    Good buy. I came along this watch after my 20 yrs old W-93H. I was looking for something similar in size for my son. The band turned to be 2 cm shorter than usual but still fits perfectly on my 18 cm wrist and even 1 spare hole left. Those who call it women's or kids model have shifted focus after those enormous gigantic king-sized G-SHOCKS.
    The 2200H hides perfectly under sleeve. It also has the decrement button in opposite to GW-5600, Baby-G, W800, W96, F91, A168 and all 3-button models. No decrement button = the watch is in my personal no-go list 👎

    I know what you mean about the average g-shock band being very uncomfortable. Having said that, you should look at the dw9052. It is an incredibly comfortable g-shock band. Also, I have the GBD500 and I have to say that the band on it is very comfortable, too. I like the 200m water resistance and the shock resistance that is the hallmark of the g-shocks. It also connects by bluetooth to your phone, so you can always update the time on it very easily. Yes, it is more expensive than this watch. I'm not trying to defend that. But I don't think you should paint all g-shocks with the broad stroke of being uncomfortable to wear. There actually are comfortable g-shocks.

      @working_mans_watches  5 місяців тому +7

      Heck yeah. Right now you can get an Illuminator on Amazon for $16.88, which means they’re almost guaranteed to be even cheaper on eBay. And how would you even break it in the course of daily activities? I honestly can’t think of a single realistic scenario.

      but their strap won't last for long (2-3 years with daily wear) and if you want to replace it, you either have to order OEM one or put one on that doesn't fit. these watches have proprietary lug sizes. in contrast, g-shocks will last for several years if not for a decade.

    Is the BT findmyphone feature worth it for only 2 meters range?

    Another great Casio, I love the GDB200, its not only has a MIP display (amazing) tracks steps, but it charts them daily and monthly. Sure, its more money, but $150 is not much either. Read the reviews, it is amazing. But hey, you found a great value, no doubt. Step counter "fit bit" knock offs have the time and are even less expensive (less than $15) if you just need time and pedometer. I prefer not made in China, much prefer made in Thailand as I do not want to support communism, but thats just me. Love the US steel strap cover, I have never seen one before.

    This is an interesting take, but here's the thing: You tried four different versions of the same watch. Casio has literally hundreds of models in their G-Shock line-up. Thousands if you count all the colour and strap variants. They come on rubber, both soft and hard, silicone, leather, nylon, steel, titanium and plastic bracelets, natos both single and double pass, stretchy nylon, bund leather, rally leather and probably more I don't remember. In fact, the only type of strap I've never seen on a G-Shock is a mesh bracelet. And they come in every possible shape and size (well, not every size, there are no really small G-Shocks, unless you wanna try the Baby-G - there are some cool ones there, if you don't mind the silly name). What I'm trying to say is that regardless of what size or shape your wrist is, you will find a G-Shock that will fit it like a custom tailored glove.

    Good video, but I disagree on milimetars... For my wrist 47mm is max.. 46mm seiko fits good, 47mm hamilton (meh..ok i guess), 48mm too big goes over my wrist. And in my country is 50 euros. Prices in my country are horrible, Murph is 1000euros.. And average month salary is 800 euros. As for Gshock..Yes (very uncomfortable to wear)

      Nothing wrong with having your balls sucked. That said, the GBX100 is $130 more than this watch and pretty ungainly in its proportions. The only reason guys would pay for that is so it says “G-SHOCK”. I can always just write that on mine with a magic marker.

    I also like this watch, it looks very cool, but it's tiny and some other youtuber compared step-counting watches and this one wasn't very accurate.
    I don't really care about step counting, I'm pretty happy with my W-800h and my Skmei W-96h, but if I'm getting a new watch, it needs to have CDT and not switch between 12 and 24hr format with just oressing a button. Also a 2nd time is useless to me.
    If this one wasn't so small, it'd be very good. I like watches with big digits, and this one has cooler looking digits than most digital watches, so that's a plus.
