Casio G-Shock DW5600-SST-1 Stranger Things: limited edition 2025 for fans of Netflix and the brand

As the year draws to a close, Casio is rekindling the G-SHOCK flame linked to Stranger Things. Here, we review the key facts and their impact on the wrist, between end-of-year snobbery and the desire for collector’s pieces.

DW5600 and pop culture: what Casio has in store for 2025

The square DW5600 format remains a solid base for fans. What’s more, Casio’s shock resistance is reassuring for everyday use and travel. The digital dial is easy to read, even on the move. Finally, the special series is based on retro codes without sacrificing practicality, a bit like those fashionable Christmas gift ideas that focus on aesthetics and practicality.

Casio – G-Shock DW5600-SST-1: Stranger Things limited edition with 200 m resistance and 1/100 s chronometer. What’s more, the red Super Illuminator LED backlighting and automatic calendar to 2099 enhance legibility, making this a watch designed to keep track of your Paris outings as well as your weekend plans.

Functions for everyday use, not just for fans

The hundredths stopwatch is used for split sessions and rest periods. So you can measure your efforts precisely, without long presses or hidden menus. The red backlighting prevents dazzling the pupil at night, which helps both outdoors and indoors. Finally, Casio’s G-SHOCK structure keeps its buttons accessible under thin gloves, an ally as useful as a well-cut winter coat.

“The DW5600 Limited is a reminder that nostalgia can still be useful in everyday life.”

Casio – DW-5600STT-1: Stranger Things collaboration, 20 bar resistance, 1/100-second chrono and red LED backlight. Also, the contained weight of 52 g is suitable for sensitive wrists, like some Christmas jewelry designed to remain comfortable all day long.

On the water, pressure tolerance inspires confidence. Consequently, the 20 bar or 200 m rating covers swimming and the beach. The square case remains compact, which fits under a tight sleeve. Last but not least, Casio has thought about shocks, as the resin bezel absorbs blows.

• Adjust the strap length to your wrist size
• Use the red Super Illuminator backlight if you work at night
• Check tightness indication: 20 bar / 200 m
• Compare weights for lasting comfort
• Check serial number, box and instructions before paying

Choosing your Casio DW5600: concrete criteria

Wrist width is more important than trend. Weight also plays a part in fatigue at the end of the day. Backlight rendering helps night jobs. Finally, consider the number of alarms and the countdown timer.

Casio – DW-5600RL-1: organic resin case and bracelet, 20 bar resistance and shock resistance. This model reduces the material footprint without changing its use.

In low light, the red Super Illuminator limits stray reflections. What’s more, the eye remains adapted to the dark after reading. The digital dial displays large, which helps when on the move. On the other hand, avoid too-closed angles that obscure the screen.

Limited series are attractive, but function must come first. So ask yourself whether aesthetics will take precedence over need. Casio’s after-sales service is simpler with common references. So keep a record of the part number and manual.

Maintenance, safety and sports use

Rinse the watch after the sea to preserve the seals. Also, dry the pushers to avoid sandy sticking. Change the bracelet if the resin becomes too white. Finally, replace the battery as soon as the light fades.

Casio – G-SHOCK DW-5600UBB-1ER: stealth black finish, Super Illuminator, 1/100 s chrono and shock resistance. This keeps the reading clear without attracting attention.

When running, a countdown timer keeps track of intervals without a phone. What’s more, the alarm rarely vibrates on these models, so opt for the beep. The lightweight casing prevents the wrist from jiggling during sprints. Finally, mineral glass scratches less than ordinary plastic.

Special editions: style, value and availability at Casio

The Stranger Things collaboration offers a nod to nostalgia. The red backlighting and thematic markings speak to fans. The functions remain fixed, simplifying use for all. In short, you get a strong identity without losing reliability.

Casio – GM-5600BWD-1: limited edition Bamford London with treated steel casing and advertised price at £279. Aesthetics combined with the usual sturdiness.

Buy from a serious retailer, even if the wait is longer. Also, compare the warranty and right of return before payment. Ask for photos of the back and the case to avoid mistakes. Finally, keep your invoice and instructions for resale or service.

The DW5600 format continues to evolve without losing its soul. Also, demand for pop culture touches remains strong. Users want clarity, solidity and service. Casio is therefore banking on these codes for 2025.
