The Toughest Watch Under $100 In 2024 & The Ultimate Beater G-Shock: G-9000

What better way to kick off the new year than with a watch that's not only affordable, but also a historic icon and a horological innovator? Today I revisit an old friend, with a review of the G-Shock G-9000 watch, to explore why in 2024 it's still the toughest watch in its price range. In this video I share its positives and negatives, style, history, the evolution of its groundbreaking design, and how it changed the watch world forever. Before you buy the G-9000 or any G-Shock for that matter, make sure to watch this video to learn why it is truly the ultimate tough and affordable watch. Whether you're fighting off hordes of zombies in the city, deployed in the jungle and being hunted by predatory extraterrestrials, or timing an escape like the running man, this is the watch for you.

[@briangordon3278]

Great video! I’ve worn G-Shock watches since about 1995. My first ever purchase was a DW-6600 in Okinawa while in the Marines. It was also the watch on my wrist on 9/11 (I am a survivor) absolutely the toughest watches on the planet. Onward and upwards!

[@theurbangentry]

Wow, those are some profound connections to G-shock, I deeply respect that. Thank you for your service, and I am glad you are still with us. O&U! The very best of regards, TGV

[@monstermashed6266]

I've never liked the esthetics of the G shock ever since I first saw them I thought they looked cheap like something you would find in a cracker jacks box. Today they are a more sophisticated well made watch but they still retain that toyish look but I get it many do like them personally I am more of a Seiko or Citizen diver type watch

[@FiremanFrach]

Great review. I just received the G9000ms-1. Takes some getting used to, but I’m really liking this new addition to my G Shock collection. Cheers.

[@monstermashed6266]

Today's Gshock are acceptable in my opinion but in the past they just looked cheap like something out of a cracker jacks box

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Very interesting:) I’ve got a Mudman review coming this week comparing the my G9000 to the new GW-9500 Mudman ooooooo great minds eh!

[@Countess1975]

I'm sitting in a pottery painting class bored to tears waiting on my girlfriend. This video came just in time!

[@davescommonplacebook9374]

I've been there.

[@TheDoc7]

Pottery painting class ahahahahahahah

[@dropj3]

Ffs mate 😅. Hope you made it true and your girl is greatfull

[@ellerybice3787]

Do tears help with the pottery painting ceramic's permeability properties? 🤔

[@brentneuhart9824]

What's going on with the mustache

[@SgtHooch]

Good video. Bought a G-Shock at Army Post Exchange way back in mid-1990. I remember it only cost $20 and no tax (PX's don't collect tax). At the same time, a Lieutenant Colonel was buying an Omega Speedmaster for $2,500 (if I remember that correctly). He looked at my purchase and said, "Good watch. I've got one myself." And he was right. That watch survived two combat tours and being struck by a bowling ball. Best watch I own.

[@andrewwatts970]

A+ intro! Here’s to another year of make watch content that is actually fun and enjoyable and isn’t taking itself so serious

[@owenlaprath4135]

Just an FYI: This may shock you, but G-Shock was once seen as a bad omen by some. As a veteran from the eighties, when G-Shock was still a new thing, I can tell you that many Army people saw a G-Shock as a "wannabe" accessory. When we looked at the watch stand in the PX, some discussions started. The thought was, particularly amongst airborne troops and pilots, that if you needed a G-Shock that was tougher than any human body possibly could be, you were probably clumsy and bad at what you were doing, and if you managed to break a normal Casio, you were dead anyway! The plain and simple Casio digitals were the go-to watch for most of my buddies at the time, believe it or not! Memories are short in general, so you may not find this opinion anymore, but it was there once.

[@BurnieMET13]

I've had a G9000 Mudman for a few years and can confirm JaysandKays' offers strap adapters for it. I find it pushes the lug-to-lug (60mm) too wide though. Ps - the coincidence that this video came out at the beginning of this year's Dakar Rally, where it was used originally by the Toyota Land Cruiser factory team, is too good not to mention. Cheers!

