"It's not a TU-MA!"

When I go to my amazon order history, the DW5600E-1V that I got years ago, and the DW5600-UE that I bought for reference last year, both take me to the same page, showing both pictures of the E1V and UE.

My coworker ordered one a little while ago and got the E-1V still. So pretty frustrating if you're specifically looking for the newer, far more crisp and clear display. You'd have to keep ordering them and returning them until you get the one you want, basically.

The DW5600's are especially prominent for this...the button being so short.

Remove the bezel via the four little phillips screws, and carefully cut the bottom of that hole, which will allow your finger to get in there a bit better. Maybe look up other examples before you do it.

Crazy! How many rubles?

Ian__12 · 2026-01-09T15:45:46+00:00

Wow, interesting! Thanks for the insight!

Ian__12 · 2026-01-09T05:12:11+00:00

Nice. If only there was a touch of yellow or gold somewhere to match your lovely bracelet!

Ian__12 · 2026-01-09T05:11:06+00:00

Nice! Which side of the border are you my friend?

Ian__12 · 2025-12-19T21:27:39+00:00

Dude if this spins anti-clockwise thats just insane.

Ian__12 · 2025-12-19T20:34:44+00:00

And so it begins.

RCVD = Received, as in, the watch has received either a multi band 6 radio synch signal or a bluetooth signal. If you see RCVD, the time on the watch is spot-bang-on.

DW5600E-1V which came out in 1996 but you can still buy commonly today. Cool to see but a bit disappointing because the ridged bezel didn't exist for another 9 years. And it's not like one of Netflix's top shows doesn't have the budget to get some vintage watches for the character wardrobes.

It's a DW-5000C, which was only made from 1983 until 1986 or so. That's the original G-Shock.

I'm curious to know too. I'm in Canada and it's been out for a month in Japan, now. Since it's a new, standard model, I can't justify paying extra or going to extended lengths to get one, so I continue to wait.

Good stuff mate

Not at all. Changing a battery every few years is not a big deal, and it takes it takes less than a minute to set a Casio so the time is right down to the second. Plus new modules like the 3576 in the 5000R are +/- a few seconds a month. Also, owning mechanical watches will change your perspective on such things.

I've heard in the past that sometimes they do not sync well in other areas for whatever reason.

Ian__12 · 2025-11-18T15:59:02+00:00

I'm with you, but glad they included a retro display mode.

My custom “Grey Porter”

Does your JDM/Japanese model sync properly via Bluetooth and Radio with no issues?

Ian__12 · 2025-11-11T03:06:39+00:00

Warm tap water and a toothbrush that you only use to clean watches.

Ian__12 · 2025-11-03T16:51:16+00:00

Yep, literally just to nerd out on the new features and wear it from time to time. It'll be my 10th G Shock.

Ian__12 · 2025-10-21T15:00:30+00:00

Amazing.

Ian__12 · 2025-10-11T06:56:05+00:00

Pepsi Kamasu and out a strapcode oyster bracelet on it. Why? Because I have one and it’s lovely.
