Tip for the next time. First attach bracelet, than put bezel back on. It is much easier that way ☺️
Thanks for the tip, Evaldasd. I’m going to try that going forward!
@@goatreviews also you can separate bracelet at the clasp into two pieces. It will make a lot easier to put second spring bar in
@@Evaldasd 🧠 Big Brain alert! 🚨
🤯 Something tells me you’ve done this before. Thanks for the tips and tricks!
Gotta say THIS kit looks even nicer than the stainless brushed & chrome steel Kit i saw a while ago. This one here looks really really tempting.
I feel that, Kraftwerk! Stay strong brother. If we always gave in to temptations, we’d be swimming in watches! 🏊♂️⌚️
@@goatreviews just one more watch won't hurt x33
Just about to do this for my gshock ga2100 so thanks for posting chap👍
All good, Paul! Good luck. I can’t wait for my next mod! 👀
Looks much better!
Thanks Astronaut! 👩🚀🥁
I agree, I’m loving this watch right now.
I did the same upgrade and love it. The small spring bars in the bracelet links are a revelation! Think it looks great and wears well too. The clasp is nice, bit of a light click, but great for the cost
Glad to hear you’re happy with it too, Andrew! Have you ever had the clasp come undone during normal wear?
@@goatreviews no it's been perfect, think it just sounds thin when it clicks into place. Best fitting bracelet, nice and comfortable, no sharp edges and I think the bezel makes the overall watch thinner too. The spring bars in each bracelet link is still the best bit, makes it a breeze to fit
how does it hold up after months of using it?? does the black paint on the steel last long?
@@dopechicken7422 still perfect. The prices have dropped now too so cheaper to replace if there were an issue
Congrats on the amazingly plpular video!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing, right? Cheers for the support, Maker Brain! 🧠
Cool cool cool thanks for this!
No worries Chris, glad you liked it!
Oh man, another mod that's bangin' hard! Looks like it's a lot easier than the MR-G mod you did. I'll have to consider this one since I already own the 5610.
Sure is! 😎 Absolutely. It's substantially easier than the MR-G (No lens or pusher swap) so I can honestly say ANYONE can do. Also, since you've already got a 5610, it's a NO-BRAINER! 🧠 Cheers Ba-Gawk! 🙏🐤
Hermoso video, ya lo quiero!!! 🙏
Gracias Erick. ¡Es un reloj hermoso! 🤩⌚️
You can stretch cling film over your screwdriver tips to make them not scratch. (May have to use a driver that is slightly smaller, but in most cases not)
Cheers Daniel! 🙏 Cling film is a good one to try. In my next upgrade (The MR-G) I just used masking tape.
Which do you think is better?
Note for future brother. Use a bit of masking tape on the screwdriver or just some cling film to avoid accidental scratching.
What a great tip! Thanks so much for sharing Sai, I’ll keep this in mind for next time
My husband have a g-shock that is waterproof and he did some upgrade by himself and end up becoming not waterproof 😂 I hope you’re doing it more carefully
Thanks Charlie! Haha, I will be touching on this in an upcoming video of the Titanium kit!
I was thinking the same..I restored my dw6600 few years back..and even genuine parts does not fit 100%. There was still 1mm gap. 🥲 Since then..it's in the dry 😄
A bezel/bracelet replacement does not affect watertightness. The watch itself is in a self-contained capsule. You hubby must have got something terribly wrong :)
Zs
@@gamestop9850 Thanks GameStop.
I’d love to hear more about the how to ground the G-Shock?
BTW, agree on the importance of the O-Ring care! I’ve got a special O-Ring lube kit which I featured in my latest Watch video - check it out for an update!
🤣🤣🤣
I only put the iron protector on the screen, metal color.
But it looks beautiful with your metal kit
Thanks, Edertano. Cool idea, I bet it looks good, and is comfy too!
