    My wife is currently in Japan at this exact moment. She had video called me here in the US this morning. She had this on a counter compared to one of the analogue looking frogmans. I wanted a frogman most of my life, but when I saw these two compared I went with the MTG and I got to tell you this is gorgeous. Gorgeous! I can't wait till she gets back not just to see her. But also I'm so excited about this watch.

      @Jason Barton - Thanks for sharing this great story!
      (I won't tell your wife that, secretly, you're more looking forward to seeing the watch first ... and then letting her know how much you love her 😉👍🏼) - Kidding of course! ... or am I? 😂
      I know you'll love it even more when you have the watch "live" on your wrist. It's still my "one watch" as of today (I had it on yesterday actually - Aug 29th) - Thanks for watching and for your comment.

    I so agree!
    I have 20+ watches, some of them far more expensive Swiss made ones - but this watch is easily most exciting, intriguing and most beautiful one I've seen. Just pure magic. Actually, I'm in the process of selling my other watches, because I simply don't wear them anymore. This is the one, I've been looking for all these years (mine is with silver bracelet and with black bezel).

    I agree that this is probably the best one and done watch. However, I don't like how the hands move feature doesn't work in stopwatch and timer mode. I keep waiting for a blacked out version with black rubber strap. They promised lots of different colors which hasn't materialized.

      Kidding aside, it's the small differences that makes it so attractive. G-Shock know where they are going with this line of MT-G watches and I like where it's going ... it's my wallet that doesn't like it! 😉

      @timetowatch_francois  2 роки тому +1

      @finster444k - I agree; a bracelet would look awesome but would increase the price of this already expensive piece.

    What is the actual bezel size=visible dial size, please?

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  25 днів тому

      Hi@@lajostresser482, The visible dial size is 51 mm i.e. I’m including the crown and measuring on the horizontal axis going through the middle of the dial. If you look at the vertical axis, the portions that are still part of the watch is 55 mm (I’m including the sections that stick out to attach the strap at noon and at 6 o’clock). In addition, if you want more detail, the blue portion of the “inner” bezel where it’s indicated “G-Shock” at the top and “Shock Resist” at the bottom, it’s 43.5 mm.
      I hope this helps. If I’m not clear in my description above, simply let me know.

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  2 роки тому

      @dave guardiano - Good question. It's not very impressive in a "no light at all" type of situation. That's the reason why I showed it in a dim-ish light.
      The hands themselves are brighter but the hour markers are not very bright unfortunately. Let's just say that I've seen much better lum on Seiko and Citizen watches 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Know how to change the battery? I have a replacement but cant find it anywhere online.....thanks!

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  Рік тому

      If you have the tools, unscrew the case back and see how you can take out the old one and add in the new … but personally, I’d have an authorized G-Shock dealer do it.
      Furthermore, I’m curious; this watch only came out a few years ago and you already need to change the rechargeable battery? If I were you, I’d check with G-Shock directly b/c it may still be under warranty. Hope you find what you want.

    Does this have a battery indicator on the watch itself?

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  2 роки тому +1

      @bikecrazy001 - Unfortunately, it doesn't. You have to connect it with the G-Shock app to view the battery level.
      However, there is a LBI (Low Battery Indicator) where the second hand jumps every two seconds to indicate the battery is low.
      Side note: I store my solar watches in a watch box with a clear lid so the light enters all the time.
      Even if I don't wear the watch every day, it has never gone below "M" (medium). And, on top of that, once a month, regardless of the current charge of my solar watches, I pick a cloudy but bright day and expose my watches to natural light.
      Just a habit I have. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

    does it have world time?

    • @timetowatch_francois
      @timetowatch_francois  Рік тому +1

      Yes it does, via the second time sub-dial that can be set to any time zone independently of the main/home time.
      Both times can even be swapped by pressing the light button (B) until you hear a signal (3 seconds) at which point the initial Home Time is now at the Sub-dial. The goal is that when you get to the other location, you swap the two times and get the « main » time at the new location on the main hands. When you get back home, you swap them back. Hope this makes sense.

      Two things; 1 - The bezel has an IP coating on it (laser blue) that helps with the scratchproofness and;
      2 - It has a slight circular brushing that helps with "hiding" any scratches that MAY end up on the bezel.
      Note that I wear this one a lot and, for now, I can't see any scratches on the bezel. On top of that, I don't "baby" my watches. I take care of them, but I don't baby them. This one's made to be worn.
