I've been wearing Casio's new G-Shock G-Lide GBX-100 for a few days and have compiled a handful of pros and cons of this new Bluetooth G-Shock watch. Suffice to say, I really enjoy this watch even though it lacks solar power and some other features that typically come standard on G-Shock watches.
Get a better look at the watch's menu system and some additional features of its software. Even though I can't review every single feature of this watch feel free to leave any questions or comments below and I'll do my best to answer them.
I highly recommend this watch so pick it up if you can!

Finally, a smartwatch that its a watch and not a wristphone
this is a good point. It's a watch with some smart functions rather than vice versa. of course I felt the same about my gbx6900B from like 6 years ago.
Sergio Henrique still an original GShock moron
Sergio Henrique Apple products are made where?
@@SHP99UBER Take your foolishness elsewhere, it isn't welcome here.
Smartwatch are toy with bad design and built quality
Now THIS is how to do a watch review. No irritating music , no mumbling, no repeated pleas to 'like and subscribe,. Well done. Just pre-ordered one. I also just got a gbd h1000, which is almost the same watch, just in a different form and with GPS & HRM. Looking forward to getting my gbx100 and I'll keep my eye on your channel for more tips.👍🏻
Thank you kindly!
@@WatchingCasio very informative, and concise explanation with a excellant presentation- unlike so so many with doof doof and annoying whining on
@@jonathansimmons5353 LOL thanks man
Casio should use this display for all their future watches.
But all the old farts would be up in arms if the beloved 5600 changed!
Naw. It's a bit much. I have a phone
I agree, display looks really good
gshock straight up killing it this time with a lot of new addition to their line. it makes me want to start buying em again
Thank you Sir!! It's definitely at the top of my "FATHER'S DAY GIFT" list...
Best watch review ever. And have looked and reviewed to many to count. Clear and uderstandable. Will choose this watch for mysel. Needed to learn everything. You gave it to me, Concise and smoothly. Phoenix Guy
This Module together with Tough Solar an a 5600 Bezel would be the perfect watch! Love the Tide Graph stuff, nice to Look at.
I love all the G-lide line of Casio watches, the moonphase and tide chart are very useful water activities like fishing or surfing, and the water protection is a plus too
for me doesn't make any sense this watch for surfers...there's no infos about wind and swell, what can I do with tie informations?
Thank you kindly for posting this. Very helpful info to have pre-purchase!!
my god this is the perfect youtube channel for me! I am a huge sucker for casio and gshock watches. Keep up the good work man! you have a knack for these reviews! I look forward to more from you!
Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks for the tutorial in your review. Very helpful as I wait for my order to arrive.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this watch.. Just got one! Thanks for the nice informative review
this watch is on my watchlist. gonna buy after they arrived in my country. thanks for the review man, superb!
Hope you enjoy it!
THANKS A LOT! great content
My favorite watch. Initially purchased for display. But found, especially in hot weather, that light weight and breathability of strap make it a must wear.
Thanks for the review 👍🏻
Hopefully they'll release a tough solar version.
How would it work?
🤞🙌Hopefully
@@uuuultra upsidedown probobly
Yeah that's also why I just bought the gwb5600 as my beater watch a few days ago, needed one for work, sport and boating.
Once that one comes out with tough solar.....yeah I see myself buying this one.
meh, nothing wrong with battery.
Great review thank you
Great review, thanks heaps.
Best video ive seen on this watch. Nothing worse than these influencers on YT trying to sell us a product without an honest thorough review.
Love this watch so much I bought one,, eek so excited lol can't wait for it to come.. 😁
Gonna pick one of these up to help me keep track of the tides and moon phases when I'm out surf fishing. Your hands are always occupied so this makes a lot of sense even though people say the features are gimmicky
Great detailed review! The few cons don't dissuade me, I will enjoy the large, clear display, big light button, tide info, step counter, and I'll probably even use the phone finder more than I care to admit. This is the Casio under $200 that I've long awaited.
Glad it was helpful!
You Make Such Awesome Videos, Sir!!! You Gave Such A Good, Honest Review Of This Watch's Many Features!!! 👍👍👍
I appreciate that!
