Casio Men Digital Quartz Watch with Plastic Strap Black

Product Information

Yep. Totally. Though, whilst you are technically correct, these sort of changes can double, triple, and quadruple the price of this style of watch. That is, in terms of how Casio typically places things like sapphire, titanium, STN etc in higher models. So, that kinda moves it out of the "classic square" category for me. Adjustable date format (M.DD or DD.M) and adjustable day of week language (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian) Should I get a GW-5000U-1JF instead of the GWM5610U? I do prefer the more monochrome face of the 5000, and like the idea of the better construction. And a softer band could be nice. world time settings (48 cities), 31 time zones, the additional 2 time zones are for the cities of Fernando de Noronha (-2) and Kathmandu (+5.75)All the upgrades are a positive and may be difficult to resist.

The thing I have noticed compared to the GW-M5610U-1ER is that the strap is very much softer. I’ve read this comment from others previously and it really is true! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI think they are but will be interesting to compare against one advertised as 1JF. I had to comment. I’ve owned the 5610 for a year or so and then saw the images of this one (I was looking for a more monochrome design).

Not just another black G-Shock Square

The world-time function was the closer for me and ended my hunt for a dedicated, mechanical world-time watch. I was agonizing over adding yet another watch to my collection that would be single-purpose, and a relatively quirky one at that. The GW-5000U-1JF is a veritable Swiss Army knife. In the week I’ve owned it, I’ve found multiple uses for the stopwatch, timer, and alarm functions as well. And I’ve used the world-time function more often than I thought I would already. I may be at serious risk of a one-watch collection if I don’t start wearing another watch soon. The latest upgrade comes with some long asked-for changes, albeit pared to the core. Yet it also retains some of the best features of the original: the same dirt-cheap replacement bezel and strap that have been made for the past 10 years. DLC to resist scratches. Its shares the same module as non-steel watches that have been produced in far greater numbers, so replacements and spares are virtually guaranteed. Invisible solar cells in the watch convert light into energy and supply all functions. A rechargeable battery provides the necessary capacity for operation in poor light conditions.

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…..the older ones only display 1 world time I think, whereas the new ones let you select five pre-sets to scroll through (instead of scrolling through alllll the time zones on the older one). My core watches have been or are turning out to be relatively affordable, fun, and largely Japanese… Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. Stopwatch /Chronograph - 1/1 seconds, 24 hours - 1/100 seconds 1 hour - Elapsed time, split time, 2 finishes

I don’t have the original 5000 but have a 5610 and a bunch of DW5600’s. I do prefer the dd/mm option and it’s a great watch, just the alarm is so quiet like all the solar atomics and the display on my 5610 looks perhaps a tiny bit clearer. Time in all modes is what makes it for me - and it could be an ‘only G’ if I didn’t have about 40 others too!! The watch is 20ATM. This means the watch is suitable for diving. The watch comes with 2 Year Warranty. Home city time and world time display swap in world time mode by pressing the top two buttons (A and B) at the same time

Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. What is different is the construction. Yours is all resin – strap, case, and bezel. The GW-5000 has a steel case, tho the bezel and strap are still resin. BUT, the resin used on the GW-5000 is far better than what’s on the 5610, it’s more supple and comfortable. The 5610 resin feels more plasticy wereas the GW-5000 feels more like a high quality rubber. Thanks for the replies, the colour scheme is certainly one of the nicest I’ve seen…I’m teetering on the edge…You owe it to yourself - it’s Christmas I then went with the GW-5600 that linked through to my iPhone which I quite liked - but I still hankered after the simplicity of the self contained GW-5000.The 5000U is sound and satisfying. Whether I'm sat at my desk, out walking, going to the store, driving, airports, desert, forest, ocean, whatever, it's wonderfully constant. You can get it wet, covered in dirt or sawdust or sand, bang it, drop it, leave it outside on the lawn all night - and it'll just keep on doing what it does flawlessly. And for those who know about watches, it has a fascinating heritage and design ethos. Individualistic. Retro chic. Tough. Bullet-proof reliability. I have the GW-M5600 (predecessor of the GW-M5610) the GMW-B5000-G1 and since yesterday also the GW-5000U-1.

time zones (48 cities +coordinated universal time), daylight saving on/off, Home city/World time city swapping I was excited to see the 3495 module as I sorely miss an adjustable seconds countdown timer in the 5610. So, it is worth it for me to upgrade just for that feature.I don’t know of anyone who does it commercially, but you can find out more about the process on Google.
