CASIO G-SHOCK GM-5600UG-9DR DIGITAL GOLD BLACK WATCH—

The Story
The GM-5600UG-9DR is the gold standard of G-Shock's metal-covered 5600 lineup — and it means that literally. A brushed gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel wraps the iconic square silhouette, delivering a boldly luxe presence that the all-black GM-5600UB-1 and stealth-toned GM-5600U-1 simply can't match. The contrast of warm gold against a matte black resin case and band gives this piece a two-tone authority that works equally well with streetwear and smart-casual fits. Four polished gold corner screws, gold "PROTECTION" lettering, and gold button labels complete a cohesive design language that looks far more expensive than its price tag.
Under the bezel, the GM-5600UG-9DR runs Casio's updated Module 3525 — a meaningful upgrade over the older 3229 found in earlier GM-5600 models. The key difference is the switch from an EL backlight to an LED Super Illuminator with afterglow, which is brighter, more even, and extends battery life from approximately 2 years to a full 5 years on a single CR2016 cell. You still get the full G-Shock toolkit: 200-metre water resistance, shock resistance, 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm with flash alert, and a full auto-calendar accurate to 2099.

Why You'll Love It
- The brushed-and-polished gold bezel delivers a luxury jewellery feel that resin-only G-Shocks can't replicate — at a fraction of the full-metal GMW-B5000's price.
- Black-and-gold is one of the most versatile two-tone combinations in menswear: it pairs with everything from black tees to navy blazers without clashing.
- Module 3525's LED Super Illuminator is noticeably brighter and more uniform than the older EL backlight — checking the time at 2 a.m. no longer means squinting.
- At 73 grams, the metal bezel adds presence without the wrist fatigue of a full-metal build. You feel it on the wrist, but forget it during a workout.
- Five-year battery life means no service visits for half a decade — a practical upgrade over the 2-year lifespan of the previous-generation module.
- 200-metre water resistance is rated for recreational swimming and surface water sports. Rinse it under the tap after a gym session, no second thought.

Key Features
- Gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel — Scratch-resistant metal armour protects the resin case beneath while adding visual weight and a tactile edge that plastic alone cannot deliver.
- Shock-resistant construction — The hollow resin inner case absorbs drops and impacts, keeping the module safe whether you're cycling, climbing, or fumbling your watch off the nightstand.
- LED Super Illuminator with afterglow — A bright, even white LED lights the entire display. The afterglow holds for a few seconds after you release the button, giving you time to read every digit.
- Flash alert — The LED pulses in sync with alarm, timer, and hourly signal buzzer tones, so you'll catch notifications even in noisy environments where sound alone might get lost.
- Full auto-calendar to 2099 — Handles leap years and month lengths automatically for the next 75 years. Set the date once and never adjust it again.
- 1/100-second stopwatch with split timing — Measure lap times and first-to-second-place intervals with precision, useful for interval training or timing tasks at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the GM-5600UG-9DR (gold) and the GM-5600UB-1DR (black)?
Both share identical specs — same Module 3525, same 200m water resistance, same case dimensions and weight. The difference is purely aesthetic. The GM-5600UG-9DR has a brushed gold ion-plated bezel with gold text and gold corner screws on a black base. The GM-5600UB-1DR has a black ion-plated bezel for an all-dark stealth look. Choose gold if you want your G-Shock to stand out; choose black if you prefer something that disappears into darker outfits.
Which GM-5600 should I buy? A quick buying guide.
The GM-5600 line offers the same metal-covered 5600 shape in different colourways. The GM-5600UG-9DR (gold/black) is the most visually bold — it works as a statement piece. The GM-5600UB-1DR (all-black) is the most versatile everyday option. The GM-5600U-1DR (silver/black with inverted LCD) splits the difference with a cooler, more industrial tone. All three run the same Module 3525 with LED backlight and 5-year battery life.
Is the GM-5600UG-9DR the same as the "CasiOak"?
No. The "CasiOak" nickname refers to the GA-2100 and GM-2100 series, which have an octagonal bezel shape inspired by a famous luxury sports watch. The GM-5600UG-9DR belongs to the square 5600 family — the original G-Shock silhouette dating back to 1983. Both come in metal-covered versions, but they are entirely different case shapes and movements.
How is this different from the older GM-5600G-9DR?
The GM-5600G-9DR looks nearly identical but runs the older Module 3229, which uses an EL backlight (dimmer, blue-green tint) and has only a 2-year battery life. The GM-5600UG-9DR's Module 3525 upgrades to a white LED Super Illuminator with afterglow and extends battery life to approximately 5 years. If both are available, the UG is the smarter buy.
Will the gold plating wear off?
The bezel uses ion plating (IP), which bonds gold-coloured material to stainless steel at a molecular level. It's significantly more durable than traditional gold plating. With normal daily wear, the finish will last years. Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorine-heavy pool water) to extend its lifespan.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes. The GM-5600UG-9DR is rated to 200 metres (20 BAR), which covers swimming, snorkelling, and recreational surface water sports. It is not rated for scuba diving. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or pool exposure.
Is the LCD display inverted (white on black)?
No. The GM-5600UG-9DR uses a standard positive LCD — dark digits on a grey-green background. This is deliberately easier to read in bright daylight than an inverted display. If you want the inverted look, the GM-5600U-1DR offers that in a silver-bezel variant.
What size wrist does it fit?
The resin band adjusts from 145 to 215 mm, covering most wrist sizes. The case dimensions are 49.6 × 43.2 mm — compact by G-Shock standards. It wears well on smaller wrists without the bulk of a round G-Shock like the GA-110.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The GM-5600UG-9DR comes with Casio's official 1-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Casio retailer.
