@@galagaxi I like the combi bracelet a lot. It's very comfortable and light, and balances well with the watch head. The gold accents are attractive, so it depends what mood you're in. The positive display was a big reason for why I chose it, as all reports suggested that the standard negative display is quite hard to read. After a year, I picked up the utterly gorgeous blue IP full metal GMWB5000 with black resin strap, too. It has a negative display, but the STN version is much easier to read. I tend to wear the blue version when I have long sleeves so it protects the blue IP coating, and it doesn't attract attention. Tye black and gold version gives me a real feeling of security because the resin bezel can be very cheaply replaced if it ever takes major damage/scratches.

The biggest thing I just noticed on the 5610 (U version), is that the viewing angle of the display is very poor compared to the normal 5600e. For example, in the car I cant glance down at the screen while driving like I can with the battery version. Same while even typing right now, if I look down at my wrist, the screen is all garbled. I have to really turn the face to me to read anything. Sad. I don't see this mentioned very often, and is definitely a negative thing with this watch (also the sound is wayyyy too quite compared to many others, even other solar ones). But, I still love the looks. Its just frustrating that Casio cant seem to combine all the best features in one watch. They force you to pick and choose.

I wouldn't upgrade but damn the ability to have a longer backlight is on the new one is awesome. Its a shame about the price increase. If they offered Bluetooth on the red strip too then maybe. It wouldn't need to be atomic then as you could just install an atomic clock feature on your phone. The Bluetooth and time zone features on Casio watches make them the perfect travel watches IMO. If they add Bluetooth to the red strip I might consider rebuying it....well maybe if they put better pushers on it too. 😅 Not a fan of those old-style pushers. Especially if you got big hands as I do. I bought my edifice ECB500A specifically for the Casio Bluetooth feature and man it's awesome for travel. My only knock against that watch is that it's soo heavy and you can't replace the bracelet. The pins are press-fit in and you need to send it to Casio to get it removed or replaced...what were they thinking? I did mod this watch with an Aliexpress machined clasp though. That made a huge difference in the wearability of the watch for me. Why Casio uses these cheap 2 micro positions stamped clasp bracelets on their watches is beyond me. But I bought the watch hoping to chg the bracelet so that's fine I just wish it wasn't press fit to the bloody watch. Just One More watches saved this watch for me when he talked about the machined clasps in one vid. Who thought an 8 dollar piece could make such a difference for me on how a watch wears on my huge wrists.😂 Note I saw the other day Long Island watch is selling machined ratcheting clasps for watches. I'd buy one for every watch bracelet I own if they weren't 60 bucks. I am tempted for the Edifice though. The weight of the watch makes on-the-fly micro-adjustment VERY tempting.

With my Bluetooth squares (which have LEDs instead of “electro-luminescence”) I can see bright spots in the corners sometimes when I look at the watches at an extreme angle. It’s as if a little bit of light is getting past the polarized film which is part of the LCD. But at normal viewing angles I don’t see that. And, yes, the light can look brighter on the edge just because it really is an LED shining from the edge. But I also don’t really notice that unless I am holding perfectly still and staring at the watch.

So far I only have the one carbon fiber watch using the new “U” module. It doesn’t have the fade-in and fade-out LED backlight. As far as I know, the fade-in and fade-out is only offered on the Bluetooth versions of the G-Shock squares. I have three of those and they each have the fade-in and fade-out LEDs.

I think you’re referring to the GW-B5600MG which is shown at Shockbase.org here: shockbase.org/watches/watch_dyn.php?model=GW-B5600MG-1&subseries=GW-B5600&series=5600 I modified mine by replacing the original watch band with a Casio composite bracelet. There was also a slightly different version which came with a unique watch band and it’s this one: shockbase.org/watches/watch_dyn.php?model=GW-B5600MG-1PRL&subseries=GW-B5600&series=5600

The new version with the titanium back is the GW-S5600U. Some folks also say (but I’m not sure how to confirm this) that all of the other metal pieces on the outside are titanium, like the buttons, the buckle parts and even the tiny screws which secure the back piece.

I love squares too but I don't have as many as you do, but I've got 7 different models so far. Love combi gen 2 bracelets most of all and chinese titanium laser etched camo aftermarket bands. I've got the three new bluetooth models, the gold edge one, the black one and the blue edged one. I put a gen 2 combi bracelet on the blue edged one. Again, I like the combi better than the resin band.

The GW-5000U is between $340 to more than $400! That's is overprice, since all GW/DW-5000/5600 are really obsolete digital watches. Hate to be the contrarian here and take in consideration G-Shock is producing lots of new digital watches with better looks and screens than this ones. Take for example the new GBX100 line of new octagonal (so called squares) digital watches, with MIP displays are better looking, modern and less expensive options than the GW/DW-5000/5600 old line.

Agreed! I personally would not pay more than a $100 for a G-Shock square. My $40 fitness band has more features than these! I don't mean it in a bad way, but Casio needs to step up their game! I would love to see the b5600 with Bluetooth include an activity tracker! The form factor of the m5610 with Bluetooth and activity tracker would be the killer G-Shock square! I would pay what they ask for now (new versions) if it could have that! Simple basic updates then charge double market price is just unrealistic to me! 🤷🏻♂️

Ariel Arguello, are you aware of the existence of the Casio GBX-100 model? You just accurately described this model. It also has a vibration But personally, my choice is GW-M5610U - the most practical and functional watch in the world for its price. I never understood the hype about the GW-5000 model. They are heavier, thicker, much more expensive. At the same time, everything is functionally the same, but from the outside they look like an ordinary inexpensive G-Shock.

@@Oleg__ Hi! Yes, I've recently discovered the GBX-100 and I think there's a new 200 version that recently was released. That's the idea, but that's a big watch too and much more expensive. But I do think that should be the future of G-Shocks and slim those down. I'm also leaning towards the M5610. Thanks!

Ariel Arguello, M5610U. ) Don't forget, U matters. I already have this watch for several days. Very satisfied. I really like the screen with its large and easily readable numbers. On many G-Shocks, I don't like how the numbers are read, especially the month and date: small and poorly legible, when you can confuse 1 and 7, for example. This is observed, for example, on my GW‑9400 Rangeman. This is my biggest gripe with the Rangeman and many other models that have similar month and day displays. In this regard, in the display module, which is used in the M5610U and other models, the month and date (or date and month in my case) are read just fine. The number 1 is very different from the number 7. The number 3 is also perfectly readable.

I like the Bluetooth watch overall. I don’t use the app very often so I can use the watch as if it didn’t have Bluetooth most of the time. But sometimes (if I get bored) I think it’s fun to manually mess up the time and date randomly, knowing that I can almost instantly correct it all if I connect it to the app.

I’m guessing that if they made the alarm beep louder then it would also cause the button beeps to be louder. Perhaps the buttons would be too loud and bothersome. I don’t know. I suppose I could set multiple watches to sound their alarms simultaneously and if they’re synchronized well then it’ll sound like one alarm only louder. I will have to try that.
