GR-B100 - Bluetooth Gravitymaster G-Shock Review

This watch has all it should but... This is cased in China and I heard many copies had broken battery indicator! Even one which Polish YT reviewer got for review! I love and have 4 GShocks and I got GW A1000FC on my last birthday... And it is AWESOME!

[@matthews8576]

You have the best watch reviews and tutorials on you tube. Thank you

[@subha517]

its one of the best model of gravity master series what I do believe...GPW-1000 and GPW-2000 are very expensive whereas GA-1000 and GA-1100 is a kind of incomplete timepiece what I think no self adjusting being a duel sensor they have no tough solar technology similar to GG-1000 mudmaster but for this guy its an awesome piece within this price point its affordable to majority of watch lovers and what I do believe is GW-9400 and GR-B100 is a perfect match and combo of gears for wrist 🙂

[@WatchGeek]

I agree

[@jackiewang7725]

It would be a perfect aviation watch if it has triple sensors! The analog hands are important since the low temperature will white out the LCD. I got a blue one, but this green one is obviously more readable.

[@garryt2533]

So mine arrived today on the strength of this review. Pics and vids don't do this justice, it really is a serious looker in the flesh and feels premium. Being of the age I have to wear glasses for reading / computers etc, the dial on this is fantastic. Crystal clear to the point I don't need my glasses to use it, which is a big bonus imo. I did originally set it up via bluetooth (a doddle), but have had a play after, as I do prefer to use the buttons and learn the functions like Watch Geek does. Fortunately, my wrists are big enough, I don't suffer the issue of the strap end sticking up. I'm really struggling to find a downside to this watch - instantly my fave G-Shock (and I have a few inc the new carbon core (white one). Only criticism is maybe Casio's rrp / pricing structure. In the UK it's around £299, but often you'll find them at £160-£180. As good as the watch is, no way at £299 - just too much. I managed to get mine on a black Friday deal for £139 delivered. I would say around £160 max on these tbh.

Congrats and I'm glad you like it

Hi did somebody now where to find the replacement for the strap

[@tc6578]

Perhaps the longer strap was designed to allow fighter pilots to wear their Gravitymasters on the outside of their bomber jackets (with their leather gloves on too)! Too bad this strap would be way too long for my skinny 6.3" wrist. I currently rock a GW-7900 with no issue.

[@vatafakman]

Hi love your channel and your in depth reviews. So which would you recommend the rangeman or the gravitymaster? Im kinda torn between the triplesensor rangeman or this new released good looking bluetooth gravitymaster? The gravity master kinda looks better on my wrist and can be worn in a semiformal-formal environment while the rangeman kinda looks more of a sporty watch. What do you think?

[@WatchGeek]

Functions are something you will play with for the first month or so and after that you will just wear it as a regular watch, so I always advise on going with the watch you find better looking, in your case it seems you like the Gravitymaster more, so I would recommend that 😊 And thanks for watching the channel 😊👍

310 for the metal look, just because I have a lot of resin gshocks 😄

[@raksh9]

I want to get back into G Shocks but there are so many that I like, and they aren't cheap, either. The full metal square B5000 on black resin looks superb, but I'm wary of being able to read the negative display at a glance at night. This Gravitymaster looks very legible and has a digital display, and I'm wondering if it has the same kind of Bluetooth functions as the B5000 Square. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations?

[@WatchGeek]

Definitely go for a positive screen if readability is important to you. There is a regular square coming out in a few days that is all resin but uses the same module as the metal squares. I will be getting one and featuring it on the channel

[@raksh9]

@@WatchGeek Wow! That sounds just right. All the hardiness of the GW 5000 with the functionality of the full metal square. Looking forward to it. 😁

[@raksh9]

@@WatchGeek I ended up getting a GW-B5600 with gold positive display soon after my original question here, and a year later, got the GMW-B5000 with negative display and beautiful blue steel case. I wear the blue steel square all the time, and the resin square when I want something hardier and low profile. The negative display doesn't bother me, and if it's too dark to read the negative display, it's too dark for the positive display anyway. The backlight on both is very effective. I'm still very tempted to get a blue GRB100 Gravitymaster for the dual analogue/digital display, flight logging and overall fun. Thanks for producing such a great channel.

[@fordrscosworth]

does this only keep time accurate with BT or does it use the signal (multi band 6). i'd prefer the older tech tbf.

[@WatchGeek]

It's just Bluetooth

[@astrig3655]

gr-b100 or gwg-100/gsg-100? which is better?

[@WatchGeek]

Depends on where you live. Gwg is solar atomic so if you live within the range of the atomic towers you get a self charging and self adjusting watch. If you don't live within the range you might as well take the GSG as it is the same but lacks self adjusting. The GR-B will be self adjusting if you pair it to your phone, but unlike the first 2, you will have to change the battery as it's not solar

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

Great video, just subscribed! I've just purchased this watch. Could you tell me if this watch is definitely 6 band atomic signal enabled? If so, do I have to set up this feature or does it enable itself once my Bluetooth signal could be lost? Regards, Steve.

@@Zeus-kj7nn haha I just tried it and you're right, Casio did put Multiband in their pre-release press release, but the watch doesn't have it, so I'm guessing someone at Casio made a mistake. The problem is almost all websites copied that text and now you have many source saying it does have, but they just copied the wrong text from Casio.

If I am happy to have my phone around the watch all the time I'd buy a proper smart watch - making Gs into a mobile phone dependent device is a step away from what I buy G-Shock for!
