Actually I start doubting how good is carbon core guard? I'm going to buy gst-b200, but there is nobody making video about drop/impact test for these carbon core g shock.
About the carbon.Carbon is lightweight makeing it usefull in many aplications where weight is crutual like in aeronautic,nautic,aerospace,car ...and plenty of other industries and aplications like in Formula1.They(developers of F1 carbon body) did a great presentatio on their carbon body construction also saying that during impact the carbon will almost be destroyed in pieces but thats why carbon is great,takeing the force of impact and spreading it all over its fibers.Thats why carbon is mostly made stiff.Yes,this is a watch and probably the carbon bezel will take some impact force and spread it through its fibers so maybe will do the resin substitute also but from my opinion the carbon one looks way cooler😉.
The carbon fiber bezel is primarily for looks anyway. It's not really protecting much where being brittle when twisted is going to make any difference at all. It is still going to do just fine at protecting the crystal, and that is the main reason it is even there. The use of carbon fiber in this watch makes it much more lightweight and able to withstand more pressure and force, but anything when twisted is going to break unless it is meant to flex. Bezels generally aren't meant to.
It's not a wear item...the only way to expose it to that stress is to disassemble it. Thats like complaining about the flexibility of tooth enamel. Sure it could crack...if you took it off the tooth. But why would you? Also Watch Geek - Thank you for your awesome contribution to our hobby over the years. Everyone is thinking it...just figured i should say it.
In general carbon fiber is very strong in just one designated direction. Think when the bezel is solidly in place it can take quite a blow but when you take it off en start bending it can snap really easy because power is applied in the "wrong" direction.
Thank you so much for making this video. I left my watch at the watchmaker for a battery change and afterwards, I realized that the clock was not waterproof anymore, with it fogging up while being submerged in water. The watchmaker had not put the o-ring back correctly. I disassembled the watch with your video as a guide and let the watch dry. Extremely helpful video.
Yet another fantastic teardown…and precisely the reason I chose a solar-powered G (Rangeman GW-9400), happily bypassing the need for battery changes of just about any frequency. 😁
Wow, I can't believe you actually took it completely apart! I just bought this watch and I am waiting for it to be delivered. I will definitely save your video so I can refer back to it when I need to replace the battery. Thanks!
@@leonpatrick5606 nope no problem with the battery at all. I just changed the battery on my GW-500A and it was a piece of cake. I am sure I can change the battery in the GG-B100 when I need to.
7:32 Carbon fibers are strong, but they are not strong in every direction (like steel or aluminum). You've applied force on carbon fibers in a way they are not meant to be stressed. This piece sits snugly on the watch and it would probably absorb any blow coming from the top or the side. But bend it just a little bit and it cracks. That is why your bezel failed. Same would apply on a carbon bicycle - it can take a lot of abusing, but just step on a tube and it will shatter.
I’m thinking of getting one of these and this video has only encouraged me - it’s good to see that it seems very well built. Changing the battery might be a bit more of a hassle than I’d like, but even then it seems like only a 5 minute job. Really well-made video 👍
Such a great video!! I have this exact watch and this was fascinating to see how it is all put together. Thanks for doing this video! You explained everything so well.
Very informative thank you for sharing: Just one thing that I would like to share with you; when I remove watch hands, I put a sheet of clingfilm over the hands and dial face before using any tools, as this prevents or at least reduces the chance of any unwanted soiling or depressions being left behind on the cosmetic finish - it also stops the hands from flying off in the process. Thanks again.
Great video as usual, love the commentary in how well you explain things about the G Shock watches. Your channel and jerryrigeverything channel are my favorites due to the quality of the video you guys produce.
The dealer also makes a leakage test on the watch after the battery replacement (to test water resistance). Usually, that is what cannont be done at home.
6:20 I don't feel good about that if that red piece is the only thing preventing water from getting in. 16:04 I'd love to see you remove those two screws and see if there are any other water resistant parts (eg. o ring) in there
I have this watch and I love it. I just wish they had offered it with the tough solar feature. Also, this isn't magnetic resistant. If a magnet is held close to the crystal, you can stop the second hand. In the compass mode, where the second hand always points North, a magnet will affect it, too.
To change the battery do you need to remove bevel and strap? Would appreciate a reply as I’m seriously considering buying it, but don’t want to it I have to go to Casio to change the battery every time.
Hi guys.I own a GD-X6900MC-1ER since 4 Days now.Mi first G Shock.Love that Thing.Somebody know why the Auto Light is turning off automatically after a while?!is that a kind of Energy saving/sleep Mode?
