- It has taken 3 weeks or so for me to deep dive and really understand this watch to the degree I like to before I talk about it with any level of authority... Now I can categorically say it’s the ultimate travelling companion watch. The fact it has three systems to understand its location and timezone; I.e. Bluetooth via G-Shock Connected App, Multi Band 6 and GPS makes it a powerful beast - you are unlikely to ever be in a situation where you don’t know your location again thanks to the Gravitymaster - this is one smart watch. You may even find the answer if you are trying to find things to do at a departure gate ... :)
In this video I cover three of the most critical functionalities as an international traveller with this watch, I also cover daylight saving, power save and multi band 6 functions at a high level. I even do a demo of a Power Save ‘wake up’ of my Metal Square as a bonus...

StormRider 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’. I use products that can put up with harsh environments such as 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 the StormRider 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, just look at the Les Twins vs Rush Ball G-Shock real toughness Japan video where breakdancing professionals use G-Shocks, or see PradaG vs Smurf vs Stripes use G-Shocks. You see other athletes also use G-Shock such as Tiger Shroff
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 am interested in the the art or making G-Shock watches
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
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 :)

The GPW-2000 is definitely not to be missed; I am glad I managed to pick one up in 2020. Do you know this is the first and the last model to feature 3-way time synchronisation (Bluetooth, Multiband 6 and GPS) in a mass market model (though it's still a high-end Gravity Master)? Now the functionality of 3-way time synchronisation is strictly reserved for the ultra high-end MRG-G2000 only, not even the more affordable MRG-B1000 or MRG-G1000! These two basic MRG models either feature Bluetooth and Multiband 6 or GPS and Multiband 6, not all 3. Obviously it is a shift of product strategy by Casio. I realised this as even new Carbon Core Guard Gravity Master and new analogue Frogman do not get equipped with GPS but only Bluetooth and Multiband 6.
I am glad I managed to secure a piece of the GPW-2000 even after it was discontinued. Never regretted this purchase. Today I am still wearing this on rotation with my other watches. So, if you ever come across one in the showcase, grab it!
Yes it's a very special watch, and as you say hold technology only reserved for the top top end options. It's would be virtually impossible to get yourself in a situation where you cant get it to auto-synch itself to the proper time via one of those three options. It's also a great balance visually and I wear it both casual and in smart attire. The other incredible thing is the power of the backlight, it can literally light up a room, always surprises me... Cheers!
@@stormrider1119 You are absolutely right! It does have torch-like LED backlight to light up a room. Glad you appreciate the watch. Overall, it's a technology marvel packed into a watch. Moreover it looks good aesthetically. This is indeed a complete timepiece, great for anyone who can wear a fairly large watch.
@@jamess8175 it's on my wrist today thanks to your comment. Love it.
@@stormrider1119 You are welcome. You make a good watch channel. Keep it up! 💪
@@jamess8175 many thanks for the support, it is much appreciated.
Looks complicated at first glance but this video makes me realise its pretty straightforward. Thanks!
Yes with a watch like this you need to invest some time to understand it in depth, but that's why we love them eh! And the G-Shock Connected app really makes it a breeze. Cheers...
Excellent review and awesome g-shock!
Thanks Harley B, much appreciated. It is indeed an awesome watch, so much tech packed into that thing. Cheers!
I didn’t know that new model had so many functions. Fantastic video!
Thanks man. Yes it's pretty advanced in a number of ways, GPS being the major USP. Cheers!
Thank you Very much, I liked your video, very good explaining, and good job , well done👏👏👏👏😊
Thank you for the kind words, it's a very complicated watch so I wanted to take people through it's functions in a simple way. I'm glad it helped. :)
Hey Stormrider I bought this Watch a few days ago. I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Looking forward to
Your tutorial on using this Beauty.
Enjoy, you won’t be disappointed at this engineering masterpiece…
@@stormrider1119 Thank You. I’m also looking forward to getting the Mudmaster GWG2000 during the Boxing Day Weekend. Have a Merry Christmas.
Would love to see a comparison between the Gravitymaster and the
Gwrb1000 Gravitymaster
Sir how can I check the battery level or it’s automatically showing the level battery ?
Hello since you love water sports for for the GWF 1000 Frogman has the multi band 6 and its solar...dont need the triple sensor features
Yes I don't own a Frogman yet but have been considering one for a while.
I wanted this watch. There was a huge discount on the U.S. g-shock site. Unfortunately they’ve sold out. Any idea whether this model has been discontinued? Can’t wait for your analogue frogman review. That’s one I’m seriously thinking of getting.
Cheers Mel. So this specific GravityMaster has indeed been discontinued unfortunately. There is a new line of GravityMaster but they are a rather different looking watch, I haven't worn one so can't really comment but they have a different look to them than this model. So if you want this model you will need to look at Amazon / Ebay I guess. Yes I'm looking forward to the new Frogman, still not clear when I will get access to one as availability seems scarce. Cheers...
@@stormrider1119 It would be a shame if Cssio didn't make a similar model to this. The latest Gravitymaster isn't as attractive as this, although it seems to have more features.
@@raksh9 I 100% agree. There is something very classy about this model the new one doesn't have. I'm sure it's a great functional watch but the original is very special. Cheers...
I got a 1000. Only complaint is why the hands have to extend so far on the non-pointing side. That side on the minute hand covers half the hour hand. Sort of dumb.
It is to increase the gravitational load the hands can take (i.e. they can 'handle more roughness' that way) according to Casio.
Good observation and thanks to Richard for the explanation. Cheers!
Looks like Gshock discontinued this and the GWG-1000’s. No longer listed on their site.
I have definitely seen GWG 1000s in Casio shops recently, you can still pick them up at retail. This model GPW 2000 is discontinued yes, avaliable on Amazon and rising in value as far as I can tell as the new GravityMasters are rather a different look and feel.
StormRider it wasn’t that long ago I was on Gshock and that 2000 was still for sale.
Interesting, I assumed it would have been discontinued at least two years ago...
@@stormrider1119 I have the GPW 2000 the blue one which I bought in 2019, good thing I bought it then, it seems they discontinued them which I find it odd... Don't they discontinue them successor comes out like gpw 2000 replaced the gpw 1000.... Seems odd to me..
@@Manny13840 yes it's odd to me too. The new GravityMaster is obviously an impressive ND technologically capable watch but it is totally different to the GPW 2000. I'm not sure what the thought process is. The 2000 is a seriouly classy watch and anyone who owns one will be happy they got it when they did. It's the only one which holds the same technology as the top top end MRG but doesnt cost the same high price. Thank you for the comment!
