'It's a virus...and the only cure is...more Casios! I gotta have more Casios!' (modified quote from Bruce Dickinson, Saturday Night Live's "cowbell" skit). Have a great week my friend.
Casios are very addictive, indeed. I have somewhat around 40 😂 Glad they reissued GD-350 (was an insta-buy when I saw it). I was eager to get AE-1500, but I felt it too big (... and I have GA-100, 700 and GW-9400), probably because of the wide display and the big numbers. Definitely the cheapest way to have the look of Pro-Trek watch without the bells and wistles of the sensors and tough solar charging. Most of the people use it to tell the time only, anyway. The smallest g-shock I have is G-2900. It is really compact - almost the size and look of a fitness tracker. Great review of the topic. Thanks!
I declared my collection complete at 40, back in March... It's now June and I bought 4 more to 'tweak' the collection this month. That's it now though. I mean it...
Yessir, size matters! I have Casios from tiny women's watches to the behemoth GPR-B1000 Rangeman, but I've been wearing mostly f91w and a168 the past few months on my 7 inch wrist. Just depends on my mood, but I'm all digital these days; annoying to set up my automatics every week. Casio has something for everyone!
Thanks Tim. Casio makes the most variety of watches of any watch manufacturer, the range is vast. And we all get happily caught in their web ! Have you tried the MIP displays ? Thank you again and look forward to the next one!
Thanks for your effort and making this video 👍. Out of those watches the W-736H is - for me - the most useful, closely followed by the GD-350. I've found a vibe alarm the single most useful feature above all others (especially with the usual mice beeps most Casio watches have). I couldn't care less for atomic/solar/bluetooth/a thousand city codes/time zones or multiple alarms, but what I need and truly want on an EDC watch is a decent stopwatch with 24 hours (or greater duration) and a countdown timer with 24 hours (or greater duration) and settable down to the second. The W-736H does offer exactly that and even has one of the best LED illuminations I have seen to date on a Casio (and I usually hate that crap LED illumination, compared to the good old EL backlight, not to mention the ingenious Timex Indiglo). The GD-350 has the advantage to show the current time in stopwatch and timer mode, the instant timer access and the longer backlight duration of up to five seconds (compared to 2 seconds on the 736) but it is overall heavier, more bulky and the vibe alarm is significantly weaker due to the added mass. Right now I have about 60 watches, most of them are straight digitals, some are analog-digital a few more straight analogs (including autos). An analog watch is unbeatable for telling the time under all and most severe light conditions but other than telling the time at a glance, it is not very useful for me. The W-736H along with a few Timex's is one of my mostly worn watches and I think that tells a lot about it.
Excellent comment…couldn’t agree more. The vibe alert is a game changer AND no one else is disturbed when it goes off. The “Big Sky” W736H has the best light I’ve seen…and this light also isn’t disturbing anyone nearby. Have a great day and thank you for your thorough comment!
Excellent review. I've not seen it done by size, so props for originality. Sadly, your vid also makes me realise how much Casio Europe and especially Casio UK has fallen behind in the sale of sensible watches. It all seems to be fashion/retro with a big mark-up, then straight into G-Shocks of varying quality/value. Hopefully they stay focussed on the core market in your neck of the woods. Still, there's always JDM, but a man can grow old trying to make sense of that minefield.
The ae1500 is an awesome watch,ive had mine for atleast 4 months,night time light is awesome,its the non gshock watch that you would think is a gshock,for £20 odd in a variety of colours its well worth it.
This is great to know! I guess I am a medium to large Casio watch guy. I like how with the size, the features also generally increase. The legibility and intricacies of the designs also increase with larger real estate... The large size also seems to hold their more professional watches. Hope you are doing well Brother and that you had a great Passover!😁💪
When I did this review, it was light bulbs after light bulb going off as to why. Resurrection Sunday is always moving for me. Hope you're doing well my friend...did you get to a service on Sunday?
@@Realidealgear Same for me brother! Christ is risen! Sadly I could not. We got my my mom living with us at the moment so we have to look after her. We could however catch a service online although its not the same. Hope you have a fantastic week brother!
The best low cost watch is the first Mission Impossible watch the Casio DW290. 16:11 It has the same module as an original G-Shock! I bought mine around 1996, still have it and it still works!
@@Realidealgear I've had to make battery changes and it's had a change of strap. All the writing has worn off but it still works like new! I have 14 G-Shocks and I especially like the tough solar waveceptors which are so low maintenance.
Pretry cool see my w800h in your review! Its my daily partner on my truck maintenance routine (we get a lot of ore dust). I win this watch from a friend, 10 years ago, and its used. Now I need to replace the gasket of the back plate. Do you know where i can find this gasket?
