One watch to rule the world!!
Trieu Nguyen over 1100 $ !! This is insane !! 😅
@@hamadalrowaie6882 It's like $400 now. Time to get one.
@@blizziar am selling it for that price on ebay. Dbsanman305
This is the Patek Philippe Nautilus of the G-shock world. This isn't just for fanboys, it's the opposite, it's a watch that anyone can wear, and will definitely get attention.
@guess what WATCH SNOB DETECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@cordero6960 He is right though. The MR-G is upwards of 7000 bucks
It looks a bit like the Nautilus.
This must be heavy af tho, do u think girls would love to wear it? lmao
@@machigiceb7788 I know a girl who wore one, she once smack her ex with it, I don’t think the guy was able to make it
I’m joking, lol
No such thing as a "made in Japan" model. This model is exclusively built at the Yamagata facility in Japan along with GW5000 and other high end G'S! Awesome watch!
What about the USA Casio one is that not made in Japan ? It’s got a different serial
@@josephjoestar5444i think the serial number just denotes the market they are sold in, or intended to be sold in.
Badass!!! Looks like it's ready to transform into a Liquid Metal TERMINATOR!!!!
Awesome comment
I am a Seiko guy and never liked the G-Shock designs until I saw this... Had to buy it, along with my SKX this is my everyday watch.
This is EXACTLY how I'd want my watch to look like.
This is by FAR (in my opinion) the best looking G Shock ever made.
That price though - a bit too much for what it is.
I just found and bought a gold one with black display. Been searching for it since the launch and have been in multiple countries. Out of all places found it while passing through Vienna Airport! Cost me 480Euro duty free. Super happy.
I'm a Rolex and AP guy. And I think G-Shock are so cool. I ordered a GA-100 in blue with orange underside. I saw it on my friends wrist and said, Where's your datejust. He said "I bought this on my last cruise" Now I got my eye on a GST -130 with brown leather strap. These G-shocks are cool. Casio should make there GST's case look like Royal Oak's with the movement look like RM. with there own twist on it of course. This GMW-B5000 is the coolest. Great vid.
Its awesome that while you wear some of the most respected Swiss luxury out there, you can wholeheartedly appreciate the Japanese digital end of the spectrum
That looks like a phenomenal watch. Casio has always been tops for digital watches, in my book. Ever since the calculator and trigraph watches of my youth.
Agree
Bought it today. My first G shock. Looks and feels amazing. I’m in love with this full metal square.
I picked one of these up based on this review - it's a really nice piece and the quality is excellent.
Thanks again for the great videos, Bruce 👍🏻
I’m not into digital watches , but this one is really beautiful 🔥
Digital Watches rule.
I didn’t like G-Shocks because it’s pretty, I like it because it’s just different, it’s unique
holy moly thats a freaking badass watch. I like how G-Shock chose this particualr variant over any other variant. A pure digital , non analogue varaint keeping it honest and pure on what they stand for. They really know their fans. Wish I only had little more budget to spare.
I can sell you mine for $200. You really seem to love it but I have many other watches I wear over this one. Let me know if you're interested.
@@ZeginMakesMusic hey friend you still got full metal? I'm interested in purchasing it from you
got mines 2-3yrs ago. wear it every day to work. got alot of scratches to it! love it
How bad scratches look ?
Just bought one of these tonight, very excited to receive it. It’s my first g shock
Thank you BW. Your video made me jump off and buy this model & im soo happy i did.
Got myself one last October 2019 and have worn it practically everyday for half a year now though i have to say it sometimes is annoyingly heavy, but def enjoy wearing it. Also, you'd be surprised the attention it gets and is also a conversation starter. I totally forgot my other swiss watches. Totally worth every single cent. For me the design and the idea behind it would make this model an instant classic.
"Full Metal Square" = the coolest watch name ever.
