9 Reasons This Is The BEST Beater Watch Under $50 You Should Own: G-Shock DW5600E-1V vs Casio DW290

A few years ago I made a video about the quintessential G-Shock (the DW5600E-1V) and why it’s the best beater watch under $50 that everyone should own.

Then in 2020 I was inspired to buy an even cheaper Casio—the divisive but ultra capable DW290-1V—and my whole perception changed!

After a year of ownership, how does the DW290 compare to my former favorite Casio? What changed my perception? Why have I fallen so deeply in love with it? What are the key reasons I now consider it the best in its price range? Why is this watch so damn fun? And how did it go from something I overlooked and regarded simply as weird looking to becoming my favorite Casio watch?

Today I share 9 reasons why the DW290 rules the watch world in the under $50 range. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join me for an adventure featuring one of the coolest watches I have ever owned!
