Thanks for watching!
Nope. All we want is a gshock square with the MIP display. That’s it. We don’t care one bit about a below average fitness tracker stuffed in our beloved square.
TRUE. Just a standard watch with this display and if it's solar, it's unbeatable. 😂
So much this…..
I was just about to say the exact same thing - almost word for word. I don't want all the fitness functions. I like my Casio's because the functions I want are quick & easy to use & the battery lasts for several years.
So long as it can dispense an aspirin and light a smoke when need it....I'm good
After wearing some trackers,i considered it as an illusion. Most of them not accurate not even medical device. Instead of taking habit looking at wrist all the time during running,i preferred standard G shock and smiles at everyone who passing by.. 😊
great color, great display. thats it.
introduce this color and this display onto the regular DW squares and it'll sell like nuts.
It is almost the g shock we've been waiting for. We want a square with the MIP display without the fitness stuff.
And a slightly textured light button
I like the g shock that had square with mip display with heart rates
Could knock off $100 without that extra crap we don't use
Look up GBD-200
@@spitfire7914 I have one. I wish it had solar and multiband 6 though.
Casio, if you are listening just make these two models:
1. Affordable: A 5600 with MIPS display
2. Mid price (or higher price for a mostly resin watch depending on your point of view): A GW-5000u with combi bracelet and MIPS display.
No new, non-timekeeping features required so no need to upgrade existing modules (except for the MIPS display obviously). Done. You’re welcome. :-)
For a massive 5600 fan I find this just disappointing, all those bulky sensors and useless features make this a total NO from me.
ALL we wanted was a Solar, multiband 5600 with a MIP display, instead they gave us an uncomfortable bulky watch with a USELESS stopwatch and features very few want OR need.
Completely agree
100%. Man, they have to KNOW this…at least I hope they do. I hope what you’ve described is coming down the line; it’s going to sell so well.
My man took the words right out of my brain.
I agree. All I wanted was a 5600 with the MIP display (and maybe Bluetooth for time sync when atomic clocks are out of range).
I've already got a Garmin Fenix that does all of the fitness stuff much better.
Exactly. This one is actually a smart watch, with a freaking charging port. Yuck!
Yeah, I'll say it again - G Shock isn't ready to take on the fitness watch "Big Boys" at Garmin, etc. The G Shock product just doesn't measure up to those brands. What G Shock does well it does better than anyone else - the most durable, reliable watches on the market, bar none, at a price that makes them easily the best value for a watch. But their fitness watches are lacking. If you are in the market for a fitness watch, the G Shock is an inferior product.
The GWM 5610 retails around $110 US. Give it a MIP display with all the same features, and charge $140-175 for it, and you have a winner.
My Garmin instinct 2s' sleep tracking is disappointing. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
Open-box Garmin Forerunner 245 is $150. It has a color MIP with customizable watchfaces.
They have to move in this direction to branch out and move forward. Can't stay in that lane forever
@I don't think anyone says Casio can't make this watch, but rather there's a substantial demand unaddressed by Casio in not having made the other watch yet.
Really like this one. Turned all the Fitness stuff off. Only using Bluetooth for sync to phone and receiving messages. Great watch.
I'm taking the opposite stance, I love this -- I'm keen to have a stealth health watch option. I've no doubt a simpler MIP 5600 timepiece is coming minus the health specs, but count me impressed, and that blue-grey is very nice.
Like many other commentators, will wait for the time only version. Love the MiP display and square design, however I have no need or want for the health/smart doodads. Plus the GBD200 and the GLide put pressure on this because of their design. You picked the best looking of the bunch btw :)
How much do you think a time only version will cost? When do you guess it will be released?
i really doubt this will happen any time soon. They might offer it only on their metal and ultra high end models.
Think about it, it would make almost all of the previous G-Shocks obsolete....
Plus, you can turn off all of the smart features no problem.
@@lukazz434obsolescence is not at all the issue, LCD is already antiquated and still a solid selling point for people who like digital watches.
They offer the same MIP screen in a few sub$200 gshock models already anyway.
Jus saw this watch at a local G shock outlet & i like this particular model too. Its probably the most beautiful 5600 since 80s. The MIP display is indeed superb.
I have enjoyed wearing one for a couple of months now, its comfortable, including at night and the sensors are not that bad at all. Only gripe is the app is a bit lacking, the polar reporting is good, but I wish you could start an exercise from the app rather than just via the watch interface. Overall, if you are in the market for something a little different at a really good price point I couldn't recommend it enough.
