One watch to rule the world!!
Trieu Nguyen over 1100 $ !! This is insane !! 😅
@@hamadalrowaie6882 It's like $400 now. Time to get one.
@@blizziar am selling it for that price on ebay. Dbsanman305
This is the Patek Philippe Nautilus of the G-shock world. This isn't just for fanboys, it's the opposite, it's a watch that anyone can wear, and will definitely get attention.
@guess what WATCH SNOB DETECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@cordero6960 He is right though. The MR-G is upwards of 7000 bucks
It looks a bit like the Nautilus.
This must be heavy af tho, do u think girls would love to wear it? lmao
@@machigiceb7788 I know a girl who wore one, she once smack her ex with it, I don’t think the guy was able to make it
I’m joking, lol
I picked one of these up based on this review - it's a really nice piece and the quality is excellent.
Thanks again for the great videos, Bruce 👍🏻
Badass!!! Looks like it's ready to transform into a Liquid Metal TERMINATOR!!!!
Awesome comment
Just bought one of these tonight, very excited to receive it. It’s my first g shock
Bought it today. My first G shock. Looks and feels amazing. I’m in love with this full metal square.
No such thing as a "made in Japan" model. This model is exclusively built at the Yamagata facility in Japan along with GW5000 and other high end G'S! Awesome watch!
What about the USA Casio one is that not made in Japan ? It’s got a different serial
@@josephjoestar5444i think the serial number just denotes the market they are sold in, or intended to be sold in.
Oh my! Absolutely gorgeous watch, I can't stop drooling, must have!!
Bruce I love your excitement and enthusiasm for this watch. Thank you for sharing :)
I'm a g shock fan. And when i watch your video about this G Shock, it's superheavy cool.
Simple, reliable and classy. The best of three worlds.
Wow! I am getting this beauty as soon as I pick up my jaw from the floor!
i'm wearing it proudly, cause it looks just awesome and the feel of it
I am a Seiko guy and never liked the G-Shock designs until I saw this... Had to buy it, along with my SKX this is my everyday watch.
Thank you BW. Your video made me jump off and buy this model & im soo happy i did.
Got myself one last October 2019 and have worn it practically everyday for half a year now though i have to say it sometimes is annoyingly heavy, but def enjoy wearing it. Also, you'd be surprised the attention it gets and is also a conversation starter. I totally forgot my other swiss watches. Totally worth every single cent. For me the design and the idea behind it would make this model an instant classic.
I just found and bought a gold one with black display. Been searching for it since the launch and have been in multiple countries. Out of all places found it while passing through Vienna Airport! Cost me 480Euro duty free. Super happy.
Wowsers! They've literally made my perfect G-Shock. I love my Gs. For me it HAS to be a tough solar and HAS to have atomic timing. My daily is a 5610 which has both these features for a crazy cheap price.
This one just looks absolutely stunning! Bluetooth. Brick pattern. BEAUTIFUL finish and look. Tough solar and multi band 6. My goodness grief.
I I ever have the spare cash to get one of these I'm getting one. Easy decision.
The finishing is exquisite...the bracelet is at par with any mid to high range watch...
That looks like a phenomenal watch. Casio has always been tops for digital watches, in my book. Ever since the calculator and trigraph watches of my youth.
Agree
That is the classiest casual watch I’ve ever seen
You are right. It looks fantastic.
got mines 2-3yrs ago. wear it every day to work. got alot of scratches to it! love it
How bad scratches look ?
Just bought my gw50001jf a week ago. OMG. May be the greatest non automatic watch ever made. And i give credit to the careful considerations to every single aspect of that watch, especially the dlc coating and the choice of rubbers around the stainless steel. What a supremely comfortable watch. Feels like a thousand dollar watch at only 350 usd. Deal of the century imho. If this was wholly dlc coated, i would buy it, but pure ss, is not as comfortable.
I’m not into digital watches , but this one is really beautiful 🔥
Digital Watches rule.
I didn’t like G-Shocks because it’s pretty, I like it because it’s just different, it’s unique
This is EXACTLY how I'd want my watch to look like.
This is by FAR (in my opinion) the best looking G Shock ever made.
