OVERPRICED - But cool as can be

- Who else loves the square design? It is easily my favorite from this brand. The metal versions take it to the next level, even though they are arguably less practical and carry less 'value for money.' This DLC titanium B5000 costs about 15x the price of a classic 5610. And that one can do 95 percent of what this Titanium Camo version can. Logic dictates that is TCM1 is ridiculously overpriced. But when did this become a logical hobby? I don't think it ever was.... you need to go for the watches that hit you in the heart. This one certainly does for me. It's pretty amazing

The Bluetooth feature is awesome for people outside of multiband radio coverage, it keeps perfect time via Bluetooth with no hand holding required, it works just as transparently as multiband.
I love my Blue Camo Titanium Square. Probably my most worn watch. Great value to me. Awesome vid!
Beautiful shots Bruce! I'm also an outdoors enthusiast and took a five day island hopping, hiking adventure right when I bought my Ti stealth and bashed around a lot scrambling on rocks, and the DLC is still perfect. Casio should give their DLC a marketable name like Citizen does with their protective surface treatments (Duratect) and even invest into it a bit more. I'm a huge Casio fan boy, but Citizen really nails down value when it comes to Ti and treatments and I'd like to see Casio move in that direction more and give them some competition.
Anyway, my square was by no means a head decision, but alm heart and all that matters to me is the happiness it gives me when I put it on wrist for a hike. I hope you get a chance to check out the stealth because to me it is really gorgeous. I thought I'd like the camo more and planned on getting it, but I was surprised to find myself drawn to the stealth.
Hearing watch CZcamsrs talk about what's value and what's overpriced is one of those things that's just kind of funny
Agree, and when you are on this side it feels funnier hearing some viewers points of value or lack thereof are
I have both of these titanium ones, the camo and the stealth wealth black one. Both are amazing and you are right to go for the normal display - easier to read most of the time.
Another great review Bruce. Totally agree with you. And that positive display titanium model? Would LOVE to get it on my wrist as well.
Looking Dapper Sir Bruce...I took a new $43 DW5600 and modded it with an AliExpress identical lookalike metal kit (milled clasp too) for $62. Couldn’t be happier with it! (Too bad comments don’t allow pics)
Great review Bruce thanks 🙏.
Great video Bruce, I know exactly what you mean about the price compared to it's resin cased sister watches. I have a few of the resin ones and a 5610 but have fallen into the rabbit hole for some of the full metal options, they just look incredible but can draw unwanted attention...... I have the full black titanium with the positive display and that one gets the most wrist time of all my G-Shocks. Totally under the radar, at a glance looks like a resin square but feels completely different. It's odd but I don't give a pair of dingo's kidneys what other people think or if they see it as a $50 watch, I know what's on my wrist and that's what matters. Terrific intro footage of the outdoors.
I appreciate that. Great comment
Very nice piece. The square is the only G I like. And I have the wrist to support their gigantic offerings.
I know I overpaid, but I love my Bud square. It is my camping, Summer watch. I figured if I bought one Casio for the collection, it would have to be the Bud one.
Utah does look a beautiful place!
Struggle with these especially at $1,700 bucks compared to a Sinn.
Completely understand it's all subjective and each to their own.
Nice watch and a very balanced review. Thank you
Hey Bruce, enjoyed your video. I like what G-Shock is doing with these titanium models. I reckon the price is mostly justified too, if a little steep, it's just a question of perception; they cost significantly less than the MR-G line, yet offer something closer to the original G-Shock DNA with incredibly high quality fit and finish. Incidentally, you might like the new GW-5000U. I just had one imported from Japan last week; it's probably the most comfortable, and true to the original 1983 screw-back, of any of the currently available squares, and modestly priced around the $300 mark. The module has been updated to incorporate many of the benefits of the GMW-B5000 line. I reckon you'd love it. Keep up the good work!
Nice review!
The Aliexpress metal mod looks great, bought one for the Dw5600 Bb and totally woth it!
Great review - I had the blue camo (sold it). I have the all black Ti TCM-1 - love it - my absolute favorite bc of the positive display and the stealth nature of it. Best of luck in your search. I had the bling master - sold it as well and got the rose gold which I like better. Have an all SS for a beater (pos display). I also have the 'aged' model which I really like as well. I just love the squares.
Elbow deep in oil and grease today, and my gwm 5610 still comes away unscathed . I don’t think I’ll ever need another g shock, but that think looks the business!!
I can barely operate all the features on my iPhone but the BT Casio app is awesome
Amazingly clear, legible display.
Mate, that's beautiful where you filmed that intro (near your home?)..
Was a G Shock user in my younger more active years - had one on the bar pad of my off road race bike for two seasons and it performed flawlessly, couldn't fault it. As pure a tool you can get imho. Now I'm old and live a much more sedentary life I've little use for one so stick to automatics. Good video tho.
