- Hi guys, in this video I explain what G-Shocks I take with me travelling. I give my best travel watches and explain one mistake when selecting my GShocks on my latest trip.
I am a fan of having the right watch for the right occasion and therefore I generally travel with multiple watches. I explain what watches I use in different situations.
I run through some of my favorite models because of their functionality such as the GWG-1000 Mudmaster, GPW-2000 Gravitymaster, GA 2100 and GA 2110 including the Earth Tone and the G-9300 Mudman and the GG B100 Mudmaster. I cover my favourite functions such as tough solar, multi-band 6, auto backlight, super illuminator, world time selection, GPS, moon phase and many more…
I also take you through my new excellent gym set up which I think you will be highly impressed by, I explain my philosophy on keeping active and fit on holiday in order to keep balanced, healthy in body and mind. I hope you enjoy this.
This channel focuses on excellent practical watches, plus is about beings strong, resilient, positive, fit and prepared.
I am passionate about adventure and testing myself - some of my favourite ways to maintain physical strength are kettlebells and carrying heavy stuff long distances, i.e. ‘rucking’ and cycling on Zwift and my Wahoo Kickr. I use products that can put up with harsh environments such as CASIO G-Shock watches. I enjoy talking about this variety of topics.
If any of this is of interest to you please subscribe and let me know if you enjoy similar activities in the comments. Cheers...
On this channel I try to give you an indication of how different G-Shocks operate, the best models for different uses, 10 things I wish I knew before buying a G-Shock! As well ex explain what I think are the best value G-Shocks on the market, I.e. what are the Top 10 Casio G-Shocks under $200 you can buy
You will see G-Shocks transcend and become adopted by many different styles and cultures - that’s one of the reasons why I love them so much.
I also explain in some videos How to set a G-Shock Watch including many models such as the (5081). How to adjust time on G-Shock watch analogue digital How to set G-Shock hands. I talk about Casio GG-1000 module 5476 review & tutorial
I am interested in the the art or making G-Shock watches including the g shock mudmaster GWG 1000 and gg b100
I will sometimes post a video about ‘top G-Shocks’, such as Top 5: Casio G-Shock watches for men and women and specific situations
I talk about special edition G-Shocks such as the Gorillas X releases and Bhutan Edition
I provide Functions overview of different G-Shock models such as the awesome GMW B-5000 Full metal square - Awesome! as well as the Classic G-Shock DW-5600 series. I hope you find these kinds of videos useful. Please let me know your favourite types :)

hope you start making videos again, really enjoy your content.
I check in once in a while on your channel, love your content, hope you are in good health. Looking forward to future posts.
I love this video. I was literally just debating last night on whether to bring my GW-9300 or my blue GA-2110 on my next holiday. Cheers and thanks for the great content.
Cheers Scott! Great to hear such feedback... With those two great but different options I'd definitely be taking both :) Have a fine day good Sir.
Glad to see you are still using your Mudman. Saw your video last year and decided to buy one
Absolutely, it’s a classic and I use it regularly. Potentially the one G-Shock if I had to only have one!
Hope your doing well, best of luck with your new channel. I think this channel was just starting to get traction and if you keep with it I'm sure it will explode. Hopefully we get new videos soon. Cheers.
Just discovered your channel yesterday- really digging your g-shock videos! Pretty new to my renewed interest in watches, but I do have a $40 tough solar so far- and have my eye on a number of G options!
Thanks for dropping by Brian! Check out the GA2100 as a great balance between practicality and smart casual. Cheers
@@stormrider1119 I was worried about you! Glad to see you're still around. Looking forward to your new content.
I like to travel with the MTG-B1000 and GWF-1000 Frogman on a NATO strap.
Thanks for sharing.
Great choices. I still don't own a Frog, GWF will always be my favorite, harder to find these days... Cheers!
Damn that gravity master is nice. I just replaced the battery and gave my old Gavity master GA1000-1A to my cousin's son as a gift for a very special occasion this summer. I gave him some other choices but that's the one he wanted. 👍
The Canadian forces have a training program where you join the reserves and do basic during summer vacation and the last 2 years of high school and he signed up. He's in boot camp right now and will be finishing his training in the reserves during the last year of high school. He plans to sign up for the full deal and go into artillery once he graduates high school.
We are all super proud of him. The only other persons in my family to serve were my Dad and his parents. My grandfather was a Canadian airforce gunner in Defiants and Halifaxes in WW2 and my grandmother was a Canadian airforce driver in England. I still have his aviation compass and slide rule displayed in my home.
Great post Logan, I always love your information. I'm a massive fan of WW2 aviation so know the Defiant and Halifax. What a great present you gave him! That would have knocked me out at that age. He will never forget that watch...
I have the GA1000-1A too and it has the casio stock bracelet; it is still in my use and I appreciate that both timer and stop watch use the entire watch face and hands to display that information. :)
Great video👌 thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated
Hey mate, i have many of the G-Shocks you are talking about. I live in Melbourne, Australia & i enjoy your content. I Have approx 30 G-Shocks & love what they offer. Keep up the great content, i shall keep watching from Jonesy, DownUnder #TheAussie
Cheers Jonesy, appreciate the kind words. Sounds like you are like me an have a certain G-Shock for a certain occasion. Always wondering what one next... :) Have a fine day Sir.
