I have always hated inversed LCDs but this one totally redeemed itself.. its so sharp n crisp and the larger fonts certainly helped. To be honest, for its tiny B&W display and it's sole running-only fitness tracking, $400 seems a bit steep. I then realised that the big "2nd bezel" is actually a solar panel. One thing which mitigates its shortcomings is its great battery life and the fact that for a casual fitness buff like me it's functions & features are perfectly adequate.
Really pleased to see you review this great addition to the great G-Shock range. Fantastic insight as always. Trying to get my hands on one also so I can put a review on my channel. Cheers as always.
i replaced a galaxy gearsport with this one, one thing i dont miss is having to daily charge the watch! Besides that, I dont miss any of the things i had on my gearsport because it has preety much all of the functions, besides its a tough beast!
Loved this when I first had it at launch but was pretty annoyed at the number of issues I came across. Primary issue was the sensitivity of the step counter. I walked a measured 1000 steps with this watch, a Garmin vivoactive3 and a Samsunsung galaxy watch. Garmin reported just under at 980 steps, the galaxy watch showed around 1500.. the G showed over 20,000!! Other problems include the heart rate sensor not reading at random intervals despite being set to 24/7. Then there was the notifications with text so small it was painful to read and a ridiculous number of button presses needed to read them... As Casio had released no new firmware in the first month I returned it and bought a fénix 5x , it may not be solar but it lasts nearly 2 weeks between charges and it has a sapphire crystal display. Last I heard from Casio was that they were aware of those issues and were looking into it...
@@jimherold7827 simple answer, no. The app has gotten more stable but nothing has gotten better about the problems (notifications, etc). Basically Gshock advertising was at fault saying this was a smart watch and handled WORKOUTS. The only activity it tracks is running. That's it. Notifications are awful and not useful.
subscribed your channel today as I saw your videos for the first time today. love your enthusiasm about gshock. love the most about your detailed examination inside the watch.
They gotta do something about these notification thing. It's nice that it's there, but it takes so much damn time and button presses to get there. I hope that they remove these function entirely unless they come up with easier navigation, and focus on the battery life instead.
@@rb2112 After using the GBD-H1000 and the Rangeman GPR-B1000 I have to say that the scroll wheel is much faster than simply pressing one button after the other. It feels better too
@@rb2112 Yes, I like bigger G-SHOCKs but even I must admit that the Rangeman GPR-B1000 is too big for its own good.The thing is that Casio easily could have made it smaller, because the GBD-H1000 uses the exact same construction but is much lighter and fits better on the wrist. The GPR-1000 feels better on the wrist as the materials and design is much better.
Can you make a video on how to replace the bezel , the strap and where to order them ? I'm having a hard time finding replacement strap just to swap out different color.
I’m own both. Yupp agreed. Garmin instinct solar is much better with multifunction sport and more fitness monitor. But for build quality including screen and solar, gshock still win.
I've had a Casio Pathfinder Solar around this same size and its going strong for over 8 years. I think you will probably get a long lifetime. I also have some Suuntos and I have definitely had them for at least 5 years.
What is the glass made from? Is it sapphire ? Pretty key info for a watch which will die instantly if hit dead on the glass and crack letting slaty water with mud from the place that i work at....
Mineral Glass. Good quality ones too. There's a difference. Anyway, if you work in those muddy environment, you should consider getting the GPR-B1000 instead.
Tempname123, Garmin is your best bet. You might get the instinct for cheaper than this gshock model but keep in mind Garmin watches are expensive in general but they are loaded to the gills with features.. If you can afford it, go for it! You won't regret it.
New subscribers from Australia. Really like your reviews. I have the same colour gbdh1000. I wanted to change the colour on the bezel or wording colour. Any chance you can show the tear down of bezel. Thanks
Where can I find replacement strap for this guy. I have the GBDH10001A7 the white and yellow strap. Really want to have an option to swap out different color strap but can't seem to find it any where that will sell the strap for this guy.
