I own this too. Highly engineered and design piece. The best thing about it it’s bullet proof and very few know it’s so expensive. It’s the most classic G Shock design. The ultimate one to own. It’s a master stroke by G Shock. It fits in with the quiet luxury trend. Very stealth. It’s the type of luxury that if you know it, you know it. Opposite to the loud in-your-face luxury brands screaming “I AM RICH!!”
WOW that watch is a beauty! I would be kind to reach USD 2000 for this piece but 4000 is simply unreal. In any case it is truly the ultimate square G-Shock, simply stunning.
Phew! I knew it going to be beautiful when I saw it in motion vs the stock photos, but it looks even better than expected. I agree. I’ll admire it instead of giving $4,000 for it, but I sure want to.
Looks very nice. That said over $2000 is crazy! Casio has been jacking up there prices for a while and won’t stop if people keep paying what they are asking! Sapphire crystals are available on dive watches under $200 Casio really overcharges for them on all there watches. The funny thing is most people will think you are wearing a $100 watch!
For a moment, i thought i was watching BBC Planet Earth 😂😍 You have an amazing voice. As for the watch, i have my eye on it, and i am planning on getting it in the future.
Great video pal and early access too! However I've just got hold of one of the GMW B5000TVA-1JR "Mech-Shock" Titanium Virtual Armor watches only yesterday and tbh hand on heart I really don't see this particular MRG topping mine for style and design. Yes I know this MRG is in another league compared to my TVA. But pound for pound I know which one I would rather pick and it's definitely mine 100% going with style over substance! (Anyway in all fairness I wouldn't pull the trigger even if I had the money for this MRG which I don't by the way!) So I'm going to accept and settle for second best here for the crown of "The Best Squared G Shock" and even though the MRG probably makes mine look like a toy I'll just take it on the chin all day long. Keep up the good work and take care pal.
I was just about to reply post the same, however nice the MR-G looks I much prefer the look and design of my TVA. I'd even go so far as to say I prefer my TVA over my MRG-G2000R. Thanks for the video.
Very nice indeed. $4K, nope! I've owned several MRG's and they are exceptional but would NEVER pay retail or "New" prices for them. They don't hold value and I would not consider them to be worth what Casio wants for them. Funny how it's really only the case design and materials that would make this square so much more valuable than a high-end model for less than half. I love Casio but this is just out of bounds.
Actually that's changed, if U look at the limited edition Gshocks and over some casios (not all of course) past 3-4 they've gone up with value for the discontinued
It’s an MR-G. They’re always limited. Most seem to hold their value and some models even go up depending on qty produced. I suspect these first gens will be the rarest and most desirable.
10 місяців тому
This model will hold its value no matter what but this model in particular is for collectors mostly so I believe they will not think of selling it in the short run.
I would totally buy this using some crypto gains and would wear it daily, if it weren't for the fact I've already got the G-Shock GMW-B5000TVA-1 Virtual Warrior Titanium AND although its expensive, it was 1/3 of the price of the MRG version.
This watch is a kick in the teeth for the people that paid highly for those Porter limited edition squares!!!! ie the G SHOCK GMW-B5000TFC-1 35TH ANNIVERSARY GMW-B5000 Casio I know which one is rather have paid grands for 😂
No deeper than the other metal squares? That's good. I remember seeing on the prototype leak it was going to be 17mm thick or something, doesn't look like it is.
@@fluffy_kitten Apples Oranges. A Steel Daytona has an MSRP of $13k. Rolex doesn't set aftermarket prices, the grey market does that. I totally get that a gold Rolex costs 2-3 times more than a steel Rolex but I don't get why a G-Shock with an "improved" titanium alloy costs 2-3 times more than a G-Shock in a standard Titanium case.
Was that a scratch near the left button at 00:01:27 or is light just reflecting a bit wierd? Definitely looks like a scratch. Aren't these supposed to have asuper scratch resistant coating (near diamond carbon)?
Anyone can speak tit he durability of the DLC? Just want to know if the DLC will hold up against wear and tear. It would be a great shame to drop $4K on a watch and after a few years see scratches if the DLC to uncover the titanium natural colour. Thanks for the video, great looking GSHOCK.
I am quite disappointed, couldn’t you show the functionality, because that is what I am curious about. This has a different module as the GMW-B5000 range, and I would like to know what exactly is different about these. A simple demonstration of the menu steps would have been nice.
My understanding is the module has a slightly different internal specification. The functionality and appearance seems unchanged. Watch at 0:40s to see the menu.
Thank you for the video! Since you have the watch, would you be so kind and tell me is there an option to change date format from MM/DD to DD/MM? Thank you very much.
The watch is fantastic looking, no questions, and great quality. The bracelet is beautiful, BUT the clasp is so clunky. On a $4k MRG, I would expect a more sophisticated-looking clasp, or a smaller, less noticeable one.
Any opinion on the MRGB5000B with the DLC versus the MRGB5000D with the Titanium Carbide coating? Can't decide if I like the black or titanium color more and if the black is worth the extra cost and if it will be that much more durable.
Wonderful thing about gshock and square especially it that no matter how many watches you have, how expensive your collection is you still appreciate gshocks. I have Omega, Breitling, Tudor but still love my gw 5600. Great watch! Take care #freeUkraine
You are paying a lot of money for the case and bracelet. The watch itself is the same with the exception of some gold circuitry which probably does not make a difference in functionality. Is it worth $4000? You can buy a very nice Omega Speedmaster for less. What do you think?
Sorry for my English It is expensive because it is not normal g shock it's MRG MRG like a Maybach version in mercedes I think this watch can connect to normal g shock app not MRG app this the only thing that I will complain about. I my opinion Casio should make new movements for this watch to make it more especial than normal b5000
Great review, beatiful watch shame because all MRG are about in general are cases and bracelets, there's no new innovation inside its a false economy... The biggest watch mistake i made was buying MRG-G2000CB-1ADR.. £3,300 I would have rather possessed the watch you're showing for novelty.... PS:am i right in saying this MRG-B5000B has no GPS?
@@lamadoo I'm surprised because that no longer makes the watch as independent and functionality becomes less rugged, having to depend upon a mobile just like the rangeman no good in the wild without a mobile?!... How come they rely upon masts for accuracy but yet not GPS.. The masts longetivity is questionable compared to GPS? And the mobiles rely upon GPS anyways so surely in line with MRG it should be GP'S, I think it's marketing strategy for future models by holding back on this new watch
@@temujinadonijah6365 The story about masts shutting down is BS. Multiband is a great technology, and combined with Bluetooth, you will always get a pinpoint accurate watch.
I like _smartwatches_ but, any watch like that with _Bluetooth,_ to be used with the mobile device? That's a bit ridiculous I mean, mostly of the brands on the industry have _SmartWatch_ to complete their ecosystem, like _Apple_ or _Samsung_ or even Chinese brands and, from weeks ago even _Google_ with their *_Pixel_* sub brand have their new subject on scene. So? Why _Casio_ not have a better devices on market (smartwatches I mean) to compete with _Garmin_ or with _Suunto_ and conserving the 2 ATM of endurance try to make the harder and more complete _SmartWatch_ on the market? Even creating a sub brand to not use the _Edifice,_ the _Pro-Trek_ or the _G-Shock_ ones to be a very different product that we've ever seen before... So with a *normal* watch like that, I prefer to buy the _GWG-2000-1A_ and have one of the most complete watches on the market, with sapphire glass, compass and radio frecuence controlled...
This is nice. But I don't think anyone plans to drop this? So why all the 25+ parts of "Engineering" 🤔 Also a Full Mechanical Chronograph Watch can have over 100 pieces in itself and when put together those parts move in synchronization with no battery needed. Now that's a work of art. I guess Casio is trying to achieve a work of art by reinventing it's case made of Titanium? That's Nice but against those parts don't keep the watch in sync. Not sure I would see this as a work of engineering like I would a full Mechanical Chronograph Watch. Thanks for Sharing. Great Video for sure.
For that money, youll get a BIG collection of a wide ranges of g-shocks, from titanium to mid to cheap, a whole bunch of them. For me the Mr-G square doesnt cut it, the golden details annoys me, also the red line around the LCD just doesnt fit with the titanium. The case made of so many small parts make it look even worse. And the polished top of the bezel is the cream on top of my irritation. Also the module is the same as in the GMW-B5000 series, and offers NOTHING different or new. So nah... booring.
Right now after seeing this video, The AliExpress Titanium Matt grey bezel and Bracelet is starting to look really, really good. 🤷🏻♂️ Even their $1,650 Titanium Models are out of reach for those with money because it's a module and not a real time piece. 8nwpiodnt mind paying $800 Maybe 1k 8f there is something special about it? Or even 2k for the Mr G which I think stands for "Mr G- Mr Give me your money" 😂 You can by name Brand Titanium Bracelets and Bezels with Sapphire Crystal and Swiss Movements at those prices. I just wonder is Casio is fishing. Also the fact that they never put limited amounts on their limited watches is a big shady. I have two of their Titanium watches, but I usually buy them if I pay half the Retail Price for them. I guess it's not for everyone 🤷🏻♂️
@@e28forever30 Maybe, But it takes some serious engineering to make all those parts work together. and this was done before computers were even out. Try taking one apart and putting it together.

