You hit the nail on the head with this video. Casio really should just take the leap and make standard squares and MIP squares. Have a standard battery one similar to the E model square and a solar/MIP square that's a little bit pricier like they already do. That would truly sell. Then do a metal line in the future

@@DesignAtelier I agree but that is called bussines. Who says that it won’t be a release soon with MIP? They also said that for now they want for square to stay original as it can be (after all it is the first G concept) and that’s why they have hundreds of other models. As for smart options I think they are unnecessary in every watch. Inaccurate HR, step counter that does what, tracking that you can have on your phone, a lot of information which serve no purpose for me personally. But the trend is here so we should step into a wagon like everyone. HR squre will be on my wrist 😉

It's the same situaton for me, also. I've had the GW-B5600 for 4 years and absolute love it, for what it is, no nonsense self adjusting solar watch with basic Bluetooth options. But when I would go running, hiking, working out, I used Mi Band5 fitness band for tracking hartbeat, and recording trails, using smartphones GPS ofcourse. So this kind of watch that will blend those two, that will suit all my needs, plus MIP display (which is a huge plus) is a win for me. Ofcourse I could buy more capable, true smartwatch like Garmin Instict 2 (which kicks ass with its capabilities), but I wanted to still wear a Gshock in day-to-day use, so that's the proof this kind of product will still attract HC fans.

This year I bough my first 2 G-Shock watches and the reason in both cases being exceptionally legible MIP displays and overall beautiful designs. As a teenager I always wanted to own a G-Shock but could not afford one and as a daily watch I chose a smaller casio watch that better fit my rather small 6.5 inch wrist. The dream came back to live though when I saw the beautiful blue GBD-200-2ER. Right after this one I also got equally pretty white GBX-100-7JF. Both have the new generation MIP displays and reasonable battery life considering you don't have to charge them like normal smartwatches which I've never been a fan of. I believe G-Shock crossed that line here and I will definitely not buy the DW-H5600 for sure as I already got more than I ever wanted with the 2 models I mentioned earlier. I'm also kind of worried that G-Shock will try and compete with Apple by putting in more and more smart features in the upcoming years which makes GBD-200 and GBX-100 the only reasonable options for G-Shock MIP fans like me.
@DesignAtelier

I shouldn’t be worried about G-Shock competing against the Apple Watch. The people who are looking to buy G-shocks will primarily buy them for durability and apple is yet to even touch that. My wife shattered her sapphire Apple Watch with a single half a meter drop. And not to mention that the app possibilities wear out quite easily on top of the constant notifications. All those are working against the Apple Watch and in favor of G-shocks. I think the barrier for gshock is more on the pricing. So long as they keep it simple and affordable they should fine for the next decade.

all so true! I totally agree and ended up buying a Instinct 2X Solar. and like you said, all I wanted was a readable neg display, i.e. a MIP display. And BTW one more thing CASIO did in their infinite wisdom: all the MIP watches CAN NOT show the date in German format (dd.mm). Duhhhh, implementing this on a MIP watch is probably 5 lines of firmware code. But no, CASIO enforced their US date format on all, which has confused me already on my 5610 several times. So it will probably take another 5 years to release a U version that then can also show dates in German format and weekdays in other languages than english. Meanwhile I am so happy with my Garmin, I probably wont come bakc to g-shock (if Garmin holds as long as my g-shocks)

After purchasing it, I was ranting like a madman to my wife that Casio needs to make a fitness tracker with the wrist sensors and smack that on the same GBD200 because that's all Casio needs to do to make customers like me not go for a Garmin or another similar brand. And now that they've made the DW H5600, I can tell they're going exactly in the right direction. I am definitely going to save up and purchase this watch. I just cant see myself without using a Gshock. EDIT: the jab at the app is true. Casio needs to step up their software game if they want to compete in the fitness tracker department, and Garmin still does it better by a longshot.

I couldn't care less about any of the fitness functions or the heart rate sensor. All I want is a G square with an MIP display, tough solar and multi band 6. That's all i want. I honestly, don't even want bluetooth because I know I won't use the app. My 5610 has been an absolute pleasure to wear for the past few years. Never needs charging, no battery replacement, never need to adjust the time on it (Automatically done every night while I'm asleep). It is just a no nonsense beast of a watch.

I have both Garmin and G-Shock in my collection. Garmin is best in the market for tracking fitness and exercise. I like G-Shocks because they look badass and for on-the-fly timing and such they are perfect. Plus very durable of course

I really like my GBD-200, which I actually imported from the UK, because the version in fire red wasn't available in Germany. I'm using it without a phone and even the step counter isn't to bad (+/* 50 meter during a walk of 5 Kilometers). Battery lasts 2 years and itÄs a generic CR2032. This one is much to expensive and charging a watch so often isn't acceptable.

Garmin Instinct 2 is great for sleep tracking. The sleep scores are great and you can get so many details. Also the body battery is a great feature to show who good you rested.

The timer and stopwatch themselves are a step down to the origins square with it not measuring the tenths of a the second. However, it’s very rare that you use that but the timer is more probable.
