If Casio would make the firmware open source and upgradable via the smartphone, that could be a very worth watch.

Got one yesterday, it’s perfect for working onsite and the display is super easy to read at a glance. I’m not really bothered about all the other functions. I like it.

Excellent watch. I just bought one a few days ago and am very satisfied. If it had tough solar, I would also buy it right away!

Just ordered one and I'm so excited! As a child, G-Shock where the watches every cool kid needed to have. I've used smartwaches for a long time now and although I really apreciate the functions, I hate having to recharge my watch every two days... This watch looks fantastic and has a great display and brings back memorys of my childhood! Thanks for the awesome review!

I just bought the blue one only for the display and alarm clock with vibration option 😎 Oh, forgot to mention that it generally looks simply amazing 😱😁 BTW, as soon as it's delivered I'm going to switch Bluetooth and notifications off as I don't need them at all and would buy it even if it didn't have any of the smartwatch functionalities.

It's my favourite G-shock! Frist of all I love the color (I also bought the blue one) and the display, it really sets it apart and offer something different than any other G-shock that I own. I don't really use the step tracker or activity stuff, but the notifications are super handy. I work in an enviroment where I can't use my phone that much, and to be able to see notifications on my watch is a super handy way to know why my phone is vibrating in my pocket. I do wish that Casio would do a Tough Solar version of this watch, because all the features that I use tends to drain the battery. Other than that, I'm super happy! All the usual G-shock features that I love combined with a great look and added functionality. A great watch!

Thanks, that was my feeling about this watch. I think I won't be disappointed, because I'm just into the overall vintage design and feel of Casio.

These MIP watches have the ability to be positive or negative display. Maybe even auto display so under low light, it'll switch to a positive screen for easier viewing before a backlight is needed. Hopefully there will someday be a module upgrade like the G-shock squares still get new modules every few years. Solar too is sorely needed. Great review. I just want it as a watch and alarm so I'm getting one and never even linking it to my phone. I just ordered the new light gray/tan looking color. Great review. Just subscribed.

Awesome watch but why on earth did they not make it solar?

Thanks dude! This is the best video on this watch! Just ordered mine! Great content!

Lovely review. I saw the same blue watch at Casio store today. I had gone to check out and probably buy a triple sensor ProTrek or G-Shock for my upcoming travels. But I kept my purchase on hold when I saw this one. Beautiful watch with a great color. So I noted down the model number and got down to doing some research, and your video popped up. Your review is crisp, to the point and very informative. Thanks 👍

I actually like the way the notifications work, the vibration and quick banner describing who and where it is from let’s me know if it is something I should stop what I’m doing to dig out my phone to respond to. The fact it is awkward to retrieve messages on the watch makes no difference as I’m not likely to read an email on my watch anyway

Nice review! I bought one simply for the MIP display. It is simply magnificent!

I'm tied between this and the 5610 mainly because the screen is so much better on this 200 than the regular LCD ones. However the 5610 has solar and multi band which is quite appealing. The phone link features I won't care for other than time adjustment. Overall really tied on this...

Got one yesterday 'off white urban colour'👍 It's my favourite G shock ever!! So everyday functional and looks great!! Your review is spot on,thanks!

Cool watch. I love the MIP display. If G-Shock would come up with another G-Shock MIP display without the workout features, notification features, I would be sold, especially if it had better battery. My two G-shocks will wait until the next one comes out!

I’m blown away . . . You telling me the guy who converted me to vaping has a product review channel with something I’m looking to purchase 🤯 I’m so used to your review style for the vape stuff this was PERFECT

i would have considered this watch if it had solar charging as well. hopefully in the new models have it. Instead i am going to take my chances with the gbd2000, great review!

I’ve been using smart watches for years for working out but man I hate charging it everyday. I love how similar it is. It has almost everything I need in a watch. I would love something like this but with a heartrate monitor

Yeah the 60 minutes timer sucks. The watch in outstanding in many ways but at the same time has some significant design flaws. Thanks a lot for the great review.

Thanks for this review. Best I have seen so far! That 6hrs auto light is a deal breaker for me. I do a lot of work in artificial light (underground mining), and the auto light on my 5610 is a lifesaver!

I hope they make this in a smaller size. I love the negative display.

