A great set of G shocks. The GW-5000U ia amazing, the best, gotta get one. For the future, a MIP square with tough Solar, atomic etc, with steel screwdown back would be absolute perfection.
I went G Shock crazy over the last few years thanks in large part to your channel. I love the illumination of all the text on the Mudman G9000, very unique. I may have to look for one of those next.
I have a G9000 Mudman. Rocking on my wrist for the time since I bought. Bought it for the asymmetric case the rich history and "made it for a reason"thing, absolutely loving it.
Dear Russ Most of my Gshock collection is after your revews in the last two years. For one time ,I wish you revew for us the great Italian brand Venezianico. I believe they are worth your unbiased revews. With great appreciation and love , Nizar

Thank you Nizar! I will undoubtedly come across one soon and we can take a look my friend. All the very best!
The 6600 was my first and still fav. Passed my on to my 14 year old daughter. She wears it everyday for the past two years. 🤙🏼
Hi, first of all that Casio display case is amazing! Also amazed by how many Casio watches you own. I own a few G Shocks too and they're mostly reissues of 90s G Shocks becaude of its simple design, and also because of the EL backlight. Epic G Shock collection, can't wait for your Casio collection video!
Love your passion for this brand. Beyond any other brand it really comes across.

You talked me into getting the gbd200 and the 5000u. Purchases that I do not regret in the slightest. I feel my G-Shock journey is complete 😃
Your show was the final straw in my decision in buying myself a GW5000u-1JF! Now it's my ONLY Gshock in the collection! Cheers sir Russell!

Recently picked up the DW6600 40th anniversary edition and it is stunning. Would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone!
I got my first and only G-Shock last year. GW-5000U-1ER and I absolutely love it. All the G-Shock I need.
Excellent, thanks for the chapters!
Just got my GW-5000U-1JF It's utterly gorgeous for a digital!
I recently bought a GWG2000 black/carbon, absolutely love this watch, I totally get when you said you can just sit there and look at it, it's a work of engineering art.
Always wanted a G shock😢

MWC the first ‘round’ G Shock was the DW-5400 with the steel case and screw in case back from the 5000/5200. I actually bought one waaay back in the day and like you say it didn’t win me over. The 5000/5200 were my go to. I sold the 5400 and just found my 5000 and 5200 in the loft the other day 😮. Awesome show BTW!
Stellar show! Great enthusiasm! Now for the back of the Casio fridge!!

The 9400 rangeman was one of my first g shocks and has always been a favorite of mine. I just wish it wasn't so easy to accidentally press the side button when bending your wrist. If not for that, I'd wear it much more often! Also, fun fact, if you buy the jdm rangeman, the GW-9400J version, you'll get a carbon fiber strap instead of the regular resin one that comes on the international models

Very cool my friend!! Thanks for watching!
I have a 9052. It has all the usual stuff you would find on the OG, plus an EL backlight and some cool graphics. Makes a great winter-wear piece (no sweating=no constant taking-off and putting-back-on, saves wear and tear on the strap). I find it a bit bulky tho, so I tend to gravitate toward the Invicta Pro Diver or the Ironman.
I only have 3 G Shocks but, my GBD200 gets a lot of wrist time because of it's clarity. I do a lot of cycling and it's my go to watch for that. Great collection and you've planted the seeds for an addition to my collection!!
Bought my first 'G' a week ago from a large retail outlet - a black G100. Love it! Especially good as in the same town an independent jewellery shop wanted almost the same money for a F-91! 😮
Such a great set of g shocks. I have a dw 5600 ms that I use everyday. Recently I took him to a dive session with a trail in the rocks just after it and stays the same, almost new, watch. I'm proud to say that the squares are the best ones to get into.
Love that the frog is in your top three . How far you’ve come along the G journey!
Picked up my first G shock last month. The Rangeman GW9400-1B. Absolutely love it. Now just bought the Mudman G9000 yesterday for work. As I am a contractor and do a lot of construction work! The addiction to watches has begun. 😂👌 glad I found this channel!
Yes, I love my GBD-200 in black and I now wear it every day after the GW-M5600 (predecessor of the 5610) was my daily beater for more than 13 years and still works like charm. But the GBD-200 feels and looks so modern and high quality. I've tried the GW-5000, but due to the weight of the unit, it always slipped to the side of the wrist and I just couldn't really get it to fit properly.
Marvelous! I have a DW-5735D-1B 35th Anniversary model, it also has that shiny gold lcd! Feels very premium. Nice collection!
I recently bought the GBD-200, my first ever G-Shock, and also first digital watch since I was a child. I had always thought G-Shocks were too big for me and for some of the models, that's probably still true. But the MIP display looks so good that I decided to give it a shot and I've worn it nearly every day since. I vividly remember seeing G-Shocks for sale in the 90's. At the time they seemed absurdly huge compared to the kids' watches I wore. I thought only an absolute unit of a man could possibly wear a G-Shock. But the brand left such an impression that every time I look at the 'G-SHOCK PROTECTION' wording on the bezel, it's a lovely hit of nostalgia.
For "smaller" G-Shocks with iconic designs I strongly recommend the DW-9052 and G-2900F.
Love that CassOak with the stainless case. I have two, one modded, and one stock.. they’re my second favorite line next to the square G’s

