Sweet Spot Square G
My original entry into the g shock world was a DW5600e. I loved the OG look and toughness of it. It also has such an under the radar history of movie roles, flight certified for NASA shuttle missions, military deployments, and millions of individual experiences that have given it a cult following since the 80’s - all

of which Casio does not flaunt in their marketing materials. It’s like the veteran athlete that continues to perform year over year with little celebration and fanfare. This 5610 takes it to the next level. It is slightly smaller overall, screen is much more legible, and the resin band is ever so slightly better quality. Combined with solar and Multi Band 6, this is a true sleeper of a watch. Dollar store looks on the outside and state of the art tech on the inside. It’s as unassuming as it is legendary. 5 stars all day!!
Timeless legacy that will delight for many years to come
This G-SHOCK 5600/5610 is a great example of the few products that are built to last. It is as good as it had been when it’s precdecssor model was available some 30+ years ago. Kudos to Casio for sticking to its G-SHOCK philosophy in making watches that don’t break. This is one of the reason that I keep going back to Casio; they inspire consumer confidence and continuously excite with color design to suit customers taste.
This model GWM5610-1 has a visual appeal to me, it has a nice mix of color mix of red border, white casing text, purplish solar panel, blue and orange text. I like that the proportion of color is not too overwhelming and a backlight with a subtle greenish hue. Really cool ! It’s back cover and resin casing is solidly built in Thailand. This unit is solar powered with auto power-off when it is idling.
The minor bugbear was the watch came with a paper box, seriously it deserves a better packaging. Personally, I would have preferred to pay a little more for a decent metallic box.
While the GWM5610 may be small compared to my G-SHOCK Gravity Master GPW2000, it has its a big place in my heart. The G-SHOCK GWM5610 is truly a timeless design which tranverse the passage of time. I am a proud owner of this watch; to me, owning it is like owning a legacy piece. Cheers !