No it’s not
Man, thanks for this review. I was buying Casio's before the G-Shock was introduced. Yes, and I used them as a Wildland Firefighter (Smokejumper). I remember when one of my crew-members brought in an absolutely new 1st edition G-Shock in like 1980 or so. I thought it was too big! So I kept wearing my cheap F91W-1 version for several more years. I went through a lot of these as they kept getting torn off my wrist hiking through California brush fields. I'm talking extreme duties here (Chainsaw work, days on end, parachuting and landing in trees, and packing a 100 lbs on my back for 10 miles or more. I even took one to Australia and dove it down to 110 feet with no problems. This was the F91W-1 watch, not G-Shock. I just bought my first G-Shock about 2 years ago and took it out to a fire this last summer in Montana. I got the count-down mission version. It does everything my old watch did but has the "mission timer and UTC times". Great watch! But seeing this new "Full Metal Jacket": Yes, you just saw this name used here first and yes I should get a free complimentary "Full Metal Jacket" watch from Casio for my service, I'll send my address to Casio" I'm impressed. Keep up the good work. I also wear my Tudor Blue Pelagos golfing twice a week. I call it my Golfagos.
Great comment, thanks for sharing

You're a smoke jumper?? You win the manliest man prize brother
Respect to all emergency workers and caregivers. My father in law was a Firefighter, he's now retired. Keep the good work. I have the Mudmaster GWG-1000, don't know if the smokejumpers as you yourself also wear this watch like in the G-Shock commercial.
OH God Casio needs to mass produce this. Make this a permanent line.
i think they are. its just some of the market have not receive it yet. As i know, only 3 models out of all 4 metal will be released in limited quantity - TFC (DLC) and TFG (Gold), and Kolor colab. but oh damn... the satin finish reminds me of terminator!
I have a DW 5600 that I coated in matt black steel with old patina, after three years there is no scratch, it looks fantastic at a much lower price.
G-Shock aficionados of the world rejoice!
Good: brick pattern, bigger buttons (I am particularly happy about this), screw-back, GW-5000 module.
Wait to see: is this going to be a scratch magnet? Those polished end-links...hmmm.
Ah, thanks for that info, Alaska Steve.
That is the classiest casual watch I’ve ever seen
Such a relief to see that both watches were set to the same time (to the nearest second).
Both use the radio sync to atomic time. I love that!
The watches also check via Bluetooth>WiFi>Internet for Casio Japan's own atomic time provider if you're not near an atomic clock radio-signal (when the watch checks it's own time, 4 times a day). There's a few apps on the store that one can use if they're not near a broadcasting atomic clock too (which I haven't tested as I live near one).
I'm a g shock fan. And when i watch your video about this G Shock, it's superheavy cool.
Pretty sweet! I would have preferred fully brushed finish.
Agreed. Stainless is gonna be a bitch to keep clean!
Couldn't agree more!
Yes. That is the only thing that I dislike about the watch. But it's just a minor thing for me.
Heart of Texas Armory =
Maybe they will bring a brushed version out. Think one with a negative display would give a nice contrast also. We'll wait and see.
The finishing is exquisite...the bracelet is at par with any mid to high range watch...
Wowsers! They've literally made my perfect G-Shock. I love my Gs. For me it HAS to be a tough solar and HAS to have atomic timing. My daily is a 5610 which has both these features for a crazy cheap price.
This one just looks absolutely stunning! Bluetooth. Brick pattern. BEAUTIFUL finish and look. Tough solar and multi band 6. My goodness grief.
I I ever have the spare cash to get one of these I'm getting one. Easy decision.
For 500 dollars retail, that is an amazing watch! Maybe after the hype passes, it will be a great purchase. For 1000 dollars, i dunno. It looks great tho. The size is also perfect. Congrats on the purchase bruce, its a keeper.
Hadn't found your page yet when you posted this video but it's awesome to go back and watch it! I got crazy lucky on mine, my local AD got one and he's got a crazy high end shop with all the luxury brands and a few g shocks, and luckily I swooped it up in time. He had no idea what the watch was at all and thought it was a standard model, he even gave me a 20% off discount 😳 anyways I'm still loving mine and I hope you are too!
Also scored the black one with negative display when it came out, the metal square is awesome!
Just bought my gw50001jf a week ago. OMG. May be the greatest non automatic watch ever made. And i give credit to the careful considerations to every single aspect of that watch, especially the dlc coating and the choice of rubbers around the stainless steel. What a supremely comfortable watch. Feels like a thousand dollar watch at only 350 usd. Deal of the century imho. If this was wholly dlc coated, i would buy it, but pure ss, is not as comfortable.
