I've just purchased this watch & so far I am very impressed. It looks classie in real life, also the watch looks much more expensive than it really is. The turbine is weired but different, in a good way. Hopefully Casio have built this watch to be as reliable as a Seiko or Citizen, which I have plenty of. It's a well dressed Tank!
Just got this watch and really love it! As far as am/pm, it displays am/pm for world clock.... when the pointer is pointing towards the right, it's in am time, when it points to the left, it's in pm mode. If it is pointing straight down, it's noon, straight up, midnight! Not sure why that's so hard! Yeah, the letters a and p *are* small, but do you really need to read them every time? It isn't going to change! As for the turbine, I like it! Maybe I'm weird! I do agree it should simply display the battery level all the time during "Calander" mode, not require you to push a button, but that's not a bid deal to me. Turbine also displays on or off, when in "alarm" mode. I just think it's interesting looking, and like how it looks when it's spinning around... yeah, maybe I am weird! Love the watch overall! Great look, very reasonable price, but not for small wrists! App link also makes syncing time/alarm/world time very easy, and keeps your phone amazingly accurate, without needing to connect to nuclear timekeeping radio.
Shel W hey I got mine yesterday and so I put my watch under a lamp last night and it took maybe 1 hour go go from roughly 50%-90% but now according to the app it’s still at 90% after 4 fours. Are you experiencing the same problem? Also the LED eats your battery way too quick. Try not to use it too much
the turbine when it does not display the battery level keeps up with the hours, say its 12pm, it will be fully red, if its 12:30 it will be half red and at 1:00 it will be fully black. still a worthless function but personally love it
@@maverickwatchreviews good move, youll have to upgrade that apple watch every 2 years where this will be good until YOU want to upgrade it. Upgrade on your terms. I still have my first casio from 2011
Good review. Interesting watch. Two things i would like. 1. The hour markers with "luminous". 2. The ability to turn the backlight off. Half a sleep and bleary it is very hard to see/read the time.
The turbine indicates minutes, top of the hour and battery levels. It replaces the hourly ring that you have on other Casio. It's a quick glance feature. If you get use to it, it's useful. Also, you can actually get 8 time zones out of this beauty... I have the Luxury Military Edition of this watch...
all the way around. im just going back to see it cuz theres a new gravity master out with the same stuff going on in the face. might want to check out the grb300. its the same thing with newer features like a locator diary.
Hey thanks dude your video was the only video to get into the details... 💕 appreciate it thanks also im happy that you were kinda neutral about the watch.
so far no phone call from nike or Coca-Cola asking me to endorse their products. i'm beginning to think being a youtube sensation ain't all that? quite like the g-shock looks wise, but i'd have to get both my wrists in it to make it look normal on me. plus you never hit the button that gets it to make you a cup of coffee then mow the front lawn.
Amazes me how people don't get the turbine, shows battery when you want but for 99% of the time will never move if yall had it way you want. Instead Casio did something real cool, the turbine is tied to minutes normally so it does one full rotation per hour, so everytime you look at it its in a different spot.