Thank you John!
Who else got Gollum’s”my precious vibes” while he gushed about the Mudmaster 😂? Dude your enthusiasm about these pieces is more than enough reason to watch your videos… Great video mate.
The Frogman GWFD-1000B has been my favorite G-Shock to date but it is a MONSTER on my 6.75” wrist. So i end up wearing my second favorite G-Shock most of the time, the lovely GW-9400-1 you featured here. And i completely agree, fantastic buttons, great display and backlight and TS and MB6 is the 🍒 on top.
I discovered you because of your casio / g shock vids. I hope to see more! Thanks for the content.
Russ - you are awesome! Love your g collection. Now I'm going to be wearing mine more. (The thinner ones that will fit under a cuff during winter time!) I have an original DW5700 and it has a screw down back. It has hundreds of hours underwater at sport depths not exceeding 40 meters - still going strong. Another that had been a daily and used like a mudman is a blue GW300. Solar and multi band. Love that watch. Let's see those Casios!
I watch your channel daily almost and I've bought two of these models which are my favorites, GW-9400-1B, I love the 90's looks with the negative display and I also have got a GWG-2000-1A1 exactly like yours which is the first g-shock I ever own, I am not much into spending my money on a square one but I would definitely do it on a frogman, I love them, especially the special edition made for the Royal Navy. God bless, see ya around.
DW5600E-1V square on my wrist. The classic of the brand and only one you need. Thanks MWC you are awesome!
Great collection! I have around 30 G-shock and my favorite is also DW-5040PG, it's a great simple and beautiful watch!
I just got the clear casioak myself and I love it!
I love the comfort and casual feel of the 5000U, but I wish it had the STN display from the GMW-B5000 .
My favorite G shock what I wear most, because is only G-SHOCK that i own is GBD-800. I love this watch and I don t understand why nobody talk about it.
I just picked up my first G-shock last summer after not having owned a Casio since my teens. It's quickly escalating now that I recently added a fourth, which is also my first square. Perhaps some of the fun of G-shock collecting is the immense diversity.
G shocks just can’t be beat I use my mums that she gave to me she wore it daily for over 32 years and it’s still as good as new
Thank you for the video! Now I have good reference point to buy more casios. 🎉
Love ur energy. Subscribed 🎉
Lovely...just lovely
Always amuses me that the casio display cabinet reminds me of one of those budweiser fridges we all had in the early 2000's every time i see it.
Love the display cabinet. Very retro cool! My wife would never let me have one of those in the house 😅

Speaking of the CasiOak, I felt the same way when I first got one. Then I wore it on a round of golf and it was so comfortable and has since become my go-to active sports watch. As for the ana-digi debate I simply set the digital display for the date and seconds, and use the analog function for time.

