I bought this watch in this color on a whim a week ago (August 2019) in Tokyo. Was out shopping with wifey in second hand stores. One store had this in very good used condition (I'm a clumsy guy and smash watches up anyway so second hand is no issue to me). Anyway, just by coincidence I saw it in the watch section in the store and was hooked. Thought about it for a while, then got back to the store and bought it even though I didn't really need it. I feel great about my purchase, the looks of this watch alone made me want to have it. Extremely complicated but I use the app for settings.
@Reynold_ Markus Hi! Go to www.daikokuya78.com and look for the Shibuya store, this is the link to the store: www.daikokuya78.com/shop/site/sibuya.aspx Address is: 〒150-0042 東京都渋谷区宇田川町28-3 いちご渋谷文化村通りビル （とうきょうと しぶやく うだがわちょう しぶやぶんかむらどおり） Ichigoshibuyabunkamuradori Bld., 28-3, Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 150-0042, Japan.
Its nice, but. I still prefer the last model and overall I prefer the chunkier look of the older model. Loved getting off the plane in New York and watching it do its own thing via GPS to set the time from UTC to the current time in New York.
i know this is tool watch, both GPW2000 and MR.G are great.. i hope next they will make it < 44 mm.. and i'm still curious Swiss & German watch manufacture will joint the race to produce GPS Satellite Watch
I have this watch and love it. Major issue is with the Bluetooth functionality. Once the app is connected to the phone it is meant to update the time every six hours. Works fine until i turn Bluetooth off on the phone and then switch it back on (flight mode). The watch will then not be updated any more by the app until i unpair and re pair the watch. I have sent this in to the Casio agent who cannot sort out this issue. Very Frustrating that one of the features i like does not work
Great review but, out of curiosity, it's the second review for this model and I've noticed that the small 24 hour hand is not marking either the home or world time. Why is that?
Your suppose to be a professional, don’t you think you should know all the information and know how to use it before you do a video? I was very disappointed because of that!
Last week after watching your video I went to the Casio store near my area to check this watch but I find it too big for my wrist. Then I saw the old model of the gravity master the GWA-1100-1A (2013 model) and it is being sold to the equivalent of 390 USD its not too big for my wrist and Im kinda interested. May I ask would you recommend me buying that watch or do you think its already too old and outdated?? Awaiting for your kind advice/reply thanks in advance..
Great to get one of these new recently, not much new stock left. I liked the look of the 1000 a tad better, but the newer technology on this makes it a wash. New stock of the 1000 seems to have dried up anyways.
Why do they insist on the extension of the minute hand covering the hour hand when they align? Reduces legibility. Surely the hour hand should be on top as the minute hand is much longer so won’t get into the way as much. Poor design.
*No offense but you really weren’t ready to do this review. If you would’ve called this an unboxing it would’ve worked out more in your favor. Please take some time out and READ THE MANUAL to this model. There’s a ton of misinformation concerning the functions of this marvelous timepiece. “Casio really doesn’t want you messing with the watch…” 🤦🏾♂️. Come on partna. 👎🏾*
