THE ORIGIN
5600
A number with special significance for G-SHOCK. Only models with the DNA of the pioneering G-SHOCK bear this mark. The square design symbolizes the origin of G-SHOCK and expresses the tireless efforts and continuous evolution of a watch that doesn't break even if it falls. Today, after 35 years of evolution, this unique design expresses the durability of G-SHOCK more than ever.
Case Construction
Inside the shock-resistant case is the quartz mechanism, positioned in such a way that it is almost suspended and does not have direct contact with the case. This absorbs external vibrations. The resin materials used are distinguished for their exceptional flexibility and shock-absorbing properties.
Total Protection
The reinforcements on the case and bezel, buttons, and dial protect the watches from impacts. The resin strap with its curved shape absorbs external shocks, safeguarding the case from them.

The ultimate digital watch that has stood the test of time with its value. I bought it for €50 and I am absolutely satisfied! It is simply wonderful! I love it!
1 Week: smaller than expected, very lightweight, the construction materials seem to be of good quality. The top left button is quite difficult to press. Maybe I'll trim the plastic around it like others have done.
I had bought it 35 years ago for spearfishing and the battery didn't have any issues. It lasted 25 years. If you want to believe it, someone from the group tried to replace it with his own. We had bought it together. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the rubber bracelets. They dry out from the saltwater and need frequent washing and application of silicone grease. I didn't lubricate it and it broke completely
What can one say about the first CASIO G-SHOCK? It is now a historical and foundational cornerstone of the G-SHOCK series, maintaining the timelessness of a series of exceptionally durable watches and a symbol of reliability.
The classic first G-Shock by Casio. Anyone who has a fetish for watches, especially Casio, should not be without it in their collection. I have fallen in love with this, along with the databank feature!
The watch is great, I have had it for 2 months and it has taken many hits due to work and it doesn't have any scratches on the protective cover. It would be nice if it had a glass like mobile phones for the screen because it got a small mark somewhere but it disappeared inside the glass...
In the end, I like the simplicity because it reminds me of the first Casio watches I had 30 years ago in school, of course not with 200 meters haha
In the end, it was value for money at €54
What can you say about this journey of life with him, from this model everything started in the 80s when they were Casio models made in Japan, now they are made in China or Thailand. Now it costs 50 euros for an approved watch by NASA SPACE that you get for a lifetime, the king of Casio G-Shock that will never betray you anywhere. To not say much more, more information can be found on YouTube with the Casio 5600E test and you will understand... what watch will you buy?
It accompanies you everywhere.. diving, parachuting, mountains, boats, work, daily at the gym.. we're not talking about durability, those who know about G-Shock understand.. and most importantly, it takes you through time and brings back memories of life moments!! Even if it's not the solar version at 50 euros, there is no other choice for those who appreciate the all-time classic!
The only watch someone needs.. The whole history of G-Shock on your wrist. Being the owner of many G-Shock Citizen watches, etc.. this little watch simply mesmerizes with its history and simplicity.
What can I say about this watch. It has so many reviews that I have nothing to add. I simply have 30 watches in my collection, of all types, but since I bought this one a year ago, it has never left my wrist. I forgot about all the others in the drawer.... A watch for a lifetime, immortal.
Very beautiful and reliable, worth every penny and more. Bought as a gift and it is exactly what I expected. G-Shock is a solid value. Satisfied with the product.
G-shock with 50 euros, you can boil it in a pot, NASA certification, the bracelet attaches very securely to the body, etc., meaning durability far beyond necessary.
Two things that bother me:
1. The buttons are designed not to protrude too much. Especially the top left one, which is used more frequently to reset counters, for example at the gym, is very recessed and requires nail strength to press.
2. The bracelet is relatively short. I have a 19cm wrist and I put the bracelet on the second notch so that it doesn't squeeze me too much. Unfortunately, there is not much excess from the bracelet and the edge remains exposed. Occasionally, the edge catches on various objects and the watch comes off the wrist. People with thinner wrists won't have such a problem.
Simple, lightweight, convenient, ideal for average/slim wrists, for everyday use. It is more beautiful than in the photos. As for accuracy, durability, and reliability, there is no need to even discuss it.