Fantastic review, thank you, I bought mine purely for its great display and good looks. ( I got the blue one also ) Thanks for the heads up re the 6 hour thing with the auto light, I did wonder why that stopped working. Great G-Shock and it only cost me $145 AUD.

i got mine yesterday in the same color. i freaking love it so far.

The display is beautiful. If they make one with MIP display without the "smart" features, I'd get one in a heartbeat. I'd probably still get one now that it's been out for a while, and there are some pretty decent deals.

For notifications, you can at least limit what apps send notifications from the phone to the watch (via the Move app), if you didn't want to get everything your phone receives, maybe just two or three apps (just email & text messages, etc.).

Good review. This helped me make my decision. I was ready to purchase this, because I thought it’s just a watch with a cool display. Because of the stripped down workout functionality, I decided to go with Instinct 2X.

I bought is because I can see what time it is. I was blind in November last year and had surgery. Now I still have problems seeing anything arm length away. I see perfect after that. I know I could use my phone but I hate my phone for that. I was raised on watches and I will die wearing watches. When I was blind I still had watches even though I couldn’t see it.

Got mine yesterday I'm so happy with it

Just bought one same colour thanks to you good review 😊

Very good review on this watch. I like the display. But when I was about to get this model, I saw a good deal on the GBX-100KI 1ER. It was the last one in stock, and it was cheaper than this model. The functions are the same, I think the GBX-100KI have some extra functions, and a metal bezel. The strap is better on the GBX-100KI. But this gbd-200 is very nice, I like the blue color. Maybe in the future I get one. 👍👍

Just bought this watch after your review btw.

Thanks for the video this has really helped me get the most from my new watch. Excellent content and very useful!!!

A really thorough review, nice! Would love to see you review some precision scales!

Very detailed review, this helped me in making my decision!

I’d buy this watch just for the legibility.

g shocks are always too big for me, but im really digging the design of it

Nice review, Would like to wait a solar poowered version without HR sensor. Best with better notification improvement, a quick access to show the details.

Looks awesome. Love the blue colour. The display is so clear. Shame it's not solar. The notications and sports tracking seems pretty useless. The big button for the light is nice.

Excellent review of a watch I am thinking of picking up.

The most comfortable watch band I've worn is on the Garmin instinct watches. So soft , and had a ton of holes.

Get on Peat love to see you doing some different reviews on your channel. And it’s a good ass review as well keep it up bro.

I really love the display and look of this watch but it just has too much stuff I wouldn’t use. Casio should make this display with the basic f91w features, maybe throw in a countdown timer, maybe a smidge smaller and a fun colour range under $100. Till then I’ll stick to my skmei 1988 for a work beater. Tough as nails.

Very good test !

I wait for Casio like dw5600 but with MIP display.

good review!

Great video and new sub here - I have the white (well, cream color really) one and use it to track my walks. Kind of a stormtrooper vibe. It is great. Thinking of adding the lime green or even blue.

Great review and very comprehensive. Quick question - is it possible to display the date as DD/MONTH rather than the MONTH/DD which seems to be Casio’s default. Thanks.

Great review, thanks for sharing 👍

What a great review man. Thank you

I'd wish they'd put that display in the 5600 or 5000 would be perfect

Pros , it looks great Cons The function on this is very gimmick driven, had they made it solar or rechargeable it would be more appealing i guess thats where the dwh5600 came into play which is also more of a gimmick watch than a true fitness tracker but for now nice additions to an ever growing collection

I wouldn't call black boring. I would call black the safe bet if you don't want discoloration after a year or two. No colored resin for me.

Would love to get one, but still unsure if I should wait for a smaller version in the future as they’ve done with other models.

Thank you for the review.

If this watch had a way to set it so that first watch face with the nice big time display with the seconds had the steps at the top and the date at the bottom, I would be buying this watch. Unfortunately, they just don't give you the option to have all of these displayed at the same time.

Just oredered one, even in my country, its like 160$, which is awesome price

Excelente video, estoy por comprar uno en negro,. Soy fanática de los g shock, y éste es muy bonito además con la pantalla y los números grandes que tiene me ayuda mucho porque uso lentes. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

I just want to count my daily steps, without connecting to a smartphone. No need something else. Just time and steps meter. Only with the watch, no connection to something else. Is it possible with this watch? Should i buy it?

