Plenty of \u201880s kids got one as their first watch, and later grew up to be watch nuts like me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m more of a Timex Shock kinda guy. Even so, there\u2019s something about the Casio G-Shock that is undeniably appealing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we\u2019re looking at the G-Shock DW-5600E. It\u2019s a very <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/benrus-orbit-robot-skindiver-watch-review\/\">nostalgic watch<\/a>, about the closest thing you can get to the original DW-5000C, which was the very first G-Shock.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Impressions of the G-Shock DW-5600E<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>G-Shock watches in general have crept up in price over the years (what hasn\u2019t?) and at this point they tend to go for $100 or so. But the DW-5600E remains more affordable. It\u2019s usually in the $70 range, and occasionally you can nab one on sale for around $40, like I recently did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call it an impulse buy. These watches have some&nbsp;<em>extremely<\/em>&nbsp;devoted adherents, as well as some equally vocal detractors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, fanboys and haters be damned, I\u2019m here to tell you that this watch is\u2026 pretty good. It\u2019s fine. It\u2019s not likely to knock your socks off, but you\u2019re not likely to call it a waste of money either. The Casio G-Shock DW-5600E is, by design, pretty basic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you know what? I\u2019m okay with that. Right out of the box, this watch is&nbsp;<strong>comfortable, lightweight, and has a simple design<\/strong>&nbsp;that I can appreciate. It\u2019s also incredibly tough, which is pretty much what the whole G-Shock line is all about.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_0738f0-8f\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_02901a-c8{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_02901a-c8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_02901a-c8\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_6ea7dc-d3.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_6ea7dc-d3.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_6ea7dc-d3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_6ea7dc-d3\"><figure class=\"aligncenter kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/g-shock-dw-5600E-construction-and-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Construction and Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The G-Shock DW-5600E has a&nbsp;<strong>basic, square design with an easy-to-read rectangular LCD display.<\/strong>&nbsp;The backlight is a mild blue-green glow which, if I\u2019m being honest, I\u2019d like to be a little brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modern DW-5600E has a resin (i.e. plastic) case, which is one of the few features that set it apart from the classic steel-encased G-Shock watches from the \u201880s. That might sound like a bad thing, but&nbsp;<strong>the resin case is waterproof, more shock-absorbent than steel,<\/strong>&nbsp;and is surely part of why this watch is comparatively inexpensive. This watch is also very lightweight at just 53g (1.87oz).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I quite like about the DW-5600E, especially compared to other G-Shock watches, is its size. At 42.8mm wide and 13.4mm thick, it\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>less bulky<\/strong>&nbsp;than many of its other counterparts in the G-Shock lineup. There\u2019s something modest about its trim, no-frills design that I really appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_c9e4a0-71.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_c9e4a0-71 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_c9e4a0-71.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_c9e4a0-71 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_c9e4a0-71 figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image_c9e4a0-71 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_c9e4a0-71 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_c9e4a0-71 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_c9e4a0-71\"><figure class=\"aligncenter kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/g-shock-dw-5600E-features.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use and Wear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vOz4Il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">G-Shock DW-5600E<\/a>&nbsp;gets points for comfort. In addition to being light and relatively slim, it also has a soft resin band that feels secure while offering solid comfort. You can legitimately forget you\u2019re wearing it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for functionality, this watch falls squarely in the good-not-great range. Getting everything set up and cycling through the&nbsp;<strong>alarm clock, timer and stopwatch<\/strong>&nbsp;functions is clunky and takes getting used to. Remember that this is a watch whose functionality has been only marginally updated since the 1980s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, most people who buy a watch like the G-Shock don\u2019t get it for its chronograph and other functions. They get it because it\u2019s a&nbsp;<strong>rugged, dependable beater<\/strong>&nbsp;watch that they can wear anywhere without worrying about it breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_d09e07-0a.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_d09e07-0a .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_d09e07-0a.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_d09e07-0a .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_d09e07-0a figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image_d09e07-0a .image-is-svg, .kb-image_d09e07-0a .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_d09e07-0a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_d09e07-0a\"><figure class=\"aligncenter kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/g-shock-dw-5600E-durability-and-water-resistance.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durability and Water Resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The defining feature of G-Shock watches has always been that you can basically beat the hell out of them, and they\u2019ll keep on ticking.

While the original DW-5000C boasted \u201ctriple 10\u201d resistance (10-year battery life, 10-bar water resistance and the ability to withstand a 10-meter fall), today\u2019s G-shocks have evolved to become more water- and shock-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With 200-meter (20-bar) water resistance, the current iteration of the DW-5600E is twice as water-resistant as the G-shocks of yesteryear.<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s hard to accurately gauge a watch\u2019s resilience against impact, but the resin case and bezel are certainly more shock-resistant than the older steel models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for the sake of science, I tossed my G-Shock out a third story window onto cement\u2060\u2014I\u2019d guess that\u2019s about 10 meters\u2060\u2014and it barely made a scratch. I didn\u2019t run it over with my car, but if you want to see what happens when you do, there are plenty of folks doing it on YouTube.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only area where the modern G-Shock DW-5600E doesn\u2019t quite live up to the OG is battery life.

You\u2019re meant to look at it and go, \u201cWoa! They still make these? Cool!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I totally get that, and I\u2019m as susceptible to it as the next guy. It actually&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;pretty cool that they still make these, and that they still look pretty much the same as they did 35 years ago. It makes one remember how much fun it was to get one\u2019s first digital watch way back when. Even figuring out how to use the somewhat unwieldy buttons is sort of enjoyable in a charming-throwback kind of way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that a good enough reason to buy this watch? Maybe. Maybe not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The G-Shock DW-5600E is one of those things that\u2019s good for what it is: a durable, dependable watch that you can wear camping, kayaking, to the gym, or while doing yard work.<\/strong>&nbsp;The aspects of it that might be a little lackluster don\u2019t really matter all that much if you just want a simple digital watch that can take all the punishment you can throw at it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll also admit that the simplicity of this G-Shock model is a virtue.&nbsp;<strong>If you\u2019ve had it up to here with watches that tell you the weather, count your steps and keep track of your heart rate, then the G-Shock DW-5600E is the perfect antidote.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line, for me, is that this watch is worth your hard-earned dollars if you can grab one on sale.&nbsp;<strong>It\u2019s a good buy at $40,<\/strong>&nbsp;and you can sometimes find them marked down to around that range on Amazon. Heck, they even have these things at Walmart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at full price\u2014closer to $70\u2014there are better watches for your money out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re looking at the G-Shock DW-5600E.