I'm back with a photo...
... Unfortunately not as it was (only the iron...)
With 18€ a new case and battery in the Casio. It became new.
Truly immortal watch!!
My father has had it since 1987-88 if I remember correctly. The difference is that it has a side ignition light. With this, it passed the military exams. It has gone through exercises, has descended countless times below 50m, has fallen just as many times from thousands of feet in height. We, as children, used to play with this watch because it was "dad's". It still works. Only the metal remains since over the years and the wear and tear, the plastic case said goodbye.
I will find it and send a photo...!
VFM at €50, get it with closed eyes, it has nothing to envy from more expensive models. Practical and simple, easy to read, very lightweight on the wrist, resistant to impacts and waterproof according to the product specifications.
After 3 years, I have to say the following: It doesn't understand anything about falls or impacts, the glass is scratch-free since it is well protected by plastic, it has accuracy in time and the time is clearly visible day and night, aesthetically very nice and easy to use, the straps are of very good quality and have shown no signs of wear so far. At 50 euros, for anyone looking for a watch to wear all day, every day, wherever they go and whatever they do, the choice is clearly this one. Don't search in vain for anything else.
A watch for almost everywhere, work, mountain, sea, swimming pool, it doesn't notice tough conditions. Comfortable and not fake, it is masculine and not just a child's gym watch as some say, or they haven't even seen it, or they are used to huge wall-sized watches with pointers that are for elderly people from the 1940s for example. I am 50 years old and it suits me, I haven't taken it off my hand since I got it in the summer of 2020 until now, summer 2022, and it still has a long way to go, amazing! The battery is supposed to last for 3 years, imagine how much it costs on the shelf! But its battery still holds up, and the price is good, with simplicity. My cousin bought a fancy watch with a brand name for 1000 euros and the dial got foggy from the steam in the bathroom, but when he saw my Casio, he was amazed. He finally said, "You have the best one." In the bathroom, with hot water and steam for 2 years, it doesn't notice anything, no problems, even though according to the manufacturers, it shouldn't. But this specific one doesn't notice anything! I will buy another one because at some point I might not find it, they might stop producing this model to bring a new one. Then I will get a model almost the same but it works with solar energy and has other features (a bit more expensive, of course, logical)
Well, this watch is the best there is. Despite having several watches (of higher value), I only wear this one now. It is rugged and can be worn in any conditions, but at the same time, I find it elegant in my everyday life. You can get it oily in the sea or in the mountains, rinse it with plenty of water if it gets dirty, and the next day it can still be worn even with a shirt.
Tank battle, I've worn it out at work, I hardly ever take it off my hand for almost 3 years now, Waterproof really 20 Bar. Very durable watch highly recommended for lovers of this type of watches
The main reason I bought it is because it reminded me of my school years. Although I have many watches in completely different price categories, it has become and remained my main watch for the whole day.
Positives? It really doesn't suffer anything. You don't even need to think about wearing it or not making a move that you shouldn't in order to avoid something happening. Why? Because it won't happen anyway. Essentially, it takes away a worry from your life.
As a negative, I really can't find any. If you like its appearance and especially if it reminds you of old times, just get it without a second thought.
For us, the 40+ age group, the aesthetics of this watch takes us back to beloved years. However, apart from that, this little watch is so affordable!!! Simple, elegant, quite high-quality, and lightweight
Just received it!
I gave it as a gift to my 11-year-old son and in the photo is his own hand, which is relatively thin for a child his age.
As for the watch, I think it is unnecessary to mention about g shock in general! They are a category of their own! This particular one is the classic first appearing g shock with basic functions, at a very good price for a watch that you can have for a lifetime! Compared to the giant-sized g shock watches, this one is compact, with a classic Casio design and reinforced!
Its functions are exactly as described. Even for an adult, it is ideal, let alone for a child as his first watch without worrying about breaking it, not to mention that it will stay with him for a lifetime and he will have this memory alive in his hands!
So, 5 stars without hesitation and with closed eyes when it comes to g shock!
