Haha. Spoken like a true G-Shock aficionado! Made me genuinely lol. The slippery slope is really guys. Cheers man!

Thanks for the great review! I will probably visit a local G-Shock store tomorrow and take a look at the GGB100.

Nice to see this followup on the GGB-100. I posted a comment a couple months ago on your original GGB100 video that I had just purchased my GGB-100, and I was surprised as to how much I liked it as my first G-Shock. That's only been confirmed in the months since. While I have a collection of mechanical watches (mostly Sinn) that I also wear, the GGB-100 is the watch that goes back on when I "switch out". I've come to like it much more than I ever thought I would. Nice to see that your initial impressions, 8 months on, have held up, too.

@@JeffreyBarranco420 It's working just fine. My GGB-100-3A is keeping great time, and if it varies a little bit, you can sync it to the G-Shock app to keep it right on the money. It's a fantastic watch and the one that made me into a big fan of G-Shock. Once the battery needs replacement, I'll just get it replaced. That'll probably take, what, 10 minutes? It's no "big deal". IMHO, life's too short for guys to get worked up about having to simply change a battery every 3 or 4 years. Instead, focus on what's *really important:* your health, your friends and family, your career & finances and what provides _true meaning and fulfillment_ in your life. All this other stuff is "small stuff". I don't sweat "the small stuff"; life's too short. 😉 Make the most of every day. Cheers!

Thanks for the review. I just sent my GG-B100 to Casio to get battery changed since no jewler wanted to touch it since it has gaskets everywhere. I purchased mine on Mar 2020, so battery with all sensors on and using the app a few times a week during a deployment, lasted about a year and a half. Was a bit disappointed on that, but love everything else on it. I am currently expecting my GWG-2000 to arrive by mail, super excited to get it. Thanks again and keep up the good work 🤙

Buddyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! I heard my name :)))))) thank you for being a cool guy and giving me shoutout, and even more coming from you makes it really special :) Brilliant video and always enjoy how you cover your topics, and this is one huge topic and you done a grand job :)) Just recapping on the Location side, this really should be an easy update as it doesn't involve the GG-B100, as really the GG-B100 is just a clever trigger to tell your device to recored the location, and after the device is telling the GG-B100 where to point using a bearing, so CASIO you really could do this :)) You really shouldn't let rechargeable lithium batteries run flat, they don't like it so much, and it'll be interesting how long it take so you can use the ABC side... so for me you showed just how after those 6 months of running in the dark it goes into charge, so if you were pushing buttons and using the ABC, how much shorter would it run? The GG-B100 runs for up to 2yrs with the use they mention in the manual, but if you're not a heavy user I could see this running 3yrs+ I'm looking at maybe 1.5yrs as I do use the functions often, and so far my GG-B100 has replaced a few G-Shocks, and I have to be honest, it's kind of kicked my GW-9400 away too, but as that's such a gem of a G-Shock, it won't be flipped, it's got the lume which is amazing at night :) I have to share this on my community page, and I will be doing another video that this video will get a mention, as it ties in with my video, and of course you have the GWG-1000 and I don't LML :-P Thanks again for the shoutout my friend and am just pleased you thought my GG-B100 video was worth a mention :) Big 12 thumbs from me my friend, and cheers for sharing your thoughts and knowledge to help so many :)

An excellent review and pounts to consider for potential purchasers. Im visually disabled and the legibility of the analogue display, plus the Bluetooth connectivity is a real draw. I have a black Armour Jacket on the way to look at, hopefully, the negative display doesnt sink it. There is a new gray version out with a positive display but i am not so keen on the colour scheme of the rest of the watch. As you mentioned, potential purchasers may have looked at the GWG-1000 and GWG-2000 (I did, the latter on sale for £419 from H. Samuals at the moment) but the GG-B100 made the most sense to me, cheaper, a battery every 2-3 years plenty of tech for well under £300.

