What about the steps counter accuracy pls? Some report it is way off!
One neat trick you missed is that when you're in TIMER mode, you can cycle through the 5 timers by pressing START to start timing, then holding down DISP for a couple of seconds, which moves you onto the next timer in the sequence. I've set up all 5 timers with the times I use most: 1:00:00, 30:00, 10:00, 5:00, 2:00. I can basically pick the one I want using this method, which is really useful, rather than having to set up a particular time using the UP/DOWN keys, which takes way too long.
Thank you, that is was looking for.
*Wow!!!*
I was looking at buying this watch for sunset-sunrise times, and because I’m OLD!😂😂😂
sir, just got this watch and I love it.. sunrise and sunset is there... when Im on the seaside... here is a tide info... and just stupid enough of a watch to have just the basic information you need from a watch... I could even do without the reading of notifications... just "bip" would suffice so id know there is something on my phone...
@@ercvider Glad you like it Sir!
Your reviews are always the best. I ordered one, solely for the easier-to-see time/date. I may occasionally check the tide before going to the beach, but I do not intend use the other complications since I always carry my much larger smartphone. When Casio make a simple watch with this display and solar charging, I'll get that next.
This is the best tutorial for this watch. Yesterday I found a good deal for the GBX-100KI-1 and today I watched this video to set up the watch. I have the G-7800 and this is very similar design with the metal bezel. I like the display of this GBX-100KI-1. Your video is better than the manual. Thank you. 👍👍
This is just insane how much data such small watch can show. I'm speechless. Usually the more complicated smart watch gets it's size goes to massive but this is a little masterpiece!
Just received mine today and this video was extremely helpful setting up the watch. You were right on, too. I have had many Casios/G-shocks and that "muscle memory" is real. I couldn't figure out why the controls didn't "work" like I was used to.
Once I watched the video and played around a bit...I'm getting the hang of it after only 15 minutes.
Thank you. I' ve saved this video and plan to come back to it.
Most useful watch channel right here! No one has put in effort like you.
Even with its shortcomings this is a beautiful and amazing watch.
Thank you for the tutorial. I didn't even bother to look at this watch when it was introduced. Only after I bought 2 negative displays G Shocks ( GW9400 1BER & DW6900 BB) I realised that there should be a better negative display in the G Shock line up. By the time I look back at the GBX 100 models, they're out stock! I was fortunate to get one from a local shop and didn't think twice to get it when he said its on limited stock. Amazing display and thats all I want, the MIP display. I look at my watch and I can see the time crystal clear! and rest of the features are bonus for me.
I got one today. I went for the black model, but I liked the Teal also. Its super easy to see the display. I've not had time to figure out all the features yet.
I've got the teal green-blue model and quite like it. The display is fantastic! I have notifications turned off, because I get enough of that nonsense already. Basically the step counter and work out tracking are the only "smartwatch" features I use and they work perfectly well for me.
Using the app to setup the watch is definitely the way to go.
If this guy says it's complicated you are screwed
😄😄😄
😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
😅😅
I'll tell you what I see in this watch as a plus
1. You have the best display in a watch ever imo
2. You have way more visible information than a regular G-Shock. For instance, once you go to alarm menu, you are able to see the set time for all your alarms without scrolling with a button. You can have much more signs of your functions and overall the screens are much more interactive. The whole menu looks like innovation from the future of the brand.
3. The count down timers are freaking awesome for boxers and interval trainings!
4. Buttons are much nicer to operate for comparison with the classic squares from the 5000 series
Actually I was on the market for classic 5000 shock, but they are too small for me. The big shocks are way too big to snick under sleeves and this one is just perfect size.
If you use it as a regular watch and you're the one like me, looking for classic 5000, but you want to have balanced size and best display she just sacrifice the solar function, then this is the watch for you
5: vibration alarm!
Hello I love your video and you have a great presentation I learned a whole bunch from your videos and I bought most of the watches from Casio watching your videos especially to high-end I'm dying to hear this watch I can't wait I love the color blue and they do have one with blue with stainless steel right now on Amazon it's $160 I'm going to wait to the price drops a little but thank you for sharing God bless you brother
Narucio sam ovaj sat, cekam da mi stigne... Svaka cast za video! 😁
It seem like the setting are expected mainly done through the app, and the bottoms manual settings are just there to ensure adjustments if needed.
This is I was waiting for. Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you very much for your time and the insight. Now I will be able to operate my watch.