@@WatchingCasio You Definitely Deserve It For Your Hard Work In Making Your Video!!! 👍
Thanks a lot for the honest opinion! Please keep doing these reviews.
Sure thing!
Wow what a boatload of features. Very nice review.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video. I bought one 2 weeks ago and this video helped me set it up perfectly for my needs. The watch is superb and very comfortable and easy to view. I fish from the beach in the sea, so the tide function is ace, although I haven't used it yet, it will save me having to check websites for high and low tide times. Like wise when I go birdwatching at the ocean for sea birds and waders. Brilliant.
Nice! Still love mine and wear it often.
A hybrid watch. The old-time case and G-Shock feature set going back to 1983 combined with a modern fully-addressable display as found in a smart watch. Nice!
Thank you, a big help! 👍
Best Casio Square yet? what an improvement in all aspects! oh my goodness.
Great review
Wow! Great watch!
this is a very nice channel.. glad i found it
Glad you enjoy it!
Cool new model ! Great review !
Thanks!
I think this might be watch of the year.
My teal one just came in today, worth it! watch looks and feels amazing
Nice!! That's a pretty sweet color too. Glad you like it. I still haven't taken it off since the day I got it.
@@WatchingCasio the moon/tide graphs are sick plus the sunset and sundown feature are amazing. So many different displays this is the ultimate watch for us ppl living next to a beach
Got my teal version today and its pretty awesome. I live in NC so it didn't take long for Reeds to get it to me.
Thank you for your great review!
I am about to buy this watch and most of all I will be using the countdown timers. Could you please help me with this:
After setting all timers, how do you access them? Is there a button that cycles through the presets?
Also, next time you go into timer mode is the last used preset active?
There is no mention about that in the instruction manual.
Thanks for run through. I have a Garmin with a similar display and it's so much better than a negative display 5600 i used to own. I have a positive display 5610 right now and have sometimes thought that Casio need to "get with the times" and move to these kinds of transflective displays. Now it's here though I'm not sure if it's lost a bit of charm..
Watch people are fickle!
Yeah I've never had one before and think it's pretty awesome. Though you're right, the traditional LCDs do have a certain charm to them.
Maybe they’ll do a blackout version of the 5600 with this display. Oooohhhh....!!
Hope casio release a version with solar. Looks great though and has some useful smart features.
i really hope that in a few years they can get to the point where this quality of screen can fit in an a168 style watch. really my only gripe with my a1000d is that the screen doesnt particularly fit the aesthetic of the rest of the watch.
Casio is saving costs on the A1000D.
I just ordered one, now watching the review 😅
Put my preorder in today! Glad I waited a week, went from $270 on eBay to $160 preorder directly from GShock. Thanks for detailed module review !
Very nice. Hope you like it!
$119
So getting one asap!!
There's a lot of positive. The watch is beautiful to look at. The MIP display is something I've been waiting for Casio to put on a watch since like 2014 when my coworker showed me his Pebble (remember pebble?) for clarity, viewing angle, low light viewing, etc. And tbh I assume this will be something Casio adds to MORE watches in the future, because there's too much "crap" on this one. Maybe surfers want a tide graph and workout counter etc; I'd just want solar/mb6/led backlight/5 alarm/cdt/basic WATCH functions with the good display. LIke if they made my G9300 Mudman with a MIP display, I'd buy it now.
Still, sorry to bitch. The watch rules. I can't wait to see more MIP displays. It's awesome.
Tie graph doesn't tell anything for surfers, we need to know about the wind and swell
Thanks man now im down connected with my app & phone
Good range of features for the price, pity about hourly chime and chrono 100th sec missing but for once a negative display you can read, all negative displays should be like this
Excellent review!
Amazing watch. I wish watch had direction (North/South/E/W) or a someway to show the compass. It would have been perfect.
