DW9052 Series | Men’s Digital Watch | G-Shock | 1/100 SEC Stop Watch | Countdown Timer | LED Light | 200M WR | Shock Resistant | Multi Alarm | Auto Calendar | Dual Time | 2 Yr Batt

The watch has lasted around 3 years and works flawlessly. The quality of this watch is unmatched for everyday wear. Most likely will buy another if this one ever gives out

This watch is awesome especially at the price point.

Solid, I've had mine for 9 years. Only had to change the band straps and battery. Perfect for gym, errands, no brainer toss on etc. Still stylish too!

Very nice watch fits well

I’ve had the 6900’s for years and just bought this. It looks great but lighter and “seemingly” less durable than when you strap on a 6900. I need durable as an outdoorsman, way-backwoods hiker, scuba/sky diver, lifelong martial artist, motorcycle rider and more like many of us that buy these watches. I’ve always hated the little constantly moving and useless for most second timers. And that’s where my problem comes in with this watch. When you’re life is on the move you need just a quick glance at the watch for time and date. The way the watch sits on my wrist, with its lighter weight than the 6900, and the dang useless timer right in the middle it’s just not doing it for me. But the 6900 has changed and I’m not sure about it. You can still get the other version of the 6900 but not on Amazon. Also something to think about is the covering on the setting buttons on this watch making easier on the fingers than the 6900 but to me 4 more things to go wrong. But the biggest concern and the one making me want to return and get the original 6900 is having to rotate this watch too far around for the time and date. It’s just the way it sits and I don’t have pencil wrists. At night it’s like martial arts moves using both of my hands using one to position the watch and the other to push the watches light while twisting my arm way around while the bear is asking what’s tonights date? Oh.. and the flashlight! But at least I know what time I….

Got these simply because the color scheme is close to my school colors to wear during March Madness (lol). Never disappointed by G-Shocks and these are very comfortable and wears well for a very cheap price.

