Casio G-Shock DW-5600UE-1VER
The DW-5600E is the longest-selling G-Shock and a direct heir to the original G-Shock from 1983. The 5600 series was introduced in 1987, and in 1996, it was upgraded with an electroluminescent backlight, hence the E. Contrary to what you would expect from such a legacy model, it's also the cheapest one available.

The DW-5600E is the longest-selling G-Shock and a direct heir to the original G-Shock from 1983. The 5600 series was introduced in 1987, and in 1996, it was upgraded with an electroluminescent backlight, hence the E. Contrary to what you would expect from such a legacy model, it's also the cheapest one available.
The DW-5600E is the first watch by any company to survive the Guinness World Record test of driving a 24.97-tonne truck over the watch. It has the basic functions you would expect from G-Shocks and, surprisingly, one of the more comprehensive alarms of the bunch. If you don't need World Time, Bluetooth connection, or tide graphs, this is probably the watch for you.
The suffix 1VER means the color code (1 for Black), and VER denotes export models. The various regions are most often just packaged a bit differently, and the manual language varies.

Made by Casio
The first invention by Tadao Kashio was the yubiwa pipe: a ring that allows you to smoke a cigarette hands-free and all the way to the end. Tobacco was expensive in war-torn Japan (because WWII), and people had their hands full of work, so this was exactly what the market wanted. With the profits from the pipe, Kashio could fund the development of Casio's first electro-mechanical calculator.
High intelligence and flair for business combined with this sort of diligence could not have led to anything but the success Casio has achieved. The company has been the first mover too many times to mention. Let's skip the list this time.
Being the first mover has not sacrificed quality: many people still use Casio wristwatches they bought 40 years ago, and they have gained the trust of NASA, numerous special (and non-special) forces, law enforcement, paramedics, and so on. Another long list. The TL;DR is that all of these are damn good, pick any one you like!
