the circle is complete! You are not a watch collector until you buy a model twice !!!!👍🏻‼️
I have 3 square G-Shocks (like chips, you can't have just one). When I first saw the all metal square G and the price I thought they must be crazy, who would ever buy such a thing. Well...after a bit with my other squares I did just that. I have not regretted it for a second. I absolutely LOVE this watch. There is just something about it, its one of those things you just don't understand it until you experience it. It has become my primary go to when I go on vacation, it can do anything, go anywhere and always looks great doing it. Plus no one wants to steal it, like a Rolex. Others have moved in and out of my watch box but this one is here to stay. Thank you Russell for another great, entertaining review. Keep up the good work - Cheers.
I too have three g squares. I love looking in my watch case and seeing the three perfectly synchronized Gs. 🙂
Gorgeous G-Shock square. I`ve had mine for a week now and absolutely love it. Got to be the most beautiful watch in my G-Shock collection. Would highly recommend this watch to anyone.
Really enjoy your reviews! This one is my 3rd Gshock in collection. It has an auto light function as well, hold light button down until you hear a beep and when you lift your wrist to view time the light comes on for a few seconds. Cool feature and not all Gshocks have that, 2 of the 3 I have do and really helpful when it's dark. Cheers
Stellar! What a looker. The price seems nuts compared to the resin, but at least it looks like they put every cent of it into the case and strap! Thanks, Russ! Enjoy!!👍
Local shop had a discount for the 40th anniversary and got one for 320€ new. Not as heavy as i thought it would be based on some of the reviews (which is a good thing). It's just really nice on the hand, super easy to adjust and looks great. Really awesome watch.
I own over Forty Gshocks, and every single one of em is awesome in it's own right. Never had any quality issues and they just keep on going. Practically un breakable. Great review btw.
Damn I'm approaching the 20's and I thought that was a lot lol
Why?
@@rw2266 we've got the disease..
damn dude thats an obssestion for sure
Paul I think I could fall down your obsession rabbit hole!!!! Just with the squares!!!!
Very entertaining as always. As survival instructor and traveler the G-SHOCK GW-M5610U-1ER is the one for me. The GW-5000U-1ER is an option if you are ok with a bit more weight in return for a metal inner case, screw down caseback and higher price. This all metal one is more like a dress watch if you still want the statement made you are also an outdoor person or just love G-Shocks. Other than that it does not add anything and you can't even see the status of the battery. As a dress watch I wear a hand wind field watch. But truth be told. As only watch this would be an option.
I really love my 5610, but recently picked up a 5600 for $40 and popped it into a $100 black after market titanium case and bracelet. It’s very nice 😊 light weight and inexpensive.
I really rate the 5600E and I own half a dozen squares including the JDM GW5000u.
Haha that's what I did, too. I wanted the metal kit on the 5600 instead of paying the price of this one.
Ive had mine about two years now and love it ! I wore it at my old job ( Lowes hardware) and it has a lot of battle scars lol . Still wear it a decent amount to my new job ( watch salesman ) great addition to any collection !
This watch is a beauty for any square fan indeed. I was checking this one at a retail store this week. The price seems nuts compared to the resin, but at least it looks like they put every cent of it into the case and strap! Thanks, Russ! Enjoy!!👍
Yes, the price is nuts compared to the resin. But for the much more 'tech professional' look, it's tough to beat.
I was really lucky to pick one of these up in as new condition, boxed and all for £200, it's definitely niche but it's a great addition if you're a g shock fan 👍
Fun video. I think it's fantastic. Wouldn't wear it as a beater, but to work in a semi formal office, a nice night out, etc., it works well. That is what I think of it, it's a casual everyday watch you can use most anywhere and use it like you would any analog steel watch. A bit expensive, so I bought a full stainless steel homage from a local Orient sub brand. I wear it everywhere, even with a suit! Thanks for the great video.
Since I bought my GBD H-1000 (ABC, heart rate, GPS, accelerometer, bluetooth) I haven't worn another. I think I've found the perfect G for me. My only complaint is it's a little heavy but I accept that for the functionality. Never got the metal cases and still don't but there are Gs for everyone that's the beauty of them. I tend to agree with the wife on this one. 😊
There was a time I proudly wore a G Shock with a business suit. I had no idea at the time what a faux pas that was. Now only wear automatics but still enjoyed
This has been my only watch since 2019 February. It is robust as all good shocks are. Dropped it few times. Gets dirty I was it and let it dry. The thing I like about it is it looks and goes under the radar but also doesn't feel plasticky and throw away. One slight criticism in the beginning was it looked too shiny. But I have gotten used to it now. Wish they did a matte version of this.
they do make a matte version but its a MRG
They now have the “recrystallised” one, but still much more expensive and with a negative display (higher contrast STN LCD as well, though).
