Had g shocks in the past, but keep coming back to the squares, the OG. The descendants of the 5000 series, old school. Light, comfortable & pretty indestructible.

Nice! Do you have the modern classic 5600 series? Those may be, I am no expert.

DCheeta · 4 May 2020, 04:25 PM

Me too, now. I used to be a 6900 guy until I finally got my first square last year. Now I realize why they’re THE g-shock to have. They’re just so perfect.

Been wearing a 5600J in recent days. Just ordered a GW-B5600 which has Bluetooth. Love how easy they are to wear and you don't have to worry about knocking them about

Nice Bob

1William · 4 May 2020, 09:14 PM

Great watches.

Devildog · 5 May 2020, 04:27 AM

Can’t beat a square!

GW-5000, GW-B5600 and GMW-B5000

Although this is getting a lot of wrist time just now

I actually wear my DW5600-BB more than any of my watches. I love it’s simplicity, and history. I’m contemplating on getting the army green DW. Just good, affordable watches.

Those in the UK Argos are selling the GW-B5600-2ER for £54.99. Seems a great price to me

Picked it up today! Love it although it does feel quite plasticky and light. Perhaps I'm used the metal ones but I think I'll feel less conscious about knocking it about. It's crazy that it has the exact same features for so much less

gnuyork · 9 May 2020, 09:50 AM

I own one G shock, and it's a square:

i've almost pulled the trigger multiple times on this one for the red face. what's it like in person? hard to read or no?

scarlet knight · 22 May 2020, 02:54 AM

I find negative displays hard to read.

Dan Pierce · 22 May 2020, 03:33 AM

For some reason I read hookers on Time Square.

It’s about the same as any of the other negative display Gs, so absolutely fine in good light or the right angle but a fair bit harder to read than the positive displays.

I’ve got a mix of both and on balance prefer the aesthetics of the negatives.

As with any negative display, I find it’s all about the angles and light

The negative displays don’t work for me. They are ok for secondary features like day or date windows, but for time, I prefer a positive display or analog hands.

The auto light helps.

You made me buy another one! I love the squares because they are traditional looking, fit comfortably and don't have the busy faces with all the unnecessary doohickeys (that I personally don't need) and extra plastic that make other G-Shocks look hokey and juvenile to me.

When I saw that "Adrenaline" red Bluetooth on a simpler looking square, I was like whoa that's cool! A few YouTube videos and reading reviews later and I pulled the trigger to add to my square collection. Just the right number of features and neat technology. Got mine at Macy's with free shipping and $20 off with "Macy's Money" I had from previous purchases.

So I thank you. My wallet does not.
