- Time to open up this big guy and see how it was
built and integrated to become the toughest pilot watch on the market.
Here, I'll show how to disassemble this specific watch so you'll know how to fix or simply clean yours especially if you already own one as a beater.
In my case, the battery had already expired due to improper charging cycle thus inability to restart entirely, even after straight exposure under the sun or LEDs.
While I'm looking for new battery, why not we'll have a look inside to better understand out favourite time piece brand.

Thank you for watching. - Jak na to + styl
Please do a complete disassembly of the watch engine
Thanks
According to me this is the best Gravitymaster ever, the GPW-2000 has more tech but the small details like the carbon fibre inspired dial, the tasteful amounts of polished metal in the watch face, and most importantly the DLC coated bezel, make this the best Gravitymaster till date (no the GWR-B1000 is not worthy considering it does not have GPS functionality).
The music you use is so relaxing. Your videos are crazy high production value.
You are mastering the art of macro video photography! Your videos are informative and practical as well as eye-pleasing. Thanks!
Man, can't wait to watch this. You know this is one of my favorite G-Shocks I own and have done a couple of videos on my channel also. Thanks as always brother...
watching this in 2022. Awesome video!!
That was fascinating. I was relieved to see the O rings in the crown tube. It was good to see it's pretty well defended. I got my GPW 1000 wet a couple of times with the crown unfastened. It didn't cause a problem the watch (though I wouldn't want to repeat that too often!)
I'd love to see the movement disassembled; wouldn't mind seeing the motors and GPS chip if that's possible. Great work!
Fantastic video 👍🏾. I recently got a g shock craving and bought 15 different g shocks in 4 weeks. A few from different countries. Enjoyed the video but I’d never take one apart unless I didn’t want it anymore.
Good job! You exhibit such skill and confidence in the disassembly of this watch.
Superb! Somewhere I read that the GPW-1000 has two batteries due to the GPS power demands. A complete disassembly of the module would be great. Great videos!
My favourite watch!
Very cool video as always
Excellent video thanks
This watch is in my wishlist
Oh man that’s technology ,look at the all tiny stuff inside that watch,very interesting it’s my favorite watch
Hi mate,very intresting videos,i watched both,also for gpw2000.can u say please if u know,will the strap for gpw1000 can fit gpw2000? thanks
Hello...is there anyway i can change the batteey from ctl2016 to ctl1616..or it will make the module not functioning because it will be very expensive to ship back to japan and return to malaysia..
hello sir, are that battery more bigger than ctl1616? i'm just wondering why casio didn't use ctl1616 instead? is it because of the movement need more power/juice to function properly, tough solar alone not enough perhaps? thank you for this great video. have a nice day, cheers. :)
Hi, I need your help.
I have GPW-1000 that has carbon fiber strap that peel and I am planning to buy a metal (resin) strap but it is expensive, it cost almost one brand new gshock.
Do you think if Gw-a1000fc or GA-1000FC-1A metal strap can use to GPW-1000?
Please help.
Unfortunately my GPW-1000 hour and minute hands stuck every three days or less but after going to setting mode and changing the location of time it starts working but its not calibrated and it does not show the right time. I dont know may be gear or module problem or battery problem. I wish you disassembled the module too may it could help me to fix mine.
Great video, just to ask if I want to change just stainless steel blue bezel with other color, how should I do it?
You'll have to go through all the steps until 15:40 to remove it. Swap, then reinstall everything back. Tedious work.
Best g shock ever. Hybrid wave captor a must have that i thought would filter dien to other watches, but seems it remained exclusive to the very top of the range, with others making do with blue tooth and multi band 6. However Bluetooth isn't always available and neither is the atomic signal.
These watches take a beating, self correct hands knocked out of alignment (tough mvt)...and well they have been my daily wearer since release (I have the raf, a black and gold, a standard one and an aged titanium one... and will be buying more.
I truly believe no watch has ever been made that suits use in austere environments, and also looks fine in day to day life, than the gpw 1000.
BTW,,, been wearing daily through weather and impacts and tool use and all manner of abuse (aside the aged titanium one) and none have missed a beat. No strap rot....not even a scratch on the sapphire crystal.
They have surpassed the Omega Speed master as my fav watch of all time...and even better, while I bought all mine from G Shock store in Carnaby Street in London. These outstanding pieces of watchmaking genius can be had on ebay NOW for 200 to 300 gbp.
If you want a tough watch to survive a tough job day to day, and also look cool as anything else....just get one. You get one in your hands, feel its weight and solidity, appreciate the tech which will automatically give you the exact time anywhere on the globe....you won't say no.
Can I replace GPW-1000’s battery with Panasonic CTL1616F? Thanks!
Great angles and detail in disassembly. I would hope you use a cloth or fabric layer between your watch face and the table when unscrewing. My subconscious was in cell phone repair mode and thought he's scratching the ×÷%$ out of that gorilla glass lol.
Understandable. I got to test the so called scratch resistant sapphire glass though.
Hello, do you have a module disassembling, the hand that indicate days of the week and auto....etc is stopped, it doesn't work anymore. i want to open the module and check the motor but iam afraid to do that without any of your useful videos which helps a lot
Better to send to over to Casio service center instead. This model is too complicated to inspect without any experience. It is just too much work.
Can the ggb1000 convert it into a tough solar system and a digital screen?
have you got the battery , please can you tell us what is the battery model ????
One of my favorite gravity master. I wonder why it was so short lived? I like the latest carbon fiber one..my only complaint is that it is visually too close to the MT-G/MR-G lines.
Function wise the carbon fiber gravity master and the MT-G/MR-G are pretty much the same.
