Anyone seen the bottom middle DW-5600 up for sale anywhere? Cant find any on ebay.

(Great thread btw)

 

There was a similar one on sale corner but it is already sold.

sometimes on ebay you have to write DW5600 (all affixed!)

Does anybody knows the entire name of the G-5600 with the neg display?

 

reviving an old thread, this is the best 5600 series comparison ive ever seen.

 

Thank you for this. Invaluable comparison! Going through the same purchasing dilema myself. It's good to have this sort of thing as a sticky.

I know this is just me but it seems the more choice we have, the easier it is to be unsatisfied with the options.
eg:
- The gorgeous looking GW5600 (+ve) but with a day display.
- The GW-M5600-1JF but with the BC-1JF's bracelet.
:-s

 

In all fairness you forgot to mention that the 5600C is the solid steel "hocky puck" body. The rest are the composite resin bodies.

 

thanks for the comparison. since i'm new to casio g-shock, this has been a great help since i didn't know the difference between model numbers.

somehow, i still like the DW5600 the most.

 

I agree, excellent comparison ! I always wondered myself.

Which has bigger digits, the G-5600 or the GW-M5600?

Thanks.

 

The digits on the G-5600 are definitely bigger than the ones on the GW-M5600.

 

Thank you, Andy - I'm almost crying with relief!

 

I'm thinking about getting the GW-M5600 anybody know where to get it and is bluedial.com a real good, reliable dealer to get this watch from?

 

Could we edit/update this with references to relative alarm volume, as this is a common criticism of newer 5600 variants.

 

Is this new GW-5000 a Japanese only model? If so will they be making a US version , because I'm debating whether to wait for a US version of the GW-5000 or get a GWM-5600. Any help would be appreciated thanks

 

Good info. Thanks.

 

It says in the (old) review that the GW-M5600 has auto-EL. is this true, and if so, how do you turn it on/off?

 

Hold down the light button until A.EL is displayed (2-3 seconds) on the right.

I'm assuming it has the 3063 module.

 

Exactly what i needed. Perfect review. Thnaks alot

Nice lineup. That makes it easy to compare. I'm curious how the volume of the different 5600's is. There doesn't seem to be much information about that or are they all, like my mtg, low volume.
The G-SHOCK text on the GW5600 bezel is irl a bit more grayish (wearing it right now). Like this.

 

I suspect that the DW-5600 volume is the loudest. It is the same volume as the DW-6600 and G-7900. Someone else can verify its volume compared to the other 5600's. In my opinion, that is a major draw back of most of the newer models - they are just too quiet for me.

 

the g5600 with reverse display is nice... may i knw the full model name of that watch?? could not find in singapore.. only got army green, yellow white black all in positive display for g5600 in singapore

 

I read the original post but am still not confident. I'm trying to replace the bezel and band on my GWM5625E (http://www.casio.com/products/archive/Timepiece/G-Shock/GWM5625E-7/) It's not that the band broke its just that its become discolored over time. Therefore, I'm trying to replace it with a different color (preferably black/silver). I called the parts department and they were unable to match it with any other bands.

Ideally I would like to swap it with the DW5025D-8 band and bezel. (http://www.casio.com/products/Timepiece/G-Shock/DW5025D-8/)

Does anyone know if the bands and bezels are interchangeable between module 3063 and 1545?

 

Big old bump.
Investigating the 5600 series and it seems there are some more models..
What's the difference between a g-5600 and g-5600e?
Also, what's the GLX-5600-1 about?

 

What's the difference between a g-5600 and g-5600e?

I would like to know this, too.

The only difference I found is the G-5600 was introduced in 2002, and the newer G-5600E in 2009.

Not sure if they have the same module, and which watch has better features.

Hi,
If i can't find a replacement bezel for my G-5600module 2597)
then what other bezel model would fit it? none? does anyone know ?

 

Re: 5600 models comparedW5600-G5600-GW5600-GW-M5600

^ Unfortunately, the G-5600 has a unique shape (a kind of "stretched out DW-5600). There is no other G-Shock model that is compatible. You might be able to order bezel parts from CASIO directly, though.

