Unboxing of the all metal G-shock that everyone's talking about 😊
czcams.com/video/Kmjdrl5URf0/video.htmlsi=xZUnKoe3Jt2o8Gbb
If you only want one g-shock in your collection, one can make a good case for the GW-5000U. It also has a strap that's a bit more comfortable than the GW-M5610U's. I got mine in a sale for CAD$300, and I can't see myself ever selling it.
Oh totally... the GW-5000U will never be sold. It's for life. Going to pass it down to my grandkids if the earth is still alive till then.
You are absolutely right about the softer resin strap that's so much more comfortable. In fact, that is one of the talking points of the review that I am doing next week. Would love to have your inputs post that because you own one yourself 😃
You are right. The 5000 is the King and the only one that matters if you can have only one. It is great in every way.
It sure rules them all. It has gone from a collector piece to daily beater haha
I totally agree with you !!! Mine arrived today, I bought it on ebay straight from Japan! I don't sell this one, I won't trade it! Wonderful watch! I'm Brazilian and here in Brazil it's not sold. I paid US$260 for the King of G-SHOCK! Whoever owns one of these has a jewel 💎!!!
Congratulations on getting one. It's a truly amazing timepiece :)
Awesome video, I recently purchased the same watch while on trip to Japan, I had no idea what a big deal this Gshock is, I just thought it looked cool so I picked it up from the bunch, thanks for the heads up.
Wow! I wish I could travel to Japan every week to pick up all the JDM there are. Congratulations on your G-shock. This bad boy will last decades! Enjoy it
Thank you for your support of a small time creator :)

Great review bhaiya .. just ordered one .. will check out your other vids .. all the best bro!
Thank you bro 😊
I’m using an iOS device and I downloaded the app Clock Wave and that’s where I manually sync my watch. I’m also living in a region where it can’t receive the signal from the tower and this app fix that issue. I can sync my app anytime I want, though it’s not automatic, it’s better to have this option than none.
That's awesome. YES, I have done the same for Android on Radio Watch Sync app. I have made a video on the same.. Good stuff, sir 👏
Had mine for two months now, amazing watch.
It sure is 😃
Do check out the unboxing of another legendary all-metal G-shock going up on the channel tomorrow. Thank you 🙏
I love mine too ! I added the Gen 2 G-Shock Combi Bracelet and added bull bars, it is watch perfection ! You really do not need any other watch.
Woo! That sounds like an awesome mod. Well done..
I ordered 2 combi bracelets, which are taking forever to arrive. One is meant for 5000u. I can't to install. I will be making a video when it arrives.
Hi Sir, you had suggested me a g shock gd350, but I did not like as my main point to buy was to have large numbers to be displayed. Just like the GBD 200 series.. but these are expensive.
Any other series with Big numbers?
Agree 100% it's the most versatile of G-Shocks because it doesn't look like an aliens dinner plate!
✌️✌️😊
Great watch! I have the older GW 5000, not the 'U'. The atomic receiver struggles to update compared to my other 5610 models. I think the heavy stainless steel build can restrict the radio signal. I live in the UK.
That's awesome Steve. Welcome to the channel.
Your GW 5000 has better light than the U version. I guess Casio did that to conserve battery. I am yet to own the 5610 but you are right. It could be the stainless steel that makes it difficult to receive the signal. I am in India and I have to do it manually through an app.
@@TickTockTreasures 5610 I find a better fit on the slimmer wrist. I have two. GW 5000 is still the King!! 👍
@stevejones6503 I guess it's because 5000's screwback adds extra thickness and doesn't sit as snug as the 5610 does but I still love it
I bought the same watch using the same link you have posted. Not sure what UKCA mean written on the back of the watch. I also have one GW5000U-1ER, that says the same thing. How do we identify the difference between 1JF and 1ER?
Great review, enjoy your watch.
Thank you, Ian. I appreciate your support 🙏
You nailed it. Great iconic designed watch.
Thank you, Michael 😊 It sure is
Awesome review well done
Thank you, Safwan. I really appreciate it. There's more watch reviews coming soon. Have a great weekend and Stay tuned 🙏
Great review brother 👍
Thanks brother 🙂👍
bought a gw-b5600bc years back for similar reasons
which module number is yours?
