    This is the best review on the GBD-H2000 from runners point of view. I think the final thought is spot on: at $400, this watch is only for G-Shocks fans. I have the first gen, and I don't think it worth $400. It is still a G-Shock and the solar charging is a plus to me. The pros/plus stop there. Hopefully their third or fourth iteration finally catch up with others at a bit lower price point (~$300). Thanks for the videos.

    I'm a big g-shock fan for over 30 years and i have 5 of them. But I'm not yet convinced by their connected watches. They have a long way to go to reach the level of Garmin, Polar etc. And their smartphone app is not good. For hiking etc I will continue to use my Polar H10 connected to strava or Polar Beat. The last G-shock i bought is a mudmaster GWG-2000-1A3ER and i love it!!!

    It's a step in the right direction, but it's not enough to tempt me. I hike and I also do martial arts. Both Polar and Corus have training profiles that suit what I do. Casio could have also taken some of the popular training profiles from Polar. Hopefully, these shortcomings will be addressed on the next version. I am a G-Shock fan, but Casio have not really upped their game in recent years, but chosen to be more of a fashion brand. The fitness and outdoors market seems to be an after thought. Thanks Dave for another great review. 👍🏻

    I am older and remember a time when Casino was the leader in cool digial watches. They were the first digital watch to include an automatic calendar function and the first to use a resin body to make lightweight watches. Casio also introduced one of the first watches that could display the time in many different time zones of the world and with features like recording temperature, atmospheric-pressure and altitude. In the later years, Casio's wristwatches were fitted with receivers to synchronise with radio towers around the world and GPS for timekeeping accuracy. It's abit sad how they have missed the mark on this watch compared to what their competitors are putting out given their impressive historical firsts.

    Trage die Uhr gerade am Arm und bin sehr zufrieden mit ihr. 🙂 Das schöne ist, dass man diese individuell etwas anpassen kann, was die Funktionen betrifft. Zudem sind die ONBOARD PROCESSORS eine Bereicherung gegegenüber anderen Watches. Die Processoren berechnen ON BOARD die Daten selbst ohne Smartphone in der Nähe. Qualitativ ist es etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, da sie sehr leicht und deshalb zerbrechlich wirkt, ist dennoch ein gutes Material das verbaut wurde und langlebig sein wird.

I am new to health watches, so don't know if the lack of being able to sync data to a 3rd party app will be a future issue. Perhaps the Casio app will be good enough. But given the price, do I want just good enough ??

    I'm a big gshock person myself and may replace my coros pace 2 with the gbd-200 (smaller and square, and $130) when the time comes. I'm not a big data guy, but It's only a matter of time before Casio's tech catches up. You should look at it like this. Garmin, coros, etc, are fitness "computers". With that being the primary focus. G shocks are watches first and a watch that will go anywhere and do anything. If you need a watch to do what it's supposed to in any condition in any circumstance, it's a very good option. Also, not that it matters to most, but Casio has a tremendous horological history. Pretty much all watch enthusiasts will have at least one g shock right next to their rolex's and (insert brand here) but they are highly respected in the watch community for good reason. Another point is that you can change the battery in gshocks and I can tell you from owning many, that they will last long enough for you to hand down to your kids and then they can beat the snot of it. I own a bunch and it's really incredible what Casio is able to do with the entire gshock line.

    Thanks for the review! My expectations are exactly explained in your review. As a die-hard G-shock fan, I reluctantly bought Garmin Instinct Solar 3 years ago or so instead of getting an Apple watch, as smartwatch wasn't really offered by G-shock back then. The Garmin Instinct really hit the spot for me in terms of my "dream G-shock", and then some. When I heard the 2nd generation of GBD-H was going to be announced, I had high hopes. But I guess I'll hold off for the next one, or the next one... Thank you, you saved me 400 bucks.

    Those characteristics you described here are all classic Casio G-Shock’s have, the shape, the buttons, the design philosophies; yet since this market had been developing by so many competitors for several years, the reluctant Casio is already facing the same situation like Kodak, Nokia or Blackberry did in their respective fields. I know many people still love G-Shock’s even old school Casio’s like I do, but in this particular sport watches territory, Casio still has a lot to do and learn from those past big names.

    If they included some hiking and some basic breadcrumb navigation theyd have a decent competitor to the Instinct, but it just lacks so many features for the same price I wouldnt be able to justify it over the Instinct series. Is nightly recharge comparable to Garmin's Body Battery? So far it's been fairly good at detecting illness, and usually pretty good at predicting when Im starting to run out of steam. Wake up in the morning with a 67? Probably going to crash before dinner regardless of how good I currently feel.

