- The GBD-200 is without a shadow of doubt the best stealth all black Gshock watch out there. The negative MIP display compliments the all black look and feel of this great wrist watch. If you're after that all black look... this watch will 100% deliver

I've had mine for about a year and I see NO reason whatsoever to change for another watch. This is a watch that I can use its light at night when I wake up, not have my glasses on and still easily read it. I use its vibration alarm twice a day on week days. I don't even use its smart phone features because the watch itself is about as perfect as it comes for my needs. The battery life is phenomenal. It looks great and works great.
How long has your battery lasted?
@@BAR-ct7ti Just about 2 years and I use the vibration alarm on the workdays twice a day, and the light a decent amount. I still love this watch.
I have this all black version and I absolutely love it.
Awesome looking watch.
Currently rocking my gw5000 and I'm glad g shock is finally starting to innovate again. Hopefully they'll release a mip display, tough solar and mb6 in a solid metal case within my lifetime.
I noticed you wearing this in some of your previous videos. This is definitely my next watch, thanks for the in depth review pal. 💪
My pleasure!
Just purchased in fluorescent color, awesome
Of the 28 G-Shocks I currently own this is the one I cannot seem to take off my wrist is just absolutely perfect but only if it had solar power that would be the ultimate
no one have 28 gshock watches , stop lying
Yeah I wish it was solar, it could so easily have had, solar is absolutely brilliant, 4 of my 6 G’s have solar.
@@lufasumafalu5069you must not be a watch addict. I’m already on 20 and not stopping anytime soon.
Hi mate. It's not sunrise and sunset, it show home time and world time. Nice review and length, thanks. I was so disappointed that the new Mudman didn't use a MIP display. I would love to see a GW-9400 Rangeman replacement with a MIP display and updated materials and sensors.
What a div! Thanks for the heads up. I'll add a note in the description 😆 Me too with the Mudman MIP. My guess is there's more behind the screen to fit in, or the additional layer over the screen wouldn't have worked for the digital compass. I hope they work it out soon. I think if they can shrink down the bezel around the MIP screen to make it larger and take up more of the face, plus work out how to drop in tough solar that would be awesome. I'd also be down for recharging too as long as they didn't through in the kitchen sink too. I'm happy with a simple watch with a larger MIP screen
I'd like that too. I really like the GBD-H1000 (I have 5) which has a lovely big MIP screen. I tried the H2000 but didn't like it. It seemed like a step down somehow. I hope the rumoured GPR-B1000 replacement is a bit smaller so that I can wear it in public 😀 @@MoorlanderEDC
Oh man. I forgot about that model. I need up date my watch list and sell a kidney 😆
Nice review man. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great watches I have this one, and recently bought the GBX-100KI-1 Kanoa Igarashi edition, which is almost black with some sand style print on the black bezel, and some extra functions. I love the MIP display, very good visibility. But I don't use the Bluetooth functionality so much. I would prefer the multi band radio syncing,and solar power. I still have the G-7800 model which is very similar to the gbx, a full dot matrix negative display, and the most customizable module. Even the font can be changed, and more. But they discontinued, and that module never appeared in another watch.
I love this watch. I have it in light grey (-UU code) and I think that is gorgeous and amaizing.
I also love this video. I watch it again and again and I enjoy your description and story about it. Thanks, 😉
Glad you enjoy it! I whole heartedly agree, this is a great wrist watch and everybody should have one
Very nice! I might get one, depending on the price...
Great review, thanks! Will definitely be getting this watch, albeit in blue. Would wear it like you do as well, so guessing could get 4 maybe even 5 years out of the battery. Will be my last watch once I get it 😂😂😂
Thanks for your excellent review! If Casio would add tough solar ánd atomic clock sync via radio, it would be an alltime legend!
Totally agree! I think you've just described my grail watch 🙌
@@navinkalekar I'm not sure the watch exists
With the help of your review, I had purchased one today. Thank you
Glad to hear it helped my friend
Just ordered mine and watching this is making me feel like a kid on Christmas, can’t wait to fidget with it, good video brother very well said 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Have fun!
