Today we'll be doing a short comparison between the Metal G-Shock lineups, starting with the top of the line MR-G, going thru the MT-G ( metal twisted G ) and all the way down to GST ( G-Steel ), just to see what you lose as you go down the price range. This will be a bit of a buying guide for GShock watches from luxury to regular, so let me know if you would like to see more lineups and models compared?
The reason I am doing this video is that I get a lot of emails asking me to explain the differences between some models.
I hope you enjoy :)

I bought the $800 MT-G in the shiny steel and black resin color. It looks so awesome in any lit room. Best watch ever.

That may be intentional as they have a women’s line called G-MS. Though, it’s priced more like the G-Steel series and not the MR-G

This is exactly what I was looking for. Would love to see more of the other model families in the Casio line up please. Thanks!!
Definitely like this format. Short, useful and high quality information. I've had G Shocks since the 90s and Casio watches since the 80s.

Great overview. I just got one of the last MRG-G1000DC-1ADR available, maybe the last one. The design is just outstanding, albeit not quite mainstream.
Thanks for the video mate, will be looking to add some G-Shock metal to my collection soon
thank you. this has been extremely useful as the g shock lineups are very difficult to navigate for a first-timer like me
Wish this video was around when i first started being interested in gshocks , but then i guess there simply was not the breadth of range in existence. Great job Ty!

Very useful to understand differences and select easier the needed watch! Thanks!
Excellent! Comprehensive and informative! Thank you.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I've been shopping the g-steel line so this was timely and informative. I would like to see more buying guides from you. The Casio catalog is massive, so it can be confusing to the average person. I also collect Timex and their catalog is seemingly infinite.

NOW I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE LINE-UPS ! THANKS ! YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC VOICE ! NICE TO HEARING !
Good video. Is interesting to note that the GW-5000U is a square G-Shock, made in Japan, full metal case with DLC screwback. Is the most expensive square (except for the MR-G square) yet is 10-20 times cheaper than a regular MR-G.
I have MTG-G1000. It's very cool watch!
Thankyou much. You've helped me narrow down my watch needs, price point and purchase options.
Awesome buying guide. Thanks!
👍 good buying guide video...! thank you
I love the quick buying guide
Good video to explain the different metal g-shocks. I'm not interested in plastic watches but the metal ones might be interesting
Sir,thank you so much for this video,it’s really helpful and so well explained everything,appreciate so much your effort 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙇🏻
This video is SO GOOD! Thank you!
Awesome vid very clear and informative
I’m binge-watching your videos today. What about the MTG-900? From what I gather, it’s been around since 2003 and was the first MTG and one of the first G Shocks to have solar/atomic features. It’s still in production after all these years even though it definitely looks like a watch from the early 2000’s. They sell enough of them where they gave them and update several years ago.
Great comparison. Very clear and informative. Thank you.

The casio factory in Thailand produces high quality solid watches as good as they produce in Japan, off course the materials on MRG are of a higher grade and standard, no doubt about that. I wouldn't touch any Metal G made in China or elsewhere, "Made in Thailand" G Shock watches are of a very high standard and quality. Off course "made in Japan" is first choice! But they're very pricey! But any Casio watch made in Thailand is solidly built and assembled.
Very very helpful 👌

Very nice explanation, great video, any idea why Casio are ditching all digital metal G shocks?? I'm still using my all digital 10 year old Casio MTG 930du, I don't like analogue watches, and I dont like the new B1000d 35th anniversary watch. I understand it's fine to use analogue in the MRG/MTG line ups, but Casio should definitely make an all digital round GST type watch. Any idea if Casio has any plans to release an All digital round GST anytime soon?
Very interesting.
Great video explaining these Casio watches have been enjoying viewing your videos and keep up the good work

Can you make a guide between ocw and mrg? I am wondering about the size , weight, and which factory they made.
Nice job comparing them. Although larger than my usual taste, the MR-G is my favorite and becomes an exception regarding size for me. It's bezel is beautiful. Good useful info and helpful. 👍

Great video, but noticed you say the GST-B100X comes with sapphire crystal glass, but it should be mineral crystal like all other cheaper GST models. Only the higher end models of the MR-G and MT-G lineup can have the sapphire glass.. I do still wonder if the carbon bezel would be more scratch resistant than the steel bezels, then again the titanium ones would be supreme for that..
buying guides... 👍
You make great videos
I just got an MTG-500. Any info about it?
I wear a g-steel. I have an 8-inch wrist. I'm 6 ft 3 in tall 225 lb and finally they make a watch that's very manly for someone my size. I love it.
Is PRW 60T made of fully metal?And different between it to the PRX 8000t?
could you do a tutorial on the gst b100 possibly?

You won't be disappointed! I own the MTG-B1000B-1A with the black metal and the craftsmanship is truly amazing. With the bluetooth connection, setting up and adjusting your watch settings are a snap.

I highly suggest getting Coolfire for charging your watch. It's safer than direct sunlight and doesn't overheat the watch battery. Getting your solar watch fully charged is easy with this.

Is there a "small" analog G-Shock? I want one with a ~40mm case and less than 50mm lug-to-lug and reasonable styling like the MTG or GST lines. Everything I'm finding is ~50mm and 55mm L2L. Yuge.
Does this include the Metal Twisted - Gravity 910DA "Spyman"??
Useful
What do prefer between Casio citizen and seiko???????
Where can I get a pyramid list of g shock hierarchy? from basic low-end model right up until the very very top notch the flagship ones

I think it’s G-Shock Masters of G and G-Steel (about equal in price but MoG is more of a performance/high durability watch while G-Steel is more of a luxury watch) MTG MR-G
Do the latest Gravitymaster, GWR-B1000X made in Yamagata factory as well?
Very informative. One request, affordable Swiss-made watches for your next content. Thanks
"so called school bags" - what kind of g-shock is it? Thanks
Good Morning!!! Tough Choice there All Good!!! :-)

Now that there is not gonna be atomic signal, which of the square g shocks do you like best? Which one gives me the most for the money in your opinion. Great video as always.
@WatchGeek
5 жыл бұрын
There is a new square model coming out with the Bluetooth module so I think that one will be the best option for people who are not within the range. I think it will be using the module from the latest steel squares but in regular case so it should keep the price down
@valjean3141

Remains to be seen whether the US will actually drop the atomic signal (as of Feb 2019). The proposal to defund this is sure to be challenged in Congress. Regardless, Bluetooth is a nice backup to have on your watch!

W is solar AND atomic, meaning it is self adjusting while the S is only self charging
Thanks for the vid.I get me some gst.for 299' Nice watcb.
I believe all g shock are tough these are just choices for people who have loads of cash to throw in the hobby😋
My GST-B100 made in japan bro
Don't forget to take a look at the GST-W130L (Atomic). It's like the GST-S310 but more classy.
