Anelectronic watch in a classic design for such devices, with enhanced protection of the case against shocks and water — and the water resistance reaches 200WMR, which makes this model suitable even for diving. The dial of the Casio DW-5600E-1VQ watch can display stopwatch, timer and calendar readings, there is also an alarm clock, and the data on the display will be visible in any light.
Casio G-Shock Men’s Watch DW-5600E Review. Hello, today I’m doing a G-Shock DW-5600E review. The G-Shock series of watches has always been a very popular choice for people looking for a robust timepiece that’s still impressively affordable. As with many G-Shock watches, you can expect 200m water resistance and a durable finish. This watch is also certified by NASA for space missions, that’s not something I get to say about many watches. Click on any image to head straight to the product page for prices and specifications Anyway, I’ll get on with my Casio DW-5600E review below and you can find out the price on Amazon today, enjoy. At the bottom of the article, I’ll show you some of my recommended places to buy this watch from My Initial Thoughts On This Watch I’ve always rather liked the G-Shock series, I feel the offer some pretty good value for money when you take everything into account. The G-Shock watches were built to withstand mechanical shock and vibration. This makes them an ideal sports or military style watch, perfect for those who love their outdoor activities. The watch is rather simple and reliable, there’s a luminescent backlight for easy reading at night, plus a useful stopwatch and alarm function. While it doesn’t look as oversized as some other G-Shock models, this may actually be something people prefer. As we often find on G-Shock watches the casing is made of stainless steel and wrapped in a defensive resin to offer better protection. If you were after something practical then the G-Shock DW-5600E seems to make a lot of sense to me. Movement The watch utilises a reliable quartz movement that has a 2 year battery life using a one battery system. Quartz movements are great as they remain accurate and reliable without the need for much in the way of service. Type of glass The DW-5600E uses a toughened mineral glass that’s ideal for this style of watch. Mineral glass offers a good level of scratch resistance and is ideal for shatter resistance. It’s fair to say sapphire glass would offer much better scratch resistance but it lacks the same shatter resistance that mineral glass has, and when you’re making a watch to withstand drops, then mineral is the clear choice to go for. Size I mentioned earlier on that this isn’t your typical oversized G-Shock watch, you’ll actually be able to fit this under the cuff of your shit easier, shocking right? The watch has a casing diameter of 42mm which brings it more in line with a standard men’s watch. The thickness of the case is 13mm which is just a little larger than average and avoids going totally overboard. Calendar There’s a handy day-date and month display available on this timepiece. The beauty of a digital watch is how easy it is to offer an automatic calendar feature. Whereas on traditional watches you’d often have to adjust the date for the varying amount of days in each month, this digital watch adjusts it for you automatically. Watch strap and clasp The watch strap is made of a synthetic resin that’s perfect for wrist straps due to its very durable and flexible properties. It fastens using a standard buckle system with a stainless steel clasp. The strap itself measures 28mm wide which makes it notably bigger than a normal strap, this adds to the watches reassuring durable feel. Water Resistance The water resistance rating is a brilliant 200m, or 20ATM. 100m water resistance makes it suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports and skin diving. Features Brand Casio G-Shock Model DW-5600E Dial Window Material Mineral Glass Clasp Type Standard buckle style clasp Case Material Stainless Steel with resin Case Diameter 42mm Case Thickness 13mm Band Material Synthetic resin Band Width 28mm Calendar Day /date /month display Movement Quartz Movement Water Resistance Rating 200m Conclusion So there we have it, an affordable digital watch that NASA has certified for us on its space missions, all things considered, that’s pretty impressive. If you were after a nice digital watch that was easy to use with handy features then this G-Shock watch may be perfect for you. I Hope you found this Casio G-Shock DW-5600E review useful and enjoyable, comment below and let me know what you think of it.