This is my first casio g-shock watch. Not a fanboy btw... never tell people what they should or should not wear/buy.
That metal square G has replaced the PP Nautilus as my new grail watch!
mechmove i also love luxury watches but beileve me this casio don’t even look like a cheap digital watch. Looks and feels so good.
Simple, reliable and classy. The best of three worlds.
Oh my! Absolutely gorgeous watch, I can't stop drooling, must have!!
This is the Casio answer to Patek Phillipe's Nautilus. I think this is even better
Comment stealer 😂😆
love my blacked out one. The Display was my worry, but hell no, it's all just gotten better!
Metal feel from a square...
Nice .
It would be 100 % perfect if it had sapphire crystal.
Now that would be awesome....
This is my favorite video of the silver GSHOCK - quality film and super enthusiastic sperg
would love a matte sandblasted surface. this is the PERFECT g-shock
I love my mudmaster, but this full metal watch is just pure sleekness and style. Love the metal finish and the old school watch style. It's stylish and retro and sleek all wrapped up in one package. Santa knows what I want for Christmas. If he doesn't I'll let him know it's this watch.
Wow! I am getting this beauty as soon as I pick up my jaw from the floor!
This is the best video I've seen about this watch so far. Kudos.
Thanks Gary
Being made of plastic was the one thing keeping me from buying a G-shock. I might get this one.
One of my most cherished watch!
You can get a kit from Aliexpress to mod the Casio DW5600 into an all-metal watch and including the watch itself spend less than USD 100
The kit was $55, I used it on a GW-B5600 so get the tough solar, Bluetooth for under 200, and it looks way more stylish with minimal text and the white on black LCD.
It is a beautiful G-Shock watch, but with that beauty, I would be nervous to wear it in case it gets scratched.
Hi Bruce it’s the other Bruce, from Brentmillertime! Love your videos just picked up this model and the Eric Haze 40th. Love it! Thanks my brother
2023 still GREAT! I have silver and golden and both are superb for the price ❤
If it comes with some sort of anti scratch protective coating on case and bracelet, to maintain all the shiny goodness it has, I'm in ! 😀
Nope untreated ss
@@BruceWilliams oh well, too late. Bought it, already. 😁 Checking out the gold and the black.
i'm wearing it proudly, cause it looks just awesome and the feel of it
Nice enthusiastic review. I bought one, and I don´t take it off anymore, the rest of my small collection became obsolete. I must say that in my opinion this is a watch for the bigger wrist, because of the stiff first links of the bracelet. With me it is perfect, but if you have a smaller wrist I would go for the one with the rubber strap, ohterwise it looks a bit odd. Back to the 80´s!
This is about time they made these in steel.
a lot of nostaglia for me. I think they did a great job and the price considering the use of all stainless steel is still not too bad. I bought the gold, black and silver versions and they make me smile all the time. Still have the original watch too, have had it for a long time and its still working.
Never owned a g shock , never felt the need . However thought the functionality combined with the fact that it’s a handsome beast may be worth contemplating. Wouldn’t have paid 800 or 1000 bucks but picked one up from an AD here in the uk on a Father’s Day sale for the equivalent of 440 dollars , can’t go wrong ...
Awesome review . Was wondering if this would fit someone with larger wrists? My wrists are 9 inches and I really want this watch !! I fell in love with it the first time I saw it ..
You are right. It looks fantastic.
Hi,
Just bought mine of a German retailer here in Germany for 499€ which is the official price by casio,but man it was hard to get one because they are always sold out. But I don't think they are limited to a certain number. But the prices are nuts on eBay. The only downfall on this watch is the very quiet alarm signal. It wouldn't wake me up. Other than that, it's a great watch.
Frank
Germany
Congrats on your purchase. I will say this watch is for anyone who loves watches. It's so we'll made.
Great Intro ! Man that is a very nice GShock a bit pricey tho at $1000+. I would pay $600 but I still think the classic square is more for me....
Yeah I am shocked at the current price. I wonder if anyone is ordering at $1000
They are not expecting many people to buy it. Only for pure G-Shock fnatics and collectors, and for them Id say its pretty bad ass And they are happy pay that price. Also Im sure unlike its rubber plastic varaint, its value going to increase over time.
