Save your pennies guys and get the gwg1000 or 2000. Honestly, no contest.

[@MrElchav]

I found the beginning a bit silly unless you did for laughs? The location indicator wont work if it cannot connect to the app! It gets your current location via the phones GPS so the app has to be open and within range.

[@muzza9338]

The ggb100 is a beast... The person who said they couldn't get the battery changed must be on LSD... A 10 year old could change it.. seriously, what a laugh. My current battery has been going strong now for nearly 3 years! Admittedly neither the compass nor altimeter get used very often but all other functions are, including the light... Best value muddy by far... Team one up with a set of Jays and Kays adaptors and either a black bracelet or black and grey Camo NATO and it's almost the perfect everyday watch. Not to mention the price isn't gonna send ya broke.... Mate, how can you even compare this monster to that of a smart watch? Get me a bucket..... Loving all things G

[@m1980]

A deal breaker for me is the lack of solar function. Everytime you need to change the battery you need to open it which isn't ideal for water-resistance. The reflection on the mineral glass since there's no ar coating is also a deal breaker. Just my opinion.

[@jpillera]

I've been wearing the GG B100 for 1.5 years now. - every day Original battery and not a scratch. In other words, mineral glass holds up fine.

[@wildaboutwatches]

Great to hear thank you for watching and commenting

Hi Tony...I have the cheaper bb100 and it's a great watch I use without fear of damaging...in the garden or out in the woods. Though I still lust after the 2000 just for its looks alone! I do wish it had same feature as the bb100 if so I would buy it. In my mind its a lot of cash for less features...perhaps one day I might pull the trigger...cheers

[@merkeet]

The fact that a GWG-1000 or 2000 has tough solar makes them superior over a GG-B100.

[@buddahmong]

Greatings.Not in all circumstances, just like MB6 is not allways better that Bluetooth 😉 its all depends where on Planet you live. You may live in paces where many months you have just little sunlight and no MB6 coverage. Its all depeds…

[@whatsstefon]

I don’t think that this one feature makes it superior.

[@tennbones]

Not true actually.

[@aresmaximus1]

More functionality for the buck on cheaper watch so no fancy things ...practical things!

[@treyfisse8593]

Solar charging not worth double the price sorry but that’s dumb. You need a screwdriver to change the battery. Far from difficult

[@dwreinard]

I'm looking to ditch my gg1000 to get the gwg2000 just because of the battery. Once a year it dies and the watch just sits until I take it in for replacement. And it's getting harder to find someone to change it. I love the watch but I'm losing interest in it I battery is always dead.

[@wildaboutwatches]

You're the second person who has stated this issue regarding batteries and how difficult it is to replace them someone else in comments said the same. Its annoying its so difficult they make it harder by having straps covering the base plate screws. The gwg 2000 is a fab watch you'll love it. I got 10% off my order as advertised on fb lol I think they offering 15% if shop around.

[@dwreinard]

@@wildaboutwatches no doubt they're all great watches its just weird we have to choose between pros and cons. I'd pay even more if there was a Mudmaster that was like a gwg2000 but with their fully loaded module. I think that's what all of us desire. For now we have to choose solar or more module features. I'm a simple person so solar and atomic clock sync will be more appreciated. Thank you for your videos.

[@TonyHobbs]

@@dwreinard I'd agree the solar and atomic I'd plenty. Really the other bits on b100 are marketing excess of limited use most on our phones these days. The direction thing kinda useful but very limited in real world us. The 2000 really trumps the b100 but we have to give all a chance and show folks different things play the algorithm game a bit too on KZbin lol but it's actually fun and I enjoy keeping it fun light and just bit different from others. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@xpusostomos]

Why don't you change the battery yourself

[@dwreinard]

@@xpusostomos still. Gotta order a battery and replace it. Meanwhile the watch still sits. Or I can go solar and be done with it.

You can easly scratch gwg 2000 bezel and steel components or dirt get under a bezel and you need to clean it and changing/taking it off is pain in the a** on gwg 2000 not like in gwg 1000 where you just take it off. That my point of view😉Btw, Great videos and greatings from Poland 🇵🇱

Saw one of these when I was picking up my Tissot PRX today and I very nearly chose the G-shock. It’s a watch I need to have in my collection. As a life long G-Shock collector this really blew my mind. It feels solid and almost too nice to take mountain biking. I have a few nice watches if anyone fancies a swap.

I think the gg b100s return to location feature depends on being connected to your phone on Bluetooth, so if you ever need that feature just use your phone.

Bad experience with "solar" i had a coworker very expensive solar that is basically trash now. I had a solar as well that i had to change the entire movement because it was totalled. So yeah, i bought a gg baby... Absolutely no regrets.

[@aresmaximus1]

Before we start solar ....esential ..all this briz briz functions and sat com takes lot of juice if you want a serious survival watch than solar is a must! Following no radio signal it has blue tooth link to the phone to correct himself paramount! So the phone is dead the watch follows?. The navigation is bothered by the main hour and minutes arm displays if down at 06 hundred you can't move them...its clear this is their first attempt to sell somthing like this then the developed more through gwg 1000 which is not that good and then they got better quality with gwg 2000 ....so yep this is crap.

[@tomistrawberry1299]

I have Mudmaster and Rangeman gpr-b1000-1er and the Rangeman is absolutely great! I dont need a cellphone For navigation because The rangeman uses GPS satellites, not phone. And it has a wery large battery capasity with powerful solar charging. I cant even remember when i charged it last time ..maybe 2-3 months ago.

[@InkAndBrass]

I now own both of these watches. I’ve changed the battery on my GGB100 twice, and it’s not difficult, nor has it caused harm to the watch. A precision Phillips screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, and a gentle cleaning and re-lubing of the gasket, and it’s done in 15 minutes and it’s good to go for two more years. I am however very happy that I won’t have to change my GWG2000 battery for at least a decade hopefully.

Hello yup I much prefer the GWG 2000 to the ggb100 which I sent back. I find the GWG band ok what I'd suggest you try is rather than do up so blood stops to hand drop it back one notch. I find it grips and holds perfectly well with that band looser than I'd normally wear a watch. Give it a crack. I probably ought to look for fun at swapping mudmaster band I need Jay's n kays I think might be worth looking later in year. I did a video on the gravity master and that too didn't tickle my fancy.