June 4, 2021 The Casio G-Shock DW5600 is a simple an inexpensive watch that has become a quintessential non-essential accessory for tech-minded folks with a frugal streak, such as yours truly. In its purist form, the G-Shock DW5600 is tough as nails, its utilitarian function leaving a drab aesthetic that some consider a true classic. Others may say it’s a “dad watch” due to its underwhelming nature and anachronistic likeness to the original G-Shock DW-5000C from 1983. For me, it’s really both. On the flip-side, Casio/G-Shock has a history of borrowing from Swatch’s playbook. In 1992 G-Shock introduced resin colorways. In 1994, G-Shock introduced its first collaboration by partnering the with International Cetacean Education and Research Center ICERC, which unites scientists, artists, healers, and mystics in a shared effort to help whales and dolphins and other cetaceans. This collaboration watch paved the way for later mash-ups with pop-culture brands such as BAPE, Burton Snowboards, Wu-Tang Clan, Keith Haring, Gorillaz, Bamford London, and, of course, NASA. Limited edition collaboration G-Shocks now proliferate so profusely that they’ve become the epitome of drop culture. A drop is a limited release of merchandise, often as a marketing technique deployed by streetwear fashion brands. Drop culture is the thinking, behavior, and community surrounding drops. I can’t think of a better example of drop culture in action than Casio dropping the limited edition NASA collaboration watches in 2020 and 2021. G-Shock serves so many audiences that it’s hard to sort through their never-ending barrage of press releases, but, as a space nerd, this one caught my eye. I bought a single DW5600NASA20 from the G-Shock website during the initial 2020 release and my personal narrative was more like, “I’m into space stuff, this looks cool, add to cart!” I got in early. The hype-meter hadn’t pinned its needle just yet, but these NASA G-Shocks quickly wound up in high demand on the secondary market at prices cresting well above retail.

Photo Greg Bedrosian Model DW5600NASA20Type Digital QuartzMSRP $130Release Year 2020Size x x mm Visually, the G-Shock DW5600NASA20 is ultraclean and sterile, thus depicting a familiar futuristic space travel aesthetic. It’s a lot of white, almost too much. You might feel like Derek Zoolander strutting on a runway while wearing it. Fashion and marketing aside, the DW5600NASA20 feels like a toy belonging to a kid playing astronaut compared to the Omega Speedmaster, iterated to the nth degree in celebration of 1969’s moon landing. Unless you’re actually in NASA, you’re just dressing the part either way. I’m guilty on all accounts, but I did have space shuttle tent for my bed as a kid. Does that somehow count me as a NASA guy? Culturally speaking, for sure. The packaging of the DW5600NASA20. Photo Greg Bedrosian This 2020 release is supposed to “honor decades of space exploration and groundbreaking discoveries” according to G-Shock. That’s very broad, even for watch marketing. The whole package marketing lingo included is a miss-mash of iconic space imagery. It was also interesting that NASA was able and willing to bend its policy for this co-branding effort, allowing G-Shock to feature the red NASA “worm” logo on a commercial product. The red NASA logo seemed to be everywhere in street fashion during 2020, which helped the watch’s popularity immensely. A section of Stage-IB from a Saturn V rocket during assembly. Image NASA Archives The packaging is a step up from your average G-Shock DW5600, as you would expect for a limited edition. The 2020 cardboard package features a picture of the Earth. The metal tin has the same pattern as the Saturn V rocket used by NASA from 1967-73 and made famous by the Apollo mission. It’s a clever choice because the cylindrical nature of the packing tin is suggestive of the staged modules that separate from the rocket during launch.