Your'e quite right about this watch. Explanatory review like others shows all the features. I was thinking of getting this model for just two reasons. The MIP visibility (so clear!) and the fact it has a vibe alarm. I am hearing impaired. I have a GD 350 which has the vibration feature, but it isn't very strong after 5 years. I thought the GBX might be better, but you didn't dwell on it. I don't like all the other complicated features, especially if you say the access is complex and somewhat inaccurate. I won't be ordering this one.
Great video, for the step counter, do you need to connect to bluetooth or gps in order to enable the step counter function?
No, It uses the accelerometer.
Very promising, hope they'll get the wrinkles smoothed out over the next couple of years and, if they put out a model with a cleaner-looking bezel, I look forward to getting one.
If the bezel was gun metal like it looks in the thumbnail it would look even more badass

Of course we can't be sure what the designers thought, but the hassle to view notifications can be related to: every "classic" smartwatch is just a tool to decide if you have to take out your smartphone or not, you actually can't do anything more on the watch (generally speaking), so you just decide if it's important enough to take out your phone or not, and that's it.
Thanks. Feels like a missed opportunity to make something pebble owners would've loved.
I'm still wearing my Pebble, hoping for something as good to come along. In fact I just bought a new (to me) Pebble 😊. Many of the smart watches out there are so thick compared to Pebble. I'd like to have a Casio smart watch to replace my Pebble, but this still needs work.
How does the profile setting work? Is it possible to set 2 tide locations and flip between them?
I just got this watch. The video was great to help setting it up in addition to the manual. It’s a shame that this is such a high feature watch yet the date can’t be switched around like on my 5600 Square G. The lag is also a bit of an issue. I do like the tide, moon phase and step counter, as well as the MIP display making a negative screen finally readable. Shame it’s not solar but battery swaps every two years isn’t an issue.
I haven’t used the app. And I won’t. I don’t really see why I need to create an account when my Mudmaster has an app that’s fast, easy to use and doesn’t need to sign into anything.
Will definitely buy this, I hope availability is there in future.
G Shock made this model to keep on the phase in smart watch trend while maintaining its all condition tool watch for what its brand is known for. BUT still... original standard square g shock that has solar, multiband 6 will remain the badass watch.
Any idea on how you can reset the seconds back to 00. Do you have to do it via your smartphone?
could you please double check if the the hourly chime as well as the option to change the language and date settings to european standard are really absent in this watch? I can't really believe that. Thanks in advance!
No needs for that. This watch doesn't have it. Same on GBD 100 and H1000. Big shame!
Great review. Can you update the firmware to fix the bugs? Any newer improved models?
Recently got into the Casio rabbit hole after my f91w bit the dust. Got me a g shock square the 5610 with solar and multiband and it's great but this looks so much more modern and stylish. Don't know about the battery life though really sucks they don't have a version with tough solar I'd buy that in a heartbeat
Fabulous watch. I REALLY hope they produce a solar version. European date mode would also be nice.
Almost ordered it! Love the big buttons and all the advanced features for a Square but no solar charging! I can do without atomic clock but solar assures no issues with the battery life for years. Why didn't Casio select to include solar?
I'm getting one when they make an all black version
for real man, when you drive with your hand at 12 o'clock that stainless steel reflect the sun into your soul.
They just did.
Thanks for your two videos about this new model, and for pointing out the cons as well as the pros.
If you select a port in the Southern Hemisphere, does the moon phase graphic flip horizontally (left for right) as it should? If not, this is a con for those living south of the equator. Models from 2010 like the GWX-5600 and GW-9110 do have the option to set the moon phase orientation for Southern Hemisphere locations.
Thanks man! And yes, in the manual it states that the images for the moon phases are reversed for the southern hemisphere.
@@WatchingCasio Do they mean correctly reversed or just that it appears reversed from reality? Maybe you can select a Southern Hemisphere port to verify this.
I got this few days back, only to realize that it does not have hourly chime. As you said Bummer !!! :)
G-Shock will SMASH with this one. Looks modern, dusplay seems fantastic 👏 and the price... perfect! I have two metal squared ones and love them but they seem old school compared with this one.
Thanks for a proper review 🤗👍
Just bought one and man they look even better in person!
good work
Looks cool. Will probably buy one. Not having solar does not really bother me, but does anyone know how long the battery is expected to last? Thanks!
