G-Shock MTG (MTG B1000B-1A4)

[@firemanvj]

This watch is absolutely Beautiful. I love G-shock

[@redkingd0m]

I own the MTGB1000-1A and have been daily wearing it on my wrist for a little over 2 months now and I’ve got to say it’s seriously surprised me. I didn’t think this “big” of a watch would be comfortable to wear in the daytime and when I sleep at night, but it sits so comfortably on my wrist and I haven’t had any hot spots like Rob says. It’s a beautiful watch with the rugged utilitarian design that I appreciate from G-shock. I love the stainless steel case with black resin band look and it pairs well with any outfit I have on (one of the things I was looking for when searching for a 24/7 watch). The battery life after a couple weeks stays on low though even when I’m out in the sun and in the office, utilizing the tough solar feature (the low battery hasn’t impeded any functions yet so I’ll see how that goes). This is my first g-shock and their build quality is amazing! The price hurts, not going to lie, but it makes my heart so happy when I look down at my wrist and I would not trade it for any other watch right now. For anyone doubting if they want this watch, go for it. Save a couple bucks and trust me it’ll be worth it if you’ve got your eye on this. Plus it won an iF design award in 2019 so that’s pretty cool ;)

How does it withstand scratching and damage. I've pumped my gst-b300 a few times and there's some small scratches on the metal here and there. Would be a shame to get that on a $1000 watch.

[@redkingd0m]

@@spacefox4684 The sapphire glass does withstand the scratching pretty decently, but the case itself will scratch. It’s been 2 years since I’ve owned it and it definitely has lots of noticeable scratches. Bare in mind I’ve worn it everyday since including sleeping and showering. I think it’s a beautiful watch, but you’re right; at $1000 I wish it didn’t scratch so easily but it does

[@spacefox4684]

@@redkingd0m yeah from what I understand the glass is pretty sturdy. Don't have any scratches on mine yet. I suppose accessories are just bound get damaged.

[@AirlinersHD]

What you say now about solar power on this watch? Tnx

[@bambikiller338]

The metallic red on the watch is awesome lookin IMO, I am so glad G-SHOCK is allowing you to set the watch with bluetooth because alot of these straight analog G-SHOCK’s are a pain to set.

[@scottsj4625]

I think there is a Gshock for everyone. So many models. Some are really high tech too. Great review. Thanks

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Wow, that's a badass watch. I have a G-SHOCK GA-1000A and its killer, too. 2sec/yr accuracy.

[@jamesarthur6962]

I have only only started buying G-SHOCK's again recently, since watching your VLOGS, just basic models, but this one is crazy in the RED, I know my father would love this. As I do as well.

[@ML-po6vy]

I got b1000b 1A, looks absolutely amazing🔥🔥🔥

[@jnelly814]

I tried one of these on a few weeks ago and loved how it wore. I ended up getting the GST-B200 though because I wanted to have the digital/analog combo. This one is a really good looking watch though.

[@raksh9]

This model is really growing on me as I watch videos. This watch looks much better in 3D motion than a flat, static image. And this looks like the same module as in the handcrafted titanium MRG models, so this watch gives you MRG functionality at a quarter of the price.

[@Arosha87]

i think thats the MTG G1000 that shared the module with the MRG....

[@jlf2393]

FANTASTIC LOOKING WATCH.

[@balistikmax]

I got the MTG-B1000BD-1A. It’s similar to this one but has a metal bracelet and blue sub dials. I got a good deal for it and paid $800 with tax when it retails for $1000.

I've got a Casio pro treck.. Track which ever. But after all the stuff they do at the end I can't help but say "oh yeah I almost forgot it also tells the time" haha

[@nadim9278]

Oh mann!! Dream watch

[@doodskie999]

I have a gst s310a, for $250, front is made of brushed stainless metal, has analog/digital, silar powered and has atomic clock sync, everything I need, also looks classy, people think its an uber expensive watch. Also its a tank. Probably my last gshock until it breaks, which I doubt it

[@einercolt9970]

It's gorgeous probably the black one

[@hulukki]

Bought this watch for 300 euros last month used. In mint condition. Greatest watch ever. Never would have bought it for 770 euros that it costs new here in Finland. CAN I SHIFT MINUTE AND HOUR HANDS FROM BLOCKING THE WIEW OF SUBDIALS?????

[@desire68frogman98]

Great review of a great G-Shock Rob. I have a few of these “higher end” G-Shocks and will definitely be adding one of the “limited Edition” versions to my collection. One thing I’m sure of, the LE version will most certainly cost more that this fine piece!

[@RandomRobReviews]

Gshock is a great brand and many cases rise in value faster then most other brands

[@desire68frogman98]

Random Rob Its a great piece for sure, not worth it to some, but definitely worth it to others!

