What about the steps counter accuracy pls? Some report it is way off!

[@taoistgoth]

One neat trick you missed is that when you're in TIMER mode, you can cycle through the 5 timers by pressing START to start timing, then holding down DISP for a couple of seconds, which moves you onto the next timer in the sequence. I've set up all 5 timers with the times I use most: 1:00:00, 30:00, 10:00, 5:00, 2:00. I can basically pick the one I want using this method, which is really useful, rather than having to set up a particular time using the UP/DOWN keys, which takes way too long.

Just received mine today and this video was extremely helpful setting up the watch. You were right on, too. I have had many Casios/G-shocks and that "muscle memory" is real. I couldn't figure out why the controls didn't "work" like I was used to. Once I watched the video and played around a bit...I'm getting the hang of it after only 15 minutes. Thank you. I' ve saved this video and plan to come back to it.

[@thebarak]

Your reviews are always the best. I ordered one, solely for the easier-to-see time/date. I may occasionally check the tide before going to the beach, but I do not intend use the other complications since I always carry my much larger smartphone. When Casio make a simple watch with this display and solar charging, I'll get that next.

I was looking at buying this watch for sunset-sunrise times, and because I’m OLD!😂😂😂

[@ercvider]

sir, just got this watch and I love it.. sunrise and sunset is there... when Im on the seaside... here is a tide info... and just stupid enough of a watch to have just the basic information you need from a watch... I could even do without the reading of notifications... just "bip" would suffice so id know there is something on my phone...

[@quicksilver727]

Thank you for the tutorial. I didn't even bother to look at this watch when it was introduced. Only after I bought 2 negative displays G Shocks ( GW9400 1BER & DW6900 BB) I realised that there should be a better negative display in the G Shock line up. By the time I look back at the GBX 100 models, they're out stock! I was fortunate to get one from a local shop and didn't think twice to get it when he said its on limited stock. Amazing display and thats all I want, the MIP display. I look at my watch and I can see the time crystal clear! and rest of the features are bonus for me.

Even with its shortcomings this is a beautiful and amazing watch.

This is the best tutorial for this watch. Yesterday I found a good deal for the GBX-100KI-1 and today I watched this video to set up the watch. I have the G-7800 and this is very similar design with the metal bezel. I like the display of this GBX-100KI-1. Your video is better than the manual. Thank you. 👍👍

[@echandirohrmoser3183]

I wanted to buy this watch because of how it looks. The lack of Tough Solar is by itself a big turn off for me, after watching this setting tutorial, it made me desist my desire for this watch. As a guy stated above, if Watch Geek says the watch is complicated and slow, then it is! Thank you Watch Geek, your videos are always a good reference. I bought the GR-B100 after watching your tutorial.

Yep, imagine having to re-setup this watch after battery change :(

[@echandirohrmoser3183]

@@j.harbottle8928 I assume it might happen frequently, since this watch is packed with so many features and BT connectivity that are power drainers, and I am an heavy watch functions user, so in my case battery might have to be replaced once every 18 months, or less.

I got one today. I went for the black model, but I liked the Teal also. Its super easy to see the display. I've not had time to figure out all the features yet.

[@johndobbins8051]

I've got the teal green-blue model and quite like it. The display is fantastic! I have notifications turned off, because I get enough of that nonsense already. Basically the step counter and work out tracking are the only "smartwatch" features I use and they work perfectly well for me.

[@johndobbins8051]

Using the app to setup the watch is definitely the way to go.

[@GinkgoJoe]

I have this same watch and I do (mostly) like it. This display is stellar, moon phase and tide is great (once you synch the tide to the real local value), and the papery weird band is really cool (I hope it lasts). What drives me crazy: not being able to zero the seconds manually. I put the watch in airplane mode all the time because I don't care about Bluetooth notifications, but being able to synchronize with atomic time should not require hooking up to an app! (That said, this module is pretty accurate and I don't have to synch it as often as most of my other G-Shocks....) Thanks for all the great gshock videos you've done for us. You are truly a community presence!

Moon Shadow but it is the case without smartphone link (i.e. the whole point of the complaint: a watch should not require a phone to zero its seconds).