Congratulations for the milestone.
I hope that I've lucky enough to win this one.
I like this watch for the design and the digital screen. From the features aside from watching the time itself I am mostly using the alarm, checking my steps and notifications(for example if my phone sound is off and if someone calls me, the phone is on the bed and I will get the vibration on my wrist). The app is a bit slow yeah, but not unnaceptable, I mean how many times will you go in there). About the batery, for me personally if it lasts at least an year, then it's fine going to change it once a year. I know what I got beforehand after all.
thank u so much for these instns., i just want the time date, good light auto. and the sun up and down, as i dont live near the ocean, and im gettin old, but this watch can be easily read with or without the light, and the letters and numbers are large and great... thanks again..
Great overview. Thanks for sharing.
Is there a way to see the battery level on the watch? Thanks
I wanted to buy this watch because of how it looks.
The lack of Tough Solar is by itself a big turn off for me, after watching this setting tutorial, it made me desist my desire for this watch.
As a guy stated above, if Watch Geek says the watch is complicated and slow, then it is!
Thank you Watch Geek, your videos are always a good reference.
I bought the GR-B100 after watching your tutorial.
Yep, imagine having to re-setup this watch after battery change :(
@@j.harbottle8928
I assume it might happen frequently, since this watch is packed with so many features and BT connectivity that are power drainers, and I am an heavy watch functions user, so in my case battery might have to be replaced once every 18 months, or less. That idea alone isn't very attractive for me.
@@echandirohrmoser3183 yep the old solar power ID a necessity for me , you too it seems
I also was going to buy it too but after this video i think im just gonna buy the gwm 5610-1jf with negative display
Opa! Nisam znao da si Hrvat.. Bas gledam da kupim ovaj GShock. Odličan video! 🙌
Great tutorial ! Thanks for the video !
Nice video! I think I get the blue one because is the nicest gshock ever....
If it had Tough Solar, Multiband 6 besides Bluetooth and a much faster input response, this would be my next timepiece.
I used to think the same, but the new MIP G-Shocks with Solar still can't go forever without needing to recharge, so a battery swap every 2 years is no worse than plugging the watch into the mains every couple of weeks. In fact I'd say it's better. Multiband 6 isn't needed when you have time sync over bluetooth - again that's better because it works anywhere in the world. The input response isn't really an issue day-to-day once you've got everything set up.
Odličan video. Sviđa mi se dizajn, šteta za usporenost. Jedva čekam giveaway. :D
Thanks for your detailed review 👍🏻
There seems to be a big problem with the tide and step tracker data. According to a lot of people on the internet fora, the tracker is way off. It even counts while sleeping, typing, ... I've asked CASIO if those issues are resolved with the latest firmware update. Waiting for a response.
I’ve bought this watch in the black version (ss bezel) mainly because of the detailed tide/moon/sun functions which is a lot more detailed than any other tide graph G Shock I’ve had before, also the face looks good with the MIP, one thing that annoys me is they didn’t include a basic countdown timer like every other G shock has, I’ll have to use the first one of the workout timers but it would have been so easy just to add a basic timer to the modes.
Really helpful info to setup the watch without unnecessary info, thank you!
Thx for very helpful review! Well done!
Hopefully Casio offers ‘over the air’ (firmware) updates to fix the lag on the watch, it’s pretty bad as it stands. Thanks for the overview.
Thanks for producing this video. I have the same watch but can't receive any notifications
I think it’s slow because you don’t set up your alarm etc and then sent it to the watch, but the app merely serves sa screen for the watch. So there’s some delay and imput delay. So it’s got to connect to the watch and look into its data
Just waiting for them to slap a solar panel on this...thanks Watchgeek.
can we do replace solar panel into this model ?
@@georgeorwell4573 no guys you do not need. Solar is not good with vibration, and with the battery you use, you stay set for ages. Changing the battery is cheap and easy
@@trocchiettoski in survival you do not able to find a battery
@@georgeorwell4573 if you mean for hedge cases as military use that last more than 2 years,then you may be right, but for the rest of the world but would be a really trascurable exception in my opinion
@@trocchiettoski youre right, peoples are overthinking about battery. i like to solar panel just for these scenarios.
cant decide on it or not. tide graph step tracker is great. but it doesnt do the incline decline feature the mudmasters do. with that you can tell if your incline or decline step tracking. but theres no tide feature. so its a big round about with holes in it. but still great. watch.
Been waiting and waiting for this...
