CasioG-Shock GWM5610-1 Men's Solar Black Resin Sport Watch

One of the best options for anyone looking for a high quality, affordable and reliable sports or work watch with legendary G-Shock durability too. Tough Solar power means not having to change batteries or wind it. The atomic time synchronization means you have accurate time every time. I live on the east coast and my watch gets updates every night. Lots of features and options such as auto illumination when tilting the watch to look, 12/24 hour time, language, multiple time zones, etc. Also, this is one of the smallest, lightest G-Shocks available and will fit even small wrists but still fit and look fine on large wrists. Overall, a nearly perfect digital watch. Enjoy!

I am a watch collector. I have about 50 watches - of all different sorts: automatic, quartz, analog, digital, high-end (luxury - like omega) and low-end (timex).This watch is hands-down the best watch in my collection. Sure I wouldn’t wear it with a suit. But in literally every other occasion this watch is perfect. It’s always accurate to the second - you never have to set it. And it syncs really well with atomic time (here in the US and in the UK from my experience). Also the world time feature is perfect when traveling - simply push the top two buttons in world time mode to switch the new time zone to your current time zone.Its button configuration is perfect compared to other digital watches. And the battery will last basically indefinitely. Perhaps you might need to add a new solar powered watch battery replacement once in your lifetime if the battery stops taking any charge.The stopwatch and timer are useful for me daily. And the hourly signal on the alarm mode is great when you want to be more mindful of the time.Sure Casio makes other similarly functioned watches that are just as fun. But I think where this reigns supreme over those is its classic design, perfect functionality and button layout, and its size. And it beats a smart watch in terms of battery life, durability, and reliability. I promise you won’t dislike this watch - unless you think the design is ugly… which I understand if you do. But give it a chance and you might discover the joy and security this watch gives me.

Model: GW-M5610USerial: 3495Water: 20BARMade in ThailandIt's a Casio: A durable square design with a soft touch wristband. If you're here researching for a new watch, the three similar and most picked models to choose from would be the 5000U, 5600, and this, the 5610. The 5000U is around $300, the 5600 at $55, and this 5610 at $90-100 as of this writing. These three models share slim watch thickness of around 12-13mm.I went with this 5610 for its middle price point, slimness (great for smaller wrists), tough solar (I don't want to change batteries so often), and MB6 (Multi-band 6). This is also the updated backlight model that's currently in production. All in all, loving it and its slim profile.

This is perhaps as close to a perfect digital watch as you can get. Besides the toughness of a G=Shock, it's got all the daily features one may need (alarm - which you can set up to 5, stopwatch and countdown timer). It also has world time, which is a nice feature to have when travelling. When in stop watch and time modes, the current time is displayed in the upper right corner of the display where the date normally is. It's solar powered, and the display shows how much power the watch has. Multi-band 6 is another feature, so it automatically sets the time once it receives a signal from an atomic clock transmitter. YMMV with this feature though. I have difficulty receiving the signal being on the U.S. east coast (the transmitter is in Colorado). There are phone apps you can use to strengthen the signal if normal reception fails. Despite this, it can be manually set if needed.Visibility of the display is an upgrade over the DW-5600. It's more clear, and more visible at different viewing angles. The standard backlight is now LED instead of the classic electroluminescence. Some prefer the latter. This may or may not be a deal breaker based on personal preference, but considering what this watch has to offer, it should only be a consideration in the bigger picture.The watch offers a great fit for G-Shock. With its slim profile, it lacks the bulk of many of the other G-Shock models out there. It's very comfortable to wear on different size wrists, though the strap may not be everyone's cup of tea.The design is very much retro, harkening back to the 1983 original square with the red border.For the price of this watch, it really is a great value. It's also possibly the only digital watch you'll ever need unless you want other functions like tides, barometers, etc. In my collection, this watch is one of my favorites. There's a good chance it will become one of yours too.
