I have the GWG-2000-1A1JF and it is a absolutely stunningly beautiful watch. I have been a fan of G Shocks for many years and have owned a considerable number of them. This by far is the most expensive G Shock that I have ever owned, but it is so beautiful that I simply had to have it. At first setting it seemed to be quite daunting but after watching the numerous tutorial videos and familiarizing myself with the buttons and their functions it is easy to navigate to accomplish what you want to do. My only issue with the GWG-2000 is that I am a stickler for the exact, precise time and my 2000 will not RC in auto mode. I get the L1 reading inside my dwelling which indicates that the signal will not be received. This is the first watch of any make that I have owned that has had this issue and at the 2000's exorbitant price point totally unforgivable. I have went outside and did a manual receive and the level was 2/3 with success but I should not be required to do a manual receive with such a expensive watch. Casio dropped the ball somewhere along the line.
When you're sleeping put your arm outside the window like you're Mr Tickle lol 😆 I agree its a beautiful watch and yes sometimes our houses block signals . I love it too just wish it did more occasionally ie steps (not that I ever count steps or sunrise sunset given it gets data like Rangeman. Thank you for posting great comment
Excellent! Thank you! I have been waiting on a video that would give an in-depth tutorial on the GWG-2000. I finally got mine(1a5jf) in from Japan. I bought it on October 21st, it got lost in the DHL hub for 3 weeks, and finally received it Tuesday. I am very happy to have it now and am busy learning all the functions, I really needed this, as I am a visual learner. I truly appreciate it. All my other watches have found themselves in sudden retirement. I have a feeling the honeymoon period will be a very long time indeed. Side note: Is that a Fjallraven Anorak? I love Fjallraven, it is all I wear in the Fall and Winter! We might be brothers! Enjoy that Sunshine!
It's one of those country innovation coats quite old and rarely used long ago but tbh for dog walking pretty good and outdoor stuff just not hiking too heavy its double ventile
Glad you enjoyed the video any questions shoot em my way its a great watch you'll definitely love it thank you so much for watching and posting comment. Sadly home now lol I did most video in maldives all the dark bits were first on balcony but then I thought I need sun in video so popped off for bit of reshoot lol time just flew 😅 then home and remembered a few more bits 😅
Thanks for detailed live tutorial! Very useful video. 1 question regarding the indicators: What are "reset" (between 2 abd 3), "start" (between 3 and 4), "over" (between 10 and 11) and "under" (between 7 and 8) ?
I enjoyed your video. I was disappointed with the gwg2000 model, this model has not changed its specs. However, the case design was well made so I bought one the gray color model.
Thank you. Yes its a shame they didn't add something to it. Step counter or sunrise sunset if radio control can access that.... but only available in some countries.
@@SupaBuma haha thanks that is a learning curve for sure 😄 I did a video whilst camping on the music and sleeping thing on apple vs fenix lol I'll do more moving forward bare with me on it all got a back log and a stressy wife knackering me out lol but I'm loving the channel and entertaining you all best i can in my daft unique way 😄 so you must have seen live stream then on wrong channel pmsl as I mentioned it there or did I mention in the video on gwg 2000 I can't keep up myself 😀
Thanks Paul. I made a boo boo and live streamed about camping on this channel by mistake lol and for some reason it didn't save it. I did another on here after but no one around and wasn't sure if it would save it of course it did but I'll not keep it as mostly me explaining to no one my error lol live and learn
My understanding is that with the crown unscrewed, the watch is no longer water resistant; however, I am not sure. Very good question. I hope someone has a definitive answer.
Love your video Just got my GWG mud master 2000 I cannot get any sounds from it , battery is M , Crown screwed in hourly sig on , key sounds on , if i press alarm test button also no test sound any ideas ?
Hello That is odd. Are you saying that when signal on alarm on key sounds on ie everything on its silent? Can I ask how do test alarm ? I've not heard of that Let's see what we can figure out :)
@@wildaboutwatchesthanks for your reply yes nothing works I found the test function in this UA-cam video ua-cam.com/video/HQA-V3Z9vuA/v-deo.html at 1:24:23 in video it shows an alarm test
@MalcolmRobbins ah Mr Rangeman he is good. Yes it works on mine. Its not very loud though in fact I have to concentrate to hear it. Correct go to alarms then long press bottom right. You could place next to phone and set recorder on phone to record then play back up volume. No idea if it'll work lol thanks for watching and reaching out.
Yes correct Set the one you want and some are half hour increments ie if that destination is half hour then it sets accordingly. Thank you so much for watching and posting comment. I worded it badly. Hope to see you in comments again
There is none lol odd miss by g shock Only tell by second hand skipping seconds to indicate its low. In reality unless its in a draw at home it should be fine 🙂
Hello yes this is my error when you go to TIME long bottom left it does give a letter to indicate level. Only just fond out (despite seeing the letter I never twigged what it was lol ops)
Only works in countries that have the technology. Australia doesn't which is surprising for big country. I only mention Australia as info. I think only a few countries have the technology other than that use manual or I believe an app on phone sends out a signal....
Have to be a mad Englishman I guess lol thank you for your great comment and interest in my video. May I ask what you enjoyed vs our friends across the pond :) It's funny as someone posted comment on my gwg 2000 video the big viewed one how "rubbish" I was so I engaged politely and he was like you're an ok bloke lol some really nice folks out there and I thank you all :) Hope to see you again in comments
@@wildaboutwatches wow, m surprised, i have checked my protrek prw3500, it has independent too, i though they are related and never bothering calibrating my altimeter, since it was going to fluctuate during pressure changes,.. Now i know, but i heard altimeter gets its reading from barometric sensor... Was that for older models...?
@@tagelorder this is my guess... I'm very sure it still uses pressure just a separate sensor or same one but calibrated separately. The altimeter does vary if left alone I'm very sure. It's different to my garmin fenix which seems connected to each other. Did you see my sensor video? I only twigged when looking at kestrel and how that works with two pressure sensors.
@@wildaboutwatches they SHOULD BE INDEPENDANT of each other because of pressure changes. If you remain static but theres a storm coming, pressure is going to be low but not altimeter - altimeter should remain the same because you are not moving up or down.
@@syedabdulhalim23 it still works off pressure though just separate so it will rise fall if static and weather changes It really just means if you stay static and forget to calibrate it the baro gives a good indication of weather
@@wildaboutwatches yes even suunto core itself is pricy, they didnt change anything since 2012 or whatever. Materials are pretty cheap, straps break every year or two and they cost 40-50$. There are non g shock casios with altimeter barometer for like 50$ 😀 suunto has sunset sunrise and compass included. 11 years going strong, looks like garbage but it works 😂
I couldn't figure out the functions without your amazing video. Thank you so much!
Pleasure :)
I bought it and I'm enjoying it , cheers 🍻
That's why they give you a instruction manual
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have just received it from Germany!! All the best for 2022. Cheers!
Pleasure
Just got the watch today, your video is very intuitive and easy to follow. Thank you
Pleasure thank you
and super well done run-down of the features, very well covered - nothing missed at best of my knowledge of module 5660

