    I like square G-SHOCK watches more than any other watch.

    This time, I am introducing a slightly unusual tabletop clock.

    • A radio-controlled alarm clock featuring G-SHOCK-inspired styling
    • Just having it on your desk lifts your spirits
    • It is not a G-SHOCK and does not have G-SHOCK toughness

    Not a G-SHOCK, but It Certainly Looks Like One

    Here is the DQD-5000J-1

    DQD-5000J-1

    What I am introducing this time is a tabletop clock. You might also call it a desk clock.

    It is not a G-SHOCK and does not carry the G-SHOCK logo, but its color scheme is unmistakably G-SHOCK.

    Here is the GW-M5610U, one of the best-known G-SHOCK models.

    You can see that it shares the same color scheme as the DQD-5000J.

    If you like G-SHOCK, this is a tabletop clock you will want to own.

    Keep in mind that it is simply a regular tabletop clock with radio-controlled timekeeping.

    It is not a G-SHOCK.

    That means it does not have features such as resistance to damage from being dropped.

    Buying and Trying the DQD-5000J

    I bought this DQD-5000J-1 tabletop clock to try it for myself.

    Here is the outer box.

    Let's open it.

    Checking the Contents

    Inside are the clock itself, a warranty card, an instruction manual, and batteries.

    Let's take it out of the box.

    A display sticker is attached to the screen.

    The back

    Both sides

    There are 2 alarms, each with its own ON/OFF/SNOOZE settings.

    There is a large light/snooze button on top.

    The battery compartment cover is on the bottom.

    Getting the DQD-5000J Running

    Let's put it into operation.

    Open the cover on the bottom.

    The cover stays attached to the body so that it cannot get lost.
    A thoughtful touch from Casio.

    The Backlight Looks Great!

    The clock starts up when the batteries are inserted.

    Looking good!

    And switching on the backlight makes it even more exciting.

    It looks great, doesn't it?
