A modern massaging of the original square G-Shocks of the 80's. The atomic timekeeping is useful as you never have to adjust the time. The backlight is very brief and the automatic EL with wrist gesturing is wonky at best. Alarms, stopwatch and timer features come expected. Some caveats that may dissuade people from purchasing however. This watch is for smaller wrists. Daily sun is also needed to charge the battery enough to prevent the watch from going into deep sleep battery saving mode. It only wakes up after a day in direct sun. A good bargain if you can score one for under $100.

The watch is very small. I expected a much larger face. The 47mm advertised size is from band to band. It was deceiving to me. It's hard to read its so small.

After 6 weeks of ownership, I really, really like this watch. The resin band is comfortable, the notches are close enough for a good fit, and it is not excessively long; nor is the module itself too large or thick for my small wrists. The many features are easy to learn, useful, and usable - and quite customizable regarding connection with time broadcast, lighting, hourly chimes, 12/24 hr, and motion-activation of its backlight. The solar charging eliminates battery changes, and the charge lasts quite long. I am mostly in a low-light environment but it always, so far, indicates a "High" state of charge despite my frequent use the chrono, timer, alarms, chimes, and light. Whether low light, bright light, or dark, the display is very readable with good contrast - including while using the electrolum. I like the arrangement of information, accuracy (an obsession with me), fit, feel, and appearance. Furthermore, it's a G-shock. Also, though in many locations I'm sure the manual is correct and I'm just lucky near Louisville, KY, the nightly radio connection does not require me to take it off and leave it in one particular window facing west with no metal nearby - in fact, I almost never take it off and my reception signal strength is always highest and successful. I own several watches, and in a way I'm glad my Timex digital (with velcro band, and great display & features, has terrible time-keeping as it forced me to look elsewhere if I wanted a digital. I'm very happy with it, and this 40-year old dad is still driving his daughter nuts by pointing out how awesome it is. She even knows the city of the broadcast. :) Would not hesitate to buy again if I were to lose it.Read full review
Very nice classic style with updated internals (solar, atomic). You can't beat the value of this G-Shock, a regular 5610 without solar or atomic will cost you anywhere between 50-70 dollars. This watch is very comfortable and easy to wear, not too big nor too small. If you want a watch for work or play I recommend this G-Shock, it's great for just about all outdoor activities. I only take this watch off when I have a formal event to go to, other than that this great timepiece never leaves my wrist!

The watch is super comfortable to wear and read the time due to its lightweight and positive display with auto backlight. Classic design that goes well with a wide range of clothes and styles. I strongly recommend trying to get the GW5000 strap as it makes it even more comfortable. All the above makes it a great daily watch, whether for work or sports as it has timer and stopwatch functions, in addition to the well known G-SHOCK ruggedness. Its also solar so if you do wear it outside every now and then you'll never have to worry about the battery. Finally it is not expensive and very much worth the price. Overall very happy with the watch.
