True. I bought one with all the features and sensors last month. Until today I am browsing for another model although I know my Rangeman is more than enough for my needs. 😂
I'm forcing myself to only have one watch. I had a CA-53W which was my daily until I broke it taking it apart 😅 now I have a Seiko 5, I'm not getting another watch until this one craps out on me. When that happens my next watch depends on my financial situation. If I'm successful (for the first time ever) that'll be a Marathon GSAR 36mm, dream watch. If I'm still broke it'll either be whatever G-Shock I can afford or an F-91W. That being said my Seiko survived my last job and several moshpits so I'm fairly confident it'll be around for a while.
And that’s a holy truth. Dang. I bought my first one a couple of years ago. And now I’ve got … too many. Yet The ones I bought after the first one were all Used. Some as new, others beat up badly, but came back to the original spark after a change of bezel And strap. And that’s the beauty of the Gs!
I as a Sikh wear a Turban and I have many many colours. I've only been getting into watches this year. I eventually want to have a watch to match each one of my turbans and I can do this all with G Shocks given the variety of colours available. Ive got 2 so far. Absolutely love them.
Haha, that is so cool. People try to match watches to their wardrobe, but this is the best example I heard so far. And with G-Shocks, you will have a loooot of options. 💪
Bought one back in the late eighties and found it dependable it took a lot of abuse. Having watched this you’ve peaked my interest once again and think I’ll pick one out either myself or for a gift. Thanks mate, well done.
Never been a G-Shock fan, too bulky, a bit too out there… and then they released the CasiOak. Got one, never regretted that decision. It didn’t leave my wrist during the days I was moving to a new flat and assembling Ikea furniture. Never got in the way, great companion!
I honestly never had any interest in watches, but recently picked up a ga2100 and looked into the history of G-shocks a bit. Barely two weeks later and I've already ordered a 5610u, a World Time Royale, the A100, and a Vibration Alarm. I know this is just the beginning too.. Thank you for all these informative videos, MWC - your content has been super helpful starting out on this casio journey!
Awesome video. I have a Casio G-Shock DW-5600E bought brand new .. have it now after several years.. it is my everyday watch. And I own a Rangeman in black.. bigger watch and I love it.
After buying a couple i went straight for the Rangeman. Solar, multiband 6 and ABC functionalities. Absolutely utilitarian and the watch i wear the most.
You are spot on my friend! That 5610U is my go-to daily and the 5610 “Speed” version is my beater go-to. Like you and many in this list of commenters … once you start, you can’t get enough of them G-Shock watches 😉 Thanks for sharing! Great show 😃👍🏼
My brothe was in the Aust Army , and he was given a G-Shock as standard issue. Plus thats the first time i heard a 'batteries not included' reference....80's Gold!
I can't agree more on the GW-5610 recommendation. I'm literally wearing one right now, in fact. I'm active duty military and this watch is indispensable for me at work (and at play for that matter!). When recommending a G to someone with a slightly larger wrist size, I also recommend the GW-6900 with its slightly larger dimensions but still with multiband 6 and solar charging. I primarily need this as a watch that can go to hell and back and still tell the time with to-the-second accuracy. When I go to bed, this sits on the night stand next to my Omega Seamaster 300M (that has also seen its fair share of time in uniform). Both fantastic watches! Life is too short for snobbery. Also, shout out to the sky blue F91W... Well played!
My first g shock watch was the G-7800, from 2008 but it was discontinued in 2009. This watch have the most customizable module inside, with a dot mátrix display, and you can change the font, and contrast level. I still have it with the original strap. Since then I added more g-shocks to my collection and some other protrek ones. I recently bought the stainless steel version of the square and is a great one, with all the scratches.
OK, listen to this then: I was born in the early 70s and I've been knowing about Casio and G-shock since ever; but never wanted to buy one (I always considered them rather ugly or tacky). Until I started to follow your channel and a couple of others' (but not many actually). Then I really understood the value of G-shock (they are more precise, tougher, cooler and, mostly, cheaper than many other well known watch brands. I decided to go for the 'first and greatest' GW-5610U. After I bought it, I discovered the GW-6900. Sold the 5610 and bought the 6900. For me the coolest and most iconic of all the G-shock. Thanks for spreading the G-shock culture man!!