Thats lovely. Mine is the GW-5000U-1JF
Excellent video. I have now subscribed.
Thank you so much. Welcome to the channel 🙏
Great watch, my daily beater one, I have the full metal g-shock GMW-B5000D-1ER, but this one is more confortable, and don't scratches the same way. I like the very soft resin band. I don't sell this one for sure.
Same..I have both of those but I always prefer the 5000u for daiky wear. I choose the Gmw-B5000 only for special occasions
My Casio royal (ae1200) got some minimal scratches on its glass is there any possibility to change its glass into sapphire crystal ? I saw some mods kit converting in to titanium case but I think it’s not available India
You can buff off the minor scratches. I have made a short video with MRW-200H. Check it out.
If you want the crystal changed then check with @modkeeping on Instagram. They are based in Pune.
@@TickTockTreasures I think buffing of is not an permanent solution again it may cause scratches
Yea i love this watch. I usually wear it for when i actually go out on a friday or saturday night
I do, too. In fact, I go out so I have a reason to wear this. What a life haha
@@TickTockTreasures roger that. I like that most people probably think its just a regular g shock. They dont know that its kinda special.
@@rjzavala87 it's really sad that Indians have to have it shipped from abroad. This will sell like hot cakes.
I don't go out.... I'll probably just keep it in the box🤣
Meu relógio preferido caixa de aço fundo rosqueado g shock é show 👏👏
I have the none U version and still rocks🫡
but this with mip display would be the best, when will you make one gshock 😒
I was thinking the same. Imagine this G with a MIP display. They have the MIP for those fitness tracker GBD models...so unnecessary
This is a great watch which would be improved with a combi band. For generating a time sync signal a phone app or a raspberry pi program can do the job.
Yes absolutely..
I have made a video on the sync app. It's fun playing around with it
I seriously think Casio needs to include the screw down caseback in all the G-lide line. Those are watches meant for surfing or other sports that need a strong waterproof rating
That's an idea! Do you think the plate with screws don't do as well a job? If Casio did what you are suggesting then Casio fans would want it on all G shock models 🤪
Amazing watch! I've been using with combi bracelet since mid 2021 as a daily.
It sure is. I wish I could get my hands on a quality combi bracelet in India 😞
@@TickTockTreasures I totally understand you. I'm from Brazil and had to find my way around. I bought the GW-b5600bc-1B, took off the combi and sold with a regular band.
@@brunof.6452 wow! That's an idea. Thank you 😊
@@TickTockTreasures welcome! Good luck!
Whats the meaning of atomic time? There are some towers and the watch automatically connects to that signals and adjust the time without even changing?
I am so confused in 5000 and 5600 😭
A watch that has Multiband tech has the capability to receive time being broadcasted via radio waved by stations located at 6 different locations in the world. This is atomic time and is always accurate.
We aren't in the range of these station's signals. We can use the app to manually sync the watches to AtomiC time
@@TickTockTreasures so it's better to buy dw5600EU solar ??
@kartikgoel752 DW-5600 isn't Tough Solar. It's the G-5600UE
@@TickTockTreasures yeah I meant UE*
Just ordered one today from Japan too
CONGRATULATIONS! You are going to love it. I don't know about you but I am missing those 3 days in which I tracked this SOB on FedEX app and the euphoria I felt every time there was an update that it has moved further haha
the solar models still uses a battery , which is made by only one company ( Panasonic ) , is expensive and difficult to find . also atomic sync doesn't work in India , so no use for me . I opted for the white dw-5600mw-7dr ( module 3229 ) on October ( Rs 4479 on flipkart ) , which uses the cheap and plentiful CR2016 battery , and the simple back-plate is easier to remove for DIY battery change . I also felt that the display is a wee bit clearer on non-solar models . anyway congratulations for your exciting new timer 😇
Yes, they do. The rechargeable batteries maybe hard to find in India but you find them elsewhere. Moreover, you don't have to worry about the rechargeable battery in a tough solar watch for 15-20 years if it's well taken care of..
As for the Atomic time, we can manually sync it using an app. I did it a week ago...today when I checked it still has kept very close with the Atomic time. You may have to spend 3 min every 2 weeks or every month to re-do the sync progress which I find quite exhilarating.