Thanks for the EXCELLENT! video about GBD-H1000 could you please do a GPS test compared with either rangeman or Garmin watch if you have one also how is the step counter compared to fitbit or any step tracking device. Thanks
Too bad I didn't have any other models like this to compare with. If you're wondering about the GPS accuracy, this is much faster and accurate than the Rangeman. Except there's no navigation feature. So, can't really compare them both.
Looking back from previous bluetooth models, that is highly possible. To get most uses for long period of time, just get simple ones like gravitymaster or gsteel series.
very nice review, but i have a question regarding battery life, if for ex. i use steps counter 24/7 non-stop, can the solar charging handle that? like would i not need to charge anymore if i were to use only steps counter everyday.. thanks..
The steps counter always work, I don't think there're and 'off' switch at all. I haven't got the chance to try it 24/7 yet but it should work just fine as long as you keep it solar charged while using it outside.
@@gshockhighfashion Ah i see so step counter is always on, imagine not having to charge your device for a very long time is very nice, unlike my previous devices like the vivosmart HR, gearfit 2 and pro 2 they are all history now, but having a Shock resistant and never charge again feature is very awesome.. thanks for the response..
😮So they did! They made several, the last being the 2013 Casio G’zOne. Needs an update for 2023 with the latest chipset and solar charging - no more shattered screens or battery worries! Thanks @gshockhighfashion :)
that is a cool watch, but too much complications and not my cup of tea. i'm old school, gw9400 & gwb5600 are just what i need, for the time being. thank you for this video and have a nice day sir. cheers. :)
@@MrCarpen7er hahaha, yeah it's not that old school by year, i'm just an old school guy... but the complication on that watch not that much compare to this watch. the only new thing i need for my watch just bluetooth for time sync, here in malaysia we don't have time sync tower. that is just my 2 cents.
Try out GBX-100 instead. Much smaller. This one have to be big to accommodate big battery & GPS receiver. No way around it for Casio tech limitations at least.
I have a small 6.5cm wrist and it fits just fine not gigantic. My first smartwatch and it's great, my only gripe is its lack of a color LCD screen when most smartwatches have color screens
Hi sir I have questions ! I bought 3 watches GW9400 , G9300 , GX56BB so my question few weeks ago I noticed that 9400 running fast with one second. And others slow back with one second every four days , can you tell me pls what’s the problem ? And can be fix because I still have my warranty I can send them back I’m sorry I’m very disappointed because they are my first watch’s
So what is the difference then in Japanese vs Eu model? GPS satelites? Is that mitsubishi one not more focused and positioned for Japan? Doe sit work anywhere else in the world?
Power from sunlight and USB cable charge the same battery; thus, you can go with either one. It’s just the charging time that differs. If you don't use GPS and HR solar power will keep your watch charged and happy.
1 entire year in saving mode, 16 continous hrm+gps use, and its solar powered, all you need to do is let it rest 10 mins in the sunlight every morning tops for a full battery, the usb cable is literally optional from how good it retains its charge.
Is it true the watch won't notify you if your receive a message? Also, can you read messages in this watch? I do cardio TaeBo exercise, will the watch be able to give me information on calories burned during my TaeBo exercise?
It will notify you on every single notification you receive on your phone. Message or call and you can read them too. Scroll to last mode for that. Tedious process, but useable. For calorie burn, it'll register every repetitive motion as steps and convert/calculate it to calorie burns. Check the video made by DesFit for performance comparison between other brand. Accurate enough.
Can I track this watch with my phone or can I just track the phone with the watch? G-Shock writes, it has Phone Finder, but can I also find the watch with the app and the gps if I lose it or is that not possible? Thanks allready :D
Does new notifications of whatsapp and sms pop ups on the screen with the entire sms or we have to go into notifications section to read the full sms? Please let me know
You can create a running plan but you can't customise all the details yet. So far the app will set its own recommendation accordingly to achieve a specific goal/target.
Got my hands on this smart watch 2 weeks ago and I have some observation on it. It seems the solar fxn don't fxn well though I already put the notifications and the lights off but still the batt use is good only for 7-8 days. Could u give me some advises about this matter? Tnx in advance.
