You would have to be INSANE to think this a “good” $500 watch. You are LITERALLY paying about $400 for a metal band, and a metal case - with a $100 module inside - that HAS ALREADY been marked up to double its worth simply cause it appeared in a “g shock” watch instead of just a “Casio watch”. For $500 you can get something so much nicer, and a watch that has an an actual fucking “time piece” inside it.

I have this watch. The clasp is my only minor complaint. This clasp does work well. The mechanism has been used for a long time on lower and upper end gshock and casio models. Just for this price point I wish they would step it up just a tad. Make it feel more sturdy or add a quick adjust. It works reliably but I would like to see a bit more.

My dad had that beautiful enthusiasm for technology and progress shared by many of The Nasa / Lunar Landing generation - the fundamentally progressive and positive idea that technology would lead us --- all of us - somewhere new and great ...that it would unify us all .... the inevitable triumph of all nerds ...... which was a profoundly more positive perspective than all that cold war atomic fear and heartbreak and cynicism ..... Dad was an accountant for a Mine and when they installed those insanely huge and insanely loud first computers at his office and he learned to use them, they gave him an Accutron watch ---- It was like staring into the mechanical heart of time itself .... digital tech as it emerged was a significant glimpse into the future of personal computers and Casio was a huge part of that too .... I think its easy to lose in the kitsche how meaningful led was in that way .... maybe mechanical watches are a kind of anchor between the person to the moment as it progressed into the future but digital tech was like something brought back from the future to the present .... anyway, reflecting on all this lately as I discovered TBs channel has been a great introspective trip, and that same love for watchs I had as a kid has been wound and is ticking again ----- very grateful for the experience. Great content and awesome insight Teddy - cheers

Anyone else a CAD/Solidworks/Creo user? I love the Casiooak but the bad lofted/surfaces shape between the 1/4/7/11-o'clock part of the bezel and the lug corners results in a bad crease that I'm sure many designers + engineers will see. It's there in the resin versions too, but the polished metal really makes it obvious if you pause at 5:48. But great video as always Teddy.

Yeah I also noticed this parts, and wasn't sure if I hate it or not. In renderings it probably didn't look like that, maybe it's also the strong light setup of this shooting. I think me bothered the most, that depending on the light, it looked soft on some corners and did a strong shadow on other corners, so that every corner looks different. Still not sure how I would have done or changed the surface, but it is a very interesting spot indeed.

Bought mine earlier this month, the GM-B2100BD and I am loving the dark stealth look. Bought direct from Casio and paid £399. One big gripe is the app "Casio Watches".. Would not install on my phone and none of the other apps listed this particualr make. So got myselfl a newer phone (cheap one) and installed "Casio Watches" and all went well on the first run, sadly on the second and subsequent runs, al the settings that appeared on the first run just don't appear. All I can do is check the manual.. I have contacted casio about this and 'fingers crossed' they will get it sorted.. Congrats to them for merging all the apps into the one, but with a serious bug like this, I can't say I am that impressed right now. The watch itself however, is definitely worth the money and I am very pleased with it, especially as it was marked up at £499.

Well it is a toy watch at this price point. Its made to troll with the Swiss watchmakers.

@@timetrialist The cost is irrelevant. It's value for money that matters. Apple is nothing but a logo. You can get a really cheap or very expensive android phone.. but try buying a cheap iOS phone. You could say why buy a watch at all when most of those that can afford the best . Spend most of their lives staring at a smartphone screen, which displays the time. I spend very little time staring at a phone screen.. I love walking and cycling.. I enjoy photography and flying my drone.. so spending the majority of my life with my face in a smartphone, is not for me.. So that's why I wear a watch. Old fashioned as it may seem to some.. a phone to me is mainly for CALLING people, when you have no access to a landline and a watch is for telling the time ..a camera is for taking photos.. etc etc.. Hey if the CASIO WATCHES app or any casio app had never existed and all settings had to be done manually.. I would have no complaints at all.. but if you are going to create an app.. then you should test it thoroughly, with all versions of OS and makes of watch you create. Sadly casio have produced too many apps and have now decided to merge them all into one, leading to problems, which I am sure they will eventually put right. For now I have a quality product which I got at a very reasonable price and to call a watch a toy and then mention Apple watches, tells me that far too many put brand name before quality / value for money.

Black dial with black indicies, black hour and minute hands and black digital display.... but it's G-Shock, for adventures people who want to know the time at a glance.... I don't understand this concept at all. I'm a G-Shock fan, I've owned several, but I don't understand why Casio loves making dark unreadable dials like this! There's nothing adventureous about such watches. Also, is this watch as blingy as the full metal square GMW-B5000D-1ER? Because I saw that one in person and I thought it looked so bad! It's so glossy polished and almost every edge is rounded, it gives the impression of a plastic watch dipped in chrome. Or like I'm not looking at the solid metal, but at a heavily applied glossy coating. Or like the case is poured in a mold instead of cnc machined. I love the idea of full metal G-Shocks, but I think this particular model is executed very very badly.

If you think that these watches are gimmicky, then it clearly means you don't get the G-SHOCK brand at all. They wouldn't sell so damn well, if the features they had were actually useless. Having a watch that does pretty much everything, whilst being tough enough to withstand damage that would destroy other watches, is pretty damn impressive. They're also really affordable, and they make models that suit almost everyone.

I think the point of Casioak mod community is that they like building the watch. It's like modding cars or building PCs. You can go buy a brand new one with better stats (maybe not for the PCs) for more money, but there is fun in building your own Casioak. For people who don't want to deal with it, I think this is a great choice - especially the bronze one looks awesome. Now, is it $600 awesome? Probably for some.

For the extra $250 or so (over a mod) you get solar power, blue tooth and Casio engineered OEM steel case and strap... I think it's fair. But then again I'm a biased purist and and if given a choice, will always pick stock over mods.

Great review as always, I was a little disappointed that you didn't have more to say about the quartz movement it's self. Can I assume that it's a higher quality quartz movement than you would find in the sub $100 Casio's? And is there actual metal used in the quartz movement rather than Essentially all plastic as you see in a lot of courts movements today?

sorry, but the price hike is riodiculous. From 100 to 550 just because of metal? Some cool mid level bracelets are going for 50 bucks or so on for many brands, why do casio think they can charge extra 300 or whatever? There is no value to buy the metal version

Silicon or Nato strap options would be really awesome with this watch and that's why i'm waiting before buy this watch.

Finally, they have lume indices on these Full Metal CasiOak. But what is beyond my understanding, it is almost unreadable digi display. Legibility is pretty bad. At the same price as GMW-B5000 (Full metal Square) which has great readable STN display. The CasiOak "normal" display is too weak. In some condition not readable at all. Besides of that, it is cool statement watch.

Great video, but Teddy, we all know we can get a Royal Oak-style bracelet for about $100 and it only takes you 15 min or so (lil longer if you’ve never done it) and have a custom watch. The Casioaks are $100-150, depending on the model, so you’re saving money. It’s not that complicated. I’ve sold a few and they fetched $400+
