I just got mine today (MTGB3000D1A9) and set it up via Bluetooth , I appreciate this video because I don’t want to totally rely on my phone to 11:33 access functions , thanx ! I like the quick connect band for cleaning purposes if nothing else , I am really happy to add this one to my collection ! .. subscribed !
Great video. Thanks. Im wondering is there a way to lock or block the quick release so that we dont accidentally press it and lose the watch by accident or theft?
Good review. I still don't like the color options of the b3k but I the overall design of this one is more refined than its predecessors. The b2k looks over designed and silly imo. Thanks for posting.
Are there any aftermarket straps or bracelets available now? Because you’re right, I don’t see the benefit of the quick release if there are no other options to replace it with.
Eventhough I think analog is no longer relevant these days, to use those timer/stopwatch features. I think this is gonna be my next watch. could be my end game watch. I just love the look, so cool and manly. Currently wearing Gshock G steel gst300, which is smaller brother.
For enthusiasts of all things watches such as myself, analog is never irrelevant and I think it should never be regardless. There's a difference in reading vs perceiving time and analog is more appropriate for the latter. I'm still waiting for a gshock that does both analog timing functions and quad sensors for all my adventures -- now that's an endgame watch for me
@@chrisbarbz9238 regardless whatever I said, I already bought the MTG B3000 (all black version). Love the analogue style, more manly and rugged. Although I might not be using the stopwatch or timer functions (just use phone). Wore it during hiking to summit mountain Kinabalu, Malaysia. Awesome and cool looking watch. The urethane strap fits my small wrist better than standard Gshock 6900. Note: might be a problem for some people, the hour minute dials are in grey colour, a bit hard to see.
I also need to clean the glass regularly due to the narrow bezel offset, compared to the standard Gshock 6900. The watch is super nice in real life, reflecting the lights in different colours
@@barberismeable Nice. I just happen to see one at my nearest dealer today. They are nice indeed. And yeah the all black dial could be problematic but it is really cool. I had the new Seiko 5 diver in all black and had to return it because I couldn't see the time in low light e.g. when watching tv with lights off. At least this Casio has a backlight. Still contemplating on what color to get although the red and green ones aren't so bad actually. The colors are very subdued until direct light hits it. I might get the red one and just sandblast the heck out of the color on the strap.
@@smoothoperator-hy8gb @qaching not sure if you bought already but I just bought mine and I am an adult make and I have very very tiny wrists and it fits fine for me.
I’m so torn on this watch. I don’t really like metal bracelets usually and I’m not a huge fan of the Color’s on these. I like the red dial but I don’t like the purple looking links. I like the blacked out version on the rubber strap but it’s probably super hard to read as the hands are also black. If the red dial came with a rubber black strap I’d buy it right away
Hello do you mean set the time like a conventional watch Mmmm yeah I missed that lol typical me Please check my A1000 frogman video from couple days ago it looks very similar to that Looks like from instructions the only difference is the hands move to noon and the crown moves em like regular watch with year month etc to follow after pressing bottom left Thanks for stopping by and asking I just checked the second hand moves to 12 the hour minutes stay put but move together so almost exactly as froggy But I'll do a video on this for you soon hopefully as it might be of interest to the few :)
@@wildaboutwatches no I mean handshift, the function that put the hands out of the way, like that you're able to read the sub dials easily. On the MTG-B2000 for exemple you can do that by pressing the up left button (A button) and the hour and minute hand go to a position that is letting you read the subdials.
@@MrDimibass annoyingly I don't think you can which is ridiculous tbh I've looked as want to do that too lol My froggy does it easily Thank you for clarification ☺️
i love b2000. 1. upper right button move the hands out of the way. 2. it used the g shock app. 3. its much easier to see the time 4. hex shape face. 5. cool down carbon on the back of the watch
No u can't. You can only set the timer and clock. Also other special features.. sad thing is, I just tested manual hand adjustment function in the app. I'm not sure how it actually, when i hit left it goes right, i hit right it went left.. but in the end I managed to set the dial nicely on the date area. Sad .this watch made in japan. Should be accurate

I am so disappointed this model has only one alarm. I use all 5 alarms on all my Casio watches and it seems a tradeoff which is very hard for me to make... but having everything in analog view, so, so tempting as well.
The description says it's a replacement for the b1000 and b2000. I don't think this is necessarily true. In my humble opinion gshock makes variants, not better versions which would make the previous models obsolete. Beside a mtg, I own different gsteels (b100, b200 and b300) and must say one isn't better per se than the other, just different. 😎 That's genius, unlike your older smart apple/android watches
How do I do what you asked lol if someone wants to discount a watch please tell me lol It's mine I bought it must be mad lol One day I'll do a state of collection and show em all off lol got a few now.
The analogue froggy I got from dealer paid full price unfortunately lol got 6 g shocks 6 rollies plus the fifty fathoms and got another different brand on way watch this space
@@wildaboutwatches I almost bought the frogman but the ability to only set the tide graph through the app kind of threw me off and I like the fact that it doesn't actually have a depth sensor..
I see you missed some secrets. Here is one for the boys: If you hold the light button long enough it will switch between the world time and home time and it will do a crazy swirl show for you

