A great set of G shocks. The GW-5000U ia amazing, the best, gotta get one. For the future, a MIP square with tough Solar, atomic etc, with steel screwdown back would be absolute perfection.
i told my 4 y.o. son yesterday: "Lets get into it!", and he started crying.
Absolutely love it!!!!!!
Shouldnt headbutt youre 4 year old, ofc hes gonna cry😂
@@michielroskam3877 I did the face and the look.
😂
I died
Always wanted a G shock😢
Do it!!!!!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR they're so expensive though, cheapest one I could find was £65
Dear Russ
Most of my Gshock collection is after your revews in the last two years. For one time ,I wish you revew for us the great Italian brand Venezianico. I believe they are worth your unbiased revews.
With great appreciation and love ,
Nizar
Thank you Nizar! I will undoubtedly come across one soon and we can take a look my friend. All the very best!
Love the display cabinet. Very retro cool! My wife would never let me have one of those in the house 😅
I didn’t tell her it was coming…… it just showed up my friend!;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Tricky Smart!!!
Your show was the final straw in my decision in buying myself a GW5000u-1JF! Now it's my ONLY Gshock in the collection! Cheers sir Russell!
fantastic my friend!This makes me happy!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR always a pleasure seeing new episodes pop up! Keep up the great work! 🔥
I went G Shock crazy over the last few years thanks in large part to your channel. I love the illumination of all the text on the Mudman G9000, very unique. I may have to look for one of those next.
Just got my GW-5000U-1JF It's utterly gorgeous for a digital!
Hi, first of all that Casio display case is amazing! Also amazed by how many Casio watches you own. I own a few G Shocks too and they're mostly reissues of 90s G Shocks becaude of its simple design, and also because of the EL backlight. Epic G Shock collection, can't wait for your Casio collection video!
I have a G9000 Mudman. Rocking on my wrist for the time since I bought. Bought it for the asymmetric case the rich history and "made it for a reason"thing, absolutely loving it.
I got my first and only G-Shock last year. GW-5000U-1ER and I absolutely love it. All the G-Shock I need.
Love your passion for this brand. Beyond any other brand it really comes across.
As Nico Leonard says: Casio is god tier!
MWC the first ‘round’ G Shock was the DW-5400 with the steel case and screw in case back from the 5000/5200. I actually bought one waaay back in the day and like you say it didn’t win me over. The 5000/5200 were my go to. I sold the 5400 and just found my 5000 and 5200 in the loft the other day 😮. Awesome show BTW!
Stellar show! Great enthusiasm! Now for the back of the Casio fridge!!
Yes!!!
The 9400 rangeman was one of my first g shocks and has always been a favorite of mine. I just wish it wasn't so easy to accidentally press the side button when bending your wrist. If not for that, I'd wear it much more often! Also, fun fact, if you buy the jdm rangeman, the GW-9400J version, you'll get a carbon fiber strap instead of the regular resin one that comes on the international models
Very cool my friend!! Thanks for watching!
For "smaller" G-Shocks with iconic designs I strongly recommend the DW-9052 and G-2900F.
Love that CassOak with the stainless case. I have two, one modded, and one stock.. they’re my second favorite line next to the square G’s
Thank you John!
You talked me into getting the gbd200 and the 5000u. Purchases that I do not regret in the slightest. I feel my G-Shock journey is complete 😃
Love that the frog is in your top three . How far you’ve come along the G journey!
I recently bought the GBD-200, my first ever G-Shock, and also first digital watch since I was a child. I had always thought G-Shocks were too big for me and for some of the models, that's probably still true. But the MIP display looks so good that I decided to give it a shot and I've worn it nearly every day since.
I vividly remember seeing G-Shocks for sale in the 90's. At the time they seemed absurdly huge compared to the kids' watches I wore. I thought only an absolute unit of a man could possibly wear a G-Shock. But the brand left such an impression that every time I look at the 'G-SHOCK PROTECTION' wording on the bezel, it's a lovely hit of nostalgia.
