I wouldn't at all be opposed to Casio coming up with a really rugged watch without G-Shock looks-itis. That being said, before G-Shock, personality in watches WAS fairly bland. Adding personality: yes. Dogmatically adding the same personality each time, not so much.

You craft your Sponsor Message segments just as creatively as the rest of your videos. I never skip them, unlike with other KZreadrs. Cheers!

Great insight on this new watch! I'm a bit of a GShock fan and I've been waiting for a fully fledged GShock smartwatch. However, as you've explained, this couldn't be a worse time for them to lauch this.

I would love to get this G-Shock from an aesthetics view point but the lack of what I feel are modern features, along with that price? A non starter in my eyes.

Whoa, I like the subtle reference to Star Trek by throwing in the "Kelvin timeline" reference!

Mad respect Micheal.. You had zero fear of exposing manufacturer company design and features flaws . Honest review.. Thank you

Thanks for the usual in depth and down to earth review. I did not know about the wear OS collaboration with Samsung or the older processor in the G shock. The sports reviews I had seen did not mention those two points. I was considering changing my Polar v800 for a G shock but will wait. So thanks again for your help.

Review is great as always, but extra props for the Sponsor spot, it was funny and awesome 😄😂

I am going on Day 6 of my second battery test and the Casio wearable still has seven fully battery bars...

Thanks for the awesome video, Mr. Mobile! I've been on the lookout for watches with the snapdragon 4100 myself and I only know of one option which was the new ticwatch. Do you know of any others that carry the same internals?

Thanks for this, as usual, well made and enjoyable review. The only innovation the Casio brings, which I'd like to see on far more Wear OS devices, is 20 bar/ATM water resistance. Even better if someone brings out a 10ATM watch with a speaker.

Great review, I'm really intrigued by the Samsung/Google collaboration. They did it of course on the Galaxy Nexus and there is talk of Samsung supplying the the next Pixel chipset. Lastly is just me or does android 12 look to be heavily influenced by OneUI? Should be an interesting year. 😁

Excellent review! Love it

6:47 "Hot single trekkies near you looking to Khan" 😆😆 that's the best reference yet.

Hi, will the watch still keep track of distance even with no GPS reception or if the GPS signal is lost while training?

the casio f91w that my dad wore in college is the one that i wear today. other than a couple of battery changes, it works like a champ

Great review Michael 👏

What is that red, orange, and yellow watch face app you are using on the Gsw H-1000?

My dad gave me his old DW-5600 in 1990. I loved that watch and wore it all the time. The outer shell had long since crumbled away, but I continued to wear it. I never changed the battery in it and it lasted until 2011. The 20+ year battery life was great. I ended up retiring that watch when the battery died and got the Japan exclusive GW-5000 which has the nice screw back design of my beloved DW-5600, but also has solar charging and radio reception for automatic timekeeping. I don't plan on ever replacing this watch.

I didn't catch the premier. But you know me, always excited when you talk about smart watches.

If this Shock had the solar charge thingy wow been great. They had on another semi smart/fitness watch release last year.

Another awesome video, sir! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: smartwatches don’t interest me even a bit and I will probably never buy one but your smartwatch videos are so great that I watch them anyway! And enjoy them! No wonder if you sometimes stress a bit about video publishing times when you always make these masterpieces! Your videos are always one of the best among tech videos. But a word or two about the watch too: as a boy I owned some Casio watches in the 1980’s. They really wouldn’t break. Even in use of wild kid like I used to be. The only reason to get new one was the looks. I just wanted new one although the old one was still working. I bet they are still working somewhere. I’ve lost them all. I also had a watch that was also calculator. It had rubber buttons for every number and other function under display. I can’t remember if it was Casio or what.

Thank you for your honesty and detailed clarity!

the music hits different, where to find this masterpiece of a sound?

Hey Michael, awesome review as always. Btw what’s that watch at 8:10

Great video. I'm a big watch fan, and Casio and G-Shock hold a special place in my heart, but I'm not on board with smart watches in general just yet. I'll hold out until technology is both faster and cheaper before pulling the trigger on one.