Nice video, the mod bracelet what I don’t like about it has the Bluetooth logo. And I’m wondering about the lug to lug is the male endlink bend or it’s female endlink?
Thanks Michel! Fair point.
I don’t mind the Bluetooth logo, as it’s quite small and it is accurate when installed on some 5600 series like my last Titanium kit.
The lug-to-lug size is affected by the 2 closest links which are very rigid. This increases the effective lug-to-lug from about 49mm, all the way up to 58mm
hi. I bought a Steel kit a month ago and everything worked out perfect, just like this video. And then, I wanted to try out the Titanium version, so I bought and received it yesterday. What a piece of junk that was. first, the clasp did not lock in securely. No assuring click sound and I really had to press it really hard to get it locked. Pain in the ass. Also, as for one lug, the spring bar did not click in at all. I tried and tried for 30 minutes and finally gave up and used a regular spring bar (without easy quick release) and it worked! As for the shitty clasp, I had to change to my previous Steel version of clasp to get it working. Not happy with the quality of Titanium version. How was your experience? please tell us about it. thanks
Hi Alex! Glad to hear you’re happy with your steel upgrade kit. 😁
Interesting… It sounds like the Titanium kit was inferior in every way! Were both kits ordered from the same listing, and seller? 🤔
I have a video comparing the scratch resistance of the Titanium and Steel kits, that I think you need to see:
ruclips.net/video/wyCv-9xZX1c/видео.html
Hope this helps! 🙏
When doing these conversions, attach the metal bracelet first before attaching the bezel
Legend! Thanks for the tip, Mr Black Hat 🎩
I’ll be implementing this advice for my next upgrade 👀
So does this mod kit have a different design vs the titanium one, that puts less pressure & stress on the plastic lugs, so this one won't crack?
I have compared the Steel and Titanium side by side, and the designs are extremely similar to the point where I did not notice any differences. However I definitely did not have THIS MUCH TROUBLE getting the Spring Bars in when I did the Titanium Kit! BTW, 'cracking' was not what ended up breaking my GW-B5600 :)
Kool I got the original TVA So I didn't need this upgrade, also picked it up for under 1k.
Although this is a nice upgrade, It will lack Authenticity, Sapphire Glass, IP Coating, laser edging, etc etc. Plus there is no way of knowing what kind of metal we are getting, it can even be a hard aluminum?
Nonetheless, I would def do this upgrade to one of my 5600's for when I travel out of the country, this way if something should happen, It won't be such a big loss for me.
That’s awesome, Elevo. I’m impressed you found it for such a great price!
Fair points! It seems like it’s a Titanium mix of some kind - all I know is it does weigh less than the steel.
That’s a great idea! 💡 Better to keep the original safe.
I'm not a fan of the square G-Shocks. I have a Gravitymaster GPW-2000, Gravitymaster GRB-100 and a Protrek WSD F-20. Though I do love the details on the strap of your watch. Awesome work with the replacement. Cheers!
Cheers Ameya! Fair point - TBH I wasn’t a fan of the squares at first either, but they slowly grew on me 😄
Nice collection! Indeed, the strap is incredible in person.
I’m waiting for this exact same kit for that exact same watch jajaja
You have fine taste, Adrian!
I’m just about to release a video on the installation of my first kit, and the lessons I learned which you’ll find helpful. Stay tuned! 👀
2 weeks ago i bought a silver full metal gmw5000. I planed to buy a very nice case and bracelet for when it will be scratched, but sering how hard is to change, i end up buying CapeCode polishing cloth!
Fantastic pickup, Cristi! 🤩⌚️
What about the bracelet and case change seems hardest for you?
Wow - haven’t heard of that cloth. Better than a Microfiber I assume 😁
@@goatreviews
Its my mistake, i wanted to reply to a different video, the one 'i killed my g-shock'.
From what i see in this video its pretty simple with this kind of kit.
Thank you.
Hi, is the Original Upper Dial of the GWM5610U still in your possession or have you discarded it ?
