G-ShockCasio Men's G-Shock DW5600E-1V Black Resin Quartz Watch

This watch is comfortable, light, tough and has all the features most of us are likely to use. The back light is excellent, I really like the way it looks on wrist and unlike many digital watches it shows the time when using the timer and stopwatch functions. It has one flaw, the adjust button is recessed and I found it impossible to press with any of my fingers. If you have a set of small screw drivers it is a simple task to replace this pusher with the Casio part for the 2, 4 and 8 position pushers which are slightly longer. I did this, it cost £5.38 and has transformed the watch. There are videos online showing how to do it.

The classic beater watch, just put it on and don't worry no matter what you're doing. As G-Shocks go it's fairly basic but more than adequate for your daily needs, includes Time, Day/Date, Stopwatch, Count down timer, Backlight, 200m water resistance, Shock proof . Over 25 G-shocks in my collection and I didn't have this one ??? So purchased from Amazon US for under £50 including Duties and P+P. Watch arrived in 8 days via Royal Mail tracked, but as with my previous purchases form Amazon US the packaging does leave a lot to be desired as many have said before ! Strap can be a little stiff at 1st but will wear in, also the adjust button can be difficult to operate as it's recessed, it is designed that way to prevent accidental operation and perfectly normal (you don't have a faulty watch). Battery should last 3-4 years, backlight/alarm usage dependent, but you can easily replace it yourself (Batt is a CR2016) there are plenty of U-tube video's showing you how. Straps are prone to breaking over time, but replacements are readily available. Hope this helps !

I've wanted to pick up one of these for a few years, partly to have an inexpensive 'beater' watch for practical reasons and, if I'm honest, mostly as an 80's, kid wanting scratch that retro itch. I'm really happy with it, the quality and finish are much better than the images show, or that I remember from the old days. It's very light and the stock resin strap is very comfortable. I'd assume it would look super chunky but it actually wears very well on my pretty skinny wrist. Would recommend. On a minor point; I received a model with 'Illuminator' text rather than 'Fox Fire' (as in the product images) with the latter being a Japanese Domestic Market version (I believe), so if you specifically want the JDM version just be aware that you may not get that.

The best g shock, so easy to use and built to last, can't go wrong with this

I ordered this Casio Men's G-Shock DW5600E-1V watch because I have previously owned a similar G-Shock model and loved it.I prefer this design to many other G-Shock models because it is a little more subdued in appearance, and smaller than most others too, while still giving all the usual G-Shock benefits: strong build quality, excellent case protection, alarm, stop watch, back light etc.This purchase is intended as a gift, and I am confident the recipient will enjoy it as much as I have with my own model.However, because it is a gift, I was a little disappointed with the box it came in.I knew at that price it would't come in the tin presentation box that most G-Shocks come in. However, the cardboard box it did come in was small and flimsy, and, more importantly it didn't come in the one pictured in the original sales post.The pictured box was also cardboard, but more substantial, and came in three pieces, not just the one piece that I received…Apart from this, I am pleased with my purchase. It came in at a very reasonable price, and was delivered promptly within three days.

Well what a great beater watch, and brilliant value for money, and so comfortable on the wrist and so stylish.I just wish i got a G-Shock a few years back, as i love the great outdoors, but you know what "i just didn't get it, as i was saying to myself well what is all the fuss about as i loved a divers style watch".I still can't believe what ive getting for the my money, they have give this watch away.

In the times of smart watches and ultra expensive G-Shock watches. Everything you need in a solid G-Shock is contained in the ultimate basic watch.Everyone carries a phone so why complicate your time piece? Keep it simple, use a watch for what it's intended for. Keeping track of time. This time piece is incredibly simple yet indestructible. If you want the ultimate basic watch then look no further.

If you want a gshock that just does the basics well then this fits the bill. I don't need all the fancy features that some of the more expensive gshocks provide. I just want a tough watch that can stand and take the knocks, provide good waterproofing and tells me the time without any fuss. This watch is perfect for that. Comfortable to wear too. Well worth the money
