How much Casio paying you to be their b*tch? Let me guess.........nothing.......but you still their b*tch. Man, quit doing these truly useless videos, if you must shill for Casio at least get them to pay you.
I bought my first G-Shock in 35 years last week - the 5610u. It does everything better than any of my automatic watches, and it even has a notable history to refer to, namely 40 years of consistent success. The fact that it is a great watch and a beater, makes it rather special.
Absolutely Martin!
True. It's the best value for the money.
A bit over one year with mine. Glorious watch I am proud to wear as a secret hug :-)
I got the same watch, I love it!!
Wear it in good health
One of the best watches ever made. I just bought mine a nato strap
I've got a GW6900 and a DW5600. That's it for me mate! A round (with multiband 6) and an old school square. Love them both. Thanks for sharing your G-Shock enthusiasm!
Always up for a G Shock vid!! I decided to do a quick inventory of my collection and I currently own twenty four G's. Those were all excellent picks Russ. Like you, I love my GBD 200. I have a couple of models with a smaller form factor like the MTG-M900 and the G300 Street Rider. I believe they are older designs as they are really difficult to come by now. The MTGs are Tough Solar and Multiband 6. The GD-350-1BER is a stealthy all black with a vibrating alarm and the best negative LCD panel I've seen on any Casio. The numerals glow a greenish gold color when light hits them. Not sure why Casio hasn't made all of their negative displays this way. It's one of my all time favorite G Shocks
If you are interested in G-shocks that had historical relevance, you should try the AW 500E, the first analog (ana-digi) G-Shock, originally released in 1989 too. Great video as usual, by the way
Great list, Russ! I'd add:
1) G7900: low temp LCD for us poor Canadians, plus a moon phase (plus lotsa movie cameos)
2) GG1000: the awesome ana-digi mudmaster with a compass
3) GW9400 Rangeman with instant stopwatch and a surprisingly useful barometer while camping!
Cheers!
Yeah I wonder why the G7900 always gets left off these lists. Looks awesome and SUPER practical. I'm in Wisconsin so the low temp LCD for late season hunting is a great feature
Or better GW-7900 IMO it's 👍
@@popiolekm yes absolutely mate I've got the gw7900 positive screen it's a proper man's watch built to last
Honest question, how is the barometer useful?
@@MemerDad you can set an alarm for extreme pressure changes. This can signal a tornado, which is an obvious problem in a tent surrounded by trees. A very useful camping warning if you don't have a weather radio on. 👍
A G-Shock that often gets overlooked, because it is considered the DW-6900's "little brother", is the DW-9052. That model was quite revolutionary, as it was the first G-Shock that split the date and time display - a feature that has become a staple among modern digital Casios. I recently got the DW-9052-1V (the original color scheme from 1996) and IMO it blows the overrated DW-6900 (which is really just a mash-up of the DW-5900 and the DW-6600) out of the water. Such an iconic, stealthy and timeless design.
Ah, yes, the nice looking little DW6900 can be seen as "stylish" but it seems a bit "weird" to me in the G-Shock evolutionary timeline.
Excellent list of 5! My personal favorite at the moment is the bright red G7900 with moon and tide data. That GBD200 looks awesome too. Thanks for the vid 😀
Loving my 5600e. Good solid piece. Classic
I have one of those I love it I'm a carpenter and have even accidentally had it superglued to my arm and bashed it while working and it still works perfectly:)
Great video, if I wouldn't already own 5 G-Shocks, I'd go and get one of these right away! 🙂
Thanks, great lineup. I have the Rangeman GW-9400-1 positive display, black with red accents. This is the only G-Shock I have and really love it, does everything I need and a lot more. I bought a G-5600UE-1 solar, positive display, but found it a bit small especially the strap, so gifted it to a friend. Considering getting another one or the 5610u positive display. The GBD-200 looks good, probably the only negative display I would buy as legibility is important for me. The Casioak watches also look good. Decisions, decisions!
Love it! Especially with a brand like g-shock, which is overwhelming to sift through, it’s nice to learn about some of the more historic or iconic models, especially the original versions… this is very useful!
Cheers my friend!
Don't get sucked in with all the casio, g shock stuff you'll end up needing a shop display case like certain people commenting on here. Yes you MWC.
Just kidding you can't knock a gshock
@@isfbuster6733 no you can't knock a G-Shock-either literally or figuratively!
@@markymarknj lol very true I've got 3 squares and i love them
one of the best gshock lists on yt love how versatile the list is
Way too kind my friend!
A forgotten about G-Shock is the G100. Over here in USA they are fairly cheap, around $35 - $50 USD. They feature all the functions you need, including dual time. It’s my staple travel watch.
