About this deal

My core watches have been or are turning out to be relatively affordable, fun, and largely Japanese (though the Nuage employs a Swiss quartz engine). The GMW-5000U-1 is easier to carry with me than the GMW-B5000-G1, which is still a little top-heavy on me despite the retrofitted steel strap. That’s why it was a Japan-only model for so long, but there was a lot of demand for it outside of Japan.

By the way, the difference in the two Updated resins doesn't seem to be as noticeable to me as between the 5000 and 5610. It feels good to know that I can put a watch on that will endure as much beating as I’m about to put myself through, whether that’s for play or my other work as a tree trimmer. Above that, you're talking about luxury spin-offs, special editions, and the like as far as most people are concerned. The new white LED light is definitely easier for me to see in the pitch black with blurry eyes in the morning. There are usually a few DW-5000 models released during anniversary celebrations and there was a GW-5000 model for the 35th Anniversary.I own a number of automatic watches, but if I functionally need to wear the most accurate watch with the most useful features. But if I'm going to a half-decent restaurant or dinner with friends or something, I probably wouldn’t wear my 5000U. A power-saving mode extends the battery life (indicated at the bottom right of the LCD screen), though, with regular wearing, one should have little use for it. But what I'm saying is that I think normal everyday affordability is an important facet of a classic square. This model is based on the design of the original G-Shock DW-5000C, which was the first-ever G-Shock released in 1983.

Overall GW-5000U-1JF Multiband 6 with DLC is a timepiece that exemplifies the G-Shock ethos of toughness and innovation. The only color visible is the small dark red underline of the text “Shock Resist” below the LCD screen. I believe it is the only resin square that uses the 3495 module and has a metal casing and screw down case back. world time settings (48 cities), 31 time zones, the additional 2 time zones are for the cities of Fernando de Noronha (-2) and Kathmandu (+5.Synthetic resin is the ideal material for wrist straps thanks to its extremely durable and flexible properties. In the past, the “end of production” status appeared to apply globally to all markets, but it’s uncertain how the discontinuation of the GW-M5610-1JF will affect the status of the GWM5610-1 in the U. By sheer coincidence, I was looking over these on Seiyajapan last night and was trying to work out what set it apart from my beloved GWM-5610.

But the biggest change, the streamlined flow of the modes and the display of current time in all modes, is really great. It’s the same module (and display) as your 5610 tho, if you have the older non-U version there are some updates like LED light and I think the world time is different too…. Like the early G-Shock models, it has a screw-lock case back and is one of the only current G-Shocks, along with the digital Frogman and GMW-B5000, with this type of build. We welcome all manufacturers including Casio G-Shock, OMEGA, Rolex, Breitling, Rolex and Tudor, Seiko, Grand Seiko and others.

Casio probably decided to stop making the venerable 3159 module and replaced it with 3495, which doesn’t seem to work as nicely as in its GMW brethren.

Compared to the classic GW-5000, the "U" looks the same -- which I like -- because, how do you improve on perfection? The 5000U has a crisp well-sized display, solar, multi-band 6, world times, alarms, stop watch, 24-hour countdown timer, 200m water resistance, and the all-important internal metal watch case structure with screw back, all assembled in Japan (not Thailand or China like cheaper G-Shocks) with subsequent top-notch fit and finish.

The GWX-5600 G-Lide is like the GLX-5600 with its tide and moon graph, with the added features of Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6. The previous GW-5000-1 was a Japan-only model that was frequently bought by fans outside of Japan as an import, and the GW-5000U-1 with an updated module and LED light was initially available in Japan and Europe. The old and new models look nearly identical, with only slight differences for the light label and light indicator on the face and display.The TVA gives me the same level of satisfaction as my mechanical watches because it is so well-made and designed very nicely; the only problem is that the DLC coating may damage over time. For folks who love the construction of a screwback, and a form of practical understated minimalism, the GW-5000 is tough to beat. The watch features a stainless steel case coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), which not only enhances its sleek appearance but also provides exceptional resistance to scratches and wear.
