I've got the purple version and its hands down my favorite watch in my collection. It's so lightweight that I'd forget I'm even wearing it if I wasn't staring at its beauty all the time.

Is the clasp on yours really loud and rattles?

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

@TheRealBruceLee I wouldn't say it's really loud at all, but it definitely rattles a little bit.

[@F.C.Sneakerfactory]

I appreciate the review as always Chavo. Gorgeous watch. You probably don’t even feel the watch on you. Crazy.

It's a cool watch. I'm not sure about spending that much on a square, but I definitely get the appeal. I actually got my 1st titanium watch a few months ago, and it's COMFY. I get along fine with steel watches on steel bracelets weighing ~150g, but it's just a simple reality that _lighter_ is *comfier* . Some have a strong idea in their minds that more weight means more quality. I don't have any gold watch yet for example, but I definitely understand that if you shell out the $$ for gold, you'll want to feel the weight of it on your wrist. Steel has no prestige, though, so I'm for titanium (preferred with a hardness coating), forged carbon, ceramic. Premium materials can be lighter than steel as well as heavier. Anyway, my most expensive G-shock square is my GW-5000U, and I'm pretty satisfied with that.

I hope they make this one again as a non-special edition!

[@TeensierPython]

Wish I knew this existed when you were able to get one. I’m not paying crazy markups on the secondary market. Bummer.

[@CarlosPeixoto-v3r]

Having several squares, stainless is one thing, but my favs are the CF and the TVA, great squares.

Great vid subbed. Keep it up man 🤙🏾

[@truesf345]

This is my Grail watch , as soon as I saw the announcement I wanted it , eventually I’ll get my hands on one ! ☝️

[@steven3379]

That's a beauty alright! But I'm not spending that much on Carbon Fiber, I might get a Titanium version but I would most likely just get a regular all steel version.

[@brunosco]

The display is negative, but with STN-LCD technology, so with higher contrast and better readability than the base TN-LCD found on cheaper/resin ones.

[@Baruch-Hashem]

The carbon is light, awesome, but is it strong ? I would buy one with a MIP display, but same functionality. Thanks for the review!

[@brunosco]

I think it's supposed to be super strong.

[@martymar1484]

If you are used to weight on your wrist.then a light watch is a trip..it happens to me a lot because I switch between my Seiko and G-shock

[@douglaskrueger357]

I bet they won’t do another carbon square again. That would be a baller move.

[@fuloplehel]

Very expensive for a carbon fiber. There are titanium ones in this price range. I have the full stainless steel version, and the GW - 5000U with a steel core and resin bezel. This carbon one is more for collectors, kept in a box until the battery is discharged like on that rose gold one.

[@grateful_manbg9431]

Carbon…Will my hand sweat?😢?!?

[@RJ-cq8dd]

That transition from case to bracelet looks horribly abrupt and disconnected. Was much better on the older B5000 models.

[@mwboost]

Wonder how much carbon is actually in it. I reckon it's way overpriced. I'd get the purple but the price. 🤔

[@jayffeefernandez59]

can i have one, please.

[@tpop3723]

It’s in the mail.