MWC, I presently have three G-Shocks: the G7900, GA1000, and GA100. I'd like to get a square G-Shock like the original I had. I had one of the early ones when I served in the US Navy, BTW. I bought one of the square G-Shocks back in 1983 or 1984. I dropped it, hit it, dropped it paint, removed the paint with dry cleaning solvent, had salt water on it, and so on. No matter how I abused that watch, it came back for more! I've been a fan of G-Shocks ever since... :)
At first I was skeptical about the G-9000, after numerous reviews warning about its hard to press buttons. But now that I own it, I wouldn't have it any other way. They constantly remind of the Mudman's sturdiness and safety, which in turn gives me a peace of mind no other watch in my collection can provide.
Since I was missing a green G-Shock anyway, I snagged the one from your video for 77€.
For that price the functionality it offers in combination with its protective qualities, the G-9000 is second-to-none. Not only is it a great stopwatch, it also has world time, DST and 4 alarms.
My father had the original G-shock. He bought it in the late 80's and the original battery lasted for 19 years! Legendary watch.
He bought it after one of the guys at his work got one and back then know one really knew what a G-shock is.
After that guy got the watch he was pranking people - telling them he had enough of this watch and toss it onto the next wall.
A couple of years ago I got the 5600 and when I got it my father asked me why I bought an old watch.. 🙂
I love that watch.
I have small wrists and for that reason I have the G-Shock Mini (GMN-550-1DJR) only sold in Japan. Had no idea it was modeled after the first mud-resistant G-shock. Love all these little history nuggets
Ive just ordered one....pick it up later on......be the first digital battery watch EVER in my collection.......Thanks to you SO i better be impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great list! The 7900 series are things of rugged beauty!
I used to stay away from digital quartz watches since they would May my wrist and forearm hurt. But in the last 10 years I did enough chelation treatment for heavy metals that I’m able to start wearing quartz watches again and because of the enthusiasm of your videos I’m going to start with Casio watches for my first digital watches. You really make it seem so cool and manly, thank you!
You could honestly pick 5 gshocks at random and end up with a fun collection! Great show!
Love your videos. Every video is a grain of magic!! Well done!! Keep it up!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Very kind my friend thank you
This man made me attracted to gshocks 🤣 I got a gbd-200 and a 5610u. The gbd-200 display is absolutely a beauty!
Thanks for your support and thank you me for supporting your Casio addiction!!!!!!!
ARE YOU STALKING MY MIND ??!?
I was looking for this content 😂😂😂 and you did it. Thank you
Lovely jubly Russ, great concise review of some awesome G-Shocks. Was surprised not to see you camp casioak in the mix. Always look forward to your fun and uplifting reviews and this one is no exception. I’m going to have to get my wallet out after this!😮
Cheers Dave!!
Hello from Dallas Texas. You are the reason I started collecting Casio G-Shocks.
Love your vids man. Very informative.
Yes!!!! Awesome my friend! All the best to you Josh!
I absolutely agree with your choices. And I am actually trying the smart functions to see how long the battery lasts
Some great picks there Russell. I picked up the GM-2100 with the gold case a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. Also have the GMA2100 in the AP modded case which looks great (but turned out to be too big for my tiny wrist).
Best 'must own' video G-SHOCK lineup I've seen. Great choices all!
Excellent choices! I do have the 5610 myself, and eyeing up a positive display g9000 mudman as well! Another fun video as watches should be
I think my next watch will be a G-Shock Square, simply because I prefer the sleeker design.
Nice video on the Gs! I have both the DW and GWM models. I can't really warm to the CasioOaks (unpopular opinion, I know). I also have the Mudman with the red buttons and the text lighting up is pretty awesome!
Great video. All classics.
Great channel my man.been collecting them since 84.5400,5200,5600c all amongst my herd,love the 6900/5600e/G-9000.
However legibility is a big deal to me now so I wear the G-Shock GR-B100 mostly everyday.look it up,it's a STUNNER.🤙
I have g shock 5600e . One of the simple hardy classy delegent look.
Absolutely brilliant vid as usual Russell - love your 5 picks. My fave G that I own is the GW 5000U 💪🏻
Thank you my friend!
I love Casio, and especially G-Shock. My first and only G-Shock is the gw-m5610. I got it about 2 years ago, and I use it almost daily. Its solar battery and extreme accuracy have made it THE time/day/date reference for every other watch/clock in the house.
As interesting as their other references are, I won't be needing another G-Shock for 10-15 years (unless I take up some mud related sport/job haha.)
I will probably get one myself 😊
Nobody NEEDS another G-Shock so don’t let that stop you. 😊
I own 3 of these 5 (plus a few more) and the gd-350 is by far and away my favorite and most worn. The user interface is just the bees knees and I use the vibrating alarm so much, I can now never be without one. That gbd-200 is on my short list. The point is, pick a gshock with the most appealing features for your lifestyle and off you go!
Cheers Robert!
