is really interesting. However I still think that the bracelet on my stealth GW-B5600BC-1B makes baby-G more premium than additional durability and weight.

I dont agree that analog watches are easier to read at angles. If im riding my bike to the train station with my 5610u on my wrist, I can glance at the watch for a second and know the exact minute and second, without lifting my hands from the handlebar. I would not do that with any of my analog watches. I would usually not be able to tell 08:42 and 08:44 apart with certainty or know the minute and seconds with confidence, with just a glance, without lifting my hands from the handlebar. I love both my analog and digital watches, but I cant really think of many real life situations where the time is more readable/faster to read on my analogs compared to my 5610u.

the 5610U is closer to the original with updated features though.

dw5610 vs. gw-5000u there is a night & day difference between the two.. 5000u not only has scew in caseback but the whole case that is holding the inside module is built like a tank it is all steel.. the 5610 has resin platic case that will rott & will be brittle in time.. but the stainless steel will last more than our lifetime it will last 10x or more than the plastic dw5610..

If you managed to scratch the mineral crystal despite the highly protective bezel, you would have shattered a sapphire crystal with the same impact. If you want sapphire, then £1500 will get you a Titanium model which you most definitely not be beating hard enough to damage, if you ever dare take it out of the house!

That only applies if a manufacturer makes their sapphire crystal thinner to save money, typically seen in low end watches. If we compare equal thickness sapphire to mineral crystal, sapphire wins hands down in every regard.

The mineral crystal scratches very easily. Doesn’t make the watch any less desirable, but the mineral crystal isn’t that scratch resistant.

Given that I scratched the crystal by rubbing it in the dirt, the impact resistance has nothing to do with it in this case. 😬 Fortunately the bezel will stop it happening in future.

Complete nonsense. Cheap plastic crystal scratches easy on all watches leaving them damaged. Sapphire can take knocks far greater than what would scratch mineral crystal. It is a far superior material used on all quality watches and nobody complains of shattered glass being a common problem.

@@erickbarroso767 mineral crystal definitely makes a watch less desirable. That's why people modify Seiko watches to replace it.

Man i get this being better than the 5610 but it just doesn't feel justifiably 3× the price better. Maybe when it dips a bit ill check it out

I like the 5000u and how it looks. All retro. But as we’re talking about digital watches. Heavy might not translate to usable quality. If it dropped from 20 m. A lighter watch will do better, just my opinion. Than a more heavy made one. I have the 5610u love it

I thought about that. Though when would you drop a watch that far. Or even drop it at all when it's attached to your wrist.