I hope they make a basic version without all the extras, but keep the new screen.
I think tracking steps, heart rate and O2 level with solar charging is a sweet spot.
A G-Shock is probably too big to sleep with for most, so it would be best to leaving the sleep monitoring to something less bulky.
The real sports tracker fanatics will probably not be swayed away from Suunto. But for everyone else a basic tracker that can take a beating and doesn't need to be recharged every couple of days looks like a winner.
While I love my MIP G-Shock, much of the text is getting too small for those of us who are affected by its nostalgia factor. So it would be great if they included a mode where the Steps, Heart rate, etc. was displayed as large as the time.
Not a bad first try. They'll have some catching up to do if they want to copy Garmin Fenix line. I looked at this watch but decided on a Fenix 5. Love G-Shock as I had their first 1983 watch.
It’s so much better!! I love it
I am very happy with this release and find it to be (at this point) the square I've indeed been waiting for.
My first G-Shock was the 5600, which I liked a lot but wasn't my favorite. After some years I "upgraded" to the 6600, which still is my favorite G-Shock of all time - I like them simple.
As time passed, I became more interested in watches and went through a few models from a few different brands. But that phase passed and I came back to my trusty 6600, which I rarely get off my wrist for a different watch, depending on the occasion.
With the birth of fitness bands and watches, I found the functionalities useful - more as a motivational factor, as I'm getting older and movement became more and more important in my day to day life - but didn't really want to switch my 6600 for a smart watch and also found it a bit odd to wear a watch on one wrist and a fitness band on the other.
So, for me, this is really great news. I loved the idea when the GBD200 was released, but didn't love the design.
But I like the 5600 a lot, so I will definitely get the H5600 and really hope that one day (although I don't really think it will happen, since it hasn't had the same success as the 6900) a H6600 will be released. Fingers crossed!
I have been collecting watches for over a decade now, and have JUST been bitten by the G-shock bug... I LUUUUUUUUV my GBX-100.. Im an outdoor guy, so u luv the tide/moon/sunrise/sunset feature.. Not to mention MIP! 🔥🔥
One more „Square lover“ here :D
Just bought one and I love your the Review!
I think I‘m in the sweetspot too :)
I‘m just curious why the Almanac shows a different sunset time then my iPhone weather app.
Fair review ultimately just depends what you are looking for. For those that just want the square with an MIP display I do totally get the frustration though
Excellent watch. I was unsure about purchasing one but after watching your video I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get one, and I love the color choice you chose.
Thanks a lot Todd & enjoy yours! 😁
I'm in the former camp, I'd like to see a basic mip display slimmer with standard features. Come on g shock!
I wish 1 of my gmw-b5000 had this display. It's honestly my favorite watch right now so I'd like to compare/contrast it to the current setup of these amazing watches.
I love casio g shock...this dw h5600 is a must have for me...all black is my style
My current daily is GW-B5600. Same features with MIP is the replacement I'm waiting for.
I clicked on this video because I love the look of this watch. Ideally I want a watch that has the same display and has both solar and atomic time keeping functions. Does such a watch exist ? And oh yes , great review !
After this review I am seriously considering it. I have a Fitbit but want more of a “watch”experience. Great review and something to think about
What are the notifications like? The gbd-200s are not good enough, you either have to pick every notification off your phone or none of them. Have they fixed that?
Would be cool to be an almost entirely g shock focused channel. I own a few, but I still feel like the world of g shocks is foreign to me. I’d like to buy more, especially because I’m a dock builder, I could really use certain feature rich pieces
I fear we won't be getting a pure tough solar G-Shock with MIP display anytime soon. It's like Casio, with this model, tries to accomodate those of us who's been screaming for a square with MIP, but had to add fitness features to justify the watch needs regular recharging. The display technology simply uses too much power to work on solar alone. At least that's what I take away from this, I really doubt Casio thought they could take on the big guys in the fitness market with the DW-H5600.
Nah they def were trying to appeal the market with a fitness one as it's been what most folks have demanded
It's already impressive on its own that it takes 10-11 months to complete die from 0 light or charge when my regular solar square(No Multiband 6) would've died at 7-8 months
But it's kinda silly that they could not incorporate Tough Solar into the damn thing(Might probably be too much depth that they were not gonna let the MIP sit under)
Also I do absolutely despise how much the sensors poke out, wish it wasn't so bulbous
@@tydshiin5783 I doubt that. Casio already knows what features a fitness watch needs, they even have several models that demonstrates that. The tiny, recessed buttons of the square models definitely isn't one of those features. Neither is an intricate menu system to select functions. And as you mention yourself, the lack of ergonomics with the bulbous sensor. If this is meant to be a fitness model, someone clearly has failed. The only thing I've heard 5600 fans demand of the perfect square, including myself, is the MIP display and tough solar, and so far every model Casio has launched with that needs recharging or has a 2-year battery lifespan.
