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

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 ! EDIT 1 Nearly 2 years on from original purchase and the watch is still going strong. Still on original battery and no signs of it fading yet. Over 60 G Shocks in my collection now and I still wear this watch on a regular basis.

Really brilliant watch. Even I've not managed to break it.

This is a brilliant tough workhorse of a watch with a retro style. I received the newer DW5600UE version with the LED backlight not the older 5600E with the EL yellowish light. The UE version is usually £20-30 more. Very pleased.

Two years of daily wear. Work, Holidays, gardening, DIY you name it. It looks & works exactly as it did the day I got it. Hands down the best watch I’ve ever had. Fantastic value for money, does what it says on the tin. Understated, iconic original G Shock watch that will last years & years. What’s not to love?

Excellent, just excellent service, extremely quick delivery from US to IK with no issues. Excellent watch at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

Great quality watch

Excelente reloj, para lo que es, funciones las necesarias que ocupas en un rerol, super resistente, para no preocuparte de los golpes y mucho menos de la pila

È il g-shock per antonomasia, tutti gli altri sono arrivati dopo. Il numero 1 è lui. La sua robustezza è leggendaria, l' affidabilità non è mai stata messa in discussione. Qui non ci sono funzioni inutili, questo è l'erede diretto del dw-5000, il capostipite di tutti i g-shock; vale il principio "back to basics" con un rapporto qualità/prezzo difficilmente eguagliabile. È protagonista indiscusso nei forum internazionali; è apprezzatissimo in ambito militare dove insieme ai cugini dw 6900 e dw 9052 si divide i favori dei reparti di elite di tutto il mondo. Non mancano neanche apparizioni in alcune missioni spaziali. Vanta un numero impressionante di comparsate cinematografiche, difficile fare un elenco di quante siano... in rete ci sono svariati siti che provano a fare una sorta di censimento. È da sempre al polso di chi pratica sport estremi e di chi ha bisogno di affidabilità e robustezza senza compromessi. Ci sono tanti g-shock ma quando il gioco si fa duro è sempre lui la prima scelta, inutile negarlo. In un noto forum internazionale, qualche anno fa, insieme al Mudman è stato votato come l' orologio migliore del mondo (vinse il Mudman G-9000, il DW-5600 arrivò secondo con uno scarto ridottissimo. Primo e secondo, un risultato strepitoso per Casio). Preciso e versatile, con dimensioni contenute lo consiglio a tutti. Non male anche al polso di una ragazza sportiva. Un breve aggiornamento dopo 2 anni e mezzo; l' orologio ha fatto di tutto senza problemi di sorta. Non è mancato niente: mtb, alpinismo, snorkeling, viaggi e ovviamente mi accompagna nella vita di tutti i giorni. Una scelta quasi obbligata per chi bada al sodo.

I recently got the Casio G-Shock and I’m really impressed! It feels super tough and well-built — exactly what you expect from a G-Shock. The design is classic and stylish enough to wear every day, but also rugged enough for outdoor activities and sports. The timekeeping is accurate, the display is easy to read, and I love that it’s shock-resistant and durable. Overall, it’s a reliable watch that’s worth the price and has become my go-to for daily wear. Definitely a great purchase!

Design original, robuste, très fonctionnelle (date, jour, alarme, chrono, éclairage bleu-vert, etc.), confortable et très légère. De plus, elle ne fait pas trop grosse même sur les petits poignets, contrairement à beaucoup de montres hommes, énormes. Très bonne qualité, avec son bracelet et boîtier résine, son fond vissé et son verre minéral anti-rayure (et pas en plastique!). Avec son look de char d'assaut elle semble indestructible et vous accompagnera dans les conditions les plus extrêmes (étanche à 200m, "schockprof", etc.). Et tout ça à prix d'ami. N'hésitez pas, faites-vous plaisir! :-)

This is an such a good watch for the money and I recommended to anyone who needs something reliable, simple and strong. I wanted a watch that I can go fishing and camping without having to worry about taking it off. It’s waterproof so I don’t have to take it off when I'm swimming into rivers to retrieve fishing lures and it’s tough so I don’t have to worry about breaking when it bashes into trees and logs. In terms of design it features a great simple watch face that isn’t cluttered. It displays the time, day and date which isn’t much but it’s exactly what I wanted. Others might want/need more on the face but this keeps it simple and easy to read. The backlight works perfectly for reading it at night. It's a classic design and I wear it everyday over my Samsung smartwatch, it is so light and comfortable you barely even notice you have it on. The only issue that I experienced and others have raised in their own reviews is the top left ‘a’ button. It is super difficult to press. From all the videos I have seen it is designed to be this way but that means that setting the timer and resetting the stopwatch are rather difficult. For me this isn’t a huge deal because I set the time and my alarm once and then I never really need to use the button again. If I was using the timer and stopwatch frequently I would look for something else but I mostly end up using my phone for those things anyway. With this said It's still 5 stars, it's great value for money and for me it’s perfect. I see this thing lasting me a lifetime as long as I don’t lose it.
