For the past 10 years, I’ve thought that mechanical watches had so much charm and passion, while quartz watches were soulless devices. I picked up this watch to be a “beater” when my automatic watches weren’t suitable, but I’ve actually grown quite fond of the GW-M5610. What’s not to love about a light, small, tough-as-nails, super accurate, solar watch?
I got this watch from Amazon on April 5, 2019 (in the USA). First thing I noticed was that it did not come in the hexagonal tin box that a lot of older online reviews show, but a flimsy cardboard box with a simple display holder. At first I was annoyed, but honestly the box would have just been tucked away in storage with other watch boxes that never see any use.
After unboxing, you’ll find a warranty card, a handful of manuals in various languages, and the watch in a simple plastic bag (no protective stickers on the crystal or caseback, no fancy hangtags). I immediately checked out when the last sync time was (bottom right button), which happened to be on November 1. Assuming this sync happened before it was packaged up, that meant it was sitting for 5 months in the dark, but it still showed high power (as indicated at the bottom of the display, where there’s a L, M, H meter). Yay for power saving mode!
Next step was to set the timezone. The manual states that the default timezone after losing all power is Tokyo. I assumed this was what the watch would be shipped with, but mine was set to NYC by default. I’m curious if watches sent to the USA are set this way, or if someone played around with this watch. After selecting my local timezone (Pacific), it was only 2 seconds slow! I know quartz watches are accurate but that is phenomenal, especially considering the manual states +/- 15 seconds per month without a signal calibration.
Speaking of signal calibration, I’ve had my watch automatically sync about every other night in Seattle. I have an old Casio Waveceptor (10 years old) that never syncs anymore. I don’t know if that’s because it has become defective, or the GW-M5610 can pick up a weaker signal strength. Regardless, there’s no need to worry about missing a few nights in a row of syncing, as it’ll still be very accurate.
The caseback on mine was machined and not stamped, with crisp engraving (FYI, I removed the serial number from the image, normally found on the bottom of the caseback). As far as I know, only older models will have the stamped, rounded version. While on the wrist, it feels just as comfortable as any rounded caseback I’ve had.
I really like that the resin strap is already pre-rounded/pre-shaped. I’ve had tough, flat rubber/plastic/resin straps on other watches that were incredibly uncomfortable (I’m looking at you, SKX009). On my 6.25″ wrist, the watch strap keeper is right at the end, and there’s maybe 1/4″ excess strap sticking out. If your wrist is smaller, you’ll unfortunately have more strap sticking out, which will probably be a bit annoying.
Other reviews state that the A-EL feature didn’t work on their watches, which is the auto-illumination when you tilt your wrist up. Mine works flawlessly. I’m curious if this was an issue with earlier models that has since been addressed.
The only minor annoyance I can find with this watch is the non-standard lug width/strap. I think the stock strap fits it perfectly (both in terms of comfort and aesthetics) and have no desire to change it, but it’s proprietary. That being said, I’m sure it won’t be hard to find a replacement strap if needed.
The GW-M5610 has a perfect blend of retro styling, useful functions, durability, comfort, and laziness (it sets itself!).

First G-SHOCK I’ve had and I am very pleased with it. Being radio-controlled it keeps perfect time and being solar it doesn’t need batteries. From what I can tell it charges very easily. 20 BAR water resistance too so it’s fine for swimming, shower etc.

I did a lot of research on this watch. I’m a big fan of Casio. As soon as I found out that they made an Atomic watch, that’s also solar powered I was very interested. I kind of hummed and hawed over whether or not to purchase this. I decided to get it, and I’m really impressed with it. I really love the look of it. It’s a very cool 80’s design that pays heritage to the original 1983 Casio G shock, but with a modern twist. Such as the Atomic clock function, and the tough solar function. I really like the red line around it. I think it looks really cool, but I noticed in a lot of reviews that many people don’t like that line. Which if you want to get a different version of this watch that doesn’t have a red line on it, such as the all blacked out negative display version. You’ll pay nearly an extra $100 for it. Which I think is a little bit too steep just for a different colour. But, again this watch is the best value you’re going to find because it’s very rugged, and waterproof for up to 200 metres. I wanted to mention that I live about an hour away from Toronto, Canada, and I haven’t had any issue with picking up the signal from the Atomic clock in boulder, Colorado. Which I think is really impressive considering it’s well over 2000 kms from my location. This watch sets 6 times a day. Starting at midnight, and it will attempt to sink every hour on the hour until it’s received a signal. Once it receives the signal, it will stop sinking. It does one update a night, and it’s incredibly accurate. Sometimes it’s not successful, but 4 out of 5 times it’s worked. The best way to get it to sink is too leave it on a windowsill over night. That’s the only way I’ve been able to get it to sink. I have tried multiple times to get it to sink manually, but I have had no success. But, it’s been so good with it’s automatic sinking, that I’m not overly concerned about that. Overall, I’m really happy with it. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from a G shock watch. It’s fantastic, and I would 100% recommend this watch to anyone who loves tough, good quality watches with absolute precision. If you like the look of this watch, but don’t care about the Atomic clock feature, or the solar powered feature. You can always purchase the G-6500E-1 model instead for about half the price. And that model also doesn’t have the red line that people seem to not enjoy. It really just depends on what you’re looking for in a watch. In my opinion this model is worth the extra money because of the features that it packs.