Just ordered this in white!
Great choice
Have this in darker blue (took it as I love the look and feel) and that I can benefit of that view with 2 timezones.. The smart functions via the app suck. The app connects slow, even the watch options without the app is bad. If you want to use the stopwatch and reset the stopwatch back to zero, it takes to much and is super slow (Exactly as you showed at 15:40)
other than that it's a nice watch, but I don't really use the smart/Bluetooth unless I'm lazy when I'm switching the 2 timezones
I’m always looking for a new G-Shock! This looks like it could be great addition to my collection.
It really is!
Thanks for the amazing review!! I'm getting this for Christmas. 😌
You're more than welcome. I'm glad it helped 🤙
Great review. Thanks for the video mate. I've a question ¿can you desactivate the bluetooth function on the watch? I mean obviously for the battery life, or is just always on?? Greetings from Santiago- Chile.
Yes you can! In fact, I've had it turned on and connected to my phone purely to test for this content and then turned it off. It'll make the battery last a lot longer too. All my best from the UK my friend 👍
Im using it for past 1.5 years..i love this watch
Sir is it waterproof or not?
Good and informative video! Would you recommend the watch for soldiers or should I rather go for another model? Greetings from Germany.
I think this would be great for a soldier. It's a very robust watch. The only downside might be the battery. Most GShocks have a 10 year battery where as this is only 2 years. If you're out on a exercise and it goes that won't be good. Try the GW-M5610U out instead. More features, solar charging and a similar price ruclips.net/video/EgQR036YPW8/видео.htmlsi=rCfJ9G5oAG4XNt1Q
Thanks for the review. Does it track daily steps and does it need charging frequently?
Yes it definitely tracks daily steps. It gives you a graphical read out of your day, week and monthly progress. This model doesn't need charging. It runs off an internal battery that last roughly 2 years. It's not a s long as most GShocks Last (roughly 10 years) however it's definitely better than having to charge it every few days
I tried this and it's good but as of now i already own 3 gshocks - rangeman gw9400, square g5600ue and another square g5600cd darwins finches. I am happy with the 3 i own but yes MIP is excellent but this doesn't have 24 hours count down timer and also has plastic buttons. And i don't really need the fitness features.
I own this Watch its been more then a year.
I can't decide between this one and classic GWM5610U...I have small wrist so I'm affraid that this one might be too big, but this screen looks so good! Also in Norway price is almost the same between these two 😅
I had this for a week, it has been a great watch, i have a small wrist about 17cm/50mm width, and it perfectly sits on my wrist.
The GMD-S5600ba has much smaller dimensions. Only 12mm thick case.
Good indepth review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Very useful review, Just found one for 92€🎉🎉🎉
Nice one! That's a bargain. Would love to hear your thoughts when yours arrives
I am going to buy this watch i love it if it had solar power it would be perfect. One question does it have altitude function?
If they added solar that would be my dream too. It doesn't have altitude function built into the watch itself, however when you connect the app you can use the feature within your phone to track that data. I hope that helps
The new Urban Utility is even more black than this one - a better choice for me.
I have it and I love it! You said it looks 'sick' as kid's say. Actually that's a bit old school - kids nowadays say 'dope' or 'lit'👍🤣
Can't find it anywhere in Canada except the ones with running features only but no other smart phone features. Has it been discontinued???
Not as far as I'm aware. These have been really popular for Casio. Check on Amazon and look at the UK stock. I made some content a while back about Amazon allowing cross national purchases. It's very easy and you can save a lot of money too. Deliveries and returns are the same as buying locally 🤙
Great review.... Well presented well spoken and super hd visuals.... In fact so good I've just ordered 1 £120 Inc delivery 👌👌
Nice one! I'm glad to hear my content helped my friend
@@MoorlanderEDC just 1 small issue I can't seem to put right' the world time is +2 hours wrong and I've tried everything to adjust it.... So even at 8am in the UK and you set London in the world time city is shows 10am. Any idea how to change this. Thanks 👍
Randy what’s the best option for non expensive G-Shock with a heart rate monitor?