Hi Charudatta! 👋
It sure is. I’ve kept it in my watch tool box 🧰😉 Why do you ask?
The 5610u should have the 3495 module so I guess that bracelet was for the previous model
That's right, Nick! It's a 3495 Module. The old Titanium kit which I used fit on it's "3461" Module, but I am not using the strap from that kit and it fit's fine on the 3495
I live in regional Western Australia and to me a one week delivery is a somewhat short delivery time.
Haha, glad to hear it won’t be an inconvenience 👌🇦🇺
Now that you have had the Mech Style mod for a while which you do prefer the steel or the titanium version?
What a Fantastic question! Each have their advantages:
- The Titanium Kit is definitely lighter! Though, it is substantially more expensive, at about twice the price. I did find it accumulated some wear on the bezel (my fault with the bull bar) and the strap ‘contact points’ (Metal on metal) did wear down over time.
- The Steel Kit is more affordable, at the cost of being heavier. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. My Scratch Test video surprisingly proved that the Steel Kit is also more resilient to scratches! I haven’t owned it for as long, but it’s showing less signs of wear than the Titanium kit.
Given my experience with each, I would say I prefer the Steel Kit! In fact, I’m wearing it as I type this 🤩
If you are ‘weighing up’ which model to purchase, I hope this info has given you an idea of what’s best for you 😊
buen día, una pregunta fuí a la dirección que esta debajo del video y observo de que el bisel que allí muestran no tiene impreso las palabras protection y g-shock, es así o no, gracias.
¡Gran pregunta, Héctor! 🙏 La mejor manera de saberlo con seguridad es consultar "Comentarios y reseñas" debajo de la lista de productos. Allí verá personas que han publicado fotos del producto recibido, con el logo si está ahí. 😉 Quizás no lo muestren en las fotos del listado por motivos de derechos de autor.
I want one. I'd love to see how you broke that 5600 so I can learn from your mistakes ;)
It's a great watch indeed - I'm loving it! Thanks Guðmundur - I'll get around to recording a detailed review of my experience with the Titanium kit, and how I broke it for you!
Very nice 👍
Thanks Gary! Glad you found it useful.
Да, очень круто смотрятся. Спасибо что показал.
Они точно есть, Виктор! Рад, что вам понравилось. Хорошего дня
The picture on ali express doesn't say g shock or protection on the bezel but it does on the one you have. Do they not show it on their site but it's actually on the bezel or have they changed the bezel to actually not say it?
Great observation! I believe you’re onto it. It looks like they strategically don’t show the ‘branding’ for copyright reasons, but it does have it on once it arrives :)
@@goatreviews Oh ok. I figured that they just couldn't show it on the site for legal reasons. Thank you for responding to my question.
Looks good but as soon as it gets a few scrapes and scratches it will look bad. Also it's trebled the weight. I will leave mine as standard
Fair call, Lone Ranger!
I’m testing to see how the Steel Kit holds up over time, but I can say the Titanium kit was worn for about 9 months with minimal damage (only where there was metal on metal contact)
I’ve done a couple of videos talking about this :)
I will be doing this upgrade.
Yes! 🙌 Thats great news Zach. You’ll be so happy with the build process, and the results!
If you’d like to share your journey with us, do jump in to the Discord channel! 🙏
Just ordered mine. Can’t wait. I brought the 5610 a year ago. Never used it. This will give it a whole new look.
Great stuff, @@zachary4225 !
I hope the upgrade goes smoothly 😉 Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any guidance, or want to share your results!
Hey mate do you think the white print text on the left and right bezel sides would come off it were attempted. How is the red part supplied is it a decal. Can it also be removed??
G’day John! 👋
I just checked for you. My text is still holding strong after all this time! I suppose if you wanted to, you could try rubbing it away with chemicals but you may risk damaging the finish.
The red part visible through the 2 holes on the bezel is simply taped on, and could easily be removed! I’ve seen some that have a plastic insert, which is also removable.