And gd-350 has largest digits, except those smartwatches ofc
I've refurbished my GW-M5600 which I've worn for 13 years now and it looks brand new again. Didn't need another one. For me It's still the best and most durable watch I can think of. I bought a GBD-200 1er yesterday, and it's beautiful! I don't think I'll ever use the smart functions (saves a lot of battery) but it's absolutely worth the buy! Had to get it when I saw it.😁
Thank you for watching my friend!
Excellent choices! Great video 👍
thoughts on the Ti ones? the trantixii or something like that. lots of interesting colors but I've not seen in person or held yet.
I’ve got the same Gshock about 4-5 times. My first one I gave to my brother when he became a police officer and it still works as the day I got it. I’ve then gotten the same model as gifts for family and friends. Best watch I’ve owned in regards to durability and function.
Your videos amzing, easy to listen, a bit fun a bit facts in that enthusiastic presentation, love it, keep going this way
Thank you my friend!
I spent the last few months watching watch content and learning about things, find it all very enjoyable as infotainment. At the end of the day only thing I purchased was the GSHOCK GAB 2100. It's so good i feel little desire to buy other watches...
a very nice list Russell, I only have the G-Shock solar square from this list . I do have a mud resist but it is the GG-1000 ana-digi Mudmaster I use for trekking and mountaineering also the GA-700 in red, love the colour and my very favourite for traveling, and the Casio Royale AE-1200 world timer. But I do like your list too!
Thanks to you, I've bought my first g shock the gw5610 u and I really love it! I wear it everyday.
Thank you from Philppines with love!
Yes!!! Congratulations my friend!!!!!!
I have to agree Russel the GBD-200 display is bonkers, incredibly readable even from the moon (assuming you have a decent enough telescope and you're not on the wrong side of the planet). The 5610 is probably my favourite though (bonded with this one during a couple of surgeries in hospital a few years ago, this one will never be sold) ahead of my full metal 5000's and the resin 5600's. I'm also a fan of the 7900 so you can tell the tide and what the moon phase is without even looking up, now that really is amazing.
Legend Anthony!
If you like the GBD-200's MIP display and the 7900's tide and moon phase display, then look up the GBX-100, which has BOTH!
@@taoistgoth I might just have a new slight itch to scratch on the GBX-100, so many watches and so few wrists but there is always room for maybe one more. Many thanks for the suggestion.
@@anthonystevens8683 You're welcome
I have a small size wrist and was wary about wearing a G-Shock watch because of them being very bulky and would probably be like wearing a tower block on my wrist.
I did however come across the 5610's and went ahead and purchased the negative display version when I saw it in a sale price from Amazon. I was surprised how well it wore on my wrist and having Multiband 6 and tough solar. Because of this I went ahead and purchased the positive display one. I really enjoy wearing them.
My favourite is the GD-120. I've had mine for 8 years now - it saw me through pre-university, military service, university, and now working life.
Absolutely awesome my friend!!!
The GD-350 is an under rated watch
I liked the Neo Tokyo range that Casio did, a few years ago.
You ever reviewed those, Russ?
Based on the AKIRA film setting, of Japan in the future.
All the best.
I think literally everyone should own a DW5600, absolute essential in life
100% agree my friend! Hope you are well!!
Nice show again! My favourite sofar is the MTG-B2000
Great show as ever. Love that blue Gshock. 👍
Cheers Jim!
I bought my first G Shock, GW B5600SL 5. Didn't like it at first, love it now!
Great episode. Got to love a G-Shock! My top 5 in no particular order are: 5610, 6900, GAW-100B (casiona), GAC-100, GW-3000B.
Thanks my friend!
Love Crete! We stayed at Koutouloufari near Piskopiano. Hired a quad and visited the Monastery Panagia Kera Kardiotissa, Psychro Cave and Rosa's Gorge - Gorgeous.
Yes, more G-Shock madness. The punters love the G.
Cheers Paul!
i doesn't matter if i like the watch or not, your content always makes me smile, great stuff!
Nice video about G-Shock. I hava always been a Casio fanboy. 1989 i bought a square G-Shock, about 5 years ago i bought a G-Shock mudmaster triple sensor. 2020 because of the pandemi i bought a white(i work in the medial Sector) Casioak. And 2021 i got a G-Shock Mudman in birthday present from my wife. So i have four G-Shocks it is more than enough for me. I must have time to enjoy them, and my other watches too.
Yes! G9000! Wearing mine now.
I've got two - the 5600 (I have the all black with negative display) and 2100 Casioak - I have the all grey.
5610 might be another I will go for.
I have trouble getting into the DW5600 because of the Adjust button. It's recessed and on the left side of the case so changing anything is a pain. I love my GD-350 and think it's a better King G-Shock. I also really like my GA-800 ana-digi because it is a super legible 3-hander with a positive STN display and dual LEDs. As long as you can get over the gas mask look I think it's a great contender for all-rounder.