Congratulations on the Dw-5600
Another reason I got this was because of the stainless steel core. I wouldn't want a broken lug or an loose lug hole because of overuse rendering the watch useless. It's good as long as you take good care of it.
There is also a very nice GW-M5610MW-7JF. I' ve collected most positive GW-M5610's.
@HLi-eu5er I looked that up. Thats all white which will become yellow in a couple of years. But the fact that you have different colors for 5610 is awesome. Well done 💪
@@TickTockTreasures I know, but it looks so good. I do have spare parts... Did you know that the BGD-5000 is a smaller GW-M5610? I have a set in MD-9.
How much you paid customs and total expenses?
I got this on offer from a seller in Japan on Amazon US. Including shipping, it was 20k and the tax was 42% on it. So, almost 29k.
Due to popular demand, I am making a video on the different places I buy watches from to pick up the ones that aren't available in India. Please subscribe if you haven't already. Thank you.
You are wise to buy this while it’s still available. Truly one of the best.
Yes! I wanted to wait till New year's but I feared they would run out of stock, and I would be forced to buy a used one on eBay. I'm glad I picked one up when I did.
Have you checked out the GMW-B5000?
@@TickTockTreasures I would get a gmwb5000 if the price was really good. But the rubber strap on this one looks more comfortable!
Oh yes! The soft resin on this one feels so good on the skin compared to the hard resin bands of the 5600 and 5610s and the likes. I have ordered a combi bracelet for this just to see how it looks and feels
I own the 500u, a crappy watch, no vibrations. I was aware of it but i could not get used with this. I wear it very rare, i use mostly a Garmin Fenix6X Pro. Not a good watch, either, to be fair.
Well, there is no comparison- one is a sturdy, non-smart watch that is starting to have a cult following because of its a Reborn series modeled after the first G, DW-5000C of 1983. And the other is a modern day smart watch that needs to be handled with care.
I personally love the 5000U because it has heft and that adds to its premium nature. We all have our own likes and dislikes.
Have you checked out the GW-5610? Maybe that's more to your liking?
Please share the mode how i can import this to india 😊

Good choice. Mine is a keeper.
Thank you. It's going to keep you company for decades to come :)
Which site did u buy it from ?
Chrono24.in
The 5610 is still the best, based on cost and features.
I own 65 Watches, i own one Rolex and omega seamaster too… but i love my 5000u and my 5040 , also my japanese 6900 firefox.
That's awesome. I have heard 2 others who have Rolexes and Seamasters that love their G-Shocks especially the all-metal ones. There's so much to love about them. I am yet to pick up a 6900. Do you think I should get the regular one or spend extra and get the Japanese one?
I think you have to input the time manually if you don't get a signal, my friend. I'm from Scotland and i managed to acquire this watch through Amazon. It is more expensive than other squares, but well worth the cost. A great watch, and probably one of the watches in my collection I would never sell. Nice review, and views on what is as possibly the perfect watch!
I feel bad to have acquired the MB6 watch and nor have the option work especially after spending more than I would on GW M5610. I used the Radio Watch Sync app to receive the Shangqui City (BPC) signal via phone
My GW-5000U-1JF came in the same display box as yours, whilst GWM-B5000PB-6 (violet) and GWM-B5000RD-4 (burgundy) both came in the steel tins. Not quite as presentable, unfortunately. It's most likely because the violet and burgundy watches were for sold internationally. Had I got JF versions, I would have had the display box.
You are absolutely right- the case depends on which market the watch is meant for. The JDM watches have the best boxes and packaging.
@@TickTockTreasures Here's one thing for anyone on here wanting a GW-5000U, they MUST look carefully for the "U" for update model, not just a GW-5000. Someone could end up purchasing the older model by mistake. I know, because I nearly did that myself.
As far as time keeping, you should be able to pick up the time synch broadcasts in India. I live in Australia and someone is able to pick up the Japanese station from Melbourne.
hey, what about the services.
