I'm buying this watch, simply based off of this video, and your patience in the comment section. You sir have restored my faith in humanity. Happy holidays from Hawaii🤙
Haha that's awesome, thanks for that :)
Was I being very patient in here? This video is quite old now so I can't recall much of the conversations...!
*_Perth Watch does do a splendid job engaging with his viewers in the comment section. We as viewers do appreciate that. He's answered a few of my queries concerning this model. My man!!!_*
After looking close. TY 4 demo. Its Jake's watch in. No pun intended. The movie End Of Watch (2012)
You’ll love this watch!
great choice, ive had mine years and used it for Tech diving, its been to 120 meters.
This was my first G - shock five years ago. It still works beautiful. No battery change.
Amazing!
@@PerthWAtch 👍
Hey mate, I just bought one (5 years late) my moon section is empty, do I need to set it up via longitude or do o have a faulty device?
Probably just check instructions
Just bought mine today the same colour
Frankly speaking i bought this model about a year ago but only today i realised the full functions after watching your video!
Haha glad to hear that you found this video helpful! :)
I've had this watch for 4 years, in white, still wear it to this day, very good watch, very resistant
That’s awesome man, great use out of it!
How is the battery life for 4 years?
Hi! I got this G today.. I changed from g-9100 gulfman.
The 7900 is really comfortable, readable, soft buttons, great illuminator function.
Best buy for G shockers who wants a durable watch for everyday.
Dimensions: (housing) 54x50 mm
Thanks for sharing!
Grabbing this model up on special, very pleased with the features. good to have a hard wearing and reliable digital watch model at my fingertips that's definitely geared to my hobbies or aspiration hobbies
That’s awesome man - enjoy it in good health!
You gave us a great walkthrough on this watch thank you so much you're totally awesome❤
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it :)
Got the exact same one, today from a jewelry store i am not complaining this watch is awesome. thanks for the video.
Most welcome - the fact that they’re still making it says volumes about its enduring popularity
@@PerthWAtch yeah the shop was loaded with people buying watches i got there in the nick of time 😅
Clear explanation. I'm waiting this watch to arrive. Thanks for make me more excited bout this thing.
Thanks for that - I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Glad you found this helpful :)
Just got mine, you’ll love it. To set up the lunitidal interval, which is the time after your longitude settings just take the meridian time the moon passed over your local area and the time of the high tide that followed the lunar meridian. The time between the one and the other is the time you put on the screen. So if the moon passed over at midnight and the next high tide was 4am then 4:00 goes on the screen. You can find the meridian and high tide for your local easily on google.
I just grabbed this on sale for $80 locally. I have a bunch of analog watches including a few autos. Funny how my least expensive watch will likely become my favourite. If you wanted to own only 1, this could be it. I have skinny wrists too and due to the little flaps under the case it fits perfectly.
Great price! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! :)
Just picked up this watch for Christmas 2021! Love it! Perfect for surfing and I can now stay in the water longer before work. My iwatch can’t do this 😂
Haha nice one!!
Yes I bought this model in 2018...its still serving me well......
It’s good one. Some have commented it’s served them near 10 years
@@PerthWAtch Yup.... It can last a lifetime.. For sure....
@@PerthWAtch What do you think of G steel..??
Good but prone to scratching, which is why I don’t own one
IMO this is the best looking G-Shock.
I think you’re the only person who has said that here…
I tend to agree. I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 44mm as my daily driver....but my adult son just gave me a Casio G-7900 that he no longer wanted and I replaced the battery yesterday, and....I was surprised at how "smart" this Casio watch was before "smartwatches" became a thing! I will certainly keep and maintain this Casio watch as a backup, but what a good looking and utilitarian watch it is!
Yeah you probably just haven’t seen much of the full range of G-Shock
This is, by far, the toughest and most durable watch I’ve ever owned.
Haha nice - what did you do to it?
@@PerthWAtch To make a long story short - a couple of years ago I worked with a multi-state traveling carnival (amusement park-style rides, games, and entertainment). This grueling environment involves equipment setup and teardown in ALL types of weather - in a vast range of temperature extremes. The watch was battered, bashed and submerged MULTIPLE TIMES - with NO adverse effects.
That is awesome!!
Nice video. Just bought this watch 29% off on Amazon. I'm a sucker for multiple 1000 hr stopwatches, sweet.
Haha we all need one more 1000 hr stopwatch!
Good day, I really enjoyed your video.. I have my 7900 about 6-7 years and still going strong will be replacing the strap soon. Keep up the nice work.
Thank you Graham, I appreciate the positive feedback :)
The battery last 2 years as it said or more?