En Estados Unidos esta el gwg2000
Well said mate .thank you so much for sharing this vedio ❤
Outstanding video sir. It is very useful.
Pleasure happy to hear it was useful and thank you for watching my channel and posting comment
Thanks excellent 👍
Worth noting - the UK doesn't use GMT in the summer hence why you have London time. Nice watch.
Thanks for detailed live tutorial! Very useful video.
1 question regarding the indicators:
What are "reset" (between 2 abd 3), "start" (between 3 and 4), "over" (between 10 and 11) and "under" (between 7 and 8) ?
Excellent review, good sir!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful watch, but i will wait for the updated model to come out. This Friday!
The new model is smaller, the dial is ugly and the bioresin looks cheap. Stick with the GWG-2000.
Is ties you to your phone, and looks like a piece if junk strapped to your wrist
Very informative tutorial 👍 also from 3:40-6:00 it looks like you are at Grand Park Khodipparu resort Maldives?
I enjoyed your video. I was disappointed with the gwg2000 model, this model has not changed its specs. However, the case design was well made so I bought one the gray color model.
Thank you. Yes its a shame they didn't add something to it. Step counter or sunrise sunset if radio control can access that.... but only available in some countries.
Perfect video, untill looking at it i didnt knew how to use 90% of functions…
Hi... Could You tell me how can i set The storm alarm, thanks for your time
Excellent! Thanks!
You're welcome!
the sun never sets on this youtube channel
Thank you for such fun Happy comment 😊

Thank you for stopping by much appreciate your time
Thank you :)
It seems like the modules is identical by features to 5660, which is in ProTrek PWR-6621Y. I wonder if it is actually the same module inside.
Great video 👍

@@wildaboutwatches that's ok tony 👍
@@wildaboutwatches never mind its cool 👍
good day. do underwater watches show depth in meters? it is not very recognizable. Thank you
Good question and don’t know but I’d imagine so although unfortunately these don’t have depth guage at all
Does unscrewing the crown allow for water/mud to get inside the watch?
My understanding is that with the crown unscrewed, the watch is no longer water resistant; however, I am not sure. Very good question. I hope someone has a definitive answer.
Well done
Great 👍

@MalcolmRobbins ps this is me lol just my other channel 😂
to complicated for me and i stll want the gwg2000... maybe next year i still have to get the casio square i like first
How to change date display format on lcd from mm:dd to dd:mm?
I’ve just bought this (UK) can you change date/month format I want day first then month ?? Kind regards ps I’ve watched this video about 40 times 😂
Unfortunately not I wish you could too. Thanks for watching watch a few more times and subscribe 👍 lol take care 🙂
@@TonyHobbs Tony many thanks that’s me subscribed keep up the good work all the best from sunny Glasgow 🇬🇧👍
The watch doesnt do half hour increments, around the inside of the bezel are all the different timzones and you select the one you want
Yes correct
Set the one you want and some are half hour increments ie if that destination is half hour then it sets accordingly. Thank you so much for watching and posting comment.
I worded it badly.
Hope to see you in comments again
Does the crown make a faint clicking sound when turned?
Yes, normal....
I'm just trying to figure out how I can see how much charge the battery has on mine there is no indicator that I can find
There is none lol odd miss by g shock
Only tell by second hand skipping seconds to indicate its low. In reality unless its in a draw at home it should be fine 🙂
There is a indicater. Just switch to time and in front will be the letter H,M,L
Hello yes this is my error when you go to TIME long bottom left it does give a letter to indicate level. Only just fond out (despite seeing the letter I never twigged what it was lol ops)
So I tried connecting to atomic clock by placing in front of window
No luck! I placed it in the bathroom no windows and it connects to atomic clock
Very odd. Height difference or direction maybe. Or different times. Enjoy watch :) see you again in comments
The altimeter is incredibly useless. I have a protrek with the same features.
Does the alarm has a snooze option?
No. Thanks for watching
Where can we see battery level
Just push and hold the bottom left button about 2 seconds. On the digital display you will see "H", "M" or "L" mean High, Medium and Low battery level
👍Top Watch
wait I thought the rc signal would update the watch anywhere in the world.
Only works in countries that have the technology. Australia doesn't which is surprising for big country. I only mention Australia as info. I think only a few countries have the technology other than that use manual or I believe an app on phone sends out a signal....
Great video! How come no Americans ever make these videos?
