I've watched a few reviews on the Casio G-Shock GBD H1000 AND BY FAR you're review is the best , thank you

Compared them side by side at the store, the garmin despite being more "advanced" was harder to program, it felt flimsy and fragile, yes it has a ton more "trekking" stuff, I bought a GShock to ride my adventure bike or get deep in the mountains on my jeep. Casio has never ever let me down in my entire life...the G is a Tank, and its bulky, feels bullet proof, and I know it will outlast any garmin you put against it. And even when they both last up to 16 hours on continuous gps use + hrm, the G Battery can last up to 1 entire year against 50 days on the garmin. My last watch, a Samsun Gearsport was good, but its a true pita to charge it up daily, is not a mobile phone, why should i charge something like that so continuosly? Im in love with the size, the bulletproof feeling and the functions on my G shock, the garmin for me just felt...girly and easy to break

Having used the same solar Casio pathfinder from 2007 with no problems this was an easy buy. 13 years and running strong but I dropped it and the open spring dislodged so time for a g shock. Casio products last forever.

this is an EXCELLENT review! The comparisons to other devices was very very informative. Thank you!

Damn that's big. Love g-shock and love fitness watches, but I think the Garmin Fenix is the best bet as far as tough and rugged goes, plus every feature you could ever need.

Excellent review brother. I'm a big G-Shock fan and have checked many reviews of this model and this is by far the most practical and Informative. Cheers!

YES! The review I’ve been waiting for. Already have mine in pre-order.....

Finally a tough smart watch. Best of all its made by the digital King of watches Casio

Excellent review indeed! The indoor cycling aspect really does throw up the problem of the calculation of calories. Casio needs to address this problem urgently. The HR function works just fine for me and compares most favourably with the Heart Strap readings on my Indoor Bike.

Excellent review! I just got my GBD-H1000 the other day and I was having the darndest time figuring out how to start it for a simple bike ride! Thanks for clearing it up!

I was going to buy one but, I will wait it out till they fix up the problems.It's their first watch of this type and the design and functionality is pretty good, proud of them. Also I wish they gave the watch a music feature, nothing too crazy just a play button🤣🤣

Excellent review, thank you! I fully agree this is Casio's first attempt also with using GPS after huge Rangeman, so I think even more amazing things are coming for Casio, but time is running as not just watchmakers say and competition is definitely not asleep so Casio might loose some of the momentum.

Best review in a long time. Keep it up! :)

Man... this is the G-shock that should have came out before the Garmins had a chance in this market my Garmin VVA4 sees drops in HR during strength training. I would need to take it off and wipe the sweat off both wrist and watch

Outstanding review. The one I have been waiting for. Thank you!

Who are the 62 idiots that did not like this review?? - it was incredibly detailed and totally backed by evidence data. Awesome review, well done, great work!

wow, a very comprehensive detailed review, didn't imagine I would find something like this as all the other reviews are just unboxing videos. Has the software been updated and improved since your review?

Best review of this watch I've seen until now. Thanks for posting.

I've been waiting for your review of this device. Thank you.

Thank you. Best smart watch reviewer. Love the effort, videos and edit are great.

Love the review, in-dept and informative but didn't get boring after 5 minutes!

Hey mate! I always come to your channel to look at the latest fitness watches' or bands' reviews and somehow I feel like I can trust your opinions on them :). Thanks for the excellent videos and keep up the good work!

I just bought this time piece and patiently waiting for it in the mail. KUDOS ON THE GREAT REVIEW! it give me a better sense on what to expect from the watch.

Thank you very much for reviewing and comparing the app metrics, I find this very helpful. With the new casio coming out wanted to see the move app comparing it to garmin. I'll wait for the new comparison. I can imagine the work you do on the review and wanted to take some of my time to say I appreciate it. Thank you!

thank you for the review. you touched on all the right points for us to make a choice.

So I have been using the watch for a few days so far and I've noticed that when you go into training mode if you are not going to move from a location, it will only count calories based on the accelerometer. When I'm doing strength training the calories barely go up, when I run on a treadmill or do cardio or fast exercises that require arm movement, they start going up at a decent rate. I don't know how accurately it is, but at least it's something. Hopefully they start improving the software and implementing new stuff

If Casio and Samsung teamed up for a G-Shock smart watch I would throw my money at them.

I like the physical appearance and color combination of this watch than any other G shock i have seen so far, Nice video, well explained 👍

In-depth research and knowledge on the G-Shock fitness watch. The execution of design and software development are interesting compared to competition brands. The cult of G-Shock is more appealing than other major fitness brands.

Amazing review! Keep this content and you'll grow big in no time! Subbed!

Amazing video, this is the best review of g squad i have seen so far.

A MESSAGE TO CASIO: this man gave you really good information about your product and its flaws (that can be changed by software updates). Use it to improve your product. Really nice review. Thanks for the work and effort in your reviews Desfit.

