Reliable and classic watch
I just ordered and received this, my second DW5600E after the first one suffered bezel failure (the watch still works) after almost 12 years on the original battery. When I tried to replace the failed battery I accidentally bent the (very stiff) original band too far the wrong way; my fault. The resin is tough but it does get a little brittle with age. That watch replaced a 1982 vintage DW200 that also still works, but also had the resin case crack after 28 years of nearly continuous use and multiple battery changes.
I was delighted to receive a watch made in Thailand, not China, at this price point. I look forward to another decade or more of flawless usage and utility.
1 of 2 best watch values IN THE WORLD!
Aside from the Casio Duro (best value 200 meter dive watch on earth), this is the best value all-around, durable, simple, classic “beater” watch money can buy. Removed it from the package and threw it to the bottom of my swimming pool for several hours to be sure it had no water resistance defect. I haven’t had this model long, but it’s been on several hikes and my puppy got a hold of it and tossed it around before I was able to grab it back. I’ve had several other G-shocks that were larger and more bulky on the wrist but this is super light and comfortable in comparison. BTW, lots of people complaining about the top left button appearing to be recessed or stuck in the pushed-in position, but if you look online at photos for 3 minutes, you will find that this is the design of this watch and not a malfunction. So far, so good!
Yes I do have the time
I had a cheap casio in the 80s , broke when I fell off my bike , was looking for another timex when I came across the g shocks , got a used in like new condition one from Amazon for a few dollar savings with free prime shipping . Was worried at first band was gonna be too small but I think its because of the curve of the watch , I still have 5 holes left over after buckling it . This is the first digital watch I've had since I was a kid , love the simple functions , the weight and look of it . Watched a bunch of u toob vids before ordering. Curious how long the battery will last though with using the alarm daily for wake ups.
It's a G-Shock!
What can you say - it's a G-shock and does what it's suppose to do. Accurate and water proof to 200 meters. It's comfortable to wear, light weight and looks really nice. Good backlight. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive G-Shock watches. Does not have a compass, barometer etc. etc. but I just needed a rugged time piece for when the going gets tough in adverse outdoor situations.
The only thing that some may not like is:
I have a 6 1/2" wrist It's size is just right. Therefore the display is small that some (with poor eyesight like me) may find it a little difficult to read under certain conditions. Also, if you have a very large wrist the watch will look like you're wearing a woman's watch.
Didn't feel right without it
Had this watch for almost a year, wore it everyday. Just decided to buy another one because i got a bit of transmission fluid on it and it ruined the rubber/plastic. You'll never get the smell of it off either. You could get new bands and a bezel, but for the cost (and the smell of transmission fluid) you might as well just buy another one. This watch held up to pretty much everything I threw at it, just keep it away from harsh chemicals and automotive fluids. Hard to tell from the pic, but transmission fluid kind of made the bezel part swell up.
Works as advertised, has for 40 years of watches
This is a replacement watch. Have been replacing every 5-7 years for 40 years. The watch has all the functions I need at a good price. All the watches have been reliable and relatively accurate. Working on the water and around lots of vertical wiring have ended up with some of them snagged and ended up in the water, but the price has made replacing them affordable. The 24 hour time readout has been invaluable for watch standing over the years. They have to be good if I keep coming back to them.