[@Seiber1993]

I love this G Shock Model. I have had mine since 2011, and it is still going strong after 3 batteries and one strap replacement. It's been treated how G Shocks are meant to be treated. I absolutely adore this amazing timepiece. I've had more than 1 Timex watch not last me half that amount of time to my Casios. I love Casio for the quality to price comparison. They are unmatched! When I need a watch when I know a job is going to get rough I always reach for a Casio, plain and simple.

[@LeadPhalanx-zv6wx]

You need to work on your movie poster choices.. I would recommend that rather than choose from movie popularity you choose from pictographic attractiveness, now this may vary drastically depending on the movie topic but in some cases that would mean that there would be a bit of a complexity to the poster. So in my case I would be looking for a kind of beauty or some kind of a descriptive complexity / Take the movie poster for the great movie Chinatown (1974) The poster is fairly simple yet it presents a clear artistic style to it while picturing the movie jonra.. Cheers

[@theurbangentry]

Interesting comment. I tend to just choose them on rather a basic premise on the meaning (the movie that is) and the significance they have in my life. Many are from special times, places, or experiences with loved ones, some just because of family and friends involved in them and therefore are special. Sometimes a movie can represent a whole era, season or special time, so when I look at them I remember those moments, might sound a bit strange, but hey it works for me. I certainly will consider you way of looking at them, I love the Chinatown poster btw, great movie. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@LeadPhalanx-zv6wx]

@@theurbangentry Those are certainly good reasons I agree with you All the best to you

[@andersboisen9179]

YES THE FIRST MUDMAN IS STILL THE BEST 2 STOPWATCH THAT GOES TO 1000 HOURS THAT IS ALMOST 6 WEEKS I GOT MINE IN 2006 AND THE BATTERY LASTED 14 YEARS OOOHHH THAT WAS A LONG TIME BUT THEN I ALMOST NEVER USED THE BACKLIGHT.

[@derekwalter4238]

WHY ARE WE YELLING??

[@M82RKY]

Too big, the gw5610 is the best!!!!

[@jchanisko1]

Possibly the most entertaining intro yet, and there have been some great ones! I thought that Casio had discontinued the Mudman a few years ago, but then I saw the stealth version at a shopping mall during the holidays, and now this. I'm still hoping they bring back a basic black, non-special edition DW-6600 but I most likely will be adding this to the collection soon...

[@bobbressi5414]

I bought that particular G shock on close out at Wallmart for 19 dollars. I wear it at my job and have beaten the hell out of it. The resin case is a little beat up but the watch has never failed me. I also love the functionality. It is nice to have the timer or chronograph running while the time remains displayed up top.

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

I got mine at Walmart for $35. Every time I find myself in a Walmart, I have to check the case. Lol

[@DaveMGmovies]

Happy New Year fella. Your videos continue to entertain and long may it continue. I think I missed the G-shock train sometime in the early 80s so haven't enjoyed their innovations to date. Old dog, new tricks.

[@creato938]

As always a very good episode, it's indeed a very cool G-Shock and your cross section with movies is impeccable as always.

[@Jamie-yz5hs]

Hi bro. I just bought one yesterday after watching your videos 😅. G-9000-1 is really nice watches. I used to have Gulfman G9100, for me this Mudman is better in the reliability segment. I nearly bought the MS version, but i love this model better. Thank you so much for this video of yours.

[@adk7962]

“Tiny arms darling, very tiny arms…” 😂 long live Hugo!🦖. And nothing says sophisticated badass like a pinky ring, hazmat suit, and shotgun. And always love learning something new. Had no idea water resistance and mud resistance were two different things. 👍🏼

[@shatvikz1333]

Still got mine been about 13 years and it still works to this very day. One of my best watches that i'll never forget, it has been through everything

[@DisplayKeesBack]

Once again, a great show. Man, I love G-shocks. I'm saving up for a bigger watch purchase, so this goes on the list for later (I mean I have to buy something for my summer vacations, right?). Yes, I know, I'm making up reasons to buy new watches.

