I was surprised of the comfort. I dont have a big wrist and the strap is pretty rigid, but its absolutely comfortable. A bit tricky to take it off for me, but love it.
I bought this watch last week at a very good price but I’ll be returning it. Something was lacking. It does the basics well, it’s super lightweight and comfortable. It looks decent but I wasn’t blown away by it. I have a dw5600, an MTG S1000v and a Mudmaster GWG1000. I was really wanting to add this watch to my collection as I was looking for an analogue G that’s lightweight and not too chunky. This watch has all of that but I didn’t like it enough to add to my collection.
Love your videos, Rob, and this one pushed me over the edge on this watch. Been wanting one for a while now - that monocoque apparently has my name written all over it - and finally went along and ordered one yesterday for 5000 NOK, that’s like 470 USD. Keep up the good work! 👍
One of my fav G. It wears so well. Premium materials. Downside is the app is cumbersome to use. Setting the gmt function directly from the crown is so much easier. i wish it has a compass, then it maybe the perfect globetrotter's watch, if you travel a lot in urban area, if you go to jungle or other harsh terrain there are other gshock for you
the titanium blue of the 1a1 is absolutely gorgeous in person. Take off the carbon fiber bezel (2mm triwing screw), the crystal mount and water seal is titanium with fine circular brushing. Its a shame that the carbon bezel covers it up.
I love this watch and I want one. I prefer the black version. I've seen the blue one in several stores. I love the look and overall design although the price is high. Also it's tall at 16.9 mm.
when I bought the grb300 I really shoulda tried to find one of these going for about the same price because its got the dst functions on the face with the adjust order year then month then day instead of whats going on with the rotary dial on the newer model where it spins up before it'll set the date on saturday. Not sure what to think of which ones the better deal if you could for today get them at the same price range. This thing needs a home time 24 hour hand dial and the date at 3 oclock is a little too straight forward.
I got this and had to return it. The band was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever worn. The metal keeper also slides all over the place. Love the thing to bits but it is possible to have too much carbon
Checked prices, found an ad selling it for $680, good reputation and recommened. So for few bucks cheaper, one on ebay with a good score and again cheaper by $35 but end up getting hit with sales tax. So decided to go with a Brick and Morter, have their backing and a Casio warranty. One does pay for peace of mind. Did look at some more expensive models, of feature that I wouldn't use, and their added weight.
I had this watch, the all-black version, for a couple months. Ended up selling it because it was too uncomfortable to wear. Something about Casio's carbon fiber bands just doesn't agree with me. I put the money towards a new MT-G B1000 and couldn't be happier.
This interests me, while I don't have bad vision, I do have problems reading the digital display. I like this and similar G Shock versions. I also like, unlike other chronometers, I miss the sweeping second hand do to the chron functions, This models allow for both. Nice to have BT functions. Only chrono I have that allows the seconds dial to be used for both chrono and seconds hand sweep. While nice a bit steep. Just got a Longines Big Eye, Different class watch but I love the Big Eye,
I've just bought one of these in the summer sales here in the UK ( 05/07/2020 ) £750 down to £375 half price this is my first G-SHOCK i think it was a good deal ? seeing how this is my first G i'll see how i get on with it if its ok their might be room for another one or two ... ??
@@jaychettle3799 not sure how to put them up on here for you ? looks good on the wrist i have a 8" inch wrist so it doesn't look to big on my wrist . I've had a few nice comments today wearing it three of my work mates have ordered them today online once they seen it saying it was a good buy .
I got this watch one month ago, great looking watch and it wears great. My only question is, why is the battery indicator stuck in the fifty percent position, how long does it take to fully charge this watch.
Rob, you did not mention the Flight Log feature that can be used with the G-Shock Connected phone app, or anything about using the app with this watch.
Hi just bought almost the same watch mine one gwr-b1000x-1a limited edition. I am curious about the red paint in the second needle of the watch. Is it not really smooth the texture? It has kind a rough texture when you light it. Do your watch also like that? But I think for this gravity master means the paint color is the white one in the second needle of the watch
This looks great! I got onto your video via an ad for the Honda Aircraft version that retails for £899, but I can get this for £350, which seems a bargain. Good video. Do I get a used Damasko or one of these, decisions, decisions?
looking at this watch on jomashop $495 but i see on the back of yours it shows a stamped I.d. number and model number but on the one im looking at does not , whats your opnion on this love your videos Ralph
I checked out the red version, not my style. I just ordered the one in your video. I am an automatic watch guy, I used to own a plain Jane Casio G-Shock many many years ago, don't remember exactly what happened to it. The red one goes for $2K, more then double from the one in your video.
@@stephenwolf8806 I love G shocks, but I insist on Solar and non Bluetooth if possible. Not really liking the G Shock square craze going on. Round for me.
I own many high end G’s and this one is by far bum most favourite. Extremely lightweight and extremely comfortable. All carbon makes it bomb proof.
A nice piece. Its accuracy is great. An expensive Casio, but very cool.
I was surprised of the comfort. I dont have a big wrist and the strap is pretty rigid, but its absolutely comfortable. A bit tricky to take it off for me, but love it.
Liking the symmetry that is often lacking in gshocks. Thanks for the size comparisons too!
I'm just right now quite found of your understanding of symmetry buddy :)

