I have owned gshocks since the 90's and have been waiting for something like this. Wasn't sure if it was the right time yet to get one but this review made my decision easy. Thanks for the vid!
I love my GBD-H1000, been using for more than 2 years now, never charged using the cables and still full charge, I dont use much gps and hr, and I sync to third party apps like stridekick and its the best app for me.. I will never upgrade to H2000 if I will need to charge it every 2months.. For me step tracking is enough..
Thank you for the video. Was alittle concerned with the accuracy of the casio heart rate sensor. This coverage on indoor cycling is exactly my use case scenario and was deciding between a garmin and a casio Cheers
i have both, from my experience, instinct 2x solar far more superior. gbdh 2000 feel like simple watch compare to instinct, plus that better battery, instinct all the way
Had one, sold it. Not that I didn't like this watch. However I think function wise the Garmin Instinct is much better than this watch. Not to mention it had better phone/web app which the Casio lacks. I have a number of G-Shocks and love them all. But my experience with G-Shock software is that long term support is reeeeeeeeeally lacking. My experience with G-Shock is once they come out with a new model (usually around a year or 2 after the previous model came out) they would drop all support for the previous model. So I wouldn't hold my breath on them updating the phone or watch software for too long.
I have been on the fence whether or not to get a decent G Shock watch with the solar & compass functions as I'm in Australia & we have plenty of places to wander off, but getting back can be a trick, hence the compass/solar. The other choice was a dedicated smart watch, like a Garmin, with solar/GPS options, but also all the body monitoring sensors, this watch looks like it ticks all the right boxes, now I just have to justify the cost, oh well, anyway your video really did help so thanks. Oh, I've liked & subscribed too if that helps, cheers.
hi, maybe you can help me: whats up with the sleep tracking? i just bnnought one and have the watch on for 6 days now and it still shows no data. even though i sleep between 3-5h every night. did you have any problems with the sleep tracking? it says it onlys need two nights until it works but mine doesnt.
I am confused now between this watch (380€), Polar Ignite 3 (230€) and Samsung Watch7(349€). I wanted to know if any video guides available for training in the Casio app, similar to Samsung health. Also, are there any video training session/ guides in Polar app? I am sorry if it feels like a stupud question🙂 Which one would you recommend among the three for a casual user who is using smart watch for a first time based on the price
@@DesFit I am looking for a good allover fitness watch and after your video I am going to get this one. I needed a good honest review and you provided it. Thanks again!
In a smart watch I value long battery life notification delivery and simple use. I feel like apple watch os and wear os try to do too much. A smart watch should be a watch first and have bonus stuff after that.
Thanks for your great videos. I've owned this watch about two months now and your review is spot on. Can you comment more on solar charging? Almost all my actives are outdoors in bright sunlight yet I see no improvement in battery life. I even exposed the watch for hours on end under a bright lamp and still has zero impact on charging the battery. Other forums I've read state the same. Is this also your experience with this watch and or other Casio watches when it comes to solar charging?
G shock rangeman gw 9400 is solar powered, only. The battery stays always full charged. I this one as well, the g shock gbd-h2000 and yes, you are right. I can't see no difference in the solar charging either. I guess it only really works, if you only use the watch with non of it's features turned on.
Sure is futuristic looking. Until they make an analog version you really have to pair this with the ggb100 mudman. Or dwh5600 with the gbr200 gravitymaster.
Thank You for this review. I'm really interested in getting the other model...the DW-H5600. Is it worth reviewing or is the internals the same as this one??? Would love to see an in-depth review on that model and you do a great job focusing on workouts. Most reviews I've seen only reviews the watch minus workouts. TY!
My main exercise is mountain biking and I was excited to use this watch, but now I'm hesitant to get one after hearing about the heart-rate innaccuracy while biking! Road-biking no less! Gah, I don't know what to do
Great review!!! I've had mine for a month now. It's a great watch. Does everything which is intended to. It could have more sports added to it , definitely. Agreed. Nevertheless, it addresses the most important ones for me. Could have also surfing, that would be a great deal. I have one question for you, do you think that it might be possible that casio would add other features through the app? Like other sports, etc? I have no idea if that is possible. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
hi, maybe you can help me: whats up with the sleep tracking? i just bnnought one and have the watch on for 6 days now and it still shows no data. even though i sleep between 3-5h every night. did you have any problems with the sleep tracking? it says it onlys need two nights until it works but mine doesnt.