[@quicksilver727]

@@GinkgoJoe Remember when we used to call our handset as cellular phones? Now they call it smartphones because of all the features it can do for our convenience. I agree with you when you say 'a watch should not require a phone to zero its seconds'" . But the GBX 100 is not just watch. It is a digital watch and digital watches are evolving. G Shock for its part, is doing its best to catch up with the evolution of the digital technology with the digital smart watches as their competitor. Whether you like it or not, your digital watch is linked to your essential gadget and that is your smart phone. The feature is meant to be used for convenience. But to each his own. To use it or not, it's your choice , your decision.

[@georgiyanev7822]

I like this watch for the design and the digital screen. From the features aside from watching the time itself I am mostly using the alarm, checking my steps and notifications(for example if my phone sound is off and if someone calls me, the phone is on the bed and I will get the vibration on my wrist). The app is a bit slow yeah, but not unnaceptable, I mean how many times will you go in there). About the batery, for me personally if it lasts at least an year, then it's fine going to change it once a year. I know what I got beforehand after all.

[@Mikealvs]

Helllo, can the alarm vibrate without any bip ? Only vibration. Thanks

[@mlotens1976]

If it had Tough Solar, Multiband 6 besides Bluetooth and a much faster input response, this would be my next timepiece.

[@taoistgoth]

I used to think the same, but the new MIP G-Shocks with Solar still can't go forever without needing to recharge, so a battery swap every 2 years is no worse than plugging the watch into the mains every couple of weeks. In fact I'd say it's better. Multiband 6 isn't needed when you have time sync over bluetooth - again that's better because it works anywhere in the world. The input response isn't really an issue day-to-day once you've got everything set up.

[@KeMyOoZ]

Thank you so much for this. I just got this watch yesterday and this video helped a ton. How do i turn notifications off without having to unpair the watch from the phone? I already turned off the beep and vibration on notifications but the constant alerts on the screen with every text, calls etc are just annoying.

[@Bravesailor95]

There seems to be a big problem with the tide and step tracker data. According to a lot of people on the internet fora, the tracker is way off. It even counts while sleeping, typing, ... I've asked CASIO if those issues are resolved with the latest firmware update. Waiting for a response.

[@TeddyBoy7796]

I’ve bought this watch in the black version (ss bezel) mainly because of the detailed tide/moon/sun functions which is a lot more detailed than any other tide graph G Shock I’ve had before, also the face looks good with the MIP, one thing that annoys me is they didn’t include a basic countdown timer like every other G shock has, I’ll have to use the first one of the workout timers but it would have been so easy just to add a basic timer to the modes.

Great Video, Superb Job with all Functions. Amazing. 🤗 I have the GBD-200 and now the GBX-100NS-1 Can I add this watch to the App or is it only 1 watch profile only? I can't see a way to connect another watch once my GBD-200 is connected. Unlike the other G-Shock app that allows all my other watches to be listed and then I just click on the watch I want connected and Bam, it's connected of course one watch is connected at a time but I am able to connect and register all watches I own on that app, which is awesome. Seems the G-Shock move doesn't allow me to connect Another watch just so I can have on the list so when I decide to switch watches.

And doing it manually loses the name of the location (it just appears as USER 1 2 or 3) in the watch and the height of the sea. Any info if Casio is adding more points for the tide charts? My region is a famous surf destination and we have no info

[@typerightseesight]

cant decide on it or not. tide graph step tracker is great. but it doesnt do the incline decline feature the mudmasters do. with that you can tell if your incline or decline step tracking. but theres no tide feature. so its a big round about with holes in it. but still great. watch.

So I just purchased this watch a few days back and I cant select the APP function for the Tide setting. I mean, its there bu the watch gives me a NOT AVAILABLE message. Latter I managed to set it to the app but from the app only and ONLY for locations that were already pre set in the MOVE app. However, if I tap a location on the map and create a new one - It cannot be sent to the watch. Im now set to the nearest location but its still off and it affects the tide, moon phase and the sunset/sunrise time. Not great. Does anyone has the same issue?

[@quicksilver727]

At first I had the same issue. But was able to do it. Nothing comes easy. You'll get through it.

[@mattbradley1716]

its incredibly comprehensive for the money but way more complicated than people need in all honesty. a simpler version of this with just the tide/moon/sunset screens, stop watch, count down timer and 5 alarms would be perfect - and solar powered to retain water resistance forever! all the step, activity, profiles, notifications etc ugghghhhhhh. nah nah nah.

The reason the chronograph is only accurate to one second is the memory in pixel display. The MIP uses most power when it changes. 1/100 second changes would drain the battery.
