Finally, a smartwatch that its a watch and not a wristphone

Now THIS is how to do a watch review. No irritating music , no mumbling, no repeated pleas to 'like and subscribe,. Well done. Just pre-ordered one. I also just got a gbd h1000, which is almost the same watch, just in a different form and with GPS & HRM. Looking forward to getting my gbx100 and I'll keep my eye on your channel for more tips.👍🏻

Casio should use this display for all their future watches.

gshock straight up killing it this time with a lot of new addition to their line. it makes me want to start buying em again

This Module together with Tough Solar an a 5600 Bezel would be the perfect watch! Love the Tide Graph stuff, nice to Look at.

Hopefully they'll release a tough solar version.

I love all the G-lide line of Casio watches, the moonphase and tide chart are very useful water activities like fishing or surfing, and the water protection is a plus too

My favorite watch. Initially purchased for display. But found, especially in hot weather, that light weight and breathability of strap make it a must wear.

Thank you Sir!! It's definitely at the top of my "FATHER'S DAY GIFT" list...

A hybrid watch. The old-time case and G-Shock feature set going back to 1983 combined with a modern fully-addressable display as found in a smart watch. Nice!

Gonna pick one of these up to help me keep track of the tides and moon phases when I'm out surf fishing. Your hands are always occupied so this makes a lot of sense even though people say the features are gimmicky

Best video ive seen on this watch. Nothing worse than these influencers on YT trying to sell us a product without an honest thorough review.

If the bezel was gun metal like it looks in the thumbnail it would look even more badass

I'm getting one when they make an all black version

Great detailed review! The few cons don't dissuade me, I will enjoy the large, clear display, big light button, tide info, step counter, and I'll probably even use the phone finder more than I care to admit. This is the Casio under $200 that I've long awaited.

There's a lot of positive. The watch is beautiful to look at. The MIP display is something I've been waiting for Casio to put on a watch since like 2014 when my coworker showed me his Pebble (remember pebble?) for clarity, viewing angle, low light viewing, etc. And tbh I assume this will be something Casio adds to MORE watches in the future, because there's too much "crap" on this one. Maybe surfers want a tide graph and workout counter etc; I'd just want solar/mb6/led backlight/5 alarm/cdt/basic WATCH functions with the good display. LIke if they made my G9300 Mudman with a MIP display, I'd buy it now. Still, sorry to bitch. The watch rules. I can't wait to see more MIP displays. It's awesome.

Best watch review ever. And have looked and reviewed to many to count. Clear and uderstandable. Will choose this watch for mysel. Needed to learn everything. You gave it to me, Concise and smoothly. Phoenix Guy

i really hope that in a few years they can get to the point where this quality of screen can fit in an a168 style watch. really my only gripe with my a1000d is that the screen doesnt particularly fit the aesthetic of the rest of the watch.

I believe the notification is simply meant to show that you have a new notification on your phone, so you can check the notification on your phone. There's only so much you can do without touchscreen and just 4 buttons. I don't really see that as a con. I think the notifications in apple watches are a gimmick, the screen is just too small to read texts, my brother has an apple watch and he never checks notifications on the watch, just pick the phone up an check it there. Everybody in my school has an apple watch but i don't like it, i prefer to stick with normal watches

I think this might be watch of the year.

I wish there was an ABC model square like this that was solar and Bluetooth.

my god this is the perfect youtube channel for me! I am a huge sucker for casio and gshock watches. Keep up the good work man! you have a knack for these reviews! I look forward to more from you!

Thanks for run through. I have a Garmin with a similar display and it's so much better than a negative display 5600 i used to own. I have a positive display 5610 right now and have sometimes thought that Casio need to "get with the times" and move to these kinds of transflective displays. Now it's here though I'm not sure if it's lost a bit of charm.. Watch people are fickle!

None of the cons are a deal breaker for me. Still want to get it. On the GBD-H1000, it doesn't have a hourly chime on it either.

Put my preorder in today! Glad I waited a week, went from $270 on eBay to $160 preorder directly from GShock. Thanks for detailed module review !

I wish they would hurry up and release this in Europe !

I would have bought this watch in a heart beat if it has a tough solar. Still, I'm contemplating of getting one. Why can't Casio just put tough solar in it? Sad.

Good range of features for the price, pity about hourly chime and chrono 100th sec missing but for once a negative display you can read, all negative displays should be like this

This is the answer for the smartwatch from G shock.

Best Casio Square yet? what an improvement in all aspects! oh my goodness.

Brilliant video. I bought one 2 weeks ago and this video helped me set it up perfectly for my needs. The watch is superb and very comfortable and easy to view. I fish from the beach in the sea, so the tide function is ace, although I haven't used it yet, it will save me having to check websites for high and low tide times. Like wise when I go birdwatching at the ocean for sea birds and waders. Brilliant.

I just ordered one, now watching the review 😅

this watch is on my watchlist. gonna buy after they arrived in my country. thanks for the review man, superb!

Hope casio release a version with solar. Looks great though and has some useful smart features.

