This week, as a result of you guys asking more, we take a look at the 6900 line of gshock watches, the most popular line Casio made.
From the basic DW-6900 to the solar G-6900 and solar atomic GW-6900. We even cover the big GDX6900, and the small GMDS6900. The unusual GLS-6900 and GLX-6900 that are a part of the G-Lide series are here as well and so are the Bluetooth models, the GB-6900 and the GBX6900.
With so many models available, this video should help you in understanding the differences and choosing the right for you.

Just bought one because I’m tired of looking at my phone for the time and date 😄
It's funny cause that's always the excuse I hear for why people don't need watches these days. Screw 'em. More watches for us, I guess 🤷♂️
@@derekwalter4238 Ahahahaha....agree bro!
Hahaha.... it's me to, tired to look time in handphone.
Same!!
I'm watching this while disassembling one of my G-Shock from the same family. Nice timing! 🙏 Good video for everyone who are new to G-Shock!. 😎
Thanks 😊.
Which one are you disassembling, if it's not a secret 😁
Can't wait for the square g shock buying guide. I never realized how many people use g shock until a week ago when I was waiting in a hospital hallway and I must have seen almost 30 g shocks. All of the nurses, ambulance workers, people drawing your blood, security guards. 99% of the people working there had a g shock. Made me realize I need to get one because they just simply work no matter what.
Welcome to the club, but be careful, they tend to multiply somehow and before you know it, you have a dozen 😄😄
@@WatchGeek so true , they are a invasive species to my automatic watches lol
👍🏽
@@WatchGeek yes it’s so hard not to get more once you have one
I absolutely love my GW-6900 as it's both functional and tastefully understated.
Oh yeah! I like G-Shock watches. I have a G-Shock watch in my room. I bought this watch in Sears a long time ago. G-Shock watch all the way!
Love my GW-6900! It's one of my favourite G Shocks next to the 5610.
👏 bravo stari, stvarno ovo je jedini kanal koji gledam o GShock satovima.
Koncizan i precizan, dosta dobrih informacija ali nisu dosadne i nedaviš sa suvišnim pričama.
Prvo sam mislio da radiš za neki magazin o satovima.
Svaka čast, samo tako nastavi i puno ti hvala.
I'm going for the G-6900 because of the tough solar. thanks for the video.
I love the front light button! It is much better than the side light button. I recently got a DW6900PL. I have never used a front light button before this model.
THANKS!... REALLY GREAT VIDEO!!! 😀🤗😃
This was well done and full of very helpful information. I look forward to watching more of your content. 😁
Thank You 4 your video! After I saw your video I bought Casio GLS-6900 and VERY happy with it!
Thank you for the video! Because of it, I now own a GW-6900 - the white one (GW-6900A-7). Bought the last "new" watch on online offer in my country :-) Really wanted the yellow GW-6900A but it was gone; and, to be honest, the white one looks really cool in person and I can always order yellow bezel and strap to swap to (yes, I will not have the red seconds indicator but it is fine for me).
Gd- x6900-7. 4 years with this and still loving it. 🙂
Hope I can find online sellers of its button to replace it. The buttons whiteness turns yellowish or dirty white.
My first G-Shock was a DW-6900MS. All blacked out. Kinda hard to read but I still love it.
Thanks for your usual in-depth informative reviews, when I need to know anything pertaining to G Shocks I only have to scan for the yellow lettering. You gave the GW-6900 a special mention and clicking the Amazon link it's out of stock (discontinued). Looking elsewhere apart from the USA its not obtainable, even Japan. Have you come across any other suppliers that have this in their for-sale lists?
I like the looks of the GLX 6900 and GD-X6900. Great and helpful video. 👍
Thanks 😊
Nice wrap up of 6900 series! I have dw6900bbn which basically black series of 6900 with nylon straps. It is a good watch but I have small wrist so it is not really comfortable to wear it as daily beater watch. Also the negative display is quite hard to see.
I would love a guide like this for the 7900 please. Excellent video.