10 Metres drop onto concrete, rather than 100 metres, methinks! 1984, the sales exploded with the DW5200, otherwise known as the ‘Hero’. Due to it heroically saving the G-Shock, with an advert showing the watch being used as an (ice) hockey puck, brilliant! Great review, love your videos. I have an original DW-5200 and the latest basic DW-5600E. I especially like you pushing the need for a MIP basic watch from G-Shock. I need a GW-5000U, can’t see beyond it, it’s like the GW-M5610U, but more classy and steel.....all the watch you'll ever need.
I love G-Shock watches, they really speak to me by being very utilitarian. I bought my first one somewhat spontaneously. It served me well for many years but I didn't like the negative display on it, it was quite small and lit up by an LED. Recently switched to a GMW 5610U and it's an absolute dream. Very convenient, easy to read, great functionalities. Perfect for edc
Bought the GW-5610 in all black after seeing this. Had been wanting a gshock for a while but couldn’t decide between all the styles until watching this vid. Haven’t taken it off in a week. Thanks for the recommendation!
I love G Shocks. I currently own 6 but I will buy more. I have several automatic watches that I love but my G Shocks get more wrist time than anything else.

I love G Shocks! I have several too including an MR-G an MT-G, a gold metal a version with sensors sensors sensors and a tried and tested GWM 5610. Love them all!
IIn addition to watches Casio MTP E180D, Festina f20515, diesel, smart watch Xiaomi... I wear a Gshock Ga 710 CA2 every day... Beautiful and super watch
As you're a mad Mad Watch Collector and a Casio fan I knew you'd want an update. I chucked my dog's collar in the wash today with my work clothes. As previously posted she has a Casio G Shock DW6900NB-1 fitted to her collar. The one with the glossy black case, mirrored dial and the lightly patterned band. Her collar was looking a little dirty. So her G Shock has just been put through the hot water heavy duty wash cycle and then the hot water heavy duty rinse cycle with the high speed spin dry. A couple of drops of WD-40 on the spring bars and she's good to go. She's been wearing it on her pink cotton webbing collar since last September and it's still going strong. All because you put the mad idea into my head. You Mad man, you.
4:31 I gave up and got that baby-g, totally recommend it the words can be erased with acetone but having a tough as rock watch with the word "baby" on it it's just fun.
Wore my GBD200 today for work related ruffhousery. My 5000u is for besty besty. Would love that 5040 recrystallised with it’s lovely goldish display. Maybe one day 😢
The three ten philosophy, coined by Kikuo Ibe was 10Bar water resistance, 10 year battery life, and that it should survive a 10m drop, i think you said 100m. Although I wouldn't be surprised if some G shocks would survive a 100m drop either :D
Teddy made a vid dropping g shocks from a helicopter, from different heights. Worth watching ☝🏻. I have 3 pieces, and it’s quite hard not to add some more..
Outside of the CWC G10 I was issued in the Army, I wore a G-Shock GA-100 on multiple operations and exercises. Because I loved it so much, I bought a G10 (plus some other CWC watches) when I left the army, but I still have my G-Shock and it still runs like a champ. 💪🏻
I had a white camo one off my wife for Xmas, it’s beautiful BUT, I couldn’t change the time when the clocks went forward in spring ( UK ). So, I’m an hour out which is a pain. I had another one in the early 90’s from a girlfriend, it was army green with a digi compass, air pressure sensors etc, that was a great watch that I can’t remember what happened to it, it may be in a box somewhere.
I’ve not wore my 5600e for a couple of months so just got it out and wearing it right now. Cheers for another top show and hope you had a good holiday 👍
I have to agree Russ, the 5610U would be my advice to anyone looking for a G-Shock, classic style, atomic time keeping, comfortable, solar powered and frankly brilliant. The MIP G-Shocks are better display wise but fitness and app oriented. I have more G-Shock and Casio watches than is arguably healthy as well as one or two Swiss mechanicals and I still have trouble deciding what will go on the wrist for the day. My 5610 (the old one, not the current U version) was on my wrist today for a hospital appointment.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR So many watches yet so few wrists. And that's fine or the contents of my wardrobe would need a complete expensive refresh to cater for any additional arms.