The seller in Japan I bought from offers Worldwide warranty. So, you can take to an Authorized Casio Service center near you
Brilliant watch but the 5610u remains a better looking gshock in my opinion and still gives you everything you need and currently only £79 here in the UK
I have my eyes on the 5610U. That one has kind of a cult following. On my priority list of reasons to buy a watch, aesthetics is after features and durability. I picked up the 5000U for its stainless steel core (and hence lugs). But definitely picking up the 5610U. Thank you for the recommendation and your comment. I appreciate it 🙏
@@TickTockTreasures Your approach in judging durability is too simplified and wrong. The plastic lugs, in theory, are less durable than the steel lugs. However, when treated carefully they shouldn't break, but what is going to rot and break eventually is the resin band. The 5610 has urethan strap while the 5000 has a softer strap which is a mix from silicone and urethan or contains softeners, which will make it break faster. I also saw a comment below another video where someone claimed that his 5000 strap broke eariler than his 5610 strap, which proves the theory. The 5610 is the more durable watch, as the strap replacement intervalls are longer.
@heinodersanger9809 I understand. But my review is based on some of the ebay posts I have seen of 3-5 year old G shocks with broken lugs being sold for parts. Don't get me wrong- I love the 5610U and I intend to buy it in the coming week. I was just sharing my opinion.
Best square ever. I own 5610u and 5000u. 5000u is edc.😊
I am waiting to purchase the 5610 and join the cult
Merci pour ces informations , je suis du même avis que vous! Bravo.
How to buy from India..?
Hi! This is not released in India. It needs to be imported from sellers in Japan. Go on the Chrono24 app and you will find sellers who are all vetted and genuine. Thank you for commenting.
Setting Atomic Time if you dont receive the signal on your G Shock

How much did it cost you in total in India?
With custom duties and taxes, 28k

Review the G1056 GX 56BB 1 SDR. The Mudmaster.
Added to the list ✌️
This watch has Module No. 3495. G-Shock doesn't sell any watch in India with this module
Watches with Module No. 3461 are sold in India
Is there any improvement in 3495 over 3461? Only difference I found is 3461 has bluetooth while 3495 doesn't
According to what I researched the difference between the two is that 3495 had lesser options for World Time compared to the 3461.
3495 has Multiband whereas as you pointed out 3461 has Bluetooth for accurate time-keeping. The disadvantage of the latter is that the time on the watch is dependent on the time on your phone which can be set accurately if you have an Atomic Clock app on your phone that sets the phone time daily.
I will be exploring the Bluetooth time setup since I got one yesterday
Bro can you not hold the watch still, or what??
I tried but the watch kept moving....I think it's got a life of its own
Gotta keep the watch still in front of the camera so we can admire it better.
I apologize for that. It was my first time. I am learning as I go. Now I have better equipment and the workdesk is set up for better videos.
Also, part of the reason is that I wasn't conscious of the watch shakes because I was excited to hold it for the first time haha.
@@TickTockTreasuresit is a nice watch for sure 👍
Casio has them in stock now
In India it's not sold
Please make a video on your own watch collection
I have 2 of those videos and since then I have bought a few more watches, so I guess more videos are due ;D
@@TickTockTreasures guess I missed those videos let me check it out😄
haha they got you with all the marketing, its just a G shock lol. no it's not a collector's item lol.. sitting here wearing the 1JF myself
I hope they continue to get me haha.
One person's daily beater is another person's collector item I suppose.
Absolutely the BEST G-shock, might be ....missing only one function - bluetooth
A Bluetooth and better viewing angle would have made this the holy grail of G-shock watches
The full metal g-shock GMW-B5000D-1ER is bluetooth enabled with a very good STN lcd display.
so much talk but doesnt even write the model number in the description. nor says it clearly enough number of times in video. what is this bruh?
I guess I got very excited. I did mention it a few times but I will be extra aware to make a note of it in the description. I will edit it now..
Thank you for watching the video. I really appreciate your time and comment
psyche is definitely an Indian fella.the his commenting.so fuckin yindiann
@@flyb3n haha most Indians are difficult to please
Bro what is the problem if you speak in Hindi we connect with you more than now
Because my Audience is Global. I enable Hindi subtitles on all my videos for your benefit.
If he speaks Hindi we cannot understand nut
too much talking but finally i think you fail to prove that it is best
just back good screw (is that enough to talk this much)
It was my first video and we all learn as we go but thank you for the feedback. I have been criticized for this and as I have gone on I know I have gotten better. The full review of this watch is coming up...next week..
Also, do check out another unboxing of a brilliant G-shock happening today and that video is 1000 times better..guaranteed
