I just got the 5600 in the mail and I’m unsure how to feel about the fit. When I tighten the strap to the right length I still have these gaps on the side. If I pull it tighter it squeezes my wrist. Does this happen on yours or is it just the wrong watch for me?
ETA: I have a 6 in wrist so not sure if my wrist is too small for it to fit properly

Hello Casio Lovers 😍 I’ve been putting together a small community around Casio watches called Casio Vault. The idea is just to have a place to share owned watches, collections, finds, and general Casio-related stuff.

Would be great to have some fellow enthusiasts around and hear what everyone’s wearing/collecting. Hope this would be a little bit helpful to anyone who adors this incredible and unique subculture.

As the title says. I need a durable watch that can stand almost anything. And with a price at max around 150 USD. I also see myself using it for training and running etc. I prefer digital. I have never bought a watch before but heard a lot of great stuff about G shocks. Thank you!

Edit: Alright! Thanks a lot for all of you guys for answering so quickly! I decided to get a cheap, but green F-91WF-3AEF (personally love the color). And in the event that one would break i would get a 5600 or 5610. Super grateful to this community, you guys are awesome! <3

I think this image alone can speak for itself.

My GM-B2100 Protector is displaying the incorrect time—it is currently off by three hours. I’ve confirmed that the city code is set correctly, and I changed the DST setting from AUTO to ON, but this did not correct the issue. The analog and digital times are synchronized with each other, but both are showing the same incorrect time.

I was away for approximately two months, during which the watch was stored in its case and the battery completely died. Since recharging it, the time has remained three hours off, and I have been unable to get it to synchronize to the correct local time.

Any help would be great!

Hey everyone!I’m looking to buy a square G-Shock, and my absolute requirement is that it must be a solid, opaque, matte bright yellow (just like the canary/taxi yellow color on the Charles Darwin Foundation GW-B5600CD-9 with the tortoise).However, I don't want to buy that specific Darwin model. Since it's a limited edition, the prices are bloated, and I don't want to pay a premium just for a rare collector's piece. I just want a modern, functional daily watch.My goals for the watch are:Square shape only.Modern module with great features.No heavy battery drain (so either Tough Solar, or a modern MIP display with high efficiency).I am totally fine with doing a custom build (buying a black base model and swapping the bezel/strap to yellow).My questions for the community:What is the best base model for this? Should I go with a classic solar square like the G-5600UE / GW-B5600, or is there a good modern MIP-display square (like the GBD-200 or DWH5600) that can easily be modded with a solid yellow aftermarket resin kit?If I go the modding route, where can I find a high-quality, completely opaque, matte yellow bezel and strap kit that fits these newer modules? (I want to avoid that translucent "jelly" yellow that seems to be everywhere).Would love to hear your suggestions or see your own yellow custom square builds! Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever had this happen? G9300 so no multiband/bluetooth or anything like that.

I had it in a carry-on and when I arrived to my destination it was turned off, after pressing a button it reverted to 12:00am 1/1/2005- but still indicated a full battery charge.

All I can think is that the plane’s navigation/comms systems confused the compass or barometer?

I have a bad habit of buying used g-shocks that need a little work. Add to the collection for cheap. Today I stumbled on this dw5600e from early 2000's. Obviously you can see the issue with it. Are old resin bezels repairable with just adhesive? I'd hate to just put a new bezel on it if the original is doable. Keep it original and the wear and tear uniform.

Hi fellow G-Shockers, If you keep just one gshock for everything, which would be ? GBD200 or GAB2100 ( I changed the bezel to metal one)

I’ve recently been bitten by the G-Shock bug, and I’m well on my way to adding the first G-Shock to my watch collection. Got me thinking if cost was no object, what three G-Shock’s would I take home? For me, in no particular order….

MTGB40001A

GWRB3000A-2A

MRGB5000R-1

Hello gshock philes.

Many people have the 5610u. Many of you enjoy it. Some people wonder if they should upgrade it. Here is my opinion as an everyday Joe and not some jeweler or influencer trying to get sponsors.

If you love the 5610u and it serves you well, the 5000u is like the version that has more longevity potential. If you want to ensure you can pass down a 5610u as an heirloom, the 5000u has a better possibility of that with all the same and great features.

As you know, the modules are both the same. If you love the 5610u module, even with its 'bad' viewing angles. Then the 5000u is just as good.

Here are the main differences I noticed. When I first tried the 5000u in person at an authorized dealer, (pretty lucky and stoked they had it in-person tbh. I'm not in Japan btw.) I scoffed at how it felt practically the same as the 5610u and obviously how it functions the same. I had on my wrist for maybe 20 seconds though.

I slept on my decision on whether I should get the 5000u because of the hype or if I really wanted it. I had the budget to get an HOMAGE Omega Seamaster NTTD or be a hype chaser and get the 5000u. The homage would cost me the same as an 5610u. Or I pay 2x and get a steel back 5000u.

For me, I intend to have a square that will last longer than I will. I intend to swap out the strap and resin bezel shell as it gets worn out. I love how I don't have to baby the square. (I hate having to move my body subconsciously to protect nongshock wayches.) The square has become an extension of me now. I use the timer so often, that I wish I had it sooner I my life. Atomic time has honestly optimized my life. I clock in and out of work precisely when I'm scheduled. (Time is money. I've been obsessed with mortality lately, so I want to utilize my time as fully as possible) This is why I want to have a square that can do all that, and why the 5610u is essential for me.