Looks sweet
Can alarms be configured for vibration only without silencing the beeper elsewhere in the watch's operation? Would love to see demos of the alarm system in a watch any time it (or other features it interacts with) deviates from the brand's usual design choices. Before vibration was included in casio watches, of course there was no option to silence the beeper for alarms because... what would it even mean to have an alarm if its only way to alert you is silenced? But on a watch with vibration, the user may want a choice. So what choices are available?
I wish there was an ABC model square like this that was solar and Bluetooth.
there is BT icon sits above the DST word- top left corner.
What is it?
Can it be connected to strava and synced with the gps location of your phone? Like the GBD200
Is the watch as rugged as a g shock I hit my current g shock on walls and a hvac technician
when i looked at the manual pdf i think i saw a part that kinda hinted at software/firmware updates through the app, so there may be the possibility for some missing features added and annoyances being fixed hopefully
Man, I hope so.
Like changing the order of main screens. I have my GG-B100 set to Time> Stopwatch> Timer> Alarm> Temp> Baro. That way the stopwatch is just two buttons to activate! It's done though the app only. You can even remove features completely by un-checking them. Frustrating how they pick and choose which previously established features NOT to use for your inconvenience..
@@GoldenBlade99 you can remove features from the main menu on a lot of Timex digitals. it's a good feature.
thats a nice looking watch.
Hello there, thank you for the review. I'd like to know wether or not the watch has an automatic restart for the countdown timer. I have been unable to find an answer to that specific question. If you have the time, please do let me know.
Yep, it has auto repeat. Check the manual in the description!
When using the step counter does the watch need to be near the phone or does it count them itself?
Great review. It's strange that they don't show the 100th/s of seconds in the stopwatch after you stop the timing. This would at least give you a bit more precision without needing the display to show it live. I also wonder if a standard square G-Shock combi bracelet would fit this case as they are awesome and I put one on my GWM5610.
Yeah, exactly. I have other Casio watches that do exactly that. Not sure why they didn't include it. Weird.
@@WatchingCasio I would also love a "date/time record" function where you can capture a screenshot of the active display for review later like they include in the GW9400-1 Rangeman. This would be handy when I need to record takeoff and touchdown times when I fly.
Enjoyed the video, thanks! Sadly, no hourly chime + no solar = major deal breaker. Couple that with the reported software bugs and lags/sluggishness reinforces the old saying: never buy a v 1.0 something.
Great review, very informative :) I wish they made this watch a bit more of a classic G Shock tool watch but with some extra neat features and a bit less smart watch-y. The step counter and sun/moon/tide options are awesome new editions to the classic 5600 style of watch that Id gladly pay extra for. But just give me those features with a classic simple scroll through with one push of a button to cycle modes. I find myself annoyed that the watch seems to have many bloatware type features and all this menu/settings navigation, and app compatibility most of which just isnt necessary aside from setting tide location and even that could be remedied by just having a simple coordinate input. There needs to be some sort of in between option for people who just want a couple extra features in their classic style G Shock. All features regarding bluetooth should just not be present at all imo and it feels more like a marketing gimmick than anything. Do away with notifications entirely, they clearly suck and it would be far easier, faster and less of a nuisance to just take my phone out of my pocket than use the watch for that. Do away with the time sync, etc. Instead give me the better non-bluetooth, no notifications or smartphone gimmicks battery life and a 6 band time sync, since its just straight up better and works without any finicky efforts. Other than that it seems like an awesome watch concept overall and Im glad theyre putting effort into more unique and technologically advanced options for people who love the reliability and form factor of the classic G Shock but seek some useful extra features, I just think they went a little too far in trying to pack too many new features into an already proven form factor and shouldve stuck with simple tools/fitness features rather than trying to appeal to the smartwatch market. They could easily have made something more along the lines of what I wish this was at a slightly lower price point and then seperately made an actual dedicated smartwatch type design with say some basic touchscreen gestures, bluetooth connectivity w/ app and a host of other features at a higher price point to satisfy that market instead of trying to make both at the same time, because this iteration I dont feel succeeds in either category. Instead it does a little bit of everything but does nothing particularly well. Its too clumsy and bloated with all of its menus and features that arent particularly useful to live up to the basic tool watch design of past 5600 G Shock and lacks enough functionality and ease of use to live up to a true smartwatch design.
