This is hands down, a beautiful timepiece. Also, i do not consider it to be overpriced compared to say Tag Heuer's and Omegas. It is just as nice as the other brands.

[@Illsamustache]

Not only is it as nice, it’s more accurate and more useful.

[@humorss]

Those are essentially art pieces with value, some what useless as watches, inaccurate, fragile, little feature, weights a lot.

[@Mmoselle1983]

Absurdly overpriced, for so many reasons. It’s a fashion piece, for starters. This is Casio’s statement for overcharging.

[@loborojo777]

Well done. But I don't understand the hesitation to recommend this watch. I wear mine in the hardest desert climate the middle east has to offer. And I have no fear of it ever malfunctioning or making me late for an appointment. It's a tool watch. Not a dress watch. Yes, I use all the functions and information this watch has to offer. Yes, nobody I know cares about it or asks how much it costs. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, buy one, it's worth every penny. 1 of these titanium and sapphire beauties for two grand, or, 10 lesser G-Shocks for two hundred each? Good luck on your watch journeys ya'll. Nice one Rob! Great vid!

[@mbaulfinger]

Your logic makes sense. I've spent way more than the cost of this MRG on the rest of the Gshocks/Protreks in my collection. Makes me ponder culling the herd to pick up this bad boy!

[@greenerick]

The only problem with it is the screen is not protected compared to other G shocks other G shocks have a step to protect the glass

[@Will-yp6ny]

Beautiful watch and you bought it at the right price. $1900 is an awesome number for this watch. Japanese technology is second to none. I agree a 1000% with you on how you explained when someone ask about the purchase of a MR-G even a MT-G.

[@jcgoobee]

I have the same model for over 3 years now, and never regret spending so much for it. We only live once and we should have the freedom to acquire anything we can afford to buy. Simple as that. 😃

[@Vaco67]

Honest opinion Rob. If anyone should have that watch it’s you. You love g shocks. Most of us like them or are into them but it’s clear you love them and you put a lot of effort and care into collecting and sharing them. I’m happy for you and it’s cool we get to look at it too. So keep on keepin on.

[@rob1058]

I absolutely love these higher end G-Shocks and with all the functionality you get I still think they are a great value!

[@bushtrash2286]

Im homeless but when i get somewhere to live im getting myself one of these as a gift to myself.And to the watch guys, because it is badass. :)

[@aurelianobuendia5360]

110% agree. It looks so fkn goooood

[@andune]

This watch is what a watch was made to do. It tells the time, in the most accurate way possible. G-Shock made this timepiece, with modern material technology, modern timekeeping technology, and made at a level of craftsmanship that brings awe. Fantastic durability to boot. It's a testament to modern timekeeping technology all around. It is my dream watch.

[@mattiasfolkesson5625]

Nice things you Said about explaining your reason 2 others, i 100% agree,

[@drincogni]

Was once interest in buying a Rolex or Omega.when i discovered that they need servicing every 4 years due to an oil/rubber seal and that that Rolex didnt pass test for moon flight and learn that basicly they are museum pieces and obsolete tech which professionals dont use anymore went to buy a Casio Protrek 650 solar and a Casio Protrek WSD F20 battery GPS both for use at work.The Rangeman GBR B1000 was not available in stores yet. 😁 couldnt be happier.Previously i had a Titanium Tissot which constantly got shocked and stop working and before that i had a Swatch stainless steel and before that a Citizen automatic.The Casios beats all them in term of durability, weight ,reliability and technology!I feel sorry for people who still get fooled into buying those obsolete watches which tennis player wear.😐

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

I love this G-Shock, but wish it had a rubber strap like the MTG-B1000. I loathe metal watch straps. Nice review!!

[@thenexthobby]

I have no problem understanding why these sorts of watches exist, and more to the point why they can be appreciated for what they are, because I know what it is to be an audiophile. Now, _that's_ a hobby that can just about universally freak many people out who would otherwise never bat an eye at spending large dollars on all sorts of other things that are "OK" to spend money on. :) People like what they like for themselves first and foremost, and the moment they do not is when they're actually in trouble.