@@st3fonline899 yes about 2-3 years.
@@st3fonline899 more than that bro the Casio is just said 2yrs only but the watch it still strong after 6 to 7 yrs ago
My cousin just changed its battery for the first time.. After almost 7 years I guess... Or 10?
Just received mine in the post. Went for the blue model with yellow buttons and I’m very happy with it . Nice to see a local making such great videos . Subscribed 👍
Hey thanks for that man... always great to hear from a fellow local! You based in Perth also?
Perth WAtch Youre welcome! Yep certainly am. I'm a fellow watch enthusiast. You ever visit that Rolex/Omega shop in London Court in the city? Have to leave my visa card at home when I go past there haha
Haha never even realised there's such a shop there... have you seen the new boutiques at Crown? Omega, Rolex, IWC and others... it's a cause for salivation :)
I’ve had this watch since July of 2019 and I wear it a lot it’s got a lot of features and I’m quite happy with all my gshock I own four now!
That’s awesome Brian - Casio rocks!! :)
I was given one yesterday from a friend. I metal detect so the tide graph will be handy.
Cool to hear that! Hope it works accurately for you!
I have this watch and love it
It's a good one isn't it?
best watch ever.
Not really
Muy bueno tengo hace años uno. Matanza Cuba
What?
My light is green (or dark green) but mine watch-color is the same as yours ??
Pretty sure this light is also green, it just looks different because of colour balance I was using on camera.
Night light is very good. I love CASIO digital watches.
Glad you enjoy them!
i have been looking for this watch for a few months in germany. . . . I can't find him. . they say this model is no longer produced. . ? ? ? what are the dimensions in centimeters
For dimensions, please watch the video.
For where to buy, please check out the links provided ;)
I’ve had mine. Since I was 10 in 2011. The battery hasn’t died. And it took me this long to find out how to work it and shut off the damn 6 am alarm
Hahaha I guess the alarm wasn't too bothersome for you! :)
I'm expecting mines today .. is yours still holding up ?
I own the DW5600E, GBA-800 and this one. G7900 😍 my favourite is the DW5600 but this one is top tier also no lie
“Top tier”?
It is remarkable!
Don't tides vary by regions, even within the same state? I'm not an expert or anything so the reason I'm asking is this: I set my watch in FL. then I'm in Virginia Beach the next day; same time zone. Does this matter? Do you have to select anything different on the watch when you travel other than the time?
I think you may be right about that - I thought the watch has a latitude setting to account for this, or something like that?
Yes, based on my reading of the G-7900 manual and the setup of that model I did yesterday....I think the tide indicator is TOTALLY keyed on the longitude that you manually indicate on initial time setup on the G-7900.
I got same model of g shock may be 4 years ago but it had green light. And whats the use of moon and tide function and whats tide function. How did yyou have that flash test on the left side of day text .
All good questions but difficult to answer in text - maybe watch the video again and/or download the official user manual for more details?
i like the g-shock g recue 7900
Ok!
It would be interesting to see how accurate the tide prediction is, as I have a dual sensor Casio , compass and temperature, the temperature side is a mile out , infact my guess of any temperature is likely to be accurate than the watch , shame really , if it’s not very accurate I’d rather not have it ...thanks Shane uk 🇬🇧
Yeah, I don't know much about tides but I reckon you could find some good info on the Casio section of WUS forums. As for temperature the problem is that if it's on wrist then your body temp is influencing it... I find the temp reading accurate when off wrist (not that useful for a watch!) or if worn outside a jacket layer etc.
Do You Or Anyone Know if this Model has a Pow
er Save //=> SLEEP Mode Like the GW7900 ?
THANKS IN ADVANCE :-)
Hi there, I no longer have this watch with me but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a power save mode - that is usually only found in solar powered watches. Cheers, Ivan.
THANK YOU IVAN :-)
No worries, most welcome. All the best!
I wish they made those band "shoulders" for other models, like the Rangeman, for us smaller wrist folk to have a more comfortable fit
Indeed!
Those "shoulders" totally get in the way of replacing the battery...however, they definitely make the watch fit better on your wrist. :)
Hi there..can anyone tell me what graft at the right side of the tide graft for ? Thank you..
Of course - please see video for details on this :)
@@PerthWAtch I watched it full, did I miss that part ?
Yeah I think you did
I don’t see the part of the video that talks about this either and it’s tearing me apart!!
You need to pay attention when watching ;)
this is a good watch. sits so very comfy on the wrist, not a heavy piece just right. the moon and tide function is a joy. ifb8 could improve it i would turn the stop watch display (right of tide display) to fishing gear display and make it tough solar. for the price second hand boxed in good condition on eBay this watch is unbeatable for the rugged human. a temp display also maybe where the stopwatch display is and fishing gear function above the tide display where the day display is
What is fishing gear display? Never heard of such a thing!