If you want just something that tells the time, just buy a watch at Wal-Mart for $9.99. Yes this watch has all these cool features, durability, and good looks. But, how many normal everyday people out there are "really" going to need or use all those features except for the auto time update when traveling?? Is it going to cost me $300+ because I didn't feel like changing the time myself??
Not to mention the Casio brand. Smartwatch is the future, this kind of traditional watch even how many technology put in it, it'll be extinct in a few years.
To be honest, I don´t see any point to buy smartwatch for 1000$ that will last 1-3 years at most. Then it´s time to get a new one. Quality watch, be it quartz, auto/manual, will last a decade or even 100 years. They will still be beautiful and sexy 20 years from now. Anyhow, I don´t see any point in smart watch at all. "not to pull out my phone".. I´d rather pull out my phone, than tap on a tiny screen. It´s easier for me.
Smartwatches are the future for those who wants a piece of non durable technology, it's not for those who likes watches or does real work in hard conditions!.
MrVricolaks lol, no one wear a watch for 100 years & yep they are expensive because the technologies are new. There will be a lot of new features & functions because it's use a display rather than a segment LCD or a complicated analog dial, those kind of watches are hard to use. People nowadays likes something easy to use, that is why a smartwatch invented.
The Eternal in the meantime there will be a durable smartwatch, it's technology is unlimited this traditional kind of watch combining an ancient technology and feature in it was a huge step backwards.
Smart watched is "invented" so companies can make more money out of dumb people. I haven´t met a single person that can justify functions provided by smartwatch worth their price. Not even half the price. It´s a hyped up gimmick and nothing more. 99% is "so you don´t have to take ur phone out" in scenarios that not really relevant. Like "adjusting volume of song" or "answering a call with headphones connected". Well, all my headphones got volume control and pause/play/answer button. I have muted all irrelevant notifications and then one I get - i want to see properly and answer/take actions (for that, I would need to take my phone out). I´m sure there are few people in the world that really appreciate smartwatch for their functionality. Few in the world. Most people - idiots that get caught in a hype.
80sruler why are you guys such arseholes when watch blogs review something like this? What do you wear to the gym, a fucking Patek? I still want to know about stuff like this.
By far one of if not THE greatest G shock that I own. The backlight is the best I have ever seen on a G shock! Legit as bright as a flashlight!
The best watch Casio makes. Possibly the best tool watch on the market.
What is your wrist size in inches?
Even if all sync technologies failed.. Casio will still keep +-15 sec per month which awaseome...
I just bought mine from Amazon, I gotta wait until Friday. Thanx for the review, subbed and liked this video.
Hi does the GPS sync while you're moving or you have to be stationary for the GPS to lock?
Hi How much memory does the watch hold, what I mean is how many logs can it keep before you sync with bluetooth on your phone?
Can't wait to do a tutorial on that 😛
Without looking through all of your videos again, have you done a tutorial on the GPW-2000 yet?
Review this one yet? :)
Dude! What are you waiting for??
Is there a setting for Auto Backlight, or is it manual only?
I dare you to put one more G in the title of that watch.
DJZ lol

