Oh my goodness- lifesaver- I just bought one in a private sale that had never been used, but the batteries were dead. A few videos in and I was convinced it was fake/broken. Thankfully I found your video: I finally got it, thanks to you!
Not just your excellent tutorial, but the time index has been invaluable to me, usually when changing backwards and forwards between DST. Thanks for an excellent video which is a companion to my watch.
My fiance got me this watch as a gift. I'm a US Infantry Marine and these features such as the compass and temperature help me greatly along with the easy to read dial and especially the ability to set it to mils grid vs magnetic for land nav. This video saved me from reading through hours of manuals and for that I thank you sir.
I just inherited this watch from my late grandfather. Not really into watches but since this is something, I have to learn at least the watch and with this being super helpful has a ton of value. Thank you.
I'm so glad I watched this. I have a GA-1000 from 2012 but I stopped wearing it because I had no idea how to calibrate the compass and the hands. Now I can wear it again!
You mentioned in 17:55 that it does not have time swap function. Well, it has actually. When in WT mode, press both adjust button and light button, then it will swap between 2 time zones. I have this watch since 2013, and it is a good one. Last but not least, great review and tutorial. Thank you.
@17:56 - Actually, if I'm not mistaken, it DOES have the time swap function. Press the Light and Adjust buttons simultaneously and it will swap the alternate and home time zones. I saw another youtuber demonstrate this. Great videos by the way, you do a fantastic job showing the details of how these watches work. I find it so valuable because many of these features are so subtle that it's hard to figure out what they do.
Thanks heaps, man. My compass was reading roughly South. I tried calibrating it, to no avail. Through your tutorial I was able to pick up that the second hand was 33 seconds out. Hands aligned = compass corrected. Greatly appreciated!
I just ordered this watch in the orange and black. I needed a NON smart watch, but still wanted a dual time zone feature. The compass and alarms were nice add on features and i HOPE this night display is as cool as it appears on screen. Cant wait to get mine in the mail.
I have a GA-1000-4A (Orange) that my wife got me for Christmas 4 years ago. I love it. Just ordered a GBA-800-1 because I wanted another watch with a very legible, easy to read face, better illumination, and something in black so it matches a wider range of outfits I wear. (I can’t wear orange or grey EVERY day. Haha) These G-SHOCK watches are addictive.
Fantasic Vedeo thank you very much I have owned his watch for about 7 years now and always doubted the compass reading when compared to my SILVA compass, having now calibrated thatnks to this video both watch and Silva compass are now reading that same. Thank you.....TOP TUTORIAL AAAAA+++++++
You are a rockstar and a great presentation. I have had this watch for over 3 years and never knew how to use all of its features (until now that is). 😂 thank you!
Really good tutorial. I've had my orange one for a few days now and really like it. This video is a great alternative to the little instruction booklet!
Thanks for this complete tutorial, for those who think 5 minutes is enough you gotta find yourself missing. my watch is like this sir but only the hour hand and minute hand will glow in the dark, the number 3,9 and 12 won't. and the light is color blue comes from twin sensor.
Thank you for your video... You explained every function and how to set up the Casio module no. 5302 ... Def saving this video for future set ups ...Thanks bro
I bought this out of yard sale for $10 I didn't realize how expensive it was she said it it's not running it's not working I took it to the door and it took two batteries it cost me $20 the watches like brand new she said her grandfather bought it he passed away never got a chance to wear it thank you for sharing this video it's a very very nice watch thanks again 🇺🇸👍
The compass is nice,it lights up nice, but my MTG-900 is still better at telling time, date, day of week day or night. It's not as bright but my old eyes can read it easy without glasses. It has the tilt up auto light feature but most importantly its wave-ceptor style (pre wave-ceptor I think). It's solar too. Honestly, I think it's the best g-shock ever made because it's the most practical. I cant even believe some newer models ditched the wave-ceptor and the solar. All the excess stuff compromises the display readability. The MTG-900 has typical other functions, multiple alarms and a snooze, but one misunderstood one is the timestamp. I use it to review security footage when I think someone might have ripped me off. Saves time reviewing video footage. But the main thing is I can look at my watch in dark and without struggle see time, date and day of week without hardly need to focus. Your watch, even though much brighter on shows time well.
This model GA 1000 - if I am not wrong - has swapping time function:- when you are in WT mode, press buttoms "adjust" and "light, the local time (of the analogue) and the world time (of the digital) will be swapped with each other.
*_Once again WG you delivered yet another timely review. Your compass topic had the greatest utility for me, especially the compass bearing portion. Also, I didn’t know that Tough Movement Casio G-Shocks had the auto correct feature of the analog hands. That makes me like my GW-3000 a little more. It’s worth saying reiterating partna, that you’re the man!!_*
Tako jednostavno namještanje sata,a meni je prijatelj danas dao gw 4000 da ga namjestim to je tako kompliciran sat trebalo mi je preko pola sata da mu sve složim.
fantastic tutorial..I just had my battery replaced for the first time since buying this watch 3 years ago and the analog hands weren't matching the digital time...was able to fix it with this tutorial....thanks...well done...
I love this watch i had it for 3 months now i got the 2B model. Its a beautiful watch all the gravity master and its affordable even my wife noticed that im wearing a beautiful watch cause i didnt told her that im buying a new watch hahaha.
Congrats on a new watch and thank you for watching I'll be making a giveaway of a GShock watch when I reach 10.000 subs, which should be in about 2-3 weeks so make sure to subscribe and follow the videos to see how to participate 👍
From all wathces you reviewd this one looks the best. I kinda like those tactical looking watches even if its not mabey......but looks cool! Keep up the good work, shared your channel just now. *CHEERS*
Hi, finally very good review, your explenation is very good and simple, now I know how to use this watch because its manual can be complicated for someone who is new in this like me for example. I had the only one problem my watch always after seven to ten days started to show the wrong analouge time again, you explained this problem at hands home position . I did this every ten days but it is annoying because you never know when the analouge watch will start to show the wrong time again. I took the watch to the service and they told me that everything is fine no problem in mechanism so I hope it will work well but I don't know if this problem will come back again then the watch has some serious problem. thanks
+Ryan Jones yes it is, if I were Casio I would put even stronger Blacklight LED's so they charge the hands and markers to the max each time you press the light button
First off, thank you for very informative videos. I'm currently thinking about buying this watch, specifically GA-1000-4B model.