If you add all those functions then it wouldn’t be the same watch anymore and would cost maybe $200 more!
@@PerthWAtch Casio Fishing Gear watch. The Fish display would fit perfectly where the current day display is. It would obviously Retail for more but as it already has moon function and esp tide display it should be no brainer for casio?? Check out the casio fishing gear watch, great piece, you'll be astonished at the price. And the fishing works works really well. Always a great time to go fishing but it tell ls you when is best date and time to 'catch' fish.
@@PerthWAtch same for my gw7900b, it should have the fishing display. love that watch even more than the g7900 as it is also wave ceptor and tough solar along with moon/tide. And not much more expensive. the gw7900b is the watch I would recommended to the new buyer who are into moonphase
i have this gshock, so elegant
Thanks for sharing that - glad you enjoy it :)
*_Does the time display in Stopwatch 2? I see it doesn’t in Stopwatch Mode 1._*
*_I have the GW-7900 & the time isn’t displayed in Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer. 😡_*
*_To answer my own question, once the Stopwatch commences, the time display on the bottom disappears and I think the hour timer supplants it. I seen that in another review of this model. But in the Countdown Timer Mode, the time abides._*
Thanks for clarifying that - helpful to know! :)
I dunno but it also have a auto light ON when u rise ur hand to watch it, all u nid to do is hold the reset button till, a sign came off at the A. EL, hope u get it,
Thank you for your explanation! (I think...)
Ok i just got my watch and noticed that earlier as well ill look more into it.... because now its not doing it and i have not touched it after noticing
The auto light on this watch shuts itself off after a bit and needs to be turned back on by holding the top right button which I believe is the B Button
i have this specific model but my niece destroy the arm band, i want to know if the module of this watch could fit to GW-7900CD-9 ( the yellow one ) because they have different screws
Good question - I don't have a GW-7900 but the pictures suggest that the resin bezel should fit... note that the facing screws are decorative and don't actually secure anything. Another option is just to get replacement bands which should be easy. Cheers, Ivan.
flying. jat
why i mine doesn't have the flash word beside the day of the week
Dunno, check manual?
Beautiful Beast!
Haha
Does it have a vibrate alarm? And can you turn off the beep everyone you switch through modes?
No. And yes.
Hi. Does this watch come with power saving mode? Mine shows PS or does that mean mine is fake?
Yes I believe it does - to be sure, search up the manual on Casio website
nice watch review dude . I have 3 of them : black , army green and blue colors . Love them very much
Thanks man - I like the red one too :)
Could you please help how to get AEL enabled on this model? I’m still figuring out the same
I would take a look at the instructions
Setting it starts at 2:50
Not one mention on changing from 24 to 12 hour and vice versa.
Who?
Hello.what do you think of this watch on are 8 inch wrist? is this watch suitable?
I think it will be fine - if anything it’s too large for me
Lovely watch
Thanks :)
*_Finally acquired one of these..... I have the A-4 variant though- the red one._*
Love your profile pic :)
*_My man‼️ You’re the first to comment on it. I’ve had it for about a month now. I have the GW-7900 as well. I ❤️ that it’s Solar/Atomic- my favorite type of Casio. But the GW-7900 has less features than its ‘lil brother, the G-7900._*
*_For instance, on the Home Time screen, you can press D/Forward & toggle civilian & military time; the Flash Alerts w/ hourly chimes, in Countdown Timer Mode, Alarm Mode, & in the Auto Start selection of Stop Watch Mode of SW1; I don’t know of any other G-Shock wherein the alarms are 20 seconds, along with the flashes when they’re selected. Moreover the Alarms are Day/Date alarms; Auto Repeat in Countdown Timer Mode._*
*_I’m assured that I forgot to mention something else but I’ll cease there. The only feature that it’s missing is the Solar/Wave Ceptor function. But I got its big brother for that. I even bought a white one pre-owned but I may have to return it. It’s absent of all tone sounds. The main issue however is the condensation it’s affected by when it’s wet from H2O intrusion. I opened it & the gasket has broken inside the case. Also the bezel about the case is separating from the case in the rear. I hate when that happens._*
*_Your review in part, compelled me to covet the G-7900. I issue you my most sarcastic thanks. 😏_*
I bought it yesterday Cheers Mate!