Review This is a review and comparison of 3 very similar g shocks at very similar prices here on Amazon. The 5600, 6900, and 9052. If, like me, you like all 3 and can’t decide, this review is for you. I’ve posted this in the reviews of all three watches since it applies to all of them. I’ll start with the similarities: They are, functionally, the exact same watch. The only difference is the graphics/arrangement of the LCD. All three have the exact same mode button functionality. Press once for an alarm which can be set for a specific time as well as specific date and year. Press again for a countdown timer that can be set for up to 24 hours. The current time is also displayed on the screen which is a nice touch. Press again for the stopwatch. It does not have a lap counter but does have a split so you can record lap times manually or record first/second place finishes. The current time is also displayed on this screen which is, again, a nice touch. Press again to return to the home screen which displays the day, date, and time. The watch will beep with each press of the mode button but will beep differently when you make it back to the main clock screen letting you know you’ve made it through all the functions. 200m of water resistance which more than 99% of us will ever come close to needing. You can choose between 12 and 24 hour timekeeping and set the backlight to flash with the alarm, timer, and hourly chime. You cannot mute the button presses. Everything you just read applies to all three watches. Now for the differences and pros/cons of each. I’ll start by saying I don’t think any of these are better than the other as they are functionally the same. It really comes down to size and aesthetics. Starting with the 5600 - the OG. The 5600 is the closest to the original G-Shock and the most classic of the three. This is the most basic version but it comes in dozens of colors and variations. This particular model only comes in black which isn’t a bad thing. It goes with everything. It’s the smallest of the three and has the lowest height by far. If you have a smaller wrist, this is the one you want. It’s pretty thin as G-Shocks go, though not as thin as a 2100, and comes from a time before G-Shocks were the size of a truck tire. The current version was just re-released in 2024 and replaced the electro-luminescent backlight for a very bright, white LED. I still have the older EL version but prefer the LED better. It’s clearer and brighter in my opinion but both are fantastic. If you order one and receive the other (which seems to be common) don’t be upset. Both are completely visible in the darkest dark. I just prefer the LED. The 5600 is also the easiest to read of the three. The clock itself has the largest numbers and there are no ticking graphics taking up screen space. It’s a bit boring to look at (when compared to the others) but the most practical as there’s no wasted space. The 5600 is timeless and will never, ever go out of style. The 6900 is a big chungus. It is a chonky boy. If you have a small wrist, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s big, very tall, and the fixed curvature of the strap makes it look even bigger on wrist. But many of us buy G-Shocks for that massive wrist presence so if that’s your thing, then this is it. It’s the biggest of the three. The 6900 and 9052 both have dedicated backlight buttons on the front which I really appreciate. This one also just got an update replacing the EL backlight with a white LED. The same comments apply as for the 5600. Both are great but I prefer the LED. The 6900 has a bit more personality than the 5600. There are three dials across the top that are really only there for aesthetic reasons. They tick along with the seconds until they’re all full and then continue until they’re all empty. They’re not really anything you’d use to help tell the time. They just look cool. Their presence though, does make less space for the day, date, and time so those are a little smaller than on the 5600. I have pretty bad eyesight these days but I have no trouble reading it. I don’t consider it small but it is smaller than the 5600. One difference of note between the 6900 and the others is the plastic buckle. For some reason this model has a a plastic buckle while the other two have metal. I don’t see this ever being a problem. It’s really thick as watch buckles go. It’s worth noting that this model has been around since the mid 90’s and has always had a plastic buckle. They’re all G-Shocks and all meant for real world wear and abuse and the 6900 looks like the one that could endure the most mistreatment. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t actually know but it sure looks the toughest. The 9052 is the most unique of the three. It has a smaller diameter like the 5600 but has the chonky thickness of the 6900. If you have a smaller wrist but want a bigger watch, this should be your choice. Also if you have a medium to large wrist, any one of these is perfect. The face of the 9052 is probably my least favorite for a few reasons. The day and date are separated from the time by a very cool looking but functionally useless bar that ticks full and empty along with the seconds. This puts the day and date on a very slim section of the lcd which makes it harder to read. If you’re younger and have good eyesight you can probably disregard this but I find myself having to look a bit longer to focus on the date when I need it. One more thing of note about the date: The 6900 and 9052 lcd screens are recessed really deep into the watch case. This isn’t a factor on the 6900 but the 9052 case actually casts a shadow over the date on the lcd. If you’re not in the right lighting, half the numbers sit in shadow and I end up having to hit the backlight to read it. Not an issue but it is worth mentioning. The best thing about the 9052 is the fit. Of the three, it is the only one without a fixed strap. The strap swings freely on its spring bars and doesn’t have a pre-curve so it wraps right around your wrist and fits very comfortably. This not only makes it the most comfortable but also makes it wear the smallest, despite being much thicker than the 5600. But don’t worry, it makes up for this by having the widest strap. When I say it wears the smallest, I mean of the three. It does not wear small. The other two have a pre-curved strap that does not swing freely. This adds some shock protection if they are ever dropped and also makes the watch wear larger as it goes out from the watch before curving around your wrist. The 9052 also has the easiest buttons to press. Big flat pushers as opposed to typical very-small metal ones. No need to dig your fingernail into these things. The backlight is still an EL! The 9052 has not received the LED update yet, if ever. If you insist on an EL backlight, the 9052 is the one you want. As of today (4/4/25) it is only available with an EL. It is also the only one of the three that comes in different colors at around the same price. Look to pay double for a different version 5600 or 6900 if you want a color. The 9052 comes in a few color options all around the same price. I went with blue which is more of a bright navy and looks fantastic with the yellow accents and silver face. That’s it! That’s all I can think of anyway. These are three functionally identical watches so it just comes down to fit, size, and aesthetics. I have all three and don’t really have a favorite. I just let the heart decide before putting one on for the day.

I have always been fond of Casio G-Shock watches and this one is no exception. It looks great and the night light is bright enough to see clearly at night. The numbers are easy to read and setting the initial time and date is a breeze!

Gショックにしては小さいがそれも良い！ 少しいいのが欲しいと言う人にはいいと思う

Very good watch my grandson loves it it looks good on him

Everything is good

Bonito Casio, cómodo, esa combinación de negro y dorado, genial!!!

I m happy that product is not fake and it's actual G- shock watch from Casio, if you have used G-shock before then I don't think so I have to write anything about it here because it's understood. But still for new users I would say go for it blindly. G-shock is a very good product of Casio and I Have used it before and recently I bought it for my boyfriend. He loved it.
