Being a handy man, working with heavy machinery and tools, my husband Ryan tends to break his watch quite often. He ends up changing his wrist watch almost every year or so. Thus, I wasn’t in the least bit surprised when he came home last week with a cracked crystal and dead watch. As usual now the hunt for a new watch would begin. Ryan, let’s get you one of those Casio G-shock watches this time round, I suggested. At least it would last longer than the ones he had been using so far.
Liking the idea of a tough-as-nails daily wear watch, Ryan did some online research on Casio G-Shock watches and came up with the Casio G-Shock Illuminator Alarm ChronoDW-5600E-1V Men’s Watch. He purchased it from City Watches (https://www.citywatches.co.nz)
I think he must have been hugely influenced by what people were saying about this timepiece: It is a simple and reliable watch, not affected at all by the abuse it can be subjected to while doing hard, physical work. Whether digging, construction, yard work or mechanics, the Casio G-ShockDW-5600E-1Vcan take all the bashing in its stride without missing a beat.
In fact, one of the reviews even said that you could actually take this watch into space! Although, I doubt Ryan has any plans for space travel – the watch would most likely travel to his workshop or accompany him on his occasional adventure trips.
Back in the 80’s when the Casio G-Shock was released in the market, the rectangular case design of Casio watches spelled digital technology and were a novelty of sorts. Even today Casio has not forsaken the rectangular case design for its Casio G-shock series giving this watch a nostalgic 80’s vibe even in the present age.
The resin case and resin band of the Casio G-ShockDW-5600E-1Vcontribute to its superior ruggedness and durability. Using materials that can withstand a great degree of abuse, the Casio G-Shock DW-5600E is built to remain tough even in the most extreme situations. Functions offered include a chronograph, multifunction alarm, auto calendar and countdown timer along with a backlight.
the Casio DW-5600E-1V is 200m water-resistant and the crowning glory of course, is its superb shock resistant ability. Exactly the type of watch Ryan should have been using in the first place.
The Casio DW-5600E-1V is a large watch although the rectangular case design makes it look compact and fitting on the wrist. It is a rock-solid watch, great for a working day at the yard or the gym and I think, especially perfect for Ryan in his line of work. Also, it is an inexpensive option and provides great value for money.
Casio timepieces, especially the G-shock series work flawlessly for years. If you’re looking for an inexpensive beater watch look no further than the Casio G-Shock Illuminator Alarm ChronoDW-5600E-1VMen’s Watch.
