Update: My watch from Japan has arrived. Upon opening the box, I was nearly moved to tears. The watch is so petite that the numbers on the digital display elude my aging eyes, and on my 20cm wrist, it resembles a toy watch. Consequently, I sold it immediately. A compact size (on a 18mm strap!) does not necessarily mean it's better for everyone.

@@mistadopeman The thing is if they max out the specs on this mid-tier model, it would cannibalise their higher-end models. That's a no-no in product development and sales.

Another great video, thank you for the detailed and informative look at this G-Steel watch! I'm a big fan of the G-Steel series, owning the GST-B200 and GST-B300. None of the newer ones have appealed to me, as I like the bigger, chunkier looking older ones (and the new ones seem to offer less features in the LCD display). I've been thinking of a GA-B2100 Casioak, because I love the solar and bluetooth features, but now I'm thinking that I need to give this latest G-Steel watch another look. It just might be the right combination of the G-Steel and Casioak features that appeal to me. I just realized the absence of a second hand, which might be a deal killer for me, as I use the second hand all the time. Bummer.

Casio missed the point with the recent Casiotron as an expensive limited edition and the "pseudo-small-Duro", but this is an outstanding hit in the bull's-eye on the G-Shock niche. I'm so used to see big Gs that i'm impressed this looks so compact, like an average Orient or Citizen diver. It's also very restrained aesthetically but still a G-Shock - a remarkable thing. The price is right i think.

G-STEEL is probably the most underrated G-SHOCK series, and it seems like they've solved the biggest problem with the series: size. They've been sizing down the G-STEELs each year and it's pretty impressive they managed to make a G-STEEL slimmer than even the Casioak. Does feel slightly weird to have the jumping minutes without a seconds hand or indicator though.

It is such a great piece indeed. For me there is one more important aspect - the trend of increasing case sizes is finally starting to break. For me, a watch should be an accessory, not a replacement for your personality. Don't get me wrong but I think some people, men especially, have lost their sense of good taste in this matter. And now you can wear a steel G-Shock as an accessory rather than as a compass on your wrist. Thank you for showing us this piece.

G-Steel's are in my opinion the most underrated lineup of G-Shocks. It's in a weird middle ground, but those who have owned one know that they're phenomenal pieces for the money. My first G-Steel was the GST-S110D which I loved and still to this day is my most worn G, but I just recently picked up a GST-B400. After hearing that they cheaped out on the bracelet on GST-B500. It was sad to hear that they did that since I loved the look of the B500. Hopefully this new B600 is a hit!

I did look at this but after a couple of months of Tuna & Samurai wear it actually looked "too small" I know, crazy right? I ended up with the GST- B500 which is very similar in overall design but around 48mm but again tapers up thru the layered construction, you also get the red accents while retaining the very comfortable bracelet. It has the same features including Bluetooth pairing for accuracy. The negative display is legible in daylight and with the B500's own illumination, in low light conditions it's harder to read. The watch feels light after a 200+ gram Samurai on a chunky Hexad bracelet, coming in at 150 ish grams less the 4 removed links. I really like the spring bar links, super easy to remove and I found it very easy to reassemble without tools. For a traditional watch guy, I think either of these is a good choice, depending on your size preference. The B500 wears like a 44/45mm Seiko, the relatively short lug to lug length helping out here. The finishing is much better than I expected, fine brushing in a variety of orientations, with sharp transitions to highly polished facets. I think G-Shock's decision to market smaller pieces that will appeal to the traditional watch guy is inspired if a little overdue.

I just received mine after ordering from Japan yesterday. I am also impressed by this watch and love that Casio decided to make a G-Steel that is more traditionally watch sized. I also like the dial with the red accents but I do think the bracelet model is the way to go. Too bad you can't have that dial on a bracelet. I actually have a GST-B400 which previous to this release was the "smallest" G-Steel with red accents and a resin strap (which I've actually put on leather). Which made that decision easier.
