The Casio G-Shock DW-5600UE-1DR represents the quintessential evolution of the iconic square case design that has defined G-Shock since its inception. This digital quartz timepiece features a rugged black resin case and bracelet, engineered to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining the shock-resistant construction that made the 5600 series legendary. The multi-function digital display provides instant access to dual time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, and five daily alarms with hourly time signal, all illuminated by a crisp LED backlight for visibility in any condition.
Housed within its 48.9mm case, the DW-5600UE showcases an updated module 3525, delivering enhanced display clarity and improved legibility compared to earlier iterations. The mineral crystal protects the negative LCD display, while the watch's 200-metre water resistance ensures reliable performance whether you're swimming, diving, or caught in a downpour. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this legendary timepiece as authorised retailers of CASIO watches, ensuring you receive a genuine product backed by full international warranty coverage.
The DW-5600UE-1DR runs on a CR2016 battery with an impressive five-year life expectancy, minimising maintenance requirements and maximising reliability. Its 52-gram weight ensures comfort during extended wear, while the classic square case profile sits perfectly on wrists of all sizes. This is a tool watch in the truest sense—functional, legible, and utterly dependable. Should you require battery replacement or any adjustments, our watch servicing and repairs team stands ready to assist with professional care from qualified technicians.
Whether you're drawn to the DW-5600UE for its heritage, its technical capabilities, or its unmistakable aesthetic, this G-Shock delivers performance that has been proven across four decades of production.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the DW-5600UE and the classic DW-5600E?
A: The DW-5600UE features the upgraded module 3525, which provides a noticeably crisper and more legible display compared to the module 3229 found in the DW-5600E-1V. Both watches share the same iconic case design and shock-resistant construction, but the UE variant offers improved visual clarity and enhanced digital display quality.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Absolutely. With 200-metre water resistance (20 ATM), the DW-5600UE-1DR is rated for recreational diving, swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. The screw-down caseback and robust resin construction ensure water integrity even under challenging aquatic conditions.
Q: How long will the battery last, and where can I get it replaced?
A: The CR2016 battery provides approximately five years of operation under normal use. When replacement is required, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our qualified technicians can replace the battery, pressure-test the watch, and ensure continued water resistance. We recommend professional battery replacement to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist comfortably?
A: The DW-5600UE features a compact 42.8mm case width with a 48.9mm lug-to-lug measurement, making it suitable for wrists ranging from small to large. The flexible resin strap adjusts easily, and at just 52 grams, the watch wears remarkably light for all-day comfort. We encourage you to try it on in person at our Johannesburg showroom.
Q: What does the LED backlight illuminate, and how is it activated?
A: The LED backlight illuminates the entire digital display, making all functions—time, date, alarms, stopwatch—visible in low-light or dark conditions. Activate the backlight by pressing the dedicated illumination button on the left side of the case. The afterglow provides several seconds of visibility after release.
Q: Is this a genuine Casio G-Shock with full warranty?
A: Yes. Cassim & Co. is an authorised Casio retailer, and every DW-5600UE-1DR we sell is 100% genuine and comes with a 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects. Purchasing from an authorised retailer ensures authenticity, warranty validity, and access to professional after-sales support.
Q: Can I wear this watch during extreme sports or heavy impact activities?
A: The G-Shock DW-5600UE is specifically engineered with shock-resistant construction designed to withstand impacts, vibrations, and harsh conditions. The cushioned internal structure protects the module from shocks in all directions, making it ideal for extreme sports, construction work, and any high-impact environment.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Clean the resin case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or chemical solvents which may degrade the resin material.
- Do not operate the buttons while the watch is underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified technician when the display dims or becomes difficult to read. Professional replacement ensures proper resealing and water resistance testing.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from magnetic fields, chemicals, and extreme humidity.
- If the watch sustains a significant impact or is dropped, have it inspected by our service team to ensure internal components remain undamaged.
- The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or hard materials that may mark the crystal.
