Deal | Casio’s iconic square G-Shock DW5600UE gets a massive discount in new sale
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense square G-Shock on a budget, the DW5600UE-1V is hard to beat. It may not have fancy features like Bluetooth connectivity or radio-controlled time adjustment found on other models, but it still remains one of the most reliable and utilitarian workhorses in the 5000 series. And with the watch currently enjoying a massive 35% discount on Amazon, there's never been a better time to grab this classic G-Shock square.
The Casio G-Shock DW5600UE-1V has dropped to just $48.92 on Amazon, down from its list price of $74.95. On Casio.com, this model goes for $99.95, which makes this deal look even more enticing. We’ve seen this watch drop to as low as $35, but that was three months ago, and the deal was only live for a few hours—not to mention, a lot has changed since then.

At $48.92, the G-Shock DW5600UE-1V is a fantastic watch for anyone looking for the classic square styling or their very first G-Shock. It’s a pretty lightweight watch, weighing just 52g. The case, bezel, and band are made out of resin, and there’s mineral glass on the front protecting the display. As you would expect, it’s also shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 200 meters.
This is an upgraded version of the DW5600E and comes with a new 3525 module. The switch from the traditional electroluminescent backlight to a white LED may not please everyone, but there’s also a clear upside: the DW5600UE boasts more than double the battery life, lasting up ot 5 years compared to just 2 years on the 5600E.
If the lack of solar charging and Multi-Band 6 are a dealbreaker for you, you may want to check out the GWM5610U-1, which offers these features while retaining the classic square styling.
