There’s no built-in GPS, but it will piggyback off your paired there are only four workout modes too running, walking, gym workouts, and interval this is measured and recorded in the G-SHOCK app, which was our main point of criticism with the GBD-H2000. However, while a vast array of improvements could be made to the app, it seems less critical here, given that there’s a lower emphasis on sports and athletic life is estimated to be a week, but it does have solar-power capabilities, which means that the time will be displayed, even if the main watch has run out of battery. That only requires two hours of sunlight exposure per week, so it should be achievable. The G-SHOCK DW-H5600 is available in three models, with prices ranging from £269 to £389. US pricing/availability is still TBC. June 4, 2021 The Casio G-Shock DW5600 is a simple an inexpensive watch that has become a quintessential non-essential accessory for tech-minded folks with a frugal streak, such as yours truly. In its purist form, the G-Shock DW5600 is tough as nails, its utilitarian function leaving a drab aesthetic that some consider a true classic. Others may say it’s a “dad watch” due to its underwhelming nature and anachronistic likeness to the original G-Shock DW-5000C from 1983. For me, it’s really both. On the flip-side, Casio/G-Shock has a history of borrowing from Swatch’s playbook. In 1992 G-Shock introduced resin colorways. In 1994, G-Shock introduced its first collaboration by partnering the with International Cetacean Education and Research Center ICERC, which unites scientists, artists, healers, and mystics in a shared effort to help whales and dolphins and other cetaceans. This collaboration watch paved the way for later mash-ups with pop-culture brands such as BAPE, Burton Snowboards, Wu-Tang Clan, Keith Haring, Gorillaz, Bamford London, and, of course, NASA. Limited edition collaboration G-Shocks now proliferate so profusely that they’ve become the epitome of drop culture. A drop is a limited release of merchandise, often as a marketing technique deployed by streetwear fashion brands. Drop culture is the thinking, behavior, and community surrounding drops. I can’t think of a better example of drop culture in action than Casio dropping the limited edition NASA collaboration watches in 2020 and 2021. G-Shock serves so many audiences that it’s hard to sort through their never-ending barrage of press releases, but, as a space nerd, this one caught my eye. I bought a single DW5600NASA20 from the G-Shock website during the initial 2020 release and my personal narrative was more like, “I’m into space stuff, this looks cool, add to cart!” I got in early. The hype-meter hadn’t pinned its needle just yet, but these NASA G-Shocks quickly wound up in high demand on the secondary market at prices cresting well above retail. G-Shock NASA 2020 Limited-Edition Open the pod bay doors, HAL. Photo Greg Bedrosian Model DW5600NASA20Type Digital QuartzMSRP $130Release Year 2020Size x x mm Visually, the G-Shock DW5600NASA20 is ultraclean and sterile, thus depicting a familiar futuristic space travel aesthetic. It’s a lot of white, almost too much. You might feel like Derek Zoolander strutting on a runway while wearing it. Fashion and marketing aside, the DW5600NASA20 feels like a toy belonging to a kid playing astronaut compared to the Omega Speedmaster, iterated to the nth degree in celebration of 1969’s moon landing. Unless you’re actually in NASA, you’re just dressing the part either way. I’m guilty on all accounts, but I did have space shuttle tent for my bed as a kid. Does that somehow count me as a NASA guy? Culturally speaking, for sure. The packaging of the DW5600NASA20. Photo Greg Bedrosian This 2020 release is supposed to “honor decades of space exploration and groundbreaking discoveries” according to G-Shock. That’s very broad, even for watch marketing. The whole package marketing lingo included is a miss-mash of iconic space imagery. It was also interesting that NASA was able and willing to bend its policy for this co-branding effort, allowing G-Shock to feature the red NASA “worm” logo on a commercial product. The red NASA logo seemed to be everywhere in street fashion during 2020, which helped the watch’s popularity immensely. A section of Stage-IB from a Saturn V rocket during assembly. Image NASA Archives The packaging is a step up from your average G-Shock DW5600, as you would expect for a limited edition. The 2020 cardboard package features a picture of the Earth. The metal tin has the same pattern as the Saturn V rocket used by NASA from 1967-73 and made famous by the Apollo mission. It’s a clever choice because the cylindrical nature of the packing tin is suggestive of the staged modules that separate from the rocket during launch. G-Shock NASA 2021 Limited Edition The DW5600NASA21 on wrist. Photo Greg Bedrosian Model DW5600NASA21Type Digital QuartzMSRP $140Release Year 2021Size x x mm A year later, in 2021, G-Shock dropped another limited release co-branded with NASA. The DW5600NASA21 was designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Space Transportation System mission STS-1, commonly known as the “Space Shuttle.” The glaring aesthetic change is that the DW5600NASA21 has a black case, which mimics the Space Shuttle’s stark