Casio G SHOCK GWG1000 The Best Review

[@Watch-Crazy]

Excellent video dude! Completely agree, though still available for sale, these are already becoming a sought after classic.

[@BushCampingTools]

Many thanks man! and thanks for watching! I'm def sure they will become much sort after.

@@BushCampingTools Apparently they are releasing a GWG B1000 next month which is a bit of a head scratcher, still doesn't look as mean as the original!

They are a good watch. It gets in the way a bit during my work, mechanic, due to the thickness but has lasted years without any major damage. Have a little issue with it now, that a local watch maker hasn't been able to resolve, with condensation on the inside of the glass when I'm working out espcially on hot days. He has tested it twice already and he said it has passed his test and he has stripped it down both times, left it to dry and put it back together in his warm assembly equipment. Still has issues with condensation.

That is interesting you say this about the condensation as i think this is a issue with them. In fact in the manual it talks about condensation as if it is a normal thing and not to be worried about it if one sees some form under the crystal, especially if it goes away fairly quickly after forming. For me this is not acceptable as this is just another way of saying Casio are casing them in a humid environment and or can not control the environment at tie of sealing the nodule. OR it just isn't possible to do this. No where do they rave on about the waterproofness only mud resistance. I guess by definition one can not have mud without some appreciably amount of water either so there is some water proofing to a degree. it's good to know you've worn yours in such an environment as the mechanic encounters, it says a lot for being a durable time piece. I winder if they can strip your model down and leave it in a desiccating jar over silica gel and pump a vacuum on it (I guess he probably did this??) then leave the watch for a week. They could case then in dry Nitrogen atmosphere like what is done for many rifle scopes and similar to stop internal fogging. Anyway thanks for watching !

I really wanted to like the watch. I bought the British Army version for about 450$ I sent it back after a week. The wristband is ridiculously stiff and uncomfortable. Other points to note, I found it very hard to read at night with the light as I'm long sighted, The killer was the digital display at the bottom. There was no way I could read that without putting glasses on. Casio were good enough to accept my return so I can't complain. I wear a Garmin Instinct 2 solar and even with my crap vision, I can just about read the time. The bonus is it syncs to my phone so I get notifications of every time someone spams me. I't mil spec and good for 50 m. I'm never going to go deep sea diving.