Cool - hope you enjoy it :)
Perth WAtch Yes, I'm really liking it. Your review was of immense help. 👍 Thanks! :)
Hey mate, I just got one of these for Christmas, and have entered the longitude and interval, but when I press mode it goes to tide and doesn't show moon, is that normal?
Cool, it’s a great G-shock! I don’t have the watch anymore but I think the tide/moon mode shows either tide or moon at one time and you may have to switch between them, or something like that. I might be wrong - would suggest consulting the user guide which explained it quite clearly.
@@PerthWAtch thanks mate will take a further look tomorrow, I have seen some videos that just show tide also. Thanks for replying tonight as well. Merry Christmas.
Guys does anyone know how I set up moon phase? Is its to do with longitude etc?
Probably just check instructions
Yes, totally has to do with longitude -- I found this out when replacing the battery on the G-7900 watch yesterday that my son "handed down" to me. During initial time setup, you should have the option to set up the longitude, and (I believe) this is how/where your watch figures the high/low tides for your general area. I live in the D.C. area, so I assume it's providing high/low tide info for the Potomac River....your mileage may vary. :)
I doubt it’s specific to the Potomac - there’s lots of other places at the same places at the same longitude
Is this a solar watch? Do you still have to replace battery on solar watch?
This one is not solar
One of my g shock grail. Damn! I still dont have it even I already own few Gs.
Surely just a mouse click away :)
how can show all the line on the right at the top of the mode( stopwatch),please^^
Hi there, sorry I don't really understand your question...
Hey what is that graph next to the tide indicator?? That rectangular box
Good question - what did I say in the video??
hey friend, I have a Casio with moon phase and tide graph, not g-shock. but I think the functions are similar to your g-shock. is it normal that the tide data isn't accurate? the moon phase seems OK
What module watch do you have? Accurate moon and tide depends on inputting accurate coordinates and local time, assuming the watch calendar is not out of date. For most models there is also a way to manual correct the displayed time or moon phase based on real local data where you are.
Perth WAtch does that g-shock allow you to input coordinates? my Casio allows input of home city, among other basic stuff. No coordinates
Yes, unless your city is one of the presets, you should input the longitude and the lunitidal interval manually. FYI for any Casio models, you can download the user manuals anytime and find out this information.
I wear this beauty much more than my gwg-2k
Why?
@@PerthWAtch
Why not?
Because
Great review
Thanks for positive feedback as for watching! :)
I have one question, I wanna buy this watch, but Im 12 year old boy. Should this be ok size for me?
Depends on your wrist size buddy… “12 years old” doesn’t tell me much, you could already be same height as me, or you could be much smaller.
@@PerthWAtch Sorry I forgot to tell more, my wrist is between 40 and 42 mm so I hope it helps.
Wrist circumference is the most important measurement here, not whatever it is you quoted!
Nice video dude, very helpful :) only part i have a little problem with is the size since I usually wear small casio digitals. Do you think this will look big/oversized on a 7 inch wrist?
Thanks for that bro... well mine is 6 3/4 inch wrist, so slightly smaller but I think G-Shock resin cases somehow get away with the size where steel wouldn't. I even like wearing the huge 58mm Mudmaster :)
Perth WAtch i just ordered it, thanks for the comment ;)
All the best - hope you enjoy it :)
Perth WAtch interest to buy the red one but i have 6inch wrist so it makes me worried to buy it. Still looking for wrist size comparison 🥺
It’ll probably be quite large on a 6 inch wrist... not to mention you would probably have to pay more than $500 for a genuine red Rangeman!
I'm looking to get one of these and I was wondering if you know if this model would fit an 8 inch wrist
Yes it would
@@PerthWAtch thank you very much
No worries mate
I bought it yesterday
greeting from indonesia..
Awesome - hope you enjoy it!
How to mute the watch pls? I see the 'mute' on the screen but i can't mute it can u help me
Easiest just to look up the module number (on back of watch) and download manual, it's available for free from Casio :)
Nguyễn Thành Trung hold down the mode button for 3 sec
A video that actually explains it
That’s amazing!
Hi, I’ve just bought this watch on ebay second hand. I noticed the band wobbles side to side where it joins the case. I’ve never experienced this with any other G shock. Is this normal for this model? Thank you
Most band wobble a little... all depends on tolerances how much they wobble.
I just tested it on mine. When it is very silent in the room or when I bring it to my ear I hear faintly the light sound. I tried on other watches with strong night light and same happened
Which model number has the blue EL backlight?
Dunno man
My watch has pixels missing, the moon flashes and the light isnt working
Maybe it’s a knockoff??
@@PerthWAtch maybe
But I did get it second hand so
:/
When I activate the light I can hear a slight humming coming from the watch. Does this happen to anyone else?
