Or not solar,

Ser that is solar ?

The G-Shock and other watches like it are still relevant to the people like me who believe a watch is just that... a watch.... something that I can look at to see what time it is or what the date is if I forget.... I don't need my watch to give me health tips, look at text messages, answer phone calls, or anything else... that's why I have a smart phone, iPhone to be exact... That either does or can do pretty much anything I want it to.... I have the classic G-Shock along with many other Cassio including my favorite the GD - 350... even the basics functions that they have I don't particularly use, but it's nice that they are there if I need them... I personally don't need my watch to give me any other information except the time and date... So your observation of the G-Shock and other watches being obsolete is strictly your opinion, and not necessarily those of everybody else, including myself.... Simply put, what may not work for you Ken and still does work for others

My favourite G-Shock is 5600 by Online Ceramics x Hodinkee.

$150 Australian? Woah man.. That's a eye-popping price. We have something called "Wal-mart" in the USA and they are sold there for $40. Even that is too high and can be found cheaper. I bought a new GMWB5000D-1 years ago for $300. You really should take a look at the silver metal g-shock square. I have the silver/gold/wine-red/matte black and the silver gets the most time on the wrist. Get someone in the US to buy it for you or something. You can look at the GMWB5000D-1 and know that it is 100% the modern submariner. This is what Rolex WISHES it had. Can you imagine how Rolex would be gloating if they invented multiband 6. That sucks you can't use multiband 6. You are in Australia so i take back everything i just said. Cheers.

They needed 200 tries to understand that rubber bounces ? And that’s the way to go?🤣

I have both, I like both. Another great Casio is the Casio Royale, that is my current new favorite digital watch.

$150 Australian? Ouch… they sell regularly here in the USA for $50, I just got one on sale for $29. Nice watch, classic style, terrible buttons though. I still wanted one just because of nostalgia. I also just bought a Casio Royale for only $20 and I am loving that even more than my 5600. All that said, I also have several automatic watches, my favorite is my Tissot Gentleman. But my daily wear, and gym watch is my Apple watch. You just can’t beat the functionality.

I have bought both gen 5 Bluetooth tough solar versions of these casioaks. I absolutely LOVE them both. Only 2 watches i own and will ever own. G2100 has a gold metal strap fitted for more posh events where the DW5600 is my workhorse! ❤️

Had the OG back in the mid 80s- purchased with grass cutting and paper route money. No idea what happened to that watch but I sure wish I still had it.

Very good review. I own several other watches (including an iWatch, 2 Casios but no G Shocks, Datejust, Omega Mars an Oris and others). I am a runner and over the past 5 yrs or so the iWatch became my daily. I have a few different straps that I alternate on the iWatch. Recently I replaced the battery on my oldest Casio, a 20+ yrs old Waveceptor, that works perfectly (again) and then I upgraded with a new Barton strap. Voila! That process was followed by a mini fascination about the G Shock. Initially I was focused on the classic Casio 5610 but eventually the Casioak won me over with its design and looks. Just ordered the GAB2100MF-1A with solar and bluetooth -- will float my review in a few weeks or so.

Casioak dial surface space is a little bit to too large for my preference. But, I otherwise like it. The squares are my G-shock preference in terms of function, design, and size.

5600 every time!

I’ve both. Due to its a sort of executive looks, I can wear CasiOak as a ‘dress watch’ to meetings while I can’t wear a Square for the same. On the other hand, for outdoor activities/events, I find the square more suitable.

My first G-Shock was a 1998 DW-9350 Raysman. The watch module is brilliant, working perfectly after 26 years. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of its resin bezel and strap. They crumbled away after 4 years and Casio never provided spares. I now have a collection of G-Shock squares including a number of GMW-B5000 stainless steels, a GW-5000U-1JF and my everyday cheapy, the G-5600UE. The GW-5000U-1JF is my favorite as it looks like the closest thing to the original DW-5000C with its resin bezel, strap and stainless-steel inner core. It's made for the JDM and Euro markets. There's no need for me to use anything else, other than G-Shock digitals.

Picked one up and this is my daily watch. Fantastic piece!

😅my paganni Paul Newman gives me the exact same vibe!

I rarely take my 5600 off, But when I do... It's usually for another Casio.

I believe it was the year 1987 when the 5600 line was first introduced, not 91. There is the classic 91W watch, but this one was from 87 I’m pretty sure. You can tell the difference between the old ones and the new ones from the bottom right of the screen. There will usually be a symbol of some sort like yours has. The old 91 has a U under there and I don’t know what your symbol is, but I can tell yours is legit. Edit: Yup! 1983 they had an epic commercial where hockey players allegedly hit it with the hockey stick. (I highly highly doubt that they really did hit it with the hockey stick lol. I’m really terrible at hockey and I bet I could break the crap out of it) 😂

My question would be how often you have to change the battery on a Germin vs a Gshock.

Have you change the battery?

White hands send clearly the time to the brain instantly. 😝😜🤪 2100

Question: did both the top and bottom pushers feel the same to you? Did they both have that same "click?" Hope I didn't get swindled on eBay. My top pusher is very mushy and the bottom pusher is super tactile and clicky. Should I either report it to eBay, contact seiko, or is this something my local watch repair dude can fix right up? Thanks. Great review.