The thing I wish I had known about is tough solar! Replacing batteries and throwing dead batteries into land fills is a drag. I love tough solar watch that just keep working!
I have had a couple of G-Shocks from the later Naughts. The 7710-1 is what i have now and have had for 15 years ish. It's showing it's age. I am struggling to find a new replacement that is as capable
TOOO LATE! I pulled the trigger! Love these watches ever since Gregory Hines wore one in, Eve of Destruction! I love that it's just watch, with the exception of the higher-end ones that include GPS and all that other CR@P, I just don't need! If I wanted that, I'd just buy a Smart Watch, not a G-Shock! Old School I guess? That MIP-display now that's sharp! I wore them working Security in bars, where you get into everything, and the shock of impact loosened the innards and the power fails continually, sadly! I absolutely agree about the removal of the Baby-G name! Love your Vids, thank you!
Hi I had a grate time listening to your review it was so funny but the information was fantastic can you purchase the very first watch they made and if so have you got the model number thanks 👍👍👍👍👍🏴
Seriously got into g shock , spent an absolute fortune on them , buying ,intending to wear , then decide it's too nice to wear , buy another , same intention,end up with far to many ,none of them worn , had to come to my senses and sell them . Moral of this story :g shock is for life ,not just for exibit
I was at the hospital and my doctor was wearing a Mudmaster, and I had my G-5600U1DR, he saw it and instantly called me, and he let me cut the line and got consulted first. The Mudmaster, though big, was absolutely a monster. Well, no one complemented each other for the watch, but he asked if mine was a Tough Solar one, and to his surprise, it was. All this conversation happened right at his door. It was shocking to the others in line.
Last month I bought a brand new G9000 mudman Buttons are hard to press but I noticed that the bottom right button kind of ticks when pressed gently Is this normal or a defective button
I’ve bought a decent amount of watches, some luxury watches. Watches are cool. But I keep coming back to Casio and have to force myself to wear something else just because I bought it. Casio has amazing watches… the g shock squares are great but my favorite is still the sgw100 twin sensor. Awesome video!!!
Another fantastic show MWC! I love G Shocks! I only have two at the moment (a 5610 and a Casioak) but I could quite easily buy loads more if I had the money to spare in my watch piggybank 💸😂
I've had loads over the years. Sold them all off including my Rangeman 9400 but then found I didn't have anything to hand to set my automatics to. Just done a re-buy on a GD350 blackout which is the best of the negative LCD's and already thinking about adding another couple.
I bought another today. I got a blue gbd200 like yours. It was a bargain at earnest Jones outlet shop. They told me it was an ex display model that they have mislaid the box for. £48. Can’t say fairer than that. Recently filled the 24 slot watch display box that I have for casios so now have to decide which Casio is moving out to start a new box.
I love G-Shock's and have had many over the years, but they're far from indestructible. I've had at least 5 fail from water ingress whilst surfing/water skiing after less than two years use. Thankfully they're relatively inexpensive, but i had one fail that was discontinued and I cannot buy again. It was one I adored too... can't remember the reference number.
metal g shocks can absolutely take a beating, they took so long to release first metal ones because they were figuring out how to make them shock resistant in the first place
After watching this very informative video I cant wait to go on my holidays soon to Devon and look out for snobs. And there are quite a few down there in the English Riviera. Then i'm gonna smash my 800UC in their mush and shout, "The Mad Watch Collector said I could do it!" 🤣
I have only four G-Shocks in my watch collection. I am very hard on watches. I keep at least six watches in my collection because I have twice had five watches out of commission simultaneously. They either died or needed service. I'm hardest on swimming watches. I do back stroke and bash watches into the end of the pool. Indoors I'm continually bashing watches into doorframes, counters, cabinets, benches... Finally I tried a G-Shock. Oh happy day! My first was a GWX-5700SS G-Lide. This surfers' watch is my swimming and snorkelling watch. Next came a GWB5600AR1. With a red backlight, this is my every night and astronomy watch. It doesn't affect my night vision. After that came a beater: DW5600E. Finally, a GWM5610U is my everyday watch. The GW's all have Multiband 6 and the AR1 also has Bluetooth. Love the accuracy. Finally, watches that I haven't broken.
