HOW TOUGH is tough solar? HOW DRIVEN is eco-drive? G Shock GW5000U and Citizen BN0220 field test

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

That Citizen watch is beautiful.

[@superfast30]

The GW5000 can truly be my one and only watch if I had to sell off all of my other watches. Timeless design, superb build quality and only someone in the know would realize how special it is!

[@wildtimeadventures]

The stealth aspect of knowing that you have a truly special Japanese built G Shock that looks like any other DW5600 is my favourite aspect!

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

I have both. Can't lose with either👍

[@mikeyblueeyes8449]

Me aswell mate have both an citizen military field eco drive and a g shock 5610 U solar and I think they are both great for various reasons:)

[@janetboxall9708]

That was a real ‘feel good’ Wristwatch Adventure! Looks like a great time was had by all. Once again a very creative introduction!

[@wildtimeadventures]

Thank you kind lady!

[@fossilimprint2954]

Top notch review. Enjoyed the footage of your trip. Subscribed !

[@J0hnny8ravo]

Your adventure was no more than a playground for those two beasts. Cheers!

Part of my business is servicing agriculture equipment, which involves a lot of impact on my gear from chemicals, water and general unintentional contact. I've been using the BN0220 in the field for about a month and it's held up great. Extremely legible, accurate and light as a feather. Hands down the watch I'd grab if I needed one that is ready for literally anything while looking fantastic. Underrated gem, especially since they're selling for far below MSRP most places.

[@wildtimeadventures]

Great to hear that it holds up in a real-world context… far more than just a ‘tribute’ watch with no real utility 👍🏻🙌🏼

[@PomLimey]

A review and a travelogue all in one! Really enjoyable.

[@wildtimeadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

A Mudmaster might be a more suitable watch for your trip. It would also provide you with a backup compass and other features like weather alert. The buttons are more suitable for use with gloves of course. Thanks for the video.

[@wildtimeadventures]

Hey, thanks for watching. I’ve been thinking about a Mudmaster for some time - think I’ll have to feature one soon.

[@oceanzu6585]

@@wildtimeadventures Hi, friend. I had a Casio mud master. However, i must say that it's not as good as other abc watches when comes the actual functions. The altitude function requires manual calibration every day and you have to check your phone to find a precision altitude reading for different places. I would say Garmin watch would be better suited for outdoor use with their built-in GPS map calibration function. Or a g shock range man GPS, if you can find one...

[@ahha6304]

This is one of the real "beautifully made watch video" I've ever watch

[@wildtimeadventures]

Thank you for the kind words - I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@georgerodriguez8893]

Awesome video, I have to go pick me up one of those promasters now. I have a different model but the one you have here is super cool looking!

[@wildtimeadventures]

Do it - you won’t regret it I assure you. And thanks for the kind feedback 👍🏻

[@dunderhay9169]

Nice video 👍 . Back in the 80s, I did the Snowdon Horseshoe wearing a 1920s Longines, it survived OK, but I made sure not to knock it on anything!

[@wildtimeadventures]

Oof! Yes, that would’ve been fairly heartbreaking! Thanks for checking the video out 👍🏻😁

[@benironside1264]

My outdoor adventure watch is also the range man 9400. Abit more expensive than my 5610 but I feel like I’m ready for anything when wearing it

[@JimKinkade]

Nice. 👍 Nothing better than hiking the old fashioned way without the smart gadgets. But I will say that I enjoy the ABC sensors on my Casios, mainly to track elevation gain.

[@wildtimeadventures]

I did have a Rangeman for a minute and I did enjoy it - I have to say. Just tooooo big!

[@oceanzu6585]

Have the same citizen watch. Unfortunately, the movement stops working after 2 months after the purchase. Took citizen Canada 2 and half months to fix it cause the movement is backordered. it works fine now but I wouldn't trust it as much as my other watch. 😑

[@wildtimeadventures]

Hmmmm that is disappointing to hear… I’ve had mine about 7 months with no issues thus far - let’s hope it stays that way!

[@EagleTrue]

Why did the Apple watches stop working ? Is is because of the temperature ?

[@wildtimeadventures]

The constant freezing rain led the batteries in the Apply watches to dump I think

[@EagleTrue]

@@wildtimeadventures thanks !

[@equaliser2265]

Any shadow of a doubt!!!!

[@BvsMAcosh]

I hoped this is a song about it.

[@JJRuiz-pn2cq]

Gw5000u the best,,,the número one,, the original casio gshock

[@wildtimeadventures]

It’s one for the true connoisseur - those ‘in the know’

[@burnikshrapnel]

What a great argument against smartwatches 😂

[@robedmunds7163]

I always say I walked Yr Wyddfa leaving out I caught the train up and walked down😂

[@wildtimeadventures]

Hey, what they don’t know etc… 😂

[@ae70gts]

viewing a watch review from guy that takes a dive watch to the mountain . why dont you just tell us that you just love the citizen ? which by the way has second hand alignment issues .

[@kennybacchus1488]

How. Tough. Is. Tough. Solar. Now. Driven. Is. Eco. Drive. ? G. Shock

[@wildtimeadventures]

Thanks for your comment

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

A leisurely stroll is not a test worthy of these watches.