Hope this helps! 🙏
@@goatreviews Cheers mate. Great channel and content. Newly subbed!!
@@johnrb9397 Good on you John! 🙏
Welcome aboard 🫡
I'm sorry if it's covered in the video but I'm at work and didn't have time to watch it all. But does the bracelet in this kit have push pins or screws?
No worries Jason! The bracelet has push pins - and the upgrade kit does include a special tool to remove them. Have a great day!
@@goatreviews awesome I'm definitely picking up this kit thanks for the recommend!
All good, @@Avaddon911! Hope you enjoy the upgrade kit as much as I do 😁
Hey I've been looking at different ones on AliExpress and it sounds like is they don't show the G-SHOCK logo for legal issues, but then do they ship it with them? I haven't been able to get a real answer from sellers.
G'day Juffurey, great question!
I can't vouch for all sellers, obviously, as there are so many! BUT, from personal experience, I have indeed ordered from listings that don't show the G-Shock logo (As you said I suppose for legal reasons) and received a bezel which has the correct G-Shock Logo! 👌
It's still a gamble, though - So the only way to be absolutely certain, is to either ask the seller directly, OR easier yet, check the reviews and ratings for ones with pictures, and make sure you see one showing the logo 😊
Hope this helps! 🙏
Trying to decide if the titanium version is worth the extra cost over the steel. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Great question, Stephen! 👌 It depends on what is more desirable for you - Low weight, or scratch resistance? And is the difference worth the price to you?
Here's 2 videos I made comparing the kits, which will be useful in making your decision 🙂

Brilliant thanks!
Will it fit to DW-5600E ? Want to order the same, but Im not sure, do you know maybe the answer?
G’day Piotr, a great question. The DW-5600E falls in to the “5600 series”, which are specified in the listing under the ‘Applicable models’: DW-5600 😁
Just received it and installed it. Here is my two opinions after trying it. 1. No matter what you do its a fake, you cant feel good wearing a fake. 2. This model as (cool as it looks) is not a watch for dressing up and going out, it just looks like a cheap casio that any teenager has so Im back to wearing my SS GMW-b5000D. Glad I didn't blow the money on the real deal.
Thanks for weighing in, FunPlayMix!
I have mixed feelings about wearing it. On one hand the bezel and strap aren’t genuine, but I do feel better knowing I got almost the same look for much better value.
Great! That’s what’s good about these kits - it’s a way to see if you like the look without committing thousands of dollars.
Hope you’re enjoying your B5000! 🤩
@@goatreviews Glad right? Though I regret not getting this kit in SS and saved a few bucks.
Hi, how does the mod change the lug to lug dimension of the watch?
Great question, Nguyễn! I've just done a measurement for you. The OLD "Rubber" Bezel had a lug to lug of about 48mm by my measurements. The Steel version is very SLIGHTLY bigger, at about 49mm. However, please note that the FIRST LINK on both the top, AND the bottom of the watch becomes FIXED (and very rigid) with this upgrade kit. This essentially increases the 'effective' lug to lug distance to about 58mm!
@@goatreviews ah that sounds like a no go for small wrists
@@ndquoctrong Sadly, that’s correct. For my 6.75” wrist it works out, but as you get much smaller than that, I can see it would start to leave a gap.
very nice
Indeed, Mr. Hoot! 🦉 Thank you 🙏
the button label functions on the watch dont line up with the upgrade kit
Thanks Jason. Can you clarify which functions you’re referring to? The only thing which is coming to mind is Bluetooth.
The Titanium kit I did using a GW-B5600, I did not notice any differences :)
@@goatreviews its ok. I had another look at a different angle and while they do line up, its not obviously clear at first glance.
can i use the case only and keep the original rubber band ?
Absolutely, David! I’ve found the parts to be compatible sizes, so you could just swap the bezel if you wish. 👌
good job and good watch,,,i am crazy from CASIO watches ,,,kadatis from Algeria...
