I haven’t given a shit about watches for 40 years and suddenly I want 20 square G-Shocks.

@LobsterRavioli 5 жыл бұрын

I appreciate the square lineup video, it’s my favorite G-Shock. I also like the fact you make videos of affordable watches, not many out there do. Keep up the great work buddy!

The best GWX-5600 version is in my opinion the GWX-5600WA witch has positive LCD and white mat finish band with no G-LIDE marks. I have one of these and i love it.

@nicokano 5 жыл бұрын

I confirm that 😎

@maxpayneau 5 жыл бұрын

I need to add that GWX-5600WA and his brown negative brother GWX-5600WB was a remake to the not the best looking in my opinion GWX-5600 main series. Botch are insanely perfect. I pay almost twice the price to bring one form USA to Poland. 🤗

there is also the grx 5600 with solar power (no atomic function) with tide and moon functions... i bodysurf most days and always have a tide gshock on my wrist.. currently the round gwx 5700s have taken my fancy.. but i have owned all the other squares at one stage or another..i enjoyed the video very much

Truly excellent job covering the squares in part 1 and 2. I collect squares so I’ve watched your g-shock square videos multiple times! Please keep making them. One thing to make note of is you use the world downfall instead of downside. A downfall is when the watch is a failure and not successful because of a feature, whereas downside would be a negative or con of the watch. Hope you make another video of squares! Thank you.

@WatchGeek 5 жыл бұрын

The DW-D5600P (which you refer to as DW-D5600) is not a line Casio wants to replace regular 5600s, despite possessing a higher quality screen and timer/alarm features. It lacks the distribution, which results in higher prices, competing with their growing models with solar/MB6 even. It lacks the variety of bezels, which makes many of them not "look" like normal 5600s. The "polarizing" GW-5600J (which you refer to as GW-5600) has specialized advantages: larger numerals and no silly 2-letter day display. More serious than the inability to simultaneously display time and both day/date is that these require a different bezel and strap, traits (and parts) shared with the DW-56RT. For some of us, it's a better value than the GW-M5610. And looks better, too.

@Lanciarules 5 жыл бұрын

Since you are considering the models discontinued, a lot are missing, like g-8100 and one of the most interesting g-shock ever: g-7800. And there were some in titanium as well like mrg-110

Keep up the great work,one of if not the best G channels since fwupow went down the rabbit hole.I will comment howewer on the GW-5600J you mentioned that came out in 2003.that had some great attributes like Ti caseback inscribed with text,THE G,an extra long strap with a bucke inscribed,THE G.I loved the expanded case which gave it more wrist presence.and how many of us plan on needing 6 band,I,m fine with 2.this watch had a bigger impact then you realize.okay,now onto the King(flame suit on)which is ridicoulous in size,you know,Invicta Russian diver size.unless you are Gorilla monsoon or Andre the GIANT you will look like a horses ass in public and 5 years down the road say what the hell was I thinking.

@WatchGeek 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words 😊. I miss fwupow as well, it was one of the first channels I followed 👍. Like I said in the video GW5600J has a cult status and followers, and I was not wrong. It is a polarizing watch and I knew sooner or later someone will flame me 😄👍. The king is ridiculous, but I just got one for my friend and plan on making a review, and I was surprised at how normally sized it is. I guess the new Frogman and Rangeman kind of changed my perception of LARGE as the king seems reasonably sized next to them...weird, I know

I thought you might be interested in this app for the iPhone, it's called Clock Wave, since I live outside the coverage area for the atomic clock towers, I wasn't able to take advantage of the Multi Band 6 feature of my watch, this app is like magic, I was able to successfully sync my watch in the middle of the day some 4500 KM away from the nearest tower. Maybe you could do a video review comparing it to atomic clock towers :). Thanks again for the video.