Sort of getting more into the HD collections now. The GMW 5610 is the best all round watch in the world but, most of us here have a watch for every conceivable occasion and the idea of a do anything, go anywhere watch is just a phrase you tell the wife to explain yet another watch.
Hello I need your professional help. I want to buy mudmaster. Not because I need it I just like it. I found two of them. GG-B100-1A3ER ( 465 € ) and GG-B100Y-1AER ( 435 € ). Can you please tell me where is the difference betwen those two? or is any? Thank you very much.
I'm planning to have my First G-Shock. Please suggest which one do I choose? G-5600UE (basic square tough solar) Or GA-B2100 (casioak tough solar) ???????? Please everyone! Would love your suggestions! Please 🤔😵💫❤ My current tiny Casio Collection- A1845 MTP-E321D-1AVDF W-217HM-9AVDF EFV-140D-3AV And I also wanted to know what are your thoughts on Casio Enticer GMT, the MTP-W500?? Why no one has covered this watch in their videos till now?!
I have a query that when i tilt the screen of my Casio Gshock DW5600 UE 1 Module 3496 in daylight there seems to appear RCVD just above PS.I know that this module does not have automatic time keeping or multi band 6 but why is it in the screen when the feature is not available. Is the automatic time keeping feature included in Casio Gshock DW5600UE 1 Module 3496 so there is RCVD option ? Or just appers in any 5600 module whether the feature is available or not?
Just bought 2 of them after a little bit of research and thankfully your opinion is same :) I got a B2100 and a 5600BB. 5600 will be used at work with some cover (I hope) cuz I'm a welder and I plan to use 2100 outside of the work.
I'm an Omega guy, but not a snob. I finally got an all metal CasiOak and it is so damned cool! I prefer a mechanical, but how can anyone who professes as love of watches turn their nose up at a G-shock? I'm sure as hell not wearing a $5k Omega to go working in the yard, but at the same time I just can't abide a $20 el cheapo lcd. The G is the perfect beater, but they're so cool I don't want to scratch them up either!
I have the GBD-200 MiP stealth black absolutely love that but really do fancy a gwm5610u but eye sights not the best these days 50 plus lol so bit sceptical about legabilty ... but the urge to get one is strong in me ....😑
HELP ... So, I wanted a DW-6900 for the Mission Impossible 2 Tom Cruise reference and my partner got confused and surprised me with a DW-9052. Now I happen to LOVE IT and also love The Rock Empire State reference BUT I'm just missing one piece of the jigsaw ..... I NEED MWC TO DO A VIDEO ON THE DW-9052 ... PLEEEEEASE 🙏.
