Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this, Voyagers 🫡🙏

Thank you Gigachad! 🙏 Haha, all good. It needed to be said - and honestly Casio needs to address this one! Even if the limitation is to do with the refresh rate of the MIP display, there’s another workaround they could implement that would cut it down from 900 presses to 90! Just make it increments of 1 degree instead of 0.1! 😂 The difference in your coordinates would be so negligible, that it surely wouldn’t affect the Sunset graphs by more than a minute either way. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Yes it does look like one doesn’t it?! 😂 Negative, the Lorus is safely on its way back to RedWyvern! I figured I wouldn’t have enough time to do a full review of it, plus I didn’t want to deprive the owner of his awesome watches for any longer 😉

Good stuff, Jaco! 👌 The LCD is very crispy 😎Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thank you, Suhail! 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed how the modification turned out 😁 I was really happy with it too 👌

thank you for the amazing contents on watches@@goatreviews

Thanks Macro!! 🙏 I reckon the Orange NATO looked absolutely BADASS too... It was such a close call! Black and Grey - now that would look amazing too 🤩💭 Thanks for weighing in 👌

Hi Rene! The owner has explained how it was achieved here: www.watchuseek.com/threads/5503769/

YES! 💯🙌 Thanks you raising these points, Ian! 👌 I noticed the backlight issue as well - Quite annoying indeed! In fact I find this to be the case with MOST Casio's, but having a dedicated backlight button should grant you IMMUNITY from this issue, by operating independently, right?! Man, I did not notice about not being able to retroactively check your steps without the app!... but you're right there too. Just another way for Casio to FORCE us to use the App I suppose 😂 Agree - Other than these nuances it's a great watch - and I am very happy with how the build turned out! 🤩 Hope yours goes similarly well with the NATO Adapters, my friend! 🙏

@@goatreviews I also don't know if you know about the hidden menu yet ? I saw it in a video and its pretty handy ! What you have to do : - press and keep holding top left button - now press and keep holding the lower left button - now give the bottom right button a short press while still holding the other two down. A menu will pop up with some test you can perform on the watch. And my favorite feature ? You can check BATTERY VOLTAGE in this menu ! 🤯 Oh for sure ! This has been my first G shock. And I am in love !!! Up until know I have had a Luminox 5127 (which I sold again, very cool blue tritium !) and a Swatch "sistem soul" (which sadly doesn't work anymore. But I still have.) Now I have been eying the Gshock GWG-1000-A3 👀. And might be buying it in a month or two. Never thought I would consider such a big watch. But I am geeking about all the functions xD

@ianspy1 I only learned about it after asking the owner how he got the cool “G-Shock Logo” screen to show up for my unboxing video of this one! 😁 Super cool, right?! Awesome - I will need to spend some more time playing around with it on my GBD-200, and see if I can check the battery voltage 🔋 All I had a chance to do before I sent the GBX-100 back was set it into the logo screen. And man, I must admit I struggled to press that button combination to get it to work! Thanks for explaining it better, it looks like I was doing it incorrectly 🙏 Oooh, just looked up those models! 👀 Very cool - it’s a shame you sold that 5127! I bet you’re looking forward to the ultra-functional and beastly GWG-1000! 🤩

That’s a fair call, Bruno! I get what you mean about the thickness. Thank you! I’ve no regrets on the silver adapter - though it was a VERY close call with the orange strap 👌 This is a good point, too. You do have to consider the upkeep on a Hydro Modded watch. For me, this makes the ULTIMATE candidate a Tough Solar G-Shock, so I’d never have to open it again 🤩💭 Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this app. I do sometimes wish Apple were a little less restrictive with their apps. Having heard both sides of the ‘Air Bubble debate’, my preference remains to go bubble-less for aesthetic reasons. That is, until maybe one day if I ever face an issue caused by not having a bubble 😁 Thanks so much for weighing in with your well thought-out opinions! 🙏