That price though - a bit too much for what it is.
OH God Casio needs to mass produce this. Make this a permanent line.
i think they are. its just some of the market have not receive it yet. As i know, only 3 models out of all 4 metal will be released in limited quantity - TFC (DLC) and TFG (Gold), and Kolor colab. but oh damn... the satin finish reminds me of terminator!
I've just purchased one with black bezel and resin band, I can't wait to wear it, it is really cool watch.
This is my favorite video of the silver GSHOCK - quality film and super enthusiastic sperg
holy moly thats a freaking badass watch. I like how G-Shock chose this particualr variant over any other variant. A pure digital , non analogue varaint keeping it honest and pure on what they stand for. They really know their fans. Wish I only had little more budget to spare.
I can sell you mine for $200. You really seem to love it but I have many other watches I wear over this one. Let me know if you're interested.
@@ZeginMakesMusic hey friend you still got full metal? I'm interested in purchasing it from you
I have a DW 5600 that I coated in matt black steel with old patina, after three years there is no scratch, it looks fantastic at a much lower price.
For 500 dollars retail, that is an amazing watch! Maybe after the hype passes, it will be a great purchase. For 1000 dollars, i dunno. It looks great tho. The size is also perfect. Congrats on the purchase bruce, its a keeper.
Pretty sweet! I would have preferred fully brushed finish.
Agreed. Stainless is gonna be a bitch to keep clean!
Couldn't agree more!
Yes. That is the only thing that I dislike about the watch. But it's just a minor thing for me.
Heart of Texas Armory =
Maybe they will bring a brushed version out. Think one with a negative display would give a nice contrast also. We'll wait and see.
This is the best video I've seen about this watch so far. Kudos.
Thanks Gary
would love a matte sandblasted surface. this is the PERFECT g-shock
One of my most cherished watch!
Awesome reviews, Thanks Mr. Bruce Willis.
definitely getting one! great review
Great review Bruce, as usual. I was able to get 1 in Italy for 449 euros, shipping included...looking forward to receiving it! Best Federico
a lot of nostaglia for me. I think they did a great job and the price considering the use of all stainless steel is still not too bad. I bought the gold, black and silver versions and they make me smile all the time. Still have the original watch too, have had it for a long time and its still working.
I love my mudmaster, but this full metal watch is just pure sleekness and style. Love the metal finish and the old school watch style. It's stylish and retro and sleek all wrapped up in one package. Santa knows what I want for Christmas. If he doesn't I'll let him know it's this watch.
Just got one by chance! Its 101% pure fun to wear aside from my other swiss watches.
This is my first casio g-shock watch. Not a fanboy btw... never tell people what they should or should not wear/buy.
I'm a Rolex and AP guy. And I think G-Shock are so cool. I ordered a GA-100 in blue with orange underside. I saw it on my friends wrist and said, Where's your datejust. He said "I bought this on my last cruise" Now I got my eye on a GST -130 with brown leather strap. These G-shocks are cool. Casio should make there GST's case look like Royal Oak's with the movement look like RM. with there own twist on it of course. This GMW-B5000 is the coolest. Great vid.
Its awesome that while you wear some of the most respected Swiss luxury out there, you can wholeheartedly appreciate the Japanese digital end of the spectrum
"Full Metal Square" = the coolest watch name ever.
No it’s not
Great review! Thank you!
Nice enthusiastic review. I bought one, and I don´t take it off anymore, the rest of my small collection became obsolete. I must say that in my opinion this is a watch for the bigger wrist, because of the stiff first links of the bracelet. With me it is perfect, but if you have a smaller wrist I would go for the one with the rubber strap, ohterwise it looks a bit odd. Back to the 80´s!
Insane cool. Can’t wait for mine to show up. Ultimate fan boy watch for sure.
Random Rob how much did it cost you and where can I purchase one?
24kt on my wrist
Think I bout from “shoppinginjapan” paid $891 shipped.
This metal version band.. can u change the band to nylon?
@@user-tu5tm6kn6k Yes.
This convinced me to get one...so I did. Love it!
