CASIO G-SHOCK GM-5600UG-9DR DIGITAL GOLD BLACK WATCH

The GM-5600UG-9DR is the gold standard of G-Shock's metal-covered 5600 lineup — and it means that literally. A brushed gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel wraps the iconic square silhouette, delivering a boldly luxe presence that the all-black GM-5600UB-1 and stealth-toned GM-5600U-1 simply can't match. The contrast of warm gold against a matte black resin case and band gives this piece a two-tone authority that works equally well with streetwear and smart-casual fits. Four polished gold corner screws, gold "PROTECTION" lettering, and gold button labels complete a cohesive design language that looks far more expensive than its price tag.

Under the bezel, the GM-5600UG-9DR runs Casio's updated Module 3525 — a meaningful upgrade over the older 3229 found in earlier GM-5600 models. The key difference is the switch from an EL backlight to an LED Super Illuminator with afterglow, which is brighter, more even, and extends battery life from approximately 2 years to a full 5 years on a single CR2016 cell. You still get the full G-Shock toolkit: 200-metre water resistance, shock resistance, 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm with flash alert, and a full auto-calendar accurate to 2099.

Why You'll Love It

• The brushed-and-polished gold bezel delivers a luxury jewellery feel that resin-only G-Shocks can't replicate — at a fraction of the full-metal GMW-B5000's price.
• Black-and-gold is one of the most versatile two-tone combinations in menswear: it pairs with everything from black tees to navy blazers without clashing.
• Module 3525's LED Super Illuminator is noticeably brighter and more uniform than the older EL backlight — checking the time at 2 a.m. no longer means squinting.
• At 73 grams, the metal bezel adds presence without the wrist fatigue of a full-metal build. You feel it on the wrist, but forget it during a workout.
• Five-year battery life means no service visits for half a decade — a practical upgrade over the 2-year lifespan of the previous-generation module.
• 200-metre water resistance is rated for recreational swimming and surface water sports. Rinse it under the tap after a gym session, no second thought.

Key Features

• Gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel — Scratch-resistant metal armour protects the resin case beneath while adding visual weight and a tactile edge that plastic alone cannot deliver.
• Shock-resistant construction — The hollow resin inner case absorbs drops and impacts, keeping the module safe whether you're cycling, climbing, or fumbling your watch off the nightstand.
• LED Super Illuminator with afterglow — A bright, even white LED lights the entire display. The afterglow holds for a few seconds after you release the button, giving you time to read every digit.
• Flash alert — The LED pulses in sync with alarm, timer, and hourly signal buzzer tones, so you'll catch notifications even in noisy environments where sound alone might get lost.
• Full auto-calendar to 2099 — Handles leap years and month lengths automatically for the next 75 years. Set the date once and never adjust it again.
• 1/100-second stopwatch with split timing — Measure lap times and first-to-second-place intervals with precision, useful for interval training or timing tasks at work.