When I was i kid I remember buying a red 6900 from Safeway supermarket for 20 quid! It was about 2 times bigger than my wrist but what a classic 🔥
Yes! I voted for G-shock and have been looking forward to this one. Not a bad collection there Russ, highlights are the Mudman, Frogman, and the collection of 6900’s. Another series I’m into is the G7900’s, sometimes called the Rescue series. You can get them in black, blue, green, and red (famously worn by Guy Martin in a few of his TV series). They’re getting harder to track down now, so I think a future classic!
@DougsPerspective

Agreed -- the 7900 Rescue is my fav G-Shock. I've owned several and just received the white one (it is awesome)!
I love the retro look of the 5700, fits just like a square. It needs to be more readily available.
Gotta say new to your channel and man it’s cool. I have a lot of G shocks and because of watching your channel I have been buying ILLUMINATOR watches you can’t beat twenty dollar Casios. Thanks
My g shock 35th anniversary ga-835a-1a is my best g shock. Definitely hard to beat in legibility. Good back light and simple.
Around the same time as your particular mudman, there was also the gulfman and riseman, definitely worth checking out! I miss my G9000, but you've got me wanting a Frogman now!

Just bought a GA-700BNR-1AER and i love the look of this thing. Eyeing up a few others such as-GA-B001G-1AER, GA-100BNR - 1AER, GAW-100BNR-1AER, GA-2100-1A3ER, GA-2100-1A2ER. All standard G Shocks but all look great.
Very beautiful collection ! I really like number one. On my side i just got my dream Watch the gmw-b5000d and I can’t stop wearing it. It might be the one that cured me from this Watch collection disease ! Cheers and I hope we’ll have this basic square G or even 6900 with the MIP display.
Your collection is amazing!
Man, you're just hillarious and fun to watch, and in terms of what's cool and what's meh, in the g-shock range, you hit everything right, the bluetooth nonsense, the overcomplicating perfect models, so on. Great video.
I love the full metal gold 40th anniversary square that has the gold flecks in it. I've never seen one in person, but that's the watch I'd be most interested in.
The 350 is my favorite. Its great for medium to large wrists. Great display and light. Very comfortable. The only bad thing is the limited selection.
Nice collection! (even nicer box)! I think what you're missing in your collection is the second (and best) Rangeman GPR B1000, which I wear all the time, it's incredibly comfortable to wear despite its size. It has the premium materials and is made in Japan. A realy must have for every G-Shockhead 🙂
I searched for a long time for the perfect G Shock that would stop me from buying other G Shocks. I ended up with the Rangeman. Affordable price and tons of features, plus it was worn by Chris Hemworth in Extraction (I found out while watching the movie and I was wearing it ). Then my father-in-law wanted it and gifted one to me! I love the comfort on long trips and the stopwatch shortcut. I have had some long trips where I had to sleep with it for over 20 hours.
I got dw5600, wear it on hiking, riding bike, at motorcycle, at snowboard, great watch to wear at any sports, now i got dw6900 and it looks great too
Great collection, I love g-shock watches, one of my favorite is the G-7800 which have a very good module inside, I still have this one, great matrix display, even the főt type and contrast can be changed, you can set almost everything, but not solar or multiband 6. To bad casio never released another watch with this module.
WOW! There are at least 5 or 6 in this collection that I'd love to have but.....here it becomes very important one aspect of wristwatch collectioning that you have mentioned many times in your videos: I cannot really bear the fact that I inevitably tend to wear the one I love most.....and all the others never get out of the drawer! My daily G-shock is the Gw-6900. The one that I dream is the Frogman but I think I'll get the 5000U in the end. So that I have one round and one square.
My favourite G shock. AWG-M100SB-2AER. It is so under Radar.
Just picked up a G Shock for my 30th birthday. Compliments along side my Casio F108-WH nicely.
The cabinet is awesome!
Get the green GBD200! It certainly makes a statement. As you quite rightly pointed out, the display is absolutely fantastic. All the very best for 2024, Russ. Cheers from NZ
Such a fun show! My most worn is the same as yours- thanks to you lol. I am partial to the squares also, but do love my 6900 and have been tempted to upgrade to the solar mb6 version...

