Thanks very much for your in depth description of the GSW H1000. You did a great job. I would like to buy it because I am looking for a watch that can read heart rate and I’m a regular mountain biker. I did use a normal heart rate monitor watch and after a couple of fall, the watch broke. This is something I’m looking for and I’m a fan of GS watch.

Enjoyed the review, interesting watch, but have gone from smart watches to "sport" watches 4 years ago (now on a fenix 6x pro). I'm super happy with the fenix and smart watches in general will never be an option for me due to the battery life.

Yep, cool watch... bummer battery life.

Great video as usual, Dave! For the sleep on WearOS, I highly recommend the Sleep as Android. It has everything that you can possibly want with smart alarms and all other bells and whistles. However when compared with to a non-WearOS watch that 1 day battery life is abysmal. My Fenix 6x makes 8 days with more than an hour of GPS + 1h of workout a day and 24h HR. And when compared with my Solar powered Mudmaster G-shock, that 1 day is unacceptable... And especially now with the Samsung-picking-up-the-WearOS scenario developing in the background, this watch will be definitely a collectors-only piece. Which is a real shame though, as I truly like the aesthetics.

For a watch of this caliber and price, no "Solar" means no sale for me. I've had a solar-powered Casio ProTrek for seven years and have, as yet, never needed to change the CTL1616 battery. Why Casio would omit this solar feature in this flagship model is hard to understand . . .

@ChaseTheSummit

2 жыл бұрын

I'd guess they didn't include solar because this watch is so power hungry with Wear OS that it wouldn't be able to put a dent in the power consumption. It would also add to the already high price... But that's just me speculating!

I already have a Garmin Fenix and a TicWatch Pro. I would love to have both features in one watch. the Suunto 7 and this one do not quite do everything but this one comes the closest. We are so frustratingly close.

Can you use the touch screen under water? No Can it have a battery replacement in years to come? Maybe? But probably unlikely. You'd need to contact G-SHOCK. How accurate is the altimeter vs none gps g shocks? Very similar Do you know if the gps is always on like a phone but not tracking your distance? GPS is turned off when not in use. Wear OS has an indicator on the watchface that tells you when it's in use. Does the map display footpath? It does if you're in the process of recording a GPS activity or have chosen a destination to navigate to. Can you buy a new charger if it breaks? I can't seem to find them on Amazon but I'm sure G-SHOCK would sell you one. mud proof? Yes Can you use the gps without having a phone with you? Yes
