I "Won" The NASA G-Shock, But I Feel Like I Lost... 🫤 #casiogate
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed měsícem
I won the chance to purchase the NASA G-Shock, but now it's just available to the general public on the Casio G Shock website. What am I missing here? I decided that if I can return the watch I'm going to do that. I'm very disappointed in how this whole thing turned out. www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GW-6900NASA24-1/ Subscribe to my trading card collecting channel: www.youtube.com/@Fr...

I’d take an omega moonwatch or two tudors over this 😅
It is an awesome watch. I want the white one myself, but, yea, the price segment here is a competitive one.
Made In China??
No clue. I would guess Japan. I’ve seen some Casio watches says cased in China, but don’t know about this one.
Seems to not be available on Bulova's Asia website. Maybe USA only? Would be interested to hear if anyone in Europe, Australia, etc sees this on Bulova's website.
Possibly. I just checked over on the US site and it was available there.
Official standard issue watch of Colonial Marines-looks good with an M41-A pulse rifle. Also issued to synthetic Bishop-hyperdyne model 341-B.
It would do the job for sure!
I have the silver one & really like the fact it has a mineral crystal. I think it’s a cool, sci-fi looking watch. Mineral crystals usually come in more expensive G-shocks. It reminds me of the robot “B-9” from Lost in space cause of that bit around the pushers.
I also like the mineral crystal. Shows it’s a step up from standard Casio plastic and is also more shatter resistant than sapphire, if not as scratch resistant.
When it was initially released it was $6,000. Not sure why it bumped up so much. I would rather get a Cartier for the money.
Interesting! I feel like $6kish is the right level for this. Feels like too much of a jump up from their other The Citizen watches.
Great Video
Thanks! Definitely a keeper in my collection. Love wearing and considering getting the titanium bracelet for it.
The movement specs aren’t even that great. Compare the movement to something in a Tudor, which is cosc certified, with a longer power reserve for half the money. This makes sense at $2000-$3000 tops, not $10,000! That’s laughable.
It is pretty nice and maybe it is accurate even without certification, but I do think it’s left field for Citizen. I also think it’s part of the fancy textured dial trend that Grand Seiko and Orient Star enjoy, but I am not big on the textured dials.
@@FranklyOnTime the thing is with the grand seiko, I can see how they can justify their price premium, when they have the spring drive movement, and have features like a power reserve indicator. I understand watches are not just spec sheets to compare, but I do feel if you are trying to move into the luxury market, you need to offer something that delivers either a significantly superior movement for the money, or a real standout when it comes to design. This citizen does neither.
No instructions in box on setting time, but a pamphlet loaded with mostly useless information. The lack of common sense in corporations today is amazing.
I've got the jetstar with the same movement and it's lost 1 second in 6 months. Bulova say +/- 5 seconds per month, but averaged over the year I think Bulova claim +/- 15 seconds per year!
Nice! I like the Jetstar. Retro looking watches are awesome.
Wish they made it without a date
I was astonished to see Citizen worth that much. That watch up here in Canada is 9500 dollars. Before taxes.
I think they and Shinola really want to go upmarket.
@@FranklyOnTime Never heard of that brand but nice watches. thx
Your review....was excellent. Thank you....Sir.
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment.
If there is third world war , I will be wearing this!
This would be a dependable tool watch in the event for certain.
If that's what I ordered, it's going back.
Just got this version. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s amazing in person and on wrist
Awesome! The Fujitsubo is a great watch. I’m loving wearing mine.
@@FranklyOnTime You can find the limited edition on sale for $600-800 USD right now
Can you make a vid on it? can't find any on youtube showing it off
Wish I had one for a video!
Would you know how eat and drink timers work?
Yes. You turn them on and they are basically custom alarms that periodically flash the words eat or drink on the screen. You can also customize other keyword timers like meds.
You wanted the watch you got the watch. I see your point at least maybe make it a special case back if you "won" the contest or throw in some accessories
Yes I agree, it's a good looking piece. I currently own a "Casio Royal" but I swapped out the resin case for a solid bronze and Sapphire crystal.
Awesome review! Enjoy it! I also bought it last month and I am so happy with it! Better than the Tissot PRX quartz and auto which I own both. I also own an AP 15400 and I can honestly say I enjoy wearing this Watch way more than my AP. No stress just fun!
Beats any mechanical for that super smooth secondhand and you have quartz accuracy. Love the retro style on this one.
The cushion dial really makes it stand apart visually.
Good morning, fellow contest winners.
Good morning!
I would not spend more that 300 bucks for a citizen watch
Rolex, Grand Seiko and other brands have decades of experience with mechanical movements, but for Citizen it is the first high level movement. There is a possibility it has some areas of improvements and its reliability is unknown..Unfortunately, this video gave no inside knowledge about the movement: Was it made by Citizen or is it a highly refinished movement from a movement supplier like ETA or Silita. Also, the degree of finishing was not discussed. Another aspect is the service of the next decades: If this watch doesn't work for Citizen, they may abundon this line in the future.
Well it won't be eta or selita as they're swiss movements. Citizen have made automatic/mechanical watches since they were formed. Quartz only became an option in the 70s.
They do it to stop speculators from buying all of them and flipping them on eBay, which is what happened with some of the previous NASA models.
Citizen, The CITIZEN are high quality watches that compete in the level of Grand Seiko. They use expensive materials such as gold and platinum.
The Japanese brands seem really into the fancy textured dials now as well.
Yeah I wouldn’t spend that much money on a citizen watch. I would prefer to get a watch with the 0100 caliber movement (solar quartz), that watch not cheap either. Around $4850 US dollars, limited edition.