    It's not for me as a watch, but I can why some people would want it (though does it do anything significant that a Pace 2 or Polar Pacer doesn't). I am interested in where this is going for Polar, possibly they could have licensed their web app as well as just the analytics, and maybe even the phone app. They could do with some investment in getting the web app and phone more in line (I think polar flow app is the great, but I might not if I did everything on the phone app). Getting access to that would give Casio all the app links to strava etc as well as the detailed activity analysis tools. I'm also interested to see if anyone else will adopt Polar analytics rather than Garmin/Firstbeat's.

It never tracked correctly, my paces where off by a huge margin. I could not recommend these watches for actual sports tracking.

    To me the G-Shock is definitely not a sports watch despite the limited sports functionalities on this model. It is a tough watch though as I bought a G-Shock at least 25 years ago and it still works perfectly fine today, and it doesn't even have any scratches in the lens, or on the bezel, which would not have been the case with a plastic Garmin watch. I don't actually use the G-Shock anymore as I have a Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar and I truly love my Fenix 7 as it does absolutely everything I need it to do, plus a lot more, but it already (after less than 1 year) has some little nicks in the bezel where the coating has been scratched off and the titanium shows through. Still, I will not be considering getting the GBD-H2000 and I think you are right in saying that it is for very brand dedicated people and not for those who want a proper sports watch.

    @@neletg Reliability issues with Garmin hasn't been my experience over the years, I've still got one that's five years old and still kicking, albeit with less battery life than it used to have, it still goes a few days between charges. The upgrades I've done to newer devices have only been to get new features and more accurate data as newer tech comes out, plus a bit of a change of scenery on my arm every couple years never hurts. A small sample size, I know, but the Garmin devices I've had have been pretty solid in my experience.

    Not sure why you did not get an accurate heart beat data, but I get an accurate heart rate every time during a high intensity table tennis practise. The data checked up to this point if over 70 hours of workout. Perhaps it depends how tight the strap is. I think it should be firm but not too tight. Perhaps at the time of your stated measurement your wrist was sweaty to a point where the optical sensor could not acquire the consistent readings.

    How do you know you're getting accurate heart rate data? Do you wear a secondary device? Without the ability to export the data it's hard to say whether or not it's "bad". I can only speak from my experience. In my testing the watches are worn tight.

    At least with the Casio G-Shock you are getting a durable, comfortable watch. The Garmin has a lot of reliability complaints, constant firmware issues and they don't hold value very well. You can look at the rangeman GPR-B1000 for example, it was released in 2018 and there are very little existing complaints with the design and durability of the watch. Mostly every G-Shocks are designed for reliability over all the extra things you find with a Garmin. Garmin piggybacked off casio with the MIP displays.. not sure where Garmin snatches their displays from and if they're also reliable or low temp rated. Garmin is a bang for your buck but you can't compete with casios engineering. Like a Fossil watch vs a Seiko I would say.

I'm sure the fanboys will buy this and Casio will break even, let's be fair very few people who buy any sort of 'G' ever come close to testing the "20/20/20" features...

    Hi, you are very wrong about the sensors. Especially in heart rate. The Garmin and Amazfit models you gave are not real heart monitors.

  • @ChaseTheSummit

    Heart rate sensors have a lot of variables including the color of your skin, hair density, body fat percentage, etc... I wouldn't say my tests are "wrong" but they may differ from your testing since we are different humans. Garmin and Amazfit use the same optical sensor technology that G-Shock uses. In this video I'm comparing the optical sensor from the GBD-H2000 to an ECG sensor. ECG technology is far more accurate so it's what I use as a baseline of comparison. I review watches, that's kind of my thing if you look at my channel lol. This one was highly requested so I thought it was worth checking out. Thanks for watching.

    it misses the most important thing which is NAVIGATION !!! The watch which is supposed to be used by people who love doing things outdoor equipped with GPS and no navigation. It is just waste of potential, it is just silly strategy pushing away potential customers to competition like Garmin. G-Shocks are not cheap on the contrary they are pretty pricey and it is really hard to justify the expense when you are getting a watch with such a stupid limitation although I am convinced it is only the matter of software. I love the appearance of this watch but can't swallow lack of navigation forcing you to use you smartphone as navigation device instead. Shame on you CASIO.