I love the retro look of the 5700, fits just like a square. It needs to be more readily available.
Excellent, thanks for the chapters!
Who else got Gollum’s”my precious vibes” while he gushed about the Mudmaster 😂? Dude your enthusiasm about these pieces is more than enough reason to watch your videos… Great video mate.
I have a 9052. It has all the usual stuff you would find on the OG, plus an EL backlight and some cool graphics. Makes a great winter-wear piece (no sweating=no constant taking-off and putting-back-on, saves wear and tear on the strap). I find it a bit bulky tho, so I tend to gravitate toward the Invicta Pro Diver or the Ironman.
Marvelous! I have a DW-5735D-1B 35th Anniversary model, it also has that shiny gold lcd! Feels very premium. Nice collection!
Speaking of the CasiOak, I felt the same way when I first got one. Then I wore it on a round of golf and it was so comfortable and has since become my go-to active sports watch. As for the ana-digi debate I simply set the digital display for the date and seconds, and use the analog function for time.
Ikr, it has an analog display for a reason
Same here love Casiooaks
Picked up my first G shock last month. The Rangeman GW9400-1B. Absolutely love it. Now just bought the Mudman G9000 yesterday for work. As I am a contractor and do a lot of construction work! The addiction to watches has begun. 😂👌 glad I found this channel!
I watch your channel daily almost and I've bought two of these models which are my favorites, GW-9400-1B, I love the 90's looks with the negative display and I also have got a GWG-2000-1A1 exactly like yours which is the first g-shock I ever own, I am not much into spending my money on a square one but I would definitely do it on a frogman, I love them, especially the special edition made for the Royal Navy. God bless, see ya around.
I discovered you because of your casio / g shock vids. I hope to see more! Thanks for the content.
My favorite G shock what I wear most, because is only G-SHOCK that i own is GBD-800. I love this watch and I don t understand why nobody talk about it.
I recently bought a GWG2000 black/carbon, absolutely love this watch, I totally get when you said you can just sit there and look at it, it's a work of engineering art.
I only have 3 G Shocks but, my GBD200 gets a lot of wrist time because of it's clarity. I do a lot of cycling and it's my go to watch for that. Great collection and you've planted the seeds for an addition to my collection!!
Russ - you are awesome! Love your g collection. Now I'm going to be wearing mine more. (The thinner ones that will fit under a cuff during winter time!) I have an original DW5700 and it has a screw down back. It has hundreds of hours underwater at sport depths not exceeding 40 meters - still going strong. Another that had been a daily and used like a mudman is a blue GW300. Solar and multi band. Love that watch. Let's see those Casios!
Bought my first 'G' a week ago from a large retail outlet - a black G100. Love it! Especially good as in the same town an independent jewellery shop wanted almost the same money for a F-91! 😮
Great collection! I have around 30 G-shock and my favorite is also DW-5040PG, it's a great simple and beautiful watch!
Such a fun show! My most worn is the same as yours- thanks to you lol. I am partial to the squares also, but do love my 6900 and have been tempted to upgrade to the solar mb6 version...
Cheers Chaz!!!
Gotta say new to your channel and man it’s cool. I have a lot of G shocks and because of watching your channel I have been buying ILLUMINATOR watches you can’t beat twenty dollar Casios. Thanks
Great show! I want them all!
thanks my friend!
Love ur energy. Subscribed 🎉
WOW! There are at least 5 or 6 in this collection that I'd love to have but.....here it becomes very important one aspect of wristwatch collectioning that you have mentioned many times in your videos: I cannot really bear the fact that I inevitably tend to wear the one I love most.....and all the others never get out of the drawer! My daily G-shock is the Gw-6900. The one that I dream is the Frogman but I think I'll get the 5000U in the end. So that I have one round and one square.
