Man, this channel turned me into a g-shock lover. I never really paid any attention to g-shock in the past but now I got a GA-2000 on my purchase list. Gotta start from the basic model.
I'm glad you've caught the bug. It happened to me 4 years ago after purchasing an atomic/solar square (5610). Gs are such great value and are trusty companions. I wear nothing but Gshock, switching from my favourite G, my daily shift G, the square - to an evenings and weekend GPW1000. I'm a middle aged guy, with not the best eyesight and the display is super clear.
While exploring the GPW 1000, I stumbled upon your reviews and instructional videos and found them as THE best on YT. You have a beyond fantastic narration with all relevant information. You are holding the watch steady and in good view and the camera and lighting are perfect as well. Could not ask for more. Many thanks! 😻
i dont usually watch watches reviews .. but when its from watch geek it is a must watch. greetings from iraq i love g shocks and i bought few of them as much as i can find in this country.
*Man, having a timepiece with the capability of the correct time synced with GPS anywhere on earth, at anytime of the day is something to be coveted. Hope to have one in pristine condition preowned in a few years when the price drops. And it has a Super Illuminator that emits light on the whole dial? Yeeaahhhh buddyyyyyyy!!!*
GSHOCK watches are good as far as i m concern, since i have 3 Gshocks..all solar powered..and never had any problem, even using it on swimming, no problem...specially The MUDMASTER-GWG-1000 all around watch...solar powered..been using this watch for more than 3 years...no problems at all...
Well I’m in Turkey on holiday and one of the things I was excited about was to sync a few of my radio controlled Casio watches to the local time only to find out Turkey isn’t in range. Funny enough I was about to buy the GPW watch but talked myself out of it!
Hi. I am quite sure this particular watch got introduced in 2013 as I remember seeing this watch at a watch shop overseas in 2013 and thought, wow, what a cool looking watch. Great video though :).
Having trouble finding the information, is there a battery level indicator on the GPW-1000 models? Or am I just supposed to wait until it goes into some sort of low energy level mode? Not seeing anything about it without completely rereading the instructions. If you can help, Thanks in advance!
*_If the second hand ticks every hr., your timepiece has a High charge. If the second hand only moves in two second increments, it’s at a Med. level & needs to be charged pronto. At this stage, certain functions will be disabled. You may only have the functionality of Home Time Mode._* *_If your functions haven’t any movement, your batter is dying. But although solar batteries die, they can be revived with elongated charging. During elongated charging, to elevate your battery level will back to H, this may take a few (3 to 4) days of constant sunlight/solar watch charging station time._*
I have a problem with my GPW1000-1B.. everytime i will do manual time calibration thru "TIME" or "T+P". The second hand will just directly point to "NO" and back to timekeeping mode, without doing any searching. Any tips on how to solve this problem? thank you.
Hiya,not a Gshock but a Casio mrw 200 h is a pure analogue with day/date and timing bezel and 43 mm case for about £ 20.00. Could pass as a gshock no problem and 100 ms water resist! Cheers.
I love this watch I have the gpw1000kh-3ajf which in my opinion is a really cool color. Watch geek it would be really awesome if you could do a detailed function review on the watch if you don't mind continue making awesome videos cheers
Can you please tell me your thoughts on a gw-3000m-4aer model. I see that it is a gravitymaster series but it seems that it is a lesser known model. Thank You in advance
@@traviswalker8933 usually locally, if however I plan on keeping the watch for myself I buy it overseas. Sadly Timex doesn't make me want to get one for myself, so buying it just for the video doesn't make sense to me. If I find one locally from someone willing to lend it to me, I'll do the video 😊
I have had this watch (GPW-1000) from 2014 (day after launch), bought new. I wouldn't recommend it. For me, the GPS reception function has simply stopped working. I can't verify the MultiBand 6 as I am in a country that doesn't reliably receive the radio signal. So I'm reduced to setting the watch manually. In addition, the strap is quite brittle despite having all kinds of "carbon resin" and what not labels. And as someone else mentioned, it is an uncomfortable watch to wear. Yup, heavy and chunky, and that would be fine except the damn crown really does dig into the dorsum of your hand if you wear it on the left wrist. Even when the watch was working perfectly, the GPS reception for time and place would take quite a long time (minutes) even in a perfectly empty field under a clear sky. Time alone is a bit quicker, but it's still inconvenient. Plus the UI (user interface) is ridiculously unintuitive and overcomplicated. This video makes it look easy, but it shouldn't even have to be explained like this. And many functions are crippled from the factory with the lack of a digital display. Only a 24 min stopwatch and no split function, for example. And the alarm is one of the quietest I've ever heard. Probably to save on the solar battery, but it's not actually usable and I'm not that heavy a sleeper. In short, this watch is vastly overpriced for what you actually get. Steer clear of it. Go for the newer Bluetooth models. I have two, and they work very well. Everyone has a smartphone nowadays. And simple Bluetooth only models are so much cheaper than anything with GPS functionality. The point of the GPW-2000 (the updated version of this) having GPS + MB6 + Bluetooth really escapes me. Save your dimes.
I am slightly confused, when I pulled up Rescue Red on Google it shows various watches including the GravityMaster with a "Bright Red" band, the one in the video appears orange. Then there are ones with an orange band and a copper looking ring around the face which comes up as the 4AJF model. Also noted are red hands on the lower left quadrant area, whereas the one with the orange band has white hands??
How many of these "Rescue Red" models did they make, for example was it limited to 5000 of each?? Is there a way to research this info? Thought about getting one, but appeared to be a basic one that had the bezel and straps changed so they could sell it for looking like the rescue red model.
The only things I found annoying with mine were the crown becomes 'unlocked' much too easily and that, especially compared to the GPW-2000, reading the stopwatch and countdown timer seems much less intuitive. If you haven't done one already I would like to see a review on the GPW-2000 which I am a big fan of. Thanks very much.
Love watching your g shock review and tutorial. One of the only channel that goes in detail on the module and is in english. Will you do more casio edifice review? cause I can't seem to find much that goes into detail and in english
i bought this today and it looks amazing in real but honestly i can't understand the pricing "$1,331" paid it from a small shop in a mall that sells exclusively Casio watches
Thanks for the review ! ... Great looking but thats it ...for me way too pricey for a GPS Time basic watch only ? .... I still prefer my Casio Rangeman GPR- B1000 with all its functions !!! nothing to beat.
@@vrslider The battery life for the Rangeman GPR- B1000 brilliant always showing 3 full bars its Solar powered and lasts... never had an issue.... according to specs 29 month.... when you use GPS 33 hours again never had an issue ,,, you can Charge it via USB cable or Sunlight . .. personally the best G-Shock ever made...Rangeman GPR- B1000 GPS.
I was thinking about buying that Rangeman but I wanted an analog watch so went with the Gravitymaster GRB100. I have a Protrek WSD F20 which has GPS and ABC. It's a smartwatch though. Casio's GPS is awesome!
@@ameyajoshi742 You should of gone for the GPW-7000-3 green version which I also own .... it has the most functions of ALL Protreks it has it ALL...except for GPS and Depht gauge which is not needed... It has Sapphire Glass and the most good looking of All. Fantastic Watch my Favourite Piece when I go Fishing ,Hiking you name it.... This is the Watch to own.
*A 24 minute Stop Watch? Come on Casio!!! One reason I'm reticent to wear my GW3000 is because of the mere 24 minute SWM. If it weren't for the Tough Movement, Tough Solar, and Multiband 6 features, that model wouldn't get a second look from me.* *24 min SW but a 24 hour Countdown Timer?????????