@@brunosco Yeah I know,, but to me negative display are a no-go. Also the finishing doesn't make it more subtle.
I had this watch about a year ago and loved it... except for those end links. I also have 6.5 inch wrists, and just could no longer stand looking at the space at the corners of my wrist. Sold it and don't regret it. I now have the yellow tough solar, which fits like a glove and it scratches the G Shock itch.
I have the 5610 bc with a rose gold mod kit on love it, but I just had to get me the 5000 in full metal so just ordered one from the same place as you on special offer now for £351 so couldn't resist comes tomorrow, I own about 30 watches all mechanical recently brought the casio oak the green metal with green strap and love it then saw the 5610 on ebay with the mod kit for £100 in mint condition so brought that so that got me to buy this watch having mechanical watches all the time it's so cool just to no that my casio 5610 blows the lot of the out the water with how accurate the time is with the mutiband 6 feature. I was going to get a 5610 and buy the silver mod for it would of been alot cheaper but after watching your video and you talking about how good the fit and finish is and the screwdown back made my mind up. Keep the great clips coming your the craziest one on CZcams for watch reviews, love it cheers mate
I’m a firefighter and I wear one of these daily. It’s scratched up and has taken a beating, but it never fails.
I don't care about watches. Not at all. But i love how you admire, describe them. I literally scream out of joy every time you publish new episode! Outstanding show! Keep it alive as long as possibile!
Thank you for featuring affordable watches. I do not own a G-Shock but I do own 2 Casio Protreks (a PRW3510 and a PRG110T). Both are still working except for the outer latch on the clasp of the PRG110T (the main reason I bought a PRW3510 then removed the original strap and replaced it with a Nato strap). I also find your quirky videos more interesting to watch.
Great review. And very funny, as usual! I owned this one, too, and returned it for its weight, later bought the blue one with the resin strap, gave that to a friend, and went back to my Rangeman. Great watch, though! Thank you.
I have the GMWB5000-1 with negative display and I added the bracelet to it.
Is one of my favourite watches in my collection.
Glad to hear you have reformed on the metal square (although I did sell mine too…) . Loving the display facts too :)
It’s not until you review these babies, do you find out cool info like that Gordon!
If you want something more compact but not cheap looking like the FW-91 line. the pre-G DW-1000 is the way to go. Tough to find but definitely worth it
Love the GMW5000 line. Got the gold one and silver resin. I just love it that they are always accurate and their finish is amazing.
Jack! That gold one is awesome!!
I always just felt like it was almost a spiritual successor to the classics that you mentioned. Just a more contemporary version that was new and improved.
Thanks Russ for another informative and hilarious review!! BIG thumbs up! I'm a G-Shock fan but the metal versions don't resonate with me, with the possible exception of the Metal CasiOak.
Hi! Do you know what the weight of this metal g-shock is when sized for your 6.5” wrist? I have the same wrist and I am interested in this watch but don’t want to go over 150g. Thank you!
I own this exact watch it’s been my daily since 2018 and it’s absolutely amazing. I wear it more than many other watches double or triple the price.
Fantastic Russell!! I bought my first full-metal square (GMW-B5000-1MB) this summer with a 20% discount and I love it to bits. Fits nicely into any collection :)
Where did you buy it with the discount?
@@dgftw Online from a department store called The Bay here in Canada
The fixed 1st link problem is real, for smaller wrist. The squares' lug to lug is already almost 50mm. If you want full metal with better fit, check out the G-Steel series esp. the B400 or B500.
I had a very similar experience with this watch as you. When it first came out, I bought it, didn’t fully appreciate what it was and sold it. Just this week I have put in an order for another one and I am certain I will keep it.
It’s superb watch. I have black dial version on rubber strap and recently changed to a bracelet - I am in love again ;)
Thanks for vid, Casio rules!
Russell you’re an absolute legend mate and your nutty enthusiasm is another level, especially for G-Shocks! My only G-Shock, well my only Casio full stop, is the GMW-B5000G-2ER but I’m seriously contemplating pulling the trigger on the virtual armour B5000TVB-1ER, it’s a thing of beauty😍 just need to work on justifying such a lay out to the missus.