The solar panel on this is just for assistance to the cable charging not as a main source of power. I also notice that it is not as sensitive to light source, unlike every Master Of G models I've used before. Like I said in the video, don't fully rely on it. I'll treat it as for emergency uses only while outdoor hiking/trekking, etc.
I have mine since release in USA. Only charged twice once when I got the watch and another to top off. I have used 6 days/week using GPS for an hour each day walking. I have been impressed with duration of battery. I do not use HR constant only while walking/running outside with GPS. Also do not use notifications for email, calls, etc. That is what my phone is for. Impressed with the watch needing minimal corded charge. When indoors I place under a lamp which is on anyway.
This one is for outdoor uses. I just wore it all the time, like I always would though. I work on my own, so no rules here. For normal home or job environment, get the glide ones. Swap the band if necessary.
If it could withstand 200m pressure, it is already tougher than most wrist watch on the market. It is mostly resin meaning it is much lighter than it looks. But you can feels the high quality resin and metal was used here. Well, same like every G-Shock.
Yeah I don't like the slow compass interface and few little things here and there. This GBD-H1000 is new, I might not like it as well as time goes by if it fails to meet my expectations in the future. We'll see.
hehehe saya punya dr tokyo awal lg dah sampai kt KLIA hub, yg lama kena perap kat KLIA hub tu sebulan lebih jgk la. tp skrg dh seminggu selamat pakai kat tgn dah. excited giler nak tunggu.
I know it takes time to learn many of those features, but it sounds like alot of complicated functions. I am wondering if you think that it is worth getting &/or for a basic watch / collection for those features, functions, time & effort to learn, along with the price? And if you don't run or anything like that? Similarly, I had bought one of those other G-Squad watches with the neg display and reddish bezel couple years ago... I didn't think I would use the features and couldn't read display, so sent it back.
Hey, probably a weird question; When you mention the watch's lifespan with the battery is 1-year is it possible to replace the battery to continue the watch's life?
@@TinnCup congrats ! I’m grabbing one tomorrow as well. Was looking at the Garmins but not sure about the reliability and maybe to much of a smart watch type
@@richardjames6623 I can definitely recommend the GBD-H1000 after my first day of use, it is larger then a GX56 but once you get use to it’s size it’s very enjoyable. It’s my first ever smartwatch myself.
@@TinnCup Awesome , so glad you like it. Your giving me the incentive to get one. I’ve been researching watches for the last 2 weeks. I use to wear a watch all the time and had a small assortment. But once they all died over the years I got lazy and figured that’s what my iPhone is for. Looking forward to ordering one tomorrow. You get the all black one ?
Hello friend, I'm a fan of your channel..needless to say, I've been wearing only G-shock since my childhood. I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon based in India and I've been waiting to own a heart rate and vO2 monitor for long. Now that's it's available on G shock.. it's best of both worlds. However as an investment, the price is a big deal for me .. before I do, I want your opinion if I can go ahead and get this or are we expecting something even better from G shock to arrive anytime soon (with all the above features and more)..? Looking forward to your reply.

Be sure to read alot of reviews, I've been seeing some negative
@andy isnt it a clock?
Sú to skvelé hodinky. Tak tu nemelte opak. Výdrž batérie, je dokonalá. 👍
I'm customizing mine painting light grey the letters on the bezel. Much better looking.
How good are the notifications when you get a call
I wish Casio included the GPS tracking that the Rangeman has in this model
This is a cool watch going to ask the boss/wife 🤞
Rangeman GPR 1000-1 still King 🤴 💪🏻👊🏻
Yes, it's still a King but it can't compare with this watch. Different purposes.

Where u at? No more vidz
has the watch took any usefull updates? does casio suport it?
All turned on if I’m sun 2-3 hours will I have to charge???
How about a tear down of the G-SHOCK GDB-H1000 🙂
I wish you try to open it and let us know how easy to replace the battery in 2-3 years from now..

Does anyone know the name of the other white watch in the background?
so its 2022 and see this now discounted. Does that mean a new one is coming? Did anyone manage to install the WearOs sleep monitor?