colorway. The black belly of the shuttle is actually made up of thousands of tiles that serve as a thermal protection system, or TPS. The essential role of these tiles is to prevent the incineration of the shuttle and its crew from the approximately 3,000°F temperatures achieved during atmospheric re-entry. These black thermal protective tiles have become part of the Space Shuttle aesthetic. Image NASA Unboxing the watch, you will notice that the resin strap is different from the first, all-white NASA G-Shock. The black shapes on the strap are styled after those same tiles that give the Space Shuttle is distinct lines. Continuing to comb through the packaging contents, you will notice that the 2021 design is entirely specific to the shuttle, not just NASA. The packaging for the DW5600NASA21. Photo Greg Bedrosian The outer cardboard box itself is meant to look like one of the closed-circuit television monitors for the payload handler giant boom-arm in the cargo bay. However – and here I’ll show you my space nerdery in high gear – there was no Remote Manipulator System or mechanical arm on the first shuttle mission. Oh well. The screen on the box lists facts about the STS-1 mission. The tin can inside that holds the watch also commemorates the first Space Shuttle launch on April 12th, 1981, as well as listing facts about the mission. Listing all those facts is cool, but it gets space nerds like me into fact checking. Space nerds love fact checking. As A Watch There is no shortage of colorways and limited edition versions of G-Shock DW5600s. In its most basic form, it’s a watch with roots in the 1980s. You get enough internal protection to use the watch as a hockey puck if so desired. The watch wears a little large as the resin strap is fans outward from the lugs rather than hanging most straps. This feature gives the perception of an integrated strap. However, after the resin strap breaks in, the seams between the case and strap will become more evident. Like most digital quartz watches, it is full of functions and features. The Casio 3229 digital movement has a two-year battery life and is good for +/- 15 seconds per month. That’s not particularly impressive for a quartz watch. It is operated by four buttons “A,B,C,D” and the menu system is so cumbersome that it’s borderline unusable. But thats’ ok, because the functions are close to worthless except for the stopwatch, which is easy enough to use. But are you really wearing one of these things out jogging? Not me. The buttons are also asymmetrical, and the “A” button in the top left of the DW5600 has a flush profile with the case that makes it nearly impossible to press. G-Shock’s customer support told me that, “too many customers were complaining about hitting that button by accident.” Casio’s solution is more annoying than helpful. One of the best features is the teal backlight that Casio calls “electroluminescent backlight afterglow.” Timex kind of wins the name game with “Indiglo.” G-Shock tends to reserve this style of backlight for special and limited editions, however. When the backlight is activated, images of space stuff appear behind behind the LCD. The 2020 version has the Moon, and the 2021 version features the Space Shuttle and the years 1981 & 2021. As A Collectable “Drop Culture” is nothing new. Photo Greg Bedrosian Predicting the future is usually difficult. In this case, there is a high probability that we will see G-Shock release the DW5600NASA2022 in the Spring of 2022 assuming the co-branding partnership remains intact. The biggest question is what will NASA celebrate? Surely not the anniversary of the failed spacewalk of 1982. You can play watch marketing executive and brainstorm something to celebrate about 1982’s Space Shuttle missions from this list from NASA. The specific event to commemorate is arbitrary, and the DW5600NASA2022 will sell out quickly when it drops. Folks like me who own the first two NASA G-Shocks will have to get the third, and the secondary-market flippers are poised to cash in on that mandate. These types of collaborations blur the line between the typically staid world of watches and the constantly disruptive world of fashion drop-culture. The NASA G-Shocks constitute one of the closest parallels I’ve seen between sneaker drop culture and watches. The MSRPs even share similar price points; $100 give or take. A trained eye can navigate the endless stream of “special” G-Shock models to predict the hits, just as a sneaker nerd can pick out the hits from Nike and Adidas. Something relatively cheap has the potential to quickly increase in value on the secondary market once the initial “drop” is sold out. One can find fun and profit in these speculations, and the NASA G-Shocks are sure to continue their upward trend. Secondary market gold. Photo Greg Bedrosian If you missed out on the NASA G-Shocks and the latest pair of Nike Dunks, that’s fine. Don’t let FOMO fear of missing out control your consumer dollars. There’s an easier way to study the red NASA worm logo the NASA Graphics Standards Manual, now published as a book, will set you back $80. While you’re at it, grab a pair of Nikes below MSRP from GOAT. Strap in for launch; next stop Hypetown. The iconic and best-selling DW-5600 shares the same shape as the original G-Shock DW-5000C.