My all time fav G-Shock!
5.43 accidentally said mrg instead of mtg, but Im so glad you compared the both because these are the two contenders to which one I may get!

On sale for $510 on the Casio outlet. Just a friendly PSA👍🏻
Thanks Josh! Purchased

Ernest Jones? Was it brand new, tagged etc?
Jay Chettle no it was h.Samuels on price match they had it for £750 down to £600 but they do price match so got it for the same as Ernest jones
@@adrianswatchunboxingsrevie1140 awesome .
How's it look on wrist? Any pictures mate

Whoa! Intense watch.
Why didn’t they grey out those curved subdial half circles?
Excellent review and you sold me on this watch, thanks!!!
I got this watch one month ago, great looking watch and it wears great. My only question is, why is the battery indicator stuck in the fifty percent position, how long does it take to fully charge this watch.
It takes a while. I left mine outside hanging on a tree facing the sun for three days (brought it in at night obviously). Filled it right up.
that light! there are gshocks and then there are others.........
Beautiful watch, love it 😀!!!
Rob, you did not mention the Flight Log feature that can be used with the G-Shock Connected phone app, or anything about using the app with this watch.
Sorry now. I realize each connect watch will have different options. I sadly just font have time to cover them all.
I would love one of these but don't like the plastic band.... is there a metal band you can get for them?
I like the new gulfmasters way more than these. Form is too similar to a an entry level g, functions are too minimal.
Is this watch discontinued???
I cant find it anywhere
I wanna buy this watch soooooooo bad
I bought new one like on your video … my first G-SHOCK how can turn it on? 😂
love g shock

I love the watch. Have you checked the prices on an OEM replacement band & bezel? Crazy expensive.
Ello reloj, buen video
Super cool watch and video, tyvm
This looks great! I got onto your video via an ad for the Honda Aircraft version that retails for £899, but I can get this for £350, which seems a bargain. Good video. Do I get a used Damasko or one of these, decisions, decisions?
Did you buy it? If so, let us know how you find it.
Get this! Damasko is nice but can't compete if you need a watch to walk the walk
510$ in the g shock outlet store right now 👍🏻
I picked one up. Can’t wait
looking at this watch on jomashop $495 but i see on the back of yours it shows a stamped I.d. number and model number but on the one im looking at does not , whats your opnion on this love your videos Ralph
It's a fake.
Glad I watched the video, It's a huge watch, so for that reason, I'm out, I won't be buying one.
I checked out the red version, not my style. I just ordered the one in your video. I am an automatic watch guy, I used to own a plain Jane Casio G-Shock many many years ago, don't remember exactly what happened to it.
The red one goes for $2K, more then double from the one in your video.
How change battery
Trying to decide between this Gravitymaster or the new Mtg's.
very different watches.the main are the grams,and the materials.
I like the watch only the strap seems uncomfortable of hard plastic
It's Great Piece.
Is there a handshift function?
It’s nice but hardly any features 😔
please tell me what is the use of the front button of the position 30.thanks
Fil Tax press it and a little led will light up the dial.
Should have moved minute hand out of the way then we could have seen sub dial.?😆
Adrian Morris I was thinking the same !
I just got mine and I don't think there is a handshift function
No GPS sync? :-/
If it isn't solar... I'm not too interested. Great video.
Michael Hargis this watch is solar.
@@stephenwolf8806 thanks S. Wolf
Michael Hargis You’re welcome. I have this watch, it’s really nice. Like Rob said, it’s very light weight.
@@stephenwolf8806 I love G shocks, but I insist on Solar and non Bluetooth if possible. Not really liking the G Shock square craze going on. Round for me.
@@michaelhargis7036 What's wrong with the bluetooth? Be kind as to educate me?
is there an imitation version?
MTG is more premium
600 in your dreams
accurecy without sync.
Useless tryhard watch for me. Hideous aswel.