Thank you so much Charlie
@THE MAD WATCH COLLECTOR thank you for the reply as you've genuinely made my day dropping me a line Mad Meister, top banana!
Yeah, your wife was spot on.
It’s not for me, but each to their own.
Keep up the good work.
Bought and sold this watch after a week because I wasn't sure I liked the weight and was constantly worried about scratching the polished finish = not very G-shock.
It's a stunning looking watch and the STN is the sharpest of all positive digital G-shocks. A few months later I'm regretting my sale and want to repurchase - need to learn to relax and just love it.
5610 has much better display
This watch is a beauty for any square fan indeed. I was checking this one at a retail store this week. The dial looks really crisp, I like the fonts, the case and the bracelet look great too - yes it is blingy, but in a proper way... But that's the worst part! I just couldn't imagine using this one like my other classic resin squares. They're like Mike Tyson in the ring - I don't necessarilly want their face to get beaten up, but I won't worry much if they do so, because they can handle it. And I'd absolutely hate to have the metal square all scratched up, but what's the point of the g-shock tech here then? That's what I was thinking while checking them, so I saved me these 500 bucks in the end.
No probs! Agree this isn’t a G you beat. It’s a Paradox GShock. A G you know would and could take a beating but you’ll never know how tough it is as you’ll never wear it in those situations!!
The only watch I ever got compliments for (and I have watches that cost a LOT more). In my view it's not "pricey" but actually a steal.
The full metal takes a while getting used to, I got mine 3-4 years ago and I’ve worn it off and on, I keep coming back to it now for some reason and I can’t get it off my wrist, it’s the most expensive watch I ever bought as I bought as a sort of congratulations to myself and I treasure it, it’s perfect and does everything, looks cool, perfect time, never dies, cracking piece 👍😁
you seem like the type of guy who would enjoy an anniversary edition square with the original square styling.
That is a very nice display. I like the retro digital 7-segment appearance, so paired with better contrast it looks really cool.
Absolutely, very crisp icy white screen!
I bought this watch from your recommendation, I’ve had it just under a year now, I wasn’t really into watches but now i absolutely love my G-Shock, Even more so that anywhere in the world you go, This sets the time, I’m from Scotland, And we went to West Virginia last year for a cabin holiday, loved it, about an hour after landing, the watch changed the time for me, Magic.
YESS!!!!!!!! So happy for you my friend
I bought one with black metal case and black resin band, I have replaced the glass with different model and now it looks like the first gshock released in 1983, I have full resin one too, because it is the best option to have both watches, metal and resin, and both of them are worth buying. I also agree, STN display is great, but MIP display beats them all and I hope Casio will go in MIP direction.
Good afternoon and thanks for sharing such useful videos. I would like to know if it is suitable for someone with a 16.5 cm wrist or if it would look too big to know if it is worth buying or if it is too big. Is there also a difference in how it feels between the metal and the rubber?
I’d say go for it!!!
Russell, the watch doesn't look big on your wrist at all. Just invested in one of those for my daily wearer. Can't wait to pick it up and get it on my wrist. Love Gs, love a bracelet, this thing is perfection to me.
The square used to be my favourite too. Then I found the LINEAGE LCW-M100TSE-1AJF. And even better I then found the WAVE CEPTOR WVQ-M410-2AJF. As much as I love my square I just cannot go back after that.
I have that same Lineage and ever since I bought it my squares spend most of their time on the shelf. I have a really nice titanium square that cost a fair amount but I just find myself preferring the Lineage over and over again.
I collect metal square G-Shocks. Didn’t understand how one would spend so much on a g-shock, tried a friend’s one and I was hooked…..
I just have no use for all of those functions but I've never scuba Dived and I have a few Dive watches in my collection,so We buy whatever makes us happy,hopefully staying above water(Terrible pun) keep having fun Russell,You've brightened my day!
Hahahaha thank you David!!
I have the GWM5610 but I bought a third party metal bracelet & case for $60 that I quite like. Maybe that's something to think about? The mods out there for this watch give you a lot of options. Try it out!
