        I wore the mi band for about a year keeping track of steps etc but decided it was a bit of a gimmick and I didn't need it.

              @ausbob71: Likewise…but I am slower as have mine for 3 years now and still going strong.
              I use mine for SMS notifications & alarms for the most part along with the light small form factor. Great devices but not be compared to Casio watches.

              • ausbob71 on 05/10/2020 - 19:04

                @Borg: Good device for the money not sure how accurate the heart rate monitor or sleep tracker was though. Maybe the mi band 4 is more accurate?

                • Borg on 05/10/2020 - 19:13

                  @ausbob71: I don't really use if for either so not sure as I mainly use as a guide to how lazy I am (stepwise) but mainly for notifications and alarms as I rarely carry my phone in my pocket. Accuracy of Miband 3 & 4 are about the same.

        This is by far and away the best watch out of those on sale. The most practical, wearable and comfortable with the longest lifespan.

        I'd strongly recommend the G-5600E over the classic DW-5600E. They're not strictly interchangeable as there are minor differences between the two (they use different modules) and cosmetically they look slightly different, but for all intents and purposes for the non-watch nerds out there, the G-5600E is the solar-powered version of the DW-5600E.

        For the price difference between the two (usually $15-20 dollars), the solar cell means you'll get at least one if not two decades out of the G-5600E on the original battery whereas the DW-5600E will usually last around 6 years.

        The G-5600E is also a bit nicer to use owing to its more modern heritage (released in 2009).

        The module inside the DW-5600E hasn't changed one iota since 1996 so a lot of the older Casio G-Shock quirks that have long since been phased out in newer generations are still present:

        • Lacks world time mode.
        • Lacks silent mode (to turn off beeps/chimes).
        • Smaller, harder to read font (on a physically-smaller LCD).
        • Pressing the "Adjust" button once enters time-setting mode, which makes for a lot of annoying accidental presses, versus the now universal 3-second hold all Casio watches use.
        • The backlight button is bottom-right mounted instead of the now much more common top-right mounted.
        • The order in which you cycle through the watch modes is also anachronistic compared to modern G-Shocks.
        • agentsmith1999 on 04/10/2020 - 23:11
          +2

          G-5600E really is one of the best all rounder watches. It's comfortable to wear all day and tough enough that you don't have to worry about breaking it when working in the garden.

        • Pacolito on 05/10/2020 - 00:15

          Great post, thanks for that.

          Looks like band is higher quality on the G series, which is a big plus in my books.

            @sk3iron: For a $10 - 20 dollar saving? Not worth risking the hassle of picking up a fake/used watch.

      I agree and brings be back childhood memories and owning a Casio watch (all we could afford) and the fancy LCD screens with back light. Then as we started working could splash out on a fancy Seiko…………..ah the good old days.
      Back then however, the looked all fancy and high tech. These day's, they just look like I borrowed my kids watch and are much chunkier (ug). I suppose they are still selling well being cheap(ish), hardy & reliable and not so much about looks. A tad overpriced though.

    • boozed on 05/10/2020 - 13:58

      The classic squares are not that big but you're right about some of the range.

      They are great for yard work and mountain biking though. I understand they're also popular in some countries' armed forces.

      • Gnostikos on 05/10/2020 - 14:15
        +1

        I understand they're also popular in some countries' armed forces.

        Pretty much all of them, including the most elite tier-one special operations units like Delta, the SAS, Navy SEALs, etc along with tactical police units and law enforcement in general. Hence why they had Bradley Cooper wearing a DW-6600 in American Sniper, which the real-life Chris Kyle actually wore in Iraq and which was issued to Navy SEALs at the time. This was even a trend as far back as 1993; something journalist Mark Bowden remarked on it in his book Black Hawk Down, that Delta were known for wearing Oakley sunglasses and G-Shocks.

        If you look at the wrists of any Western coalition service members (especially US) serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in photos or video footage, 9 times out of 10 they're wearing either G-Shocks or Proteks.

        Not to mention, the DW-5600E/C is well known for being one of the few watches that NASA has certified for use in space.

        There's a reason G-Shocks keep being chosen for these occupations/professions; they actually do live up to their reputation as being indestructible.