I bought the new DW-5600 and returned it. It's only GPS off phone so the only thing you really get is the heart rate sensor for this watch. The buttons are small and very shallow. I had to use my fingernail tips to press them. It's a cool looking classic watch but the H2000 is a way better fitness watch
This is a WONDERFUL review! I currently own a Protrek PRG-270 and was looked at the Gen 1 GBD and wasn't impressed. I wanted a Moon Phase + Solar Charging + Triple sensor watch for a very long time (only casio) and the last one was the GPRB-1000, which did not have enough stock. I continued to wear my tried and tested, but beaten and bruised protrek. I am an avid cyclist and hiker and I was checking if casio had dropped any new watches and voila! I came across this model and your video was the first I saw. Answered all my queries comprehensively. I just have one small general query. There are white deposits on my protrek (possibly due to hard water / sweat) and they make it very hard to press the buttons. What would you suggest to clean it? Thanks
It's solar and USB. Probably you will need USB often if you use the GPS function, as the solar cell cannot generate so much electricity quickly enough.
Not sure if it's really in competition with the Rangeman though as it's more focused for fitness and sports, so I think most comparisons are to other sports/fitness watch manufacturers.
It has some nice quirks which I had no idea about it. It's just a shame it's still a bit too chunky for my liking, and depends a lot on phone connection. If Casio released more refined version of this with Tough Solar and MB6, it would be perfect.
Great review..own older model for like 2.5 years and thinking about upgrading to this one .Any competitor in same rage model I should consider maybe ?Different brand that has similar capabilities and price range ? I've subscribed ❤
At last! Thank you for the excellent review! Didn't disappoint at all, good information, clean views, great shots. Perfect. I have only 1 question though. ¿How accurate did you find the step counter? Thank you very much in advance for your response.
Not sleeping with my watch, when did this become a thing. I just need a step tracker, no other workout stuff, so this is not for me. I like the display and I am sure its perfect for others.
Problem of elevation numbers is it's taking measurements from barometric altimeter, which is very inaccurate and affected by weather. Altimeter should be calibrated by GPS position instead. Cool review!
Yeah, it's "good enough" on my Fenix but without a topo map to check it against I wouldn't rely on it unless I had to. Most days it's fairly accurate, usually within 20 feet or so of my actual elevation, but the other day it had me at 750 some feet, my house is about 915ft above sea level. Today it has me back at my usual range of 910-920ft. Part of it is probably due to having it in "smart" mode, so it might be reading barometric pressure changes as elevation changes or elevation changes as baro changes.
Polar sports software sounds very good What about compatibly with apple health or Google fit? Can I connect it to a chest band? Can I get the date by GPS?
I bought this watch today. When I go to sit or ride a bike, what do I have to turn on in order to see the route on my mobile? Do I need internet on my phone or mobile phone or both?
I can see the notifications from messages, but does it also receive notifications for phone calls and does the gps use its own? Or does it have to be connected to the phone, to utilise the gps from the phone?
Does it have ABC function? Does it have a depth gauge if I wanted to use it for a secondary dive watch? Does it have a functional GPS that I can use for driving? Answers nothing other than heart monitor and biking stuff.
Hello, thanks for a nice detailed review. Can I customize the widgets in the watch by gshock move app?? Cause, sometimes we just need a stopwatch or timer for everyday activity or a sudden short interval workout. So, easy customization will be a great help. Thanks
i am so confused. Should I buy this or the expensive metal MTG B3000 series? I know the price is different but MTG is super cool design, yet very basic. I just need heart rate to monitor my heart pumping during mountain hiking or running. Other features i dont care much. Hm.. tough decision
When you say this doesn't size up with other watches in the similar price bracket in terms of features, what other watches were you talking about in the conclusion?