Great video, thanks! I like the large and medium-large watches best. I do have some medium-small ones, but the small ones are just not my cup of tea anymore. As you asked for suggestions, the DW-9052 is a fun and economical old school G-Shock that though thicker is comparable in size to a square. You won’t like it though I don’t think. And yes, positive always and only! Might give in and get an MiP GBD-200. Had that one been launched in a positive MiP display, I’d have got one already. Another great medium-large G-Shock I think you’d enjoy.
Thank you for the suggestions! The MIP display is interesting to me. The DW-9052 has too many inefficient 'bars and wheels' in the display for my taste.
My add is the W-96H-1AVES Very legible and great retro future Genta-ish design. Apparently it's recommended to RAF recruits too. No 100wr as the W800 but you gain on the slimness.
I love my F91W for its iconic status. It fits on my wrist so comfortably it just seems to disappear. It holds up to showers if you want to go there. Not worried about the light, as I wear a Seiko on my other arm to bed. $11.99 for the win! (By the way, I have the Mudmasters GWG1000 and GWG 2000 too, just to balance things out.)
That’s very cool. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I receive my mod kit for my A168 today. I’ll let you know how it goes, and if it was worth $150 to modify a $25 watch. We’re just insane…
@@vipnetworker I got it from SKXMODS. It’s pretty expensive at $150, but it took what is essentially a cheap plastic watch to a solid stainless steel watch that I genuinely enjoy wearing. Not that you can’t enjoy the A168 in its original form. There’s a bunch of reviews of the mod on RUclips also.
Quite informative! My smallest non-GShock is A171. My biggest non-GShock is AE-3000 (And AE-1500 looks tiny in comparison !) My small GShocks are AW-500, AW-590, G7700 and 5600UE. Even though I love the large display on AE-1500, my Casio with crispiest display is W-96H. My biggest GShock is GD400 (which is slightly larger than GD350 I guess)
It’s large but there are other G-Shocks that are taller. The AE1500 is just a bit wider than my Pathfinder. Not bad. It’s a THE most legible Casio I’ve seen. Let me know what you think of it.
Unfortunately I don’t like negative displays either… that’s a bummer, because they’re cool, but not legible. Even with a tiny wrist as mine, the f-91 feels like a toy. Maybe because m used to wearing small gshocks… On the other hand some Casios are just too big for me. Useful video, as usual! Thanks!
You're welcome. It's great to hear from you again. It's interesting that the VAST majority of my Casios are in the medium range. Three each of the small and large formats. Take care.
Well, since fluids are not to be compressed, this is simple physics. The quartz tube however is and even if the watch doesn't break, the quartz eventually will.
Hi Tim. I recently bought a G Shock AWG-M100. Nice watch, but I'm not crazy about the size. Love the AE-1500 aaaaand the SGW-500H (the "Doghouse Watch"). Just not a small watch guy. Some mediums are borderline for me, also.

G Shocks are great tool watches. But I really wish Casio would clean up the face of the watches. Too many colors and too much text makes them look sloppy and childish. They need to use a simpler, cleaner monochromatic design.
Principle you're right. But the "problem" is, that a digital watch with no graphics, circles or whatever gimmick clutter can look a bit boring, just like analogs where a Chronograph mostly looks more interesting than a simple three hands watch. I have a Skmei 1871 that only shows day, date and time and while this make the legibility great, it is kind of boring looking (but I like it anyway). Now, Timex does the same and on my T-49901 it only shows time, day and date but the funny thing is, that this watch doesn't look boring at all. As a matter of fact, it has the best to read display I have ever seen from any digital watch - simply unrivaled.
Great video, I like casio watches, especially the g-shocks. Legibility is important for me, so last year I bought the GW-9500 Mudman with the positive display, it's not the best but I like the big digits. My other favorite one is the GWG 1000-1A3ER mudmaster, with all the sensors and great legibility and lume on the markers and hands. And I also have an older gbx-100ki-1 with the MIP display which I like,but unfortunately it is not solar and multiband 6.

I like the GD350 and the AE1500 but even those 2 are not as good as the GBD200 (with the MIP display). The good thing about the MIP is you can see the time even if you are in an a room with poor lighting! just tilt the watch and the MIP display will catch any little light and show the time without using the backlight.
Fortunately it’s on the lower side of Casio pricing. I’m with you on the legibility being high priority. Thanks for watching and sharing. Have a great week.
At 6:30 - Why would someone bring an extra F91 just to use as an alarm clock? Every phone on earth now has EXCELLENT alarm clocks built in. I get having an F91 as a backup beater watch, but specifically as an alarm is hilarious. That makes sense for 1984, not 2024. PS: I travel a LOT for work. No F91, iPhone, or wake up call wakes me up 😂 My trick is to order room service the night before, for morning delivery at a specific time. Someone banging on my door with food is the best alarm.