[@farangtravels3956]

What gives with the long words that nobody understands 😮😂

[@Watchingwristwatches]

Great production, and it’s always nice to see Hugo! I’ve never taken an interest in G-Shock, but you are gradually convincing me of their resilient charms 😁

[@j_mitch_85]

This falls perfectly in-line with my recent experience with the DW-290. I wasn't expecting how much I'd come to appreciate its toughness and functionality (coming from the garmin world as an endurance athlete). I suppose I'll explore the mudmaster as a simple level-up when the times comes. Also wanted to say thank you for all of your videos. I started watching before the holidays and haven't stopped - part of my morning coffee nowadays! Fantastic stuff - wishing you good health & happiness in the new year my friend.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Had one. Loved it. The buttons were a bit tough to use but generally a pretty great watch! Prosperity and good fortune to you in the new year TGV!

[@Kittyland123]

Hello TGV, I hope that your holiday break went well! I hope that this year does not go like your background suggests! In this video to be honest I was more interested in the weapons and chemical suit / background than the watch itself! lol! Maybe?! Out of interest was that a real shotgun and 1911 handgun you had? I’m just curious if it is since I’m highly into firearms. Although the shotgun looked plasticky and the handgun looked more like an airgun based on the markings, but I could be very mistaken. I love how you insert the magazine into the handgun and pump the shotgun for effect! The watch is a very interesting and practical for sure and will be taking all of the wrist time if we will go into the apocalypse environment. Hopefully not in the near future!! I hope that your health recovers quickly! Unfortunately! My family and I got sick with Covid again during the holiday break but at least we are mostly recovered! Your watch and gun enthusiast, (Nick L) 😷🔫⏱️👀⏱️🗡️🇮🇹🇬🇧😬👏🏻🦖

[@faye89]

just got this today and its fits my 6.5 inch wrist really well!

[@ChrisAlvarezAlvarezImaging]

Didn't know you were into Airsoft also TGV!

[@mustafasudag929]

My watch, G9000 mudman; love it.

[@MrBacchus18]

Nice G, I owned the g9000 with a negative display (15:56) and got rid of it for that reason, just illegible without strong light. The Casio mission impossible watch works just as well imo

[@stratkat9714]

Another home run, TGV! I have been on the hunt for a G-Shock / Mudman (beater-watch) and this checks all the boxes at a phenomenal price. Great analysis of this watch and another purchase for my modest collection - Thank you!

[@deusvult7559]

Perfect timing...my old g shock has been retired for a month or so and I can no longer bare being without one. Watched this vid and was convinced that this one is THE one. Ordered for 83. shipped to my door. Can't wait...Thanks again TGV.

[@blacktalon7030]

review of MTG or MRG would be interesting

[@GoAvs69420]

Another banger, though I really only like maybe 3 of the g shock designs, (5600/6900/casioak) you have me second guessing my own preferences again!

[@officerswatch9033]

Having worn a G-shock in AFG as a member of the military I can say its the most common watch amongst armed forces. A lot of people like the Garmin watches but they were being tracked, nothing can replace the G-shock in terms of actual milspec.

[@greenjihad3390]

Which were the G-Shock models yourself and other AFGers worked with?

[@squirelova1815]

Hmmm...very interesting "tactical" consideration you mentioned there concerning the tracking of Garmin watches. Would you be so kind as to provide us with any Details, if you could, as to How or why a Garmin watch might become a "Liability" during "Operations" or in general, Please? Just asking for a friend of course.

[@jroobz]

love the g shock content. i just purchased a 5600 Fox Fire. might go for a gulfman later this year. you're absolutely right, very underappreciated g shock series

[@INTERSECONDASTELLA]

Caro Tristano. I have been subscribed to your videos since many years my dear friend, you are my favourite youtuber. When possible, please may I ask you some help? I have a 6.5 inch wrist. I am looking for a daily day, date, month watch to wear in the office (no leather), my dream watch is patek phillip 3940. Thank you for your time, I wish you all the best for the new year.

