I really liked the Tron, considered buying it before I sent the review one back, but I had been going a bit too nuts on watch purchases for the collection....like this one lol
@@DougFNJ I think this is worth collecting. Those metal g shocks kinda meh and boring to me. This one not as daily beater, but very uniquely cool. Not everyday you see such precision in engraving.
Very nice review. I own the normal GMW-B5000 in silver steel. I was afraid too that it would be too much polish, but actually only the bezel had some polish, not all over though. The strap is only polished on the pieces between the links, just like this titanium version. The steel version is actually really great. A lot cheaper than the titanium version, but the same kind of quality. And I really like the heavier weight. A metal watch should be hefty imo. For someone who is on a budget, but who loves the looks of this titanium watch, I can really recommend the DW-5035 in black with gold accents. It is a very nice looking watch, which has the same specs as the original G-Shock: the DW-5000.
Thank you for watching and your comment. I really appreciate the fact that there are so many choices with such a great module. My usual choice is Steel with metal watches as well, I like the weight. Casio's Titanium models are a better experience than many other brands for me.
I also like adding custom cities for the time zones. Having your home timezone set with your actual hometown is cool. Three out of five of my world time selections are custom cities. I've gotten to like the pin and collar and I feel better about it's security than screws. Screws are just as fiddly anyhow.
On multiple alarm casios I like to set them all up at once. I scatter them through the day, like wake up time, lunch, etc. It is easier to change it a small amount, especially if doing it on the watch.
Thank you, it really is great to be back! It's fun to do, and I am getting the opportunity to experience a lot of great watches! This has quickly become one of my favorite pieces.
@@DougFNJ I have many other non-square Gs but the Ti Squares have long been my passion. Have a couple of 2k Muddys, one being the Flare armed. Couple of Frogman’s, Poison Dart Frog being one of them, the MTG Rainbow Mountain and a few others. All either premium or hard to find.
I've seen them in some colors as cheap as $1000 on ebay. I haven't seen this color under $1400. But I still can't justify it over the GW-B5600BC-1 which is similar in features and appearance and weight because the combi bracelet is plastic. New they are $200 and something up to over $300 but used over $100. But that's a huge difference. Still positive display, still multiband, still bluetooth, still tough solar, still linked bracelet.
This is more for a collector. It's limited and no longer available, sapphire crystal, and excellent details. Definitely not for everyone, but I love the fact that there are so many variations with this module to choose from.
I have both. You'd just have to experience this Ti watch on your wrist to see the difference. The gold accents, the highly polished bezel, and the very robust Ti bracelet give this watch a "Rolls-Royce of black Casio Squares" feel to it. This one will never leave my collection. It gets worn more than any of my other Casio's, and more than my mechanical Swiss watches.
G-Shock psycho that's what you call me because I paid and A lot for the titanium Square G-Shock the other cameo version And very happy about that 😀 don't care what other people think The most comfortable G-Shock have ever worn. Better than the G-Shock MR_G titanium GPS much more comfortable
Yes. You will be paying for the Titanium with DLC and Sapphire glass that is going to be A LOT more durable than resin. All the scuffs and nicks you normally see on the resin after a couple of year of knocks and bangs won't appear on this watch. Some of the test videos on the above two materials are amazing!
Nice watch, but being it was so low key and plain. It just looks like a regular Casio. I thought it was a bit overpriced for a plain jane. It sure is dressier than the Cameo for sure. Camouflage Titaniums are more sporty watches. I think Even The Cameo are great because when you see it you know exactly what it is and can't mistake it for anything else. I also love the G-Shock GMW-B5000TVA-1 Titanium Virtual Armor Which is the One I went with. Hopefully it should be here Today by the afternoon time. Had a hard time getting watch released from USA Customs, because of paperwork issues. Finally after a week of holding it hostage and me calling in and playing Hostage Negotiator, it was released. Seems they "USA" are getting really stricts about imports coming from Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Etc.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. I like the plain Jane and knowing what I have without the rest of the world knowing it. But This is one of the things I love about Casio, they put options out there that appeal to most. Some like their watch loud, some like them discrete. I like that Titanium Virtual Armor. Please let me know what you think when you get it.
Great looking watch. I ordered one but decide to cancel. A g-shock is suppose to be a beater watch. I’d get an automatic entry level luxury Swiss brand for this price.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. This is more a collectors watch, I definitely wouldn't be wearing this one on a construction site. What did you go for?
Hi Tom, thank you. They can be found on Ebay. I'm actually considering selling mine to fund some other purchases. you could drop me a note at dougfnjwatches@gmail.com if you are interested.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Steel is easier to work with. They had to build machines to specifically work with the titanium and had the ability to make limited amounts. They used sapphire for the crystal, and the detailed finishing is finer. They made it worth it.
@@DougFNJdidn't know about sapphire. And it is really cool. I am thinking about the steel version. Huge fan of the square g shocks. That one with the gold squares is really cool too. I can see it more. I might get one if I can find a 0% finance deal. Thanks for the info and review and enjoy your watch.
Casio like Rolex ripping people of wit watches that are worth much les to manufacture than what they charge. These metal squares are a total ripoff. Just buy a mod kit from Ali Express & be my better off.
This one is understated. But i got the TRON SS GMW instead. Speaks to me and i am a motorcycle rider. TRON for life!

