I agree that the Casio/G-Shock enthusiasts are an amazing crowd. Great video and collection. Can't wait to see what you have coming.

That issue with strap failure I can relate to, at least with the cheapest casios. I've had two separate F91W-1's fail on me, latest one a year ago. But then again it's not a G-shock and I work out in the field getting it tangled in branches, scratching the screen against asphalt or walls/ladders/etc, so it's a bit understandable that it'd break. Nowadays I use a GW-9400-1B rangeman and it has held up so well, even the resin straps! I'll keep you posted about that, tho. Last thing you mentioned about the Casio entusiasts being generally upbeat about the brand is absolutely true! To youtubers and commenters alike, the comparatively humble Casio watches bring joy to even the "big bucks" reviewers that handle 100k+ automatic watches on the daily. That speaks volumes about Casio.

I find that some of the negative display watches are easier to read than others..for example, the negative display version of the G Shock GD-350 is as easy for me to read as any of my positive-display Casios, but the negative display GX-56 is very hard to read at times..I own and like both, but as far as legibility is concerned, they’re very different. By the way, I now have a 25-watch collection that includes a goodly number of G Shocks and “regular” Casios, and I have to include myself in the Casio fan group-they’re great when it comes to sheer value for money!!

Hi Greg, You're absolutely right! There are some really beautiful colored watches, if they only had a positive display!! I would buy so many more casio g-shock!!!! One thing I really hate about casio watches,is the fact that, me living in Europe, can't change the day and month to our way of reading , first day and then the month!

Thanks Greg, most people are nice people. It is the unfriendly ones that get a lot of attention, and that's too bad. I own just a few (8) Casio's, but I like them a lot. I have two things I don't like that much. 1. The odd watchband constructions. 2. The very, very, small layout of the functions on the dial. I am getting a little older and it gets harder to read them. Negatives I wouldn't buy in the first place. Thanks again nice person from the mountain area! Greetings from the Netherlands!

I did a negative to positive display mod on my MTG-M900 with the black case. It requires a lot of patience and very precise work. Extremely easy to mess up and break your screen. The MTG-M900 is my favourite G Shock. Great video Greg!

Another bad thing at gshock is the fact that the crystal scratches under the casing. I have 5 gshock watches and at all of them happened this. At first is seems like dust, but I nipple down the casing and I clean very well. But.. surprise, there are scratches. I thought that the models are bad form my home, Bucharest, but my rangeman is from Vienna. Also I didn't used them in very hard conditions for long time, just normal conditions under lower to moderate stress and time for some of them. I cannot upload pictures to see, but I think that you know what it is about. Thank you, Greg and continue like that!

Interestingly. While most of these manuals are not needed for simpler models of Casio and g-shock in particular, for some G-Shocks they are very important to have because some functions cannot be guessed intuitively.

Dear Mr Anderson, Thank you for your very interesting reports on Casio watches! You mention the community of Casio enthusiasts. I’m a beginning collector myself and would like to know if there are any such ‘clubs’, I haven’t been able to find them myself. Looking forward to more of your very informative reports! Best wishes from The Netherlands, Pieter

I did the negative to positive LCD mod myself and I'm super happy with the result. There are a few things that can go wrong (DON'T LOSE ANY TINY SPRINGS) but I think it's well within your capabilities and worth a try on a less expensive model.

Greg nails the Greg phenomenon perfectly. I watch to get aware of models and how to set up a watch. It saves me from using the manuals. I have trouble with the resin bands during hot weather causing skin rashes.

I agree about the negative displays. Another dislike would be that the adjust pusher in some square G Shocks are very difficult to push.

Greg your candid and fun. I've had a few Casio watches and that Protrek 5571 just purchased is fabulous! Did EYE mention how the LED is a special UV LED and when activated, the already great lume contrasts with vibrant, blue across the Arabic numerals and throwing RE ADD ABLE light across the LCD display. The older Casio EYE have is a basic beater, 3403 witch has been worn every day for six years now? The battery is still going strong and the condition is impeccable! It still looks brand new; the crystal is scratch-free and the case even the strap once cleaned, has no apparent color fading or wear characteristics. The 5571 is pretty intuitive but that manual does help for little used things that might come in handy but the manuals CAN bee somewhat confusing. EYE am so glad the strap is a more supple silicone strap on the 5571 as the 3403 and many others are knot as comfortable and have that customized strap config. making it necessary to get adapters etc. to get a different strap. I'm considering getting the Rangeman but the strap is ONE RE A SUN for getting the 5571 first bee cause it has a standard lug 20mm width and CAN bee easily traded out to a sail cloth or NATO - whatever!

When I bought a truck, I got my paperwork on a memory stick. It would be a nice option for instructions in the language of choice.

Great video as always. After a hiatus of about 15 years without buying any watches, Casio made me do it again. Got 6 over the last 6 months, being 4 Casios. I had them as a young one way back when, then I decided I didn't like LCDs. Long story short, after 30 years, half my modest collection are LCDs. Wondering, would you do some purely analogue Casios? Some nice cheap ones out there, that for the most part hit all their indices and should last as long as the digitals. Also, Edifice has been putting out some beautiful non chronograph models. Maybe they'd strike your fancy? To answer your question, what I love about them is that they overdeliver. Even the cheapest Casio will really give you more than what you expect. What I dislike about Casio is based on where I live, Brazil. Here they cost roughly double what they cost in the US (one of the watches I bought recently was the G Shock DW5600, a 30 year one-day-I'll-buy watch and I paid US$70-ish and that was not too bad; a Casio Duro can be had for like 150 dollars) and, though you complain of the US market, here our selection of available models is so very limited compared to what you have available there. Sorry for the long winded comment. By the way, your Portuguese was not half bad!