Hello there. I have a G-Shock GG-1000 Mudmaster and all buttons suddenly stop functioning after I replaced a new battery. It is working initially for awhile when I adjust my time settings and all other little things... Any thought what might had happened?
great video! I was going to get this watch but decided to wait just to see if Casio will release a solar version soon. I really do like the watch since it just got smaller compare to other mudmasters.
Great video. How much does it approximately cost to send to Casio and have the battery replaced? Also do you have a link to the specific watch tools you are using? Thanks.
For Casio Japan, Battery swap around 1000yen 200m pressure test around 3000yen MUST DO all of that plus labour fees/tax. Thats why I prefer to do it myself. I just re-edit links for all the tools I use in the description box. Have a look. :)
Thank you for all of your efforts and attention to details. All of these little details that Casio puts into these, yet they do not add lume to the index; in my concern, that is the only reason I don't pull the trigger on one of these. CNC cutting lume high quality vinyl/tape (Glow-On has excellent lume tape) using a Cricket seems like a simple at home DIY, but sizing the index markers (or sourcing the size on the internet) is the hard part; is measuring the markers w/a micrometer something you are willing to do during one of your disassemblies? Is the index ring even [easily] removable from the crystal? What are your thoughts on adding such lume?
If Casio used a high intensity lume like Seiko, their watches would be so much better. I can't understand why they use such weak lume, and hardly on any hour markers.
gshock highfashion Thanks, I subscribed now. I want to but m first Mudmaster but how can I be sure I’m not getting a fake? This watch varies from $380 to under $300 at different sites. Should I avoid buying the Japanese version?
@@gshockhighfashion I was wondering the same thing as its very unclear in the video, you actually say to remove everything including the bezel to get to the battery, think I would sell the watch if that was the case but thankfully it isnt, love this watch.
Luv your review brother but you need to change your topic heading by deleting "I broke it"..... This is so misleading and implies that GGB100 is an interior product whereas it's one of the best models ever to be released! It's like the call on the Rangeman 9400 where someone claimed the lugs were breaking due to poor design! Unfortunately many took this on face value! As you started, the bezel was not designed to be twisted and in fact this applies to all bezels!! On the strap replacement issue, Jaysandkays have now designed and produced some new fantastic adaptors that will allow you to fit any 24mm strap to your muddy... Check em out on eBay... I couldn't do without then...
@@gshockhighfashion Can you tell me which series have/has the easiest to replace battery? I'm thinking of getting someone a G-Shock as gift, but I want it to be cheap and easy for them to replace the battery themselves without needing to send it in.
Great video man, I have the earlier one which doesn’t have red colouring anywhere i think i prefer that.. still a superb watch though even if i cannot get the location working...
Thanks for this. Very helpful. Thinking twice of keeping this piece after seeing the fragility of the carbon bezel. GWG 1000 MM is solid. Net gen needs Bluetooth......
Nice vid. Subscribed. Been watchmaker for years (repair only) mostly mechanical, chronographs sometimes, some quartz. Curious how you handled the hands, did you point all hands at 12 during install because non independent, or did it not matter? Some quartz chrongraphs where strange in syncing up to me. I agree with you on the rubber finger cots, losing finger sensation causes me to fumble sometimes. Besides I'm older, my fingertips are dry as bones. I have trouble even at checkout lines from touch screens sometimes dont register. It's a little embarrassing. I work hunched over a box, that helps me to minimize parts loss. I sometimes use movement holders, sometimes not. Some guys, better than me, take whole thing apart using movement holder. To me thats more difficult. I have to hold at different angles and distances of view, so I take chances with dropping over struggling with always holding in movement holder.. You might like plastic twezers. I notice some of the more critical parts like the led display could get easily damaged by sharp metal tweezers, but I dont know, you know your comfortable way, just suggestion. One thing sometimes works for me is on the analog portion of movement you can soak in Zippo lighter fluid. What happens sometimes is factory lubrication dries up or congealed. The Zippo (naptha) liquidates the old oil allowing gears to turn. This is an old mech watch trick. As to the broken bezel with the carbon fiber layer I would have used a fine oil dropper to weep small drops of super glue into the cracks while you had the bezel off. Enjoyed this vid and subscribed. Arjay.
I'm shocked when I saw the battery "made in Indonesia" which is my country :) I'm preparing for a "china" tag at first... LOL. Anyway, thank you for the video so now I'm prepared to swap my battery
Why why why would you want to put a sapphire on this watch? For one thing there would be ZERO difference in appearance. Unless you get an AR coated crystal, minieral glass and sapphire look almost the same and you won't be able to tell the difference. But the main reason you don't want sapphire is because this is an incredibly tough watch that is meant to be knocked around. Sapphire is extremely hard, and like all super hard materials, it is very brittle. It will shatter on impact instead of chipping or scratching. It is NOT the material to put on a watch like this. I wouldn't even put it on a dive watch I intended to be snorkeling around coral with. It is the worst material to have on a watch that is at risk of any impact to the crystal. Great video though! I absolutely appreciate your style and the quality of your video. Really well done!!
