With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the
wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered
digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic
technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field
confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market

 Great purchase! April 13, 2010
Kenneth Rogers (El Cajon, CA, US)
I love this watch! It has amazing water resistance! The back light looks really cool, and I love the negative display style. This is just one of three G-Shocks I own. The only thing I would tell you is do not pay more than $90.00 for this watch. Casio lists the watch on their website for $89.00 but because this watch is hard to find online, many stores are marking them up to $120.00. I lucked out and found a local dealer that had one brand new for $89.00. Many people say they have owned G-Shocks for 10-20 years with no problems so I'm hoping to have this watch for quite some time. Also, if you take the watch into the ocean, make sure you rinse it with fresh water when your done. You will not be disappointed with any G-Shock you buy, the DW5600E-1V was approved by NASA and has been in space. How many watches in the 30-100 dollar range can say that?!
Finally, a Sleek G-Shock March 28, 2010

This is my second G-Shock watch. Before this one, I had a "Riseman", which I found to be too bulky. Moreover, all of the gadget functions on it weren't all that accurate or useful.
I still liked the G-Shock line, though, and when I saw this one, I decided it was time to buy another G-Shock. I am so completely satisfied with this one, and I love it.
The adjustable contrast on the negative display is a nice function, but leaving it at the middle setting (4) - even in dim lighting - is fine. It's very, very legible, and I don't know what others have complained about. I was worried that I was buying the negative display for the 'coolness' at the sacrifice of clarity, but I'm happy with the display and find it to be no detriment to visibility.
The alarm is loud and high pitched. Very audible. The customizable by day and time functions of the alarms and signal are super handy. For instance, my hourly signal is active from 0800 hours through 2000 hours, and then it shuts off so as not to wake me while I sleep. Truly a set-it-and-forget-it function. Brilliant. I think the most wonderful function of the alarm, though, is the two flashing LED lights that go off when it's sounding; No problem finding the watch in the early dark hours to shut the chime off.
The stop watch, with memory, is really great. I do use it for running, but I've found that it's equally useful for timing flight legs during navigation. This watch is clearly built for athletic training, but it's turned out to be my favorite flight watch, now, because of the stop watch display and the great back-lighting of the face.
The calendar and world time functions are great - particularly if you work in an environment that uses ISO date settings and you need such things. I just leave it on the day of the year count because it's sort of neat to watch.
Lastly, and most importantly, this G-Shock doesn't hog all of the real estate on my wrist. I have normal sized wrists, and this G-Shock is sleek and thin compared to others. It goes in and out of a shirt cuff without getting hooked, feels very light on the wrist, and is really a joy to wear all day long.
Some have commented about the lack of Tough Solar charging. I'll be honest: with all of the bells and whistles on this watch (literally) like the LEDs and multiple sounds (which, incidentally can be muted by holding the "mode" button for a few seconds), the solar charging would be running out of power frequently. Furthermore, since it doesn't push out of my sleeve cuff and stay in the sun-light, I don't have to worry about it getting a charge to keep running. This watch probably needs good ol' fashioned battery power to keep up with the demand for all of it's neat functions.
best watch ever February 5, 2010
E. Miller (New York, NY, US)
i have not been a watch wearer for many many years, however i started my clinical rotations and required a watch to help write orders etc etc. i had been using a cheap timex for a while but it was uncomfortable and did not look great. i found this watch online and wanted it for a while but couldnt find a reputable store to buy it from. then randomly amazon got one in stock - for 69.99! bought right away and loved it since. it looks great and has some of the best features a watch could possibly have. it fits my small wrist perfectly. i highly suggest this.
 good purchase October 28, 2009

I love the watch, but wish it was easier to see face. There is not enough contrast. I do love the auto light feature that come on when you lift your arm up to see the time. pretty easy to figure out and use all funtions, just needed manual for a few items. Very light. Overall I like the watch alot.
An excellent value October 8, 2009

This watch has more functions than I can possibly use. You can read the product description to see all that information. I merely wanted a watch that is durable, functional, well-built, stylish (at least to me) and value-priced. This watch meets all those needs.
There is an indiglo backlight with button placed squarely on the front of the watch (just below the dial) for easy access. You have some options to decide what information gets shown on the main display. I like being able to see the time, date, and day of week (I always seem to lose track of that). I've used the stopwatch/lap timer feature a few times. I don't take it with me when I run, but with a 50-lap timer, it could be useful if my primary running watch ever breaks. Another feature that is really nice is the ability to turn off the beep. Most digital watches beep when you switch between modes. I have a $10 Casio that does this and you can't turn the beep off on that one. So I am very thankful this watch allows you to disable the beep.
I was a little bit worried about the size of the watch. It's a little larger than most watches I wear and I was worried it might look too big on my wrist, but it looks fine. I especially like the reverse display (black dial with light numbers). I wish they made more watches that way. I'm not exactly sure how long the watch band will hold up over time. I've only had it a couple months, but the band feels like average quality, meaning it will likely break well before the watch stops working. But other than that the build quality feels solid and if it performs as well as my other (non G-Shock) Casios then I expect it to last for a long time.
A few minor gripes - the watch band is excessively long. I have small/average wrists so the band wraps almost completely around to the other side and sticks out a little bit too much. The buttons are also recessed into the case a little bit more than I would like, but that's not a huge deal. There are about 6 different modes, and you have to cycle through all 6 of them to get to any one of them. It would be nice to be able to set one mode as shortcut and be able to toggle back and forth between that and the main display instead of having to go through all 6 every time.
This watch is pretty inexpensive for a G-Shock, yet it offers most of the same functionality as models costing 3x-4x more. I'm satisfied that it's well worth the money.