[@nggomez60]

Casio you always get what you pay for. This watch has fantastic build quality. You hold it and it feels like a 2000+ watch. In addition to the fact it has GPS (seiko astron all retail for similar price) its a steal considering it’s all titanium with such a phenomenal build quality

[@mrfrasermba_ttv8808]

NUTNFANCY RAID. Nice reference Rob! And man that's a sicccccc watch. The pics online don't do it justice. Truly unique piece.

[@alexg.9279]

Casio has always built hand made watched that look very masculine, sexy, rugged, modern and most importantly DETAILED watched for the last 15 years. And I'm speaking of this line and this series here is the epitome of MASCULINE built watches that is on another level vs rolex and those type of watches. My all time fav brand is Casio and will always be, you gotta love Casio and what they are hand crafting for their true fans 🤗😬

[@jonathaneaton3911]

Great video buddy I bought this watch a couple weeks ago and I love it high quality. And is great looking only problem is can’t stop looking at it lol

[@metallicarockacion]

Those G shocks are premium to a high standard. Absolutely a great choice if you have the money. G shock does not overprice! If anything they underprice in comparission to the swiss industry. if its expensive its for a good reason.

[@echandirohrmoser3183]

Totally agree. The top of the G-Shock lines are expensive for the features they have, and for the things they can do, not because of the "name". If there is anything I refuse to pay money for, is for a name. Many uninformed people pay hundreds of dollars buying fashion watches because of the name, believing that because it was so expensive it has to be good. Let's take the example of Daniel Wellington. Many people that know nothing about watches think it's a good watch. And because the watches is shamelessly sold at the price of 350USD they think it must be good. Well, those same watches can be found at 9 dollars at alibaba.com, only without the DW painted on the dial. So, people who bought DW, paid 97% of the price for a "name" printed on the dial of a generic chinese watch.

[@benjaminkessler8169]

4:40 MRG lines up Rolex: this is impossible to do becase we build it in Switzerland by hand

I think it is awesome. At my 6 3/4 wrist size, there is no way I could pull off 53 L-L. I enjoyed your talking about this good looking giant of a watch and seeing things like this is why I'm subscribed.

[@nolinchitnis]

Your videos are always so good. Crisp to the point and filled with info. And camera work is excellent. You can make budget watches look like high horology pieces

[@GabrielGGabGattringer]

Georgeous watch! A huge price tag but somehow i could justify a purchase (if i could affort to spend 2 monthly income s on a watch) because of all its features and practicallity.

[@wpherigo1]

What’s the battery life like? GPS can be power hungry, but I like that they used it. Nutn’s “2nd kind of cool” is a great concept. Well said, Rob.

[@threecats8219]

GPS only ever engages if you do it manually, or if it doesn't connect to multi-band six over the previous night. (It has four goes at multiband-six, so if you are in an area for it you are OK.) The batteries are excellent in these solar-powered atomic watches. I have three. One is fourteen years old and still holds a full charge which lasts months or a year. They charge up overnight in front of a low-energy bulb, if you put them 2cm away. (They don't get hot at that distance.) That watch is old and ugly though, so I never wear it besides rough stuff. My second Is a rubber one, and still holds a full charge. My third is the black one of the above MR-G. It takes longer to charge, but I don't know why. Either the battery is larger or it has a smaller solar-receptor. I think it's most likely a larger battery compared to my other watches, because this watch has a second hand. Plus that GPS time-sinc, if you ever need it. Battery life is still months though. However it could be longer, but I don't know as I never let battery power go less than upper medium charge. I saw two years on the Casio website. Not sure if that is if you take the watch off though, and it the hands go to sleep.

[@jimhine]

I share your appreciation of Casio’s engineering and design ethic. Their ProTrek field ani-digi field units are also attractive - and less expensive than these high-end Gshocks Would love a review of one of the positive display PRW-50s soon! Stoked you had Bruce review the Mont Bell!