I have now 5 Casio watches, but have yet to 'bit the bullet' and get myself a G-Shock. Im thinking the GW-M5610-1BJF any thoughts? I just really dig the more subtle color wave
WAAAHAHA - ultra-funny video! As always 🤣🤣🤣 My first watch was a Casio - this was in 1975/76 or so... I was 6 then... it was a round digital watch with an LCD - OMG i was so impressed!!! To be serious, CASIO is a cult Brand and i love my three GSHOCKs - more then my SEIKOs 🤣👍
My dad got a original DW-5600 when he was in year ten and he’s been wearing them ever since and when I was five witch was in 2015 my mum+dad bought me and my sister a g-shock mini each and I still wear/collect g-shocks to this day and I also used to flex them to my friends. (You also got a new subscriber)
I don’t think the square smart watch deserves all the hate people give it. It has a ton more personality than the Garmin or Apple Watch. And it does its job in step and sleep tracking and I like getting notifications on my watch. Only concern is that the battery life is rather short considering it doesn’t do that many smart things. I get 9 days on a charge. The good thing is that when it does run out of battery the solar power keeps it running as a regular watch. Which is better than the blank screen my other watches give me
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR someone isn’t a yogi bear fan I see 😂 I agree it has its faults, the charm of having a square with smart features kinda negates it. Hasn’t bothered me yet. I like smart watches, but all their designs have no charm, and run out of battery in a day. Was wearing a Huawei GT3 for a while loved the function, but the look was more bland than an aluminium cube with no reflections. This is the first one that reminds me of a watch. More specifically a g shock square I wore in high school. Im chuffed with it. I hope other classics can get a smart watch treatment like this. And yeah, I agree, smoother back would be nice.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR well I think the smart bits are easy to ignore except the endless mode button pushing to get to the step counting mode. The UI needs a little more time in the oven to be ready. Outside bear paw sticking out, it’s probably the best watch so far smart watch fans wanting something with a regular watch story. Casio should have started with this instead of that orange android monstrosity, it would have evolved into something better by now. Great channel! You and Nico sparked my interest back to Casio watches.
I've just taken delivery today of my first G-Shock, a GA 2100 iridescent. A cracking looking watch,one slight problem is I can't see the bloody hands. I'll see how I get on tomorrow in sunlight but I think it will be getting exchanged for another GA 2100.

Teddy made a vid dropping g shocks from a helicopter, from different heights. Worth watching ☝🏻.
I have 3 pieces, and it’s quite hard not to add some more..
Sir i got g schock its 200m
5610u is my go to watch out of my entire collection, absolutely love that little bastard
They’re also addictive-I started with one G-Shock, and now I have so many, I’ve stopped counting!!
Outside of the CWC G10 I was issued in the Army, I wore a G-Shock GA-100 on multiple operations and exercises. Because I loved it so much, I bought a G10 (plus some other CWC watches) when I left the army, but I still have my G-Shock and it still runs like a champ. 💪🏻
Amazing James! Another one of my favourite brands!
I had a white camo one off my wife for Xmas, it’s beautiful BUT, I couldn’t change the time when the clocks went forward in spring ( UK ). So, I’m an hour out which is a pain. I had another one in the early 90’s from a girlfriend, it was army green with a digi compass, air pressure sensors etc, that was a great watch that I can’t remember what happened to it, it may be in a box somewhere.
G shocks are great I use a 5600bb (all black) I needed something that doesn't stick out and can take a beating and still work.
I’ve not wore my 5600e for a couple of months so just got it out and wearing it right now. Cheers for another top show and hope you had a good holiday 👍
How about a review of the MWD-110H-8BVEF ... some are saying its the G Shock Killer....
My first G GA-700RGB. I like him and I want to buy solar and radio controlled. I'm thinking about GW-9400
I have to agree Russ, the 5610U would be my advice to anyone looking for a G-Shock, classic style, atomic time keeping, comfortable, solar powered and frankly brilliant. The MIP G-Shocks are better display wise but fitness and app oriented. I have more G-Shock and Casio watches than is arguably healthy as well as one or two Swiss mechanicals and I still have trouble deciding what will go on the wrist for the day. My 5610 (the old one, not the current U version) was on my wrist today for a hospital appointment.
Cheers Anthony! We share the problem of choosing which watch to wear!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR So many watches yet so few wrists. And that's fine or the contents of my wardrobe would need a complete expensive refresh to cater for any additional arms.
The thing I wish I had known about is tough solar! Replacing batteries and throwing dead batteries into land fills is a drag. I love tough solar watch that just keep working!
A lot of G’s are available with Tough Solar.
I have had a couple of G-Shocks from the later Naughts. The 7710-1 is what i have now and have had for 15 years ish. It's showing it's age. I am struggling to find a new replacement that is as capable
TOOO LATE!
I pulled the trigger!
Love these watches ever since Gregory Hines wore one in, Eve of Destruction!
I love that it's just watch, with the exception of the higher-end ones that include GPS and all that other CR@P, I just don't need!
If I wanted that, I'd just buy a Smart Watch, not a G-Shock!
Old School I guess?