Hello! Great review, looking forward to get the watch in resin/rubber strap! You have great knowledge regarding watches i just wanted a query of mine to be resolved. I recently brought a EQB-501XDB-1ADR. It has a beautiful built quality which i really love and it has all the bluetooth functions as in the watch mentioned above. I was just exploring the casio+ app connected to the watch and out of curiosity changed the analog hands positions and also manually adjusted the time from the crown just to get the feel of it. Now the problem is the watch is not setting to my current time zone from my phone. All the hands are out of place including the day hand. The watch is easily connecting to the app but the time zone and the day are not being set however i try! I read somewhere that if we manually adjust the hands it takes 24 hours to readjust according to the app, but it's been days and the problem persists. I searched online but haven't found a solution yet and the place where i live the watch guys don't know a thing! Apologies for writing so much, hope so would get a solution from you. Greetings from India! Cheers!
Hey great review but just wondering whats the difference between the 1ACR one and 1AER as i'm about to buy 1AER tomorrow so quick reply would be much appreciated ✌️
I got this watch a couple of months ago for the Bluetooth functionality. Us poor unfortunate folk who live in the Southern hemisphere don't get atomic timekeeping. The watch is very stylish but far too big for me. I'll give the other Casio edifice Bluetooth watches a go. Great reviews by the way.
i'm a fan of bulky watches, but this one was even for me too big. I have a Mudmaster GWG-1000 so I know what bulky means. But over all a very nice big watch.
I have one with rubber bands, it’s very very comfortable, I’m wearing it rn, typing this comment. I’m also the guy who owns some Casioak. Let me tell u, it’s just as comfortable.
I got 20 deep as seconds of laughter from you post!!! I had to lean back and relax while I laughed…. I kept hearing shock shock shock!! Hysterical, the watch is on my wrist, just got it, not yet used / adjusted the band. Thank you. Humor as f!-)
Happened with me and the b200. Installed the app, tried multiple times for no connect. Went into app and it has trouble shooting guide. It says to turn phone off, turn phone on, and try again. Did that. Connected immediately.
Something I wish I knew before buying is that it can only have 1 alarm that only beeps 20 times (10 sets of 2 rapid beeps) and it’s pretty quiet and the G-SHOCK app has to be on on your phone to use the find my phone. It doesn’t have to be the main app on your screen but as long as it’s been opened and you don’t swipe it out of multitasking then it will work but that also eats your battery. When you first get it like most you’ll have to leave it to charge for at least 1 day out in the sun. To save time for new owners like me the battery will seem to stay at halfway and not go up but just leave it in the sun or under a watch charge lamp for like 24h. By then it should be near or at full Oh yea. The watch hands get in the way of the smaller dials and the black text around the bezel will start to come off after a couple years. For example on mine the S and half of the K in G-Shock have come out Over time they’ll come out anyway but I probably sped mine up when cleaning it with a toothbrush 😅
Just got the watch love it but omg ass much ass the watch cost it wood come with a better box than a metal tin that look like thay put alot in the watch but the tin 10$ suck but love the watch
what do you expect, it's just a $350 watch. And who cares about the bog anyway. I got a pile of boxes which are unnecessarily oversized, especially Tissot, taking tons of space. All watches instantly go into the watch box, easier access for me, less hustle for the burglars))
This is the best looking and trademark G-SHOCK steel period!!!