Pleasure and thank you
awesome video by the way. I could not find other run-through videos on features of B3000. Thanks
I just received mine. trying to figure it out I’m excited
Thanks a lot 😅 the uk is bloody sunless 😢 solar battery is not a good option then! Those rubbery things are fiber carbon material for strengthening
Great video. Thanks. Im wondering is there a way to lock or block the quick release so that we dont accidentally press it and lose the watch by accident or theft?
Awesome REVIEW, thank you. buying it asap.
Pleasure and hope you enjoy yours it’s a beauty
Great video, do you know how to set RC manually, instructions say hold D button but this doesn't do anything.
Good review. I still don't like the color options of the b3k but I the overall design of this one is more refined than its predecessors. The b2k looks over designed and silly imo. Thanks for posting.
I only liked this option tbh thank you for stopping by
How can I check if the rc works on my mtg b3000?
Are there any aftermarket straps or bracelets available now? Because you’re right, I don’t see the benefit of the quick release if there are no other options to replace it with.
maybe u can go custom leather band...
Pls, does it have alarm sound?
thank you for sharing this very good video. what is the battery life on this model please?
As long as sun or light available occasionally it'll last indefinitely but in darkness its something like five months before sun needed again
Thank you for watching and posting comment happy to hear you enjoyed video
Is there any benefit to using the RC feature, as with Bluetooth it looks like it syncs several times a day.

could this fit on a 6.2 inch wrist?
can you remove enough segments of the band for a 6.2 inch wrist?
Hey Hey, did you buy this watch? My wrist is very small and I'm afraid it wont fit.
@@smoothoperator-hy8gb @qaching not sure if you bought already but I just bought mine and I am an adult make and I have very very tiny wrists and it fits fine for me.
Will this watch fit on 6inch wrist? I want to buy it but Im afraid that my wrist is too small.

From the future: Looks like you’re in luck! MTGB3000-1AJF
Hi, nice review, thank you, just one question, is there à handshift function on this model?
Hello do you mean set the time like a conventional watch
Mmmm yeah I missed that lol typical me
Please check my A1000 frogman video from couple days ago it looks very similar to that
Looks like from instructions the only difference is the hands move to noon and the crown moves em like regular watch with year month etc to follow after pressing bottom left
Thanks for stopping by and asking
I just checked the second hand moves to 12 the hour minutes stay put but move together so almost exactly as froggy
But I'll do a video on this for you soon hopefully as it might be of interest to the few :)

@@MrDimibass annoyingly I don't think you can which is ridiculous tbh
I've looked as want to do that too lol
My froggy does it easily
Thank you for clarification ☺️
that is insanely ridiculous for Gshock to remove handshift feature. My cheaper g steel also can do@@TonyHobbs
Can I buy a nato strap for this one? I couldn’t find any aftermarket bands that use this push button quick release system.
I doubt it
i love b2000.
1. upper right button move the hands out of the way.
2. it used the g shock app.
3. its much easier to see the time
4. hex shape face.
5. cool down carbon on the back of the watch
Can you see the stopwatch in the app? Can't on the MT-G B1000, so hard to tell the count on that.
No u can't. You can only set the timer and clock. Also other special features.. sad thing is, I just tested manual hand adjustment function in the app. I'm not sure how it actually, when i hit left it goes right, i hit right it went left.. but in the end I managed to set the dial nicely on the date area. Sad .this watch made in japan. Should be accurate
How durable is the pvd coating?
I had to look that up
No scratches or marks yet but I wear various watches so it's not on me 24/7. Probably pretty decent though I'd imagine
don't worry. My cheaper gsteel gshock coating still good like new after 3 years everyday
hello, what is the power reserve?
5 months without access to light
Know how to change the battery on a MTG-B2000? =)
Can someone enlighten me? Why would be the benefit of having bluetooth connection watch-phone to set the timer/ stopwatch?? Just use the phone only!

That's genius, unlike your older smart apple/android watches
that Frogman at the end also has just one alarm?
I have the silver & gold version and the bracelet is very poor, they really cheeped out on this
did you buy this one or did you find it on a trade deal to make the vid on? (sponsored). ect.
uve a ton invested. that frogmans expensive!
How do I do what you asked lol if someone wants to discount a watch please tell me lol

long press B - switch Home and World time
That was painful.. I couldn’t finish
I see you missed some secrets. Here is one for the boys: If you hold the light button long enough it will switch between the world time and home time and it will do a crazy swirl show for you
I had to sleep outside after buying my MTG too. 😞 🤣🤣🤣
Kidding of course. Just ordered the b3000 aurora… and now I’m just loading up on b3000 vids to my satisfaction, until it lands! 🤣
