Digital, for Men, GW-5000U-1ER

If you are looking at this watch then you are probably a G shock collector ? What you are looking at is a much upgraded DW-5600 which at the moment you can get for around £50+. So what you get is a solid stainless steel core, atomic time keeping, solar charging, far higher quality bezel and strap, much improved module (far more functions). Basically this is a set and forget watch, always accurate time and date including "DST" (Day Light Saving) due to the atomic time keeping signal which is transmitted every night at around 1am in the UK. No battery changes every few years , just expose it to daylight/sunlight when you're not wearing it to keep it charged, should last approx 6months+ when fully charged with no exposure to light and power saving turned on. If you decide to get this watch then make sure you get the "U" version with the updated module. If you don't want to spend the £200+ this watch costs then go for the G Shock GW-M5610U which has exactly the same module and functions but without the quality upgrades as mentioned but still a great watch which sells for around the £100 mark. Which ever you decide you are getting a very good watch. Hope this review helps ! EDIT: Forgot to mention that the GW-5000U also has a screw down mirrored case back with DLC (diamond like coating) and not the conventional 4 screws which you find on many other G-Shocks, so water resistance is also improved. EDIT 2: (15/3/25) 12 months on and the watch is still working perfectly, I have not had to touch it once ! Battery always at 100%...Time always correct to the second.

If you looking at this watch than you know it is a good product. When it arrives it not dissapoont me , it is a beutifull piece of timer. Old school looking but up to date. Great if you like a bit more quality in life. It is not as big as my Garmin Fenix6 which surprised me a little bit. It is my first Gshock and my only one i need. Perfect choice.

I always thought that G Shock watches looked big and chunky but on receipt of this 5000U solar watch, apart from being really light the time function was spot on so no more correcting for seconds lost or gained. The secondary functions like stop watch, time zones, daylight saving and darkness backlight all work perfectly. As with all G Shocks, there is no worries about extra protection during everyday use even after almost two of wearing, it still looks like new with its coated stainless steel case wrapped in durable polymar rubber.

I've owned over 20+ g shocks in my watch collecting journey and this has got to be the most pleasantly satisfying of them all' comfort on the wrist is off the scale 10/10 everything about this g feels right,and it will soon be the only g shock left in my collection yep you guessed, I've found my ultimate g :) this one is a keeper excellent timepiece

my favourite watch fir now. high quality, but looks like any other g shock. understated which I like.

One standout feature is its multiband 6 technology, which automatically adjusts the local timezone if radio signals are available in your area. Additionally, it offers around 30 timezones worldwide, making setup a breeze. The tough solar feature is a game-changer, allowing the watch to harness solar power for charging. Moreover, the watch conserves battery life by turning off the digital screen during periods of non-use, easily reactivated with a simple shake. What's truly exceptional about this watch is that it's a Japanese exclusive, made in Japan with superb craftsmanship. It's rarely available outside of Japan, which adds to its allure.

As a G-Shock collector and a owner or a MTG-B3000 I can honestly say this is one of if not THE best G-shock squares out there… Yes a GW-M5610U is a dam fine watch but until you have them both in your hand then you will understand the extra quality!!!

Understated quality at its best. The slightly thicker case gives it more presence and falls v nicely on the wrist. Radio controlled time works perfectly in our bedroom flat (London) and is a treat if you like / need v accurate time. As mentioned in other reviews, the strap is a real step up from my other Casios. Finally I enjoy looking after its solar charging - as if you nurtured a plant. (8 min of good solar light [50k lux] = 1 day of charge) (in case you wonder it takes 40 hours to go from dead to fully charged)

Top EDC Uhr! Ob im Alltag, auf der Arbeit, beim Sport oder in der Natur. Die Uhr macht einfach alles mit ohne aufzufallen. Sie trägt sich super angenehm ohne zu klobig zu sein. Auch für schmalere Handgelenke. Gut finde ich, dass die Timer-Funktion einfach einzustellen ist ohne großartig in Untermenüs suchen zu müssen. Für den Preis erhält man absolut zuverlässige Uhr die man bei fast jedem Anlass tragen kann.

Het is een horloge voor degenen die niet veel nutteloze technologie willen

Genuine and original product. This is made in Japan with high quality build and feel. Multi band 6 is not available in UAE though. But everything else is perfect. Arrived on time and in proper packaging

Lepszej kostki (subiektywnie) nie ma :)

Finalmente sono entrato anch'io nel club dei possessori di questo orologio. Le mie sensazioni sono estremamente positive. Provengo da un G-Shock referenza GW-M5610 e questo orologio è decisamente di un altro livello, a partire dalla qualità delle plastiche (più morbide e piacevoli al tatto) fino ad arrivare al bellissimo fondello a vite con trattamento DLC. Il peso dell'orologio è leggermente più alto rispetto a modelli simili per via della cassa interna in acciaio, la quale fa trasparire maggiormente la qualità costruttiva del segnatempo. Il prezzo non è assolutamente dei più concorrenziali (soprattutto se paragonato al listino di altri G-Shock), ma credetemi vale tutti i soldi che costa!