Seems like this model shares the stock availability of the GA2100. Others have taken advantage and making it a bit more expensive depending on the colorway. I just got lucky to get the black variant at my local shop less than the retail price.
Thanks for the review.... I would like to know if there is a way from changing the month/date to date/month on display...
Great review !!!! Bravo ! 👍👍👍
I have a question Why does the alarm not work between every hour? I mean, for example, when the end of the 1 hour comes the s2 hour, there is no alarm from among them
Kupih ovaj sat i odmah potražih tvoje uputstvo. Hvala Marine, kidaš.
Pozdrav, da li si uspio setovati da ti od notifikacija prikaže samo pozive? Malo je naporno kada konstantno izlaze notifikacije za mail, Viber, What's up.
Ne kolega,nisam ga ni povezao.
@@petarrankovic7532 Hvala za reply! Ja sam ga povezao odmah na app i ok je sve, ali me ovaj dio malo zeza i ne mogu da vjerujem da nema ta opcija. Lp
@@mak.alagic da li koristite brojač koraka? Da li je zaista neprecizan i problematičan? Hvala, pozdrav!
@@petarrankovic7532 da li koristite brojač koraka? Da li je zaista neprecizan i problematičan? Hvala, pozdrav!
Nice review..full and complete
The reason the chronograph is only accurate to one second is the memory in pixel display. The MIP uses most power when it changes. 1/100 second changes would drain the battery.
If incoming call, does the watch display caller name or number on the spot?
How do you turn off the notifications of your phone to the watch? While still connected for the time updates
Thank you so much for this. I just got this watch yesterday and this video helped a ton. How do i turn notifications off without having to unpair the watch from the phone? I already turned off the beep and vibration on notifications but the constant alerts on the screen with every text, calls etc are just annoying.
I want to know the answer to this too.
You need to do this on your phone i was looking for the same option on the app and the Watch but the only way is turn off the casio move notifications on your phone. By doing this you’ll have bluetooth functions without notifications
There's a sticker on the back case when u just bought it... Do you peel and romove it?
its incredibly comprehensive for the money but way more complicated than people need in all honesty. a simpler version of this with just the tide/moon/sunset screens, stop watch, count down timer and 5 alarms would be perfect - and solar powered to retain water resistance forever! all the step, activity, profiles, notifications etc ugghghhhhhh. nah nah nah.
"tide/moon/sunset screens, stop watch, count down timer and 5 alarms would be perfect - and solar powered to retain water resistance forever!"
Bro this is all I need
Hope you get to review the new GBD-200
I went through the exact same thing! I ended up downloading a bunch of different gshock apps trying to connect it to my phone.
Nice.. Thanks.. I was buy today.. Really love iy
I have this same watch and I do (mostly) like it. This display is stellar, moon phase and tide is great (once you synch the tide to the real local value), and the papery weird band is really cool (I hope it lasts). What drives me crazy: not being able to zero the seconds manually. I put the watch in airplane mode all the time because I don't care about Bluetooth notifications, but being able to synchronize with atomic time should not require hooking up to an app! (That said, this module is pretty accurate and I don't have to synch it as often as most of my other G-Shocks....)
Thanks for all the great gshock videos you've done for us. You are truly a community presence!
The Smartphone link answers your question . Only then you realize what is this watch all about. world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/technology/mobilelink/
Moon Shadow there is no question.
@@GinkgoJoe " What drives me crazy: not being able to zero the seconds manually. " It should not be the case with the Smart Link
Moon Shadow but it is the case without smartphone link (i.e. the whole point of the complaint: a watch should not require a phone to zero its seconds).
@@GinkgoJoe Remember when we used to call our handset as cellular phones? Now they call it smartphones because of all the features it can do for our convenience.
I agree with you when you say 'a watch should not require a phone to zero its seconds'" . But the GBX 100 is not just watch. It is a digital watch and digital watches are evolving. G Shock for its part, is doing its best to catch up with the evolution of the digital technology with the digital smart watches as their competitor. Whether you like it or not, your digital watch is linked to your essential gadget and that is your smart phone. The feature is meant to be used for convenience. But to each his own. To use it or not, it's your choice , your decision.
Great breakdown
I would like to know that gw-m5610, 5600 strap size can use for g-lite gbx100? I want to change metal strap on g-lite. Thanks
Does your screen display brightness "pulsate"? Like every half a second it goes bright and dims ever so slightly? Thanks
Please tell me how to set hourly chimes in this watch?