Cheers Mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, there were a couple locations all within a couple hours of where I live. Capitol Reef National Park, Browne Lake in the Uinta Range, the Green River, and Lower Calf Creek falls near Escalate. Utah is so beautiful I would have a really hard time leaving this state
Good review Bruce, and much better title LOl 😉
I think it is a great purchase. I have bought b5000g and it is going to be a watch for years. the only think i will have to do with it, is replacing the battery, but it is going to be in 20 years from now. I had swiss analog watch before, and it wasn't accurate, I had to leave it in service (another cost) every 6 years, it didn't have any backlight, it had lume, but we know how it works... i think G-Shock is a good choice for someone who wants to have a watch for long time and every conditions of terrain and weather.
Looking stylish Bruce. I love the titanium G-Shock Squares as well but 1700.00 is overpriced in my opinion. Second hand is the way to go in this price range. Thanks for the review of a really cool G-Shock ti square. Great content, editing and production value.
Да, 1000$ было бы неплохо...
I have this watch also, its marvelous :)
Funny, I just received a titanium mod kit from aliexpress for my square gshock today, and your video just showed up.
Cool watch!
Where did you picked up used? I’m not finding one for a good price.
That's the watch to wear in a LimpBizkit concert moshpit. ;)
But might be smart to ditch the suit if you go to that concert lol
Classy outfit, you should wear it on all your vids, looks seriously cool.
I thought I was watching an 80’s shopping channel there for a minute 😂
These watches will seem like a relative bargain once the $4k MR- G square is released.
Very interesting! Dressed up for a G-shock 🕶
Nice watch as all of The Gshock line. Personally y prefer The 5610 of Stainless steel .. or the gshock move
I'm not a casio guy..im a Seiko fanantic,,but I think it's worth it if u love casio and titanium is top end material..i mean I spent 300 to get my g757 like ten years ago..i say if u like it and if u can then buy it
I understand the appeal of the G-Shock as an affordable, reliable, and durable watch. I don't "get" the metal ones, but as long as other people do, have at 'er.
Haha! On point 😅 g shock and a suit!
Lol I'm glad it made you laugh
At that price point, it’s going to be Breitling Ani-digi titanium Aerospace for me
Agree
You’d have to baby the Breitling. Not nearly as robust as a g shock square
Which one do you prefer Bruce, this or the gold one?
This one
@@BruceWilliams but the Gold one such as classy!
Bruce, if I sent you my 5600 with Ali Express camo titanium mod kit would you do a comparison?
I appreciate it, but I would be rude to the ali express and I try not to be overly negative on YT
@@BruceWilliams haha, good call. It has a positive display, so it has that going for it :)
Glad you are enjoying it Bruce! I enjoy my blue titanium camo square now.
I would buy a 1000 euros version right away with 4 conditions: vibration alarm, countdown alarm for tea preparing, menu in my language, i dont like days abreviations and time format day/ month. In fact i wont buy any watch without those. Right now im using a Fenix6X Pro and an Active2, sorry Casio, i cant buy an awesome looking junk...
1400$ Canadian…well worth it 😮
A watch connected to a smartphone is not my thing as well. I'm really happy that I'm not the only one thinking like that. It's exactly the reason why I don't like to buy these types of G-Shocks.
Check out the GBD200.. 👍👍🤙
Bruce: Buying a titanium square and actually beating it.
My broke ass: buying a titanium bezel for my Bluetooth camo square to scratch my itch 😂
Sharp dressed man
As a Texan I’m getting the ZZ Top reference there... RIP Dusty Hill.
Over priced?! I think NOT. Love my "Stealth Wealth."
I want one haha
$1700 bucks? who gonna pay the rent! 😂
No pocket square?
An AliExpress 5600 titanium Camo bracelet/case mod with a GWB5600 G shock variant of your choice.
Basically all features, asthetics, G Shock app functionality, minus atomic time keeping. At a fraction of the price.
It’s a nice watch. But, I’ll stick with my $50 G-Shock that I bought at Walmart. When the battery dies, I just buy another one. That’s the beauty of it! I don’t even wear that much anymore. Only those rare occasions where I’m doing some really dirty work out in the yard or something like that do I wear it..
Can't fault that at all!
I have a $45 G-Shock I bought at Wal-Mart at least 9 years ago... still on its first battery! A few times I checked to make sure it wasn't solar powered. It's not -- just a crazy good battery.
$1700 can get you a real watch from a number of highly reputable companies. $20 gets something serviceable for camping.
This is a "real watch" from a reputable company, don't know what you're on
I have never been a digital watch fan , it's cool yeah but $1700 for a digital watch is a bit much .
Now a bargain compared to MR-G version
Probably knockoff case and bracelets out there for $100. For 200 more u can get a GS quarts!
the watch that poor people hate.
Damn near choked when I saw the price of these. Actually thought it was some kind of mistake. Casio got to be laughing. They made it out of dumbtanium.
I’ll buy it if you want to sell it.
I'm praying for an arctic camo
These Gshock specials would be too much at half the price!
Call me tight if you like. I bought a 5610 and added a aftermarket full metal kit. £150 all in. Much the same outcome for a fraction of the price.
Bruce are you going into the mountains to cook meth? lol
Personally, aside from its practicality, durability and robustness, I never got the appeal of the plastic monstrosities that are GShock watches. But as always each to their own... Glad you enjoy it ;)
They are undeniably ugly lol
Are you even wearing pants?
lol