Love the collection man. Personally, the GMW B500D is my ultimate g shock. The fact that it is all steel gives it a feeling of value as well as being tough as nails. I wear mine everyday. And yes, its very beat up. Another G shock that looks better scratched up! Love the wife's take lol.
Totally agree on the GW-5000U as being the best of the squares. You can elevate it even further with the addition of the v2 Combi bracelet. And I don't wear my Casioak either LOL
Russ, I did a holiday buying guide for Casio on my channel a month ago and featured some of these Casios. Amazing collection!!
Great classic collection. Love the 5600s, 6900s, and the blue GBD200. Maybe take a look at the first model released with the Illuminator back in 1994. The DW6600. Best backlight on a G. They did recently bring it back but it’s too sterile for my taste. The OG ones can still found on the bay. They use the 6900 bezel and band so fixing up an older one is a cinch.
I wear every colour of the W-218H but sway the bands around for uniqueness. Green watch & blue band Blue watch & black band Grey watch & orange band Black watch & grey band The buttons aren’t annoying on this model & great value.
I bought my first digital watch after watching your first review of it, the GBD 200..... It's as good as you said. I now have the blue, the black and the lime green...all disconnected from the smart functions of course. So you are responsible for my three G-Shocks :-)
M'y favs : - GMW B5000D Full metal square - 5000 U 🇯🇵 For MiP displays, you should pull the trigger on a GBX 100 ... 😉👍
Very cool collection. I like that it has basically everything G-Shock can offer in design and technology and that it is actually very similar to mine ☺. I do wear that 40th anniversary square the most, it is awesome! I also have a frogman (the 35th anniversary magma one possibly the best piece in jy collection), the G900 positive display is a joy to wear very unique light and colorful, and yes that gbd200 is to me the next evolution of the square ( I have the blue one too and use it for the gym). A piece I highly recommend to you is the G Shock GD 350-8 it is one of my favorites I wear it a lot I like that the alarm can be set to vibrate and that it is quite legible and it looks so cool.
Awesome show MWC! Makes me want to add more G Shocks to my collection 💸😂

I'm traditionally a G-Shock Square fan but the GW-6900 has become my new favorite.
Bought the Gshock x Mischief coolab. Loved it for a week 😞 it’s supposed to look faded and does but, oh dearie me it’s drab. Great show 👍👍
the G5000 blew me away. Thanks for the tip!
love them!
If you love the features of the Mudmaster but want a smaller case with a more legible dial give the Pro Trek PRW-50Y a look. The band is silicone and comfy and it's got sapphire glass. I love mine.
oh wow, what a cool video, love your collection. out of all my Casio watches i only have 6 g-shocks: DW 6620-Scorpion, G-9000, G-7900, DW 5600E, GW-M5610 and GST B200. I love all of them and i wear them a lot.

Thank you my friend!
A great selection Russ. I'm always just a tad weary of watching G-Shock reviews as it tends to cost me money. That seed has already been sown on the old MudMan a little while ago but I've resisted it so far. The 5610 and the 'U' model are brilliant, when I'm have medical stuff done my original EL backlight 5610 that I've had for a long time keeps me company. The full metal squares speak for themselves although I'm a big fan of my old (by todays standards) long discontinued black titanium positive display 5000.
Great video Russ. You asked for any ideas on notable missing items, and I'd like to put forward the GX-56. The negative display is hard to read, and the buttons are hard to push, but its huge size just makes it feel like such a statement piece on your wrist. I dont care about any special features, so the fact that it's still avaliable for just over a hundred quid, and is solar, makes it a good value time telling machine that looks like it could survive World War 3!
My fav G from your set is also the 40-th anniversary square. I also would try the GBD-200, but maybe I should wait for the solar version. Personally I own 2 basic squares: the classic black one and a marine white one, and I do wear them quite often. Maybe someday I'll get the premium Japanese black square if they make a version with a red frame and a brick pattern around the screen. I also have the grey 2110, which is the best color of the whole series, in my opinion. And a weird winter Glide version of the 6900 with only one eye but two stopwatch scales, the thing is massive with it's bullbar, but it's one of those fun function packed Gs. Thanks for another great video!
Great video. Hope you review the new Casio WS1700H. Picked it up in Gray. I’m liking it, but I always enjoy your perspective
Great collection!,
Great G-Shock collection MWC! I'm surprised you do not own a G-Shock GD 350. It's one of the best as well! Cheers!
Enjoyed this video in my lunch ❤
I think we share the love for g shocks but certainly not for tech.. I love the h5600 I have the metal version and it's my favorite square... Also I'm moving into an all out Bluetooth solar collection, only having two oaks a 5610u and a gwg 2000 as the only non BT ones... I have a few b5600 a b2100 a gwg b1000 etc.... It super convenient not to have to push a button ever... Anyhow I just love you show! Saludos desde México