I appreciate the feedback, Kadatis! I’m becoming crazy for Casio too 😜
fuck this looks so cool
It sure does, AlphaDream! I'm super happy with how it turned out.
Ah! I love the virtual armor series, great design, but sorry, I'm just not gonna lay down that kind of money for a marketing excersize.
The think about G-Shocks is their accessibility. Artificially inflating their value is something I frown upon a little bit.
Awesome way to pimp up your -ride- wrist.
I completely agree, Shiznuts! I'm all about the 'Value' G-Shocks bring!
Would you know if it would fit a GW5000U?
G’day Brian, great question!
I’d love to help you find one that fits your GW5000.
I had a close look at the listing I posted, and it did NOT mention GW5000 as compatible…
BUT! I was able to find one for you that specifically DOES mention your model number!
a.aliexpress.com/_mKR9iUy
Hope this helps, and let me know your thoughts 🙏
🔥🔥🔥
😎👌🔥
after this upgrade the case still waterproof ? and shockproof ?
It sure is, David! Upgrading the bezel and strap has zero effect on the waterproof rating. (If you weee to perform a lens swap, or button swap, it may be affected depending on how well you do the swap)
As for being shockproof, although we didn’t work on the internal module, I would argue that it is now LESS shockproof since the metal case wouldn’t be as bouncy as rubber or resin.
Want to order a black metal bezal/band set for my 5610 but they seem to be sold out and can only find ones for the 5600 will it fit a 5610 what is the size difference between them? As you use them regularly hope you might know?
G'day Paul! Not a problem. I was able to find a couple of options for you. These listing all have the "5610" as a specific option, so you should be all good for compatibility. Hope these help! 🙏
Cheapest, and the store I usually use:

@goatreviews thanks buddy Its a long story but for a while only able to buy from Ebay UK. But got things sorted now so will defo have to set up an aliexpress account as I to RC cars as well and it's good for that too! Good morning and many thanks matey!
@@paulmcnamara2908 All good Paul! In that case, to answer your original question, I know the straps are compatible between 5600 and 5610 but I can’t be certain about the bezels. I know from experience I was able to try my old 5600 titanium bezel onto my 5610 and it fit! However I don’t want you to buy the wrong size, especially if they have a separate selection for 5610. You’d think means there’s a substantial difference!
Yes it’s well worth having an account for AliX - heaps of cool stuff at great prices.
That’s awesome! RC cars are a pretty cool hobby too 😎
@goatreviews RC cars and trucks are just as expensive as watches that's for sure! Yeah just wondering as can get band/bezal sets for as little as £30 and was thinking of risking it at that price! 😱
Oh man, I know someone who’s into RC planes… So I have a feeling for how ‘involved’ it can be 😁
If you pick the right seller, and check the feedback ratings of the item itself, you should be in the clear!
Funnily enough I’ve just finished recording a video about the topic “is AliExpress a scam or legit?”, as it’s something I know is on people’s minds. Stay tuned for a proper explanation! 🙏
Do they have titanium version of this for the GW-M5610U?
Good question, Gonzo. I have just checked and they sure do! If you check the AliExpress link I’ve left in the description, there’s an option to select Titanium for this model.
@@goatreviews
Thanks man. Oh was it just added? If it was there before, my bad, I didnt check your shared links.
Price is doubled compared to the SS. I might think that over.
@@oneyedthing All good, Gonzo!
If it helps you make up your mind, I’ve got another video which compares the Steel VS Titanium upgrade kits.
@@goatreviews
I just did. The weight comparison between the SS and Titanium was definitely helpful. I might check the weight of my 5610 with resin strap just to know how much the titanium compares to it.
I also watched the "learn from my mistake.." video. And behalf of everyone who were curious how difficult it is to swap out the crystal panel..We thank you for sharing your sacrifice. RIP GWB5600 module.

@GOAT Reviews I'm with you man, same thing with me and this new hobby of mine..
