These squared-off digital watches have earned an iconic status in the world of horology. Their classic square-shaped model is the perfect watch for throwing on, and getting out there -- no worrying about bumps or nicks, exposure to water, or making sure the time is set before heading out the door. They made their first appearance back in 1983 with the DW-5000, which is still around today in the form of the DW5600. For a hair under a hundred dollars, it’s hard to get more watch for your money.
The DW5600 line represents some of the easiest to wear and compact watches in the entire G-SHOCK range. Measuring in at 42.8mm wide, 48.9mm long, and 13.4mm thick, the DW5600 will remain comfortable through nearly any activity. The integrated resin band keeps the watch securely affixed to your wrist throughout the day. You’ll appreciate the hard-wearing specs like 200m of water resistance, recessed buttons, and of course the shock resistance. If you’re looking for a watch to wear that you never have to worry about, the DW-5600 is the one.
Inside the watch, you’ll find Casio’s 3229 module. It’s one of the simpler and more straightforward modules to operate. Basic functions like programmable alarms, an hourly time signal, a countdown timer, and stopwatch make operation quick and easy. An EL Backlight with Afterglow lights the face up in the dark, making the watch usable in nearly any condition.