        • boozed on 05/10/2020 - 21:22

          Yeah their popularity in the US military is well known but I couldn't find much information about anyone else's. Some militaries even still have standard issue field watches!

  • sabouk on 05/10/2020 - 09:07

    Bought a solar version second hand off of Ebay for ~A$100 in 2013, haven't had to charge it till this day. Very durable, although my one is analog, highly recommend although it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing watch.

  • roastchook on 05/10/2020 - 15:42

    Is it possible/easy to replace batteries yourself, or do you need to go to a 'watch place'?

    • capslock janitor on 05/10/2020 - 16:16

      since it's digital i would only assume it has some tiny ass screws for diy, could be wrong

    • Gnostikos on 05/10/2020 - 16:33

      You can definitely replace the batteries in cheaper Casio watches yourself (more expensive models are a lot more complicated and really should only be done by trained watchmakers) however ensuring the watch is airtight and waterproof after you replace the seals and caseback is the main problem.

      Unless you have one of those waterproofing/vacuum testers like these that can test up to the rated resistance (which for G-Shocks is usually 100/200 metres and waterproofing testers that can go to those pressures are quite pricey) you really can't be certain your watch isn't going to be bricked the next time you go for a swim (or won't develop condensation issues when exposed to very high temperature differentials in a short period of time).

      Honestly you're better off just finding a reputable and cheap enough watchmaker to do it for you; given how infrequently Casio G-Shocks need battery changes, especially the solar-powered models, a $50-70 dollar cost over a span of 5 years or more is really nothing. My go-to watchmaker I get all my batteries replaced at charges me $30 dollars for the battery replacement and waterproofing test.

    Why is it so important to know the time and the day of the week? Literally everyone has a smart phone in their pocket or is not far from a device that displays the time. A few $ more and you can purchase a smart watch, which enables you to communicate with humans on the other side of the Earth in multiple languages just by talking into your wrist.

    • ausbob71 on 05/10/2020 - 19:46

      I don't have my phone on me at work and having the time as well as date at the turn of my wrist is convenient.

    • MBloxx on 05/10/2020 - 20:21

      I wouldve downvoted you for being so ignorant, but my account is less than a month old

    • Gnostikos on 05/10/2020 - 20:33

      Let's see: pulling out an awkwardly-sized, sometimes-difficult-to-reach slab out of a pocket/bag dozens of times a day versus turning and raising my wrist ever so slightly to instantly know the time?

      I'll take arguments no one with common sense would make for $1,000 dollars.

      You realise not everyone works at a desk job where their phone is within a 30cm radius of them at all times? Ever worked on a mine site? How about a construction site? How about operating heavy machinery? How about surfing? Maybe kayaking? Maybe try not assuming everyone lives exactly the same lifestyle you do?

      which enables you to communicate with humans on the other side of the Earth in multiple languages just by talking into your wrist.

      Oh good. Another disposable miniature computer to carry around on my person and have to remember to charge constantly, which will become a frequent point of frustration due app/OS crashes and weird sync issues when you need it to work because it inherits all of the flaws of modern day computers and which I'll throw out precisely when the non-replaceable battery stops holding charge? Colour me convinced.

      • ForkSnorter on 07/10/2020 - 18:18

        Fair enough. I understand a simple watch can be useful to some people. But I think your interpretation of the smart watch is a little biased. Plenty of people are easily capable of telling the time from their smart watch while simultaneously being able to respond to work emails, answer calls, check their heart rate while exercising, etc., and are also able to easily remember to charge their watch at the end of the day (since most people don’t like sleeping with a watch on, plus they have to charge their smart phone anyway). My Apple Watch 3, which I’ve now sold, easily lasted for 2 days of full use, and 3 days of light use. It was 2 years old and never had a problem with the battery.

        • Borg on 07/10/2020 - 23:19

          Its why I gave away my New Samsung watch……….it only just made 3 days between charges. Way too much hassle. Stuck to the basic MiBand4 which I get a month between charges.
          Either of these however wouldn't be a good choice for out on the Field unlike the Casios which are indeed a tad hardier. Having said that, neither are a good apples for apples comparison.

    • rad000 on 06/10/2020 - 08:09

      I wear my Casio 24/7 and don't even think about it. I'm not worried about it breaking or getting scratched, or keeping it charged.