Of course we can't be sure what the designers thought, but the hassle to view notifications can be related to: every "classic" smartwatch is just a tool to decide if you have to take out your smartphone or not, you actually can't do anything more on the watch (generally speaking), so you just decide if it's important enough to take out your phone or not, and that's it.

G Shock made this model to keep on the phase in smart watch trend while maintaining its all condition tool watch for what its brand is known for. BUT still... original standard square g shock that has solar, multiband 6 will remain the badass watch.

Great review, very informative :) I wish they made this watch a bit more of a classic G Shock tool watch but with some extra neat features and a bit less smart watch-y. The step counter and sun/moon/tide options are awesome new editions to the classic 5600 style of watch that Id gladly pay extra for. But just give me those features with a classic simple scroll through with one push of a button to cycle modes. I find myself annoyed that the watch seems to have many bloatware type features and all this menu/settings navigation, and app compatibility most of which just isnt necessary aside from setting tide location and even that could be remedied by just having a simple coordinate input. There needs to be some sort of in between option for people who just want a couple extra features in their classic style G Shock. All features regarding bluetooth should just not be present at all imo and it feels more like a marketing gimmick than anything. Do away with notifications entirely, they clearly suck and it would be far easier, faster and less of a nuisance to just take my phone out of my pocket than use the watch for that. Do away with the time sync, etc. Instead give me the better non-bluetooth, no notifications or smartphone gimmicks battery life and a 6 band time sync, since its just straight up better and works without any finicky efforts. Other than that it seems like an awesome watch concept overall and Im glad theyre putting effort into more unique and technologically advanced options for people who love the reliability and form factor of the classic G Shock but seek some useful extra features, I just think they went a little too far in trying to pack too many new features into an already proven form factor and shouldve stuck with simple tools/fitness features rather than trying to appeal to the smartwatch market. They could easily have made something more along the lines of what I wish this was at a slightly lower price point and then seperately made an actual dedicated smartwatch type design with say some basic touchscreen gestures, bluetooth connectivity w/ app and a host of other features at a higher price point to satisfy that market instead of trying to make both at the same time, because this iteration I dont feel succeeds in either category. Instead it does a little bit of everything but does nothing particularly well. Its too clumsy and bloated with all of its menus and features that arent particularly useful to live up to the basic tool watch design of past 5600 G Shock and lacks enough functionality and ease of use to live up to a true smartwatch design. *Btw as an American I deeply apologize to everyone else on Earth who uses the metric system and day/month/year system. Everything would be simple and uniform globally if we decided to use the objectively better systems. We deserve to be buried 1.8288 meters deep. I dont know why we suck like this, but we do, and Im sorry.

Fabulous watch. I REALLY hope they produce a solar version. European date mode would also be nice.

You Make Such Awesome Videos, Sir!!! You Gave Such A Good, Honest Review Of This Watch's Many Features!!! 👍👍👍

Got my teal version today and its pretty awesome. I live in NC so it didn't take long for Reeds to get it to me.

Good review. The only con for me really is no solar power. Perhaps they'll do that later but it looks like most of the real estate on that display is for info. Most of those functions I won't use. Oh, yes the inability to read a notification quickly stinks too. But I ordered mine 2 days ago. Very excited.

Thanks. Feels like a missed opportunity to make something pebble owners would've loved.

Thanks for the tutorial in your review. Very helpful as I wait for my order to arrive.

I got this few days back, only to realize that it does not have hourly chime. As you said Bummer !!! :)

G-Shock will SMASH with this one. Looks modern, dusplay seems fantastic 👏 and the price... perfect! I have two metal squared ones and love them but they seem old school compared with this one. Thanks for a proper review 🤗👍

great watch, i wish it was solar and atomic multiband 6

it needs solar and multi band 6...

Thanks a lot for the honest opinion! Please keep doing these reviews.

I like it, don't like the lack of hourly chime, hundredths of a second, and the 2 year battery life. If its supposed to be a surfing watch its going to be in the water a lot, one wouldn't want to have to open it up every couple years, or less than two years if you use the training functions. Do you plan to test out the running functions? I wonder how accurate the pace is compared to a GPS watch.

Thank you kindly for posting this. Very helpful info to have pre-purchase!!

At 14:51 you say you cant find a bluetooth indicator, however i can clearly see a bluetooth indication above the ‘S’ abive the ‘DST’. Top left.

It's a gorgeous watch, but the lack of a Solar powered battery makes it kinda underwhelming.

i dont like the silver arround... i prefer it black

Love this watch.. Just got one! Thanks for the nice informative review

this is a very nice channel.. glad i found it

Your'e quite right about this watch. Explanatory review like others shows all the features. I was thinking of getting this model for just two reasons. The MIP visibility (so clear!) and the fact it has a vibe alarm. I am hearing impaired. I have a GD 350 which has the vibration feature, but it isn't very strong after 5 years. I thought the GBX might be better, but you didn't dwell on it. I don't like all the other complicated features, especially if you say the access is complex and somewhat inaccurate. I won't be ordering this one.

