Great review Jody! Thanks for the kind words, always happy to support the channel. I just love this piece, as ridiculous as it might seem 😉 not afraid to use this as a beater. Cheers, JP

Been wearing my black full metal square for a couple of weeks now and I love it! Bought it for 374€ (around $400) new in Germany. The price is totally worth it! I have a 6,5"/16,5cm wrist and it fits well but a 6" wrist would be small for it. The first links drop vertically down but it looks natural due to the very curved lugs. The buttons, the module and the display are the best of the squares although the negative display is not as readable in dim light. The automatic backlight works well though. I wish they made the resin version with STN display and buttons as big as on this one. Would buy one as a beater.

I got one as a present for Christmas, and I am absolutely delighted with it and have been wearing it almost constantly since then . Looks & feels fantastic on my wrist which is slightly smaller than yours and I have no problems wearing it, does not feel large on my wrist at all. The squat shape of the watch makes it wear smaller in my opinion.

It looks fantastic. I think there is a lot of hypocrisy going on with people saying it is too expensive and should cost $200 at most. I am guilty of this too. Mechanical watches often get a free pass even if they sport cheap, basic movements but because this Casio is digital we think it shouldn't cost much.

I'd wear it over the resin body. But don't kid yourself. Its manufacturing price is like $10, $20 tops. Selling it for more than $75 is a stretch. There's smart watches that cost $150 that have way more sophisticated hardware and displays in them, and there's mechanical watches that cost $50-$100 that have sapphire crystal windows. This is just a regular $10 gshock in a metal case. For the price they're asking, they should have given it a sapphire crystal window and at least a better display like e-ink. It's clearly just a shameful money grab.

I've a 6.5 inch wrist. Gmw-b5000 in black with metal bracelet, I must say, is my favorite model. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. It's become my everyday watch. It's very versatile and goes well even as a formal piece. Ever since I've been wearing this, I really feel like I don't need any other watch. The quality of metal bracelet and clasp is surprisingly good for the price. The black one looks and feels like a so much expensive watch. And that black negative display is absolutely gorgeous (and legible from all angles). Also, with the black model, the writings on the front of the case are gray, which make it very understated and not so loud (unlike other g shocks) so that makes it a serious looking watch. Also, the black and gold color are more scratch resistant than the steel one. Overall, this is the best watch purchase I made. My honeymoon period with this one is nowhere close to getting over.

You're spot on. These are for us Casio collectors. I have hand wind, automatic, vintage and luxury...but...I always find myself going for my GShocks. Just got the gx56bb-1. It is ridiculous, huge, unnecessary but surprisingly it is my new favourite. Like you said, few watches bring a smile so it is special when they do. I want the Metal in Gold for when I want to bling out.

This looks amazing! I don't think it's overpriced, considering it's the first gen of metal square G-Shock, there's gotta be some R&D costs to redesign the shock-resistance feature from resin squares to metal squares. I held it in my hand at the boutique and it feels solid like a tank. The finishing looks awesome for a G-Shock, and it's got a design legacy behind it. This looks like the kind of watch that could be both posh and practical, and it's definitely coming to my wrist soon.

Love mine. You’re right I use my plastic version one for bashing about and the steel one as my dress g shock. They are for collectors really although it would make a great every day watch that looks awesome and can be used for everything from eating out to diving in the ocean. The moment you connect it to your phone it syncs the time so you can make it to the second accurate quickly and easily in countries without multi band signals. The display is a special version on the full metal too which is much cleaner and crisper. Also this is the only solar g shock to have the brick pattern display on for the full retro look.

When this came out I thought, "at that price no chance" as I fondly looked at my 5610 on the wrist. Time passed and I pondered.. they sold out and I was oddly sad. Sometime later they cropped up again and I pondered some more... they sold out as well. Not being someone who want's to pay above retail I ignored used examples. A year later I spotted one online in the UK reduced, one only and now I have it. And what a fantastic job Casio have done. My regular G-Shock it is not, the old faithful 5610 is that watch but when I'm not saving the world and I feel like a change I pop this on my wrist and the smile is from ear to ear. A great review Jodi.

Look at the specs, examine the finish, and this watch is unbeatable at the price. If you can get one with a bit of discount it’s an absolute no brainier purchase. A top quality watch which will always be correct to the second anywhere in the world with atomic time reception or Bluetooth, no maintenance required, no setting required, no battery replacement for 15 years (at least). The backlight can be set to 2 or 4 seconds and manual or automatic. All functions and more can be accessed using a mobile phone app and the Bluetooth connection. Any scratches or dings it may pick up in decades of wear will simply add character. A true classic.