Not to me...
Oohh yes..mine sounds the same way
Someone else explained that that’s electronic circuitry noise, but that it shouldn’t normally be audible in a G-shock
*_You forgot to mention that the Stopwatch Mode has a 5 sec. countdown timer if selected. Counting backwards from five, it reaches zero & then the Stopwatch commences. I believe there's a way to set it like that._*
Does it? Can't confirm anymore as I no longer have the watch...
Perth WAtch 👍🏾
*_This is only optional in SW 1._*
If anyone has this, are the buttons metal? And does it feel high quality and heavy?
Buttons are plastic
Perth WAtch, thanks.
Plastic and relatively lightweight - but very tough.
One question:how can i change it to digital???
No need, it is already digital :)
What is flash column on top right side function? Did anyone know?
That's the flash alert indicator - when this is on the whole display will flash when alarms sound. This can be turned off by holding down the bottom right button for 3 seconds when in timekeeping mode.
@@PerthWAtch thanks for your info
*_When selected, the Flash function also works in Countdown Timer Mode, flashing once every second for the last 10 seconds of the Timer, with accompanying beeps. It finally flashes twice when the Timer reaches zero. I can't recall if the display flashes at the 5 minute mark if the Countdown Timer has been set over 5 mins. The Flash also illuminates at the beginning of every hour, when selected. Lastly, the Flash is operational in Stop Watch 1 Mode, when you elect to run the 5 second Countdown Timer before the chronograph in Stop Watch Mode commences. This is indeed a nice piece!!!_*
just got it today
You like?
@@PerthWAtch its nice
Mine has green EL light, how come you have a blue one?
Hi there - I'm not sure, I think there may be some variation in the EL panel they use, sometimes it's described as blue-green.
I have this model and my light is green also
Nice GSHOCK ❤
Yes it is ❤️
How i input istanbul int. ?
The instruction manual will reveal the answers to these questions and much more :)
Great review! Your video helped me a lot in setting mine. Thank you so much. 👍👍
I got it last week. Just one question though; How to know the production year? 🤔
Thanks - glad it was helpful.
You may be able to find out the production year using the serial number of the watch.
How can I change it to a military time. We have the same model
I think go into settings mode and there should be an option to chance to 24 hour time display... if in doubt just google the module number and you can get the PDF manual download.
When its pm just in the red button once and that will give u 24h time
I don’t think it does that
Hi, I pressed the G under shock resist and the watch stopped working. Please can anyone help with a solution.
Sorry to hear that Jemila... that's the button to turn on the EL back light, and should not have caused the watch to stop working. It may be that your watch ran out of battery just at that time?
Perth WAtch Thank you for your help
No worries - most welcome!
What year was this model manufactured?
Is thailand made original?
Not sure what year. Yep many Casio are made in Thailand these days.
Does it have solar energy?
Nope
Why my luminous light is green?
Dunno
Sir can avail in Pakistan? And how much?
Dunno. I would use Google to find out.
For the world clock mode how do i put pm or am
Go into settings
@@PerthWAtch can you swim with this watch
Yes
@@PerthWAtch last question how long
Very very long
AM PM adjustment please
I would look up the manual which can be downloaded for free ;)
How much the original price convert to RM(Ringgit Malaysia)
Good question - please let me know when you find out after using Google ;)
Its RM339
Thanks for helping out Danny :)
@@PerthWAtch no problemo :)
Man, come on, use the internet for these basic questions.
i was given this watch like 5 years ago and never used it. i wanna sign up for a gym and replace the battery by a professional and use this damn watch
just sayin
Yeah man you should use it - it’s a great watch
If your G-9700 got PS (power saving) that means your have a fake G-7900.. Its also dint have a tiny sound like mosquito when you press G button..
Thank you for sharing your opinion. How do you explain that official manual downloaded from Casio website explains PS function?
Is this still worth it in 2020?
Take a look and decide for yourself - I think for under $100 it remains a fantastic G-shock!
Definitely. Cheap and already have a moon phase and tide indicator. I'll get this or the GD-350-1B.
I think this watch is for surfers and people going out in the sea. An average person don't need those functions and pretty much useless for us cause I'm not a sea person or surfer. Those feature stopped me to buy this particular model...
Maybe also people who go fishing regularly? (But not necessarily out at sea)
Hi sir neega tamil solluga pls sport watch la codeing parkkanum pls sir
What?
@@PerthWAtch LOL!!!
Can you swim with it?

What is this moon and tide plz replay
The moon is the largest natural satellite orbiting the earth. Tide refers to the fluctuation in sea level with gravitational influences.