Thanks for your comment. I agree. Maybe they should have something more around 6k for a while first before stretching to these levels.
Do you think the new Citizen Caliber 0210 is worth the money?
They were testing whether or not people would participate and future limited editions will be conducted like this. This lottery system is very popular with the selling of concert tickets in Japan.
Thanks for that info!
1:34 the sketch gshock on that paper looks dope. i might make one lol
Cash grab
Beautiful thank God i kept looking i was looking for a gold one of this version of watch
It looks great!
Same here just got mine yesterday and feel the same way point on video
Thank you!
This is a lesson for you. You're upset because you bought into hype. You didn't want the watch for its own merit. You wanted it because you thought other people couldn't have it and wanted it. The watch is limited, the hype wasn't there and not enough people entered. Now you know other people don't want it and can have it, you dont want it. If you bought something you actually personally valued then you wouldn't feel this way.
Love it. i purchased mine last year, and i enjoy wearing it. Yes, i do, baby, my casio, i do also own the first mission impossible casio. I bought two no regrets there. Quirky, study piece....yeah, it looks good on you. I'm new to your channel, and it's a great review and content until next time.
Thank you! I appreciate the comment and am glad you’re enjoying the watch 👍
I’ll put it back in the box and stick it on my bottom drawer with many others I don’t wear anymore aside from Casio’s. Lol😂
I actually decided I will return mine. I can’t have more than a few watches or some get forgotten.
Yeah. Was surprised. Got mine today soon after I put in for the contest like a week ago! Thought it be something special, but obviously it was a hook, line, and sinker! 😮 A bit annoyed. Wow!!!!!!
Yea, I was even thinking about it this past week at work like, Wow, how cool would it be to win! I think maybe every person who entered got charged and now they’re just selling the rest 🙃
That is why one of the rules for watch enthusiast is to buy what you like!
It’s true. Also being in the trading card space, FOMO and hype culture is very real.
It is limited. It's part of their 50th anniversary line. Once sold out you can't get them anymore. So you won one. Free. Why whine about that? Personally I found the watch to be ugly. Looks cheep. It's just a normal watch with NASA printed on it. They sell the exact same model without the NASA on it.
Was not free. The contest prize was buying one. You give your payment info when you enter, and when you win they charge it and you get shipment notice. I’m not sure what the point of the contest was. I explained all this in the video.
@@FranklyOnTime Oh. I was under the impression that "you got it", ie won it. Well then I guess you simply won the reservation of buying one. Which isn't bad either. Especially considering how quickly the other 50 anniversary watches sold out. But it seems like they overestimated the demand for this edition...which was zero. lol
That explains it. Guess they thought it might sell out even from the contest alone. I’m going to return mine as I felt pretty deflated after all that buildup.
@@FranklyOnTime Really? I mean it's still a limited edition. It will most likely sell out after while. And remember, often "failed" are highly desirable after a while too.
Limited batch for sure, but they made more than how many entered the draw.
I think it would have been better to have some win the draw and then have a few more at select retailers rather than direct from the website immediately after. I am definitely not confident if a company pronounces they are limited but won’t give a number.
@@FranklyOnTimeWelp my name is Frank and I also won the draw 😂
Congrats! It is a cool watch regardless.
I think you're cringy, bcs you wanted just to buy it for its exclusiveness and not because you like it. So, you deserve it. Learn for the future :)
What do you think about the "contest" promotion for the NASA G-Shock watch?
I love it. I’m attracted to the gold tone or all steel version. Im mostly with the gold and wonder how lasting the finish is.
Always a worry with PVD coating, but the good news is that sonce it’s entirely gold-toned it should be no issue to have the coating reapplied if needed (at least my understanding).
@@FranklyOnTime that’s good to know as the gold seems to really suit the watch style and have a 70s bling about it
Is this a dress watch or can be worn with polo and jeans as well?
It can absolutely be worn casual. I love mine with jeans and a Tee.
If you happen to have a set of calipers, could you perhaps measure the watch’s lug to lug?
Exactly 50mm by my tape measure.
@@FranklyOnTime I super appreciate the info-thank you!
Just order a “Jet Star” with the same movement, in a gold tone dial. Vintage looking watch.
I was looking at those! They are great looking watches.
Like everyone else in the comments I saw this and love it. Really appreciate your review. Now if only other dealers start carrying this at a discount off msrp… haha. Cmon Jomashop
Thank you. This would be a great one to nab on sale. I used my 10% off first online order code on it.
@@FranklyOnTime I was about to pull the trigger on the 10% too! Ill just be a bit more patient to see if it might go on sale somewhere. Otherwise I need this lol. Thanks again!
37.5mm is probably the smallest watch Bulova has put the Precisionist movement in, which I love. However I have a sneaking feeling that they will release non square version later on.
I think it’s the right move for a cushion dial. The area of the dial is greater with the bigger corners so it ends up wearing larger than a similar sized round dial. My theory anyways.
This watch is awesome. I’m a huge quartz fan, so a smooth sweeping high accuracy (medium accuracy??) movement is very cool to me. The design is right up my alley. I’m a big fan of the glasshutte seventies date, and this has a lot of the same design language. My only gripe might be the water resistance. I really prefer 100m or up for all around wear, but this watch is so cool I can forgive that
Agree. It would be nice to see 50m water resistance as more of a standard. I was surprised to encounter the 30m rating on this and some other watches that have otherwise caught my eye.
Wow, the most beautiful new watch design I have seen in the longest time. Also love Bulova watches and their history of innovation. Butterfly clasp not my favourite bracelet fastening would be my only criticism.
The cushion dial is really handsome. I was able to get a very good fit with the bracelet at any rate. and it is comfortable.