Photo Greg Bedrosian Model DW5600NASA21Type Digital QuartzMSRP $140Release Year 2021Size x x mm A year later, in 2021, G-Shock dropped another limited release co-branded with NASA. The DW5600NASA21 was designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Space Transportation System mission STS-1, commonly known as the “Space Shuttle.” The glaring aesthetic change is that the DW5600NASA21 has a black case, which mimics the Space Shuttle’s stark colorway. The black belly of the shuttle is actually made up of thousands of tiles that serve as a thermal protection system, or TPS. The essential role of these tiles is to prevent the incineration of the shuttle and its crew from the approximately 3,000°F temperatures achieved during atmospheric re-entry. These black thermal protective tiles have become part of the Space Shuttle aesthetic. Image NASA Unboxing the watch, you will notice that the resin strap is different from the first, all-white NASA G-Shock. The black shapes on the strap are styled after those same tiles that give the Space Shuttle is distinct lines. Continuing to comb through the packaging contents, you will notice that the 2021 design is entirely specific to the shuttle, not just NASA. The packaging for the DW5600NASA21. Photo Greg Bedrosian The outer cardboard box itself is meant to look like one of the closed-circuit television monitors for the payload handler giant boom-arm in the cargo bay. However – and here I’ll show you my space nerdery in high gear – there was no Remote Manipulator System or mechanical arm on the first shuttle mission. Oh well. The screen on the box lists facts about the STS-1 mission. The tin can inside that holds the watch also commemorates the first Space Shuttle launch on April 12th, 1981, as well as listing facts about the mission. Listing all those facts is cool, but it gets space nerds like me into fact checking. Space nerds love fact checking. As A Watch There is no shortage of colorways and limited edition versions of G-Shock DW5600s. In its most basic form, it’s a watch with roots in the 1980s. You get enough internal protection to use the watch as a hockey puck if so desired. The watch wears a little large as the resin strap is fans outward from the lugs rather than hanging most straps. This feature gives the perception of an integrated strap. However, after the resin strap breaks in, the seams between the case and strap will become more evident. Like most digital quartz watches, it is full of functions and features. The Casio 3229 digital movement has a two-year battery life and is good for +/- 15 seconds per month. That’s not particularly impressive for a quartz watch. It is operated by four buttons “A,B,C,D” and the menu system is so cumbersome that it’s borderline unusable. But thats’ ok, because the functions are close to worthless except for the stopwatch, which is easy enough to use. But are you really wearing one of these things out jogging? Not me. The buttons are also asymmetrical, and the “A” button in the top left of the DW5600 has a flush profile with the case that makes it nearly impossible to press. G-Shock’s customer support told me that, “too many customers were complaining about hitting that button by accident.” Casio’s solution is more annoying than helpful. One of the best features is the teal backlight that Casio calls “electroluminescent backlight afterglow.” Timex kind of wins the name game with “Indiglo.” G-Shock tends to reserve this style of backlight for special and limited editions, however. When the backlight is activated, images of space stuff appear behind behind the LCD. The 2020 version has the Moon, and the 2021 version features the Space Shuttle and the years 1981 & 2021. As A Collectable “Drop Culture” is nothing new. Photo Greg Bedrosian Predicting the future is usually difficult. In this case, there is a high probability that we will see G-Shock release the DW5600NASA2022 in the Spring of 2022 assuming the co-branding partnership remains intact. The biggest question is what will NASA celebrate? Surely not the anniversary of the failed spacewalk of 1982. You can play watch marketing executive and brainstorm something to celebrate about 1982’s Space Shuttle missions from this list from NASA. The specific event to commemorate is arbitrary, and the DW5600NASA2022 will sell out quickly when it drops. Folks like me who own the first two NASA G-Shocks will have to get the third, and the secondary-market flippers are poised to cash in on that mandate. These types of collaborations blur the line between the typically staid world of watches and the constantly disruptive world of fashion drop-culture. The NASA G-Shocks constitute one of the closest parallels I’ve seen between sneaker drop culture and watches. The MSRPs even share similar price points; $100 give or take. A trained eye can navigate the endless stream of “special” G-Shock models to predict the hits, just as a sneaker nerd can pick out the hits from Nike and Adidas. Something relatively cheap has the potential to quickly increase in value on the secondary market once the initial “drop” is sold out. One can find fun and profit in these speculations, and the NASA G-Shocks are sure to continue their upward trend. Secondary market gold. Photo Greg Bedrosian If you missed out on the NASA G-Shocks and the latest pair of Nike Dunks, that’s fine. Don’t let FOMO fear of missing out control your consumer dollars. There’s an easier way to study the red NASA worm logo the NASA Graphics Standards Manual, now published as a book, will set you back $80. While you’re at it, grab a pair of Nikes below MSRP from GOAT. Strap in for launch; next stop Hypetown.
