The 5600, 5610 and 5000 are different products. I won't even get into GW vs DW and all the suffixes, it's not worth my time. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Shock-GW-5000-1JF-Multi-Japan/dp/B00272NBJQ

An apple watch can't take a single day of abuse in my line of work. A plastic G-Shock can't take many splashes of hydraulic oil and solvents before the plastic starts decomposing and stinking to high heaven.
Both are large batch products. Whether SS steel is the most used material in watchmaking doesn't mean anything: regular G-Shocks are extremely inexpensive in relation to the value provided, and limited runs costs a lot. The tooling alone costs in the range of hundreds of thousands, let alone supply, labor, marketing. You don't even know of the differences in fit and finish, just that it looks kinda the same and it has the same features, right? By that reasoning, an Invicta and a proper Submariner might as well cost the same, because hey, construction quality and durability shouldn't affect price, right? A date Sub costs 1k more than a no date Sub, but hey, a completely different case material, additional features and a proper metal bracelet don't justify a $300 increase in price, on a watch that can take a literal beating.

"Their Casio"? What does that mean? Are you aware of the fact that Casio sells $3000 watches? And a ton of watches around $600? And that full steel regular G-Shocks start around $300? Again, does that also work for "their seiko"?
This is nowhere near "ridiculously priced" for Casio, you're just ignorant of their products and expect all Casio watches to be cheap, regardless of their features, construction materials and fit&finish. A B650WD-1ACF costs around triple of what an F91W-1 does, on the sole account of having slightly brighter light and being made out of thin sheet metal.

What facts am I getting wrong? You don't have a clue.

Casio DW-5600C

My dad gave me that watch in second grade, and the battery lasted 21 years. Since the battery died and the bezel had long since rotted away (http://i.imgur.com/fERS2FW.jpg) I replaced it with the great GW-5000

Durable watch that looks nicer.

Durable watch that looks really nice.

These metal watches are more prone to scratches by their nature but they are shock resistant.

Classiest G-Shock.

Nobody (from my experience) in the military wears these analogue watches branded as military watches. If you want a military style watch I'd go with a hamilton khaki field.

Get this JDM G Shock

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Shock-GW-5000-1JF-Multi-Japan/dp/B00272NBJQ

The band is MUCH nicer than the US market one - solar charging and radio sync. I actually set my other watches with it when I'm not wearing it.

Have a look at this one: gw-5000-1jf - it's JDM but still available in the US. And you can probably find one for less than that amazon price (but at the moment I'm not sure where, or I'd probably be buying it).

Multiband 6, tough solar, slim.... that's basically the standard for the 5600 series (though, yes, it's a 5000 model).

And I appreciate the kind replies! =)

​

Wear it in good health!

​

And I'm not sure if I should show you this considering you show signs of the same addiction I and many others on this sub share, but...^(clickity click)

​

;)

​

EDIT: For clarification, that is said to be THE G-Shock Mac Daddy watch. I bought it for a friend I don't get to see enough but hope to see soon again. I hope he is enjoying it (and brings it with him so I can see if I want to get one for myself! Haha).

Can't go wrong with a GW-5000 http://www.amazon.com/Casio-Shock-GW-5000-1JF-Multi-Japan/dp/B00272NBJQ

DLC coated screwback, solar, atomic, and premium resin. Very comfortable, durable and versatile watch. It's more than your average square G-Shock but well worth it in my opinion.

For something cheaper, try the GWM-5610. It's more colorful and still solar and atomic but mine is less comfortable than the 5000.

How do you feel about this model?

u/casterofdreams · 1 pointr/gshock

I dieted it from this particular seller: Casio G Shock GW-5000-1JF Multi Band 6 Japan Made https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00272NBJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XKh6CbPVWPQEK

Hope this helps.

I dunno should if i should put my money on a GW5000 https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Shock-GW-5000-1JF-Multi-Japan/dp/B00272NBJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550496691&sr=8-1&keywords=GW5000

Second thing is I saw the steel case for the 5600 on Lazada, they are from China, I wonder if they be trusted.