Hadn't found your page yet when you posted this video but it's awesome to go back and watch it! I got crazy lucky on mine, my local AD got one and he's got a crazy high end shop with all the luxury brands and a few g shocks, and luckily I swooped it up in time. He had no idea what the watch was at all and thought it was a standard model, he even gave me a 20% off discount 😳 anyways I'm still loving mine and I hope you are too!
Also scored the black one with negative display when it came out, the metal square is awesome!
Such a relief to see that both watches were set to the same time (to the nearest second).
Both use the radio sync to atomic time. I love that!
The watches also check via Bluetooth>WiFi>Internet for Casio Japan's own atomic time provider if you're not near an atomic clock radio-signal (when the watch checks it's own time, 4 times a day). There's a few apps on the store that one can use if they're not near a broadcasting atomic clock too (which I haven't tested as I live near one).
Thank you for the review Bruce. I gave one of these on pre-order. Wish I could get my hands on the black one.
Those are going to be so hard to find. And expensive!
Just the kind of watch that the Full Metal Alchemist needs
Great intro and review as usual.
Man, thanks for this review. I was buying Casio's before the G-Shock was introduced. Yes, and I used them as a Wildland Firefighter (Smokejumper). I remember when one of my crew-members brought in an absolutely new 1st edition G-Shock in like 1980 or so. I thought it was too big! So I kept wearing my cheap F91W-1 version for several more years. I went through a lot of these as they kept getting torn off my wrist hiking through California brush fields. I'm talking extreme duties here (Chainsaw work, days on end, parachuting and landing in trees, and packing a 100 lbs on my back for 10 miles or more. I even took one to Australia and dove it down to 110 feet with no problems. This was the F91W-1 watch, not G-Shock. I just bought my first G-Shock about 2 years ago and took it out to a fire this last summer in Montana. I got the count-down mission version. It does everything my old watch did but has the "mission timer and UTC times". Great watch! But seeing this new "Full Metal Jacket": Yes, you just saw this name used here first and yes I should get a free complimentary "Full Metal Jacket" watch from Casio for my service, I'll send my address to Casio" I'm impressed. Keep up the good work. I also wear my Tudor Blue Pelagos golfing twice a week. I call it my Golfagos.
Great comment, thanks for sharing

You're a smoke jumper?? You win the manliest man prize brother
Respect to all emergency workers and caregivers. My father in law was a Firefighter, he's now retired. Keep the good work. I have the Mudmaster GWG-1000, don't know if the smokejumpers as you yourself also wear this watch like in the G-Shock commercial.
That metal square G has replaced the PP Nautilus as my new grail watch!
mechmove i also love luxury watches but beileve me this casio don’t even look like a cheap digital watch. Looks and feels so good.
Really nice G-Shock Bruce. I love so many of the G-Shock watches. I feel overloaded they have so many variants. But I'm still looking..I do own just one.
This is my first g shock and my second watch ever
Holy Moly, a nice Casio G-Shock! :)
Congrats on your purchase. I will say this watch is for anyone who loves watches. It's so we'll made.
This is my aspirational want to. For now I am looking at the GBD200 for jogging but boy o boy I will wait for a special occasion to justify this one!
The new definition of TANK
This is the Casio answer to Patek Phillipe's Nautilus. I think this is even better
Comment stealer 😂😆
This is about time they made these in steel.
Just bought one today, a used one, for 250 euros (ca 270 dollars), in very good condition with all accessories.
Cool watch. Thanks for the video
2023 still GREAT! I have silver and golden and both are superb for the price ❤
Good job, Bruce.
Thank you!
Beautiful piece

Man that looks good and bling
Thanx for your perfect review, dude!!! Love and Peace!
love my blacked out one. The Display was my worry, but hell no, it's all just gotten better!
Has a bracelet very similar to the Cartier Santos, nice watch.
I am officialy in love with this brand
Never owned a g shock , never felt the need . However thought the functionality combined with the fact that it’s a handsome beast may be worth contemplating. Wouldn’t have paid 800 or 1000 bucks but picked one up from an AD here in the uk on a Father’s Day sale for the equivalent of 440 dollars , can’t go wrong ...
The most badass watch out there
I’d like this In pvd with a negative display.
I bought the all-metal silver and black models. But, I just sold both of them to purchase the vintage black model. It should be here in a few days, straight from Tokyo.
