The Casio G-Shock, GW-5000-1JF, is one of Casio's top-of-the-line G-Shock square watches. expensive: costs about $320.00. The watch is similar to Casio's G-Shock line of square watches, which are much cheaper. However, this watch is made of quality materials. It has excellent build quality and is entirely made in Japan, including the bracelet clasp. Also, the watch strap is made of a softer rubber-polyurethane material. This watch is significantly heavier than the Casio GWM5610 G Shock. This is because the watch has a stainless steel back. There are many reasons why this watch is expensive compared to other Casio watches in the G-Shock line. The GW-5000-1JF has a solid history of positive customer feedback and I've found that the price of the watch doesn't typically fluctuate. : The price seems to increase exponentially without lowering prices or occasionally going into clearance. This shows that these watches are in high demand and have performed well. The watch has a long history and is the successor to the Japanese Casio G Shocks that were produced in the 1980s. GW-5000-1JF has a simple design. , a conservative and utilitarian dial with virtually no color throughout the dial. There is a very small red dot at the bottom center of the dial. The watch has a very clean, concise, durable and attractive appearance. G-Shock watch is oval, square, medium, watch case is slightly thicker than GWM5610. The watch stands for discreet appearance and presence. In fact, this watch doesn't stand out due to the conservative and understated appearance. If you are looking for a watch that will draw attention, this watch may not be for you. These watches are made for quality, not attention. This watch has the standard features that Casio's G-Shock line of products also has. This atomic clock is solar powered, has day of the week, date, time (standard or military), world time, multiple alarms, a stopwatch, a countdown timer and a backlight. Four function keys are ready to hand and can be activated without much effort. This G-Shock is water resistant to 600 feet. The watch also features a durable Casio 3159 module and comes with a one-year warranty. The letters and numbers on the dial are jet black: sharp, clear and easy to read. The green background is darker than the GWM5610. An English version of the user manual can be found at Casio.com. As mentioned earlier in this review, this watch is entirely made in Japan. Pros: The premium square Casio G Shock watch is made from the highest quality materials and superb build quality. It has all the standard features of a G Shock solar powered atomic clock. All watches are made in Japan and that is the main reason for their high cost. Consumer feedback on this watch has been very positive. If you are a Casio watch collector or want to make the best square G-Shock watch, this is the watch you should buy. Cons: These are expensive watches. The price of the watch is approximately $320.00. A similar Casio GWM5610 costs around $100. Of course, the GWM5610 watch is not made of the best construction materials and is made in Thailand. Verdict: This is an expensive, Japanese-made, high-quality Casio G Shock watch with rectangular and long-lasting Atom solar panels. If you want the best of a product line with quality materials and premium construction, then you might want this watch for your regular everyday use or for your Casio watch collection. However, if you can't justify the price of this watch, you can explore and buy the more affordable Casio GWM5610. It's not a top G-Shock watch, but it has all the basic features. Shipping from Japan to California was much quicker than expected, only about a week. The packaging was excellent. John Green