That MIP-display now that's sharp!
I wore them working Security in bars, where you get into everything, and the shock of impact loosened the innards and the power fails continually, sadly!
I absolutely agree about the removal of the Baby-G name!
Love your Vids, thank you!
Always nice to listen and to look at you....cleaver, creative and informative.
And a bit crazy 🤣 keep it
Hi I had a grate time listening to your review it was so funny but the information was fantastic can you purchase the very first watch they made and if so have you got the model number thanks
👍👍👍👍👍🏴
Thank you my friend! You are in luck!!! It seems as though they are bringing out a recreation of that first one very soon!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 🙏 thank you il watch out for it👍🏴
Seriously got into g shock , spent an absolute fortune on them , buying ,intending to wear , then decide it's too nice to wear , buy another , same intention,end up with far to many ,none of them worn , had to come to my senses and sell them . Moral of this story :g shock is for life ,not just for exibit
I have a 9052, I wear it during cold weather because it fits me better than my metal-banded ones do.
I was at the hospital and my doctor was wearing a Mudmaster, and I had my G-5600U1DR, he saw it and instantly called me, and he let me cut the line and got consulted first. The Mudmaster, though big, was absolutely a monster. Well, no one complemented each other for the watch, but he asked if mine was a Tough Solar one, and to his surprise, it was. All this conversation happened right at his door.
It was shocking to the others in line.
Last month I bought a brand new G9000 mudman
Buttons are hard to press but I noticed that the bottom right button kind of ticks when pressed gently
Is this normal or a defective button
I’ll check!!!
Stellar. Thanks for another great show, Russ! 👍
I’ve bought a decent amount of watches, some luxury watches. Watches are cool.
But I keep coming back to Casio and have to force myself to wear something else just because I bought it. Casio has amazing watches… the g shock squares are great but my favorite is still the sgw100 twin sensor.
Awesome video!!!
This man is awesome!!! I love his review style, humor, yet serious facts and educational info for a G-Shock newbie
Another fantastic show MWC!
I love G Shocks! I only have two at the moment (a 5610 and a Casioak) but I could quite easily buy loads more if I had the money to spare in my watch piggybank 💸😂
Two of the best choices, though, partly cos they are of a decent size.
I have the 5610 and ❤ it! Another great video 😎
I've had loads over the years. Sold them all off including my Rangeman 9400 but then found I didn't have anything to hand to set my automatics to. Just done a re-buy on a GD350 blackout which is the best of the negative LCD's and already thinking about adding another couple.
Bought myself a new mudmaster today, over 70 quid knocked off retail price and almost 40 offa casioak, good times bartering in Ernest Jones.
I bought another today. I got a blue gbd200 like yours. It was a bargain at earnest Jones outlet shop. They told me it was an ex display model that they have mislaid the box for. £48. Can’t say fairer than that. Recently filled the 24 slot watch display box that I have for casios so now have to decide which Casio is moving out to start a new box.
Wow what a price!!!!!
5:11 there is not GW7900 but GW-2500-1A. Correct name of the watch 5:11 is GW-2500-1A. Very good looking g-shock similar to the Giez line.
Oh boy i ❤ love your video, because i love G Shock.👍❤from Singapore.
I own a Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U-1ER and I am really satisfied with it. Nice piece of a genial technology!
Thanks to this video I bought two 5610 U one negative with the combi bracelet and one positive screen and I love both
I love G-Schocks! Is MRG-B2000R-1A whereable on 16,5 cm wrist? There is no shop to try it on where I live…
I love G-Shock's and have had many over the years, but they're far from indestructible. I've had at least 5 fail from water ingress whilst surfing/water skiing after less than two years use. Thankfully they're relatively inexpensive, but i had one fail that was discontinued and I cannot buy again. It was one I adored too... can't remember the reference number.
metal g shocks can absolutely take a beating, they took so long to release first metal ones because they were figuring out how to make them shock resistant in the first place
Bedankt
Very kind my friend thank you!