Okay, the case color is nice. Now give us the MIP display in the classic, non-inflated 5600 format with time only, thanks.
Cant do the firmware update on the watch. It just says it failed. Apparantly many seems to have this exact issue.
Easily the nicest explanation watch channel out there & i was surprised to see less than 20k subs. Anyways I subscribed. Lovely b roll (great how close to the watch it is) & ofc you do epic job at reviewing. 👏
Man thank you so much! 🤝 legend!
This is a beauty. Wow
Hello!
Are there any function differences between GBD-H2000 and DW-H5600?
Thank you
This thing is just an amazing combo of fitness tracking, great always on display and amazing g-shock... and at least for me the app seems to be doing all I'm interested in: tracking my pulse in activities or over the day... super tempted to give it a try.
This is exactly the type of watch I've been looking for. It's kinda surprising this is the only kind they made since most people don't wouldn't want most of these features tho
Yup, we just want a mip square without all the complications.
Went to go but this last week.
Saw it in person, didn’t get it. Doesn’t feel like a $300 watch.
Don't want fitness tracker.. Just want normal DW with mip display!!!
Does this come in an all black version solar powered version?
Great clear video. I like the way you explain all your watches in detail.
Thanks
Hi, does the running tracker works without the phone connected to the watch? does it have the GPS? thanks!
I think I might be one of this watch’s target audience. Love the square design and mip display, enjoy exercising but not too crazy about it. Knowing a rough figure of my step counts and heart rate is good enough. My life is not getting any healthier because of fitness features on my watch.
The only thing I concern about is the comfort. Unfortunately even after trying one out at a local store, I still can’t tell if it would become a problem cause you really have to wear it for a full day to see how it goes.
That said I am probably getting one to “complete” my personal G-Shock collection. Got the 5610u, a Rangeman, a GA-B2100, a GST-B400, and now this one, I feel like I’ve got a G-shock for all occasions more or less.
Where did you get yours from??? Not yet available in the UK is it??
An Octagon would be 8 sides of equal length. I think that's why it's still referred to as a square. The sides are not equal so it's more of a square with the corners trimmed down.
Picked one of these up in Tokyo last week in the same blue gray. Love the look and feel of it. The app needs some work but if they update it to allow integration into Apple/Google that will fix most of my gripes. For the price I got it for, I love it even without taking into consideration all of the fitness features
I assume, Casio Watches app doesn't sync with Apple Health app then?
@@marckgoran No it doesn't
@@mbair I was afraid that being the case. Very unfortunate. Hopefully plans exist to bring the Casio Watches app “up to date” as this integration, and simplify also for the Android, is kinda essential feature for any smartwatch.
@@mbair a long shot but a sync with Polar Flow app is probably also not possible?
@@mbair so what did you get the watch for?
I was really keen to get the dark blue with metal bezel but its not available in the UK apparently ( why not 🤷🏻♂️) so ended up getting the 200 model in blue. Half the price and MIP display with a few goodies like step count 👍
Seems to be the case in multiple countries where certain models within this series haven't released 🤔 Nice work though! Congrats & thanks for watching!
You didn't really show or explain any of the functions. I might check out the London Zoo though when I'm in the area.
Can you confirm that the size is exactly the same as the dw-5600/5610 (apart from the thickness)?
Is this module the same as in the GBX-100? Same brightness etc or is the H5600 a slight upgrade?
I love gshocks. Do you know of a model thats is a basic watch but sends notifications from my phone? Kindve like subtle notifications that withings but style of gshock
I would love this without less sports funcionality and thus with less thickness. MIP screen looks great and the solar power with smart features is a great combo.
Yup, I want one
Strip out all the smart stuff and cost associated. I want a 5610 with a mip. No steps. No heart rate. No notifications. Just the exact features on a 5610.
As other have said: I want exactly this design but with standard features and flat backside. Why is the MIP not standard???
Casio, please just give us an regular square with MIP display and solar power. That is
Agree!!! 👍
How the bike tracking works? It works for outdoor biking or only indoors?