Depends on your preference. Both watches are identical with the GA-1100 displaying a secondary time zone in the home time. So if that's important to you, go for the 1100, otherwise the 1000 is great. Especially with that neon illumination.
Thank you. I've been trying set this watch for quite awhile. This is the only video with clear instructions. You deserve an Academy Award.
Haha thanks

Have had this watch for 3 or 4 years. Never could work it thoroughly or properly until Tonite. Excellent tutorial! THANK YOU! WELL DONE.

+x8alexisonfire9x I'm glad I was of assistance, wear your watch in good health :)
My first thought was "30 mins.", what, way too long. So glad I watched this, super thorough!
Thank you! Ive had this watch approx 3yrs now. And i never knew about the magnetic declination. Thank you really.
I just inherited this watch from my late grandfather. Not really into watches but since this is something, I have to learn at least the watch and with this being super helpful has a ton of value. Thank you.

No, he is a yootoober. Bono is a rockstar.
Always go back to this video when ever I have my batteries changed
It does have a world time swap function. In world time mode just press the 2 top buttons A and B together and it will swap time zones.
Ralph Phillips *It sure does man!!!! I just tried it & as Emeril would say, “Boom!”. Thanks a ton partna‼️*_
As a collector, you are my immediate go to Guy, for setting-resetting all my G-Shocks. Thankyou for being on point.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺😉

Very good review.. everything in detail.. my compass was out, now calibrating the seconds and minute hands corrected it.

I needed to calibrate the compass and thermometer. This video helped me a lot.
Really helpful video, and your voice is pleasing to listen too. Thank you mate.
Thanks for the kind words 😊
Most thorough tutorial that I’ve seen! Great job!

Watch Geek actual person?....
Eric White meant to say it's nice to know it actually helped someone :)
@@Stan-ug9mx how u manage in the end..i have same problem..i calibrate..but doesnt show the correct hour in Athens..thx
If you did everything right, it might be down to DST setting, just redo the hands position correction, NOT compass calibration
Thanks for taking the time to disassemble these g shocks for all to see. great videos!

Some of these do have issues with the hands getting misaligned, if you can exchange it under warranty do it
Hi,
thanks for your answer I will do it if the hands start to make a problem again,
nice video afterall
Awesome.. thank you!
I'm glad you liked it
Nice and organized review thanks
+Daniel Caruana thanks 😊
Fantastic review, thank you!
+Jure Lesjak thanks 😊

thanks
Great Video Man..
Very Informative.
This has been very helpful. Thank you very much
I'm glad I helped 😁👍
I'm glad I helped 😁👍
I’ve worked it out 😀 thank you.
First off, thank you for very informative videos. I'm currently thinking about buying this watch, specifically GA-1000-4B model. However, I've got one question: you didn't mention in your video, whether it has "Hands Shift" feature, or not? Thats quite important to me, since I'm planning on using most features, but the analogue hands clearly can get in the way of digital displays sometimes.
That's already quite expensive watch to me, and although I've browsed dozens of online shops offering this series, I can't find any info on that anywhere. Product descriptions simply miss it.

Thanks in advance!
Grt tutoria thanks but i just bought 2 days back and although the watch seem fine one night thw mode automatically changed to utc mode is the watch faulty pls let me know ???
It shouldn't do that
Watch Geek thanks for your reply have ordered a replacement
So this is like the mudman g9300 but with analog hands, and no solar. Which would you prefer?
Really helpful video, Thank you
Many thanks for the video , help me a lot 😉
Hello i need help. Which watch is beteer GA-1000 or GA-1100. Because I want to buy but I don't know which one? Thank you
Depends on your preference. Both watches are identical with the GA-1100 displaying a secondary time zone in the home time. So if that's important to you, go for the 1100, otherwise the 1000 is great. Especially with that neon illumination.
Can the hands be parked out of the way?
Hello awesome video. I have a quick question my mode dial hand isn’t aligning with my functions properly. is their a way to fix that?
Yes it is explained under hand home position correction, you have the time stamp in the description