I can almost pull apart most things, BUT putting them back in order and for it to work perfectly, is usually a different ball game to me. Nice though to learn something new like this from you, especially am a several mudmaster owner. Looks very complicated to me...
this one ua-cam.com/video/q-HxnqHkt60/v-deo.htmlsi=AuxWIwoEB5R__3Z7 anyway, the video quality is horrible with todays standard. Plus, you need to buy plenty of expensive accessories to work best.
Good day , everything is ok with my watch but when in sunrise/sunset it always give me .....:....🔅 just nothing ...do you have any idea to fix it.....my home town is cairo,Egypt
Hello, if I can make one question regarding this watch. I am currently not in a situation to take it to the repair service being in the middle of nowhere, but I am having some trouble. Except for the display which is showing only time/date/steps and still have functions such as stopwatch and timer, anything else is not working. Compass, barometer, altimeter, light and dials. Also it won't connect to mobile. Everything worked and just out of nowhere this problem occurs, in the evening it worked, in the morning, while staying at the table, it stopped working. If I try to set altimeter, or barometer, it shows current value, but regularly it is not putting numbers on display. Tried to calibrate compass, unable, I have displayed appropriate sign, but it stays indefinetely on display and nothing happens. Can that be due to the weak battery, but the low battery sign is not displayed. I would ask Casio online support, but there is no such thing, at least I didn't find it.
The way you describe it really sounds like the movement is faulty. The only thing you could do as of right now is just try to reset the watch. Remove the battery and put it back in. Then perform the AC reset using a tweezer. If that still didn't work, straight to factory it is of just send it straight to factory repair if you have the warranty still.
Love the macro shots... The watch is really awesome with great caseback design (Best among mudmasters), useful triple sensors plus step counter, cool mud resist concept. Which is why it's such a shame that it is not solar-powered. The sensors, the led lights, these are all power consuming!!
@@gshockhighfashion Yes, you have some very valid points there. But opening the case up every year or so also means that you have to properly re-do water-proofing, regreasing o-rings, etc. I live in a small city and good watchmakers are not readily available. I just don't trust the shopping mall "watchmaker" can do a great job in re-waterproofing the watch every time! :-(
First of all I highly appreciate your disassembling videos. Big thanks for that!! I would like to swap the hands between two models. I wonder how to align the hands when I put them back to the motor pin. Are there any positioning notches (I can't see any) or do I have to set the hands after re-assembling individually by the watches functions. Thanks in advance for a short hint bro!!
There are no notch or indication at all. I just manually align it with the 12 index. You'll beed good eye sight though. I'd seen some G-Shock promotional video where they showcase how a G-Shock was assembled, the staff just align the hands manually as well, except under a magnifying lens.
Thats only because force was applied sideways. Carbon fibre is made to be strong in one direction so when its on the watch and screwed down it will be very hard to break
Hi Thanks for the great video, one thing I really would love to see is the step counter test video, I have the same model as shown in the video for some reason it's very inaccurate when it comes to the Step counter, I normally remove the watch when I go to sleep and leave on my dresser table, when I wake up I check the step counter to be surprised by 150 steps recorded already while the watch was just sitting stationary for the whole night. Is this a defect or just the step counter is just crappy, Casio should have traded the step counter with solar power instead.
If the Casio just cover the carbon bezel with flexible resin instead of stiff ones like they did on the Carbon strap...
Actually I start doubting how good is carbon core guard? I'm going to buy gst-b200, but there is nobody making video about drop/impact test for these carbon core g shock.

The red thing feels like anodized alum to me
Carbon fiber is stiff an brittle
It’s not a tough material
Great video as usual!
The real screws on the bezel surprised me positively, but the bezel being hard and easy to break disappointed me 🤪
Typical of carbon fiber though. It is rigid, but it will crack. It's mostly epoxy, after all.
It's not a wear item...the only way to expose it to that stress is to disassemble it. Thats like complaining about the flexibility of tooth enamel. Sure it could crack...if you took it off the tooth. But why would you?

I can almost pull apart most things, BUT putting them back in order and for it to work perfectly, is usually a different ball game to me.
Nice though to learn something new like this from you, especially am a several mudmaster owner. Looks very complicated to me...
Does that watch have the vibrating motor for the alarm?
Hi
What material are the hour and minutes hands made from on the GWG 1000 models please. I know the second hand is made from carbon fibre.
Thanks
Hello. Is there any need to be concerned about buying one new that was manufactured in 2018? or is this common with gshocks?
