The Casio G-Shock DW5600MNC watches are now available in North America and Europe. These cloth band models were revealed in February 2026 and went on to launch in Japan in March.

You can now buy the Casio G-Shock DW5600MNC-1, DW5600MNC-7A8 and DW5600MNC-8A2 watches at the brand’s online store in the US for $165 each. These watches are also available in European countries like the Netherlands, Spain and Germany, where they are known as the DW-5600MNC-1, the DW-5600MNC-7A8 and the DW-5600MNC-8A2. In this market, they retail for €159 each.

Casio’s G-Shock DW5600MNC series watches have comfortable straps made from stretchy polyester, with a FIDLOCK magnetic buckle that you can operate with one hand. The DW5600MNC-1 is an all-black model with a negative (black background display). The DW5600MNC-7A8 is a light gray variant with neon yellow accents, while the DW5600MNC-8A2 has a dark gray bezel and a multicolored strap. Both of these models have typical light background displays. Plus, each has a resin casing and is water resistant to 200 m.

Features of the G-Shock DW5600 include a 1/100th second stopwatch, hourly time signals, a multifunctional alarm and a countdown timer. Users can choose between 12 and 24 hour time formats for the digital display, and the calendar is fully automatic. On top of this, they are expected to run for around five years on the CR2016 battery. It remains to be seen when the Casio G-Shock DW5600MBC cloth band watches will be released in the UK; they are confirmed as “coming soon” with an RRP of £139 in this market.