The Frogman GWFD-1000B has been my favorite G-Shock to date but it is a MONSTER on my 6.75” wrist. So i end up wearing my second favorite G-Shock most of the time, the lovely GW-9400-1 you featured here. And i completely agree, fantastic buttons, great display and backlight and TS and MB6 is the 🍒 on top.
Your collection is amazing!
Man, you're just hillarious and fun to watch, and in terms of what's cool and what's meh, in the g-shock range, you hit everything right, the bluetooth nonsense, the overcomplicating perfect models, so on.
Great video.
Yes! I voted for G-shock and have been looking forward to this one. Not a bad collection there Russ, highlights are the Mudman, Frogman, and the collection of 6900’s. Another series I’m into is the G7900’s, sometimes called the Rescue series. You can get them in black, blue, green, and red (famously worn by Guy Martin in a few of his TV series). They’re getting harder to track down now, so I think a future classic!
Agreed -- the 7900 Rescue is my fav G-Shock. I've owned several and just received the white one (it is awesome)!
Get the green GBD200! It certainly makes a statement. As you quite rightly pointed out, the display is absolutely fantastic. All the very best for 2024, Russ. Cheers from NZ
Can’t beat the GBD200 it’s the only one I could read the time on in your Casio display cabinet.
Mine takes a beating at work, in the gym and has never let me down and it’s really budget friendly. A great all rounder. 👍🏼
2nd that, MWC's fault i got one,lol. after 2 years battery still going fine. cant beat that display
@@rogermacbainThey’re honestly great. Brilliant value. 👍🏼
I’m tempted… vibration alarm is a nice feature as well. Just wish it was Solar and multiband 6!
@@FreedomFox1 I do too but the battery life is fine. And it’s virtually indestructible.
I say pull the trigger, you won’t regret it Foxy. 👍🏼
@@kindnessISking1000True. I played with it for a couple of days then ignored it.
I love the comfort and casual feel of the 5000U, but I wish it had the STN display from the GMW-B5000 .
Recently picked up the DW6600 40th anniversary edition and it is stunning. Would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone!
I just got the clear casioak myself and I love it!
Around the same time as your particular mudman, there was also the gulfman and riseman, definitely worth checking out! I miss my G9000, but you've got me wanting a Frogman now!
I’m on it!!
also the ani-digi gulfmaster
Thank you for the video!
Now I have good reference point to buy more casios. 🎉
That t-shirt looks fantastic, congrats 👍🏻
Such a great set of g shocks. I have a dw 5600 ms that I use everyday. Recently I took him to a dive session with a trail in the rocks just after it and stays the same, almost new, watch. I'm proud to say that the squares are the best ones to get into.
Very beautiful collection ! I really like number one. On my side i just got my dream Watch the gmw-b5000d and I can’t stop wearing it. It might be the one that cured me from this Watch collection disease ! Cheers and I hope we’ll have this basic square G or even 6900 with the MIP display.
Awesome show MWC! Makes me want to add more G Shocks to my collection 💸😂
Cheers Gareth!
Very cool collection. I like that it has basically everything G-Shock can offer in design and technology and that it is actually very similar to mine ☺. I do wear that 40th anniversary square the most, it is awesome! I also have a frogman (the 35th anniversary magma one possibly the best piece in jy collection), the G900 positive display is a joy to wear very unique light and colorful, and yes that gbd200 is to me the next evolution of the square ( I have the blue one too and use it for the gym). A piece I highly recommend to you is the G Shock GD 350-8 it is one of my favorites I wear it a lot I like that the alarm can be set to vibrate and that it is quite legible and it looks so cool.
DW5600E-1V square on my wrist. The classic of the brand and only one you need. Thanks MWC you are awesome!
Yes, I love my GBD-200 in black and I now wear it every day after the GW-M5600 (predecessor of the 5610) was my daily beater for more than 13 years and still works like charm. But the GBD-200 feels and looks so modern and high quality. I've tried the GW-5000, but due to the weight of the unit, it always slipped to the side of the wrist and I just couldn't really get it to fit properly.