Speakingof size and fit on the hand, this is one of the smallest G-Shocks on the market, coming at dimensions of 48.9 X 42.8 X 13.4 mm and a weight of 54 g. It will definitely not feel as a burden on the wrist and that makes it an overall better watch for daily use. DW5600E-1V - A tough watch indeed. On the screen, you can see the hour with
G-SHOCK has launched another fitness-focused smartwatch, the G-SHOCK DW-D5600, it’s second Powered by Polar follows the Casio G-SHOCK GBD-H2000, which impressed us in our in-depth review, thanks to the accuracy of its data and breadth of fitness G-SHOCK DW-H5600 inherits the octagonal design of the original G-SHOCK and celebrates its 40th anniversary. It comes with two interchangeable bezel designs, the first all-black, with the second adding colorful layouts displaying the wiring diagram of the DW-5600 circuit first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a retro Casio G-SHOCK, with the MIP LCD display, and classic Casio watches face. But the addition of a heart rate monitor means there’s more going on here than your average digital watch.> Upcoming smartwatches we're excited aboutCasioThe heart rate tracking is powered by Polar, which provides Running Index, Cardio Load, Energy Sources and Nightly Recharge will also make sense of heart rate data tracked during one of the G-SHOCK’s workout this model isn’t as fitness-focused as the GBD-H2000. There’s no built-in GPS, but it will piggyback off your paired there are only four workout modes too running, walking, gym workouts, and interval this is measured and recorded in the G-SHOCK app, which was our main point of criticism with the GBD-H2000. However, while a vast array of improvements could be made to the app, it seems less critical here, given that there’s a lower emphasis on sports and athletic life is estimated to be a week, but it does have solar-power capabilities, which means that the time will be displayed, even if the main watch has run out of battery. That only requires two hours of sunlight exposure per week, so it should be achievable. The G-SHOCK DW-H5600 is available in three models, with prices ranging from £269 to £389. US pricing/availability is still TBC.
Withthe advent of steel, positioning has changed a bit - now this is the predominance of office style. Agree, the GM-5600 will look better under a strict classic suit than the polyurethane DW-5600. But here it's already a matter of taste - one of my friends wears yellow and red G-Shocks with shirts and suits and is not ashamed.
It’s hard to beat G-Shock in terms of ruggedness. As a matter of fact, I think their logo should appear next to “Bombproof” in the dictionary. Unfortunately, the majority of G-Shock watches are humongous, making us slender-wristed folks feel a bit left out. However, there’s still a ray of hope for small wrists; the Casio G-Shock DW-5600. In this article, I will explain why I think it’s the best G-Shock watch for small wrists! MeasurementsG-Shock DW-5600Case Diameter43mmLug-to-Lug49mmCase Thickness13mmLug Width23mm As someone with small wrists, I scoured the internet for a tiny G-Shock, but most people recommended getting a Baby G instead. As I was about to step on my last bit of manliness and get a Baby G, an angel came down from heaven the DW-5600. Its square case makes this G-Shock wear extremely small, so it looks amazing on my wrist. As you can see above, there’s no lug overhang, no strap that sticks out too much, it’s just perfect! Although it fits on small wrists, I still consider the DW-5600 a bulky piece. You might have difficulty sliding it under shirt cuffs, and you will definitely feel its presence all day. Fortunately, it’s very comfortable despite the bulkiness, which makes it the perfect tool watch. SpecificationsG-Shock DW-5600Movement3229 ModuleWater Resistance200m / 20 barScreenLCDFunctionsStopwatch, Timer, Alarm, EL Backlight Just because it’s small and affordable doesn’t mean the DW-5600 isn’t as good as other G-Shocks. Of course, it doesn’t have a fancy GPS system or atomic clock like higher-end models do, but it can compete in every other way. For instance, it has 200m of water resistance, which is now G-shock’s standard. This means that you can take your DW-5600 underwater every single day and it will feel at home, even at deeper levels. The Casio 3229 module powering the DW-5600 keeps time with a basic quartz movement. Accordingly, it will be accurate to around +-15 sec/month. Considering the fact that it has a pre-set calendar up until 2099, you will basically only have to set the day & date about once a year. Depending on which functions you use, the battery should last 2-5 years. Speaking of which, the DW-5600 has three main functions; Stopwatch, Countdown timer, and alarm. The one I use the most is definitely the countdown timer. Whether it’s to measure cooking time, a meditation session, or something similar, you will certainly find a reason to use this function at least once a day. After that, the alarm function is probably the one I enjoy the most. I use it mostly on trips when I don’t have access to my regular alarm clock, or if I want to make sure that I’ll wake up even if my cellphone battery dies. I’m not a sporty person so I