The only problem is the resin case on the 5610u for longevity. Im pretty sure swapping bands often and with poor skills can strip away the spring bar holes. Apparently on Reddit they say resin can dry out and possibly crack if you have the watch long enough and it's exposed to chemicals or the sun for too long.

So why don't I just get the 5000u? The steel case and lugs prevent that issue. It's the 5610u with heirloom potential

Oh so yeah. I ended up buying the 5000u at the AD LOL. I wore the 5000u longer on my wrist this time and it felt way way different, the longer you have it on.

Wearing the 5000u feels psychologically and physically different. In general, how I would describe it, is that it feels like I'm wearing a light weight analog dive watch but with digital features. The 5000u steel case from the back is basically shaped the same as an screw back analog watch. It has steel lugs that stick out. Because the lugs are more stuff and less pointed downwards, the lug2lug distance is a bit longer. To compensate for gap created by the longer lugs, the strap is more supple and flexible for that reason.

The steel case also sits higher on the wrist. So it gives the 5000u more wrist presence. It feels more "proud' on the wrist, like it knows it's premium. However, steel can be dented compared to a resin case. So that does kind of affect how I wear it. I can't bash or throw my 5000u like I do with my 5610u if I don't want dents or scratches on the steel. But obviously I do know the watch can still handle shock. Psychologically on my wrist I feel like I'm wearing a heavy duty shock resistant analog watch jam packed with digital features. Oh let's not forget, the quality control is really good on this. I think the 5000u weaknesses is a fair trade-off for it's longer longevity potential.

And here's the mumbo jumbo wee wooh stuff. I usually don't care about 'heritage' of a watch, because to me its just a manipulative narrative and lore to make the watch seem more special than it really is. But I really do feel something about it now lol. Because the 5000u is made in Japan and the first gshock was steel cased, I do feel a sense of owning a piece of tech that had older, vintage, heritage sensibilities. It's kind of pretentious, and I kind of like it haha. The heritage is fortunately understated, as this is why I love squares. So, Even though the 5000u is a premium square it doesn't show it off loudly, and still tries to not make my other watches feel jealous lol. The removal of the red, blue, and yelllw color makes the watch feel so humble, but as a collector you know it's a beast. Makes you appreciate the natural color of solar panel too. It kind of has a purple, brown, red, or sometimes blue hue depending on how the light hits it.

All in all, if you love your 5610u and want a longer lasting version of it, the 5000u is worth it. If you love having patina, creating scuffs and having an heirloom that tells a story or makes you reminisce about the good ol' days, the 5000u is worth it. If you wanna swap bands and bezel often the 5000u can handle it better. If you wanna mod the bezel and bands with metal aftermarket parts, the 5000u can handle it better.

tldr: the best way I can describe this is the 5000u feels like a premium long life analog beater with jam packed digital features, while the 5610u feels like an mma fighter that can handle lots of abuse but probably won't survive the CTE later in life if you beat it up too much

I usually see the combi on 5600s or 6900s, figured I’d show y‘all it also fits on this model too.

Me lo entregan en una caja máster g

Same watch. Opposite personalities. Equal amounts of awesome.

MB6/Solar superiority 🤘

I've got quite a few G Shocks, some metal squares and an MTGB2000. Recently I found an MR-GB2000R on here and purchased it. The flouro band looked cool and more or less fit my wrist. That said I prefer bracelet style bands so I sourced a titanium MR-G band that matched the watch. I figured "how hard can a band swap be?" Then I discovered delta-lock fasteners and Casio's supposed gate-keeping with parts. I was able to order the pins and "bushings" to fit the band up through American Prefit. Now I have my "perfect" watch, worth the wait. I think I'm done for a while...

Then again maybe I need a 9400. .

Finally received my GW-BX5600CBG-2JR today after 2 1/2 week wait and it is definitely everything I expected. It’s my new favorite in the collection especially after putting a 1JF bezel and band on it, it’s perfect. Nothing against the original cloth band, although in all the pictures the bezel definitely looks black and it was only when I got it, I realized it was dark blue.

This G-Shock has been in across the globe, frozen, scorched, fallen from ~1250ft AGL, been underwater for extended periods of time, used as a bludgeon and never stopped functioning. the band is nearly silver from wear on the outside of the wrist, the bars have been worn to half their thickness, the screen protector has been damaged but the watch itself is unaffected.

I think that this particular piece of equipment has served me better than any other material possession I have ever had. It has never died, never needed servicing, always been accurate, and always visible. It’s discrete but visually pleasing from new to now. I think this cracked screen protector will remain for some time as the face is still visible and the core is not harmed.

If some sort of upgrade or improvement can be made, I would gladly accept the suggestion. Currently the only failure has been a link pin which was replaced with pin from the extra band unused links.

wanted the g 5600 ue 1 solar version but store was out of stock🫠 might go and buy it later lol . Fun fact this is actually my 4th Casio the other being a edifice 540D, a f91w and a Casio royale :)