What would you recommend?
Any info appreciated.
Hmmmm... The struggle is the heart rate monitor as all of Casio's Gs with HRMs are premium watches for them. I'd say the 5600 anniversary model is the least expensive. The DW-H5600 goes between £200 to £250 here.
@@MoorlanderEDC excellent - thank you for the reply. I just watched your Garmin Tactix 2 (again) so maybe that is another option.
Thank you for replying, I do appreciate it.
Always a pleasure brother
Wish we could have the 12h time and 24h time displayed at the same time. Specifically on the world time screen where it splits. Top half 12h bottom 24h or vice versa. Does anyone know if the watch can do that?
This might sound like a daft question, however, why would you want that? I think most people are either 12h or 24h. If you're 24h and mistake the 12h reading as 06:30am rather than 18:30 you'd potentially read the time wrong. I'm not sure I know of any watches that have the 12h / 24h split like that
@@MoorlanderEDC im a 12hr time person. But throughout my week i run into the 24h time format on either sites or bookings/ appointments. And id like to have the 24h time displayed as a quick reference. I just need to get the 24h clock in my head downloaded lol.
All my G shocks are set to 24hr, absolutely got to be 24hr.
Does the vibrate only work with Bluetooth on? Thanks
Yes I think so
I wish they would do this without the "workout" function as just a standard GShock watch........and I agree if it had Tough Solar it would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you want the solar functions maybe go for the DW-H5600-1CR. It also includes heart rate and the look is more of a cross between this face and the classic G Shock. 👍
I think that would be a nice watch. Keep it simple with the regular modes - stop watch, count down, alarms, world time. No need for Bluetooth... but definitely add tough solar. Keep it clean and simple. I'd 100% buy that watch
That split screen is world time, 2nd time zone.
Yep.... I think I had a wee brain malfunction when I was talking about that part. Probably reason No1856 that I should start scripting my videos 😅
@@MoorlanderEDC it's a cool watch. I had this version but recently sold it because I got a Garmin instinct 2 solar. Maybe I'll pick it up again, the UU model though (with green accents). Also I have a PRW-35Y-b I'm not sure if I will keep or sell.
Is there any setting in the app to keep notifications for only certain apps?
I don't use the app however as far as I remember when I tested it yes. However it's more to do with message services like text or email. App notifications are clumped as 'App notidicatiins' as a whole. They may have updated it those since I played with it. I hope that helps
if I go running, I have to carry my phone in orden to see my pace and km?? Or with just the Casio I can see that information while I'm running??
You can record pace, cadence, distance are all recorded without the phone. The accuracy with out the phone is surprisingly good. I can do a 10k I do regular and know the distance and it'll be 300 to 500m out. If you're an uber athlete it's not exact, however for a regular like me it's fine. With the phone and app it's a lot better
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you very much!!!
Can the data collected with this g shock be transferred to apples fitness app?
Awesome watch.. wears it most of the time..beautiful presentation.. just one question.. my Auto LT function gets disabled automatically after few hours.. can i turn it on/off permanently? And also how to set hourly signal?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... not sure on the auto light. The hourly time signal is set in the alarm section. If you cycle through the 5 alarms there'll be an option there
Do you know if you can change the date format?
Annoyingly no. Its in the US format and not the rest of the world format. Very annoying as Casio have made this on so many other watches. It should be standard
It ALWAYS gets me to double take, so unfortunately it loses its purpose there a bit as a simple easy read you know!@@MoorlanderEDC
"how shocking it would do that!" hahahahaha my man! Also just ordered the all red version to match my little girls soccer team colors.
