I was recently without a cell phone for a few days, and it made me reevaluate my relationship with watches, but also, to a wider extent, our connection to the online world. Around the same time, I decided to upgrade my classic G-Shock DW56001-E to a new 2022 release—the G-Shock DW-B5600G-1, a bold and functional watch that syncs to your phone with an app. These coinciding events have revealed to me why Casio and G-Shock are the watch industry's last and best hope against the ever-growing dominance of the Apple watch. In this video, I review the G-Shock DW-B5600G-1, compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both, share the history of smartwatches, discuss why an Apple watch shouldn't be the only watch you own, and ultimately, why G-Shock is the better choice.