Primarily the Garmin Instinct 2 and COROS Apex 2. The Garmin Instinct 2 is the closest comparison in terms of price (and style for that matter) but there's a large gap when it comes to features between this H2000 and the Instinct 2.
Does the App synch health tracking data with Apple Health? Does the App synch activity data with Apple Fitness? Does the watch support other languages than English? Does the watch support displaying the date in DD/MM order?
And this new app freezes up loading almost every time. I found if you don't have access to the internet it won't even try to load the homepage for you. It'll still connect but there will be no menu just "casio". The altimeter doesn't use g.p.s. anymore either. I am assuming they uploaded a world altitude map so it doesn't need it? Like they decided to give you a variable depending on what timezone your in. Which is confusing because it will now show in world time when it was corrected. I'm quite lost about it.
Does the watch do auto exercise detection? For example riding a bike. From step counting, the watch will automatically know that you are riding a bike then records biking data instead of step data? Thanks
Does backlight still switches on when you press any button even in the bright surroundings and same for EL also. Does they switch off when there is enough light around?
Do you know if they are going to update the Casio app for third party integration? I’d love this watch if it synced to Apple Health and or Evidation apps.
Sleep tracking is buggy, i woke up for washroom in night and it says that i slept after that while i slept 3 hours beforw that. It seems it count sleep from the time there are 0 steps.. So dont gonto washroom if you want correct sleep tracking 😂
BUT... the most important point in the GPS navigation I think that passed without comment: is there a map in device or you must use your mobile all the time close to it?
Just got the watch looks really nice, still getting used to the button layout. However the app setup is trash and annoying you need an account to access features. Even when I created an account the app would just hang in sign in. So I won't be using their horrible app...
Most of my training would be mountain bike trails including fast downhill.... forest runs etc.... was for trying this one cos I'm also a g shock fan. But by the sound of it it won't be that accurate with the heart rate thing. Would I be correct thinking this? 🤔. I do other training and probably fantastic for all that, but the biking thing has me scratching my head.
Finally! The review is here! Very good, as usual.
I'll think I'll wait for the third GBD gen to get one.
It's almost good enough technically as a second watch for my uses
Is it a yearly release?
@@abanedaher2177 gbdh1000 was 2020, 2000 was 2023

Great review...do you think that the garmin instinct could be a better buy over all?
Really great review!!! Can this watch be charge 100% via solar? Or is solar for charging a separate battery for keeping track of time only?
It's solar and USB. Probably you will need USB often if you use the GPS function, as the solar cell cannot generate so much electricity quickly enough.
What about the solar power? You seem like miss that.
Hello, could I ask your wrist size for comparison? Thanks, great video, very well made 👍🏻
IS THIS THE BLACK/RED VERSION? OR IT DOESN'T EXIST AND U HAVE THE BLACK/ORANGE?
How often does Casio update their watches? Is it likely that some of the glitches of the algorithm will get fixed in the not so far away future?
I’m surprise this watch isn’t getting the respect it deserves. This watch feature wise is way better than the rangeman

Nice review! Can you check out the DW-H5600?
Also, Casio has recently added Strava integration for both GBD-H2000 and DW-H6500.
Polar sports software sounds very good
What about compatibly with apple health or Google fit?
Can I connect it to a chest band?
Can I get the date by GPS?
Did you test the auto repeat countdown timer on this one? What is the maximum number of repeats that it is able to set?
Did they fix the issue with the step accuracy? Last model would count arm movements as steps. The step count was beyond useless
Is this watch as tough as the old school g-shocks? Fitness trackers are generally not very durable, that's why I'm asking this question.
Does the G-Shock have auto-adjust heart rate zone feature? It could be a gamechanger, i think
I bought this watch today. When I go to sit or ride a bike, what do I have to turn on in order to see the route on my mobile? Do I need internet on my phone or mobile phone or both?

I notice that the Garmin Instinct2Solar has much better battery life. Do you know why.
This is called software optimisation
Does sleep tracking start automaticly or is there a button to be pressed before sleeping ?
