Casio G-Shock Owner Review : Robust, muscular and cool

A gem this G-shock DW-5900-1 with its unique retro digital style that hits the mark, this model was reissued in 2018 on the occasion of the brand's 35th anniversary. For the record, the DW-5900 was originally launched in 1990 and is also known as "3-Eyed" and "Walter" (as worn by John Goodman's character in "The Big Lebowski") I am a FAN. This was the first G-Shock with the three-eyed LCD design that would make its way onto the iconic and durable DW-6900 but not only that, in fact it was also used in space and notably on the wrist of astronauts during missions on the International Space Station and yes there is not only the SpeedMaster. I just bought it in February 2025. I find it really cool and visually fun probably thanks to its embossed dial and its nice depth... I feel like I went back 30 years to my teenage years, it makes me smile and brings back very good memories. Technically the model offers shock resistance, water resistance of 200 meters, world time (48 cities), a 1/100 second stopwatch (60 minutes in total with splitting), a countdown timer (24 hours), 5 alarms with 1 snooze alarm, an EL backlight with afterglow (1.5/3 seconds) and an estimated battery life of 5 years.