Hello storm Rider.
I just wondered if you might be able to shed light on something.
Sometimes when I enter compass mode on my gwg 1000 the digital reading flashes .do you know what that means or why? Many thanks
Have a nice further trip in my country and be aware of rain and eventually flooding at this weekend, stay healthy, cheers!
Thanks for the advice Chris. Yes I am monitoring the weather... It has been a tough time for Germany with the floods - very sorry to hear about it. Have a fine day Sir and stay safe.
Man i wish that gravity master was still available in the Netherlands. Such a great device!
I love my 9300 mudman, I am hunting for a MB6 model that will be my perfect watch. I have also used it as a GMT watch by changing the date to a second time right on the main screen so you can see home and current time at once.
The MB6 is a bit of a grail for me. Japanese release only I believe.
I don't know if I'm alone or not but the 'huge' protection around the crown always makes these watches look so lopsided to me; I just can't come at them...hence I have the GGB 100 which I love and imo I think it looks well balanced and awesome overall (of course this is subjective)😉
I'd buy a ggb-100 but it doesn't have solar. If your continuously using the Bluetooth phone GPS function what's that doing to that battery life on that 2-year battery. I think it was a HUGER mistake not to have solar on it when Casio has done that on other Bluetooth-enabled watches.
I use a tennis sweatband, turned inside out, and then put the G-Sshock on top of it, if the watch is uncomfortable to wear.
Have you heard of Sakura watches? It's a great place to get Japanese-only model Casios for really good prices. Well, at least not ridiculous ebay prices.😅
Never heard of them, will take a look Logan. Cheers Sir!
Nice video. Did you get the jab? Is that how you're allowed to travel already? I'm still stuck. Without exercise I also don't feel quite right.
Man I have to keep moving to keep sane. If I ever feel off its the first thing I ask myself... 'When did I last do some strenuous excercise?' Yes regarding the travelling, all good, just careful to take all necessary precautions etc. Have a good day Sir.
@@stormrider1119 Hope you're doing well. Would like to see some new videos!
Can you do a review on GWG2000?
Thanks for dropping by. I plan to get the 2000 soon and will do a review then. I do know it has the same mechanics as the GWG1000 and it’s just the exterior materials that are different but I still intend to do a review. Cheers and Happy New Year!
shame that there is no RC mode on the mudman . I would have liked a GWG-100-1A3ER in the not too expensive watches. Mud Solar Rc no sensor, simple and efficiency . for sport I prefer a small watch style GW-M5610. shows them like gwg-1000 and gpr-b1000 sound pretty nasty when you sweat. is the back of the gg-b100 nicer when you sweat compared to the watch with a steel back?
Hey man, good call on the RC for the Mudman, that would be sweet. The GG-B100 has the Carbon Core back plate which I find very comfortable and it works well when sweating a lot because it has a slightly textured surface. Definitely would say the GG is a good one for intense workouts. Cheers Sir, good to hear from you again, have a fine day.
There are adapter you can get that will let you use canva or paratrooper/Nato straps. Its what I do because I have large wrists and increases the comfort immensely if you have issues with synthetics and sweet.
@@loganholmberg2295 no the bracelets of the g-shock are too beautiful in addition to being unique. the para / nato straps maybe pleasant but a lot dirtier on top of that if you sweat with them
Where did you get the travel case from ?
It’s a medical field pack/ pouch from 5.11. Great company. Cheers!
Hi Stormrider how are you? It’s been a little while since you uploaded anyvideos so I was just dropping a message to see if your ok. My training is going well, my diet is good and my GWG1000 1a3 is faultless and very much loved it’s a beast of a watch. Hey Like I said I hope your well brother 👍🏻 ...missing the uploads
Kev! Great to hear from you Sir! I’m fine thanks, just been developing another channel called ‘TRW Pizza’. Feel free to check it out if your interested, home pizza making :) I’ll be putting more content on here soon though as that channel is starting to get stable. I’m very pleased to hear you are well Sir, and getting after it will good diet and exercise, supported by the Mudmaster of course. Thanks so much for checking in and here’s to a great 2022 💪💪🥂
@@stormrider1119 I’ll be sure to check out the new channel, a good too If you care to try it... is used Greek yogurt and flour together to make a pizza base..it’s not one for one it’s a good bit more flour to Greek yoghurt but I’ve tried it and it’s great! Stay safe and good luck mate 👍🏻
How do I get a membership at that gym?
Haha. It's a complicated application procedure that revolves around finding a big rock. You are then approved, now get after it! :)
Sir which more beats the gpw 1000 or gpw 2000 ?
Good day Sir! For me the GPW 2000 takes the win as it’s just such a classy piece. When you see it in the flesh and study how much amazing technology goes into it, all powered by Tough Solar and with that amazing super illuminator backlight it’s just magic. Cheers!
