The G-Shock GW-M5610 arguably holds the title of best G-Shock ever. It’s important to emphasize how often that fact is argued. The GW-M5610 iterates the classic square G-Shock design with Tough Solar and Multiband 6 functionality, and an updated module that displays the current time in other modes.
So why haven’t I reviewed the 5610 until now?
Analog watches can be precisely indicate the minute as well as a digital watch so long as the minute hand extends all the way out toward the perimeter and clearly point to a distinct mark. The Citizen Promaster Land U822 is such a watch.
So there I was changing the oil on the Detroit Diesel and Rene thought it was funny that my expensive Citizen Promaster Land was rubbing against the leaf springs of the Big Rig. So he grabbed my phone, hit record, and I gave the combination watch an inpromptu tough test.
A lot of commenters asked why I would do such a thing. Good question. There’s two reasons.
In a surprise to no one, the Casio limited edition Back to the Future calculator watch sold out and quickly appeared on eBay at a huge markup.
Casio emailed me at 9:15 to announce its availability. On a whim I gave it a shot to buy one at 9:22. In those few minutes all the units were sold out!
You know, not enough watch reviewers spend time analyzing a watch’s buckle. Well at JimKinkade.com, we’re not typical. So I made an entire YouTube video about the buckle on the Citizen Promaster Land U822. Yes, it’s that nice.
Of course, the video above is a short. So it’s not a feature length video about the buckle. But I insist, this buckle is nice.
