G-Shock GMW-B5000 - Full Metal Square - Long Term Review

[@TeddyBoy7796]

Great watch which I’ll definitely be getting, best review video of it on KZbin, fantastic shots in what looks like natural lights, cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrBouwiii]

A few months ago i bought one and i really love it. Now i want the gold negative version too. And a titanium version. 😍

[@WristSaga]

It seems that you have the bug now✌🏻😏

[@MrBouwiii]

@@WristSaga yes, now I have de gold one too. 😁

[@Thelakshayy9]

I bought this watch on 13th December , i loved it .

[@expomm]

I like the gold and negative version

[@haamaanaa]

Brushed bracelet is a good thing IMO, it shows the life of the watch eventually 😎

[@steven3379]

I might have to try and get the 40th Anniversary version of this watch... Good video thanks for sharing!

[@jefferyneu3915]

I have one arriving in the next week or two. I am looking forward to having all the connectivity in a positive display model. My current square is a negative display, meaning I have barely worn it at all.

[@tinentdan]

Nice watch. What I would change/add would be: On the fly adjustment Clasp Screw on links More brushing than poloshing A good scratch resistant coating/treatment Maybe titanium in stead of steel. I suppose it would make it more expensive, but it would be really cool Meanwhile I have my resin G-Shocks and a Casio Royale on an after market stainless steel case with sapphire glass. 😁

[@e28forever30]

Screw on links bring no value. These bracelets assembled with spring bars, a superb idea.

[@lukthere2]

Got it for 320 new as part of the 40th anniversary sale. 9 months with me now and i love it. It definitely is not worth 500+ but otherwise its and awesome watch 👌 it can scratch quite easily, but i dont mind it - gives it character. It's a gshock nonetheless

[@RJ-cq8dd]

The only watch i own that doesn't have springbars is my Tactical frog Tudor FX homage (fixed lugs). Even my $1700 titanium g-shock has springbars in the clasp. I'm not worried about it, springbars rarely fail.

[@greenerick]

It was a great video. I have had my titanium version of the G-Shock square watch for five years now. It is a great watch.

[@TheGoodfella2012]

Which model number? How much did you pay for it?

[@slabua]

A spring bar breaking would save your wrist in a bad situation, so it is good.

[@johniek205]

The gold version does not scratch as easily as the silver one, because it’s pvd coated and the silver is not. Go for the gold!

[@WristSaga]

Thanks for the tip✌🏻😏

[@turbolenza35]

Best watch ever.

[@bestboy897]

Great watch great review

[@NihilistWarGod]

Nice one. Hope this helps with the youtube algo🍻

[@omegasak1752]

I prefer the bracelet to break rather than my hand. That's why they use spring Bars.

[@rustemtatar1552]

Тоже так думаю 👍

[@anonymusmester]

Hi thanks for your video, how would you compare the viewing angles of this b5000 compared to the 5610u and especially the b5600 (all of them with positive display). I have heard that b5600 was better than the 5610u.I would like to have similar viewing angles as an analog watch, to look at it while I can keep my hand on the handlebar of a bike.

[@WristSaga]

The GMW B5000 has better viewing angle than any other G-Shock square imo✌🏻

[@vktravellog1242]

Love mine although i dont wear it much

[@BIllyZantensu]

Hey, how do you maintain your skeleton case so clean? Mine became so dirty-looking after 2 years.

[@WristSaga]

I wash the watch daily after coming home. I clean it just like I wash my hands and sometimes I use a toothbrush.

[@XxxAtlantaxxX]

G-Shocks needs to start having sapphire crystals on these lower tier watches. I’ll pay the extra.

[@dlb15]

Sapphire is weaker than mineral glass. That’s the point

[@CATARINOVICTOR]

GMW-B5000SS-2 have demand?

[@rustemtatar1552]

3:12 - Не понимаю одного : какой смысл этой красной прокладки, когда как верхняя накладка на корпус крепится к нему жёстко винтами ?

[@Àlify.11]

How many cost

[@WristSaga]

400-500USD

[@e28forever30]

Ever heard of Google?

[@deathbydart3891]

What size is your wrist? I have a 6" inch wrist and I'm concerned it'll look like a hog on me

[@GS-go9qq]

It does sit big because the first link on the bracelet doesn't flex so the actual lug to lug is much bigger. But g shocks are meant to look chunky so worth trying it on

[@WristSaga]

Forget about stereotypes, G-Shocks are meant to be worn big. My wrist is 6.5 inches.

