Review on CASIO G-Shock Wrist Watch by Agata Koscikiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

I once had a DW9400 Rangeman, which I played enough of, and which looked too bulky on my thin hand. And I decided to sell them, and as a replacement I took this model in black with an orange display. They sat on the hand like a glove, the 5600s are much lighter than large G-Shocks, as well as ordinary steel watches, while they are also not afraid of water and falls. But when buying them, it is worth remembering that this model has been reissued since 1987 unchanged, hence the following disadvantages: - The buttons are small and tight. When it’s light, you’re not in a hurry to go anywhere, then there won’t be any problems, but it’s easy to press the wrong button in a hurry, especially since the button labels are very small, and the functions are arranged differently compared to modern G-Shocks. IN In the dark it is generally problematic to determine where the watch has the top if it is not on the hand, but to press the backlight button it is necessary. - Watch electronics also from 1987. Casio could have added a button to rewind the numbers (when setting the time, timer, etc.) but no, if you accidentally skip 1 minute - you will need to hold the tight time setting button for a long time in order to achieve the desired value, it is impossible to take a step back. Also, the alarm and hourly signal symbols on the display are not informative (the bell is an hourly signal? but why not an alarm clock?) In general, it can be recommended to fans of g-shock and those who will not use the functions often.

Pros
  • Lightweight, durable, retro design, Illuminator lighting, timer and alarm
Cons
  • Ergonomic buttons, outdated "brains". Numbers may be hard to see on models with color displays