*Btw as an American I deeply apologize to everyone else on Earth who uses the metric system and day/month/year system. Everything would be simple and uniform globally if we decided to use the objectively better systems. We deserve to be buried 1.8288 meters deep. I dont know why we suck like this, but we do, and Im sorry.
Hey man, don’t apologize. There are countries that use the metric system and countries who have been to the moon. They are mutually exclusive.
@@taylorallen5396 Your space programs use the metric system, dummy.
@@electroplaque Lol, its funny that people care about this joke. As a matter of fact, NASA used a combination of SI and Imperial in the moon landings. Thruster data was often presented in inch-pounds for example, and burn-date too. They started transitioning more toward full SI in the 1990s with the launch and full-time manning of the ISS, but it still proves problematic to get rid of some Imperial units.
this watch solar and triple-sensor version, will be the best
I wish they would hurry up and release this in Europe !
Just bought one in Spain!
Thanks for a great review.
I was wondering if you could comment on the world time functionality of the Move app vs. the G-Shock Connected app. I love the display of the GBX100, but it appears the GWB5600 (or even the GBD800) is a better world time companion for international travel.
I've been patiently waiting for a GWB5600 with as positive display and colorway that I actually like. I'm not a fan of the gold version or the Gorillaz version. I would really like to see a 5600 that looks more like a 5610.
However, the GBX100 has a great look and display despite it being a negative display. As a result, it is on my radar as a possibility, but I want the best traveler. In the meantime, I'm relying on my AE1200.
BTW... Will the watch automatically sync home time to your current time zone when it connects to the app?
The Connected app allows you to switch local and world time much more easily. The app is just all-around better. The Move app will sync your watch with whatever you have as home time. It won't auto switch time zones (that I'm aware of).
sir does GBD 200 and this watch have same features?
That casio looks bombastic. I wish Casio could implement new robotic ring tones as well in its new watches.
Good review. The only con for me really is no solar power. Perhaps they'll do that later but it looks like most of the real estate on that display is for info. Most of those functions I won't use. Oh, yes the inability to read a notification quickly stinks too. But I ordered mine 2 days ago. Very excited.
Why do you worry about solar?
Considering that a battery is stated to be good for two years, it would be fair to say that many owners will only effect the single battery service at the end of 2 years. Twenty four months afterwards, many owners will decommission their GBX-100s due to obsolenece and the aversion of the cost associated with a Casio workshop battery service.
Solar is a fundamental and compelling benefit as there are essentially no battery replacement services to worry about. Many Casio watches are solar for this reason.
Is there any g-shock watch that automatically change location to where i am at the time when i want to see the tide? (My application is for fishing)
Are all the features accessible when in Airplane mode?
Another great video. Thanks. A lot of cons, but that display is salubrious. Things like the chime and the overly long access to notifications really do seem like a missed opportunity. Pity. I still think I'll buy it and user it for a year or two.
Does it have a vibrate only alarm?
Great review. For me, the array of functionality seems almost overkill, as I can't imagine using quite a few. Also, no solar or Multiband 6. Still, there will be plenty of buyers.
How can you put year on screen?!
Did anybody buy this version with the white strap? How dirty and quickly does it get? Is it easy to clean?
I believe the notification is simply meant to show that you have a new notification on your phone, so you can check the notification on your phone. There's only so much you can do without touchscreen and just 4 buttons. I don't really see that as a con. I think the notifications in apple watches are a gimmick, the screen is just too small to read texts, my brother has an apple watch and he never checks notifications on the watch, just pick the phone up an check it there. Everybody in my school has an apple watch but i don't like it, i prefer to stick with normal watches
This module in Frogman case with solar option. Would be my dream watch.
Does this watch have music control??? Or can anyone suggest a gshock watch with music control