It's not a rubber plastic variant, it's a resin, u know a natural substance coming from the tree!
javie banawa ok. My bad
Just the kind of watch that the Full Metal Alchemist needs
For g shock fans like me, this is the definitive watch.
I agree
I disagree. I own two G-shocks, one for work and one for play. I think this is the coolest thing ever. Want one so bad!
The new definition of TANK
Is there a difference between the 1JF and the current 1ER?
Insane cool. Can’t wait for mine to show up. Ultimate fan boy watch for sure.
Random Rob how much did it cost you and where can I purchase one?
24kt on my wrist
Think I bout from “shoppinginjapan” paid $891 shipped.
This metal version band.. can u change the band to nylon?
@@user-tu5tm6kn6k Yes.
Bruce I love your excitement and enthusiasm for this watch. Thank you for sharing :)
Nice watch, thanks for the video. You said ‘awesome’ so many times that it really didn’t describe anything but still, thanks for the review 😃
Just bought one today, a used one, for 250 euros (ca 270 dollars), in very good condition with all accessories.
Just got one by chance! Its 101% pure fun to wear aside from my other swiss watches.
This is my first g shock and my second watch ever
I love that watch, super cool, love the brick pattern nostalgic touch, my only concern is the polished lug/link next to the watch case, would that be a bit too bling for me, maybe not, great video, thanks mate 👍🏻
I just purchased one of these in Australia for $949. I don't consider myself a watch/ g shock fanboy or collector but now I guess I have the bug since today I've also ordered a G-5600E-1 to beat up at work. I plan to wear both watches until they fall apart so the price to me is respectable considering the use and enjoyment I will get out of wearing both.
I've just purchased one with black bezel and resin band, I can't wait to wear it, it is really cool watch.
I got one here in Perth, Australia. Paid AUD 899,00.
This is my aspirational want to. For now I am looking at the GBD200 for jogging but boy o boy I will wait for a special occasion to justify this one!
Super cool watch
I’d like this In pvd with a negative display.
I've always been curious since i bought this watch. Is it the 35th anniversary? If yes, why there's no 35mark like gold version?
I was expecting $200, maybe $500 MAX. Really cool though.
Limited to how many!!...Love your Watch.. I got a full mental G Shock GST-W110, and a GW-M5610...
SUPER COOL!
Its now at Macys along with the gold one at MRSP without the markup
Really nice G-Shock Bruce. I love so many of the G-Shock watches. I feel overloaded they have so many variants. But I'm still looking..I do own just one.
Anyone know the predicted lifespan of the recharging battery? I've heard of 20 years for Master of G. Just wondering what Casio officially say ..... I hope the beeper is a bit louder than the run of the mill resin squares.
This piece is just HEAVY METAL of G's 🤘👊
The only thing that would make it even more awesome for me is if Casio released an all black metal version of it.
I got into g shocks last year and they really are the best
Great review! Have one on order myself (was able to find for the MSRP of $500 thank goodness) and was wondering if you could provide a follow-up video on the durability of this watch. Thanks!
Will do!
@@BruceWilliams Did you make the video yet?
Is it made in Japan?
Has a bracelet very similar to the Cartier Santos, nice watch.
I find the silver steel one much nicer than gold one
I bought the silver one. Don't really like the gold one
I bought the all-metal silver and black models. But, I just sold both of them to purchase the vintage black model. It should be here in a few days, straight from Tokyo.
my g shock lives in my watchbox and is just used to set the time of my other watches. Don't wear it often. This looks awesome and something I would wear regularly but that price is pretty steep....
I wear them camping, sport activites, sleeping, and occasionally during the week to mix it up. I also use them to set my mechanicals
Will wait for a brushed black. Bet it'll be some sort of limited edition though.
It's what the Terminator would wear.
Great review Bruce, as usual. I was able to get 1 in Italy for 449 euros, shipping included...looking forward to receiving it! Best Federico
Casio makes the best digital watches in the world! Everyone needs at least one Gshock in the collection.
I don't just want one I need one!
i had a funny reaction to your video. First impression was " ok cool but kind of lame ". Then i remembered getting my very first G-Shock and how excited i was. I am not going to sell my Fenix 5X but i totally get it! and you have one more sub!
Welcome!
Gold or full metal what do you think?