I have the same watch shown and it looks like it was dragged behind a car for 50 miles and still works perfect and no scratches on crystal......
It appears that this was filmed several weeks ago, on July 4. Did you ever get the flight log feature working?
just take yourself some time to figure the functions out then review it pls.
Yes!
Make your own video
@@BlackdiamondWIS Even if one can't cook, one knows that there are things that taste awful, and ppl are ALLOWED to comment on that.
This is the best looking master of G.
Its nice, but. I still prefer the last model and overall I prefer the chunkier look of the older model. Loved getting off the plane in New York and watching it do its own thing via GPS to set the time from UTC to the current time in New York.
yep i like the GPW-1000 better.. better looking watch
I have both and i love them equally
Good review! What is your wrist size?
Incredible Watch! Greetings from Brazil
Using Bluetooth you don’t get “your phone time” or “internet time” The app will sync the atomic time using a casio server for this purpose.
i know this is tool watch, both GPW2000 and MR.G are great.. i hope next they will make it < 44 mm.. and i'm still curious Swiss & German watch manufacture will joint the race to produce GPS Satellite Watch
Nice video! Pls can you tell me your wrist size in inches????

I have sent this in to the Casio agent who cannot sort out this issue. Very Frustrating that one of the features i like does not work
Warren Peffer thats not a issue if you want to update with your phone you must connect your watch every time is how it works
does it have hourly signal?
i couldn't find it anywhere
Your review doesnt say if you receive text message notifications via the bluetooth feature. Does this happen? Can you please confirm? Thank you.
yoshimitsu411 this isn’t smart watch bruh
where can i get g shock watches serviced in California?
What is your wrist size and how do you measure it ? Also tell me the diameter of the dial.
Could you reply to this comment please ?
Great watch and vid !!!
Great review but, out of curiosity, it's the second review for this model and I've noticed that the small 24 hour hand is not marking either the home or world time. Why is that?
The second timezone appears to be reading 9:41 no? Time of watch in video is 2:41, seems to be working.
Anyone find any aftermarket bands or bracelets for this ? I love the watch , hate the strap , too tight or too loose.
So where does the gravity come in?
Andrew Burke the moment you jump out of the plane.
Great watch!!!
what would be more relevent is having a sunset and sunrise display where ever you be
Your suppose to be a professional, don’t you think you should know all the information and know how to use it before you do a video? I was very disappointed because of that!
gps on ? how about battery
Last week after watching your video I went to the Casio store near my area to check this watch but I find it too big for my wrist.

Danilo 1310 Casio watches are never outdated. They are built to last.
Great to get one of these new recently, not much new stock left. I liked the look of the 1000 a tad better, but the newer technology on this makes it a wash. New stock of the 1000 seems to have dried up anyways.
I have wrist of 15cm ?? Will this watch be big ??
Its big. I have 7 inch wrists
17+cm wrist is required
There should be a version of this with just Bluetooth sync, minus the GPS and atomic time , at a price of around $300.
That probably be the GR-B100... 🤟
Advic77 this one looks better though
I love mine except the buckle where it connects to the strap broke and the replacement band is $150. Pretty steep but the watch is nice otherwise.
cool watch ariel a
Thank you

Please more videos....
just saw it in the window for me it doesnt have the presence of the mudmasterand its daddy gps. it looks so plain

wow
It's 18.2mm thick! That's 50% more than a normal watch. *#HockeyPuck*
Higher end watch with less features than the mudmaster gwg2000s
"Probably for some setting..." By the way
only the rich need day of the week on a watch the rest of us are counting down to the next pay day
Cool, but I really don't need one of these lol
All you need is a $15 quartz knock-off. But if you want something cool...
If you want just something that tells the time, just buy a watch at Wal-Mart for $9.99. Yes this watch has all these cool features, durability, and good looks.

Black Shark if you dont have money is ok go and buy a $10 watch....I love my gravitymaster and my Rangeman
Ritchie Locks
that's a lot of Gs in there... like literally.
Rolex batman or speed master man on the moon? As a first swiss piece?
yelp70 batman of course
Ray Donovan JR thank you for your kind response, i have yet to try it :)
both of those nicknames are cringe worthy.
J Thompson regardless of the names they're still fantastic pieces
Agreed love both, own a Moonwatch myself.
Mercedes Stravenue
Why the hell do you have a watch when you are going to do everything with that app?
You can do everything on the Watch having the App just makes it easy to set things up.
Problem is more expensive than better looking Citizen GPS watch.
Which Citizen? I can't find a Citizen Satellite for less than $1,100. This can be found from authorized dealers for $640.
Do your home work first please
The Hour hand is so small on these you G-shocks, bad design
No disrespect to casio but this particular piece is an absolute shitter. ABTW is constantly reviewing shitters lately
lol? i guess you dont own one and says its absolute shitter. LOL. typical toxic user
Shitters... maybe for those who cannot afford...Lol!!! All they can do is to hate the thing...pitty.
Do you own one?
All these Archie luxury wannabies 😅

I love my Casio that doesn't look like a try hard. This one is a real shitter!
What's a try hard?
Reviewing a Casio ? Come on now
Since the overly positive review of the Gucci dive 45 (that review was obviously bought by Gucci), nothing surprises me anymore.
80sruler why are you guys such arseholes when watch blogs review something like this? What do you wear to the gym, a fucking Patek? I still want to know about stuff like this.
80sruler ほ
Another foolish AC3 and Clyve follower. Need to understand the tech.
I know someone who wears a Rolex Datejust to work out at the gym..
