This week, as a result of you guys asking more, we take a look at the 6900 line of gshock watches, the most popular line Casio made.
From the basic DW-6900 to the solar G-6900 and solar atomic GW-6900. We even cover the big GDX6900, and the small GMDS6900. The unusual GLS-6900 and GLX-6900 that are a part of the G-Lide series are here as well and so are the Bluetooth models, the GB-6900 and the GBX6900.
With so many models available, this video should help you in understanding the differences and choosing the right for you.

Just bought one because I’m tired of looking at my phone for the time and date 😄

[@derekwalter4238]

It's funny cause that's always the excuse I hear for why people don't need watches these days. Screw 'em. More watches for us, I guess 🤷‍♂️

I'm watching this while disassembling one of my G-Shock from the same family. Nice timing! 🙏 Good video for everyone who are new to G-Shock!. 😎

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊. Which one are you disassembling, if it's not a secret 😁

[@marlonmierez516]

Oh yeah! I like G-Shock watches. I have a G-Shock watch in my room. I bought this watch in Sears a long time ago. G-Shock watch all the way!

[@clo2715]

Can't wait for the square g shock buying guide. I never realized how many people use g shock until a week ago when I was waiting in a hospital hallway and I must have seen almost 30 g shocks. All of the nurses, ambulance workers, people drawing your blood, security guards. 99% of the people working there had a g shock. Made me realize I need to get one because they just simply work no matter what.

Welcome to the club, but be careful, they tend to multiply somehow and before you know it, you have a dozen 😄😄

I absolutely love my GW-6900 as it's both functional and tastefully understated.

👏 bravo stari, stvarno ovo je jedini kanal koji gledam o GShock satovima. Koncizan i precizan, dosta dobrih informacija ali nisu dosadne i nedaviš sa suvišnim pričama. Prvo sam mislio da radiš za neki magazin o satovima. Svaka čast, samo tako nastavi i puno ti hvala.

[@RobertNES816]

Love my GW-6900! It's one of my favourite G Shocks next to the 5610.

[@drawebajo1750]

Thank You 4 your video! After I saw your video I bought Casio GLS-6900 and VERY happy with it!

[@ghazaliyaakob]

I'm going for the G-6900 because of the tough solar. thanks for the video.

[@SemperJayT]

THANKS!... REALLY GREAT VIDEO!!! 😀🤗😃 This was well done and full of very helpful information. I look forward to watching more of your content. 😁

[@ahmadaamer6]

I love the front light button! It is much better than the side light button. I recently got a DW6900PL. I have never used a front light button before this model.

[@TrickyCarp]

My first G-Shock was a DW-6900MS. All blacked out. Kinda hard to read but I still love it.

[@kamenlitchev]

Thank you for the video! Because of it, I now own a GW-6900 - the white one (GW-6900A-7). Bought the last "new" watch on online offer in my country :-) Really wanted the yellow GW-6900A but it was gone; and, to be honest, the white one looks really cool in person and I can always order yellow bezel and strap to swap to (yes, I will not have the red seconds indicator but it is fine for me).

[@brianfuller5868]

6900s rock and thanks for the video.

[@robertobernardez3923]

Gd- x6900-7. 4 years with this and still loving it. 🙂 Hope I can find online sellers of its button to replace it. The buttons whiteness turns yellowish or dirty white.

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

Fantastic video!

[@whatsonthewrist]

I like the looks of the GLX 6900 and GD-X6900. Great and helpful video. 👍

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks 😊

[@raybeer5336]

Thanks for your usual in-depth informative reviews, when I need to know anything pertaining to G Shocks I only have to scan for the yellow lettering. You gave the GW-6900 a special mention and clicking the Amazon link it's out of stock (discontinued). Looking elsewhere apart from the USA its not obtainable, even Japan. Have you come across any other suppliers that have this in their for-sale lists?

[@nivekardnahc6959]

i'm watching this video with my GW- 6900 BC , Nice video

Great explanation 👌🏽

[@muhammadwitjaksono3584]

Nice wrap up of 6900 series! I have dw6900bbn which basically black series of 6900 with nylon straps. It is a good watch but I have small wrist so it is not really comfortable to wear it as daily beater watch. Also the negative display is quite hard to see.

[@jpnjpnjpnjpn]

i like this cool shape & crazy color. especially quality is so good & price also.. i think 6900 is the best watch for me.