I used to play around with it a lot. Its plastic band reminded me of those limited-edition Burger King Rugrats watches, and I loved pressing its metallic buttons to hear it beep. The backlight gave me the same vibes as those weird bendy light bulbs you could buy to attach to a Gameboy Color. Because of these memories, I’ve always associated G-Shock with a level of fashion nostalgia—something highly recognizable but tinged in novelty. Yet here we are, 21 years later, and that watch is still en vogue. The Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V, which the company refers to as the “quintessential” G-Shock, has been a bestseller since its market debut in 1996. The water-resistant watch is based on the original G-Shock that was introduced in the 80s and has kept the same features and aesthetic since day one a square face, an alarm, backlight, timer, stopwatch, shock absorption, and an annual calendar. Curious how the DW5600E has made it this far without fading into obscurity, I grabbed the $70 watch for myself. I had to find out Why on earth is this watch still so popular? What I like about the Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V Credit Reviewed / Kevin Cortez The G-Shock DW5600E is a minimal tech-friendly timepiece. I really like how the DW5600E looks—slim and minimal. Most of today’s digital watches look bulky and aggressive—usually to showcase that they can survive a ding or two at the gym—but the G-Shock’s slenderness feels refreshing and modest. Chalk that up to its retro style, which embraces technology that might’ve been featured in a movie like Alien. As someone who gets angsty at the amount of times he looks at a screen in one day, this is a relief. Its tools throw back to a time when digital watches didn’t come with Bluetooth capabilities or the ability to remind you of yet another notification to check. I love how looking at this watch feels like a display, and not a screen. I had fun toying with the watch’s alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, and backlight. The beep-beep-beep-beep alarm tone of a G-Shock waking me up in the morning was, again, refreshing compared to my usually loud smartphone alarm. The screen’s backlight, which I found useful even during the day, has a radiant blue glow to it that feels gentle on the eyes. Cycling through and setting the watch’s time and date is easy enough, despite the fact that there’s a lot of G-Shock-specific instructions to learn. I didn’t want to take the watch off. I even wore it in the shower, and it resisted water as intended. I think the nostalgia bug bit me hard here—I fell in love with this watch just like I did when I was a kid. It feels like an affordable beater that’s built to last. Over the course of a week, I casually tested its shock-absorption capabilities while taking breaks at work. I can attest that after tossing the watch up and watching it slam down onto the ground, knocking it against my coffee table and desk, and slapping it with the dull part of a screwdriver, the DW5600E-1V is a truly durable piece of hardware. I also wore the watch while working out and found it super comfortable. The silicone band fit my wrist well and barely slid around during bouts of kettlebell swings. The watch didn’t feel gross or moist when I got sweaty during my workout. I even used the stopwatch function for timing my rests, which felt like a novelty given how simplistic it is. What I don’t like about the Casio DW5600E digital watch Credit Reviewed / Kevin Cortez The DW5600E is built tough, but not indestructible. It goes without saying, but "shock-absorbing" doesn’t mean "invincible." Inspired by Casio’s original G-Shock commercial, in which a professional hockey goalie catches a puck in his mitt while holding the watch, I thought about more extreme ways to test its durability. This led me down a wormhole of YouTube videos where various G-Shock fans drove their cars over a DW5600E and were in awe over its seemingly pristine condition. Excited to do the same—and forgetting the usual "don't try this at home" disclaimer—I ran over the DW5600E with my Kia Soul. The watch broke. This was a bummer because I just didn’t expect it to. I don’t know if that’s truly a strike against the Casio, but obviously, this watch isn’t indestructible. Gratuitous damage aside, the only issue I had with the then-living G-Shock was with its recessed button. To adjust the time and reset the stopwatch or timer, you must press down and hold the watch’s top left button, which in G-Shock terms, is known as button “A”. From there, you can cycle through numbers with the “B” top right and “C” bottom left buttons. The A button is recessed while the others protrude. This is so you don’t accidentally adjust your watch while in movement. The thing is, I found this button hard to intentionally push and scraped my nail against it whenever I needed to hold it down. It was somewhat frustrating to use while exercising and counting down 50-second breaks, as I couldn't do it in an instant and had to fumble to reset my timer. I’ll also say The G-Shock DW5600E-1V used to be cheaper. Less than three years ago, it retailed at around $40. Today, it's $ As much fun as I had with the watch, I don’t believe it's worth a penny over $55—and that’s pushing it. For a barebones digital watch that can’t perform more than a handful of functions, I think about $70 is way too high. Is the Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V worth it? Credit Reviewed / Kevin Cortez Function and performance with the G-Shock DW5600E are top-notch. Yes, but I wouldn’t pay full price. If you’re looking for a watch that can take a beating and is versatile enough to wear daily, buy yourself a G-Shock DW5600E-1V when it's on sale. Its style, modesty, durability, and nostalgic feel makes it a watch worth owning—even in a market full of smartwatches. Being that it’s such a popular item, it’s fairly easy to find one on sale at less than $55 from retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Kohl’s, and even eBay. If you can swing that price, I recommend grabbing this simple timepiece for some nostalgic flair.

