G-Shock watches are known for their bold, rugged aesthetics and extreme durability, but they’re not usually the first choice for those seeking a watch with robust fitness tracking capabilities. However, the company does have a solid offering in the G-Shock Move DW-H5600-1 that combines the best of both worlds: the ruggedness of a G-Shock and powerful fitness tracking. And with the watch currently down to its lowest price, it’s certainly worth a closer look.
The G-Shock Move DW-H5600-1 is currently marked down by 30% on Amazon, dropping from $299 to just $209.30. While it can often be found for $268 on Amazon, it has never dropped below $245, making this its lowest price ever. If you prefer something more striking, the DW-H5600-7 in white color is also on sale, currently marked down to $239.20 from its regular $299 price. Except for the color difference, both models are otherwise identical.

The G-Shock Move DW-H5600-1 is the most advanced watch in the 5000/5600 series. It’s also the first in the series to feature a Memory in Pixel (MIP) always-on LCD. In terms of fitness features, it can track steps, heart rate, cardio load, and sleep quality—even measuring sleep recovery and autonomic nerve status. Additionally, it can record your runs, walks, and other fitness activities and provide detailed distance, pace, and cardio load metrics in the companion Casio Watches app on your smartphone. All your favorite G-Shock features are also there, including 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, Super Illuminator LED light, world time across 38 time zones, and solar-assisted charging (only powers displaying watch time).