6,5"er here too. It wears fine. I love mine! The first links drop down vertically and it looks natural due to the highly curved lugs. There are gaps between my arm and the lugs but you only see them from certain directions where other people would rarely see. In the mirror it looks absolutely great. A 6" inch wrist would be too small in my opinion though.

A great review as usual but I missed the Bluetooth part because it definitely adds some functionality to the watch. I have two, the stainless steel and the gold one... ( but the gold one I am now giving to my son) so I am on to buying the black one for myself instead. I paid roughly 490 US each and I think that's totally ok for what you get. It's a fun, nostalgic and beautiful watch to wear when you want to be over the radar. I prefer the positive display for the negative even though the negative display is much better on the full metal than on the usual square g:s. For now my full metal is my classy watch and also my precious beater. I love it!

The ring does not have a single scratch on it. Tungsten carbide is heavy, almost as much as gold, but it takes a beating. It the Casio G-shock B5000D-ER had been made of Tungsten, it would have lived up to it's reputation.

I got a "Chipolo" bluetooth key locator as a christmas pressy from my boss. It's a tiny tag with a bluetooth chip and a little speaker. You pair it with your phone, it has an unobstructed range of 60 meters, and you can make it ring from your phone OR you can make your phone ring by pressing it. Also your phone remembers where it lost bluetooth contact with it, so you can roughly say where you left your keys. Now, it occurs to me that these bluetooth alarm watches should have pretty much the same hardware already that the Chipolo does. So it could be just a matter of programming to add that feature. Imagine using your watch to find your phone (even on mute), and vice versa? Now that would be cool.

Interesting that you mentioned the "nicer" packaging, but that's identical to 4 inexpensive models I recently picked up, all retailing well under $200 each and in some cases retailing under $100 each. But I don't have the base model, so maybe that one comes in a cardboard or plastic container? I'll look at these again when there's less chrome and more brushing, and a module with 3-character text for the day, as many cheaper models have. Until then, its "FA"bulous.

At the big retailers (Amazon etc) you cannot find it for the list price. So it's already a good investment.

Purchased Casio for $499. Also purchased Skmei #1456 for $17 from AliExpress. One for gentle wear, one to beat to death.

I don’t believe the solar power system could handle a heart rate monitor. I don’t know, but that maybe the case. I wish I had gotten one of these when I went to the gshock event with mr. ibe at a local jewelry store. Although, since they were charging full retail, maybe I wouldn’t. .

I think so too. There's no way the watch's solar battery capacity can handle the heart rate monitor, not to mention the processing powered required after that too.

I see what you mean about it losing ‘beater’ status. Don’t like high polish end link (if you like) to the brushed bracelet as that has to be a magnet for scratches etc. Looks better than I thought it would but like you it grates with me paying that much for something that costs £50. Do fancy the black out one though, I think that is way cooler. Splendid review and your right JPs collection is fantastic.

It's an excellent watch,it's worth the price,it will last for decades,you won't see it on every fool on the street. However a new MR-G with lcd display would be nice,sapphire,hardened titanium,gps time sync,stn display or digital paper display.G Shock is heading toward a good direction and gives many many options.In a few years you will see new models for sale for many thousands of dollars made out of solid gold

Now why didn't AP think of a case and bracelet like that with their new 1 minute to twelve affair? An anologue in that case !!!!!!! Bingo.Too dear for a Casio but my point is how do they create such remarkable design ? Because they can and have done for decades! No fuss ,no hastle they just get on with it! Great video.Cheers.

Since they added Bluetooth functionality they could have at least given the option for the watch to beep once for text message and twice for a phone call coming through. I prefer to have my phone on silent mode and my apple watch gives me vibrations to let me know whats going on. Thats the main function of my apple watch. I just wish this simple function could be done by my Casio. Then I could get rid of the apple watch for good and just use this beauty.

I believe their is an Android app we're you can set a radio time watch in other countries. You need to make a special antenna that fits into the headphone out. It then gets the time from the phone and transmits the correct signal over a short distance.

Thanks for the video. Very attractive watch. I only have two g shocks at the moment, a mudmaster and a carbon fibre frogman, both would probably qualify as small clocks. But I find them nice to wear nonetheless.
