Inspired by The Gent’s recent quest for a G-Shock, I’ve applied myself to trying to find a suitable Casio for myself.
Some time (some years?) ago I came across a very helpful feature search on one of Casio’s websites, but can’t seem to find it now. Given the bewildering range of models available and the apparent lack of a method to find one that ticks the necessary boxes, would someone please be able to suggest a current model that meets the following criteria?
Essential:
- Countdown timer can be set to the second.
- Countdown timer has auto-repeat.
- Digital display.
- Buttons are easy to press.
- 200m water resist.
Nice to have:
- Date can be displayed in dd/mm format.
- 10 year battery.
- Not too expensive.
I used to have a watch with most of the above. It was a Casio of some sort, although probably not a G-Shock. Sadly, it is long gone, and I don’t recall the model or module number. The Casio I have at them moment only allows the countdown timer to be set to the nearest minute.
Google-Fu has deserted me, so hoping someone may have a suggestion please.
Many thanks!
Gavin.
Ignore. I think I found one.
For what it's worth I'd say the same thing as on the other thread; consider solar for a few quid extra. It's really good and you'll be able to use the countdown timer to your hearts content without any concern for battery life
Many thanks! I'll have another look.
For some reason, most of the ones I've come across only let you set the countdown to the nearest minute, but at least my Google-Fu seems to be returning now...
I love those square G-Shocks and I would also suggest a solar version, preferably with radio controlled time. One thing though: the buttons are by no means easy to operate.
The GW-S5600u on SC is a flipping bargain. Gets you a titanium JDM solar, atomic for a few pennies more.
Thank you all! That's given me plenty to consider. Much appreciated 😊
You can’t go wrong with one of these.

I’ve had mine for over 10 years and still on original battery.
Buttons very easy to press, syncs overnight so time always spot on, date format can be changed to d/m/year. Countdown timer with seconds adjustment etc.
And under £40 on Amazon.

Everything I need, and for pocket money too. Cheers!Originally Posted by jneds
No problem and I initially bought it to use to set the time on all my other watches.