Really good review explaining all details… convinced me enough to order this watch! Now waiting for delivery and looking forward or start working out with that😎 Thanks!

Excellent review. Great editing and camerawork. Subcribing!

I’m such a big G Shock fan but I’m gonna wait for the next gen G Shock smartwatch. But for now I’m still gonna enjoy my mud masters

This is the most interesting Casio G-Shock watch ever made. Every function I need and want in one watch. Perfect, kind of. If I wasn't so deep into the Garmin Connect universe (been using the Forerunner 235 WHR since 2016) I'd get this G-Shock immediately. Very interesting to see that GPS performance and calorie calculations are way off compared to the tested Garmin devices.

You were born for this bro.

Watch just got in today.Thanks brother for the breakdown. Hella helpful. Hope G-Shock takes your advice and makes the proper adjustments.

thank you so so so much for going into such granular detail with this!

Thats a great review. Thanks Des. I have been really keen on replacing my Stratos with the Stratos 3 and it would be great to have an in depth review on that as well. I can't really find good in depth reviews on that

I will also tell you something interesting! How do you know based on the comparison which one measures exactly? when we don't know which device and how it was put together, and if that sensor is reliable? or is it well connected to the satellite? I'm Hungarian, they say that Garmin is inaccurate. well, unfortunately there is so much of the device that we get lost in it. Otherwise, Japanese cars and like casio are quality and accurate!

I was waiting for this review... Casio needs to catch up !!!

My weekend outdoor watch and I would trust my life to this beauty!

I love the design of the watch and I think they did a great job with the UI considering the limited screen. I'm curious how fast Casio would roll out updates to this and how friendly it would work with third party devices and software in the future.

Between this product and their new Rangeman, Casio is really going all out when it comes to it's new models. The amount of functions they are able to put into a single watch is awesome when compared to other watches that have to be linked to a phone to have access to all functions. Now if they can just make a light weight G-Shock square with carbon fiber and their GMW-B5000 module, which you find in the full metal square, then I wouldn't need another watch ever again.

Thanks for the review. I was going to press the trigger in this one but will revise my position after this review. I'll wait until they improve on it. Thanks for saving me a few bucks ... but mostly saving me from any frustrations b/c I'm a cyclist and I was going to use this mostly for my rides. There are other options out there for cyclists but I'm a G-Shock fan so ... bummer that this one falls short ... I'll be patient. Thanks again.

Excellent video! I am happy to see such a unique approach to a fitness watch. I suspect 2020 will be a huge year for fitness and smartwatches!

You forgot mention that this watch also has solar changing capability.

Best review of this watch I could find, very helpful. Thanks

Nice work. I love the look of this watch and appreciate your help with all the features.

I really like how in-depth you went into the features of this device!! thank you so much, I just got it and will be doing a Quick Look video in a couple of days, is it ok if I refer to your video for more in-depth information pertaining activity?

I just purchased this gshock yesterday. Before purchasing, I was comparing GBD H1000 and Germin Instinct Solar. In my opinion, garmin has better function, but I only run, therefore I went for Gshock.

I watch your channel and the way you make this watch sound it seem like a good deal. It arrived today and I can't believe how bad the GBD-H1000 build quality is I was expecting the same build quality as my gwg 1000 mudmaster am I disappointed. The watch feel so light wait it like you have not even got a watch on at all. I was just looking for a heavy more tough quality watch like I am use to from casio I feel this will be my last casio. The review was fantastic any way really enjoy your channel.

Solid review Des. I'm a G-Shock fan - had a Rangeman for few years and it's still my go to for any outdoor/ rugged wear. Also own a Mud-Master but it's just too big for day to day wear. Casio pioneered the tough/survival watch so excited to see where they will take Sports watches. Would be good to see a colour display on future models. There seem to be some shortcomings but for durability it's going to be hard to surpass Casio. And the battery life is 👍🏽

Hi can you revist Casio G-Shock Move GBD-H1000 GPS/HR Watch // In-Depth Review in 2021 and see if there has been any improvments since youe last review. thanks .

Nice review, subscribed👏 keep the buzz going on

Thank you for your awesome content! Is there going to be a follow up video any time soon? It would be nice to see, whether the watch software has been updated or not as there's not much information on the internet available.

Can you do a comparison between the Casio and the Garmin Instinct?

G shock all the way. Best reliable watch I’ve ever owned and I beat the hell out of them

Isn't there supposed to be a newer model coming up this year?

Great review! Thanks very much... I think this watch will be perfect for me. I am not as active as you are. Walking ( and walk around golf courses to watch my son in tournaments, lol ), hiking, indoor running are my main activities. I just want to know my HR the rest of the functions are bonus to me. I had a Rangeman... and I was wishing for a Casio thats got HR function. And this is going to be great for me. Hows the step counter? can you do a quick review on that? Thanks again for all the various comps. Very informative and useful. Pre-order and cant wait.

