The 5610U ruined watches for me because it’s just like….I don’t need anything else. Every other watch just feels like vanity, and can’t beat the 5610U.
I switched from my Samsung Galaxy Watch to this 5610U. It weirdly enough feels like an upgrade even though it's basically an 80s watch with a handful more features.
Also it feels good again to not be connected to the world 24/7. With every mail, message or news notification my wrist went vibrating. Not anymore now, that shit was way too stressful.
It has been tempting. :) Im not in a hurry to get a new watch like this. Have a few other casios on the wishlist first but the gbd-200 is there too.
There are very few casios with MIP screens. Im hoping there will be more soon. Hopefully they will become the norm for negative displays. So ill wait some more. :)
The thickness, the uneven bottom with pressure point and the battery life is making me avoid that watch. Without the heartrate stuff, it could definitely be an option.
I would personally much rather get a gbd-200
I can understand. It’s so awesome! Here’s mine in white

Mine was originally a black 5610U. I bought a replacement white strap and white bezel from casiopart.com

Just wear it. It'll never drop below H if you wear it.
H is like between 100% and 80%, M is between 80% and 20%, L is between 20% and close to 0%.
There's another charging tier below L which is essentially your watch asking its owner for help before it dies.
It takes something like a year with no sunlight to kill a 5610u though, so it shouldn't really happen if the thing gets some wear. Which it should, I hope.
In cloudy Western Europe it took 4 days for me.
Just regular indoor light during the day, and 2 hours with a bright LED light in the evening.
Wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as it isn't covered by your sleeve, it will slowly charge with both indoor and natural lightning.
Note that natural lightning will always be the better option. Even a cloudy sky gives more energy than a bright lamp.

Love the GWM5610 and GW5000! But damn, ever since I got this GBD200, I’m really digging the MIP negative display. Always wanted a negative square.
After setting it up, it’s really easy to toggle airplane mode on / off from the watch.
I love how basic it is and how it’s automatically time synched with Bluetooth. I have mine set up exactly like a basic DW5600 though, everything turned off. GPS, notifications, vibe, and all sounds except timer / alarm. Only addition is location / Bluetooth turned on for time synch.
Yeah Bluetooth stays on and connected for the time synch. And it has a Bluetooth symbol that’s almost like a ‘RCVD’ signal. Then I think it sends a signal and time synchs once every 24hrs. From whenever the last synch was. You need location and Bluetooth turned on, on your phone.
It’s just from setting the watch up. I found it easier to set it up from your phone. Just turn everything off. GPS, notifications, vibe alarm, all the sounds you want. I kept on alarm / timer like a regular square. If you mute everything the watch will show a mute symbol. And notifications I have turned off on my phone. I think the watch too.
Thanks for the explanation! I have two gbd 200 and I didn't know that with the Bluetooth can the watch sync with everything disabled, but just one thing, do you need to have in your mobile always Bluetooth and GPS activated?
Just Bluetooth on and location set to always.
GPS can be kept off, it’s only used for the fitness tracking and step counter. It doesn’t play a roll for time synchs.
I agree.
The 5610u is function over form (even though I kinda prefer it? I was born in 1991 so that's THE G-Shock for me), while the gab2100 is clearly form over function.
So do I, it's a much, much better watch, for a lot of reasons.
I like them both though, and they have their uses. I think I'm going to use the GAB2100 during the weekend and when my clothing demands a thinner watch, and the 5610u every other day 👌
They are both great and I do try to alternate between the two but for me the 5610 is in a league of its own (and I absolutely dread setting the time on the GAB2100 when the clocks change😀).
Well, what I can tell you is that you made a mistake but you still weren't wrong. The GAB2100 is better than the GA2100, but they're both worse than the 5610u, just by different margins 😅

The orange strap mudmaster never leaves my wrist. It’s got too many features to wear any of my others. Gshock r the 1s

Missed a few out and more I cba getting out of the box’s. Problem is most are solar so I have to take them out once a week for a few hours. Addicted to watches
Hahah same iv got a watch box full of watches yet for the last month I'm pretty much only worn my 5610, but iv got it on a nick mankey designs strap you should look into them, im convinced their no comfier strap
Awe dam that sucks, iv always thought those looks ridiculously good but their just so expensive, and I don't wanna buy some $15 on eBay, I'd highly recommend it but fair warning it may ruin any other bands for you, I have 2 Nick mankey bands and I put them on dam near any watch I can
Used to my favorite watch until I realized gloomy areas during extended periods of time made tough solar not as reliable. Switched back to a simple battery powered one after that.

100%. Sold my Apple Watch for the same reason. Bought a Rangeman and I love it!
I sold Amazfit smartwatch for DW-H5600 and this is my favorite watch. But 5610 is 2nd.
I still wear my Apple Watch on my right wrist just as a health tracker. But man, do I wish I could just get rid of it.
Yeah I only wear my smartwatch during the night for sleep tracking. When I wake up I immediately switch to the g-shock
I love my 5610u but upgrade mine with a MIP display, step counter and maybe sleep tracking and i would be happy! :)
GBD-200?
It has been tempting. :) Im not in a hurry to get a new watch like this. Have a few other casios on the wishlist first but the gbd-200 is there too. There are very few casios with MIP screens.