Bought the GMW B5000 last Christmas on an offer where I got a discount of £120 on it. Absolutely, and totally worth it. I think of it as a more "dressier" G Shock, as the GW M5610 is my Casio F91W if that makes sense. The F91W and the A168 on my 20cm wrists look as if I've nicked them from my missus or my nephew, as they look too small and weedy for me. Got an absolute behemoth recently in the for of the Casio "Sand and :Land" edition, the GX 56 SL 4ER which is very over engineered if you thought a normal G Shock was hefty enough. Funky red and black colour, that looks like meat. Brilliant.
100% agree TMWC, if you don't already have a G-Shock then you're in for a err... a (G) shock! I have this watch but I got mine after already experiencing G-Shocks (I also have the solar 5610 that I purchase some years before). Call it a dress version of the 5610. When you first put this watch in the wrist outside it's so shiny that you feel you'll be attacked at any moment by an ever increasing number of magpies on the way home from raiding a jewellery convention but that's only because it's a G-Shock. It's a keeper.
Hey russ great review, what you think of the 40th anniversary version of this with the crystallised metal?
The new B5000D-2 is looking damn tempting 😅
I like it from afar, just don't think it would work for me. Still on the fence about that GM2100-1A. I love the look but I honestly prefer the functions on the GAB2100-1A.
I think the 2100 wears brilliantly on wrist Chris for sure! I was just lured back in with the original square look!;)
I'm in exactly the same position. I want a half metal casioak with bluetooth and solar
Look at skx mods they’re so much better quality than G-SHOCK stainless
I started out with the silver one, then added the black an the red one.
The red one is worn by my wife, she absolutely loves it.
@4:54 LOL " I need to see a display casebook!" hahaha,
:)
There is a OEM resin strap that you can use with this, and it really lightens the weight
One of the most blingiest watch in the full metal G-Shock range. Too bad it's out of my price range but yeah the full metal mod of the DW 5600 does the trick for budget conscious watch collectors!
Superb point my friend!
I did a similar thing with a black metal bezel plus some jay and Kay’s adapters and a nice aftermarket fkm rubber strap.
My first G Shock was purchased in 84.DW-5200 among many other vintage screw backs of that era.in my minds eye steel watches with steel bracelets have to be automatic,while G Shock are resin.
John that is superb! How does it look now?;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
NOS,I Collected nothing but vintage for years.ever hear of a WW-5100 TEMP Resist with the 485 module.same design as a 5200 but different colorway and larger battery.
The only problem I have with it, it's that it is a scratch magnet!!
The lack of sapphire is not by design; they sell other metal G’s for even more money (+1.200 GBP) that do sport sapphire crystals. So it’s classic cost-cutting.
Agree Jonas!!!!
I just got a used Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000D-1ER today for £220.Decent price and i love the watch, unlike my 5610!:)
Thanks a lot for all your videos. I like your humor and it's always 10 good minutes. Thank you.
Nice video, Rus. I got a 5610 as a beater for my collection and that was exactly the right choice because it's almost a GADA watch except maybe for the opera. Then i got a GBD-200 in lime because it's really a fun summer watch and now i have a problem justifying to buy more G-Shocks! Two really are enough. I'd rather spend some money on a nice vintage piece or the Pelagos, who knows...
Well said my friend! I’d add a 6900 OG in that line up personally!!!;)
Ooh shiny! Little too blingy for me but definitely cool. I'm waiting on a blue GBD, which I believe you have, so looking forward to that. Thanks for the review bud. All the best!
great episode again...i like many others bought from ali express stainless steel/chrome case for my 5610,s...love em.
Seriously thinking of getting one of these if I can find one and brushing the entire watch. Not a fan of polished steel. Have the resin square and it's epic.
When I saw the price, I bought a 20 quid SKMEI Shock 😂
very well reviewed! Just picked one up. It's awesome on my 7 1/4in wrist.
Nice review, I've looked at this watch a few times myself but just can't justify the $650 Canadian price tag. However I did get the Sanda 390 homage for $15 and for that price it's a decent watch - it's surprisingly comfortable (and interestingly the end links angle down a bit further than the G-Shock so it fits nicely). It's just a basic digital watch, no bells or whistles, but it does the job.
Maybe one day I'll pull the trigger on the real one, or even better the titanium version ($4000+!!!)
Or maybe not, my wife would kill me :)
Hell yeah! Check with the wife!!! I couldn’t pay anymore than I did for a Casio you could get in resin for 100 bucks.
