5610U IS A LEGEND GDB200 awesome too..both best square budgets in there own right... Just waiting for casio to just plop a MiP SCREEN in a 5610u ... That will be the ultimate budget legible square !!! FACT great review...
That's exactly what I've been hoping for. I have a 5610u as well, and a all black GBX100 instead of a GBD200. Imagine the 5610u with it's tough solar and all the same features and add the MIP display to it. That would be awesome. I neve really cared about all the rubbish smartwatch wanna be features of my GBX100, I never really use it. I just bought it for the MIP display and the design.
Same here; I have 5610 and I want to buy the other one but missing solar is the only thing thats keeping me away! I don't need the connectivity crap.just time sync if any would suffice!
Got these two watches. I prefer the GBD200. Screen is more legible, digits are bigger, got Bluetooth so no need to worry about not having MB6 signal, setting up alarms are super simple via smart phone. Haven't wore my 5610U after getting GBD200.
@@simplewatchtalks Definitely. I wish they would actually update the firmware of GBD200 and give us better countdown timer and stop watch. But instead of doing that they will release a new watch with improved feature instead. Casio would never give us the perfect watch.
I bought the gbd200 (my first g-shock) 3 weeks ago to replace my smartwatch beater and i love it so much i ordered the Bluetooth Casioak as well to add to my collection
Haha I didn’t mean that I have 10 gshocks, I meant that you will have 10 in 6 months. An exaggeration, but that’s usually how it works, gshocks are very addective and fun to collect.
I'm also a fan of 5610 (and most of the original squares). There is a big difference between those 2: - 5610 was design with functionality in mind - and does it best. - GBD 200 was design with market trends and "more cash" mentality I would also like to try a MIP screen, which is indeed a nice tech advance, BUT ... I hate the font Casio used and also that fitness stuff that I don't need. Hope Casio will release a solar GBD with "old school LCD 7 segment" font, no BT and other fitness crap. In the meantime... no MIP Casio for me. LE: I see that Casio's trend is to enter the "fit" gang with their multi functions GShocks. They should leave the Gshock line as it is ... and maybe create a new sub-brand G-Fit?
Beside the MIP on the 200, i think that since i got a smart watch already, if i would go with one model it would be a watch not some hybrid, i've been looking at the 200 for the past few month, but never pull the trigger on the purchase button and i'm still not convince about all the feature available on the 200 .
I have an all black GBX-100 which is a slight upgrade of the GBD-200 having a steel bezel. I just think of it as a regular digital watch with a cool modern design and beautiful MIP display. I just completely ignore all the rubbish smartwatch wannabe features of it.
@@truman3.0 You can do that on the watch directly, by long pressing the A button (top left corner). I have another video in the channel that explains in detail how to setup the watch, feel free to check it out.

MIP on a 5610U is game over! Thanks for tuning in!

I've the same model watches. The MIP on the GBD 200 is amazing, Strap feels super comfy too!
I agree, that GBD200 strap is amazing!

Yeah that’s the thing about this hobby, you think you found the perfect watch until they release a better one…

@@yrch21 if they did, it would remove any need for us to keep buying more! 😉
I daily a casio royale but i use the gdb200 solely for my runs! I love the strap as it still provide a strong grip on my wrist despite all the sweat
I agree, great and comfy watch for running and workouts in general.

… 6 months later, 10 gshocks in the collection!
@@simplewatchtalks nice dude, im also eyeing a few more... Looking to add a mudman to the collection, just looking for the right one

@@simplewatchtalks i gotchu, but nah 1 more then im moving on, I'm still trying to get my hands on a couple Seikos and Orients😂😂
my first g-shock has been a beautiful all black GBX100
I am planning on getting one of these very soon...
That's my very first G-Shock as well. The GBX-100NS-1. Now I have 5 G-Shock squares 😅
Great video. Waiting for your channel to hit 1k subscribers
You and me both!
The 200 has a thermometer built in if you know where to look! 😉
I just saw the battery temperature thing, interesting..

I relate to that!

It's definitely not a watch to purchase for its smart features, I am totally with you on that!

Vibration is for me very important
💯
Can the Bluetooth functionality be switched off on the watch so no Bluetooth is emitted, or is it always sending a signal etc?
It’s possible by enabling airplane mode in the settings.
@@simplewatchtalks settings on the watch or on phone?

No Tough Solar, no Deal.
Fair enough
