If you like the F91w but want something beefier, the DW5600 has the cachet of being rated space-worthy by NASA and looks similar but bigger. Costs about $50, not $12 though.
- rwmj 6y agoWouldn't the next logical choice on the "beefiness scale" be a G-Shock? (Personally I can recommend the GAW-100B-1AER for about $100)
- SamReidHughes 6y agoThe DW-5600 is a G-Shock.
- nabla9 6y agoI have had GW-M5600 for years. It has all you need from a watch and nothing more. It's almost perfect watch. 1. It's small and looks like G-shock classic and has typical C-shock features. 2. Solar powered. 3. Multi-band 5 timekeeping from atomic clocks in the US, EU or Japan. I set the time once after I bought it and just switch daylight savings time twice a year. The only issue is that it needs integrated strap specific to the model, not generic one. Casio straps for G-shocks break in everyday use in every 5-6 years. Durable stainless steel strap costs $100, roughly the same as the watch itself.
- droidno9 6y agoThis is my go-to everyday watch. Have had it for over 10 years and it never skipped a beat. I've had dozens of watches cycling through my collection throughout the years, GW-M5600 has been the only one that I'd never considered letting go of. When the straps break, I'll just go with a good black Nato strap. If I had somehow lost this watch, I'd buy another one without hesitation. My only real complaint is the countdown timer is only 1 hour. There are times I could use a 24-hour countdown timer. A minor nitpick is the watch's thickness is just a tad too think to be worn under shirt cuffs. If Casio would ever release a 25-30% thinner version with the same features, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
- nabla9 6y ago> I'll just go with a good black Nato strap. How do you attach Nato strap to GW-M5600? With those weird adapters? https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/gw-5600-nato.194176/#lg=thread-194176&slide=1 https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/gw-5600-nato.194176/#lg=t... Nato straps just don't go into integrated straps. I have tried.
- wirthjason 6y agoI’d love to get more G-Shocks in this [style](https://g-shock.jp/products/origin/gmw-b5000/ https://g-shock.jp/products/origin/gmw-b5000/) but they are too damn expensive. $100 is my range for a watch but some of these are $500+! I don’t know why Casio charges so much. I’d think that if they reduced the price then people would buy more. The other annoying thing about G-Shocks is the band. I have a all-black model with a clasp link band. I love it. It’s super easy to remove and put back on when I’m using they keyboard.
- slim 6y agothey are solar, stainless steel, with no moving parts. which means they are practically indestructible without any need for maintenance. that's why they are sold at that price point
- skripp 6y agoThere are kits on Aliexpress/Taobao (I'm guessing Amazon as well) where you can convert any 5600/5610 to a metal bracelet. It has the casio and g-shock branding, so you have to be OK with a bit of light piracy. =) I did it last year and the version I got was really high quality. The buttons are a bit small on 5600/5610 though, so they are a bit harder to press.
- JacobDotVI 6y agoThere is also the G-SHOCK limited edition DW5600NASA20 with NASA styling https://www.gshock.com/watches/limited-edition/dw5600nasa20 https://www.gshock.com/watches/limited-edition/dw5600nasa20