It’s super
🦸🏻♂️👌
Will you do one on the GXW56 KING please? You can get a few metal upgrades for them and I want to know what they are like, as I wear a GXW56 daily?? Thanks
G’day TheGreatest. I’d never seen that model until you posted this!
To do one of these upgrades I’d need to purchase both the watch and upgrade kit, so it will have to be a ‘maybe in he future’ for now.
Thanks for sharing, it looks like a really cool design!
@@goatreviews hi. It’s a really popular model, Europe normally do the Gx56BB which has a negative screen, which I hate personally, so I had to import mine from Japan to Britain, the positive screen model is called the GXW56. They are really great watches, with tough solar and multi band 6 etc. thanks for the reply!
@@BottleBri I can see why it’s so popular!
Agreed - the only negative display I’ve seen that I’m happy with is on the GD-350, which was really well done.
@@goatreviews
GD-350 has a great screen.
@@e28forever30 it sure does! 🙏 One of the reasons I got it 🤩
How did it hold up to scratches after all these times?
Great question, Kenneth! 🙏
No real noticeable scratches to report - though keep in mind I rotate through a lot of watches so this isn’t always on my wrist.
You may wish to see the condition for yourself in my latest collection update video, during the viewer question answering towards the start:
ruclips.net/video/plMlPUoeo3E/видео.html
@@goatreviews it's so tempting to do the mod but I am forever bashing my watch face against things 😞
Too true, @leewmlee ! In that case, the resin case might be more appropriate. While the metal ones are scratch resistant, you do still have to be mindful.
I prefer mine without any mods and it's much lighter that way.
Thanks, Cm197it! That’s a very reasonable decision. The default strap and bezel are very lightweight, comfy, and look great!
I buy the titanium mod kid it's nice and is not heavy at all
Thanks for weighing in,@@amastal1! 🙏
I couldn’t agree more, the Titanium straps are nice and lightweight.
Although it wouldn’t be as light as the default resin strap, we did identify a BIG (2x) difference between the Steel and Titanium upgrade kit weights in another video 😁
I don't see any on AliExpress with the G-Shock text on the front.
G’day Heuy! 👋
That’s a really good point, that I should clarify.
A lot of the bezels I purchase often don’t SHOW the G-Shock text in the listing photos, or sometime blur it. I assume this is to do with copyright? However, the ones I’ve bought do still have it printed, unless they specifically state “no text” or similar.
The way I usually tell is by checking peoples photos in the feedback to see if there’s came with the text, or otherwise reading the listing description carefully for clues. As a last resort, you could even reach out to the seller with a direct message to find out for sure 😁
Hope this helps! 🙏 Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for weighing in!
@@goatreviews Thanks! I thought it might be something like that. I ordered one so we'll find out in a month or two.
Great video by the way!
Happy to help @@ikonane 😄
So glad you enjoyed the video! Best of luck with the upgrade 👌
Does it compatible with the GWX-5600C?
Great Question, The Hahn!
I have just double checked for you, and can confirm that this model IS listed as compatible with the GWX-5600! The subsequent letters of the model after the 5600 do not affect the compatibility 😁
Thanks for the answer 1 got one laying around with the white bezels and straps and i'm looking for another replacement since it got beat up and yellowing after wear and tear 👌
@@hahn_is_me The PERFECT candidate! 👌
Looks Great but for me I think plastic is all that gives charm to the G-Shock.. I'll stay with it
That’s a fair point, Poetic Smash! 💥
I can totally respect that. On top of it’s appearance, Plastic will generally be lighter and comfier on the wrist.
Thanks for weighing in! 🙏
@@goatreviews Bless you 🙏
Could of just spent a grand on real deal then the kit plus a watch. Dlc coating on real watch is amazing
Thanks for the suggestion, Stevie 🙏
For my needs, I’d prefer the “value” option of doing it this way for now, as the real deal isn’t within reach.