My wife has killed me many times, I'm like a cat, however I may be on my 9th life at this stage. Another good option my friend, is get the resin one and buy a nice stainless steel mod kit for about $80 on Ali Express, they're very good quality and it's just us$180 including the watch. You could get it and you might live to see another sunrise! 😂🌅
Come on man, don't mind the wf opinion. If it's your valuable hobbie and passion just do it! But to justify it more, save the coins over time! It will be worthy
@@Gabriel-um6el Very good point Gabriel but joking aside it's not really good value when you can get the resin one for $100 and mod it with a nice stainless steel mod kit for around $80 you can have virtually the same watch. But that's just my opinion of course, some people want the real one!
Buying homages seems like a smart idea at first but believe me, you get bored of them. On a homage level suddenly you can have any watch you want and that takes the fun out of saving, researching and ultimately buying the one watch you REALLY want. 60-80% of the hobby - gone!
Awesome video and one of the best watch reviews on CZcams! Sadly i have the gold one, really want the silver one now! Continued success with the channel 👍
I got one myself a few months ago. What a luck i have 2 wrists, so i can wear this beauty on the left (and do my workout with it a kind of), and my beloved 6900 on the right
Superb g collection my friend!
4:13 His reaction to the G-shock is dawg funny! :D
I took some sand paper to mine and turned the polished to brushed. Much better.
Love it. I got the gold version too. Great summer watches.
Great video as always. I have the full metal and love it! Gets more comments than my other watches by far.
Jason! Appreciate you watching! It’s a head turner for sure!!!!
I upgraded my GWX-5600-1JF with a titanium case and bracelet and it makes it so much more wearable
That’s cool! I’ll look into that one!
Great video!! I purchased the GWB 5600 and it is literally the same exact G-Shock as the 5000, to the T. I can buy a mod case for it from SKX mods that is much higher quality than Casio is. You should compare these two watches to the 5000 instead of the 5610…
I got one brand new for £300 in a Christmas sale. Love it. And that is a saving of £2900 vs. The MR-G
Have to correct you calling the resin square Dw-5610, it is the GW-M5610. Glad to see you still rockin the F91. Your vids are very entertaining particularly the costume sketches and editing. Thanks.
Thanks for the correction my friend! And thanks for the support!!!!
Brill show as always thanks, I am not sure about the shine but the finish like you say looks superb. I could see it being a stunner in titanium?
Having fallen in love from a far with this watch but unable to afford it became sad. Until found a replica metal bezal/bracelet from China for £60 clicked for happiness. It came I fitted it to my 5610 and happiness was found! The finish on the Chinesium case it awesome. So 5610 and case came to a princely £127. HOROLOGICAL NIRVANA!
😉👌
I second the Chinese route. Bought the mirror version of the G shock square, plus the chrome bezel from Ali Express. Ended up with a really cool looking G shock that people ask me about when they see it on my wrist. I kept the original black rubber strap because I thought the metal bracelet looked too blingy. I ended up with a great looking Casio for £100 all in.
@@christopdeck3457 very nice! 😁👌
Wearing this every day, it's nice to have the mineral glass which aligns with the G-Shock principle.
I sold mine as well. Ended up getting the rose gold model AND the Tokyo twilight instead.
Just purchased it.. that site had it on sale for £350(don't tell the wife) couldn't resist, already have the gwb5600 which is my fav.. well current fav til this puppy turns up 👍🏻
I forgot how nice and shiny they look brand new haha, mine is all beat up because it never leaves my wrist. Still looks good though!
Great video and review as always. I wonder what your thoughts would be on the all metal Casioak GMB2100 series. Your wife's thoughts are always appreciated as well. 😊
Your reviews and videos are fun and informative at the same time. This is beautiful watch and i hope you enjoy it this time.😉
Very kind of you my friend! Thanks for your support!!
I love watches and I wear my DW5600E as a EDW watch. G-Shocks are awesome and so is your passion for watches.
Pure and functional #art ❤ Thank you #Gshock and #Japan for my beautiful MRG B5000❤
I do like this metal one!. I also like the resin one. The difference in legibility at extreme angles doesn't really bother me so much. The price difference is big though. You could get the look by modding it with a nice stainless steel case and bracelet, $80 all in and convert your resin one. That's $180 including the watch! I seen one example my mate got for his and it looks stunning! Can be a, good option for those who don't want to spend $450. Excellent video as always Russ.
There are kits of the 5600 virtual armor now also.