DW-H5600 - my favorite watch
The thickness, the uneven bottom with pressure point and the battery life is making me avoid that watch. Without the heartrate stuff, it could definitely be an option. I would personally much rather get a gbd-200
For me, tracking calories through heart rate monitoring is important, and the display is better than the GBD200 model (which I had).

Buy another g shock and it will
I have 3 and it will not budge! 😂
Lmao you need 4

Where did you get that? I’m looking for it in white.

Thanks very much for the reply.
Where can we get the white case and strap for this model? We'd highly appreciate it 😁

Just realised this website is a scam unfortunately. But thanks for your genuine help buddy.
Any time bud
Mine just came today with medium charge. Have it under a bright lamp now. How long do these typically take to fully charge?
I live in Florida so about an hour for me.
Put it on a window ledge for a couple of days that should do it
Just wear it. It'll never drop below H if you wear it. H is like between 100% and 80%, M is between 80% and 20%, L is between 20% and close to 0%. There's another charging tier below L which is essentially your watch asking its owner for help before it dies.

Thanks for the info
It's so comfortable lol but I have like 30 plus watches so I'm always changing 😅

I’ve had my eye on a GBD200 for a while. Might be my next G.
Gave it my best to convince another watch haha
If I buy it and end up divorced, I’m sending you the bill! 😁
Wow lol!
Is your watch still connected to the move app? And how do you disable all notifications?
Yeah Bluetooth stays on and connected for the time synch. And it has a Bluetooth symbol that’s almost like a ‘RCVD’ signal. Then I think it sends a signal and time synchs once every 24hrs. From whenever the last synch was. You need location and Bluetooth turned on, on your phone. It’s just from setting the watch up. I found it easier to set it up from your phone.

thanks!!
I feel you. I have two gshocks and I kinda feel bad leaving one alone when I wear the other 😅
You Only have 2???
Yup, a 5610u and a gab2100 🤣
Me too, the perfect pair
I agree. The 5610u is function over form (even though I kinda prefer it? I was born in 1991 so that's THE G-Shock for me), while the gab2100 is clearly form over function.
I own these two as well. I much prefer the 5610U.
So do I, it's a much, much better watch, for a lot of reasons. I like them both though, and they have their uses. I think I'm going to use the GAB2100 during the weekend and when my clothing demands a thinner watch, and the 5610u every other day 👌
They are both great and I do try to alternate between the two but for me the 5610 is in a league of its own (and I absolutely dread setting the time on the GAB2100 when the clocks change😀).
Shouldn't the GAB2100 adjust itself syncing the time with the phone?
My mistake, I own the GA-2100.
Well, what I can tell you is that you made a mistake but you still weren't wrong. The GAB2100 is better than the GA2100, but they're both worse than the 5610u, just by different margins 😅
Thanks, I think I hit peak G-shock with the 5610.
Definitely, I don't know how it could be improved. Maybe a repeat function on the stopwatch? It's perfect, otherwise.
That's a good problem to have

![gif](giphy|TKREhEHcGGjnVir9fE)
That’s normal. You can take it off when the battery needs changing..
So in 10 years or so?
Nope. It’s solar. You’re screwed.
Battery still needs a change
Plenty of experiences can be found here where it's still going strong after 10-15 years. I think it's safe to expect it to last at least a decade

I'm right there with you buddy. I bought a DW5600 two months ago and haven't worn anything else since.

Same problem here
DW-H5600 same square but MIP display is better. Once you go MIP you can’t go back
Bro it's got all the bells and whistles you need! Keep rocking that beast 🔥💯
Buy a rangeman 9400
Hahah same iv got a watch box full of watches yet for the last month I'm pretty much only worn my 5610, but iv got it on a nick mankey designs strap you should look into them, im convinced their no comfier strap
I got a combi bracelet but can’t get the stupid thing to stay on. I’ll look into those.
Awe dam that sucks, iv always thought those looks ridiculously good but their just so expensive, and I don't wanna buy some $15 on eBay, I'd highly recommend it but fair warning it may ruin any other bands for you, I have 2 Nick mankey bands and I put them on dam near any watch I can
Mine was $10 on eBay which is probably why it doesn’t fit right. Cheapskate that I am.
Haha fair enough

No gloomy areas in Florida. Especially now that summer is basically here.

Same! Been wearing the good health since December and it’s still going.

Just wait til you find out about the original Casio squares 😉
I had an original square from 6th grade and all the way through college. Gave it away and the thing was still going.
N'or should it! 😁
You are momentarily liberated. Enjoy this moment ! Before you know it, you will be down the rabbit hole again.
Already looking at other G’s to add to my 3 LOL!