Nice collection! (even nicer box)! I think what you're missing in your collection is the second (and best) Rangeman GPR B1000, which I wear all the time, it's incredibly comfortable to wear despite its size. It has the premium materials and is made in Japan. A realy must have for every G-Shockhead 🙂
oh wow, what a cool video, love your collection. out of all my Casio watches i only have 6 g-shocks: DW 6620-Scorpion, G-9000, G-7900, DW 5600E, GW-M5610 and GST B200. I love all of them and i wear them a lot.
Thank you my friend!
I searched for a long time for the perfect G Shock that would stop me from buying other G Shocks. I ended up with the Rangeman. Affordable price and tons of features, plus it was worn by Chris Hemworth in Extraction (I found out while watching the movie and I was wearing it ). Then my father-in-law wanted it and gifted one to me! I love the comfort on long trips and the stopwatch shortcut. I have had some long trips where I had to sleep with it for over 20 hours.
When I was i kid I remember buying a red 6900 from Safeway supermarket for 20 quid! It was about 2 times bigger than my wrist but what a classic 🔥
Lovely...just lovely
The cabinet is awesome!
Great classic collection. Love the 5600s, 6900s, and the blue GBD200. Maybe take a look at the first model released with the Illuminator back in 1994. The DW6600. Best backlight on a G. They did recently bring it back but it’s too sterile for my taste. The OG ones can still found on the bay. They use the 6900 bezel and band so fixing up an older one is a cinch.
always good to see a frogman in a collection (theyre my personal favourite models)
The Frogman is arguably one of my favorite designs as well. I personally like the silhouette of the anadigital display more than the pure digital, but I definitely want to own one some day!
@@Dreamcaster1990 I hope one day they will introduce a frogman with a MIP display
Just bought a GA-700BNR-1AER and i love the look of this thing. Eyeing up a few others such as-GA-B001G-1AER, GA-100BNR - 1AER, GAW-100BNR-1AER, GA-2100-1A3ER, GA-2100-1A2ER. All standard G Shocks but all look great.
Love you Casio Cabinet. Great G-Shock Collection. In my personal opinion, I still prefer G-Shock with only a digital display & more for the small size. So far I have a small G- Shock collection, but my next one will be the DW6900. Regards.
Great G-Shock collection MWC! I'm surprised you do not own a G-Shock GD 350. It's one of the best as well! Cheers!
love them!
Check out the new 5610MT throwback to cassette tapes & collections- It’s Phenomenal and feels premium in hand too. If that’s limited release it will be a collectors item. I’m a square nut too and snatched up a few of the 40th anniversary editions. The gold & Eric Hayes Camo chocolate are fantastic. They both have golden glows to their displays at different angles too. Something the reviewers seem to miss mentioning or noticing! Both made so well in terms of finish and feel too. Also, The black metal Matte finished is lovely and sleak. Nice shiny parts on the pivots and the screen has nice details in person. I used to have the original black metal and this one is cooler.
Great collection, I love g-shock watches, one of my favorite is the G-7800 which have a very good module inside, I still have this one, great matrix display, even the főt type and contrast can be changed, you can set almost everything, but not solar or multiband 6. To bad casio never released another watch with this module.
Great video. Hope you review the new Casio WS1700H. Picked it up in Gray. I’m liking it, but I always enjoy your perspective
Just picked up a G Shock for my 30th birthday. Compliments along side my Casio F108-WH nicely.
G shocks just can’t be beat I use my mums that she gave to me she wore it daily for over 32 years and it’s still as good as new
Bought the Gshock x Mischief coolab. Loved it for a week 😞 it’s supposed to look faded and does but, oh dearie me it’s drab.
Great show 👍👍
The 6600 was my first and still fav. Passed my on to my 14 year old daughter. She wears it everyday for the past two years. 🤙🏼
Ross, thanks again for the fun video.
