    Nice watch. I really like its futuristic look. I plan to get one someday. Thanks for the review.

    Once you had a MIP you really don't want to go back to simple negative displays. This with MIP would be a banger. Don't understand why Casio doesn't make these more standard.

      I disagree personally. Why doesn't a single MIP display have hourly charm? Weird. Why do I have to depress the buttons to get the action on the display, as opposed to regular displays. As soon as you press the button the display responds. Both petty gripes I'd admit, but I'm crazy. No hourly charm (aka SIG) is a deal breaker for me. But I love how those MIP displays look, it is really a shame.

    I have the GDB500S-8. I was honestly surprised how small it is compared to other G-Shock offerings. I honestly thought that it was a Baby G at first.

    I was waiting for some slim G-Shock, I just wish it had a MIP display because it is visible at every angle...

    Would you consider this fit for a 75yo mum who walks a lot with her not so dishwasproof garmin wristband. Or would it be too large

    Interesting, so it is a cheaper successor/alternative to the GBD-200 (thank you for comparing it). Imho: GBD 500 isn´t aswesome at all. Reason: Display. This model could have used the MIP display. Side by side the GBD 200 is absolutely superior.

    • @wristaction

      The GBD200 is indeed the better watch. The GDB500 may suit those looking for a smaller form watch with step tracking plus at a lower cost.

    In what markets is the non inverted display gdb200 available in?

    • @wristaction
      @wristaction  4 месяца назад +1

      GBD 200 has a Memory In Pixel (MIP) display which is only in a negative format currently.

    • @yelyl136
      @yelyl136 3 месяца назад

      Yup, the MIP display is only available in the negative display. But that negative MIP display is actually much better than a normal positive display. My GBX-100 is much more legible than any of my positive display G-Shock squares, in any lighting condition.

    the gbd200 has a mode where you can set 2 time zones on a single screen. Does this have that mode as well?

    To white g shock owners out there, does it yellow over time? Is it easy to clean also? 😊

    • @wristaction
      @wristaction  2 месяца назад +1

      I can't comment about the GDB500 as I have only had it for a few weeks. However my gwx5600c shows no signs of yellowing after 5 years, but that watch has a glossy white finish which is probably preventing that.

    If there was one with normal display, or a dot non inverted one. These have poor readability except for the green one.