Fantastic review and watch...BUT....I just can't justify that price...lol. Said that in my review as well. Still a gorgeous watch. Keep em coming sir!
Thanks Maverick, it was hard to justify the full price, and was still hard with the discount. But man, in the end it was so worth it.
I also like adding custom cities for the time zones. Having your home timezone set with your actual hometown is cool. Three out of five of my world time selections are custom cities.
I've gotten to like the pin and collar and I feel better about it's security than screws. Screws are just as fiddly anyhow.
The pin and collar drive me nuts when trying to properly size, but it truly is adjust once, and no need to again after that.
On multiple alarm casios I like to set them all up at once. I scatter them through the day, like wake up time, lunch, etc. It is easier to change it a small amount, especially if doing it on the watch.
The only thing lacking with the reminder feature is that you cant set the times in the form of alarm reminders when the event comes up
DougFNJ Well, you could set them at, say, 6:00, 6:05, etc.
Refreshing review. Not just gushing over it, but going over the subtleties and nuances
Thats how I have always liked to do reviews, more along the line of walkthroughs and how to's. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment.
Great review, Doug. Awsome to see you back in the mix as well. Love this piece!
Thank you, it really is great to be back! It's fun to do, and I am getting the opportunity to experience a lot of great watches! This has quickly become one of my favorite pieces.
Damn it is beautiful. Thanks for this video man. Helped me make up my mind... Cheers
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment! It really is beautiful. I love my G-Shock collection, this holds its place at the top!
Finally got my hands on one of these, gives me my sixth of the (currently) seven Ti-Squares. Just the TCM to go.
You are a true collector! do you collect squares only, or other G's as well?

Nice review Doug. The strap is very similar to my GWA1000FC-1A4, except that's a mixture of resin and steel I believe.
Thanks Soloman, yes that’s the composite resin/steel strap. Those are definitely much easier to size.
This is super beauty 🤩
Been loving it sone I got it. Wait til you see my next review!
G-Shock psycho that's what you call me because I paid and
A lot for the titanium Square G-Shock the other cameo version
And very happy about that 😀 don't care what other people think
The most comfortable G-Shock have ever worn. Better than the G-Shock MR_G titanium GPS much more comfortable
It’s so worth it.
Awesome review, great watch but expensive. Can get that module in resin for £60 uk price.
Thank you for watching and commenting. There are some great watches with this module, this version quickly became my favorite square.

super watch period!!!!
100% agree!!

It really is. They did so good on this.

@@DougFNJ I have the GMW-B5000GD but it's too heavy. GW-B5600BC-1B offers the best value in its price.
Nice watch, good review. Have you gotten your hands on the GBX-100 yet?
Thanks man, I have not, but I will keep my eye out and see about getting one for review.
@@DougFNJI have one on back order, the all black one. It's going on two weeks now. Don't know when it will be getting here.
1986mrcrj please let me know what you think
@@DougFNJ I show will
Hi Doug, great video. Any idea where I can purchase a GMWB5000TCM-1?
Hi Tom, thank you. They can be found on Ebay. I'm actually considering selling mine to fund some other purchases. you could drop me a note at dougfnjwatches@gmail.com if you are interested.
Doug. Would you mind reviewing your other higher end watches?
Thanks Mahi, I definitely will. Keep an eye out.
Casio steel version $600 and titanium version almost 3 times that. Why is Casio hitting people over the head for titanium?
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Steel is easier to work with. They had to build machines to specifically work with the titanium and had the ability to make limited amounts. They used sapphire for the crystal, and the detailed finishing is finer. They made it worth it.
@@DougFNJdidn't know about sapphire. And it is really cool. I am thinking about the steel version. Huge fan of the square g shocks. That one with the gold squares is really cool too. I can see it more. I might get one if I can find a 0% finance deal. Thanks for the info and review and enjoy your watch.
Happy to help. Reach out to Topper. They have a great deal right now, giving a free CasiOAK with purchase.
No fucking clue, aftermarket titanium cases for the g shock squares are being sold for $180.
What is the weight of this watch?
Very light, just 10 grams
imagine this with mip display
I hope they try it. Maybe an updated king with it
I hope they don't, then I have to buy that too 😭
How much this watch Dough?
These are so hard to get now Zey, I would definitely suggest checking out the Watchuseek forums and Chrono24.
I would rather use that money towards a Rolex...otherwise great review.
Thank you, this one is primarily a collectors watch.
If you can find one at retail price lmao :))
With that money, ill buy a ultra apple
Love my Ultra! I actually sold this one a few years ago, good thing about this version is it hood it’s value.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ومابكم من نعمة فمن الله
Shouldn't have been a limited edition.
I don't think they had a choice.
Casio like Rolex ripping people of wit watches that are worth much les to manufacture than what they charge. These metal squares are a total ripoff. Just buy a mod kit from Ali Express & be my better off.
The redeeming quality on this watch, particularly because it’s limited is high resell value.
