What customers say about "Key Specs"

Casio G-5600E-1JF G-SHOCK Tough Solar Watch

So I like this watch for the following reasons: it's solar powered, it's meant to take a lickin' and keep on tickin' (vis a vis G-shock)
This is a great watch. It keeps time and provides timing and alarm functions with no fuss.
Can be worn casually as its mid-sized and very light weight. Plus it charges with Solar energy, so this will probably last atleast 5 years without any service required.
Wow, this is just an amazing watch from casio, luv it, looks and style is great, it really suits my small wrist.
Most of the G shock's are either big, bulky or too complicated, but this is just the right size for people having smaller wrists.

Casio DW5600E-1 G-Shock

Never have to worry about somebody spilling their seventeenth Diet Coke refill on my arm and ruining it.
Casio in a very affordable sports, work, or everyday design. This watch s something of a classic...and it meets my needs perfectly...I hope Casio never stops making this terrific watch!
I bought this watch for my boyfriend and he loves it. He wears it everyday, all day, even in the shower.
This watch does keep great time and is tough as nails. It is a basic watch that displays time, date, countdown timer, alarm, and has a light.
I wear it every day and also dive with it. It is a simple design and does not bulge out like many of the newer Casios.

Casio G-5600E-1JF G-SHOCK Tough Solar Watch

Solid and utilitarian watch, the band is thicker than GW5000-1JF but also comfortable to wear
Very good quality, excellent value and life proof. It's classic timeless design is pleasing and fit for most ocasions.
Great watch for the price point and durability
There's something about the rugged looks, no nonsense functionality of these watches that they will never go out of fashion.
Very robust watch. Nothing exaggerated in it. No extra show off. Solar charging is the most useful feature. Auto illumination is a great feature.

Casio DW5600E-1 G-Shock

I work in the restaurant business and needed a daily driver that could take a beating. This watch fits the bill perfectly!
Same watch I had purchased 40 years ago and I think same price. Great tough watch. Worth the money.
As advertised, this is just about the most durable ready-for-anything watch you can buy with all the popular features, digital accuracy and Casio reliability
I bought it as a nostalgic impulse remembering my first original steel case G-Shock from 1985 edition. It is very similar, lighter, better iluminated.
This watch is very durable and can take the hard bumps.

What customers say about "Features"

Casio G-5600E-1JF G-SHOCK Tough Solar Watch

It is small in size, both the face and wristband width and length (i.e.: meant for a small Japanese wrist).
This watch being solar makes me feel like ill have it for many years to come.
Awesome watch. Solar is a great feature.
Great watch! Old school no nonsense! Very vivid screen, light and rugged.
It is a very nice watch and you will not be afraid to change the battery with this watch.

Casio DW5600E-1 G-Shock

Love this watch. Its simple and lights up great.
The screen is bright and the watch doesn't have any issues and is still running strong since I bought it end of 2014.
I like the countdown alarm with the repeat function, I use it a lot for exercise, work breaks & meditation.
This G-Shock the Casio DW5600E is a fantastic watch. I wore mine for 7 years then passed it on to my son. At year 8 the battery finally died and I replaced it.
Alarm is loud enough to alert / wake me, but not obnoxiously loud.
