I’m flipping a Garmin Instinct Solar for this and a bike computer – every so often I like to go old school with my running/swimming watches and run by feel. And now you know how to keep the versions visually apart like a pro, let’s dive into the functional improvements of the module. At the end of the day you press the light button and it illuminates the whole face up to eligibly read the correct time full stop! The release of Casio's first watch in 1974 marked the official introduction of electronic watches to the world. The Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U-1ER is an improved version of the Casio's best-selling watch in the Czech Republic, the Casio GW-M5610-1ER.

Casio does not lag behind in modern technology either, as evidenced by models equipped with Bluetooth technology, the Tough Solar solar drive or the high-precision radio-controlled Wave Ceptor watch. millimeters in width, the G-SHOCK GW-M5610U-1ER is pleasantly compact and significantly smaller than watches from the MTG series, for example.

Note that some manufacturers include the crown (to set the clock) and the buttons when measuring the width, but we try to standardize all the watches by not including the crown as part of the measured width. Even a tacky cheap Skmei clone offers a prettier and more efficient backlight than this blinding low contrast led, that discourages using the auto light feature.

Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. The GW-M5610U-1ER is the spitting image of the first G-SHOCK and adopts even more design elements than the MR-G already did. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Whether in Europe, North America and Japan or in the outer reaches of Canada, Central America and China - once the watch has been set to the local time, it receives the relevant signal and shows the correct time wherever you are.

Even if some watches are not perfectly circle-shaped, we still use the term: diameter - and we only measure the case, completely ignoring the crown (even though some include it, in their measurements). The thickness - or height of the watch in profile - is indicated by measuring the watch from top to bottom as illustrated below. However, if it goes by subjective sense of beauty, I would prefer the MR-G with its shimmering titanium case.Behind the stainless steel caseback is a drive, which is surprisingly not identical to the SUPER MARIO G-SHOCK. With the pleasant exception — as said — that while using the timer-mode the home-time remains visible in the display. With some expectations on my part, the G-SHOCK GW-M5610U-1ER went into this test and the – admittedly somewhat unfair – comparison with the top model MRG B5000B-1DR.