Hi, could you help, when I activate the auto light through app, it automatically turns itself off after a while, how can I set auto light permanently, as I was saying I setup through app and save ,but after a while it's de activated, Thanks.
Great video
Does anyone know if the vibration feature can vibrate for the hourly signal? (Or if there is 1?)
The sunrise and sunset data require smartphone or is it standalone ?
Does it have complete running mode like the gbd 100 or gbd 200?
For those voicing disappointment, best either try it out or try and find the old G7800 model. Big display. No fancy stuff.
did you show the lumination? can anyone pls reply with a timestamp for that?
how to set the hourly beep/signal/chime?
i can't seem to find it.
hello
nice review
i like it!!
100% Agreed on this one. at some point its counter intuitive
Does it have weekend only alarm?
You got a new subscriber just for being from Zagreb ! My family is from stepancici, and I visited them 2 years ago and cant wait to get back
Is it possible to change the date format in this module?
bang klo ga bisa pairing d jam nya gmna yaa? not availabel pdahal dah pairing di web nya, apa ga bisa d iphone ?
can you switch bluetooth off to save battery life? Will tides chart work with bluetooth off ?
Thanks man u help a lot
It has issues with gshock move app. Bluetooth connection with a smartphone can suddenly be disconnected
Great review
I just ordered one on Amazon got it for around 130usd$. Setup was absolutely a breeze on my Galaxy S10 wish it had tough solar.
you help me a lot thanks
Thank you mate ❤
How to set up the watch plz explain Model is GBA-800
Hello. Congratulations on the video.
I would like to ask you a question: after we receive a call notification, is it possible to see who called?
I ask this because I'm a surfer and I need to know who called me, after receiving a call notification ... (And yes, I'm thinking of carrying a small smartphone connected via Bluetooth with the CASIO watch, properly protected from water, inside my wetsuit ). but i can´t find that information anywhere... Could you see that for me?... If appears, it appears the number who made the call, or the name of the contact...?
Thank you very much!

Is there a normal countdown timer?
So I just purchased this watch a few days back and I cant select the APP function for the Tide setting. I mean, its there bu the watch gives me a NOT AVAILABLE message. Latter I managed to set it to the app but from the app only and ONLY for locations that were already pre set in the MOVE app. However, if I tap a location on the map and create a new one - It cannot be sent to the watch. Im now set to the nearest location but its still off and it affects the tide, moon phase and the sunset/sunrise time. Not great. Does anyone has the same issue?
At first I had the same issue. But was able to do it. Nothing comes easy. You'll get through it.
Mine will never go to power saving mode after I have set it to my preferences. Help?
Great video.
But for me the notifications are useless because every time I watch a CZcams video and skip ahead or back a few seconds I get a notification. Shame Casio hasn't updated the app to better handle the notification settings. I can't use this watch like it is right now. And that's 2 years later...
Hi, have a question
How do a change the Honolulu_USA?
Hello, I accidentally turned off the bluetooth function in the watch, can you tell me how to turn it on again? Best regards
Is it has the hourly chime function?
Unfortunately the preset tide times are wrong and most of the preset tide locations are worthless, especially for surfers.
How do I turn off Bluetooth function on this model to conserve battery?
how can you turn of blueetoth in the watch so it stops searching for a device?
Can the timer be with vibe alarm instead of the beep?
thank you.
Yes, maybe you've gotten it sorted by now, but it's an option of you manipulate the "Sound and Vibration", and toggle the options for them respectively; turn off the beep sound for alarms, and turn on the vibration for alarms. Hope this helps.
hey dude, solid vid as always, have you got any ideas on which straps will fit these? i hate mine, but not sure which to swap it out for, cheers
It seems to have a standard 16mm lug like regular gshocks
@@WatchGeek ok cheers buddy
Thanks for your vblog. I too have a love hate relationship with mine. It won’t pair to install an update. My Bluetooth settings says it’s connected but my Casio says otherwise. I disconnected it from Bluetooth to reconnect and now it won’t pair. I share your pain, buddy.
Is this wacth support auto light sir
how to set the pace length pls?
Can i change display language of week?
Might be a silly question, I want this watch mainly for the screen and tide data, I don’t want Bluetooth on, If I run the watch in Airplane mode, Will the tide function still work? I am not interested in downloading any app and are happy to set it up manually on the watch.
Good question, I think it will unless you change your location
Does it has SIG every hours like Dw5600?