Surely Casio will eventually put the clear GBD200 display into more of their line up. It would look amazing in the 5600 range!
Has to my friend!!!!
The last one looks good. Do they do it in a sand camouflage colour ?
I’m loving my GBD-200. My first G-Shock!!
Yes!!!!!!!!
Love my 5610u just ironically ticks all the boxes, I've since bought a 2100 Bluetooth solar version which is awesome too
Love your videos keep them coming
Cheers Samuel!!!
I really liked GBD200's display. Is there a non smartwatch version of this watch?
I've got a Casio DW-8300 'Stargate' in fantastic condition. It's an absolute digital monster and I love it.
Great list. For me, nothing can beat the old dw 6600.
ha .. just got your number one ... before seezing the vid... great taste man :)))) ... it s my first casio/g shock and i love how this brand created it s own niche!
Superb my friend congratulations!!!
Squares with MIP displays are being released in April. Defo going to grab one.
For the mudmen my pick g9300 has a positive display, moonphase, temp and digi compass along with the rest of the usual extras amazing
Very cool
About to grab a gbd 200! Great list sir!
Are the screens exactly the same for the square Gshocks? DW5600 and GW5620? I want to get a screen protector for mine.
You forgot the frogman! Gw-200, gwf-1000, even the newer gwf-a1000 analog frogman is good. It's the only line that g shock makes that still comes with a screw down caseback and is iso certified! It's an absolute classic!
Love this channel, very entertaining and My next watch will be a gshock! 😁
Jamie!! Appreciate this a lot my friend!
Love those choices I’m obsessed with the Rangeman at the moment…
Yes!!!!
The gulf man is a good one too. With the titanium back. 🔥
Great show Russ.
Thank you my friend!!!
Hey I wish he included the ae 500 I kinda love those the first analogue digi G
great vid pal! really fun. So far, my 3 Gs are a DW5600E ( a must), a GBD 200UU-1 (great modern), and a Mudmaster GG-B100 (have to have a master of G)...Even though I just started this year collecting Gs, I am eyeing a couple more in the future. I still love all my autos and wear them in a rotation, but the G shock world is a fun one. Better late than never!
regarding the GBD 200, could you change the entirety of the case for another colour? I'm not talking about the straps, I mean the whole body for another colour.
Really like your "chaotic" style, very unique presentation in your videos. It reminds me of the old 90s Gamesmaster, with Dominik Diamond. Only less swearing, but relentless and breathless :D
I'm also a big G-shock fan, got two so far, the B2100 and 5610U-1ER.
I love watches I love g-shocks too,just bought a GW-5000u as I like the look of the squares,already looking at getting another,I quite fancy 1 of the bluetooth squares with the compo bracelet.
I have a GM-B2100BD-1A, GMWB5000D-1 and I just ordered a DW5040PG-1. Love my steel G-Shocks.
I have the GMW- B5000-1 which is a square with a negative dial, chrome metal faceplate, and rubber strap. Love the thing. Would be nice to have sapphire glass though, as drunk me managed to somehow get a small nick right in the top left of the time part of the dial. lol
I’ve been wearing g-shocks since th 80’s but the GBD-200 is my favourite. I’d also add the GA-100… it’s huge and rugged and looks like you’re on some special ops mission
Cheers Gareth!
I already own four of the five of these. I just added the G-9000 Mud Man to my Amazon cart. Lol. Great video.
Yes!!!! Well done my friend!!
I have 3 Gs in my humble watch collection, all solar powered, all big and bold and all multi band 6 (from the older to the newer purchase) :
- GW-3000 black with the orange markers dial
- GWN-1000C aka The Gulfmaster in the darth color scheme
- GW-9400 aka The Rangeman in the Men in Sunrise color scheme, I could not resist to have one of the toughest G-Shock in this crazy pinkurple color
I also had and sold the GW-M5610BB in all black shiny resin, the GD-X6900GD in rose gold and the GWX-5600C in red shiny resin.
Yep, that MIP display is brill, espesh for an oldie like me, just luvvin' my GBX 100.................
I have one of the original Caio G shock square from 1989 Dw 5200 that says the word Lithium on the crystal and it has a screwback case it has the regular light the later ones have electroluminescent back light I've had casio watches since I was a kid and have a large collection now I'm looking forward to get the casi oak great content
the last one though, beautiful
I own and love these three G-Shocks:
1. GW-5610 1ER
2. G-8000 in orange
3. GW-056E in blue
Once again Russ, very wise words 👌
Niceeeeee. Could u include the model's name and number onscreen for 2 seconds when you talk about it?
Good choices! I recently won a G-9000 Mudman with the red buttons at auction for $13! One of my proudest wins, that one!
I got 4 of 5 ... Yeah... thanks for your sharing... Your video is awaresome
