    It’s so frustrating that casio g-shock can’t just use one app for their watches. Why must I have two different apps running in the background to perform the same function? Silly

    I've got myself the yellow CasiOak too, and I am very happy with it. It looks fun, like a plastic kid's toy, but with shock resistance, 200 m WR, bluetooth and tough solar it surely is not. And I've got it for under 100 EUR from my local supplier. A fantastic summer watch. Great choice, Jody!

    Jody, you can have more than one G with the same module connected to the app. At least that is the case in the EU. I have three GW-B5600s connected in the app, named by the colours and everything works as it should. Lovely new square, always loved the purple and green combination on a G.

    I wear a standard CasiOak all week Jody for work. I bought the same yellow one back over Xmas/New Year. A great splash of colour over summer. Initially I couldn’t get the suitable app for it, as it hadn’t launched, which surprised me. But as soon as it was available, the connect was as easy as you showed. One can never have too many G Shocks!🤤😍👍🏼

      I just bought my 86 year old mum her first G-Shock. It's a Baby G in rose gold with Solar and Blutooth, the MSG-B100DG-9AER. She wanted something that didn't need battery changes, and didn't need the time changing ever. So, I installed the app on her iPhone, and we both marvelled at the hands moving when it synched. One is also never too old to have a G-Shock!

    Hmmm, if you're in search of a touch of colour and you like yellow but you don't feel like a 20yo streamer, keep an eye on the Casio ga-2000-1a9er. I was doubtful on it, but when I've put that on the wrist I've found it fits PERFECTLY, both serious and not too serious. The coloured hollow hands over the dark display looks simply like an eye catcher. The two little lcd's are not so legible (same as the CasioOaks, btw), and you don't have the Bluetooth, BUT... but take a look at it, and how good it sits on the wrist! Plus, you don't have cold metal on the skin, and the strap... the strap is so beautiful! Keep it in mind for a future unboxing, and I say it as a not-so-big-lover of ana-digi watches.

They are IMO, the best all around everyday grab and go pieces. My base standard for when I want a beater and not worry, my all metal G always goes with me on holiday and my GMW-B5000TVA-1 Titanium when I want to show off my G-shock nerdiness (is that a word?)

      💯 I feel ya on all that. I'm trying to go in reverse on collecting, and have realised that m IF I could only have two, they'd be the Sinn 104 I St Sa, an outstanding mechanical automatic hybrid price, and the GW5000U-1JF, a similarly outstanding solar/atomic self-sufficient all-everything digital number. Those two could be worn anywhere, for years, and be right at home. Anything more is just extra. Anything less would be uncivilized!

    There is always room for just one more G-Shock watches. My 1st G-shock wasn't a square, neither was my second....etc. Then came the squares, my beloved 5610 that I bonded with during surgeries in hospital, the 5000 full metals(s) then a few 5600s. Some positive LCD and others negative. The positive ones are a lot more legible but the negatives look cool. Then came another, a GDB-200! Yes that uses another different Casio app. The display is the best of the lot by far and has some fitness stuff in it (that I don't use) but this one needs a battery full of sparks to work but misses out on a couple of functions as well. Anyway I digress. Choosing a single G-Shock? for me it would be the 5610, it's accurate, does not need yet another app and being solar it should outlast me. Did I mention they are all very robust?

Ignore the web based pics of these, the normal home screen looks nothing like those shown. Super legible LCD screen, large numbers for those of us who are getting on in years, bluetooth (you even get alerts for emails if you have are carrying your phone) it does the step thing and many more.

    07:20 in this video OMG ..I want this G-Shock so bad.
    Going to price it here in the UK ... I might treat myself when I get paid... Because you can't have enough G-Shock watches.
    Thank you for this video.

    I have 8 to 9 Gshocks, about 3 with Bluetooth and solar and others use batteries. I like the Bluetooth better not having to set the time every time daylight savings time starts and ends. I have a couple casioks, they do wear much smaller than you would think and I forget they are on my wrist. I love them. Very tough, and very lightweight. I paid MSRP but not over MSRP.

    I've been debating on getting the yellow casioak or a white gwx-5600. Thanks to this video I might get both.

    Two great choices Jody.! The yellow one is a great summer watch. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