Pls explain video at 2:15 showing lat and long, how to set it if this option available

Beautiful. Make it solar and it's a killer

On 2 display time, can u use to display a 12H and 24H time?

Great review!

Wow, what a nice review. Have to subscribe.

They put an aweful lot of work into making a legible negative display when some of the functions clearly show that it should just be a positive display by default

Does it has auto light feature?

Wish you could control music playback on your phone trough the watch. Would very useful when running or working behind machinery with gloves and full gear.

Great review, thanks.

Love the big display, I am looking for other options for this size display. Any recommendations? Thanks

Just need this to be tough solar not a baby smart watch 😅

4:10 i also feell the pinch😊

Hi man! Is the led light uniform or the left side looks a little bit brighter? That happens to my watch and I have seen the same situation in many other videos.

You can turn off notifications in your phone, than you will not receive in g shock. I have only sms and calls

Casio... please add solar and compass and be ready for metric tons off money. I would even trade the vibration and notifications for solar and compass. That would be the ultimate Pro Trek - G-Shock lovechild. I would pay 500€. Maybe even 600€.

Love the blue so much, always almost pull the trigger, but why no solar!

I've got an old Bluetooth Gshock (bt 4.0, a gbx6900) from like 2012. The BT still works, notifications have always been useless. I just use the BT to sync the time and set basic settings (adjust my alarms, timer, etc) then immediately cut it back off. If you just use thr BT link to sync time and set up the watch then turn it off it makes a lot of sense. Dunno of you can just easily turn the bt on and off on this one like you could on old ones. I think I just wanna get this to try out a MIP display. Seems so cool. I wonder if anyone will make a 3rd party phone app to sync these too, like BlueWatcher was.

i wish there is a solar powered version of this watch

Cool watch tho... I like the display

Ordered green varient #just for curiosity 😂🙃

Nice review watch not bad for the price

Still mystified as to why they didn't make it solar or have a solar option

Can you please answer if it's possible to only get notifications for when someone is calling you and turn off all other app notifications?

15mm?! Damn. Looks good though but i could never wear anything that thick. It would be really annoying

The MIP display can only do 1hz refresh rage wick is one a second. My Garmin does the same

Thank you for the presentation. Do you need the phone connection to track the running distance?

Eh, I just don’t like this thing. It’s moving too much into smart watch territory. There’s something great about a self governing, solar G-Shock that’s completely independent of a smart phone. This definitely has a beautiful display, but I’m also like you in terms of the size…it’s a little too big. I wear the negative 5610. Too bad we couldn’t get this display on mine. But oh well, not a deal breaker for me. Good review! You explained everything really good!

Fantastic job covering it's features. Being a cyclist, do you think it's pace and distance functionality would be a good thing to track my cycle rides?

Hi. sorry i bought it > no hourly alarm > notifications are not read > no standard TIMER

I have a question about the workout timer. How many times does the timer vibrate between exercises if set to silent mode?

Awesome review☺️ by the way will the step tracker work without connecting the watch to the app? Thank you in advance and more power to your channel. New sub here☺️

this watch is comically gigantic on most wrists

I love the display but find the functions lacking, can't wait for Casio to make a G-Shock for hiking with this kind of display and a triple sensor

I prefer ga b2100-9a instead of this it has tough solar and blutooth boths have price are same

Hi amazing channel! what watch are you wearing in this video ?

The screen glass is scratchable? I mean it's not a gorilla glass or a sapphire

All Casio negative display watches should be MIP. The normal negative displays suck and are very difficult to read in low light levels. The notifications are hard to read because the text is way too small!

How do you get to the screen seen at minute 2:14? I just received the watch, and I already use it well, but I'm curious how to get to the screen that says "adjusted"

love the watch for 100 oiros is my daily driver but the connectivity with the app is horrendous!!!

I think I want this, but I cannot figure out if it tracks pool swimming laps.

Can you do a video about ''Unlock Hidden menus on the G-Shock GBD-200''? I discovered recently this watch have a hidden menu, but there a lot of strange things and i didn't wanted to broke my watch, i just received this few days ago as a gift in green colour, i love this watch and i dont want to broke. Maybe you have time to check for us, please.