I bought the watch and among other flaws which I already reported to the customer support, I find some problems: 1) the training plan allows only to select from 5k,10,half and full marathon. What if I'd like to train over the 3.000 meters lenght? Or the 1.50 mts? The length should be arbitrary. 2) What is the purpose of having a full time cardio monitor without the possibility to download the data or see the cardio graph on a big screen? The 24hrs monitor graph on the tiny screen of the watch is basically useless. Same as for downloadable GPS data, no trace of it. 3) GPS accuracy is questionable, over a trip on the mountain it recorded only half of my trip and the length was way off. 4) cardio monitor sometimes gets crazy, jumping to very high values (150s bpm) while you are in the 60s. It must be stopped and restarted from the application in order to restore its functionality. 5) the training monitor should have other sports settings, such as fitness 6) Either I use the app from my telephone or on my tablet. I cannot use it on both as I get disconnected from the other device. What is the sense in that given that I log in with my personal credentials? Let us use the app from whichever device we want 7) while I understand the limitations of having an effective vibrating system in such a small device, I definitely do not understand the really poor alarm sound. It wouldn't wake up anybody or even alert anyone during a run or training. Bummer, I hope Casio will fix this at the speed of the light.

Thanks for that in depth interview!

Great review! I was looking for an Apple Watch for monitoring daily fitness activity and I found this G-shock today, so I really appreciate it! I will probably stay with the Apple Watch for the moment..

got me really curious for a replacement for my already dated Fenix 3 when this thing showed up. nice 1st drop from Casio, but looks like a lot of ground to catch vs Garmin. happy to have moved on to Garmin Instinct. UI much improved, and I suddenly appreciate a correctly sized watch on my wrist

A high quality and very informative review that was a pleasure to watch.

The solor is huge on this type if watch if Garmin would do this at this price point would be impossible to beat I do think that for this price you should get the garmin instinct instead

Think I'm gonna get this watch I'm sure any of the issues you've highlighted will be improved with software updates from casio.

Thank you for the hard work! I have the same watch and I gained more insights on the indoor training. Thank you!

This is a great review, I would also add that you have to also compare the battery life which boast much more stellar times than other smartwatches especially being solar powered.

Hi!, why does the watch show some heart rate reading in the screen even if it's not placed on your wrist? Thanks!

The G-SHOCK MOVE GBD-H2000 SERIES comes out next month.

What a review. Definitely buying one now. Thanks a lot!

Always the best reviews cheers des

Thanks for the video! Apart from the optical heartrate it's functionality is far below a Fenix 1, which was launched at least 7 years ago.

nice work bro....very well explanation about features and functions

Great review! Exactly what I was looking for from this watch. I love the exterior but guess I'd have to go with Garmin Venu instead, for indoor activities, thanks!

Hello Will you update this review? Has the watch gotten an update

absolutely brilliant review! great job !

I'll stick to my beloved dw-5600 never let me down.i just look at the face see what time it is and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the review. Good looking watch from Casio. I was thinking about buying one but I won't.

I would really like to know how this watch performs openwater swimming (how accurate the gps is while swimming)

Very concise and informative Thank you

Does the “Run” exercise function and all the tracking stats only work for a run? Or would it all track for when I go cycling too. Mainly looking for distance, speed, heart rate ect..

Have these inconsistencies been fixed in some recent software update for G-Shock ?

hi there, what should i do if this item does not ship to where i live right now? any suggestion?

Great review. Just got this. Excited to get into it

Super interesting video, Des. I don't think there is any way I can get past the form factor. 100+ grams and 20mm thick is a bit too much for me. I am surprised that the OHR did fairly well in your tests. I'm not sure what exactly they were thinking by releasing a watch with only 1 activity profile. The Grit-X is probably in the same price range and it has probably 200 profiles. Still, Casio has a lot of resources. Maybe they will even come up with a more wearable non-G-Shock watch line with OHR too.

This is such an amazing review I really enjoyed the information on this watch. Looked through a few and yours is by far the best !!! Thank you- subbed Ps: Has there been any news about an update to the software that you are aware of? The 5bpm accuracy irregularities got me doubting myself whether or not to buy

Thanks, very great review. Help a lots.

Can you switch from miles to kilometres?

Super thorough. Thanks for taking the time!

First video of yours i'm seeing. Wildly, impressed. Subscribe.

I tried a indoor row as a test before I saw this vid. When I saw my results I thought I'd programmed it wrong somehow. I really hope they fix this issue.

Just got the fenix 5 Plus...I’d have gotten the Gshock if it played music. But the 47mm fenix is pretty badass

Excellent review. Thanks. I would like to buy one and use it in MTB cycling. I hope I can export the GPS/sensors data to the Strava app.

Can u help me sir, why my gps not connect with my iphone, after i reset my gbd h1000? Hope u can explain sir

Omg I was thinking of buying GARMIN Fenix I watch but thank god GShock released this beast ❤️❤️

I bought this watch after watching this video!!!

Can you make another OMAD video? Its been 5 years I think it would be really interesting to hear your experience.
