Casio’s G-SHOCK lineup has never been one to shy away from bold ideas, and the G5600BG-5 adds an eco-friendly twist to the brand’s signature toughness. Watch enthusiasts and green-minded shoppers are always looking for that perfect blend of style and substance. With this model, you’re not just getting the durability G-SHOCK is famous for but also a little piece of Casio’s sustainability story right on your wrist.
At the heart of the G5600BG-5 is an innovative use of factory waste resin that would usually get tossed aside. Casio collects the leftover resin scraps from making other G-SHOCK components, powders them, and then mixes them into a warm beige base. You’ll spot unique flecks of white and olive green throughout the band and bezel, so every single watch ends up with its own subtle pattern and color blend.

That means no two G5600BG-5 watches are exactly alike, giving each one an individual character. It’s not just marketing hype: these variations come directly from recycled resin sourced from Casio’s own factory waste, so your watch will have a truly one-of-a-kind design. If you’re someone who likes a little surprise or a personal touch in your accessories, this detail is bound to catch your eye.
On the style front, the G5600BG-5 stands out by keeping things understated but fresh. The beige body, accented with those olive and white speckles, gives off an effortlessly versatile vibe. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend hike or just need a reliable daily driver, the look fits right in. It’s a great pick for anyone who likes their gear to hint at adventure without shouting about it.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a proper G-SHOCK without the technical chops to back up the unique appearance. The G5600BG-5 boasts the famous shock resistance that’s kept this brand ticking for decades, along with 20 bar water resistance for peace of mind during swims or sudden downpours. The display is designed to be easy to read even in low light, with a backlight that’s just a button press away.
Where this model truly flexes its green credentials is with the G5600 Tough Solar system. The watch charges up from even modest indoor lighting, virtually eliminating the hassle of battery replacements and making it a friend to the forgetful among us. The fact that both the band and bezel are made from recycled resin scraps is the cherry on top for anyone keen on reducing their environmental impact.
This isn’t Casio’s first foray into recycled resin watches, but the new colorway with a beige base and olive green flecks is a refreshing take on last year’s model. For longtime G-SHOCK collectors and newcomers alike, the G5600BG-5 is a standout: practical, unique, and packing just a little bit of history in every piece.