barely use the stopwatch, but I think runners and gym-goers will certainly find this function to be vital. One function I do find myself using quite a bit is Casio’s famous electro-luminescent backlight. This one provides a bright green light that will outshine any traditional analog watch lume. DesignG-Shock DW-5600StylingTool WatchMaterialResinCaseSquare Although the word G-Shock is now often associated with bulky round watches with tons of buttons, the original G-Shock was actually square. Indeed, Casio introduced the DW-5000 square G-Shock in 1983 to get into the rugged watches industry. As you can see below, the original G-Shock is almost indistinguishable from the DW-5600. It might be a bit weird to say for a digital watch, but I think it can be described as a vintage timepiece. What makes the square G-Shock so popular is its simplicity and straightforward looks. There’s no extra touch to make it stylish, but this is what gives it all its charm. As Casio mentions on its website “The DW5600 can be worn from the skate park to the office.” This square G-Shock is sold in a plethora of colorways, but I feel like the matte black version is the most appealing. Not only is it the original colorway of the DW-5000, but this matte black case gives it an understated look that matches the basic vibe of the watch. However, you can get the DW-5600 for $40-$50 on most websites. For such a cheap price, nothing’s stopping you from buying 2-3 different colorways to match your outfit of the day. At this price point, I think the G-Shock DW-5600 can be seen as a premium Casio F91-W with added ruggedness and a slightly better brand recognition. As you can see in my wrist shot above, this watch is my favorite when it comes to changing car tires, putting together a piece of Ikea furniture, going to the gym, etc… The resin case and bracelet are almost indestructible so you should expect your DW-5600 to keep on running for dozens of years, even if you take it through hell and back. It’s also quite surprising how classy this G-Shock can be. Its small size, square case, and understated styling make it fly under the radar. Of course, it won’t compete with a Grand Seiko, but it’s definitely the best-suited G-Shock for a business-casual outfit. In conclusion, I think the Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is undoubtedly the best bang-for-the-buck G-Shock watch on the market. Also, it might be the only model that’s perfectly suited for small wrists. Fortunately, it has all the important features that you’d expect from any other G-Shock pieces. Priced below $50, you can’t really go wrong with the DW-5600, and I also think that it will make a perfect gift for men of all ages including teenagers.

After I destroyed my Seiko SKX173 digging a ditch in my back yard, I found myself without a watch. I was not in a place financially where I could replace it with another automatic, and the thought of getting it fixed did not cross my mind. So the only thing to do was to find something cheap to replace it – and to replace it fast. Buy the Casio DW-5600E at Jomashop Buy on Amazon Like many Americans, I found myself browsing the aisles of Wal-Mart. Moments later I walked away with a Casio G-Shock DW-5600E strapped to my wrist. I knew that G-Shocks were supposed to be tough, and for $40 I could swing the purchase. That was the extent of my pre-purchase research. Oddly enough I also bought my first knife at Wal-Mart with no research. The DW-5600E ended up being my daily wear watch for the next 3 years. I eventually got my SKX173 fixed, but the DW5600E stayed on my wrist 95% of the time. I eventually upgraded to something cooler and 50x more expensive, but I still use my DW-5600E to time my laps at the swimming pool and for dirty jobs. Case and Movement The DW-5600E has a wide case, is thick, weighs 54g/ ounces, and is made in China. I would say it wears small thanks to the rectangular design. Casio originally developed the G-Shock series in the 80s, with the goal of creating a heavy duty, water resistant watch with excellent shock resistance G-Shock is actually short for “Gravity-Shock”. They ended up creating a modular digital quartz watch with a polymer cushioned case that has since spawned hundreds of iterations. Even the average lay-person can identify a G-shock, so to say the result was successful would be a massive understatement. Personally, I have beat on this watch for years without a second thought. Whenever I am testing a large fixed blade knife, or doing something stupid, I choose the Dw-5600. It hasn’t failed me yet and I’ve owned the watch for years. The shock resistance Casio advertises is no joke. I have had cheaper quartz watches that fell apart. The DW-5600E is currently Casio’s most basic model in the series. The 3229 module is the heart of the DW-5600E. I am not going to claim to be an expert on quartz digital movements. I will point you to Casio’s user’s manual for the 3329 if you want to know the ins and outs of the features and how to operate them. From what I can tell, my watch has kept great time. The DW-5600E is powered by a CR2016 lithium battery, and Casio says that it should last for 2 years if you use the backlight and alarm once a day. I use mine