I already covered the 7900 in the GW7900 review so you might check that out
6900s rock and thanks for the video.
GW 6900 might be the best value in watches. Something with multiband 6 and solar tough for under 100 bucks
i'm watching this video with my GW- 6900 BC , Nice video
I just start a restoration for my old 1998 dw 6900, the resin case has broke on the adjust button and the back holes just loose the screw patterns, i hope can repair then cause i want keep the original resin case, just left new light button and a new bezel
Great explanation 👌🏽
Thank you for this video, really appreciate for all the hard work. I dont remember the model number of that particular gshock which was worn by the lead actor in movie italyian job & coincidentally that was my first gshock which I bought in 1995 & then same model in 2005. Can you shed some light on the same.
I believe it was the DW 6600
i like this cool shape & crazy color.
especially quality is so good & price also..
i think 6900 is the best watch for me.
Hi sir. Nice video and informative. I recently bought a DW 6900 SK-1. Is the adjust button designed to be recessed? While the other 3 buttons are protruding. Please do enlighten us.
Yes it's normal
i have gb6900b and gb5600b and stil works perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Casio actually made a vintage ""variant"" on dw-6900 called dw-6900X which is just a flipped version of gls-6900. Making it more close to the dw-9052, as if casio does not already make a convoluted mess with the naming scheme of the 6900 line
I have a DW6900-1V and another DW6900LU-3 and a GD-X6900-1
Fantastic video!
hello sir, thank you for this great guide video. look forward for more like this. cheers. :)
I just published the same guide for the squares 😊
yeah, i've checked it already. can't wait for the part 2. keep it coming sir. you rock!!! :)
Thanks 😊
You're missing out on the dw-6900b-9 Japanese-exclusive Foxfire version only.
I know This is an old video, but let me add something to it, the G 6900 have a different case size, so most aftermarket 6900 bezel will not fit for G 6900
My favorite g shock line
sretna nova godina 🙂
Thank you!
Can u do something explaining the different script on the backplates of the vsrious g shocks thru the years? Did they ever re-release the old orginal script during modern times? How many different variations are there?
Nice review
Thanks 😊
my DW 6900 lasted me for 6 years until the battery died - I'll get a new one soon, this time I'll opt for a solar one and possibly atomic too ;-)
I'm personally not a 6900 fan because of the reason you mentioned about how half the watch is just decoration. It's all Rangeman and Squares for me. But I still enjoyed watching this video. :)
It's not decoration with the GW-6900. The eyes have function.
Good luck saying that to a Marine.
The front light button saves it
@@entertainme7523 funny enough, I now own 2 6900’s as of last year. Lmao
@@Manny4356 glad to see you smartened up
Can you say how much thicker the GW is compared to the DW ?
i love the shape of this watch, but i prefer the dw 6600 a lot more than the 6900. i dont like the 3 circles, i find it useless and they take half of the space of the screen. i much rather have a full screen like in the dw 6600
What is the difference of the GW-6900-1 and the GW-6900-CR?
G-Shock just released this month a NEO TOKYO design of this watch with a bunch of other too. It's black with a bit of neon style colouring. Supposed to be a nod to Akira.
Is it worth it for a few colors?
@@uuuultra Always
Hate the intro music, love your channel. Thank you for posting.
Nice video
Thank you! I always thought that those 3 eyes serve no reasonable purpose to be there in the first place.
I wanna know why is it that the DW-6900 has a plastic buckle? It seems pointless to me since the buckle from the DW-5600 fits it just fine. Why would Casio skimp out on something like this?
please make all the master of G series guide, you know, the ~man series.
Will do
What is the difference between the GW-6900 and the GW-6900-1 ??
Here in Israel, almost every 18yo solider will wear a g shock, and they are abundant in the country.
the square g shocks are the classic design, but i prefer this shape over the square ones, it is so much more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. i also prefer the b640wb waaay more than the a164, a168 and other similar models. i like curves
How much does the gbx 6900b blue color sells now?