[@hanumarn7882]

It’s the same as Lexus for Toyota, Acura for Honda. It’s not a necessity, it’s a luxury, so don’t go overboard and sell your car to buy the watch. 😄 Thank you for all the great reviews sir. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@vincentjack735]

That watch looks alive. A beautiful piece

[@Mel-md6cb]

I’m a sucker for knurled metal details/textures.

[@wapiti4680]

Fellow TnPr here, loads of 2nd kind of cool with this one

[@Arosha87]

this is the last of the GPS watches... as they went to bluetooth for the newer line up which is a tad lame really.... but this is the same module as the MTG G1000 which may be a more cost effective option.

[@VanaPica]

the deviation of 15 sec per month is the max only if it doesn't sync with GPS or wave signals. Great looking watch btw.

[@Isaiah6616]

You said retail price is $2600 and you got it for under $2000 where can you purchase it around the $2000 mark? Thanks

[@simoncrawford350]

Awesome bit of gear and glad you like it!!👍 Gonna be my next G, as my eyes don’t work as well as they used to,but easy to tell the time etc without the need of glasses (time at a glance)👍 hope you do an in-depth on functions, but thanks for sharing!👍🍻 Ps: merry Xmas and happy new year to you, the family and fellow subscribers👍🍻

[@Laz_Arus]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No need to justify your desire for a particular style of watch. While I admire the technology this watch incorporates, I would prefer the Seiko SBXC003 / SSH003J variant if I had the cash in hand.

[@MiddleAgedBrit]

I get it mate. The ultimate daily beater that will never let you down.. 👍

[@doolbtnawi5501]

Legend says the MI 6 refused to give it to James Bond , fearing he would mistake a button for another and start a 3 rd World War

[@周盈慶]

I also have the same model MRG-G1000-1ADR. The shape is very handsome, the function is very practical, and it is a titanium alloy shell of aerospace material. The Seiko astron of the same specification is not protected by G-SHOCK. The difference in durability is obvious. It is a military-grade watch.

[@TennesseeMike]

Great watch. I really like the MRG-G2000HA that has that AIP process. $7400 for a Gshock however or any watch not happening at this point in my journey. Fun to dream though. 😁

[@Happy-Me.]

I have this watch and sad to see that this model is no longer made.

[@farhadnaqvi]

One day I will buy it, in_sha_allah👍 . Now currently I have been using mtg b2000

[@piertechinc]

I see where you are coming from. I own rolex, Omega and grand seiko. But if I had to grab a watch that I know wouldnt get scratched during some outdoor activity, the g shock is what I would grab. Also, My grand seiko and G shock are the most accurate.

[@Mel-md6cb]

Oh my, my, my! I love that stealth look!

[@EagleOne49]

You finally did it! BRAVO!

[@boyanzlatanov6903]

Probably the best of the best of any watch. Wish i could afford it but they don't even sell it in my country XD

[@Mel-md6cb]

I believe the Yamagata site is the same factory/assembly site as the Grand Seiko.

[@doolbtnawi5501]

The dial looks like a city from above with all the details and different parts

[@ryanstafford8544]

Second kind of cool! Where what you like. 98% of people you contact face to face daily will never know or notice anyways. You can tell next to the MTG that the MRG is in a different class. I love it but wonder how it would look with a brushed titanium bezel instead of the black. Seiko monster style.

[@loborojo777]

Nice watch I like the black version. Very classy for a G-SHOCK. But still beefy. You are right. It’s your money it’s your decision. If you like it and can afford it. End of. I’ll be honest I’ve a Rolex and have had for years and I’ve got bored of the whole scene.

[@armyparty]

Sorry. Just one minute in but i got to say. I love the look of this watch. I personally have the gst-b100. I love that one also but mr-g just looks that much better. Out of my price range though.

[@DirkWerning]

I’m just gonna say....I want an MRG in titanium now. Damn. But I’m also looking at getting the Mont-Bell soon too.

