Best purchase ever! Being driller working on rig is tough this watch is best made for rough conditions.
Why is it tracking me?
Why does the app require location services always on (not just while using) to link to the watch?

Best watch ever
It was fine until you broke it
I loved the app. It used to work great and pair perfectly to my watch. Until you changed your app.
Now in order to set the time on my watch, I have to turn my location to ALWAYS on. There is no other allowable option. There is no conceivable reason why I would need to share my location to know the time. All the wonderful features of this watch, can’t be used. It’s extremely disappointing.
When I downloaded this app and starting using it, I didn’t even need an account. Now this has gotten incredibly to invasive, and unless this changes I can’t use the app again.

Doesn’t work
Gone through all the steps app doesn’t work
Great watch
This is the best watch I’ve had in addition to keeping up with my steps most definitely recommend
Location Data
App should not need Always On access to phone location data to adjust watch settings.
Unnecessary data collection
Bluetooth time sync feature doesn’t technically require your location but CASIO has decided to make 24/7 background location permissions required to be turned on or else it will refuse to simply send the time from your smartphone to the watch over Bluetooth. This is possibly illegal in some legal jurisdictions.

Clunky, Dated, Misleading
Was excited to receive my first Casio activity tracking watch and use the app to sync my data to Apple health.
Then I spent the first 16 hrs of ownership troubleshooting how to update the software of the watch (read many message boards).
The UI/UX is laggy, looks dated, and is not the most intuitive to navigate.
Then, for all the health stuff it advertises it tracks, it only shares SOME of it with Apple health. Casio decided to gatekeep the rest and you can only view it through what looks like their forgotten platform.
Oh and the only way I was allowed to link the Apple health app is if I agreed to the required AND “optional” terms.
I do think the hardware of my watch is incredible. Just disappointed and feeling duped by the connectivity element.
Happy to flip this one star to a 5 if they only just enabled syncing of all the data.

Casio 5600
researched watches for weeks before settling on the Casio 5600, and I’m really glad I did.
I wanted something that could track steps, SpO₂, and sleep without feeling like I was wearing another high-tech gadget. The retro look is a big part of what attracted me to it, and the size works especially well for my smaller wrist. The plastic band has plenty of adjustment options, so getting a comfortable fit was easy.
The watch arrived quickly, and setting it up with my phone was simple. The display is easy to read in dark environments as well as in direct sunlight, which has been a pleasant surprise.
I also like how versatile it is. The combination of materials gives it a rugged, everyday feel without looking out of place when I’m dressed up a little.
The buttons did take me a little while to get used to, but once I learned the layout, that wasn’t much of an issue.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Casio 5600. After wearing several Apple Watches over the years, I honestly prefer this one. It gives me the features I actually use while bringing back the simplicity and character of a traditional Casio.

Retro excellence
Both the app and the watch offer a level of satisfaction only retro tech can offer. Fabulous
G-shock review
It’s a good app
Disappointing
This has transitioned from being a beautiful and useful thing when it was the Oceanus app to being about data harvesting and marketing. I can register only currently made watches and manuals are separately downloaded but the links are usually broken. The agreement now demands so much access to my data that I can’t accept it any longer so I can’t even use the bluetooth on my Oceanus if I change phones and can’t get the old app.

一星都不想给
根本都登录不上去，一直显示错误
Too invasive
The app wants far too many permissions to function. Install with a dummy email, get your watch situated and then delete the app.

SUPERB! Fast connection👏👏👏
Missing Basic Features & Connectivity Issues
I am using DWH 5600 with an iPhone 15 Pro for last one year. I love the watch but the app is terrible.
Frequently the watch gets disconnected from the app which is very annoying as I miss important notifications. Need to improve the connectivity issue.
Also, some very basic features like stopping a snoozing alarm from the watch is missing which is very annoying. I have to open the app in my phone to stop an alarm (how funny it is)!!!!

GPS needs improvement
Satellite images are several years old & each mile recorded is .06 miles short when an actual mile is reached. GPS needs accuracy & updating. Otherwise all watch functions are great & watch looks great.
Another year & distance tracking is still inaccurate, but all other functionality is good.

Give up your location 24/7??!!
Sadly, if you want to use this app to set the time on your watch it will demand 1. You sign up to a casio account, and 2. You MUST enable constant location tracking even when the app is closed. Ridiculous for what it is.