Now that's a strange coincidence (but not intentionally). My daughter plays football and her team plays in black
I can’t find this watch online. I search for GBD-200 and a different watch pops up. How much does this watch cost in $?
hi, this is the model here on Amazon. They're currently $142 however I'm pressure you can get them cheaper than that over there - amzn.to/3T2Xtaw
Does the watch count steps while cycling or driving?
Strictly speaking, no. I haven't tried cycling however I can sometimes drive to work and find I have an additional 50 foot steps added. No different to many other foot step tracking watches. Hope that helps
Only adulta use the 24hr setting?;😅
Can the date be set to UK format...DDMM?
Nope, unfortunately not. It's the MMDD format. I've never understood it it as I'm pretty sure the Japanese use the DDMM format
Hi does this wath have a gps, i am looking at this one or the Seconda Alpoine GPS watch and suggestions please
No the watch itself doesn't have GPS. I'd you run with your phone it uses the phones GPS to track your runs. I run with my Garmin Instinct Solar 2x and it's amazing. I've made some content on that if it helps
hi its not for running it is to track when i go on walks then download to strava@@MoorlanderEDC
between gbx-100 and gbd-200, which do you prefer? And why? Cheers from Brasil.
Ooooooooh... great question. Hmmmm... I'd probably say the GBD-200 and it's mainly down to how it looks. The GBX-100 has more features and I also like the metal bezel it has around the face, however I think the GBD-200 has more of a GShock Square look and feel to it. They're both very similar watched. Do you have a preferred model? Hope you're all Andre and had a great weekend
@@MoorlanderEDCI would choose the gbd-200 for estetic. I have a gba-900, a anadigi steptracker with identical functions.
gbx 100 мой выбор. Сначала я купил gbd 200 ав потом поменял их на 100 @@andregofferje2639
I got the gbx-100 too.
The nicest looking Square for me. Modernized and simplified that makes it an even better option for your everyday wear. However, the buttons are pure trash. Casios half this price with larger buttons like this responds better. Makes me wonder if the value is in the MIP display and cut cost on build quality.
Hi buddy, hope you're well. Yes, I'm think you're probably right. I think with the other colours this might have been designed to be more of a youth marketed wrist watch... or that ultra athlete where the extra 5grams on their wrist will put them off balance 😆 They've started to make more MIP display watches and the price is a wee bit more inflated. I think the struggle may be the battery life on the MIP watches. With it only being a few years Casio are trying to include other features like smart watches, plus the ability to recharge them. Personally I'd be happy with a traditional Square, with a MIP display, better buttons, and not gimmicks like bluetooth or phone connectivity. A nice simple dumb wrist watch that works and is indestructible. Hopefully the more they make and manufacturing processes get ironed out, the price of the MIP displays will come down with price
I own this watch, black is the best
Agreed
Without the phone its just a timer right? You bring the phone swimming? I don't understand how this is a good pool watch?
Yes, kinda, but there's a few more piece of tech in there too. It'll count steps, cadence, activity with a accelerometer in there too. I've tested this against a GPS watch and it's reasonably accurate is you're a dad-bod runner like me. I've compared to the same GPR data on some runs and it can be anything between 100m to 500m out when it guesses the distance (you have to put in your height, weight, sex and age). It's not good for a professional runner however Ok for most people. Same with swimming. It'll count f your stroke, lengths etc and probably guess your distance from your biometric data. It's definitely not a Garmin Forerunner watch. It's missing a lot of their features however it's also half the price
Hope that helps. All my best buddy 👍
My major issue is the 4 buttons. First, for both G-Shocks I have, one needs to engage one’s finger nail. Then, at times you really need to push very hard to get a button press. These buttons look different, but can you completely use the flesh of your fingertip? Do you have to press them very hard to get the press?
Hi, I'd say these are some of the easiest buttons to use. They're a million times easier than the tiny metal buttons you get on the other Square models. They're almost a gift from the Old Gods
@@MoorlanderEDC good to know, thanks
Will it record my badminton activities??