Does anyone know if you can set the date to read normal .. ie not American so it shows date/month not month/date ?? Thanks
I don't know why many people are crying in the comments about "health features".
If you don't like using these features then don't use them, it's that simple.
But options are good for everyone who want them.
can it pause/next audio on our smarthphone ?
I've grown to love casio squares
do the fitness functions like heart rate and blood oxygen level tracking work if you wear the watch face on the inside wrist instead of outside? I like to wear it like that sometimes
I bloody love it! The GW-5000 is my all time favourite, but this version looks so good. Want!
I have a Garmin Instinct Solar, which offers many workout routines, including several for various forms of bicycling. Does the DW H5600 offer any workout routine for cyclists?
Would buy one when it’s just a plain watch. Maybe just Solar & Atomic Time.
Hi. Is the mip display better then the (pozitive) display of the gmw5000? Ive got the full metal 2 weeks ago. Also, mip is also pozitive, or only negative? Thank you.
Ps: fitness function is such a waste of battery and space!
Thanks for not replying...
I bought this watch after owning the GW-B5600.
Took it back. I still use my previous one which I bought for 200 euros at an airport. It is solar-powered. It is also a Bluetooth version and it comes with a metal strap adjusted perfectly to fit my small wrist.
Believe me, you don't need anything else. This upgrade is a gimmick to corner the market.
You need to charge the battery, you say..?
Forget that!
Neve had an issue with my version.
And it comes in black!
Saw this one today in local store, was searching for something thinner than my GWF-1000. I was stunned by this display. I knew it's good and legible, but after seeing it with my own eyes I am jealous AF now.
Man, it's just another dimension, viewing angles and legibility are ridiculous. Holy cow, holy bull, amazing readability, superior contrast, wow.
But, surprisingly, this thing is almost as thick as my Frog. Thanks to that sensor, it's 17.5mm THICC. That's a lot for a square one.
Soft rubber band is also very comfortable. Feels pretty nice, but it's just way too thick. Also not sure if all those fitness features are really needed, cycling through menu took longer than I anticipated.
Overall, kinda controversial watch. Really nice display, but it's thick on your wrist and costs more than your average beater, for such price there are watches like GW-5000(U) or GWM-5000 that have screwbacks and are just way more reliable and 'g-shocky' than this one. But this display is like future is here.
Something like GW-5000(U) with such MIP display would be THE top seller and one of the best G, that's for sure. They really need to make more models with that fancy display. I would love my GWF-1000 to have such readability. But it feels like Casio just doesn't want us to have the perfect G, because if you just buy perfect one, you won't buy others, right? Feels_sad_man.
P.S. did I tell that this display is just beyond cool? Damn.
I'll be sticking with the GBD 200 for now. For me the sensors that jam into the wrist is a deal breaker. And also that the extra features are only usable if you constantly charge it which is a pain - and the watch will only last a few years because the battery can't be replaced. But I would totally spend 300ish for sleep tracking if it was comfortable and had a replaceable battery that didn't need charging (like the GBD 200 but with sleep tracking). There are watches on the market that will do 6-12 months with sleep tracking on a button battery - so it is possible - but they are lower quality than Casio and don't have timers etc. So I might end up getting a bedside device for sleep tracking instead. But I've not found one that fits my needs yet. And the Android apps that I tried have been pretty poor.
Same, the GBD200 is 10000x more beautiful.
Instead of tightening up and making the square a little smaller Casio decides to make it even bigger! And then proceeds to add a load of functions few are interested.
Keep the MIP, reduce the size substantially, give us back PROPER battery life by eliminating all those non-watch functions.
If MIP won't allow proper battery develop e-ink displays or something.
A GM-S5600 with MIP or similar would be great, small but legible.
So ‘solar assisted’ doesn’t mean that it can remain charged exclusively via solar / light?
It leaves a wonderful puppy paw mark on the wrist, plus, it's f***ing thick. The Casio GBD200 comes with some of his functions, the mip display, a better blue color and a better shape. For a lower price. And you can use apps like GadgetBridge instead of the crappy Casio app to connect it to the phone.
Really, this one is a cheeseburger on a strap sitting on the wrist!
I have one and I'm quite happy with it but I didn't buy it as a fitness tracker. No issues with monitor buldge on the back. I thought I would hate that bump but can't really feel it.
I find that the additional height affords it more wrist presence, and that was the clincher for me. Frustrating little thing but glad I got one.