less than that and the watch has been going strong for 3-4 years now without need for a new battery. Rounding things out case back that is held down with 4 Phillips screws. This is to be distinguished from a screw down case back. The original DW-5600C came with a full steel case and screw down case back making it uber desirable among G-Shock collectors. While the current iteration is less robust, it’s still good for 200M of water resistance and has held up great for me. Dial and Bezel This is a no-frills watch, but still offers a staggering number of features, including a timer, stopwatch, alarm, calendar, and illumination. Everything is clearly laid out on the dial, and you press one of the 4 buttons on the case to rotate through the functions. I use the watch and calendar functions on a daily basis, and find the stopwatch handy for timing laps in the swimming pool or sets in the gym. Using the watch is intuitive. I am not going waste your time by trying to explain the feature set of the 3229 in great detail read the user manual for that. The digital read out is legible, and it’s easy to cycle through the functions and manipulate the watch. The electro luminescent EL backlight works well and elicits a soft blue glow. The LCD is covered by a mineral crystal. I have not had any chips or scratches on my crystal, thanks in large part to the protruding plastic bezel. While it doesn’t rotate and click like a dive watch, it does say “G-SHOCK PROTECTION” on it and soak up bumps and scrapes. Strap and On the Wrist The Dw-5600E comes with a removable polymer strap. The watch is designed so that the strap looks integrated, but if you wear it out it is easily replaced with a spring bar tool. Like the rest of the watch, the strap is practical. The strap is secured with a stainless steel buckle and polymer strap keeper. I find the DW-5600E to be a fantastically comfortable watch. It is lightweight and since it is on a strap rather than a bracelet, adjusting the watch for a perfect fit is easy. Being a sport watch, it’s chunky, but it does fit underneath the collar of a dress shirt, if you are as sartorially clueless as I am. I paired my 5600 with a Benchmade Griptilian, as both are polymer clad utilitarian objects. Casio DW-5600E Review – Final Thoughts For less than $50, the DW-5600E is an impressive piece of hardware. I wore mine with impunity for years and it has performed flawlessly. Although I have since moved on to fancier mechanical watches for daily wear, I still use my DW-5600 regularly – especially for the gym, working in the yard, and for other dirty jobs. It is a perfect beater watch. Although this is considered an entry level G-Shock, it has everything I need and should work well for most people. I am not a huge fan of the oversized G-shocks, and I think that the beauty of the 5600E lies in its simplicity. It is a lightweight and rugged watch that is ready for work. It also represents great value for money. I recommend it with confidence if you need an inexpensive, practical and tough watch.

Theyre massive, chunky, heavy and covered in countless nubs and facets. The DW-5600E, on the other hand, is comparably minimal. At 42.8mm wide and 13.4mm thick, it doesn't wear much larger than most big sports watches you can buy today. Its design, still firmly rooted in its 1980s upbringing, is far more mundane.
When talking about watches for everyday timekeeping, the term “tool watch” inevitably joins the discussion. Unlike a regular fashion or luxury watch prized mostly for its aesthetics, tool watches—like the tools in your EDC—have a specific purpose when worn. Tough, task-specific watches like pilot and dive watches fall into this category, making them popular choices for a daily driver; after all, these watches are designed to keep time and do their job even in the worst conditions. But ultra-rugged, overbuilt timepieces aren’t the only watches that deserve a spot on your wrist. The humble Casio G-Shock DW-5600 has been an EDC staple ever since it merged exceptional resistance and an affordable pricepoint with its introduction over 30 years ago. But 30 years is a long way from 2021—these days, is the DW-5600 still worth your time?Why Was the Casio G-Shock DW-5600 So Popular? 12345678910 Learn more about this EDCHands and arms and wrists get banged up in the course of one’s day, that’s an unfortunate fact. Even more so when your day involves time in hazardous situations like heavy machinery or in the line of duty. So wearing an expensive, delicate watch doesn’t make much sense from both a practical and financial perspective. What’s the point of spending so much on something that might get scratched at any given moment? That’s what makes the G-Shock an easy first pick for a daily watch, no matter how your day goes. The shock-resistant structure that was designed all the way in 1983 found its footing with Casio’s first flagship model, the DW-5600, launched 4 years later in 1987 and kept its signature square face and resilient features to this day. Though technology has since progressed in the past 30 years, the DW-5600’s core features of 200 meters of water resistance, shockproof design, and versatile timekeeping functions still find their way to G-Shocks today.