@@patrickriarchy6054 Yes Patrick, there are some great options for metal modding G-Shocks. I'm thinking of getting a Bluetooth version resin Casioak and modding it rather than getting the new metal version.
@@brianmsahin
Great choice. I bet it'll look awesome.
Legibility is much better on 5610.
@@sengo2143how so? Do you mean by different angles?
Love your reviews its such a beaut of a square fully loaded too !!! think the gwm5610u is an absolute all rounder at a great price
Thank you my friend!!!
thats why i try and show people how many details the ggb100 misesd in the manual. you have to literally keep up with more than just the triple sensor. lol.
I got into watches in 2020, in isolatalion when I had covid. Until then my only watch for years was a Fossil Coachman, bought by my wife. Never cared avout watches, as I thought " I have a phone". Somehow I started watching Time Teller videos, bored in bed. And the THV, and then Teddy. In 10 days I knew more about watches than I ever did. And I wanted a watch of my own. Although mechanical watches were prevalent in those videos, everyone praised Casio and GShock. I got into mechanicals and automatics butI remebered I use to have some kind of digital watch at the begining of the 90' , most likely a turkish knockof of Casios back then, in Eastern Europe. So I got into Casios. Bought myslef the F91w, and then I fell in love with Gshock. The 5600. and then I found about the metal ones. GWM B5000s. And the rare beauty that is the IP aged version.GMW B5000 V-1er. Fell in love at first sight. A more cyberpunk, retrowave, blade runneresque watch I haven't seen ( well with the exception of Harrison Ford's Microma in the movie). It is in my opinion the best version out there of the metal G square. There was only one problem. Being limited edition oer 300 per zone, they were already out of stock and the second maket was even mkre expensive than the oricmginal which was about£900. almost double than the black normal version. I got myself that one, and even that I was thinking was quite a bit of money.However my wife was still seeing me watching pictures of the patinated one. Unbeknownst to me, she already bought it for me, she was just waiting for Christmas to give it to me. When I finally got it I was over the moon. it is just a gorgeous watch. At the moment is part of my " 2 watch collection", alogside the Christopher Ward C60 Saphire, another superb piece. It's my office and business watch, everybody that I meet is like wooah, all others being Tagged and Tudored and Submarinated :)). It's my winter watch. It's my adventure watch. It's my perfect watch.
Well what a start my friend! It’s amazing how deep you can fall down the rabbit hole in so little time! Your 2 watch collection sounds great! Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR cheers mate, I'm just going down to London to pay my respects to Her Majesty
I was a bit 'meh' from the thumbnails, but getting to see the whole thing..I do really like it..love that bracelet!.. I've never really been a big fan of casio, but these newer metal g-shocks are cool af!.. gotta get me one!, I'm gonna start with a resin Casioak (like that camo one) first..see how i get on with 'em..
I just got the stealth casioak and it's awesome. Definitely pick one up bro, can't go wrong 👌
@@leothelegend8201 Sweet.. I'll check the stealth one out a bit more too.. from what I remember they look properly cool too! Good thing is the price!.. thought they'd be more than they are tbh!.. Thanks for the 'heads up' tho Matey!
Started with a DW5600E for 40. USD to allegedly scratch an itch. I was a fool; rather than satisfy an urge, it cracked open a new door. Immediately wanted the DW5610 forb110.00 USD, fine. Now trying to justify spending 250.00 USD on the DW5000🇯🇵 with that sweet coated module & laser etched, screw down caseback & metal internal chassis 🤩
Outstanding vid as always 💯
edit: it's somehow like better, or at least a perk of ownership, that only a watch person would notice or care about the differences, and part of the fun in having them all. To most folks, they'd just see them all as the same basic digital watch 😏😉😌
Real recognize real 👀
Serious G love Russ, 1st watch I bought in the 90’s was a DW8900, or Mr G in full metal, amazing taper on the bracelet, a bit of a fat boy but nobody”s perfect 😂, definitely a precursor to this beaut, gotta love those chunky pushers!
Adam! Appreciate you watching the show! Yeah that DW looks tough!!!!!
I've got a Skmei-shock and I love it - don't judge me.
Great watch, but $400+ is, IMO, too much for a digital watch like this. I have the $22 Chinese SKMEI, which is an "homage" of the watch and is 20-times less expensive. I would suggest buying the SKMEI as a test and if you like it keep it, you can then upgrade and spend $400 on the GShock to get the "real thing."
Tell me you’ve seen my SKMEI metal review?!