 

Re: 5600 models comparedW5600-G5600-GW5600-GW-M5600

This is great review!
I hope someone can help me here. I am interested in 5600 models compared but without bezel. So comparison between 5600 modules (shape, thickness..) or maybe they are all same, only bezel is different?
Thanks!

I wonder if there is a website that allows users to select features of G Shock models and thus filter in the results. This would be useful for finding current or discontinued models in Casio's vast range that match the user's needs.

Heh... this thread was started in 2007 and still gets jolted back to life from time to time.

I wonder if there is a website that allows users to select features of G Shock models and thus filter in the results. This would be useful for finding current or discontinued models in Casio's vast range that match the user's needs.

No... there are so many features in common, it would be rather tedious to do it. The features people usually want to know more about are the timers--CDT (countdown timer) and STW (stopwatch). As in how many are included, what are their durations, and are there any other features like progress beepers, auto-repeat, etc. There are a few threads on these that you can search on.

But the usual routine is someone comes to WUS and posts what features they're looking for in a G-Shock and then receives some recommendations. Seeing how you're posting in the 5600 models thread, I can tell you that there are 3 main functional categories of the 5600 series: basic, solar/atomic, and moon/tide graph (GLX). The STW and CDT durations will vary depending upon the model. For example, the GW-M5600 and GW-M5610 look very much the same but have different CDT/STW durations (see post).

GW-M5610-1CR just arrived from (princetonwatch) and fully charged pristine and melted onto my wrist. i had constructed all of my wishes, wants, needs, and musts on several lists over the past months. comparing my watches, this is my third Casio to my DW-5600E and GB-X6900B and I am most pleased with all, giving the different functions I want from them. I will likely scrub my 25 yr olds, a 3H and a phillipines Ironman. My two other Ironmans remain for HRM abilities, which are on/off the wrist, so not so stringent requirements. all rounded out for the nice but now heavy glamor girl my Citizen eco-drive bracelet. Comparing the derivations of DW-5600s through the GW-M5610s makes me almost fatigued, except that it is very comforting to see in the forum that others have similar mindedness. I love it that I can keyboard with ease, and never have a watch that gets in my way now - at least none of my Casios have - including my Smurf Bluetooth, which saves my phone from the pocket yanking 30x per work day.
Although, as I last counted near a dozen watches, I need to unload some before I have an invitation to Watch Hoarders and have Dr Phil consulted.
But, I digress. As Casio brings out many updated versions, these will likely be a larger and larger thread, to the point that people getting the ZZW-ZM5600EZ future models will look back surprisingly and see that the derivations are not "where man has not traveled".
Requirements that lead me to GW-M5610-1CR: 1. very lightweight. 2. not cumbersome for keyboarding and wrist movements. 3. must Not scratch other valuable objects such as nicely painted vehicle side panels when a wayward armswing strikes car. 4. reliable solar. I am tired of battery worry. didn' find a kinetic lightweight. 5. atomic / RC clocked accurate. no more changing here and there. 6. easily readable daylight. 7. chronographic. CDT and ST available. 8. darkness readable in some version either one handed or A-EL or luminescent for the wee hours or eclipses. 9. tough. so G-shock is about it other than ironman. (well - affordable tough.) 10. I should be able to put it on, and not necessarily take it off, so it has to blend maximally comfortingly on wrist. which goes back to #1.
my GW-M5610-1CR at 99usd included shipping and I had to jump away from my AMZ Prime, which actually increased over 5usd as I placed it on my wish list. glad I went the new site. So far I can say I have never worn a Casio I didn't really enjoy. Even more so than my previous favorite and 3 grams lighter now dying "unfixable" burned out Luminox 3000 dive watch whose crown finally fell out and time cannot be changed, and whose battery will die with the face being inaccurate.
happily reviving this thread. (-:

Glad to hear the 5610 meets your expectations! Princeton is where I bought my 5610. They provide a decent selection and super fast shipping.