I have a question can you set the countdown timer down to the second on the g-6900 because I know you can’t on the gw-6900
Nope.
looking for a gshock digital models. what should buy?
Still looking?
You should do a new updated video
Hello! I have one question! I my friend gave to me G Shock DW-6900E module 3230.. And I just can't figure it out how to enable hourly signal(i think that this is the SIG function) if you can help me please! I have looked a lot of videos here on youtube, read the manuals and stil can't find it!
Thank you for your sopport!
Go into the alarm and press either lower or upper right button, I cant remember which exactly. That will toggle the watch to the following:
Alarm on, alarm off-chime on, both on, both off
@@WatchGeek I made it! Thank you very much for your help! You are the best!
No problem, I'm glad I could help
Yesterday I buy a g shock from the stores and I choose what watch I want from the display in the window glass and then she takes it and gave me that one.
I thought it have same watch but in the box not the display one?
This is my first time buying g shock watch.when you first buy it does it takes from window glass display?
That's how I got my GW7900
Probably they were restless of hard work and Family, its all the real copies with errors in the good s..?
I wore one to destruction it took 5 years of abuse hot water cold water sweat banging and overall just hard use and the case broke but if I had known that I could just buy another bezel that watch would be here today. What I mean by bezel broke or the case broke is that it disintegrated into pieces due to daily extreme changes in temperature and often damage and pressure it received and I repeat it lasted 5 years.
Yup, bezel and strap changes make it last a lifetime, here's mine after 12 years:

Beautifull, i have one. Original model.
DW-6900 has crooked modules. I wish casio would do a better job with basic QC. how hard is it to position the module properly?? casio is making end-users open up the back and readjusting the module themselves. Is this how Casio intends for their mistakes to be corrected by the end user? It is beyond disappointing to receive a crooked module from Japan-made g-shock.
I have yet to see a crooked module in a Casio watch, if we ignore the early screwback models of the 80's and early 90's
Is glx6900 slimmer than dw6900?
If only this line all came with tough Solar, I’ll buy all of them
Ese modelo 6900 son unas maquinotas
I live in Australia, will the atomic time thing work here?
It shouldn't, but I had people reporting they managed to make it work using my "DIY ATOMIC AMPLIFIER" so lookup that video on my channel. Using that, you might get good results
the atomic clocks are located: 1 in the united states, 1 in china, 2 in europe and 2 in japan. so in order for the atomic g shock to work you need to be close to one of those locations?
what if you live let’s say, in south america, oceania, or some island in the pacific ocean, etc. the atomic g-shock won’t work?
My dw battery last 8 yrs
I ordered the Zebra version.😃
I have a 6900
Ok
Watching this on g 6900 ;)
How can you watch this on a watch? Lol
Gdx6900!
Basic models still show time when using functions and the seconds dials (like traditional watches have and are hardly "useless") switch off which can double battery life! Static 'dials' are fugly!!
What
Just saw your channe sir
i have G-6900...
Liar
To me those eye indicators are wasted space. I don't need to see the settings on the watch all the time. Once I set them, why do I need indicators? I would much more prefer larger display and numbers. I'll stick with the 5600. No non sense design, Its got all you need in the simplest most functional form and design you can find. And it's much slimmer than the 6900.
OK gramps!
God bless the family .Igotta give it 2 them hard working-class! The worker's are makeing fun of his own hard and good coppies all Americans spending top dollar same copies,like all the goodsare real , cause the blackmarket just spit plenty errors and sale damage goods are all the real copies with errors in the good s.
6900 has front light button
finally....first ..,😀

WE BROKE GODS LAW. 2000 YEARS AGO, GOD PROVIDED A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE DECLARE WITH OUT MOUTH JESUS IS LORD AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEART GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 10-9. GOD WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND GRANT YOU EVERLASTING LIFE ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS
Calm down altar boy!
They need to make a GMD-S G Shocks in Atomic/Solar so I can buy one and wear one on my small wrist lol.