I waited a couple of years before I got mine so I did not have to pay the $400. Glad I did got for $300. Shipped

Hi there ... I think I screwed in the crown way too much and now I can't pull it out.. is there any way to make it come out?😭

Last week I picked up a GGB 100 second hand. It is absolutely in mint condition and looks like it is never been worn. But yesterday suddenly all the sensor functions stopped working. No compass, baro, altitude bluetooth and temperature. Just an empty screen on those functions. Also the watch hands were stuck in place. On the digital display the time was still going on like there was no problem. Even the light did not work. I gave it 2 hours to maybe somehow come back to live, but not such luck. So I thought it was a battery problem and wanted to replace the battery. When I came to the last step to open the battery compartment the watch suddenly was resetting itself to factory settings and all seems fine again. I really really love this watch and wanted it for a year. I am the happiest man now I own one, but this adventure made me a bit scared about the durability. I keep asking myself what on earth happened that the watch was killing all the major functions. For now all seems fine, but I am to scarred to touch a single button. I think it may have been me touching the reset combo on the inside of the watch that made it turn back to live. Anyone knows a way to do that reset without opening the watch? It was a nerve racking adventure to say the least. Is the bluetooth reset combo doing the same as the internal reset you have to do after switching the battery?

Hey Klaas... Interesting to read your comment, and for it to be in the state you said to suddenly happen, it's the first I've heard of something like this. Now the watch would reset when the battery is replaced, or when it has been AC reset on the module, but there is a reset option outside of the watch. So in home time, 2sec press on the adjustment button to enter the adjustment side which will have the city scrolling pass... then press again the adjustment button and it'll move to the second part of adjustment with regards to time and date... the seconds will be flashing... now this is again in two parts... with the seconds flashing press the compass button and continue to hold down and it'll firstly reset the Bluetooth (Pair CLR) but keeping it pressed and it'll come up with RESET... then release and press the adjustment button to exit. Now the watch is completely back to factory reset with Bluetooth cleared too. If the watch looks new, then it hasn't been dropped hard, and if it's not showing the battery icon in the display, then the battery is good. Would be an idea to send a message to CASIO and ask their thoughts. If the watch was working perfectly when it landed, then soon after stopped fully functioning with what you mentioned, it could be that the battery might not be seated correctly. Would be interesting to know how old the watch is, as if they've changed the battery themselves, they mightv'e not clicked the battery brace down, and maybe with the connection with the battery, there's some contacts that aren't firm, so only the display is working. So now it has been reset from inside the module, all is working 100% Keep an eye on it for the next few days, if it does it again take a photo and send to the seller asking for a return, just easier that way. Hope that helps buddy ;)

He told me he did not use the watch much and never changed the battery. It was one of my questions before buying the watch. Never thought I would have to open it within the first week hahaha. But all the tutorials you guys make on youtube makes it a lot easier to do, because you see what you can expect. It never showed me the battery icon, so it can not be an empty battery. As you said, it could be the battery was never placed fully seated and me trying to unclip it made it seat correctly. I was trying to figure out the best way to unclip it when I suddenly heard it ticking again. So I don't exactly know for sure what made it tick again. I will keep a close eye on it and when it happens again I will make some pictures and ask Casio, because that would be a major problem with my watch. Next time I will first try the factory reset in the menu. I did see that one in your tutorial (yes I watched it completely) But I thought that would only reset the Bluetooth connection.

Honestly the square and GW-9400 are very different watches and the GW is a good size for people with less chunky wrists. Then you get tough solar, compass, temp, baro, sun rise /set and they aren't too pricey! Really depends what you'll use if for but definitely keep the GW-9400 in mind. I wear mine a lot right now. The carbon fiber strap I upgraded it with is a nice mod too...

Just bought today the GGB 100 after sold Apple Watch 7

The whole issue is that the battery change to maintain its water and mud resist sealing capabilities will need to go to Casio. It won’t be cheap at least £40 or £50. Buy them all. I got square solar G, steel full metal G and 9400 Blackout.

Very good question. There is not a lot between the two to be honest. There is no legibility issue with either and the digital cluster is pretty much the same size, as is the 'font' size. They are both a negative display also. I think if you are concerned on this specific matter either model is a good watch to go for as it has a large face. The GA-2100 blackout for example has a small digital cluster and some people struggle to see it. The Mudmaster don't have that issue in my opinion. Cheers!