At 11:27 - You take apart Casio watches and mess with the soldering? I was proud for changing a battery 😂 I can’t imagine messing with the electrical components and expecting it to work.
It’s what Casio states. I agree, 20m is swimming and I do use any Casio with that rating in that manner. I believe I said as much in the video. Thanks for watching.
@Realidealgear I have the ae1600 and I love it. The shock square on me looks like a f91w. I'm looking for some thing rugged and at the same time I can dress it up. I'm starting to lean to a casioak models or a casio edifice
There are exceptions (only a few I'm afraid) when it comes to traditional LCD displays. With (-) MIP displays however, legibility is not an issue anymore.
Casio and Seikos, I can’t get enough of them!

All you shared is true.
The F91w is 20gms. or 0.7oz. At a dollar a gram, it's not cheap.
Another large display affordable option is the Sanda 6014, I use it as a beater watch.
G Shocks are great tool watches. But I really wish Casio would clean up the face of the watches. Too many colors and too much text makes them look sloppy and childish. They need to use a simpler, cleaner monochromatic design.

😎 : If you want to look cooler.
Awesome analogy. Have a great weekend.
AE 1500 is superb
It is that’s. Have a great weekend!
At 6:30 - Why would someone bring an extra F91 just to use as an alarm clock? Every phone on earth now has EXCELLENT alarm clocks built in.
I get having an F91 as a backup beater watch, but specifically as an alarm is hilarious.
That makes sense for 1984, not 2024.
PS: I travel a LOT for work. No F91, iPhone, or wake up call wakes me up 😂
My trick is to order room service the night before, for morning delivery at a specific time. Someone banging on my door with food is the best alarm.
True regarding the watch as an alarm. I think it's also a great watch or backup watch. Lots of options for alarms now versus 30 years ago.
Interesting the A 1500 watch now has a better strap.
Cool
I just wear a wall clock on a necklace like Flava Flav.
Haha..absolutely
Legible….
Bro you’re not reading court documents. They’re inexpensive digital watches.
They’re Casios 🔥 🤙🏽 🔥
Agreed.
Why do these types of clips ALWAYS have a knife flash light and gun??????? WHY
I have Casio gw m5610-1er. My EDC watch.
One of the best EDC watches of all time. You have a great watch! Thanks for watching!
Why not to turn the light in the watches that we can see the functionality of that????
The detailed review of each watch containing the light, is found on each watch’s review in the video library.
At 11:27 - You take apart Casio watches and mess with the soldering? I was proud for changing a battery 😂
I can’t imagine messing with the electrical components and expecting it to work.
Not bad for a beginner mod which is where I classify myself, beginner.
30 meters isn’t hand washing. Its 98”. That Bad Boy can swim….
It’s what Casio states. I agree, 20m is swimming and I do use any Casio with that rating in that manner. I believe I said as much in the video. Thanks for watching.
I only buy negative display lolll I just find it looks better..😅
What’s the most legible negative display you’ve come across?
@@Realidealgear Diffidently the GBD-200
Non sono gli orologi che hanno il cinturino piccolo ma sei tu che hai il polso da extraterrestre👍
Mi piace il commento! Forse ho un polso di dimensioni extraterrestri. Buon fine settimana! Abbiate cura di voi.
@@Realidealgear 👍
NEGATIVE DISPLAYS are the BEST.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Having a 8 inch wrist, I need big watches 😢
AE1500,GD350 are great candidates.
@Realidealgear I have the ae1600 and I love it. The shock square on me looks like a f91w. I'm looking for some thing rugged and at the same time I can dress it up. I'm starting to lean to a casioak models or a casio edifice
28:21 except sunrise/sunset time :(
True. Thanks for watching
What do you mean you lost your dog?
That's it.
@@Realidealgear Had to Shazam it. I’ve been getting curious 😂
It's an oldie. I had to request it from the radio station that played it as the bumper music for an AM radio show in Minneapolis.
Negative displays are only good for looks, terrible legibility.
Absolutely.
Thanks for watching!
There are exceptions (only a few I'm afraid) when it comes to traditional LCD displays. With (-) MIP displays however, legibility is not an issue anymore.
Tim who?
Right!. Have a great week.
You are not a reviewer., you're a seller and that's dishonest, because you promote yourself as a "reviewer". more honesty pal.
All watches I receive were purchased by me. Explain how I’m a seller?
Casioak are my favs..
Excellent G-Shock for sure. I light the lower profile and it's a G-Shock.