Very amazing watch..hope one of this days..i have this kind of watch..this is my dream watch..tnx for this info..
I have two of them. Red & orange color that they are my favorite among all g shocks. Absolutely love them!

nice video. i bought a mudmaster already thanks to your channel
Just picked up the 4a model with the orange band for £265.00 box and papers in very good condition. Absolutely love it.
Hi WatchGeek. How to check the battery charge of this watch? Thank you
Hi. I am quite sure this particular watch got introduced in 2013 as I remember seeing this watch at a watch shop overseas in 2013 and thought, wow, what a cool looking watch. Great video though :).
is this a good watch to have in a G Shock collection compared to the 2000?
Beautiful watch, I just picked up a new black version for £375!! I thought that was a pretty great price.
I love your video. before this I never knew about gshock.but when i watch your video I intrested in gshock
@Watch Geek which in your opinion is the best watch from the g-shock line ?
Bought it for 670eur.Its even better in person.Worth the money love it.
hi..🙋♂️
how i can know if recived the radio signal (no gps signal) last night for exemple
Gpw1000 is a beast mode of g shock! Amazing and hard!

That lug to lug is .... intimidating :)
I have one and is marked year 2014 ? GPW-1000-1BJF
Apart from its high price considering its basic funktions it looks absolutely stunning!
Is it possible for dust to be trap inside GPW1000? I've seen about 3 or 4 dust speck underneath the sapphire glass of my GPW1000.
Gpw 1000 is the best of all .... is a beast!
Hello can you tell me what the letters A & P mean on the watch face either side of the 12 o'clock mark on the G shock Gulfmaster GWN1000 please
Love me a Casio any day. This one is awesome. Great review.
do you know any g-shock models that are pure analog (no lcd subdials) that's below 200USD ?
You can only find such a G Shcok at that price in the used market.

Great video.. Quick question. If my gw6900 is in PS mode will it be able to receive the sync if it is off at night??
Thx
Yes, it wakes up to get the time and falls back asleep after it does jt
@@WatchGeek Like my wife........lol. Thx buddy. But i cant seem to get it......
You are the CASIOMASTER!
Haha thanks 😊
This watch looks much better than any of the new two variants by G-Shock. Sure, its huge, but the design is on point.
I want this watch so badly
Nice review! I think the army green version is the best looking one though.
Can you please tell me your thoughts on a gw-3000m-4aer model. I see that it is a gravitymaster series but it seems that it is a lesser known model. Thank You in advance
I love GShocks... Have GW A1000FC, GW 9400, GD 350, G 510... And I had two others but needed to sell... To buy GW 9400 and GD 350 ;)
I have a GRB100 Gravitymaster and a Protrek WSD F20. The protrek has GPS and ABC functions. My gravitymaster has bluetooth
The best G-Shock I have ever seen.
Sir can you tell me which one is the best the GPW 1000 or GWG 1000 ?!
No
Great watch. Nice review. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Will you do a review and tutorial of the Timex Shock series watches? That'd be really helpful considering how in-depth your tutorials are.
Timex are almost non existing in my country so it is very hard to get one

Sapphire
I have the gold on black edition, I love it

You might call me stupid but I like G Shocks more than Rolex lol

Is it equipped with CASIO'S TOUGH SOLAR ???
Yes

Thanks amigo
My next watch ❤
Damn I ended buying a gravity master which I’m loving 👍
Same here there is something about the Gravitymaster lol
I realy like Gshocks but this monster have...too many functions to remember and cost of 2 seiko samurai lol...cheers man!
Isnt the atomic clock in the US shut down? So they are only 5 left.
Nope, the military intervened and stopped the shutdown
Is this watch the same size as the Mud Master GWG-1000??
Approximately yes
That's a beautiful watch!