I love my GW9400 Rangeman, GWG1000 first gen Mudmaster. Recently I love more of my GD350 and Gulfman G9100. Have you handled them before?
I just picked up my first G-shock last summer after not having owned a Casio since my teens. It's quickly escalating now that I recently added a fourth, which is also my first square. Perhaps some of the fun of G-shock collecting is the immense diversity.
I bought my first digital watch after watching your first review of it, the GBD 200..... It's as good as you said. I now have the blue, the black and the lime green...all disconnected from the smart functions of course. So you are responsible for my three G-Shocks :-)
I love the full metal gold 40th anniversary square that has the gold flecks in it. I've never seen one in person, but that's the watch I'd be most interested in.
My g shock 35th anniversary ga-835a-1a is my best g shock. Definitely hard to beat in legibility.
Good back light and simple.
Always amuses me that the casio display cabinet reminds me of one of those budweiser fridges we all had in the early 2000's every time i see it.
Love the collection man. Personally, the GMW B500D is my ultimate g shock. The fact that it is all steel gives it a feeling of value as well as being tough as nails. I wear mine everyday. And yes, its very beat up. Another G shock that looks better scratched up! Love the wife's take lol.
I'm saddened that I can only give this video a single thumbs up. 😆
You are awesome Roger!!!!
Oh! That smaller G looks great. I'll have to check that out for my 5.5 inch wrist. I have the OG square but this smaller one would be nice.
My fav G from your set is also the 40-th anniversary square. I also would try the GBD-200, but maybe I should wait for the solar version. Personally I own 2 basic squares: the classic black one and a marine white one, and I do wear them quite often. Maybe someday I'll get the premium Japanese black square if they make a version with a red frame and a brick pattern around the screen. I also have the grey 2110, which is the best color of the whole series, in my opinion. And a weird winter Glide version of the 6900 with only one eye but two stopwatch scales, the thing is massive with it's bullbar, but it's one of those fun function packed Gs.
Thanks for another great video!
Russ, I did a holiday buying guide for Casio on my channel a month ago and featured some of these Casios. Amazing collection!!
Great collection!,
Great video Russ. You asked for any ideas on notable missing items, and I'd like to put forward the GX-56.
The negative display is hard to read, and the buttons are hard to push, but its huge size just makes it feel like such a statement piece on your wrist. I dont care about any special features, so the fact that it's still avaliable for just over a hundred quid, and is solar, makes it a good value time telling machine that looks like it could survive World War 3!
awesome vid as usual!
recently got myself a DWE-5640RX-7DR, the 40th anniversary clear remix one and it's so weird and ridiculous it's definitely my favourite watch right now.
curious to know what you think of it!
I don't think 19 is a good number. You need one more... Great fun as always Russ 👍😎👍
100% Gerry!!!
Hi - really enjoy your videos (even binging old ones now) - not sure if you are open to review suggestions here but wondered if you could potentially do a review of the Vario 1918 "Trench" watch - which has the 'bund' strap?? thanks
Nice collection. I only have one G-Shock the Rangeman GW-9400-1, which is basically my daily driver. The other one I'm interested in is the GW-5000u-1 Square. Keep up the good content.
A frog at last 👍. Need a video just on frogs. Awesome collection.
M'y favs :
- GMW B5000D Full metal square
- 5000 U 🇯🇵
For MiP displays, you should pull the trigger on a GBX 100 ... 😉👍
the G5000 blew me away. Thanks for the tip!
Enjoyed this video in my lunch ❤
your collection is awesome ... simply awesom. would love to know your thoughts on the new rangeman
Don’t like the heart monitor stuff or the charging particularly but it’s a proper asset to have when hiking those mountains!!
Love it! Surprised not to see the 40th anniversary 6640RE as that was special for me in the 90s so sad not to have the original still as it was better looking.. But the anniversary one is constantly out of stock :(