[@theurbangentry]

I am deeply honored by your kind words and support, thank you! You have the same wrist as me, and I would love to help. Have you seen the AP Day Date Moonphase Ref. 22589 I used to own?

May just have to be my first g shock

[@1973HST]

I have a GW 200 Frogman that I got in 2002 and that has spent over a week at the bottom of the ocean and found its way back to me through a person I’d met several years earlier on the other side of the world (lost the watch diving in Honduras, was found by an instructor I’d met several years prior in Thailand and she returned it to me). G Shocks really are the toughest watches in the world. Also, I once asked an ex Navy Seal acquaintance what they wore in the teams, and he replied “whatever we wanted. Pretty much everybody wears a G Shock.”

[@atkuzmanov]

I love it when G-Shocks have positive normal (non-dot matrix) displays with different markers that move around even in normal time-keeping. Makes it sooo much more interesting and bedazzling to look at, it's magical! Just wish it had a full-metal case with screw back, standard lugs or at least standard spring bars, and that it was tough solar! Great video and looking good TGV! Have a great start of the new year! ( :

[@AleksiJoensuu]

I got the G-9000 because of the low temp LCD. I stayed overnight in around -20 celsius and found my square G with a blank screen in the morning.

[@jouwenlee7829]

This has been on my wish list for a long time since it came out for its long duration timer and mud-resist functions. But didn’t keep long in possession for its infamous hard buttons and not comfortable wear. In the same line of master of G series in that era, I fall in love with the lesser known gulfman, G9100 and solar version GW9110. It has similar size with full titanium metal parts including screws, give moon and tide data. The non solar G9100 also has the option for -5s countdown before starting the timer; optional one-time or repeat countdown timer; lesser alarms (3) but it can be set as daily, monthly, a date of every month or specific date & month to goes off, quirky. The other recently older G-Shock I fell in love with, is the GD350. Best easy to read digital non-MIP screen, vibration modes, quick access countdown timer and though come in larger, could be close to ‘MI ‘ watch yet comfortable to wear. Cool to see 100 world city names in full display. Hope you can check those out too. Thanks for another cool videos.

[@dyslexicbien]

The most underrated gshock

[@Theseikopath]

Absolute tank of a watch that i personally wore during my military service as an infantryman; truly holds up to the name "mudman"

[@phantomdrac]

Ah yes the “Toyota Rally” i have the “snake eyes” ver. truly a great piece however in this day and age SOLAR is also king.. see G-Shock “Scorpion”….truly a legendary piece as well 🦇

[@friedpork_owl]

Ref. Watcheschecked- “these conditions, you won’t survive but your watch will.” Sounds to me like the poor man’s Patek. I’m just holding it for the next generation but for real! Cheers

[@Mrb00st]

I've had a G9300-1 Mudman as one of my 2 work watches since 2013, it's never missed a beat wity daily use in the mechanics shop environment. Re; all the gadgets on the new Mudmasters (like GWG-B1000) - only features the G9000 is really missing are tough solar and mb6 time adjustment, which the Japanese market gw9300 and the hugely popular gw9400 rangeman offer. All the other stuff are just gadgets. I do like the super illuminator led light on the gw9400 but EL works great.

[@alexm2113]

G-Shocks never cease to amaze me. The sheer selection at all price points and of course the legendary toughness. If there's ever a situation where I need the absolute most reliable watch on my wrist I always reach for my G-Shock!

[@Free.PaIestine]

Where can I buy this watch

[@alvinmick218]

When you absolutely have to have the most rugged, dependable, accurate, and affordable timepiece; get a watch built by G Shock.

[@GuyVanderAa]

A literal do anything watch. I just love how strong and apocalypse proof these watches are. 😎💪

[@madaxe606]

My GW-9400 Rangeman was my daily duty watch for most of my 23yrs as a First Responder. It was subjected to some extraordinary abuse, and held up like an absolute champ through all of it. From bodily fluids to Hazmat responses, hundreds of car extrications - being pranged off of twisted autobody frames over and over again, and a fair few treks through some terrain where we would have been good and lost without the compass feature. I can't count the number of times I used it for timing medical interventions using both the timer and stopwatch. If that watch could talk it'd have some stories to tell. The hype around G-Shocks is very, very real.

