Looked so sweet I got myself (Wife) the grey last weekend here in Osaka. Cost about 34000 JPY. Absolutely stunning. As you said, the screen is really what makes it, with the new features. I love a Casio and a G shock since I was a teenager, but this was something new,a dnd hopefully something they continue to perfect.

Keep in mind, mineral crystals are a little more shatter resistant than sapphire crystals. Sapphire is nearly scratch proof, but more brittle, due to the hardness of the material. Given G-Shock’s design for extreme use, the mineral crystal might have been for more shatter resistance.

Hi Jeffrey, yep I don’t buy that at all from them if thats the case. Some of the toughest watches in the world use sapphire. Citizen use it a lot and gshock do on their super expensive ones. Seiko’s most capable dive watches user sapphire and the Rolex Deep Sea Challenge uses sapphire. I have never had a sapphire shatter, they break the same as mineral.

I have the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar and I also bought one of these G Shocks. I run a lot and you are right. For the fitness aspect, there is no comparison. I actually like the way the Instinct looks and I am a G-Shock Square fanatic. My Garmin also has a flashlight on the case which is pretty rad and useful. This G-Shock is overpriced for the features it offers. You are better off getting a fitness band and a 5610 if you like G-Shock squares

Thank you for another great review Sam! I love my G-Shocks and this one is very tempting. My son gave me his old series 3 and I really like the fitness/sleep tracking but I do mostly water sports for exercise in the summer and I much prefer the look of the H5600. Quick question - are you double wristing with G-Shock? I occasionally double wrist with the Apple Watch because I see it as a fitness track and not a watch but a G-Shock is a proper watch 🤔

I understand that the GShock "looks better", but from my experience of the new Garmin Instinct 2X, I've had many compliments from people (all men and no women) telling me how cool it looks. I have 8 Casio watches that I put into rotation, and they serve their purpose of telling time, and occasional compass and barometer when I'm hiking. I really feel like this smart watch is meant for a very specific people--namely, GShock Square enthusiasts who don't mind dropping hundreds just to get the MIP display on a Square, which is a shame. I hope Casio starts listening to what their fans really want, instead of shoving half-baked products down their fans' throats.

This new watch also looks pretty weak... Casio has a lot of catching up to do vs the competition. I love the square design and screen... but if I ever need a sport watch then I'll go for Garmin for sure. And I'll get a g-shock for being a fantastic and durable watch. I'm looking for my 6th g-shock now.

Great review as I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the gshock. Looking for some basic features such as the heart rate monitor, not so much with all the other fancy stuff. I think its also great that the ghock cam stand on its own with all fuctions without the need of a phone app. Love the iconic square and durability of the gshock. Would love to see more of a comparison in durability and water resistance vs the Garmin. I suspect the gshock wins hands down, but curious! Hence is likely the reason for the hard to push buttons on the G, certainly adds to its durability and water resistance factor which I feel is underrated. There's a reason special forces wear these over Garmin or apples.

I'm curious if the bezel is removable to allow better button access while using the settings. He and I both have a GBD 200 as well. He mentioned that he found those buttons much more suited to using the menu's comfortably. I had a good chuckle when you showed his "paw print" 🤣

On this watch and the GBD H2000 (got both) you would use the app for function and info, and use the watch as a …. G shock. If you feel it’s behind the times or not smartwatch enough, you would be better off buying a smartwatch. This is a Casio G Shock focused on fitness and everyday health and sleep, with Polar sensors and an app. You don’t buy a Rolex and compare it to a Garmin, and a Casio is also it’s own thing.

Nearly every dive watch made for saturation diving uses Sapphire along with modern speedmasters used by NASA astronauts.

I don't think is a matter of G-Shock being left behind. Is a matter of them not using their proprietary technologies to achieve the same results. They are falling on the mistake of trying to compete with deposable smart watches on their own terms. For instance, Amazefit had a watch that was basically a smartish casioesque thing. Casio could easily have a watch with GPS, MIP display, maybe HRM, sapphire and solar... These are all technologies they already use on other watches. I think they just have a design team that is no longer interested on innovation, but rather capitalizing on nostalgia. I mean, the Garmin Instinct 2S is regularly on sale for $249 from the Garmin site. Love Casio, but they are falling in the same trappings of Seiko.

As a smart watch, it’s kinda terrible. As a regular watch that has some cool extra features though, it’s fantastic. Especially given the fact you can just outright disable much of the functionality if you don’t need it. If I want amazing smart functionality, I’ll wear my Apple Watch. I wear a G-Shock in situations where I’d otherwise fear for the Apple Watch’s life. Do I still just want a regular DW5600 with the MIP display, yes. Will this be a good (albeit slightly expensive) alternative in the meantime, absolutely.

@@CasualWatchReviews I don't think they have made that one. I don't want to heart monitor because I don't like it and just want everything else. The GBD 200 is too big in my opinion and the H5600 looks better.

No. I got the Garmin Fenix 5 for $300 new. A much better watch all around. If this G-Shock was $100-$150 then it might be worth it. $300 for the same price as a Fenix 5? No.

So true , i dont get it, they embaraced themselves with squad smarts, 400 euros or more , bad software and much more....now this, it s a shame ...They should just let the smart market where it belongs or take a break and work a few years seriously...this is ridicilous...so back to the drawing board casio...

I own the watch and this video sums up my decision making pretty much. I think it smart features are enough for me and as a dumb square the battery life is impressive. Could it be better yeah. But ultimately the display sold it for me. It’s is excellent. The style is classic and when the next version comes out I will get it. The fact that they are still working on features is great… they recently added apple health and Strava integration so now it has everything I need

that screen to body ratio tho....such a ridiculously small screen...😂 And what's with all the writing around the HUGE display bezel? Come on..this ain't 1990. It looks so old school and bizarre..wtf...at a glance it looks just like a watch from the 90s. This pretty much sums up Japanese culture - total stagnation. They were at the top of the tech industry. There were times even apple had to let Japanese companies design and develop their products. And look at where they are now.

@@kiloton5764bruh that’s the point. it’s the old school g shock square design, it’s literally the reason why everyone enjoys how it looks. It’s a timeless design. If people want a bigger screen they can look towards the Gbd h2000 instead.

I disagree about the Garmin looks. If you change the face on Garmin to black, it looks way better. I used to have one but got tired of charging it, even if it was once every 2 weeks.
