Customer Reviews

Excellent G-shock
Having owned quite a lot of G-Shock watches over the years, this is one of the better models. It outwardly looks quite plain and is less chunky and sleeker than many G-Shock models. It's appearance is deceptive because internally this is a very tough and sophisticated watch. It has all the usual G-Shock features but as well as that it has radio time-sync with atomic clocks (which works exactly as described) and is solar powered. The LCD display is also an improvement on some recent G-Shock watches as sometimes the numerals can go quite opaqued when your wrist is turned at certain angles - this watch doesn't have that problem.

It hides its sophistication in a tough but simple exterior which I think is to its credit; some G-Shock watches are true monsters that are not attractive, don't fit under shirt-cuffs as they're too thick and can (to my eyes) look like children's watches. This watches dispenses with all that, it stays slim and refined and doesn't have the overly fussy display that are common to some G-Shock models.

This is a top quality, G-Shock watch that does not deserve to be called "retro" because it's actually very modern with a sleek, refined appearance. Highly recommended to anyone needing a resilient, tough watch where highly accurate time is important to you - an excellent design and well executed features.

all boxes ticked
First Casio to meet all my requirements in a watch - LCD, radio control, solar powered. A simple classic display. The radio works better than described in the manual, where you're supposed to place the watch upright in a window overnight for best reception. I just put it down anywhere and it's synced successfully between 0202 and 0204 every night. (I live in west midlands). The face is glass instead of plastic, the back is a nicely engraved piece of steel and the strap is substantial. Recommended.

WELL IMPRESSED !
I own quite a lot of diffferent watches but i have to say this is prety much perfect. This model celebrates 25yrs of G-shocks since inception from 1983 and the GW-M5600-1ER keeps its original retro styling in this model but is crambed with the latest technology.
The first thing you notice is the watch is not large and bulky like some G-shock models but wears light and comfy on the wrist.The display is easy to read { unlike the DW-5600B-1AVER model which has the negative display and difficult to read in low light } This watch has a great feature of having the EL light automatically illuminating the face when turned 40 deg -so not having to press buttons in low light conditions-neat!
The atomic time keeping in CAN, USA, LON, EUR, JAPAN means the watch syncs with these atomic station, so acurate time to within 1 sec in 1,000,OOO yrs and no dates to set, it automatically adjusts for British Summer time. Solar power means no replacement batteries.
Its great that this digital watch has a water resistant rating for 200m and can take a beating -so ideal for my mountain biking/ swimming activities. It has 5 alarms, including 5 min snooze repeat, hourly time beep, countdown timer for my eggs and a stop watch with 1/100 sec timing for my running. Too many other functions including world time for 29 ciites..To be honest i think Casio have a winner here..its a watch you wear to work, sport & play....also retro is in !! get one..you wont be dissapointed. Look out for my video review, if i get enough requests here.