[@S-Ltd1000]

You had a gw9400 for 23 years?🤔

[@mbnv99234]

The GW9400 has only been around since around 2011. Nowhere near 23 years old.

[@ronniehill8213]

[@Sailor_McNemo]

Red is actually the first color of the spectrum to disappear as a diver descends, usually around 20 ft. This is actually a boon for the Spearfishing crowd who do not want to draw attention to themselves when approaching their quarry - which more often than not are red colorized themselves for camouflage reasons. Love the review, thanks!

[@ricradoineds]

Hugo looks in good heath this year! This is a tooltastic master piece, built to last that mud resist protection is really cool! The color combo pushers and case really makes a great zombie/sci-fi movie watch (James Cameron approved). Really nice video and great production. Best regards!

[@rebolorto]

Dear TGV may I comment your statement about the red colour of the buttons underwater ? Actually the red colour is on of the first to disappear because these wavelength are absorbed by water from the first meters, that’s why orange and yellow are a little bit better. Great video

[@zacharyg2966]

My wife absorbed this into her collection. And now I'm buying it again. Loved the video. Thanks TGV!

I have had my G9000 for about 2 years now. Absolutely love it. Not too big nor too small. It's perfect for me.

[@jimmccaig7946]

Had mine for ten years, wore it to death, Cop, cycling, running, swimming. Feel the need for a new one now. A classic. Great show 👍

[@archstanton664]

20:43 Actually, the GWG-B1000 is so much smaller than the original Mudmaster (GWG-1000) with more precise readings. So much smaller that I've actually seen forums where wearers don't like it. I simply don't care for the amount of chrome-like featuring it has.

[@promaja2]

15:45 isn't the G-9000-3V also a military-themed version of this model?

[@cedomilvukajlovic8106]

Hello I need your professional help. I want to buy mudmaster. Not because I need it I just like it. I found two of them. GG-B100-1A3ER ( 465 € ) and GG-B100Y-1AER ( 435 € ). Can you please tell me where is the difference betwen those two? or is any? Thank you very much.

[@squirelova1815]

"Holy Schnikes!" No frickin' way! I just TODAY 'caved in' and bought a G900-1v on sale for $79 from Eli Adams Jewelers after researching it out of sheer curiosity and finding out about its alleged chemical resistance! It's the perfect Household chores or "work around the Car" and car wash-detailing watch, me thinks. Are you doing this to me on purpose just to make me Happy or something!? Unreal timing Sir TGV, unreal. Plus, i just ordered Jays and Kays Adapters for the Requirement of a NATO strap for such an Intrepid but Splendid beauty such as this. I suppose I'll be losing sleep again over obsessing over what NATO color design this time, again. Carry on then...and Thank YOU.

[@tcwhite0104]

Great video and watch but I'll keep my ProTrek PRT-B50 SERIES over this thing anyday. Even my PRW-2500, the simply have more to offer in case of a catastrophic event.

[@Mububban23]

I bought my son the Mudman for his birthday. The buttons are extremely difficult to press. I see you also struggled pressing them at 9:08 so it's not just his one! You feel like you're trying to crush it to get the buttons to work which isn't ideal for accurate timing starts and stops. Just something to note.

[@THX-C]

Glad you put a MudMan back in the collection. So this must be replacing the DW-5600 that replaced your old G-9000 that replaced your even older DW-5600. That’s way more than full circle!

[@anthonylake7581]

What do you do after you got your grail watch? I didn't know when I got it that the Tudor Ranger I bought in January 2023 would become my grail watch, but it is. No other watch can ever do it for me like my Ranger. However, I'm still alive and I still love watches. It turns out that what I did next was buy a G-Shock, thanks to this video! I had never paid much attention to G-Shock before, but this video sparked my interest. I did some research of various models, picked one: GGB100-1A9, then waited a couple of weeks to avoid making an impulse purchase that I might end up regretting. After two weeks, I still wanted it, found one at a discount price from an official dealer and was lucky enough to be able to afford it, so I pulled the trigger. I'm now a happy G-Shock owner. For me, a new watch seems to scratch the itch for about a year, so January 2025, I'll probably be in for something else. It will be an Oris Big Crown. I really like those.