You can hit start to track any activity. It's track your steps and activity
Casio needs to put a solar panel on this model and I would throw money at them.
Nothing against your purchase of your MudMan Randy, but it should’ve been a MIP screen.
I have to agree. All new watches need to have the MIP display. It's the future
@@MoorlanderEDCyeah it was disappointing.
Respect for the Suunto and also the DNC Tramontane cameo in this one.
My guess was possible the second compass display that sits over the normal display. Not sure if would have been legible over the MIP. Hopefully they tried it and found it didn't work ... and they weren't just lazy and just pumped out a copy of another watch in a different shell. Maybe we're just getting cynical in our old age 😆
The Suunto is one of my fav watches. I had to sell when y kids were young to pay the bills. Really happy to get one again to make some content on
ps. DNC is God tier 💪
Oh, and I returned the Mudman... and used the refund to buy this watch, the Suunto and another 😆
@@MoorlanderEDCsorry, I’ve just seen this now. Great choices good Sir 🫡
Being an A-Dult he keeps his time set, at 24 hr. mode, and he’s also voting for Loki…
Yessir. I remember when I was young my dad told me that there's a time when a boy starts to get hairs in areas he hasn't had before, and he gets new emotions and urges... One of those urges is to naturally switch from 12h format to 24h format. The Loki shirt was a whimsical dress choice for the day 🤣
I thought this watch does not have hourly time signal??
Now you have me worried it doesn't 😆 I'll triple check when I get home. I've had a Google around and there seems to be varying answers. Apologises if I've got that wrong. I'll definitely triple check after work today 🤘
I've checked and I can't find the option to turn on or off the hourly time signal. Definitely weird as I'm sure I remember hearing the signal when wearing it. I think it might be that Mandela affect tricking my brain
@@MoorlanderEDC i don't believe it has one. That was one of the things that killed it for me.
Sir this watch os waterprrof or not
Yes my friend. It's waterproof to 200 meters 👍
@@MoorlanderEDC sir but in manual it's written that keep away your watch while washing your hands and protect it from splashing water........it is waterproof so why it is saying like that
How about bluetooth connectivity? Does the watch smoothly establish a connection after moving away from the smartphone?
Yes, I tested a few times whilst running. I don't use it all of the time though to conserve battery. Most of the time I've finished a run, got back to my car and stretched it's uploaded to the phone app and ready to look at
Is it suitable for women..?
Yes definitely. As far as GShocks go it's on the smaller side and will suit a female wrist. It's still not a small watch though. I'd definitely recommend trying one on If you get chance to try one on in a retail store
We need solar/mip/smaller g-shock watches....
Solar MIP is the future for sure 👍
is there a setting that allows an alarm to only vibrate, without an alarm sound? I want to wake up silently because of my wife.
Yes you can set the watch that it only vibrate
If only it were solar. As it stands, the battery life is nowhere near compelling enough to pull the trigger.
Adding solar would be the icing on a cake for this watch. I hope they manage to add it in the future
And this Clock cost about 200 dollar or Pound in Norway in the year 2023 :) That is not Cheap!
Seriously? I've learned recently that buying from other countries is a lot easier and less complicated as I thought. This watch is sold at about £100 here in the UK. I'd highly recommend searching for a UK site that will post to the Norway. Even if it costs £20 to post, you're still saving quite a bit there
Step track sucks. Not accurate. Good to play it for a 1st timer. But it will drain u a lot on battery.
If only this has solar charging.
Too much glare mate. Can't see what you're doing.!
Yeah. I think I'll take a tarp out with me next time and angle it above me. That way it'll cut out the sky and tree line... Luckily the MIP display helps 😆
2 year battery life? For casio??
Yessir. The MIP display eats up battery like there's no tomorrow. They really need to add tough Solar
Takes 5min to change the battery every 2yrs, no issue 😊
@@philliprobertlawman2232who has that kind of time? Lol