I just purchased one of these in Australia for $949. I don't consider myself a watch/ g shock fanboy or collector but now I guess I have the bug since today I've also ordered a G-5600E-1 to beat up at work. I plan to wear both watches until they fall apart so the price to me is respectable considering the use and enjoyment I will get out of wearing both.
I NEED THIS !
Its now at Macys along with the gold one at MRSP without the markup
Totally bonkers watch. And I love it! Excellent review!
Thanks. Bonkers is a great description
Being made of plastic was the one thing keeping me from buying a G-shock. I might get this one.
Limited to how many!!...Love your Watch.. I got a full mental G Shock GST-W110, and a GW-M5610...
G-Shock aficionados of the world rejoice!
Good: brick pattern, bigger buttons (I am particularly happy about this), screw-back, GW-5000 module.
Wait to see: is this going to be a scratch magnet? Those polished end-links...hmmm.
Ah, thanks for that info, Alaska Steve.
It is a beautiful G-Shock watch, but with that beauty, I would be nervous to wear it in case it gets scratched.
It’s phenomenal
Nice watch, thanks for the video. You said ‘awesome’ so many times that it really didn’t describe anything but still, thanks for the review 😃
I love that watch, super cool, love the brick pattern nostalgic touch, my only concern is the polished lug/link next to the watch case, would that be a bit too bling for me, maybe not, great video, thanks mate 👍🏻
For my first g shock..not to shabby. I can see my self buying more.
Hi Bruce it’s the other Bruce, from Brentmillertime! Love your videos just picked up this model and the Eric Haze 40th. Love it! Thanks my brother
Absolutely love this piece (especially over the Gold Plated version), with only one concession!
First, awesome video and review, and great shots of the watch worn in daylight too.
Very cool, and subbed ;)
Now, as an owner of two luxury mechanical timepieces, the Tudor North Flag and Omega Constellation Globemaster (stainless steel/blue dial), I also own and adore my G-Shock G-Lide GWX-5600WA-7 Summer 2017 Limited Edition.
I chose that G-Shock for not only it's uniqueness in colour (white with very light grey stripes), but also because these versions of the 'square' G-Shock's are a tad more unusual than the mainline square G-Shock's (see below soon).
I use my G-Shock G-Lide for its atomic timekeeping to timeset my two mechanical pieces, and where I am unable to wear my mechanical pieces in some situations.
However, I do want a Bluetooth-enabled G-Shock that is square, and this GMW-B5000 is 'nearly' there.
So, why I am not 100% satisfied (I am 80%)?
A lot of people are aware of the one or two rectangular (aka 'square'... :/ ) series styled G-Shock's that Casio has been making since 1983; the main style that retains most of the looks from the original but has subtly evolved, and the King BB (a very large 'square' edition).
HOWEVER, a third series exists under the G-Lide series, aimed at watersport and surfers predominantly. The G-Lide's are identical to the regular square series with three changes. The first two are extra complications: 'Moonphase' and 'Tidegraph'. The third change is a subtle rearrangement of the digital screen. These G-Lide's have their own digital movements exclusive for the G-Lide series; the positive screen is Module 3215, and the negative screen is Module 3222.
(My limited edition, positive, G-Lide has a thicker plastic housing and a thicker stainless steel backplate over normal square G-Shock's and G-Lide's too).
So, my concession is that I would LOVE to have a Bluetooth metal G-LIDE square version instead of the current GMW-B5000, if only because, as much as I never use the extra complications, I adore the completeness and uniqueness of the G-Lide series!
Here's hoping Casio might do something as cool as that in the not-too-long future!
Another stunner!
This piece is just HEAVY METAL of G's 🤘👊
Coolest Gshock!
I got one here in Perth, Australia. Paid AUD 899,00.
Might buy it as my first gshock, i really like it! 500 bucks is a tad steep for a digital watch though haha
Super cool watch
Very cool watch. Sure would like to own one but i think i will stick to my gw 5000 with combi bracelet.
Metal feel from a square...
Nice .
It would be 100 % perfect if it had sapphire crystal.
Now that would be awesome....
Very beautiful watch.