After watching this very informative video I cant wait to go on my holidays soon to Devon and look out for snobs. And there are quite a few down there in the English Riviera. Then i'm gonna smash my 800UC in their mush and shout, "The Mad Watch Collector said I could do it!" 🤣
The English Riviera is inhabited by janners.
I have only four G-Shocks in my watch collection. I am very hard on watches. I keep at least six watches in my collection because I have twice had five watches out of commission simultaneously. They either died or needed service. I'm hardest on swimming watches. I do back stroke and bash watches into the end of the pool. Indoors I'm continually bashing watches into doorframes, counters, cabinets, benches... Finally I tried a G-Shock. Oh happy day! My first was a GWX-5700SS G-Lide. This surfers' watch is my swimming and snorkelling watch. Next came a GWB5600AR1. With a red backlight, this is my every night and astronomy watch. It doesn't affect my night vision. After that came a beater: DW5600E. Finally, a GWM5610U is my everyday watch. The GW's all have Multiband 6 and the AR1 also has Bluetooth. Love the accuracy. Finally, watches that I haven't broken.
I don’t suppose anyone can recommend any decent straps for the 5610U? Got the standard black model and wouldn’t mind adding some colour.
a month ago I bought the g9000 mudman
I wanted something basic without those hassles of smart watches
it is really awesome
I love G shocks with moon phase, or any watch witn moon phase complications in general.
Please make a video on that 30th anniversary frogman model you are wearing plzz plzz plzz 😬
It’s coming!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 😍❤️
Sort of getting more into the HD collections now. The GMW 5610 is the best all round watch in the world but, most of us here have a watch for every conceivable occasion and the idea of a do anything, go anywhere watch is just a phrase you tell the wife to explain yet another watch.
Hahaha very try Dominic !
Hello
I need your professional help. I want to buy mudmaster. Not because I need it I just like it. I found two of them. GG-B100-1A3ER ( 465 € ) and GG-B100Y-1AER ( 435 € ).
Can you please tell me where is the difference betwen those two? or is any?
Thank you very much.
I'm planning to have my First G-Shock. Please suggest which one do I choose? G-5600UE (basic square tough solar) Or GA-B2100 (casioak tough solar) ????????
Please everyone! Would love your suggestions! Please 🤔😵💫❤
My current tiny Casio Collection-
A1845 MTP-E321D-1AVDF
W-217HM-9AVDF
EFV-140D-3AV
And I also wanted to know what are your thoughts on Casio Enticer GMT, the MTP-W500?? Why no one has covered this watch in their videos till now?!
I love your videos,you were the one who actually got me into casios and i have to thank you for that but can you tell me how to stop buying 😂😂
What is a tactical strong G shock.Also whats your view on Casio edifice analogue not chronograph .For Goodness sake what watch will suit my self
I have a query that when i tilt the screen of my Casio Gshock DW5600 UE 1 Module 3496 in daylight there seems to appear RCVD just above PS.I know that this module does not have automatic time keeping or multi band 6 but why is it in the screen when the feature is not available.
Is the automatic time keeping feature included in Casio Gshock DW5600UE 1 Module 3496 so there is RCVD option ?
Or just appers in any 5600 module whether the feature is available or not?
I found you by accident. Glad I did. Your presentations are well done and hilarious as well. Keep it up!
If you are looking for one the size of a baby-g but without the baby logo try a gmd-s5600 or a gmas-2100
The Casioak brought me back to g-shock. Been wearing it for about a year now.
What is the G-Shock second in from the right on the title screen? It is next to the 6900 and i don't think ive ever seen it before.
Thanks for doing this video. I haven’t decided which one to get. I have been mostly into mechanical watches but I am interested in a G shock.
Another option for a “non-Baby” model is the 2900; they look solid, have big digits and wear nice and small.
My “current” favorite G, it is very boss and love it’s look on the wrist (42mm) perfect size
Just bought 2 of them after a little bit of research and thankfully your opinion is same :) I got a B2100 and a 5600BB. 5600 will be used at work with some cover (I hope) cuz I'm a welder and I plan to use 2100 outside of the work.