My teal one just came in today, worth it! watch looks and feels amazing

While people would whine about solar charging, I think this is a great watch. Everyone lost their marbles when the GG-B100 mudmaster came without solar charging and that watch is very popular.

Almost ordered it! Love the big buttons and all the advanced features for a Square but no solar charging! I can do without atomic clock but solar assures no issues with the battery life for years. Why didn't Casio select to include solar?

Wow what a boatload of features. Very nice review.

I just got this watch. The video was great to help setting it up in addition to the manual. It’s a shame that this is such a high feature watch yet the date can’t be switched around like on my 5600 Square G. The lag is also a bit of an issue. I do like the tide, moon phase and step counter, as well as the MIP display making a negative screen finally readable. Shame it’s not solar but battery swaps every two years isn’t an issue. I haven’t used the app. And I won’t. I don’t really see why I need to create an account when my Mudmaster has an app that’s fast, easy to use and doesn’t need to sign into anything.

Excellent review! It would be great if the app could update the firmware on the watch, perhaps it does?

Love this watch so much I bought one,, eek so excited lol can't wait for it to come.. 😁

THANKS A LOT! great content

Thanks for the review 👍🏻

Enjoyed the video, thanks! Sadly, no hourly chime + no solar = major deal breaker. Couple that with the reported software bugs and lags/sluggishness reinforces the old saying: never buy a v 1.0 something.

when i looked at the manual pdf i think i saw a part that kinda hinted at software/firmware updates through the app, so there may be the possibility for some missing features added and annoyances being fixed hopefully

Thanks for mentioning BT time synching doesnt work in New Zealand. With no multiband transmitter here synching the time via BT is a big deal. I'll wait until Casio correct that and sort the date format too.

That casio looks bombastic. I wish Casio could implement new robotic ring tones as well in its new watches.

Great review. It's strange that they don't show the 100th/s of seconds in the stopwatch after you stop the timing. This would at least give you a bit more precision without needing the display to show it live. I also wonder if a standard square G-Shock combi bracelet would fit this case as they are awesome and I put one on my GWM5610.

Excellent review! Amazing watch. I wish watch had direction (North/South/E/W) or a someway to show the compass. It would have been perfect.

Great review. For me, the array of functionality seems almost overkill, as I can't imagine using quite a few. Also, no solar or Multiband 6. Still, there will be plenty of buyers.

Will definitely buy this, I hope availability is there in future.

Recently got into the Casio rabbit hole after my f91w bit the dust. Got me a g shock square the 5610 with solar and multiband and it's great but this looks so much more modern and stylish. Don't know about the battery life though really sucks they don't have a version with tough solar I'd buy that in a heartbeat

this watch solar and triple-sensor version, will be the best

Nice looking watch. Design reminds a little of my G-7800s. Would maybe buy this if it had solar battery, but there are too many other bummers as you explained. For "smartwatch" needs I still use a low cost Amazfit Bip, which also has a this reflective screen, GPS, etc. but most importantly - one month of battery life between charging.

Very promising, hope they'll get the wrinkles smoothed out over the next couple of years and, if they put out a model with a cleaner-looking bezel, I look forward to getting one.

I got this one Japan version, no solar is 👌, no solar battery is cheap to change

I'd love a Casio with this big TIME, and great negative display. But featuring only time, alarm, and another time zone or two. Simpler, less expensive. I don't want to pay for features I'll never use like bluetooth, step checker, moon phases etc. Battery killers. My suggested simple version would have 3-4 times the battery life.

you can add hourly beep in the beep configuration

Beautiful watch ! Beautiful screen ! BUT No european format for date ( very disappointing, i have gshock and get confused easily) No easy access to mssgs (what is the point of having such feature if it is not useful)

Great review thank you

There are apps that allow the user so set an hourly chime. So not having this option on the watch is not that big of a problem.

could you please double check if the the hourly chime as well as the option to change the language and date settings to european standard are really absent in this watch? I can't really believe that. Thanks in advance!

Will wait for the solar version until then skip.

Considering selling my casioak for this, love it!

Thanks man now im down connected with my app & phone

Battery is the issue. Should have been a tough solar

You should check out positive displays. Way clearer.

Great review, thanks heaps.

Is this watch protest rated tuff? How about surface virus retetion peroid?

put tough solar in it and it will be perfect..

Not being a solar watch is a real killer for me 😕

This module in Frogman case with solar option. Would be my dream watch.

Clearly the Bluetooth logo in top left hand corner

Looks great but no tough solar - Deal breaker.

Thanks for your two videos about this new model, and for pointing out the cons as well as the pros. If you select a port in the Southern Hemisphere, does the moon phase graphic flip horizontally (left for right) as it should? If not, this is a con for those living south of the equator. Models from 2010 like the GWX-5600 and GW-9110 do have the option to set the moon phase orientation for Southern Hemisphere locations.

Really wish it had tough solar

Another great video. Thanks. A lot of cons, but that display is salubrious. Things like the chime and the overly long access to notifications really do seem like a missed opportunity. Pity. I still think I'll buy it and user it for a year or two.
