What customers say about "Key Specs"
Casio G-5600E-1JF G-SHOCK Tough Solar Watch
  • So I like this watch for the following reasons: it's solar powered, it's meant to take a lickin' and keep on tickin' (vis a vis G-shock)
  • This is a great watch. It keeps time and provides timing and alarm functions with no fuss.
  • Can be worn casually as its mid-sized and very light weight. Plus it charges with Solar energy, so this will probably last atleast 5 years without any service required.
  • Wow, this is just an amazing watch from casio, luv it, looks and style is great, it really suits my small wrist.
  • Most of the G shock's are either big, bulky or too complicated, but this is just the right size for people having smaller wrists.
Casio DW5600E-1 G-Shock
  • Never have to worry about somebody spilling their seventeenth Diet Coke refill on my arm and ruining it.
  • Casio in a very affordable sports, work, or everyday design. This watch s something of a classic...and it meets my needs perfectly...I hope Casio never stops making this terrific watch!
  • I bought this watch for my boyfriend and he loves it. He wears it everyday, all day, even in the shower.
  • This watch does keep great time and is tough as nails. It is a basic watch that displays time, date, countdown timer, alarm, and has a light.
  • I wear it every day and also dive with it. It is a simple design and does not bulge out like many of the newer Casios.

Casio DW5600E-1 G-Shock
  • I work in the restaurant business and needed a daily driver that could take a beating. This watch fits the bill perfectly!
  • Same watch I had purchased 40 years ago and I think same price. Great tough watch. Worth the money.
  • As advertised, this is just about the most durable ready-for-anything watch you can buy with all the popular features, digital accuracy and Casio reliability

  • This watch is very durable and can take the hard bumps.
