I didn't expect to sub to you, but your format of showing all the screens one by one sold me, I feel like other reviewers forget that we don't have the watch in front of us to play with, so showing us everything is super important.

Hey Mike, Very impressive honest review, and just the review I was looking for to share on my channel. I mostly post about G-Shocks, and my audience is very curious about the features and performance of this new smart-G. Your conclusion, yes I did watch the entire video, was perfectly messaged out there, and reading some of the comments does have some mix feelings. I would like to see the ‘Map’ side with more coverage, and to know if it can be used like the Garmin Fenix’s and navigate you anywhere? Will share this video with my viewers on my community page.... big thanks with a big thumbs for making this show... cheers ;)

[@tera4079]

I’ve been in love with gshocks all my life cuz of the style and endurance. Been using a gba400 for 7 years now and an older one before that I lost. Confused as to how the tech will keep up for a watch that you expect to last about a decade. That’s what’s keeping me from hitting the buy button.

[@PaulHo]

This is so intimidating. Like, I would NEVER live up to its capabilities and always be reminded of what a lazy fuck I am.

It's their first Wear OS watch. They wanted to make sure it had all the essentials, and would hold up. Next years model will have all the extras.

[@ikeyboy69]

Thank you for the description, came close to purchasing it, I thought it would have came with solar capability but it’s a no go and hopefully the next model has a larger battery and newer processor and solar panel of course!

[@Animesoul-jn5xs]

Just a question, I'm stuck between this watch, an buying the Fenix 6x solar power. Fenix 6x will be 3 too 400$ more, I know for a fact the Fenix will get me in an out of wooded areas I've never been before without a phone needed. Will this watch by itself, with no phone needed, track me in an out of wooded areas I've never been? Or possibly be off course, or lost, will this show me how too get back on course? Everything else I love about this watch, an how much cheaper it is. I'm just needing too know it's GPS capabilities too make my final choice. Thanks too anyone who helps me with this question.

[@Tajarski]

Cool, the wood branch have 65 bpm, realy cool.....

[@RevoltsRevelation]

I’m curious - I own the GSW-H1000 and I love it so far, but where did you get the processor information from? Casio didn’t mention the processor in any interview and you can’t see it in the inspector app either. There is also no info on the website. Besides that - everything is true, and yeah the 700 bucks really suck. I do hope they release the charging cable as a stand alone buy

[@asobalvarro6]

Hey, where may I buy this watch soecific model? I tried Amazon, but it doesnt show UP, just other models.

[@MijeshDeuja]

Traditional Gshock watches last more than 10 years. This watch will probably stop getting updates after 2 years max.

[@hassanger8128]

That's why it is a limited edition

[@ROrneli]

traditional g-shocks are watches, these are gadgets

[@miamijag]

Same with Garmin Fenix watches, after 2 years a new one and better comes along. The only watch that I want to last a lifetime is my mechanical ones.

[@henkdedikkesteen]

But no updates doesn't mean less functional... This watch could also last you 10 years if you just keep using it. I've been using a Gear S3 since its release, which was 5 years ago. Last update is 2 months ago. Still works like a charm

[@bigshockka2363]

Probably will be forgotten about by Google with their partnership with Samsung brewing.

[@jaron130]

Can you answer the call from watch like apple or galaxy or just can accept the call and use the phone to talk ?

[@jamieward2630]

I have a gbdh1000 and my only complaint in if you do more then just running it only registers as a run. You can change it is strava but on the watch a bike ride is saved as a run. And from what I’m gathering the battery doesn’t last as long on the gswh1000. Thoughts?

[@julio4349]

So do all the functions work with the Apple OS format like the weather app the watch has and phone

[@grahamburdis8769]

Why didn't they include Solar charging too ? or maybe casio sells these 1st then next year add solar to the next model for extra sales ! I own the GBD -H1000 and maybe not as "smart" but enough for me and with solar charging it never runs down.

[@RealLifeTech187]

Hey Mike from where did you get the information that this watch uses the Wear 3100? Because other sources using AIDA64, Device Info, CPU-Z & kernel readouts conclude that the SoC is rather the Exynos 7270 used in the Samsung Gear S3

Not a Wear OS fan....sadly I AM a G-Shock fan....this is not good, lolz. Not going to buy it unfortunately. Great review of course Mike!

[@adrian1229]

Hi Mike, hope your doing fine and well, i was watching again your video review on the GSW-H1000 G SHOCK, and thinking of buying this thing, since it has good features, I'm a fan of G SHOCK since i also have the Mud master GWG-1000, so the only problem there is the battery where in if the GPS is turned ON then it will radically go down in a day perhaps?? but without using the GPS, it might prolong the battery life since this is also SOLAR POWERED...which may take the battery like 2 weeks maybe?? the to charge it again?? you have a great review and on your verdict...yes, depends on who will use it and on what aspect the watch will be helpful to the user..in terms of variable exercises in it. (it is a little similar to the TIC-WATCH PRO also google IOS) but of course since this is a G-Shock the vulnerability of the watch is 100% just having a 50-50 decision before buying it...but its a good source of thinking on your good review. thanks much. and stay well

[@MatthewMalone]

Never had a smart watch but avid Gshock fan. How long do you think this model would be good for? If this was Black/orange I'd buy, but figure I'll wait as I assume smart watches get improved upon pretty quick. Also normally get solar shocks. Does this not have solar as it uses so much power that it wouldn't help?

[@rawhimasri]

I want to ask if there is a tune when you push the button and if i get a call there is a music or ringtone?

[@adrianf-g7j]

i had this watch before like 3 years ago sold it...the battery runs fast...thou i know its also SOLAR POWERED, but the battery runs down in only 2 days, or sometimes 1 day 1/2 then its already 1 bar left....its a good one but battery consumption is not really good.

[@marcosdiez8967]

Hello Mike! Dou you know of it's possible to losd a track (gpx for example) and follow it?

Love the watch. Bought it yesterday but sadly, most of the cool features don't work cuz I'm in CHINA and you need to VPN connection or at least install the VPN app into the watch to access all the cool features you mentioned. G-Shock app doesn't work and WEAR OS works partially.

I love G shock and I want a G shock smartwatch but I have one big problem outside of the main watch itself.They've been using that plastic ring that holds the band close to the wrist for years. I hope you know what I'm talking about. This plastic ring breaks after a number of years and then I can't find a replacement. I have one G shock in my room i can no longer use because that ring is broken. After pinning the band to the proper tightness, the end just flops around and then the watch falls off. I've tried ordering replacement bands but they can't be found. 3rd party bands are too big or too small. I've found i can use a rubber band but it's totally uncomfortable. Does anyone know how to solve that problem can get replacement plastic bands that fit before i get another one? Thanks!!!

Super cool smart watch. Yes the next version should have the solar panel integrated and a better Snapdragon processor. However, if you also own a Biolite stove, power bank or solar panel you’d be able to keep this H1000 charged in the wilderness no problem. I’ve had a G Shock Riseman for a decade and want a replacement BUT I’m gonna hold off to see if they do a 2.0 version of the H1000 in the next year.
