Drop

·

Nope

·

I just had to look up who Ben Clymer is. I already have a 5610, so I’m good.

·

Pass

Nope.

I too had to look up who he was, had no clue he was/is Hodinkee's founder.

While in the past they have had good articles, recent stuff has been far to snobbish and/or full of LARP-ing. YMMV.

·

I had to Google Ben Clymer.

·

Regardless of who he is, that's awful

·

Cop. Like the muted look and colors. However I rarely ever buy collabs though,guessing too pricey.

·

I don't know who he is either, but I like the color combo a lot and was looking to add another gshock: cop.

·

It's a gray G Shock, wow.

·

Yawn

·

If it’s for me or you then “Yours!”

·

No idea who he or she is (gotta cover all bases nowadays),

But i like it 👌

·

No, I'll pass. My only square is a GW-S5600-1JF, and I don't know who Mr. Clymer is.

·

That’s the ultimate drop. Even though it’s a G-Shock and it’ll probably survive it…

Hats off to Ben for his contribution to popularization of watch industry to more people but this watch is simpy pedestrian, too plain and boring. Deserved more

·

Nah!

·

Love G-shock, not this one though

·

I am one of the few who like it! The first GShock that I actually like. It has nice details/Easter eggs.

Yes its not for every one but 200$ bucks is ok even for a beater.

Ordered one myself, got a lot of wear out of my light blue Hodinkee Casio they did, for not much money you get something that is a bit different to the millions of other Casio's out there. Hodinkee gets a lot of hate but I'm never really sure why

Since this watch and your post kind of got roasted in the replies, I feel like I need to put it out there that you can still like it and it can still be a hit.

Hit songs only need 500K units sold to be certified gold. 500K out of 8 billion people, or 0.00625% of the population.

Im totally ok with the comments.. but ill cop anyway 😁

Ordered one too 👍. Link me to your wristshot if it arrives at your destination first

·

I'd drop it like I drop infants down flights of stairs.

The combination of the Hodinkee connection and colour put me off. I'd rather own a storage container full of fentanyl next to a police station than own that.

·

Love Ben but the watch offers me nothing. Imagine designing a resin watch and the band colour not matching the body. It’s a big no. Would much prefer some of the recent g shock Galapagos collaboration.

·

Cant wait to see all the hate while wearing this G-Shock 😂… Just kidding, I think nobody would even notice that its a Collab. Its just a Nobody wearing a Gshock and taking wristshots!

·

I also have no idea who Ben Clymer is, but I do know that you can buy a grey G-Shock DW-5600 shroud and strap from AliExpress for £3.