I wish there were more watches in the segment my current watch (the Fossil Hybrid HR) is in: E-ink display, needs at least two glances to distinguish it from an analog watch, and amazing battery life.

I really just want Casio to take one of their smaller designs and turn it into the equivalent of what Huawei and Samsung has with their cheap trackers. It just has to be a fitness tracker with notifications. It doesn't have to be smart or run WearOS.

Does it support the Moment Setter App or are the apps functions now managed on the watch itself? Because right now it looks like this functionality was not ported over.

A great point about the WearOS changes coming in the Fall. I find myself in that limbo now.

I bought a simpler world timezone version of a casio once as I was travelling a lot those days. Its been all over with me. It’s now 12 years old and still has battery. Amazing battery life for the regular casio’s. Will probably not get this one though, I wouldn’t take it on travels as its just another thing to charge.

Thanks Michael! I trust your review well, i even got a gorgeous Garnin Vivomove Luxe because of your review. Its my daily driver now!

Been wearing it for a week now. I love mine. But, I've given up on trying to keep up with the latest and greatest smartwatch tech. I just want a watch first, smartwatch second. I do wish they'd gone with updated silicon and better battery life, tho I do like the timepiece only function. I also have an Omega Speedy for my mechanical fix, or whenever I need to dress things up a bit. If you're someone who cares about paying for stuff with your watch or storing music (I always have my phone on me anyways), then this may not be for you. But, if you appreciate timepieces over smart functions, then you may also love this one.

The narration in these videos are great!

I missed this Kenmore, also sad it's not the smart watch we were waiting for, so, may I ask for a comparison with the Amazfit T-Rex ? Great video Mister, as always liked!

Great video. Im a bit torn between one of these new or a as new, but used GPR B1000 Rangeman. I think I've just gone off the smart watch a bit after seeing this video. I really don't understand why they've discontinued the GPR B1000 Rangeman. It makes no sense. I'm not a G Shock collector. In face I haven't worn a watch since about 93. I just love what the Rangeman can do & I like the look of it.

Still gotta say it.

I bought a G-shock in my teenage years I think in '94 and touted 7 years of battery life. But as you said it lasted 10. I think I might get a battery replacement for it since retro is cool again and it's not as over the top as newer models.

my dad bought me a g shock in 2012 back when i was in year 10. The only time i had to replace the battery was 2 weeks ago. I still use it for work and gym. these watches are solid.

it's even fun to watch advertising with Mr. Mobile. greetings from Turkey.

Thank you Michael Fisher for your honesty and for these awesome vids.

I really miss my Gshock .. this is what all Gshock fans been waiting for .. finally a smart Gshock 🤩 but the price tag 🤔🤔🤔

I've owned my GX56 BB for 5 years now it's still a solid watch. Wore it everyday and it's seen everything from water, mud, sand and even maple syrup. Case is pretty beat up but the face has no scratches. I'll continue using this watch until the strap breaks

thank you for the review.

I keep being tempted by smartwatches and never pulling the trigger. While price, battery life, etc., have been issues for me the biggest is simultaneous paring to multiple phones. It's a niche demand likely mostly limited to those of us who deal with a second mobile for on-call at work but with so many BT headsets handling it I keep holding out hope.

Do you know if connecting this via USB makes it also transfer data? I am looking for a cool watch to try and port Asteroid OS to - this would be an amazing candidate.

Can you use the touch screen under water? Can it have a battery replacement in years to come? How accurate is the altimeter vs none gps g shocks? Do you know if the gps is always on like a phone but not tracking your distance? Does the map display footpath? Can you buy a new charger if it breaks? mud proof? Can you use the gps without having a phone with you?

Another great video. Even though I’m deeply submerged into the Apple ecosystem, I really enjoy watching news of other OS’s and form factors. Every time I see an Android powered watch, I’m envious because while the Apple Watch is amazing in so many ways, being a man of a “certain age”, I can’t read the damned thing and long for a radar scope sized monstrosity like the one in your review, but with IOS. I do with that as part of these reviews you’d mention what functions would and would not work with an iPhone in case I wanted to dip my toe into the other side.
