Casio G-Shock MTG-B1000B review including G-Shock Connected app

[@seikoDVR]

nice one as always brother......wearing my MTG1000 today...... I need to check when you did that review

[@seikoDVR]

....2008..... god damn are we old...../JG justsellbrgs

[@DougFNJ]

Oh wow!! Over 12 years ago. That is great that you’re still wearing it. Curious, ever any battery issues, or does it charge the same today that it did years ago?

[@typerightseesight]

I could seriously dance around this thing all day.. Honestly, might be my next watch. I need that beginner watch that has the timezones on the face because i get LOST without them.

[@DougFNJ]

These are hard to come by now, I think it was one of the best MTG's released.

[@typerightseesight]

@@DougFNJ It's definately the freshest looking one. but the newer 2000 version is obviously superior. This watch has the timezones on the face but it doesnt have as many. With the 2000 they are literally position 1-14 on the watch face (and 48-59). with the b1000 they skip around and theres missing seconds hands entirely without timezones on them. lol. nothing extra special but its always nice to know you have everything updated. some of the older gshocks like the first rangeman you have to manually adjust for dst because theres missing timezones that dont exist anymore or something along those lines.

[@artyboy1377]

This is by far the best looking watch i have, even surpassing my old Tag Heuer. The natural tendency is to baby it which make me wear it less often lol. This all black model makes it look ageless compared to most chrome metal watches. All my years collecting G-Shocks I never thought the brand known best for its digital watches actually makes analogue watches that looks better than its digital ones. The only negative is its painful to adjust an analogue G-Shock (my Gravity Defier cough!) but at least there is G-Shock Connected & Move to take care of it.

[@DougFNJ]

That first adjustment can be brutal, but as you stated, Connected app takes that pain away. I agree, this is an incredible looking design. Casio has grown immensely with their releases lately, and so many types to appeal to pretty much anybody.

i know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@antoniodominik2975]

@Cody Kyler I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@antoniodominik2975]

@Cody Kyler it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@Mmoselle1983]

Own it. Love it. Only thing I don’t like, is the illumination. The led could have been placed in front of the day of the month display. At night, it’s almost impossible to read the day of month. Glad they implemented this on the MTG-B3000 all metal models.

[@DougFNJ]

One thing I appreciate about Casio is they listen to their customers. They’ve released a few updated models that you could tell feedback played a role.

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

First LML ;-P Lovely review.... now you need to believe me, I’ve yet to own or review a MTG ;-P and this version you have is very very tempting, very tempting LML Looks pretty similar to my Gravitymaster module, why they don’t beep when starting the stopwatch and timer I don’t know. Nice side by side shot with the app, did try it with that GST I did recently. Huge thumbs and cheers for all the details especially that blue lume shot ;)

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you Mr. Rangeman, its a pretty close module to that Gravitymaster, but it is almost spot on with the module from the MRG-B1000B. It really is a nice watch, another different touch on their analogs.

[@TheAcidheat]

nice review

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Happy New Years!

[@TheAcidheat]

@@DougFNJ u too thx

[@typerightseesight]

it never dawned on me the timer spins backwards. which is neat.

[@DougFNJ]

Ive always loved that with Analog Casios

[@typerightseesight]

@@DougFNJ yeh, not fair. my ggb100 does nothing in timer or stopwatch. im assuming cuz its only got 1 dial. the seconds hand does barometer and alti graph so i duno why it wouldnt. :/

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Hi Doug! hope all is well.

[@DougFNJ]

Hi Mike, thanks buddy, doing great, I hope you are too. Greatvideo on the solar charger by the way!

[@vladimirciobanu3520]

anybody knows if the strap can be replaced with a metal one?

[@DougFNJ]

If you could find the OEM bracelet that goes with this case, should be a problem.

[@aqua-cel_ag4469]

Does anyone know what kind of steel this watch is made of ? Is 316L ?

[@DougFNJ]

That is a GREAT question. I am going to reach out to a contact I have at Casio and see if I can get an answer. If anyone else might know, please let us all know.

[@ronmiller1794]

do you make glasses for a living? your left hands thumb looks like mine.

[@DougFNJ]

No, are you talking about that groove? I banged it in a car door when I was a kid, it never grows back right.

[@PHDRPH]

Why does all of these watches , that I see online or on Amazon.. the battery level is always on L(low)

[@DougFNJ]

A lot of time they’ve been stored in boxes and taken out for reviews or photos before charging.

[@danutvonlucian3683]

What that little subdial P A, means?

[@DougFNJ]

Thats the AM or PM for the second time zone clock sub dial.

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

It's expensive. Almost $1000 Canadian. The GBD H1000 Is only $500 and I think it's just as good.

[@DougFNJ]

They are both great watches, your choice comes down to taste, digital or analog

[@typerightseesight]

how fun would it be if they made a mudmaster triple sensor that was TOTALLY analog. lol.

[@DougFNJ]

That would be REAL interesting....and possible based on the Frogman analog.

[@typerightseesight]

@@DougFNJ mmmhm. the frogmans weird. because its a cheaper version of the mtg mrg. but it has sensors? the specs arent filled out correctly on the site. does it just use a timer? or does "dive time interval" mean "depth sensor" compass? thermometer? doesnt even say.

[@typerightseesight]

I found on those the timezones dont fall under the 14th or 48th hand.

[@rafayelhovhannisyan6526]

How to find phone? Instructions please

[@DougFNJ]

When connected to Bluetooth, hold the bottom right button for 5 seconds. Hope that helps.

@@DougFNJ yes it hepls. THANK YOU

[@rafayelhovhannisyan6526]

@@DougFNJ but unfortunatelly it is disconecting automatically after 10 min

[@yuenwailai6360]

"Poor mens mrg", so poor that i only spend 1000 eur on a mtg 😂

[@DougFNJ]

Funny, definitely poor man's compared to 3 times the price with MRG, but certainly not a poor man's watch. Thank you for your comment.