Ooh, awesome 🤩
I can’t wait to experience a DLC coating!
Which model do you have with it?
How much have you bought it?
Great question, Rrchyedg!
I paid about $112 Australian Dollars for the upgrade kit 😁 ($74 USD)
Very happy with my upgrade!
🙏
In the photos on AliExpress I don't see the words g shock and protection
Great point, Mandi! Some listing photos do not show this text on the case, even when they actually include it! (I believe for copyright reasons).
The best way to know for sure is to check the feedback and reviews left by other buyers at the bottom of the page. There you will see the truth as to whether it includes the text or not 😉
Oh my goodness that looks so swish!!!
Cheers Alvin! BTW I love the term ‘swish’…you’re makin’ me feel like a Baller 😎⛹️♂️🏀
It should be interesting so se the coating after a week of wearing… you continuously speak about be careful to do not make scratches, BUT A G-SHOCK doesn’t take in account any kind of care! 😂
Very true, Daniele! The key thing is, so long as it’s not METAL scraping against it, we’re all good (so far).
Looks like it would be really hard to push the buttons.
You’re onto it, Brian! That’s probably my one dislike of this watch. But it’s not often I need to press them, even the backlight can turn on just by raising my wrist!
For times when I need nice, big buttons, I’ll stick to my GD-350 😎
Хороший обзор,классика вечна
Я согласен! Это действительно вне времени, не так ли? Спасибо, Stas!
I did the same with an identical titanium bracelet on a gw5000. Definitely an upgrade!
Please stop saying guys all the time, it’s quite insulting I find.
Thanks for the feedback Cedarcanoe! 🛶
Funnily enough, this topic just came up in an Audiobook I was listening to today! Different parts of the world use different words to address groups of people - the other example was “y’all”.
What other phrases might I consider, to avoid insulting people?

Яка чудова ідея, IBmusic! 🙏 Я хотів би надати нову інформацію про стан цього годинника, який тримається дуже добре! Як ви, можливо, бачили у відео про оновлення моєї колекції, зараз я накопичив ВЕЛИКУ кількість годинників 😅 Тому їх, звичайно, не ношу щодня. У моєму наступному відео про оновлення колекції я детальніше ознайомлю вас із станом цього годинника! 😉
I'm curious how this bracelet looks after a month
Good point Bartosz, perhaps I’ll put the steel strap back on to test this.
Right now I’m wearing the Titanium strap, which has been worn for over 9 months with minimal damage (only the points of direct metal on metal contact). Check out my video on “How I killed my G-Shock” for a full explanation!
Is this real titanium?😊
G’day Expomm, I believe it’s a “Titanium Hardened Steel” Alloy, not pure Titanium but it seems legit! You can check out my other video for a weight comparison between a Titanium and a Steel upgrade kit
@@goatreviews thanks for your reply, that makes sense for the price
The only thing I don't like about the steel band is that stupid writing all over the clasp, it makes it look tacky and cheap AF. They should've put all that writing on the inside of the clasp where it was hidden from view bc it ruins the look imo.
Fair point, Panda. 🐼
Having had the same reservations initially, I will say that in person, it’s a lot more subtle - I really like it!
You made a £100 version look like a £500 version.
Cheers Spike. Yep! It’s one amazing upgrade, that’s for sure. Well worth the investment!
Sadly this particular model is not available in India
Greetings from Australia, Das Babu! 👋
Ah man! I’m sorry to hear that.
What kind of options are most commonly available for you in India?
@@goatreviews only two watches from g shock with multiband 6 available in India one is rangeman another is mudmaster. I have rangeman I think now I am left with only one option that is import.
@@dasbabu7261 Thanks for sharing that Babu. That is a very limited selection indeed. If you think it’s worth it, importing may be the way to go!
This is not steel. This is alloy, it is not magnetic. Like all such sets.
Interesting!… Thanks for pointing that out, Акула. I’ve been calling it ‘Steel’ as per the information on the listing!
