Casio Adult Men's G-Shock Classic Core Watch DW5600E-1V

I have several Casio watches and this has to be the best one I own. There are better versions of it out there, of course, but if you're not fuzzy about the other features or don't mind changing batteries every two years, this should be more than enough.

I purchased a Casio DW5600E-1V about 20 years ago. I noticed that the face was getting dimmer and was harder to read. I replaced the battery, but there was no real change in the brightness. I went online and found this exact same watch on the Walmart website and purchased it. When it arrived, I compared the new one to the old one. No comparison! The new one was definitely brighter that the old one and swapped out my watch band to the new Casio. I really like this watch and hopefully it will last me another 20 years!

Great watch at a decent price. Not too small, not too big and chonky. Band is much more comfortable than cheaper, non G-Shock Casios. Has a nice weight to it, would completely recommend!

I bought my first G-Shock which is the same model as the new one approximately 30 years ago. I don't remember exactly what year. It still runs if I leave it on a table, but if I wear it, the numbers break up. At my age, I expect that this will be the last watch I will buy in this lifetime. It has gone up in price since I bought it. It was either $20 or $30 however long ago I bought it. At $46 today, I wish gas had gone up as little as this watch. It doesn't tell me how many calories I eat, how many steps I took today, what the temperature and altitude are or a whole lot of other useless information. It is just a watch, stop watch, I think an alarm, and an elapsed time watch. That's plenty complicated for me. I think the battery lasts at least two years and maybe three and costs $8 to replace. If you want a basic watch that will last you most of your life, this is the watch to get. I wish everything I owned worked this good.

Very simple to operate and feels snug (not slippery/loose). Green backlight provides excellent lumination at night (not just a tiny corner like cheap watches) Handles rough work environment temperatures/bumps well. Looks nicer than all other aggressively sporty watches. There is no other watch out there that provides a G shock pedigree, classic simplistic design and value for the price. ($50 total in my case. If you're a budget maniac on the fence about buying an inexpensive watch, save up a little more and go for this G shock.

I just purchased my fourth Casio G-Shock watch. My first one was when they first came out. I scuba dive and when Casio made a watch good for 300m with a stop watch and count down alarm for around $35 back then I jumped on it. I would set the count down alarm for my planned bottom time and could hear the alarm at depth real well. Pressing the buttons at depth never caused a leak. I was hooked on Casio from then on. I used the regular alarm function as my morning alarm clock until age robbed me of my high frequency hearing. Now I wear one because it's simply rugged and waterproof. I wear it surf fishing, swimming, and I still dive but only when I can hook up with my "old" buddies. As a former Industrial Engineer, I still find myself taking time studies at the DMV and Disney World. (Only an IE would appreciate that) I also use the stop watch when I'm grilling outdoors. This watch is just a classic in design and function. I've looked at other digital watches but they just don't compete in fit and function. I keep buying replacements after the battery dies because they never seem to have waterproof integrity once the initial factory seal is broken. Plus after 8 to 10 years of daily wear they do get a little crusty from outdoor activity where the watch is never removed from the wrist. Save yourself a few bucks and order your Casio G-Shock from Walmart online.

I have had this watch before and when the battery died I decided to replace it rather than get a new battery. I wear it every day and also dive with it. It is a simple design and does not bulge out like many of the newer Casios. It does everything I need it to do and I rarely bump into doors and so forth like I'm sure I would with larger watches. I am also not interested in adding more complicated technology in my life. This watch tells me the time, digitally, the day of the week and date, has an alarm and stopwatch/timer features. That is all I need from a watch, but I understand others might want some fancier features.

I bought this to replace my 20 year old Casio G-Shock watch. I needed a plastic band because I'm a high voltage electrician. I wore it snorkeling in the Caribbean and it stayed water tight. The only reason I replaced my old one is because I broke the battery holder trying to replace it. They are a great watch and a great value.

got this for a buddy as a gift. his watch of many years quit on him and I am a watch enthusiast. thought this would be perfect for him as a work/beater watch. he loves it.

The listing for this watch *********E-1V specifically noted that the watch backlight was electro-luminescent and the photo of the watch showed the electro-luminescent label as well. The watch that arrived had an LED backlight which is a different technology and is a different lighting appearance. The listing needs to be updated to reflect this. The Casio G-Shock DW-*********-1V originally featured an electro-luminescent (EL) backlight, but newer versions, designated as DW-*********-1, use an LED backlight.
