The screws on the bezel fell out of my GW 7900B so I replaced them with real phillips flat head screws and it makes the watch look more heavy duty and eliminated the snagging caused by the fake screws that originally come in the watch. If you do this make sure the screws are very short, otherwise they will push the bezel up causing a gap between the bezel and LCD.

Do the screws actually help with shock protection?

@M_VERICK *I used to own this watch, now after discovering the gw9400 rangeman a couple years back I no longer own the 7900 but instead 2 custom gw9400 rangeman watches with carbon fiber bands. The rangeman is a much better watch.*

I was looking for a watch for everyday use, but specifically what spurred my interest in researching the world of digital watches, was because I wanted/needed something for when I rode my motorcycle. I ordered the GW7900B after consuming a ton of info on a bunch of casio models. It’s a great watch. I’ve used it for the tide chart to check for low tide to go look for sea glass down by the local beach head , and more recently I got caught in the rain on my bike and it can take being pelted and drenched with rain water going 40-60mph on the bike. Not to mention it was night time when this happened, and just a lift of the wrist I could see the whole watch face perfectly mid ride. Super happy. Thanks for this detailed review and feature run down. I didn’t know this and the other models were in movies and on Eminem’s wrist. Super cool. I live in the north east US and do not have any issues with the atomic syncing. Every night I keep it face down (upside down) by my window. It usually syncs up for the day a little after 12am.

No doubt the most comprehensive explanation on the tide function in addition to the other conventional ones. Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it happen.

The watch was released 14 years ago

I just bought this watch to replace my previous G-Shock that was passed repair. Personally I have no use for the moon and tide functions and would prefer the day displayed before the month but these are my only thoughts. I work in the aviation industry where I'm constantly keeping track of the time. I bought this watch for the following features: 1) The watch is tough and can take a battering. I stopped wearing watches as they normally only lasted a few months before the strap broke or fell off. My 1st G-Shock was the first watch to last years. 2) Accurate time keeping. Seeing as the phone sets itself via radio signal each night I know its accurate to the second. More than good enough for what I need. Not having to manually set the time is a boon! 3) Solar panel and rechargeable battery; no need to worry about battery dying. I work early and late shifts and use the light on my watch constantly: holding a folder in my left hand and being able to just rotate my arm to see the time in the dark is a brilliant feature as otherwise I'd have to put my folder down to press a button to get the light on. When I forget my watch at work I feel lost. It's then when i fully appreciate how useful a tool it is for me. Forgot to say that this watch is incredibly comfortable to wear: soft is a word that pops into my mind. Much more comfortable than my last G-Shock.

How about the front screws still there ?

I think the most impressive thing about this detailed tutorial is how still you held that piece within a square inch or so for 42 minutes without your hands and/or fingers cramping, blistering or falling off. 👌🙂

Dude, your videos are CRAZY good. CASIO should PAY YOUUUU !!!!! Edit: I bought this watch as my first G-shock ever ! It is perfect in almost every way. It is, imo, the best value for money G-shock. It looks so good and premium for how cheap it is. Thank you for making me fall in love with this watch !

Just picked up one of these watch, and it actually makes sense now. Reading the manual does not hold a candle to your video. Thanks for posting.

This video made me buy this watch. I've had it for 1,5 years now, and it's a great addition to any collection. Thank you for all of these videos, they never get old!

You are so helpful I don't know why Casio doesn't hire you to be a spokesman for their company you explain everything in detail you really helped a lot of people because some of those watches they could become confusing some people can do them with no problem and some people have a little trouble I have to call their support all the time because of the protract some of them are real tricky

Just bought one today along with a GBR200-1A9 both brand new and are on the way for a prices that would make anyone smile. Thankfully your videos are here to help once they hit my door. This channel has always been my go to for all my G-Shocks which is now up to 12 lol. Thank you for all the hard work in making these tutorials you have saved me and I am sure others from many hours of pain. Cheers

Fantastic Video - Thank You! I've had this watch for years and I didn't know half of the functions. My GW 7900 was flashing Low, so I searched and I found your video. You saved me from having to buy a new battery by simply solar charging it. Cheers!!!

Great tutorial!! I wanted the GW-7900 and bought it after I watched your video. The watch is dead on accurate. When I compare it to my Citizen AT4008-51E, both watches are exact! I suggest to anybody who wants GW-7900 to keep this video available, it is a lot better than using the tiny type instruction book provided with the watch. -You can also download the instructions from Casio. It is easier to read on a tablet.

Old but gold. I have W-S210H which is mostly this one on a budget model. Your tutorial worked fine for me, especially in the moon/tide department. Thanks.

Just bought this watch, very glad to find this video instead of having to read through the biggest watch user guide I've ever seen!

I ordered this on amazon - my first gshock ever and it arrived yesterday on my birthday. A very timely gift for me.🎉 Thanks for this video - this is my reference on buying the watch as I live in an island needing always to know the high tide and low tide for fishing and transportation. Greetings from Philippines!😁

Terrific! The best G-Shock expert on YT! Casio should be sending you free G-Shocks to keep, just so you review them.

Great vid. Bought mine in 2010 and it's still going strong! I also bought a strap adaptor from ali express and now using it with a nylon strap because the rubber ones are quite perishable.

Excellent. I have this watch, this was my 2nd G-shock (GW-7900B-1ER). Still use it frequently, this is the one I use for swimming.

Firstly: I can't thank you enough for all the work that you put into this. I'd imagine that you have a sense of how helpful it is. Now... This watch is so well thought out in its design. I don't really know exactly why I'm so attracted to it but I bought it. I could've gotten the PRW-3500T-7CR Or the GG-1000 Or the GG-B100-1A3 I don't know... This one is just calling me. Plus... I can always dive back in and pull something else out of the water... Especially since I only paid $87.88 for this one. IMO It may be the best valued G-Shock. The nickname for the GW7900- "B" Is the Night Vision. Guess "Day Vision" works for this one....? Thanks again.

Thanks for such a comprehensive instruction. I can't believe people pay for replacement screws. In the U.K consumer law means this should be a warranty issue, whatever Casio may claim- saying the watch case isn't included in a statutory guarantee isn't legal.Stand up for your rights!

Thank you so much! Made me feel great about having this watch.

This is a great video on the features of this watch. I also enjoyed the how the watch displays the moon and tidal information, and how this can be customized to my local area. This is an excellent video. I didn't realize I knew so little about these features. Thanks for the detailed information.

If you're in the coverage area you can try hanging the watch around something metal like a bike frame or something. And make sure that if you're putting it by a window at night to catch a signal that the window doesn't have a screen on it. And if you live outside the coverage area there are apps that emulate the radio signals on the play store or the apple store.