I'm an Omega guy, but not a snob. I finally got an all metal CasiOak and it is so damned cool! I prefer a mechanical, but how can anyone who professes as love of watches turn their nose up at a G-shock? I'm sure as hell not wearing a $5k Omega to go working in the yard, but at the same time I just can't abide a $20 el cheapo lcd. The G is the perfect beater, but they're so cool I don't want to scratch them up either!
I started with a 5600 - love it. And I completely agree with the "baby." What are they thinking?
I have the GBD-200 MiP stealth black absolutely love that but really do fancy a gwm5610u but eye sights not the best these days 50 plus lol so bit sceptical about legabilty ... but the urge to get one is strong in me ....😑
HELP ... So, I wanted a DW-6900 for the Mission Impossible 2 Tom Cruise reference and my partner got confused and surprised me with a DW-9052.
Now I happen to LOVE IT and also love The Rock Empire State reference BUT I'm just missing one piece of the jigsaw ..... I NEED MWC TO DO A VIDEO ON THE DW-9052 ... PLEEEEEASE 🙏.
I have now 5 Casio watches, but have yet to 'bit the bullet' and get myself a G-Shock. Im thinking the GW-M5610-1BJF any thoughts? I just really dig the more subtle color wave
WAAAHAHA - ultra-funny video! As always 🤣🤣🤣
My first watch was a Casio - this was in 1975/76 or so... I was 6 then... it was a round digital watch with an LCD - OMG i was so impressed!!!
To be serious, CASIO is a cult Brand and i love my three GSHOCKs - more then my SEIKOs 🤣👍
Superb my friend!!
For that and so many reasons I love mi Casio dw 290, and my g shock GW6900
My dad got a original DW-5600 when he was in year ten and he’s been wearing them ever since and when I was five witch was in 2015 my mum+dad bought me and my sister a g-shock mini each and I still wear/collect g-shocks to this day and I also used to flex them to my friends. (You also got a new subscriber)
I don’t think the square smart watch deserves all the hate people give it.
It has a ton more personality than the Garmin or Apple Watch. And it does its job in step and sleep tracking and I like getting notifications on my watch.
Only concern is that the battery life is rather short considering it doesn’t do that many smart things. I get 9 days on a charge. The good thing is that when it does run out of battery the solar power keeps it running as a regular watch. Which is better than the blank screen my other watches give me
Take a look at the back of the new Rangeman that’s coming out. The bear paw did not need to stick out
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR someone isn’t a yogi bear fan I see 😂 I agree it has its faults, the charm of having a square with smart features kinda negates it. Hasn’t bothered me yet.
I like smart watches, but all their designs have no charm, and run out of battery in a day. Was wearing a Huawei GT3 for a while loved the function, but the look was more bland than an aluminium cube with no reflections. This is the first one that reminds me of a watch. More specifically a g shock square I wore in high school. Im chuffed with it.
I hope other classics can get a smart watch treatment like this. And yeah, I agree, smoother back would be nice.
Love how much you like it my friend but this one e was made too smart
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR well I think the smart bits are easy to ignore except the endless mode button pushing to get to the step counting mode. The UI needs a little more time in the oven to be ready.
Outside bear paw sticking out, it’s probably the best watch so far smart watch fans wanting something with a regular watch story. Casio should have started with this instead of that orange android monstrosity, it would have evolved into something better by now.
Great channel! You and Nico sparked my interest back to Casio watches.
another brilliant episode russ.;-)
Simply Dw5600 is the quintessential square, Gw5000u is the perfect modern square and don’t get me started on the epic dw6600.or the amazing Rangeman.
5610 for sure
But I want to try Timex Expedition Shock…gotta have vibration alarm to wake up in the AM without waking up others
May I know where you got that watch display cabinet from?
Got lucky on eBay my friend
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR ohh nice! Thank you for your reply!
What's the model of the watches shown at 0:50 and the right one at 3:10 ? I just LOVE that display !!
I've just taken delivery today of my first G-Shock, a GA 2100 iridescent. A cracking looking watch,one slight problem is I can't see the bloody hands. I'll see how I get on tomorrow in sunlight but I think it will be getting exchanged for another GA 2100.