I've had a lot of Casio watch including telememo 100 etc and last watch was smartwatch and I hated it the most due to charging it and finally it broke yay! What a relief and looking for non charging watch I came across G-Shock 5600ue 1dr solar charging got it immediately enjoying it for last couple of weeks no charging cable 😂 don't know how long internal battery would last on normal usage

I have the DW 5600. My battery lasted 30+ years. I got it way back in 91 and the battery died in 2023. How ever I was cleaning the bezel and band. The bezel just broke apart. So where do I get a exact fit bezel?

you "dumb" watches thinking smart watches makes conventional watches go obsolete.

Love the customized strap on the dw5600

I love this watch. I got one last week and love looking down at my wrist. It might be my favorite watch in my collection. If SEIKO does an update, just remove the date window. Its way too small. The bracelet is also poor but acceptable if that makes any sense.

Great video man. As a seventeen year old kiwi infantryman I went down and got the flash modern G-SHOCK circa 2012 military insert all that rubbish here. Did me well, for a few years. Two weeks into a deployment to Iraq and the heat fried the fucking bastard... Not even fourteen days for a 650 NZD watch. SO jumped on amazon... the DW-5600E was the only one I could get. I was hesitant. I am on my second " post army " DW-5600e, its pristine even after half a decade of welding. A fine watch for something that works..... always. Admittedly it was used for purpose... but that dim green back light ? Brilliant.

I have this watch in 42 mm, is hard to explain how beautiful and precise it is. You will be looking at it the whole day.

GA2100 can be both casual and beater watch. I think gab2100 will be a better watch for me because I don't bet up my watch that much

Can you redo the video with a American accent?

Spot on review. It’s all about whether you prefer form or function. I love the looks of the Casioak, but I also love the functionality and value of the Square.

Nothing wrong with a homage watch at all

Only square

Personally bought the solar powered version of casio G-Shock DW 5600 watch... Utterly disappointed with brand Casio G-Shock! Just after 3 or 4 months of normal usage ( No swimming, No Diving, No Extreme water Sports, No Surfing) it developed fog and water vapour inside the glass disrupting the time view. I went to the Casio Service centre but the service center people bluntly told me that there was no option for replacement. They also shamelessly told me that their watches are water resistant and not water proof. They said they never claim that their watches are water proof in their advertising also. They simply changed some parts and dried the fog or water vapour inside AND after a few months the fog and water vapour inside the glass RETURNED. What a Waste. 👎 Had it been the case of putting the watch under extreme conditions , it is understandable, but the refusal to replace the watch under normal conditions seemed callous and unprofessional on part of Casio. Utterly disappointed by such a big brand LIKE CASIO AND G-SHOCK with big & HOLLOW claims! 😒

Fake and misleading advertising. Lies. Reality is that I bought Casio G-Shock G5600 E solar powered. Too Bad. But it is really bad at water resistance. After purchasing Within 3 or 4 months of normal usage NO EXTREME SPORTS, NO SWIMMING, NO DIVING, it had fog and water vapour inside obstructing the time view. Too bad. It did not have any good quality water proofing mechanism. It's having water droplets again inside the glass even after repair from Casio service center. The service center person shamelessly told me that the casio G-Shock watches are water resistant and not water proof. My Foot. Really Disappointed with Casio G-Shock. Pathetic quality.

Casio watches simply better, period. Way cheaper, so many cool models, no charging every night, tough. Also, are not obsolete after 5 years like smart watches when you can no longer update because processor on smart watch is too old and too slow.

Military aint wearing a Garmin into extreme conditions buddy,they wear a damn g-shock for a very good reason! because that garmin will crap out while the g-ahock hasnt even broken a sweat

Looks better than the daytona by far.

Contemplating this watch but man the purple on the smaller dials is annoying. I understand those are for function but 😢

Just picked one of these up. Only 690 AUD. Can’t go wrong with that! Looks the Mickey Mouse. Edit: The fact that you say it feels better on the wrist than the Black Bay bracelet says a lot! I owned the Black Bay Blue with the original ETA and absolutely loved that thing. Unfortunately life found a way to root me so I had to sell it lol. Spewing TBH, but it’s just a watch is what I tell myself. This video helped me pick this watch over a Seiko SRPJ93K. Totally different watches, but I was stuck on the two of them until I watched this. I always gravitate to Automatic movements, but this time I thought I’ll give their Solar a go, as I do like the look of it better. Great review! Really appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Cheers mate.

which one to buy DW-5600 tough solar or GA- B2100 tough solar

$695 on line

I just picked up my first 2100. I think it is a little more stylish with the analog hands and the round face. With that said I also love the 5600. Both are great watches.

When the GA 2100s first came out I thought they looked cool but looked goofy with the tiny digital display which looked too small and some of them I'm certain colours like the grey looked dull, but as time went by they grew on me and I ended up wanting one and I eventually got the red negative display one on boxing day last year!.

I have both of these in my collection and I love them both. The 5600 Square is a great daily beater with an easy to read display with a classic G-Shock square look and the Casioak is a fun fashionable piece, the digital display, especially on the negative display variants like the red one I have can be hard to read, but in normal daylight it's much better. Casioaks are more form and funky fashion than function than the 5600 square imo, but overall the Casioaks have grown on me hence why I got my cool looking beach summer watch Casioak!.

Both are stunning and homages of the 2 iconic watches yet with their own characteristics.