Whenever a square classic G-SHOCK watch is delivered to me, I cannot help but be amazed. Furthermore, it makes no difference what year, series, or module it belongs to. Simply said, it’s the most traditional and comfortable watch type I’ve ever used. It has several great features, like being lightweight, small, durable, and informative. Today’s review on the site won’t focus on the most classic “squares,” but instead on the modern DW-B5600G-1. Phone linking is regarded as a sign of modernity in Japan. While looking at the DW-B5600G-1, I do not see anything new. Of course, a transparent ” swampy” style is certainly impressive. I’m more about the fact that the watch does not give the impression that it is a 2022 new release [the same as any other 5600s]. On the other hand, it is supposed to look like that. Japanese designers do not want the classics to go away – it’s their history, worldwide love [since childhood], and recognition. But they also understand another thing – the G-SHOCK brand requires an update. The DW-B5600 [and others with Smartphone Link functionality] act as a bridge between the past and the future. The DW-B5600 signifies the entry of the low-cost “plastic” segment into the mass market, whereas previously Bluetooth functionality was only found in high-end products like the GMW-B5000. That is an interesting direction for evolution, which is set by time and technology and not by the manufacturer. If there weren’t industry competition in the form of smartwatches and multi-sport watches, I believe CASIO would still be producing traditional watches. Otherwise, you have to change, no matter how painful it may be. In any case, the challenge has been accepted, and we can now see the new-old shocks in the DW-B5600 body. The main difference between the new epoch and its predecessors is the Smartphone Link functionality. Considering that, the DW-B5600 is not the first inexpensive square G-Shock with Bluetooth, because there is also the GW-B5600 [which I own], but it is definitely the first polyurethane G-SHOCK which can also be called the cheapest in this segment. The watch seems to be perfect affordable, classic-looking, and supporting modern features. That is true, but phone Sync cannot be referred to as technological advancement in the watch industry. It is just a great addition to the watch, nothing more. I’ll explain, but let’s first look at all the functionality via the CASIO WATCHES APP. The process of connecting your watch and phone. You will be able to see the watch in the app once your phone has “found” it. A set of menus that your phone can control. Basically, you can adjust all of your watch’s settings from your phone. Example of timer and alarm settings. Adjusting the time synchronization and choosing the second time zone for world time. Phone finder function [audible notification] and daylight saving time setting. As you can see, nothing has changed overall other than the ability to use the Phone Finder feature to locate your phone. No pedometer, calorie counter, or intelligent alerts. Yes, there is automatic accuracy correction, which is awesome. It also provides comfort and makes adjustments simpler. It is no longer necessary to press the small buttons and understand the logic of the settings; it is much easier to do so on the phone. In fact, the DW-B5600G has duplicate capabilities, but only from the phone, and the phone adds little to the watch’s capabilities. I’m sorry for the play on words, but I think you get my point. So what am I driving at? It’s not enough for me. I expect more from such integration. But who am I kidding? Without the MIP display, no one will be able to make a watch more functional. GBD-200UU-1 with MIP diplay And with the MIP display, CASIO has no problems with calories, pedometers, etc. So I’ll put my skepticism aside and enjoy the new DW-B5600’s features. The dial inversion is a little embarrassing, but I’m so used to it in the 5600 that I just accept it. There is, however, a nice backlight that minimizes readability issues. The inversion, on the other hand, makes the watch more aggressive and stealthy. I, personally, like this design a lot. I’d also like to draw your attention to the strap. In addition to its swampy transparency [the style is extremely unusual], it is noticeably wider than its classic counterparts. An extra point for the original style. And the main disadvantage is the lack of solar power. Even though a CR2016 battery will last for three years, solar power is preferable. However, even with the “Solar Battery” my GW-B5600 failed after five years [possibly due to insufficient use]. Conclusions If I were asked “what affordable G-SHOCK watch would you recommend?”, I would definitely point to the DW-B5600. The reason is simple Smartphone Link is a more interesting feature than just a regular module. Would I buy myself a watch like this? I doubt it, my square favorite is still the GW-5000U-1 without Bluetooth. *Valdemar, specially for & Support Ukraine & Stay Healthy!