[@airportworker_fra]

Thanks for answering my strap screw questions :)

[@DV91]

I like the style but not the price 🙂

[@spacefox4684]

Yeah you're definitely better off going with a G-STEEL if you like the style but don't want to spend a whole lot.

[@rawnuhld]

Found one on offerup in my city for $250. I had to buy it and I don’t regret purchasing it.

[@paulx7620]

It's beautiful in its own right. But way too busy for me to read. Thanks for the review Rob!

[@dustingaddis2423]

Agree. These are neat...but I have zero desire to own one.

[@ianmaw66]

I have another version of the same watch... Lovely. Thanks for the excellent review. That colourway looks fantastic.

[@typerightseesight]

This would be a fun one to trade up from the triple sensor stuff.

[@logojimmy]

Amazing timepiece .... Smart watches are bullshit compared to such chronographs

[@ryanstafford8544]

Not really for me. Prefer the classic squares. They are neat in their own way. Maybe it's the red throwing me? I do like the depth of the dial though.

[@clauschristoffero]

There's a silver/black version without the red stuff.

[@storm3016]

Gorgeous watch, thanks for the review! If only i had slightly more wrist to work with than the 6" I'm given.. :)

Cool watch Rob. Thank you for another excellent review :)

[@simoncrawford350]

Great looking watch and nice review, thanks for sharing!👍🍻

[@RichardWaineUK]

I own this watch, build quality is nice and it wears well, but the rattle from those spinning screw covers that connect the strap to the case is annoying. Also a shame that is only has one alarm instead of up to 5 on lower priced G-Shocks.

[@cowboyswami2017]

Great watch !

[@MehediHasan-wf6zp]

@randomrob hi how durable is the IP finish on these watches? I am debating between the silver finish and this black IP finish

[@kendesjarlais7577]

Amazing watch, a lot of features, very rugged I’m sure, but I can’t read the dial or at the very least it’s very difficult to read

[@greenerick]

Sorry 😞 to hear that you must be 45 years old or older

[@nifoughazi1312]

Best casio ever for me

[@J.Bradley.]

Fun watch but alot of things I don't need in a fashion watch for 900. Pro trek for the features and ruggedness.

[@typerightseesight]

Might be my next watch. the blue one. thats for sale. ect.

[@robb8773]

Hi Rob, I just bought a new MTG B1000X and put it on a window in direct light to charge the battery to full (5 bars as indicated on App). by the next day the charge level was only 2 bars as indicated on the App. Is this normal for the charge level to go down so fast? Should I return it or have it serviced? Thanks in advance, Rob

[@mikezeif9897]

how do I change to 12hr instead of 24hr?

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

I just ordered the all black version. Can't wait to get it. I definitely prefer the resin band over the metal. Great video!!

[@varunu4176]

Is the strap material as good or better than the Seiko turtle silicon strap?

[@rayquintanilla614]

I don’t know. It’s functionally pretty cool, but G-Shocks are still beater watches when it comes right down to it. I love em, but not going to spend $900 on it knowing I’m going to put it through the ringer like I do my others. Still cool watch though.

[@GODWITHUS0712]

Do you know if it's waterproof by any chance

[@Kingstonsmac]

Pretty pricey. I stopped at my GWG-1000-1A1 and I got a decent deal on it. Last g shock I need. :) Also is it legible ?

[@ret01101]

Nice presentation.

[@vdan2879]

I like the case, but can't stomach the red band as an everyday wear.

[@genli3641]

It indeed is a beautiful and useful watch. Nice review. Please do a comparison review between this one and the MRG MRGG2000R-1A. They look similar to me. And function-wise, I think they are the same too. Just wondering what causes the Mrg so much, damn 3K

[@saleendriver]

Just too delivery today of the version of this with the "hints of blue" in the watch face. Has the metal bracelet too. It is very nice. Though I think I'd like a leather strap on it a bit better, the bracelet is comfortable. I'll be doing a video on this soon. But thanks to your video, I own one, and I'm happy. So I thank you for this video of yours and fueling my sickness just a bit more.

[@sledgehammerlion]

I want to know why G-Shock SEEMS to be moving away from digital to these analog only watches. It’s a little disappointing to me. There are some really cool old MT-G and MR-G digital watches out there. After the success of the full metal square you would think they’d explore that a bit more. Idk. When I think of radio controlled analog watches I think of citizen. G-Shock is unique for their tough digital watches which go all the way back to their roots.

900 for a casio! I think not... They are very nice looking watches but my experience with casio divers and field watches shown me they are not worth the money, all of them with the rubber/silicon straps broke on me causing the watch to hit the hard pavement and breaking the glass and the watch itself. No more casios for me.
