Personally, I love wearing a smartwatch. It doesn’t need to keep me connected, though. I just want easier access to commonly used apps and features that are on my phone, and I’m satisfied. Of course, we all have different needs, and some folks just want something simpler on their wrist.
Which is why the G-Shock Move DW-H5600 could be a perfect solution for someone who wants a smartwatch, without really wanting a smartwatch. Not only do you have classic retro styling, but you also get important features like health and fitness tracking, along with excellent battery life.
It’s not going to be for everyone
We’ve talked about the Casio G-Shock Move DW-H5600 before, and overall, it’s a device with a simple look that actually delivers when it comes to features. It has that classic Casio G-Shock styling, which means it’s lightweight while also being incredibly durable.
The difference here is that you also get a variety of sensors that can track your health and fitness activities, which is important if you’re someone who wants that extra data to show how you’re moving throughout your day. You can even track workouts.
Sure, you’re not going to get a busy screen that shows you all you need, but the basic tracking features are shown, and the details can all be viewed through the accompanying app. And just in case you need to stay connected, this watch will ping you with notifications.
You won’t be able to respond from the watch, but at least you’ll be informed. It’s just enough for some people. And when it comes to battery life, you won’t need to put this one on the charger every night. It will depend on your use, but Casio says at its maximum, this thing will run for 11 months without a charge.
However, if you’re using more features, the battery life will take a hit. So, for most people, we think you’ll easily be able to go a week without charging. That’s pretty good considering that most smartwatches from Samsung, Apple, and Google only last a few days at most. Overall, this is a pretty solid watch and is worth looking into if you want something different.