[@anonymoussurname]

I scratched the mineral crystal on mine. These need to come with sapphire. I can forgive and work past everything else.

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

I like it. But it is too expensive in my opinion. They could probably sell it for 200 less and still make good money. The best bang for the buck that Casio offers is the titanium Lineage Waveceptor model with all of these features except bluetooth and saphire glass on top. All for less than 250 bucks. But of course it is not a G Shock

[@NaviNavi-1uu8tg]

Come on this watch worth every cent. That titanium MRG B5000 is expensive, that plastic GW 5000U is overpriced too, but not this one. It has amazing steel very good made and better display than 5610u and 5000u.

[@NaviNavi-1uu8tg]

If you don’t have it don’t think too much just buy it and you won’t regret it trust me.

[@fatedb5753]

No one is selling a g shock of this material and quality for 200. Regular g shocks are 140-200

[@e28forever30]

Get it pre-owned . It’s worth it.

[@e28forever30]

@@NaviNavi-1uu8tg GW-5000U has a stainless steel steel case bud…

[@FullTekAuto]

The only watch if you could only have 1 watch. It does reliable time It does dressy attire It can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’ The only con of it is its ironic pro. It’s very “blingy” and can be a target of theft.. or just annoying unwanted attention

[@nxmxorology]

wat happened?

[@WristSaga]

Sound had problems and cracked so I had to republish it. Now sounds better. Sorry, only my OCD. Haha..🙃

[@micaljimenez7381]

I have one of these,in full metal,the most nice and confortable casio i have,she only have somes problems,the alarm and the countdown are so low that i can heat it,the modul is so protected into metal and plastic,its just realy ilogical or stupid,why dont they put various nivel of sound,low,medium and high,or just like in other casio model an alarm vibration who work great...an other problem is the message you want to remember,for exemple if you remember to call tomorow a 3pm the watch will illuminated tonight a midnight and will never remember you nothing a 3pm....for me casio engeener have to be shame and think in harakiri for that,,,but the watch is very nice...unfunctional but nice

i have one but i could not get used with the lack of vibrations for alarms, so i wear it very rare, almost never.

You have a phone for alarms.

[@brunosco]

If the elephant in the room is being a scratch magnet, then the better choice seems definitely to be the more recent “recrystallised” version.

Quite nice version. Thanks!✌🏻

$300+ for a hunk of plastic and an O ring seal. LMAO When I disassembled mine to replace battery I really felt like a sucker.

[@Murtagh653]

the plastic actually serves a purpose; to protect from shock. in the all titanium model, they had to redesign the case, if you look closely, it is actually a bunch of different parts slotted together, whereas the stainless steel models are all one piece. they had to redesign the case for the titanium model because if they left out the plastic / resin, they needed a way for the watch to absorb shock without damaging the internal components, so the whole case acts as a kind of shock absorber. unfortunately, the titanium model is also massively overpriced. the stainless steel versions are definitely overpriced (for the price they could at least include sapphire crystal) but the plastic inside is not just to cut costs.

[@anonymoussurname]

Replace the battery? It’s solar … yes I understand how a solar cell works but I don’t understood why or even how you’d be replacing it.

[@rockymntdan1]

@@anonymoussurname Solar needs a battery. No battery, no power when there's no light. Battery wears down over a couple years or so of recharge/charge cycles. So a solar watch isn't "all that", isn't magic and you never need a battery again.

[@Murtagh653]

@@rockymntdan1 if kept charged the battery / capacitor should last for 10 - 20 years, unfortunately if you let it run out of charge it tends to degrade and may not hold a charge if you charge it again.

[@frankebayernpilot]

The basic equipment with China Mod is $300 cheaper. This shows how expensive this "original" is and how much money is made from it. Not with me. The scratches can be removed with a new mod. It doesn't work here.

[@e28forever30]

There’s no comparison.

[@e28forever30]

It does work here. Bezel and bracelet are replaceable.

[@narcisporoh2794]

Please go purchase your fake thing and leave people who care about quality alone. Clearly you have zero clue about what you are talking.

[@frankebayernpilot]

@narcisporoh2794 my products are made of polished stainless steel. I bought 60% cheaper, Question 1: who has no idea here? Question 2: why such toxic language?

[@8AP1]

There is few differences that warrant the price difference... * The B5000 has a steel body. The steel lugs will last forever, vs plastic lugs that can deform or break. * STN display has far better viewing angles * B5000 has double gaskets on each of the pushers vs single gaskets