I just use the Casio app, where I registered all my watches. Once they are in the app, I choose the right watch from the list, and there is an "instruction" button that leads you right to the instructions. Search function included. You probably have the app anyway, if you have a Bluetooth watch.

I just wish my GPR-B1000 had an hourly chime :) Thank you for the great video as usual!

You should try the black GD-350 with a negative display. That particular G-Shock probably has one of the best negative displays on any watch.

We have the same issue trying to find different colour variations in UK. I’ve had to buy some from Japan too

Sir, I love your Casio videos. Greetings from Germany.

Really like your vid's Greg. Owned a GW-6900 but recently finally got hold of a GW-9300. Which has Multiband and Carbin strap. Had to wait 18 months before appearing for €65,- on local online market.

Very good video, and good topic, Casio have so many advantages, but I have a problem that never solved by them. The material of all Casio transparent-skeleton series ( band and case) will turn yellowish color in matter of 1-2 years, sadly permanently They are great models, specially for summer and holidays, but this problem stopped me to purchase them, recently Casio released new transparent models, from basic F-91W, to higher end models, But all of them have this yellowish problem in their materials....

Congrats, your GW-9400 stopwatch reached already 550 hours. Keep going.

Re variety: there are a lot of distribution/retail costs to having more SKUs, even if they're easy to make. Though online retail by big retailers helps with that.

I always prefered analog watches and created my collection without ever considering a Casio. Then one day I made the unfortunate mistake of purchasing a Casio SGW-100B Digital Compass watch to wear on motorcycle trips, thinking it would come in handy to have a waterproof watch with a compass function. This watch was so reliable and comfortable that I foolishly started looking at other Casio watches. They have started multiplying in my collection, and my must have list keeps growing. I am especially hooked on their Digital-Analog watches like the GA-2100 series. I am going to need a bigger watch box.

yes the negative lcds I do not like too much I have two and one we see practically nothing needs a lot of light and a good angle be careful if you want to change the position of the polarizer these very delicate I did not want to go too far for fear of damaging me prefer the positive lcd much better casio these the best timeless watches thank you greg for your always fascinating videos

I just want Casio to release more stainless steel case watches, with sapphire glass if possible.

I HATE negative displays! It's just incomprehensible how so many have negative displays! Offer more positive display variants and SELL MORE WATCHES!

Hello sir, I am Lucas from Tucuman, northern Argentina, I like Casio watches and I saw your collection, very good watches I also use Casio, regards

I really don't understand why on the awg's they didn't put some backlight for displays...beautiful watches allmost useless on dark...

Hi Greg I love Casio's but I do have a few niggles, why are some watches only for JDM? some watches give you the choice to have DD/MM/YYYY so why not all? and if I want to buy a GW-M5610 with a combi bracelet, why can I only get it with a negative display, which I hate, maybe Casio executive's watch your channel Greg, stay safe.

Great video! When you store watches fo the straps get messed up when you tie them to the holder in the box?

Mr Anderson pulling a Schwarzkopf: nice.

Doesn’t look like you’ve experienced this Greg, but my biggest complaint is crooked modules. I’ve had no fewer than 4 new purchases, from various outlets, have the modules crooked inside of the watch cases. Brand new.

Why's nobody talking about non-standard lugs?!

I love my gwx-5700.. 😘

Looks like Casio should invest in creating HTML online help. Viewing PDF online is so 2000's.

CRACKS - SHOE GOO. Give it a try. Endless uses.

I think it would be interesting if you set the time zone for each watch

Good

awesome collection !

Man after my own heart ❤

How often do you sync the seconds? Lol!

My big issue withe the Casio instructions, printed or online, are the unclear diagrams and retrograde English. I reall the bycyle assembly instrcutions on installing the "mudd gad" on the back wheel. 0___0

23:58 Ама, виж как са го помислилили рекламодателите - билборда и по магистралата и по черното - все ще го видиш - с 1 куршум - 2 заека :D. Няма значение от колко години си софиянец, ендъка си е ендък и това си е :D. Екстра забавно видео! Други да я мислят колата :). Бтв, те в ЮАР и мародер-а правят - голямото на хамъра. Живот и здраве да те видиме и на него да се жлембиш :)

tell us you are wearing mtg-900

Nice content!

@11:59 on your left wrist you have on a yellow/green watch. what is that?

What's the name of the watch you were wearing when explaining about straps breaking?

how many oceanus ? cant see them...

Prefer hardcopy (physical) manuals. Prefer hardcopy maps, too.

World nomber one casio watch I love it

How do you keep all your solars charged?

If Casio resin watches are stored properly and regularly treated with conditioners l, they will last decades. Sadly G-Shock care instructions found online are mostly wrong. Even Wiki-How and other respectable sites give grossly wrong ideas to maintain these watches.

Why is the stopwatch on your Rangeman running?

Excelente Português 😀

Portuguese 😍

You know what I hate about Casio watches?
