Is the DW-5600E worth it over a cheaper digital watch?

Yes if you need 200m water resistance and real shock protection. A basic digital watch is lighter on the wallet but will not take the same abuse.

How does it compare with the GW-M5610?

The GW-M5610 adds solar charging and radio time sync for more money. The DW-5600E is simpler and cheaper but needs a battery swap about every two years.

Yes. It is rated 200 meters water resistant, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Casio does not rate it for scuba diving.

The watch on its resin strap and the manual. No charger or extra band is included.

Square G-Shocks see discounts around Black Friday and back-to-school sales. Watch price history before buying rather than assuming a sale price is the low.

Does the backlight stay on?

The EL backlight has an afterglow that stays lit briefly after the button press. It does not have an auto-light tilt sensor.

Our take on the Casio G-Shock DW-5600E

The Casio G-Shock DW-5600E is the classic square G-Shock: a resin-cased digital watch rated to 200 meters, weighing 54g, with an EL backlight, 1/100-second stopwatch, 24-hour countdown timer and a calendar pre-programmed to 2039. It runs on a CR2016 cell that Casio rates for about two years. It is the no-frills original-style square rather than a solar or Bluetooth model, so it stays simple and cheap.