They don't ship to Germany !!!!
WTF........?
Ah man! That’s a shame 😔
@@goatreviews
Yeah , but in the meantime since writing the comment , I've found a shop that does send to Germany. I can't wait for it to arrive, am totally exited.....
I've read in the comments that there is a Bluetooth sign on the case......
I didn't see it in your video. Where is it.
Best regards
Frank
@@frankschroth4038 Excellent! Glad you found one.
The small Bluetooth icon can be found at the bottom of the clasp - check the “Epic Results” chapter at the end of the video for a visual 😀
@@goatreviews oh on the bottom of the clasp is OK since you can't see it right away.
Last question ...
Since doing your mod and wearing it did the colour scratch of somewhere?
Thx
Frank
@@frankschroth4038 No worries Frank. No wear on the steel bezel so far! The only Colour that has scratched off was on the Titanium version - which I wore for 9 months, that the wear has been areas that contact other metal, such as the links near the clasp
To hard . I just use a regular steel kit
Thanks for weighing in, Richard! 🙏
To clarify - what is the step that appears the hardest, compared to the regular steel kit?
That watch band is wicked tacky looks like an advertisement board
Thanks for Weighing-in, RC Gambler!
TBH that’s a thought the exact same at first too (along with some people I showed the pics to before the build)! That changed for all of us after seeing it in person. The details end up being a lot more subtle, so doesn’t come off as tacky in person (thankfully) 😁
Why does RUclips recommend me the channel most hated by Shakira?.
Casio > Rolex! Who agrees?
Maybe it’s time to convert Shakira! ✊⌚️
torpe
¡pero funciona!
Somehow it has too much bling to it... looks like a fake G-Shock, which is half true now.
Fair point, 20Cent! I‘ve had a few people mention the same after seeing it on screen, however they changed their mind once seeing it in person - I find the details are a bit more subtle.
Hello kitten
👀
that’s a chinese copy of the TVA gshock. don’t support companies stealing original designs
Thanks for your feedback
Туговато ремешок подогнал.
Мне он кажется удобным. Кроме того, есть опции «микрорегулировки», позволяющие регулировать длину меньше, чем длина 1 звена ремешка!
wtf are vining about? kwa kwaaaaa kwaa
Sio kunung'unika, furaha sana! Je, ungependa nione kama inawezekana nikuongezee manukuu/manukuu ya Kiswahili kwenye vudeo kwa ajili yako, tZe_vitamin?
The ad before your video starts with this “A young girl was brutally raped and killed… its a disgusting political ad that is based on fear of immigrants
Oh my! I had no idea these types of ads were running on RUclips, let alone on content of mine related to modding watches.
Thanks for letting me know. 🙏
I’m not keen on the quick release springbars , I’ve never used one so don’t know much about them but it looks to me like there’s a possibility of it snagging on my arm and releasing itself , I prefer the good old fashioned design. If it ain’t broke , don’t fix it😉👍
Fair point, Gazzie! I will say from experience that I have never had an issue with them - never even felt the springbars on my skin let alone have them come undone. I suppose they are recessed far enough for it to not be an issue.
That being said, it would be nice to trade off that small amount of convenience for extra security! They provide you with a spring bar tool anyway, so might as well 🤷♂️
@@goatreviews if I’m honest , since you say they are quite well recessed and you’ve never had an issue then I might give it a go since I do think the case and strap look smart and I suppose if the watch did fall off then it’s hardly gonna break😂
No worries @@gazzcw1 ! I just had a look under my watch from the front, and there’s no way the springbars are gonna touch my skin. You won’t regret it!
Never had an issue with them. To this day at least! :)
Why the hell would you wear a watch playing volleyball. Makes no sense to me.
Thanks Dirk. I can see why it wouldn’t make sense without watching that other video.
The reason is: Keeping track of the Round Timer, to make adjustments to our strategy!⏱️