[@squirelova1815]

Interesting intro. Nothing some good 'ole "Angel Dust" or Flakka in the water supply or Chem Trailed couldn't accomplish. Fentanyl has surely already created Zombie city neighborhoods.

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

[@CJL_One_more_watch]

I've worn that Mudman since the summer of 08. I felt like a GI Joe wearing it. It was the only watch I wore during my studies abroad. Trusted wake up clock for job interviews.The watch I wore when I shipped through the Antarctic Ocean, and silent companion in the loneliness of many airports. Never Failed. And I got two watches for my new born kids because... Is a live time lucky token.

[@LV-42617]

I had three G-9000, sold them all, the mud resist buttons are a pain in the ass to push, especially for one who make use often of the stopwatch and timer. I go with the G-7900 instead, same functions, bigger digits plus tide/moon graph and it's robustness is legendary. Overall its much better than the G-9000 but also a lot larger.

[@zeppelinboys]

i dunno if anyone here has read GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), but there's a whole subplot about a student who desperately wants a G-Shock (no idea what model, GTO is from 90s/00s), and yada yada yada to this day when I hear the words 'G-Shock' I immediate think of GTO. lol. Also GTO is a great manga for anyone interested in that stuff. its not Moe garbage but a well written story about an ex-biker gangster turned teacher who helps his students out in a million funny ways, all the while trying to loose his virginity! lmao, I love Onizuka Sensei!

[@Kiddomike]

I love the new GW-9500 Mudman! ❤

[@LobsterRavioli]

Can’t beat a G-Shock if you tried. I still have my G100, it’s still going strong, after almost 14 years this April, and still on the original battery. I still wear it religiously, ten years working in a high security prison, and now district security. Best 50 dollars I’ve ever spent.

[@Chrissepisje]

Entertaining video from many angles, but sadly it's about a G-shock. In my less than humble opinion, you omit the biggest negative of all: Gshocks are excruciatingly ugly watches. I wouldn't be caught dead with one if they were the last timekeepers on earth. All things being equal, I'd rather be hit by friendly fire than wear a G-shock. Yuck. I appreciate the technology for what it is, but I'll take my chances with an F91W if the end is nigh and we must all go digital for some strange reason. That said, I do hope to simply go out wearing Cartier, if it ever comes to that. Best go out in style, right? To each their own, of course. so no offense meant.

For a long time I’ve been planning to buy a G-Shock, however, my F91W so far has never let me down. I’ve been using it as my beater watch, and even took it with me on a 12m dive. Therefore, I see no need to upgrade to a G-Shock. I really think a normal f91w also is almost unbreakable

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

I love my dw5600e and it’s probably the only G-shock I’ll ever wear although the solar and multiband version of it is making me doubt a bit. The rest of the models are just ridiculously big and gaudy looking imho.

[@morgan97475]

Even in the military, I never had a G-Shock. A simple Casio or Timex worked well enough. But I do see the appeal of the G-Shocks.

[@FiremanFrach]

Is this really ISO rated? I thought the Frogman was the only G-Shock that was ISO rated.

[@zillsburyy1]

do you like YEAR OF THE DRAGON ? its a fun 80's cop movie about the mafia in chinatown. its filmed with lots of style!

[@Tempusfuget]

I’m actually watching robocop 1 and 2 and before I watched your video I was checking out the new Casio rangemaster. 😂

I've had my GBD200- 1 almost a year now I use it for work and it's faultless. The display is second to none! I don't use the Bluetooth features of alarm I have them all turned off I just wanted a clear screen to tell the time and now I'm 50+ it's ideal! The only negative is It's not solar? Nice Stoney pal.