Gary Willacey Seiko and Citizen are über reliable, but if anything G Shocks are even more reliable. I have one from 1984, it looks like new!
Just got mine this watch is a beast
I just go this watch, have it on my wrist. And I LOVE IT. It retails for 550 and I was able to get it brand new for 300 bucks. Stoked.
I have one ordered can't wait to ad it to my collection thanks for the review

Casio just build the most accurate and toughest watches in the world . That simple .
Um,... Rolex-
But I kinda like that turbine spin for no reason at all..I think it looks cool
the turbine when it does not display the battery level keeps up with the hours, say its 12pm, it will be fully red, if its 12:30 it will be half red and at 1:00 it will be fully black. still a worthless function but personally love it
and it spins when you switch modes because its bascially connected to minutes of
the smaller time dial
Just got one. Said goodbye to my Gen 1 Apple Watch, said hello to this
Welcome to freedom sir!

How do you use the turbine to view minutes?
How do you get 8 time zones?
Please, how do I set the digital time into 12hrs mode instead of the 24hrs format?
This guy is really detailed. I had to get me one
Thanks so much!
all the way around. im just going back to see it cuz theres a new gravity master out with the same stuff going on in the face. might want to check out the grb300. its the same thing with newer features like a locator diary.
Multumesc pentru informațiile privind acest superb ceas,sunt multe aspecte pe care nu le știam...👍👍👍🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴 Salutari din România
Thanks for uploading the review of this watch..i was waiting for it😊
Nice watch. I'm the exact same, I've got an Apple watch, it gets zero wrist time.
Hey thanks dude your video was the only video to get into the details... 💕 appreciate it thanks also im happy that you were kinda neutral about the watch.
Thanks for watching brother. I'll always love just about every G-Shock even if it has problems :)
Mum, I'm Famous!!!
Enjoy your 15mins sir!...lol.
so far no phone call from nike or Coca-Cola asking me to endorse their products. i'm beginning to think being a youtube sensation ain't all that? quite like the g-shock looks wise, but i'd have to get both my wrists in it to make it look normal on me. plus you never hit the button that gets it to make you a cup of coffee then mow the front lawn.
Fat Boab ya I checked it out and I found out that it doesn’t mow the yard
Scottish by any chance? Love the way he pronounced Boab!
I'm definitely going to check them out, thanks, good video!
Love mine! Great watch. Always accurate to the second. Great watch.
is 54 mm too big ? this guy has huge hands so he can wear all the big ones - they look perfect on him
"This guy has huge hands" should I take that as a compliment?...lol.
@@maverickwatchreviews technically yes, this watch looks cartoonishly oversized on any normal person's wrist
How do you set the alarm manually. Thanks.
Que tal funciona 3 años después?

Iv just bought the new black and gold version, big but beautiful, fan thingy useless but looks good 😂
Bro how's it like overall features,looks etc .
What’s the difference between the GST-B100D-1ACR and the GST-B100D-1AER? Is it in the finish of the steel?

it should be very wearable with the rubber strap, have you tried?
I have one with rubber bands, it’s very very comfortable, I’m wearing it rn, typing this comment. I’m also the guy who owns some Casioak. Let me tell u, it’s just as comfortable.
Agree with you ... amazing machinery👍👍👍
Never thought you'd say 40-42mm is ideal. Size is something that keeps me away from those seiko astron or citizen satellite wave stuff
A rock in a river never stays sharp. It always gets smoothed over time.
Hello
Can you tell, how precisely this model moves, how many seconds is the permissible error for a month or a year?
Zero seconds if you connect with your phone. It synchronizes with the server to avoid errors
Nice review, no NATO for this baby.
Brod I bought mine yesterday gshock GST_B100 until now still problem not connectING to my iPhone se and Huawei mate .
Shock shock shock. They should have put Shock on the watch one more time..not
Lol ...... kind of like the Hummer H2 and the Ford RS .
Very true. I have the older model. every thing is nice except that every time i look i get distracted by all these writings .when really they no use.
I got 20 deep as seconds of laughter from you post!!! I had to lean back and relax while I laughed…. I kept hearing shock shock shock!!
Hysterical, the watch is on my wrist, just got it, not yet used / adjusted the band.
Thank you. Humor as f!-)
Bro I tried to connect the watch with my mobile ,but shows failed to connect,I don't know what the reason.pls hlp
M.S MANOJ delete the app and re install it again and put the watch above the phone,, cheers
Charge your watch
Happened with me and the b200. Installed the app, tried multiple times for no connect. Went into app and it has trouble shooting guide. It says to turn phone off, turn phone on, and try again.
Did that. Connected immediately.
Make sure the stopwatch (chronograph) Is no running, it will never connect like that.
Pretty amazing that you used your feet for the entire review; original.
Nice vid, subbed... btw on some spots during the vid you sound pretty similar to Seth Rogan! :L)
Yeah, I know and have heard that literally hundreds of times now...lol.

Over time they’ll come out anyway but I probably sped mine up when cleaning it with a toothbrush 😅
That turbine wheel is annoying, it shouldn’t be there at all
Agreed!
this is a battery indicator
my opinion-this wheel looks great
I like the wheel.... but why doesn’t it just stay on battery level?
How to start this watch
Watch to start how?
Just got the watch love it but omg ass much ass the watch cost it wood come with a better box than a metal tin that look like thay put alot in the watch but the tin 10$ suck but love the watch
Yeah, I thought same, but it's the same tin whether you pay 50 dollars or 500.
i no what you mean i normal take the box out and about with me
what do you expect, it's just a $350 watch. And who cares about the bog anyway. I got a pile of boxes which are unnecessarily oversized, especially Tissot, taking tons of space. All watches instantly go into the watch box, easier access for me, less hustle for the burglars))
I like the watch, however, that turbine is a no-no.