That is incredible. I will have to do some research.

[@skookapalooza2016]

[@thedoble]

Second kinda cool, I like it! Would like to hear more about the details you enjoy on this model

[@specialkfouryou]

This thing is crazy cool, too bad the price tag matches, not going to say its not worth it, its always kinda a loosing prop as watches get more expensive, pretty much true with lux products in general but doesen't mean its not worth it. The factory tour vid was cool thanks for sharing.

[@UFCPR]

$3,000.00 Pre-Owned right now on Ebay.

[@threecats8219]

The timekeeping is only +or- 15 secs a month, if it does not calibrate. However they calibrate every day, meaning it's never more than 0.5 secs out ever.

[@echandirohrmoser3183]

Even though people have their watches synchronized to the atomic time, they are still 10 to 15 minutes late to their appointments.

Great video. I Love the watch, Where did you get it?

[@reginaldcrudstump383]

I love the look of this watch, I'm seriously tempted to get one after watching this video.

[@valjean3141]

Rob, are you able to find the time to wear all of your G shocks? I’m asking because you clearly love them, but I sense that you are collecting in part to “have” them, as opposed to limiting your collection to what you actually wear on a regular basis. Either way is legitimate, they are just different ways to collect. When you pulled out the MTG and put next to MRG, the question for me is, has the MRG basically pushed the MTG off your wrist? When you buy a more expensive and better finished version of an otherwise similar watch, that’s often what happens. I’m wondering if there’s something unique about the MTG for you, other than the simple price/quality point, that keeps it in rotation for you?

[@RandomRobReviews]

I wear most of the G-SHOCK. More watches the less wrist time they all get though. And no the more expensive models actually get less wrist time.

[@desire68frogman98]

Random Rob this is a great topic for a discussion and one that I’m actually passionate about. I feel that for me, its personality driven. I say that, meaning, there are a few pieces in my collection that don’t get worn often but i love the fact that i have them in the collection. I could sell them and keep only what i really wear often but that would not be me being true to myself. I’m sure there are others out there like me who don’t even wear a watch sometimes which seems crazy when you have a collection of 10, 20,30 plus watches. Its all part of the fun in collecting. Sometimes i try to explain this to none watch enthusiasts and we trip up at the very first hurdle, why do we need more than one watch? Well if you have to ask that question, the conversation is really pointless. We as collectors do so many things that are way out of the ordinary from having 5x the same watch in different colours to the infamous “rebuy” something that i don’t actually promote or do by the way. I have a very lovely and special MTG, its the Magma Ocean 35th anniversary edition. As special as this is, i will also be buying an MRG and i will say this, neither one of these pieces will see any more or less wrist time than the other. They are both unique and just as wrist worthy to me and both have a place in my collection. I’m rambling on now but like i said earlier, great topic for a discussion.

[@thefixxer72]

[@scottsj4625]

Sorry but I don't see the 2000 dollars in the Gshock. Casio was meant to be an affordable high tech rugged watch. It was not meant to be in the Luxury Catagory. Not that I know of. This is just recent.

[@xMikeDx]

Tried your email from your about page but it bounced back. I was just checking out your video and being in a neighbour state, i was curious if you can recommend where you procured yours from.

[@TanzanianRoots]

Casio has low brand value. So if you get the most expensive casio you can buy, your getting the best watch you can get quality wise. Thats my theory.

[@LordDirus007]

These are also limited editions. So in 10 years they will be extremely rare.

[@entroheat]

The phrasing is wrong it’s not low brand value it’s too much value for what’s offered so I agree with the part that states at this price level they rival best of the best and remember this is a doomsday survival watch

[@TanzanianRoots]

Low brand premium is probably a better way of putting it.

[@williamsimin]

I bought one of these watches about a year ago. I have watch collections. I kept it in the box for about a year and now that I took it out today it’s not working it was a brand new watch when I bought it. Would you have any ideas why it’s not working?