@@stormrider1119 thank you so much sir ur the one u make full in love to the gwg 1000 and know u make get crazy about the gpw 2000 ur the best ever thank you again sir ur the king of the g shock :)
The GA-2110 is a nice watch but unfortunately it doesn’t have home time/world time swapping. This a disadvantage for frequent travelers.
It's doesn't have the exact same system as the GPW-2000 GravityMaster in terms of time swap but it does have world time option which I find very useful. The GA-2100 is more basic in functions but enough to make it very useful still for me. Thanks for the comment :)
Nice Gym XD
Have you consider to get the new Rangeman?
I think it can cover the functions for both of your mudmasters.
Of course, I love how mudmasters look too hehehe.
Sadly, casio has stopped manufacturing this watch; it is a loss to many like myself who was still wanting to purchase one. :(
@@artemisXsidecross Really??? :0
That's so bad, it was still on my list for watches to by :=
Are we talking about the rangeman gpr-b1000, right?
Yes if you mean the GPS enabled Rangeman I've definitely considered it but as Mr Artemis Sidecross states it's very hard to get hold of them now as they are not in production. I do think we will see new versions come out soon with enhanced solar charging capacity for GPS watches, I see it going that way. Of course I have a standard Rangeman and it's superb.
Agreed, a real shame... There is a Limited Edition Toyota Land Cruiser edition which is beautiful.
@@stormrider1119 Well, let's wait for the new rangeman model. Casio knows his job so, I trust their decisions. :D
With all those G shocks in your collection, I am still surprised you don't own a digital Frogman (not the new analog).
The old saying goes that all true G - Shock fans sooner or later end up with a Frogman.
I know i did....
I'm as surprised as you lol! I love the digi frog and nearly bought one a number of times. Now of course I regret not doing so as they aren't cheap and going up in value. It's on my list Sir.. I like the navy blue one with yellow elements.
@@stormrider1119 GWF-D1000NV-2E?
You poor, poor soul... I also lust after the D - Frog. This is the nickname of the depth meter digital Frogman. And since the GWF - D1000 is discontinued, his value skyrocketed. Few years you could buy them -50% retail which is insane bargain, but now... They fetch good price... Frogs always go up in value. Oh, and from what I've researched - with the D-Frog you get the best of the best digital G - Shock. Premium build quality and materials.
@@desireless4092 that's the one Sir. Good to know it's the best! But yes the price rise will be painful. One day I want to get to Japan and look for second hand Frogs there...
@@stormrider1119 This is a legit strategy Mister!
Knowing the Nippon sellers, they grossly underestimate the condition of the watches. More than once I've seen watches from there that are considered A- or B grade, but look so preserved and almost new. Your chances of scoring one at a good price and condition are really, really big. In EU they constantly go up in value little by little over time, safe but few listings here and there of random guys wanting to get rid of their D-Frog asap and their asking prices are somewhat acceptable.
Fair warning - the D-Frog is a beefy boy, and expect something like GWG1000 or a tad bigger than this Gravitymaster with a long strap to boot. But this makes it as a good rough and resilient beast that I can wear over my jacket sleeve in winter. And here I am with my "manly" 17cm wrist....
Hey, can you make an update video? You got me into G-Shocks and since your last video, so many new ones have been released!!!
I hope you're well in life, and if you've just went off the internet that's cool too.
All the best,
Hey Sir, thanks so much for the comment! I am doing well and have been preoccupied with another project. I do plan to post back here though with some new content. Thanks once again for the caring message. I hope you are loving your G-Shocks 🥂
Thank you for your content and view point. As a friendly made comment, I do not advise storing solar g-shocks in total darkness.
Any form of light keeps the battery from draining and which also keeps the capacitor which is the power of g-shocks ready for service. The battery is what powers the capacitor and then the watch module.
My choice for a travel watch is the g-shock gg b100 mudmaster with a freshly installed battery. Any recent news from Germany, China, and Turkey on global warming will show that the next day contains uncertainty. (The gg b100 needs to be 'married' to a smartphone with gps to use compass and location feature.)
Yes agreed, not best practice to have them in total darkness too much. Although I must admit I've never had an issue with my watches in that respect. Thanks for the kind words on the content, it's much appreciated. Thanks Mr Sidecross :)
I agree. I had an issue with a casio eco drie and it took a couple weeks sitting in the sun for it to charge right. Never had an issue as much with my Casios. What I really wish is that someone made a watch box with leds in it for solar watch storage. Storing my solar on a window sile on a verticle bracelet holder is getting old.
@@stormrider1119 I have used my g-shock 9400 for over 7 years and only after moderate use from a few days of in the field use has the battery been in the medium state of charge. I have never began a day of use with a medium state of charge; even today my rangeman 9400 is in a 'high' state of charge..
As I tried to explain the battery is secondary to the capacitor in supplying current to the module, and unlike the battery the capacitor replacement is expensive and not a stock item.
How am I this late to a stormrider video
Welcome back Sir! :)
