Connect to the app. Easy and damn. I will buy a yellow.

Yes, that's ok for the yellow GA-B2100 but not the Camo GA-2100 which is not Bluetooth.

Looks like it’s locked to US format like other squares

Really liking this one. I feel it’s the watch Vader would have chosen silver, through black numbers, it’s quite cool.

I’d been after one of these for a while - had no idea they came packaged like this!







I just wanted it because I like the colours

The case is China market only, rest of world it came in the usual g-shock tin.

[r1ch]

That packaging is mental! Are they limited edition?

I haven't bought a G Shock for 11 years, my last one is still excellent and I wear it every week. I've been after a square G Shock now for some time. Argos have the 5610 on sale for £79.99 so thought i'd treat myself.

Possibly old stock, pre the updated GW5610U.
Not a lot of difference granted, but having UK date format DD,MM is a biggy for me.

I think it will be the updated one because I had to return a 10 month old one to Argos (with the US date format) and got the updated module as a direct replacement about a month ago.

That being said they could well be running down 'old' stock. As well as a UK date format option the new module keeps the time display when you are in timer and stopwatch which I don't think the previous module did.

I'll find out and post when i've collected it later. To be honest i'm used to the mm/dd from my old 6900.

[r1ch]

Looks like it is the older version so yes they might well be running down old stock. I think it’s also available on an Amazon for £79.99.

My 6900 makes the 5610 look like a kids watch



First impressions are it’s a bit small, even though I’m used to wearing a 40mm Hamilton normally. I definitely like the look of it though. Will see how I feel about it over the coming days. I’m just used to a hefty g shock I guess!

I picked up these two recently. Firstly a GW-B5600SGZ-7 or Five Tiger Generals Listed Edition. I quite like the white and may use it like that in the summer but for now I've swapped the bezel and strap to black. I purchased this one because I like the tan and orange on the face. I didn't get a funky box like keith2.2 did above though.









The other is a GDF100BTN which was a collaboration with with Burton Snowboards in 2012. Nice pale blue details and a comfy fabric strap. A decent price at £90, especially considering it's unused and as new.

I like the Burton collab above.

Not sure about the new Frogman. Yours for £519

and inevitably…





Not had a chance to fiddle with it yet but don’t mind if it’s the older version. I’ve worn G shocks for so long I’m used to reading the date in the American format. It would be more confusing to have a G Shock displaying the date the “correct “ way…


ETA was given the option of date format but will keep it in traditional “G Shock format” I think. Know where I am then…m

I was tempted by that Frogman but this 5610 has scratched the new watch itch for considerably less outlay. So in a way it’s saved me money. Hasn’t it…?!

No multi-band 6 or bluetooth. Bit of a poverty spec for £500!

They’re just a brilliant watch. Perfect form and function.

That looks like the updated version anyway.

Stealth Wednesday for me.

Indeed. A classic now as well I’d say. I certainly don’t need yet another g shock - especially as I already have the negative display version of this - but I couldn’t resist at the price. Not the first time this forum has cost me money

So it seems. Good old Argos!

Fair play, glad you like it and saved money (sort of) in the process! the 5610 is excellent value for money and I think looks really cool. I'm enjoying the atomic clock feature, never had a watch that is bang on time all of the time. I've worn it every day since buying it.

Its funny, G Shocks are the only watches people want to talk about, some random guy stopped me asking about my G Shock the other day and ended up having a bit of a chat about them, none of my other watches attract any kind of conversation. Made me think they probably have one of the biggest followings.

Had mine just over 6 years now, have been worn at least all day 6 days a week.

The ulitmate wear it and forget it watch.

Cracking price on the new GD-400 version, there are discount codes around to reduce the price even further - i paid £51 all in.

I just love the GD-400 and already have 4 different versions!