I love my Casio Titaniums, but I can't never see them as a Complex Mechanical Movement. Some are overrated, but some are true work of art.
I mean, sure, it looks stunning, but the price defeats its purpose. G-shocks are classic tool watches and every price beyond few hundred $ is just utterly stupid. Anyway, I wouldn't spend that much on any watch, even if I'd have billions to burn.

Incredible watch. Mine is arriving in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for your comment. I’m with you on this. I’d have the TVA version over just about any current G-Shock!

How is your Virtual Armour titanium holding up as far as scratches are concerned?
@@Karmazov zero scratches. its dlc coated.

Please do make a comparison video between this one and MRG G2000, if you still have both in possession
One of the best watches of all time
I wonder if the B5000TVA mecha square will be worth more i the longterm because it was a very limited run
It's already out of production?
Timeless beauty
This is a Limited Edition by price 😂
... but I still bought one 😮😊
No deeper than the other metal squares? That's good. I remember seeing on the prototype leak it was going to be 17mm thick or something, doesn't look like it is.
Hi, there is a separate app for this watch - Casio Watches ... Very comfortable, great and beautiful watch! Unique! Fan G-Shock ;-)

The gold color MRG and shock resist logo are “gold color” or actual gold?
is it really more scratch resistant then other titanium DLC gshocks ?
I wish I could afford this
What is your wrist size? I've heard the first link from the lugs don't bend like on the resin squares. Would the lugs overhang on a small wrist?
My wrist is 6.5-inches. The Square G-Shock is quite modestly sized I think (comparatively!).