Is that a camera in your left hand around 11:05? If so what is it? 🤠
this one

anyway, the video quality is horrible with todays standard. Plus, you need to buy plenty of expensive accessories to work best.
@@gshockhighfashion Thank you and thank you for your advice, it is much appreciated.
Thank you for this
Good day , everything is ok with my watch but when in sunrise/sunset it always give me .....:....🔅 just nothing ...do you have any idea to fix it.....my home town is cairo,Egypt
Спасибо за детальный обзор!!! 👍
Hello, if I can make one question regarding this watch. I am currently not in a situation to take it to the repair service being in the middle of nowhere, but I am having some trouble. Except for the display which is showing only time/date/steps and still have functions such as stopwatch and timer, anything else is not working. Compass, barometer, altimeter, light and dials. Also it won't connect to mobile. Everything worked and just out of nowhere this problem occurs, in the evening it worked, in the morning, while staying at the table, it stopped working. If I try to set altimeter, or barometer, it shows current value, but regularly it is not putting numbers on display. Tried to calibrate compass, unable, I have displayed appropriate sign, but it stays indefinetely on display and nothing happens. Can that be due to the weak battery, but the low battery sign is not displayed. I would ask Casio online support, but there is no such thing, at least I didn't find it.
The way you describe it really sounds like the movement is faulty. The only thing you could do as of right now is just try to reset the watch.
Remove the battery and put it back in. Then perform the AC reset using a tweezer.
If that still didn't work, straight to factory it is of just send it straight to factory repair if you have the warranty still.
@@gshockhighfashion Thank you very much for your answer. I will try to do as you said. All the best!
Can you modify it to solar?
Love the macro shots...
The watch is really awesome with great caseback design (Best among mudmasters), useful triple sensors plus step counter, cool mud resist concept. Which is why it's such a shame that it is not solar-powered. The sensors, the led lights, these are all power consuming!!
It could lasts about a year or so which still better than ant bluetooth equipped watch on the market. Besides, the battery is super cheap.
@@gshockhighfashion Yes, you have some very valid points there. But opening the case up every year or so also means that you have to properly re-do water-proofing, regreasing o-rings, etc. I live in a small city and good watchmakers are not readily available. I just don't trust the shopping mall "watchmaker" can do a great job in re-waterproofing the watch every time! :-(
@@fengxueshanshenmiao agree with you completely...
Carbon bezel is really just for show, it will probably hold fine to scuffs and drops.
Piezoelectric_speaker (spring). thats something new to learn. about. thanks.
Build quality and toughness of this mudmaster VS more expensive GWG-1000 mudmaster ?
All your videos are very good. I have only one question. Can I put the band of gg b100 to gwr b1000? Thank you!!!
I like that little screwdriver you have. What brand is it? I tried to check your Amazon link but it wasn’t working
I got a new rechargeable one recently, the brand didn't matter, they all came from China anyway. But it is similar as this:amzn.to/3E0Vg6H
First of all I highly appreciate your disassembling videos. Big thanks for that!! I would like to swap the hands between two models. I wonder how to align the hands when I put them back to the motor pin. Are there any positioning notches (I can't see any) or do I have to set the hands after re-assembling individually by the watches functions. Thanks in advance for a short hint bro!!
There are no notch or indication at all. I just manually align it with the 12 index. You'll beed good eye sight though.
I'd seen some G-Shock promotional video where they showcase how a G-Shock was assembled, the staff just align the hands manually as well, except under a magnifying lens.
@@gshockhighfashion Thx bro!! Greetings from Switzerland
does digital and analog only use 1 cr2025 battery?
I like your amazing videos
Where do you get the silicone straps from? Thanks
i still prefer Mudman(9300Japan Version) and Rangeman :) even if i would like one nice looking analog, but this one has to much flaws for me
My one showed the wrong time after I accidentally put it near a magnet what do I do?
7:09 For the price !!!😲😲😲 It's litterally a shame that the fiber bezel is easily breakable !? And I just orderded it this morning ! 💔
Thats only because force was applied sideways. Carbon fibre is made to be strong in one direction so when its on the watch and screwed down it will be very hard to break
I will definitely get the battery replaced from the casio store only as at home there are chances of dust particles or water vapours
Hi Thanks for the great video, one thing I really would love to see is the step counter test video, I have the same model as shown in the video for some reason it's very inaccurate when it comes to the Step counter, I normally remove the watch when I go to sleep and leave on my dresser table, when I wake up I check the step counter to be surprised by 150 steps recorded already while the watch was just sitting stationary for the whole night. Is this a defect or just the step counter is just crappy, Casio should have traded the step counter with solar power instead.
Or someone or something wore your watch?
Buen trabajo !!!