[@MsBricktop80]

I already covered the 7900 in the GW7900 review so you might check that out

I just start a restoration for my old 1998 dw 6900, the resin case has broke on the adjust button and the back holes just loose the screw patterns, i hope can repair then cause i want keep the original resin case, just left new light button and a new bezel

Thank you for this video, really appreciate for all the hard work. I dont remember the model number of that particular gshock which was worn by the lead actor in movie italyian job & coincidentally that was my first gshock which I bought in 1995 & then same model in 2005. Can you shed some light on the same.

[@WatchGeek]

I believe it was the DW 6600

[@TechTokOffical]

Can u do something explaining the different script on the backplates of the vsrious g shocks thru the years? Did they ever re-release the old orginal script during modern times? How many different variations are there?

[@redaxis7900]

Casio actually made a vintage ""variant"" on dw-6900 called dw-6900X which is just a flipped version of gls-6900. Making it more close to the dw-9052, as if casio does not already make a convoluted mess with the naming scheme of the 6900 line

[@benjaminbeltran1536]

Hi sir. Nice video and informative. I recently bought a DW 6900 SK-1. Is the adjust button designed to be recessed? While the other 3 buttons are protruding. Please do enlighten us.

[@WatchGeek]

Yes it's normal

[@stardomee]

my DW 6900 lasted me for 6 years until the battery died - I'll get a new one soon, this time I'll opt for a solar one and possibly atomic too ;-)

[@RobertNES816]

I wanna know why is it that the DW-6900 has a plastic buckle? It seems pointless to me since the buckle from the DW-5600 fits it just fine. Why would Casio skimp out on something like this?

G-Shock just released this month a NEO TOKYO design of this watch with a bunch of other too. It's black with a bit of neon style colouring. Supposed to be a nod to Akira.

I wore one to destruction it took 5 years of abuse hot water cold water sweat banging and overall just hard use and the case broke but if I had known that I could just buy another bezel that watch would be here today. What I mean by bezel broke or the case broke is that it disintegrated into pieces due to daily extreme changes in temperature and often damage and pressure it received and I repeat it lasted 5 years.

[@WatchGeek]

Yup, bezel and strap changes make it last a lifetime, here's mine after 12 years: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH3Hl2CgmJWaac0

[@Manny4356]

I'm personally not a 6900 fan because of the reason you mentioned about how half the watch is just decoration. It's all Rangeman and Squares for me. But I still enjoyed watching this video. :)

[@sambo12386]

It's not decoration with the GW-6900. The eyes have function.

the square g shocks are the classic design, but i prefer this shape over the square ones, it is so much more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. i also prefer the b640wb waaay more than the a164, a168 and other similar models. i like curves

[@nice8080]

I live in Australia, will the atomic time thing work here?

[@WatchGeek]

It shouldn't, but I had people reporting they managed to make it work using my "DIY ATOMIC AMPLIFIER" so lookup that video on my channel. Using that, you might get good results

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

the atomic clocks are located: 1 in the united states, 1 in china, 2 in europe and 2 in japan. so in order for the atomic g shock to work you need to be close to one of those locations? what if you live let’s say, in south america, oceania, or some island in the pacific ocean, etc. the atomic g-shock won’t work?

[@shaunharn1998]

If only this line all came with tough Solar, I’ll buy all of them

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

i love the shape of this watch, but i prefer the dw 6600 a lot more than the 6900. i dont like the 3 circles, i find it useless and they take half of the space of the screen. i much rather have a full screen like in the dw 6600

[@jasonanonuevo3982]

[@HitoriGnocchi]

DW-6900 has crooked modules. I wish casio would do a better job with basic QC. how hard is it to position the module properly?? casio is making end-users open up the back and readjusting the module themselves. Is this how Casio intends for their mistakes to be corrected by the end user? It is beyond disappointing to receive a crooked module from Japan-made g-shock.

[@WatchGeek]

I have yet to see a crooked module in a Casio watch, if we ignore the early screwback models of the 80's and early 90's

To me those eye indicators are wasted space. I don't need to see the settings on the watch all the time. Once I set them, why do I need indicators? I would much more prefer larger display and numbers. I'll stick with the 5600. No non sense design, Its got all you need in the simplest most functional form and design you can find. And it's much slimmer than the 6900.