They did release a better version, software wise at least, GSW-H1000.
So what is the difference then in Japanese vs Eu model? GPS satelites? Is that mitsubishi one not more focused and positioned for Japan? Doe sit work anywhere else in the world?
The watch itself is just same JDM or non-JDM model. Uses the same GPS satellites depending which one is closest at any given time/location.
as a clock and notifications can it be used only with sunlight? or for notifications does it have to be charged by usb?
Power from sunlight and USB cable charge the same battery; thus, you can go with either one. It’s just the charging time that differs. If you don't use GPS and HR solar power will keep your watch charged and happy.
Great video....is it okay for a 6.5 inches wrist???.....thanks 😀
If you ok with it than yes.
A very promising one 👌
I just got this watch can find my phone with it ?
Need to pair first and leave the app open in the background.
Ohhhh...
*IT'S TOO BOO KOO!*
Go with the 2nd generation Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical...
*I prefer the Moss color.*
Is the Solar panel good enough to keep the watch alive as long as you stay away from the power hungry features?

This GBD-H1000 is new, I might not like it as well as time goes by if it fails to meet my expectations in the future. We'll see.
My GBD-H1000-4JR still haven't arrive yet from Tokyo... arghhh.
Patience. It'll be there soon enough and you're gonna like it!
hehehe saya punya dr tokyo awal lg dah sampai kt KLIA hub, yg lama kena perap kat KLIA hub tu sebulan lebih jgk la. tp skrg dh seminggu selamat pakai kat tgn dah. excited giler nak tunggu.
@@BMcredit jangan kena perap dekat KLIA Hub plak sudah.
@@MohsinChan22 tk tau la pasal kitorang mmg kena perap pasal transit nk ke sabah. tak tau la klu area semenanjung kan. sabar yeeee LOL
I know it takes time to learn many of those features, but it sounds like alot of complicated functions. I am wondering if you think that it is worth getting &/or for a basic watch / collection for those features, functions, time & effort to learn, along with the price? And if you don't run or anything like that?
Similarly, I had bought one of those other G-Squad watches with the neg display and reddish bezel couple years ago... I didn't think I would use the features and couldn't read display, so sent it back.
Hey, probably a weird question;
When you mention the watch's lifespan with the battery is 1-year is it possible to replace the battery to continue the watch's life?
He means a solar charge for up to one year . Some have had the same battery for 5 to 10 years since it solar charge
@@richardjames6623 Dang that’s awesome, I went out & bought the watch this morning too!
@@TinnCup congrats ! I’m grabbing one tomorrow as well. Was looking at the Garmins but not sure about the reliability and maybe to much of a smart watch type
@@richardjames6623 I can definitely recommend the GBD-H1000 after my first day of use, it is larger then a GX56 but once you get use to it’s size it’s very enjoyable. It’s my first ever smartwatch myself.
@@TinnCup Awesome , so glad you like it. Your giving me the incentive to get one. I’ve been researching watches for the last 2 weeks. I use to wear a watch all the time and had a small assortment. But once they all died over the years I got lazy and figured that’s what my iPhone is for. Looking forward to ordering one tomorrow. You get the all black one ?
Will the watch work with an app like Strava?
The only hate with this watch is need to recharge by wire
You could use the solar panel though. Technically wireless charging.
can u review DW6900PL9 please 🙏🙏
which are the other gshock watches in this video?
Hello friend,
I'm a fan of your channel..needless to say, I've been wearing only G-shock since my childhood. I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon based in India and I've been waiting to own a heart rate and vO2 monitor for long. Now that's it's available on G shock.. it's best of both worlds. However as an investment, the price is a big deal for me .. before I do, I want your opinion if I can go ahead and get this or are we expecting something even better from G shock to arrive anytime soon (with all the above features and more)..?
Looking forward to your reply.
Surgeons must have really poor wages in your country if you think this has a big price.
@@MrCarpen7er hahahaa
your says BARO at the bottom but on mine it shows always arrow down even if barometer is going up.
I turned on the Baro information ON actually.
