DON'T Buy Another G-SHOCK Till You Watch This!!!

10 Things I WISH I Knew Before I Bought A G-Shock. I bought a G Shock 5 years ago and sold it soon after! I was mad! But I didn't understand the brand even though I was a huge Casio fan!
BUT! After learning about the history and story behind the brand AAAAAAND learning about the few quirks with these watches, I had a new found love!

Don’t buy a G-Shock…you’ll end up with dozens of the things!

[@ami5975]

True. I bought one with all the features and sensors last month. Until today I am browsing for another model although I know my Rangeman is more than enough for my needs. 😂

[@marmite8959]

I'm forcing myself to only have one watch. I had a CA-53W which was my daily until I broke it taking it apart 😅 now I have a Seiko 5, I'm not getting another watch until this one craps out on me. When that happens my next watch depends on my financial situation. If I'm successful (for the first time ever) that'll be a Marathon GSAR 36mm, dream watch. If I'm still broke it'll either be whatever G-Shock I can afford or an F-91W. That being said my Seiko survived my last job and several moshpits so I'm fairly confident it'll be around for a while.

And that’s a holy truth. Dang. I bought my first one a couple of years ago. And now I’ve got … too many. Yet The ones I bought after the first one were all Used. Some as new, others beat up badly, but came back to the original spark after a change of bezel And strap. And that’s the beauty of the Gs!

Hi TMWC, I've recently begun my Journey down the G Shock path and really enjoying it. Love your enthusiasm in your videos.

[@JamesFallonUK]

Outside of the CWC G10 I was issued in the Army, I wore a G-Shock GA-100 on multiple operations and exercises. Because I loved it so much, I bought a G10 (plus some other CWC watches) when I left the army, but I still have my G-Shock and it still runs like a champ. 💪🏻

Amazing James! Another one of my favourite brands!

[@cerealkiller4248]

I had a white camo one off my wife for Xmas, it’s beautiful BUT, I couldn’t change the time when the clocks went forward in spring ( UK ). So, I’m an hour out which is a pain. I had another one in the early 90’s from a girlfriend, it was army green with a digi compass, air pressure sensors etc, that was a great watch that I can’t remember what happened to it, it may be in a box somewhere.

G shocks are great I use a 5600bb (all black) I needed something that doesn't stick out and can take a beating and still work.

[@giusext]

OK, listen to this then: I was born in the early 70s and I've been knowing about Casio and G-shock since ever; but never wanted to buy one (I always considered them rather ugly or tacky). Until I started to follow your channel and a couple of others' (but not many actually). Then I really understood the value of G-shock (they are more precise, tougher, cooler and, mostly, cheaper than many other well known watch brands. I decided to go for the 'first and greatest' GW-5610U. After I bought it, I discovered the GW-6900. Sold the 5610 and bought the 6900. For me the coolest and most iconic of all the G-shock. Thanks for spreading the G-shock culture man!!

The GM-S2100 and GA-S2100 ranges are nice if you want a smaller G-Shock that looks a bit less military and a bit more do-anything vacation watch.

[@wj6782]

I'd be in heaven with G-Shock GBD200 Square Case, MIP Display, and Step-Tracker... just add Solar. Before that one with... it was G-Shock GWM5610-1 Solar. But Love the Look of the GBD200, the MIP display and I even think the Step-Tracker would be useful(as I get older, have to keep moving),,, I can't stop looking at it. What's stopping me is it's a little more expensive($30 CAD approx), and only 2-3+ yrs on the Batt. NO SOLAR. If it had Solar the extra $ wouldn't be a factor.

My first g shock watch was the G-7800, from 2008 but it was discontinued in 2009. This watch have the most customizable module inside, with a dot mátrix display, and you can change the font, and contrast level. I still have it with the original strap. Since then I added more g-shocks to my collection and some other protrek ones. I recently bought the stainless steel version of the square and is a great one, with all the scratches.

I honestly never had any interest in watches, but recently picked up a ga2100 and looked into the history of G-shocks a bit. Barely two weeks later and I've already ordered a 5610u, a World Time Royale, the A100, and a Vibration Alarm. I know this is just the beginning too..

The G is the perfect beater, but they're so cool I don't want to scratch them up either!

[@skxcellent]

I can't agree more on the GW-5610 recommendation. I'm literally wearing one right now, in fact. I'm active duty military and this watch is indispensable for me at work (and at play for that matter!). When recommending a G to someone with a slightly larger wrist size, I also recommend the GW-6900 with its slightly larger dimensions but still with multiband 6 and solar charging. I primarily need this as a watch that can go to hell and back and still tell the time with to-the-second accuracy. When I go to bed, this sits on the night stand next to my Omega Seamaster 300M (that has also seen its fair share of time in uniform). Both fantastic watches! Life is too short for snobbery. Also, shout out to the sky blue F91W... Well played!

[@anthonystevens8683]

I have to agree Russ, the 5610U would be my advice to anyone looking for a G-Shock, classic style, atomic time keeping, comfortable, solar powered and frankly brilliant. The MIP G-Shocks are better display wise but fitness and app oriented. I have more G-Shock and Casio watches than is arguably healthy as well as one or two Swiss mechanicals and I still have trouble deciding what will go on the wrist for the day. My 5610 (the old one, not the current U version) was on my wrist today for a hospital appointment.

This watch brand had special place in my heart. But in my case, 6 G-shock fail me. 2 of the are not that cheap. - The strap broken in 1 year use. -The inner resin core crumble in no time on the humid tropical island like my place. -The bezel deform after I had outdoor activity and expose to the sunlight for some period of time. (Such a dilema for tough solar type) - The bolt rust, snap & stuck in the case when I try to change the battery. - The WR not good if you do water sport with fast movement. (one of mine fail when I do kayaking) - they have mineral glass...but thin mineral glass. 3 of my Gshock life, end by banging a rock, coral & fall from motorbike. So on...so on. Plus...the reason some military use that, because they buy it with your tax maney. So they find something barely reliable, cheap, mass produce & dissposable. Just like the soldier itself.

Yes! The 5610u is a legend in the G-Shock world

I love G-Shock's and have had many over the years, but they're far from indestructible. I've had at least 5 fail from water ingress whilst surfing/water skiing after less than two years use. Thankfully they're relatively inexpensive, but i had one fail that was discontinued and I cannot buy again. It was one I adored too... can't remember the reference number.

I own a Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U-1ER and I am really satisfied with it. Nice piece of a genial technology!