How accurate is the sleep tracker? I suspect that I have sleep apnea and want a watch with a REALLY accurate sleep tracking feature. Also, what battery life could be expected if all other fitness/health features are disabled? Could it entirely rely on its solar cell? I want a watch that is self sustaining, that I can just slap on my wrist and know that it will "take care of itself", but I also need a (reliable) sleep tracker, and I think this G-shock is as close to my needs as possible, but I'm not sure how reliable it is
Hello, I have a DW-H5600 and I cannot synchronize with the application, could you please help me, I am from Spain
I have the GBD-H2000. I love it so much, I’m somewhere between like you are when it comes to these. I’m not a fitness fanatic but like the odd feature for walking and riding. I love G-Shock and wanted this 5600 so bad when I saw it announced but that sensor on the back looks like it may be a bit uncomfortable especially in the summer. I think for now I’ll stick with the H2000 which has all of the features the 5600 has and many more plus is surprisingly super comfortable. Cool video man, cheers.
Love this! You're right, the GBD-H2000 is awesome! Congrats on yours & thanks a lot for the kind words! :)
Wish they could update software in GBD200... atleast making the notification and menu better. Still a good Watch
Square with mips, multiband 6 and tough solar and bluetooth.
100% 🫡 thanks for watching!
Just give us a simple updated GW-M5610, with the DW-H5600 MIP screen, drop the extra bulk and silly functions!!
I have the GBD200 that has the MIP display and doesn’t have the irritation on the wrist from the heart rate sensor. I had the GBDH1000 and that model was way too BIG for me!
You can try gsw h1000, more better.
I'm on a Garmin Instinct 2 solar, have you tried it?
looks nice but it doesnt has radio controled time set. if they made this watch with that feature, that would be great with that look.
Casio!!! Just a 5600 with a MIP display please.
Exactly
I just picked one of these up at the G Shock London store for £183 (vs. original list price of £269). At this price, it is a bona fide bargain. Great looking watch, the display is incredibly sharp (better than the GBX or GBD models), you can turn off all the fitness functions so it behaves like a "normal" G Shock and it will last 11 months between charges...but if you do want to measure heart rate, VO2 max or your see how you performed in your Parkrun...you can. So if you can snag one of these at a discount, you can get the watch you want "without all the fitness stuff", you just have to switch those functions off.
I also recently bought the GCW B5000, and if they had put a MIP display into that watch, it would have been beyond perfect (it is kinda perfect as is, even with the legacy module).
Love that! Congratulations on your pick ups & thank you for watching!
Hi thx for the review , don you know if this model has hourly time (sound each hour) thanks
There is not a hourly signal on this watch
The price in my country is 1.5k++ .. maybe in another country is a couple hundred
I want a metal g square with mib display and solar . Not even blue tooth in that.
i like that blue/gray color too
wondering if its too big for a woman's wrist, i hope its not
Bardzo ładny. Jutro powinien do mnie przyjechać czarny.
Has it got an interval counter?
It’s a beautiful watch, I love the features it’s perfect for what I want but not for $300.😢
I got one but I turned off the heart rate, blood oxygen and left it in airplane mode. I just want a gshock with an awesome display
Thanks for the video. Can you sync to Apple Health?
Hey, thank YOU for watching! :) this can only sync with the Casio Watches app, nothing else!
@@TimeDrops_ oh what a shame that the Casio app can’t sync to Apple Health. Thanks for the quick response.
The color of the watch in the thumbnail is shockingly different from that of in the video.
Is it intentional?
where did you get it for 269???
Can this gps record runs and upload them to Strava?
So I wonder why they have the “Solar Powered” functionality, which is really just a power assist. It’s not the same as “Tough Solar” which fully powers the watch. So you still have to attach it to an external charger, which stinks.
All of London is a zoo these days, but I digress.... Nice watch! Love G Shock square.
😬😅 - thanks a lot for watching!
So true. Should leave it to the real animals..! Zoo..? Silly idea. Prison, more like.
For those that think the features are useless, I'd argue that the features are quite addictive. I found I was wearing my Garmin Fenix as a daily watch because I loved tracking my sleep, heart rate, my movements on a map, etc. This new G-shock will appeal to data nerds and you won't know if that's you till you try it.
It’s a smart watch without being a smart watch😍
Hi there, thanks for your very informative videos, I’m looking to get a g shock to cover my fitness, I want something simple and only really care about, heart rate monitor, steps and a tracker, can you recommend a model please ? and thanks I’m advance, neil
