 Casio GWM-5600-1AER DST Update



Hello fellow Casio lovers, owners and collectors from around the world. I hope you are all well!

As some of you may be aware, some of the Countries in the World follow a DST change in time. In the UK, this will be one hour plus in Spring and back one hour in Autumn. DST stands for "daylight saving time" and has a history all of it's own. DST is mostly used in the northern hemisphere, but I am sure many Countries have their own version.

Therefore at this time of year, watch owners around the globe need to manually adjust their watch accordingly. From the humble Casio watch up to the heights of Rolex or Audemars Piguet, they will all need adjustment. This can be a nightmare for the luxury watch owner, as when the crown wheel is pulled from the watch to adjust or wind, the stem can quite easily snap. That's why owners of such watches have mechanical winders and never let the watch stop. Therefore, twice a year the mechanical watch owner risks damage to their watch. Few realise the risk until it is too late, ending with a broken stem and winder. Such mistakes can cost hundreds of £'s to repair and will also need a service.

With the little mechanical watch lesson over, I would advise to buy a Casio GWM-5600-1AER which will so everything you need, including an automatic setup of the DST depending on your Country you live in. The GWM-5610-1 is apparently the replacement to the GWM-5600 but having not owned one, I cannot say how good they are, but I have read excellent reports of this watch. 

I am in no way sponsored by Casio in any way shape or form. I only speak from experience I myself have had with my Casio watches. The GWM-5600-1AER was my best friend on the building sites for more than 10 years. Not many watches would survive, yet this watch did. Paint spills, cement, diesel, petrol, oil, plaster, diving in Spain and it's still here and kicking! It doe's have some scars, but it has aged well. 

My last words on this watch are, it's the best watch I have ever had and unlikely to be beaten on any level. The replacement model GWM-5610-1 are still available and cost around £99.99. However there are models used models from around £60, which could be a great investment.

A tough watch for a tough life and sets up the DST!!

Well Guy's, that's it for today and remember to adjust your watch (if you need to).

Thanks for reading and take care.

Hello, my name is Mr.B. I have started this blog as I have owned and loved (and still do) Casio watches for more than 40 years. I would like to explain the many reasons why I still own and wear a Casio Watch. I want to share details, upgrades and maybe a vintage Casio watch restoration post. I will also show you my humble, but very cherished Casio watch collection . I will also show my beloved and aged GW-M5600, I have owned and worn for the last 13 years. I will also be adding further watches to the collection and adding a detailed post for each and every watch. I also want to show you how to avoid a fake watch and what to look for when purchasing a Genuine Casio from any seller.

Casio AB-200 Databank Watch (Module 321)

Casio AB-200 Databank Watch (Module 321) 18/6/22 Hello fellow Casio watch enthusiasts, collectors and welcome to my post. As the title suggests, this post will be about the Casio AB-200 Data Bank watch. You may be aware (if you have read my previous posts), I have been looking for a good example for a long time now but finally, I have one on it's way to me. The actual watch is the one in the picture below and are the pictures I based my decision on to buy it. They are not the best pictures in the world and to be fair, the watch is not the best example of an AB-200 but it's the best I can afford at this moment. It is finished in silver with as best as I can see, has a white dial. I do believe the AB-200 silver came with either a white dial or a black dial. Whereas the AB-200G (gold) could come with a white, black or gold dial. To be honest I like the silver watch, both with either the white or black dial. I am just pleased to at last secured one! Another cool feature of this wat...

Casio AB-500 Data Bank Watch (Module 386)

 Casio AB-500G Date Bank Watch (Module 386)  23/1/2024 Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the world, I hope you are well. If you have read the post I wrote about watches that I am always searching for, you may know I have had the Casio AB-500 data bank on my want list for many years. There are some examples still around and for sale. However, they are normally very expensive and in very poor condition as you could image a 30 years plus Casio watch would be.  Therefore an AB-500 in excellent condition will command a price tag of around £500.   Is it worth that kind of money, well, it may be worth that to an avid collector and I have witnessed such purchases. However, I could never ever justify spending that much money on any watch.  Anyway, as I was saying I am always looking for rare Casio watches, with the AB-500 near the top of the list. Well, 2 days ago I found one that I could justify spending the money on, but it is in need of a lot of TLC. In this ...

Casio Watches I Would Love to Own Hello Casio owners and lovers from around the world. I hope you are all well. 12/4/2023 As the title suggest, this is a list of Casio watches I would love to add to my humble collection. Some are vintage watches, whilst some of them may be recent. There may also be future Casio watches that I may want, so the list will grow to include these watches.  Due to the ages of some of the watches, there is little information considering the functions of the watches to gather and report. I am also unsure of the year each watch was released and the cost of the said watch at that time. I do have some information about the watches, however this could prove to be inaccurate. If you have further knowledge of each watch, please leave the information in the comments section at the bottom and I will update the post asap. Let me begin, in no particular order. The first on the list is the beautiful and rare Casio AB-200. It is an analogue and digital watch. It also h...