@@bigbigdog yes they are, they also used the same modules
I could not finish the video before i put this comment.
Really impressive high quality video and i fell into it directly.
Going to continue watching and stump the like , maybe subscribe too
I have a problem with my GPW1000-1B.. everytime i will do manual time calibration thru "TIME" or "T+P". The second hand will just directly point to "NO" and back to timekeeping mode, without doing any searching. Any tips on how to solve this problem? thank you.
Perhaps the battery is too low for that operation.
Can you take apart the Frogman D1000?!
Did you get the battery finaly ???
I noticed in my mtg g1000 d has the same battery can you tell us more about these battery ??
I have same issue, the clb2016 battery, how the hell can I get them?
Saludos excelente rejol
Wow ! 😳
Name of music at intro please?
be good to see the movement taken apart.
I think you have to press lid during remove screw and wear groves..
I was planning on changing the bezel ring, and was wanting on a video from you to decide if it is worthy, but just find out that no, it isn't, I have disassemble almost all of my gshocks and always get dust inside, and I'm kind ocd with that!
Also why you don't use some kind of tissue between the watch and the table, I know it's to much, but kind of hurt, hearing the watch bang and twist in the table...I know that there gshock but I treat mine so damn well, even a betten up one, I always use like a microfiber cloth between them and the table 😁
Well, I do bother all the little things when I got started. Now, I'm disassembling almost 10-20 different gshocks per week.. I notice it didn't matter. These things aren't the typical 'swiss made' watch. They're really tough. In and Out.

Can i ask..what killed the battery in the end? I have to say that owning these watches for getting onto 10 years now..(2014 was release on Europe no? About when i got my first RAF..and i still wear off at least once a week, with battery sill showing at 12o clock on the test mode....same goes for my black and gold and aged titanium one, sorry I'm terrible with model numbers.
Now surprisingly i just picked up another for the collection, the bog standard original one, with the blue anodized ring round the bezel ( you all know the one in sure)....and the price was so outrageous i thought it worth a punt, even though in all the pics, the hands were ALL pointing at 12, and I'm thinking...'this had to be dead batteries'...but at £140 ( my offer on a £200 asking price, i thought,well...the steps are probably worth £100 on their own. The chap didn't answer any questions, pictures were rubbish, and condition described as used....with zero note info offered.
Well the day of delivery arrived.....and the original cardboard box from casio arrives, with the immaculate watch box within, the watch in its original little bag on its pillow....and the moment light hits it, the hands set to the time.....though the battery tester read as 2 so i left it on a bright windowsill for an afternoon before messing with time and position. But it all worked perfectly in the end and is now my absolute daily wearer, beating our a Speedmaster (not a super posh one) a Seiko Astron which I adored for years for that one thing that the Gravitymaster does better, i.e satellite time updates away from the radio sjgnals, and also a highly highly prized Luminox Blackout that was gifted to me by some USMC lads...So I mention all this to demonstrate at least some credentials, not as some sort of Gung Ho commando, but as a guy that had learned to appreciate certain strengths in a watch, when one is living in austere conditions,and accurate and above all reliable timekeeping is incredibly important. How the watches i mentioned are all superb....Speedmaster showing age now....even perfectly tuned,they will lose 15 mins a month easily, not to mention resistance to shock, magnetism and.....well, I wanted to say extreme temperatures, but they survived plus200 in the light and minus 200 in the shade, so yeah, Speedmaster will always be my second fav. But....when you find out about the level of detail that went into the GPW1000...I don't think they put all those features in one watch ever again?,
Look at the new Gravitymaster...it's great, triple or quad sensor? But it gets time from Bluetooth from your phone, or Multiband 6, which if God forbid the s nite I don't the fan, won't be there. The satellites are solar and in orbits that won't fall....well...if ever.
Ok I'm ranting, but i strongly think the gpw1000 is the best survival watch ever made, and my only concern is the life out the job chargeable back up, which is unavailable at the best of times...BUT...I've been running mine for near a decade, and no issues at all!
Ps...after boring rant, i have been perusing tough and hopefully solar smart watches . The Tag Heuer Connected seem too be good, as are the Garmin..i think Fenix 6 seem very capable, but all suffer still from the dreaded slavery to being recharged every 24 hours, unless the solar is much better than i expect it to be?
If you guys have any info on the best rigged smart watches, if be really interested in your opinions! ( not to mention what you think killed the unkillable gpw1000 battery)
Gpw 2000 refitting and background music name plz?
Crazy macro shot! I have the GPW-1000-1B. Simply the best.
how to change the battery
how to change battery and where can i order new battery ????
No
Which gshock has the metal inside insert of plastic ?
All of them have a metal sheet insert into their plastic hardcase for reinforcement.
Metal insert band however normally found on resin composite bracelet model like GW-B5600BC being the most popular.
@@gshockhighfashion Appreciate your reply. sorry I did not explain my question clearly. What I question about is the black plastic housing for the movement and some plastic gears in it, as shown in your video from around 27:40. I was wondering if there are other gshocks made completely of metal? Thanks.
...but on the other hand, if you want to get your watch going again with a new battery and you think disassembling the movement is a risk too far - no probs! I'll just imagine it!
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Music?
What will happen if i lose the string, i lose it :(
Replace them with any springs or thin wire.
@@gshockhighfashion thank you for the tip and will do sir thanks
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Can you do what's inside the new analogue frogman pleasee🙏🙏
so I guess my expensive watch is useless now that is hard to find a spare battery?
Yes
Now you will have a lot of dust particles under the glass
*NO DISASSEMBLE!!!*
*IT'S TOO BOO KOO!!!*
Ur crazy
