Great video, made for a good Saturday morning view, enjoyed it. On the GravityMaster stopwatch, I have the GWRB100, same stopwatch, and I agree it's useless for short timings, like cooking pasta or a run, but it's exceptional at long events, as in 'How long have I been on this plane now?' five hours, 20 minutes or so, Then it comes into it's own.. an presents as it's own running clock. just my 2 cents (pence?) 🙂.

The GPW-2000 is also, I believe, one of the only G-Shocks with 2 PCBs. The GPW is indeed solar powered. The indicator at the 9 o'clock is showing 'M' or medium charge on your watch.

Yeah it’s a special watch. So the Mudmasters have the option to move the hands to see the digital display, as do many of the Gshocks. I’m pretty sure the Gravitymaster does this also, I’ll double check and let you know. Cheers!

Hey buddy, Well this could be a first with these two darlings, and glad it was you covering it ;) I've not had much experience with the GWG, so can only go by reviews like yours, but does certainly have a huge following and support. With regards to the stopwatch, the Gravitymaster is more for rough readings in my opinion, and you can in fact start the stopwatch before the sub-dial settles down just to mention, but as it uses a mini analog dial with that tiny PM/AM sub-dial, it's actually very handy to glance to get a rough idea how long you've been timing it for, but on short timings, the GWG for sure. It's without doubt my perfect travelling watch, as it adjusts the time with the Bluetooth, also it has those time/position points which is very useful if you want to note a place quickly while traveling. But you are right, it certainly has a learning curve, and that's on a few levels, as the calibrational side is very involving, and learning it all by heart takes time. To me it's like the G-Shock of the MR-G but in more resin than steel, and inside it's full with some amazing tech, that's still leaps into the future really. I wished it had Hand Sweep, that'll be handy when setting the sub-dial, as it's not so easy to see when those hands decide to obscure it, also the lack of beeps for the stopwatch and timer is missing, but not a big deal, as the only time I use these, is when I want to time longer durations, so it's not really about pin point accuracy so much. Isn't the GWG using a carbon second hand? It's also because the motor can spin the hand faster because of the lightweight fibre. The LAT and LONG is a curious one, as it's not really helpful unless you're traveling vast distances in the air, but feel it's more gimmick than practical, but at least you can see if you're in the northern or southern hemisphere B-) Btw, the atomic antennas are working all the time, it's just at night that traffic is less frequent, so those watches with MB6 are set to start searching after midnight trying a few times during the night, but you can force manually during the day to get a signal, but not with the Gravitymaster, there isn't an option to manually search for the MB6. Really nice to see these two compared, and they are very different indeed... you are right about that Gravitymaster backlight, I wouldn't be surprised if it's meant to also act as a backlight? Just looking at your subs, and WOW, you're getting closer to 1k.... will keep check on that, and I will push on my community page again to really get you there... could be this month, but certainly next month... would really make me happy to see you get there, you deserve it my friend, and we must've been friends for at least 3yrs now, so long over due!

On the older gwa 1000 the entire watch face can read either the timer or stop watch and or switch back and forth. :)

On gravitymasters gwr b1000 & gwa 1000 the stop watch function starts immediately, the hour and minute hands catch up and no waiting is needed. :). The led brightness difference is due most likely do to newer and better technology; most new flashlights do exhibit this trait too.

The opening image of the video shows a big difference that was not noted or elaborated on further, and that was the actual diameter of the watch faces of the two watches. The gravitymaster was quite a bit larger in diameter and is the first characteristic I look for in a 'large watch'. :)

The bezel would appear to be more scratch resistant that that of the GWG-1000 based on personal experience. With regards comparison to the analogue Frog I have written it a couple of times as I like the look in principle but I just can't help thinking it wouldnt go with so many styles plus it's a big watch with the off set band. It is very much a diver watch and I think that makes it less versatile compared to the GravityMaster.

You can actually start the stop watch immediately..... the seconds hand will tick while the hour and minute hands line up...... all analog is certainly not as easy to handle as ana digi but it's more fun and it's still does everything ..... just takes some time getting used to

You can press mode and instantly start the stopwatch while the dials are still zeroing out. It also says this in the manual. Great videos though man love the g-shocks I collect them myself
