Here's another owners opinion: There's absolutely nothing wrong with the bracelet, in fact quite the contrary. I own quite a lot of watches, have tested even more, and I have never ever come across more comfortable bracelet in my whole life. It is just incredibly comfortable and light. I have way more expensive Swiss made watches in my collection and their bracelets may well be sturdier and chunkier and more expensive - but as bracelets - they are actually worse. I often change them right away to leather or nato straps, just because they are so heavy, unforgiving and painful to wear long times.
The whole idea of the new MTG and the rest of the new g shock line is to make it lighter, and more durable using high end components with the carbon core tech material while being cost efficient. Its all about comfortability while being tough like titanium to stainless steel. The MR-G is more focused on thickness of the material using all stainless steel using high end parts. That's why its so expensive. The MTG is it's little brother.
Great points and good visuals up close and on wrist. I am waiting for the blacked out version with the black rubber strap similar to your MTG1000. I agree with your concerns regarding the new bracelet. The MTG1000 is much harder to read although I like its thickness better. However, it does not have a hands move feature.
I just got the B1000 (the same one you used for comparison) while comparing them with the newer B2000 at the local store. Yes, the B1000 have smaller than usual G-Shock dimensions (smaller than my Rangeman & Gravity Defier) but that is good news to me as i have a small wrist.
Good video. I have the Bordeaux version and the blue one. The bracelet has raised centre links, unlike the B1000 bracelet. I don't like the black rectangles either. Ugly. The clasp on mine was rattly and Casio told me was normal. I ended up using Sellotape to stop the little crossbar moving. I still love the watch though. Thanks for the video. You would probably also like the new analogue Frogman, which uses a similar or identical module. I now have 3. All the best. One correction: the MRG watches are made of titanium. Maybe that's why they don't use the resin in the bracelet.
I have the newer b3000 which has a very similar bracelet. It's nicely finished but i agree about the rattling. There's a lot of movement between the links and the b3000 also has quick release end links which don't help. Not sure if it designed that way to aid comfort because it is very comfortable on wrist. The shell of the clasp is a real weak point and today I noticed that there was a clinking noise coming from the lock mechanism. I took it apart and fettled the assembly and now it's fine. Not something you would expect to do on a $1000 watch though.🤷♂️
Hey good video and thanks for your thoughts on this watch. I was really into it, but I came across the newer Frogman GWFA1000-1A2 and now I’m unsure which one to get. I’m leaning towards The Frog, is $200 less, but in my opinion looks a lot better than the MTG. The bracelet on this watch it’s truly disappointing for sure though.

Loving the look of this new MTG
I have this watch, it's stunning. I don't agree with the views on the bracelet, i think it's actually very good. I have never felt it was cheap

Finally a vid of MTG I'm eyeing on, not sure if should take it because stock image usually makes it look very good, seeing it in videos now I want it.

Interesting review with different point of view. Thanks.
I like your video, I think you did a good job showing it to us.

Great honest feedback
Great inxo! To the point, no bs. I think I'm going for the MTG1000
Amazing watch. Congratulations on a good life choice.
This is 51mm an the previous is 58.... this is why you do measurements

Honest review.
i really like it, in Poland it cost 1450euro, i think im gonna buy it on the christmas, thumb up
Any idea how to open if it is neccessary to replace the Akku?
Know how to change the battery? I have a replacement but cant find it anywhere online.....thanks!
Thy both look great, the B2000 is probably too thick though for an all-day watch...
Oh cool the strap is light just what I wanted
Is it possible to adjust the watch strap?

Buy the frog. Or something simmilar… when the right time comes, U will upgrade to MTG… thrust me on this… step..by.step..
It looks dope af but i hate when expensive sh%t feels cheap.
What is your opinion on the rubber strap on the 1000?
I love the rubber strap on the 1000, would recommend
Спасибо !!!!
MR-G's are all titanium, not stainless.
That makes sense
Is it automated or does it need a battery? Thanks!
Its solar
How to legit them?
What size
Nice video and closed up views
0:36 beautiful
Great watch, awful bracelet. Thanks for sharing.
How can you get so worked up about those things on the strap ... I mean seriously, you will never look at it on your wrist.
Leave him alone
BUY AP or RM
AP, RM is a fad
For that kind of money, buy something better than a watch.
it's not octagonal, that's 12 sides right there.
Вигляда надійно, у всіх моїх годинниках браслети то слабке місце.
