Casio Men Digital Quartz Watch with Plastic Strap DW-H5600-1ER

Product Information

The stainless steel case back is dominated by the protruding sensor array, which measures heart rate and blood oxygen levels, but it never feels anything other than supremely comfy to wear.

Housed inside of the pretty sizable bezel is a memory pixel LCD display, which is similar screen technology used by Polar and Garmin on many of their watches. If you're a G-Shock fan, the DW-H5600 is an exciting proposition, as it combines some health and fitness tracking with that old-school G-Shock watch experience. Un difetto per me grave è rappresentato dai led dei sensori, la cui luce filtra tra la cassa ed il polso e di notte crea fastidio mentre si riposa a letto. Lediglich ein 60 Minuten-Timer und die Stoppuhr arbeitet auch nur im Sekundentakt wegen der Displayträgheit.

I prefer the look of the G Shock vs the Apple Watch – most people (except Casio enthusiasts) wouldn’t even know the Casio DW-H5600 is a smartwatch. The Casio G-Shock G-Squad DW-H5600-1ER is a new addition to the G-Squad family, targeting athletes and individuals interested in a healthy lifestyle. Indeed, the Casio G-Shock DW-H5600 is water-rated to WR20BAR (200 metres) and has the same shock-resistant features as all G-Shock watches. A prominent black digital display, protected by sturdy mineral glass, offers clarity and ease of reading. Unlike well-thought-out companion apps like Garmin's Connect, the Casio app feels rather clunky, with the homepage not acting as a dashboard but more like an advertising space for Casio.

Whether you're in the office, out in the field, or pushing your limits at the gym, this watch promises uncompromised performance in every scenario. Casio has been boosting the fitness tracking ability of its connected watches for a while, and the H5600 has similar functionality to the GBD-H2000 we reviewed recently, but here it’s wrapped up in a far more conveniently shaped case, with a step up in functionality compared to another, excellent connected square G-Shock, the GBD-200. Bio-based resin is said to use renewable and sustainable organic resources such as corn but is rugged and offers the same wearing experience as classic plastic G-Shock models. I had the all-grey H5600-1 model to test with its design-dominating resin band and shock resistant case that weighs 59g, measures in with a 51mm-sized case and is 17. Whether you run, walk or exercise, this watch will be a great help in setting up a training plan and making it easier to reach your goals.It’s still a proper G-Shock watch though, so it is shock resistant, vibration resistant, and water resistant to 200 meters, and you really will have to work very hard to destroy it.