Thanks for mentioning Gadgetbridge! I Wasn't aware of that alternative yet (while I do use similar apps like Solaar and KDE Connect). I'll keep using the official app for this piece as it works fine, has a good dark theme (unlike Casio Watches) and as Gadgetbridge doesn't support all features. As to why I've done the mods, I picked up this piece right after my GBD-100 got water-damaged after getting it's battery changed at a Casio shop (which I did to make sure it would be done right). This was repaired under warranty with no issue, but I picked up the GBX-100 as I've gotten quite fond of this module, despite the UI issues (which are worse in the newer, fancier variants, along with using a worse app). Only, this new GBX-100 got moisture behind it's gasket immediately, so I decided to just attempt the mod and see how it goes, documenting it online for other brave watch owners. The answer is disastrous, hence the need for the polariser replacement and replacing some bumpers and gaskets with 3D printed ones. The backlight colour filter change worked better with the original polarisers, where the contrast was more like the original piece. The NATO was added as the original strap didn't fit my skinny wrist and as originally it had a strong cigarette smell (which has off-gassed since). I tried jamming it in the 16mm slots to see how well that works, intending to 3D-print adaptors down the line. Which I didn't do as it was already on the second hole with this length taken out and felt comfortable to wear.

@@goatreviews I'm a bubbleless fan too, but, you know, let's see the good side of what we have! So... Go bubble, go! 🤣 For the hydromod on a solar model, there is a little chance to have to change the accumulator. It has never occured at me for now (and I own some solars from 10+ years), but it could happen...

@@WyvernDotRed pal, really, you are out of luck with Casio watches! I've never had water or moisture even in 80's models, and I change the battery by myself... But, all in all, you have done a good work! And thanks for the explanation, now it all makes sense 💪🏻

Love it, always good to look on the bright side 😁 Oh man - I hope not! Finger crossed it's a one-and-done solution with no complications 🤞

Bubble literally just barked - I'd like to think it's in recognition of your comment ✊ Hope you had a great Christmas, my man! 😁👌

Fair judgement, Paul! I like that you had a favourite even as someone not a fan of NATO's .🙏 The black adapters with the Bond strap is a MINT combo! 👌

Hi Jalal, I showed a few different NATO strap options off in this video. All 3 of them have been linked in the video description for you! 🙏 Hope this helps.

Hmmmm, that could be a cool mod to do! 🤔💭 I’d consider having a look on AliExpress, it’s where I find most of my mod parts.

@goatreviews I was looking for the side screws, the ones that get visible when you are wearing the watch. Can't find it anywhere. Might paint them matte black with some metal paint :) thanks for having a look.

@@Mamajakas Oh! I’m sure they’d have the Side Screws too. These are the ones I used for my MR-G build (they are gold but also have black): geni.us/GOLDSCREWS Ideally you’d want to avoid painting them black, as it would wear off quite easily. In fact, even the properly coated ones will scratch off if you aren’t careful when unscrewing them 😁

​@@goatreviewsPerfect, thanks!😊

No I hadn't... but NOW I HAVE! 😂 Hmm, what seems like a fair target to aim for? Maybe $9,000,000 in compensation sounds fair for 900 presses... 😜

I just noticed that Tim actually wore off the corrugated texture on the button.

@@WyvernDotRed I can’t tell if this is a joke or not… So I have mixed feelings 🥲 I sincerely apologise if my button-mashing has genuinely worn down the surface of the button. But at the same time - that is also kind of an impressive and hilarious feat! 🤣

Fair call, Unlucky! 👌 The 5600 series offers fantastic value and features, without the need for the additional "Tide Moon Sun". I feel that! 🙏

@@goatreviews yea it's crazy how it's only $50 on Amazon

Cheers Jayson! 👌 Very happy with this one 😁

Thanks for weighing in, Bill! 🙏 I tend to agree - but it’s DAMN close with that orange one 🤩

Great idea, thanks for the suggestion! 💡🙏 You can indeed choose NOT to use Bluetooth to save on battery power. This is what I do with my GBD-200 😁👌