I understand why people like G Shocks but they're not for me. They're too loud & shouty and unnecessarily bulbous. I'm a Casio man though. I collect the slim retro digitals & I believe in real conditions in the real world the F-91W is as tough as any G Shock. The tests people do to find a G Shock's limits have little to do with what the average wearer needs. Running over one in a 40 tonne truck is all well and good but if you had it on your wrist at the time I think you'd be more concerned about your arm rather than your watch. My F-91W is my daily wearer. I've accidentally dropped in on hard surfaces and nothing happens. It's so slim and snug to my writ that I just don't catch it on anything so it's suffered no dings or dents but I'm confident that if I did, it'd be fine. I think Casio play on the toughness of the G Shock and the macho image and that's ok. People like what they like but I believe the F-91W is as robust as most people need a watch to be. It's still the greatest watch in the world in my humble opinion.

Those blue rubber gloves are too thin to withstand actual zombie scratches. Hugo will have to bite your head off sooner or later with these toy gloves. Interesting watch. A quick goole search reveals that it's only available at Hugo money prices way beyong € 100,-. I'll skip that one and hit the zombies in the teeth with my Willard. 😂

Hope you do a review on the GW5000U. Pretty expensive at $300 but that’s my pick for the best G Shock!

[@Zotrax1946]

I own 3 g Shocks, wears them at work. The dw290 is also on that rotation- it might as well be a g shock.. yet I’m glad it is not. I dig that it has it’s own distinction, and unique design. In short, G Shock God Tier💪🏼, me big strong man😂

[@Andromahlius]

That introduction was the sh1t. (I'm not sorry and completely unapologetic about daring t(o) issue the year's worst pun in january.)

[@amitanivfx]

I had the G9000 but unfortunately it fell from a study table face downwards and can u believe it: The inside lcd glass shattered completely with that small fall. I immediately complained to Casio India and they replaced the inner module but then I lost interest in this model as (of course) if such a small fall can shatter the insides then what use is a G-shock? So shifted to a different model. But great review ❤. I’ve had many Gshock watches and never did they break so I’m still a G-shock collector nonetheless 😊

[@greenjihad3390]

I cannot agree. I highly doubt many of your viewers will encounter or have to be in some sort of situation that will involve being exposed to mud. In my opinion, any of the other elements you point out the Mudman is designed to protect against are really trivial for most people. This watch would make sense for someone like a cop, fireman or member of the military but not necessarily civilians. I'll stick with my DW-5600.

[@BURP39R]

New here. Watch and zombie fan. Nobody in their right mind is going out like Walter White. You will cook with awful field of vision. No point avoiding disease if you end up getting eaten running like a Telly Tubby. But silly aside, a great video. Clearly a fan of film and watch. Love it 👌

[@samaantree]

I accidentally had my seiko save the ocean turtle in the washing machine in a 40degree C 1.5hour cycle. It came out with 2 small scratches only, I later buffed out. I swear by its toughness now 😅👍🏿

[@camillobelliride3733]

Hallo Tristano nice to see you Good New 2024 interesting information about watch for everyday, go forwad on this way, a Warm Goodbye Stai Bene stay well Un Caloroso Saluto da Roma Italia Ciao

[@HRM.H]

Hi TGV, i had a interesting idea. How about a video comparing the servicing experience by several brands. (Think brands like Seiko, Hamilton, Tudor or Nomos) I think it could be really cool to see the different kind of experiences and price points. If you ever end up making a video on a topic like this, make sure to do it all anonimous, as brands tend to give social media influencers a favorable treatment.

[@watchpickle2k]

lovely mustache... but for the love of god Icant see the appeal of Captain Willard. It looks as generic as all the other 50 Seiko diver models :(

[@js-fv7yx]

Did you make this in 2020? Wtf is going on lol thanks for the upload anyway love the g9000. Respect!

[@jean-sebastienturgeon5861]

It’s nice, but I prefer my king G (GX56BB-1). I’ve had it for a few years now and I love it.
