Connect the watch to the app, set it up and turn it on Airplane mode when you are done. When you need to use any of the smart features or sync the time, simply turn off Airplane mode and connect the watch. This works really well if you have multiple colors/watches that use this app. You only need to select the watch you want then turn off Airplane mode. Choose "Time Adjust" and then "Bluetooth" to reconnect watch.

To me it’s not about battery cost. It’s about water resistance. By opening a watch once a year you compromise its water resistance unless you replace the gasket every time and pressure test it. How many people do that with their Casios? I don’t even know if you can buy a case back gasket for Casio. In a solar powered watch that problem doesn’t exist :) That’s why I find solar option pretty valuable, and it’s important especially in Casio models with those tiny little screws that are holding case back in place.

You're spot on about this watch. I think if they add solar capability and maybe limit some of the smart functions, it would be a no-brainer for many people

Hands down the most entertaining watch review I've ever seen. Subbed. As for the GDB-200, I mostly love it from what I've read and seen here, BUT I'll wait for a solar version. Got a Casioak when they first came out and regret not waiting for the solar positive display version. The GDB like this, AND solar?....Heaven.

The Bluetooth syncing keeps you scarily accurate already, but adds multiple other functions, so I don't know why you'd want to pay more to do less. Just feels like a weird niche "for hard-core watch geeks only" choice.

Hi MWC, stumbled across your channel when looking at watch reviews for G shock watches. Love your enthusiasm and content when reviewing the watches. I think I'm at the early stages of embarking on my own G shock journey...thanks for the videos

I got one of these new squares a few months ago and I've been loving the run tracking feature. Two quick button pushes and I'm off to the races.

I m looking to buy my first G shock and in dilemma between this one and G5600UE1 updated solar square! I I understand that in legibility and easiness of pressing the button, it shines thaan the usual square but I have heard ppl damaging their watch while replacing the battery and this one has only 1 year + of battery😢 I have 7 inch wrist and looking to buy a durable long lasting digital watch to look for time, Alarm and world time! What do you suggest? Can I live with 5600’a display legibility angles in 2023 or is this watch greatly improved?

Only found you via a tgv video last week . Really enjoying the slightly different take on watches. Much more upbeat . Addictive viewing .

Been having my eye on this watch since their release. Casio really has a winner with this one, well done all around! Retro-Modern for sure 😂 Great show, Russell!

The lime green one is the pick of the bunch! I've had one for about 6 months and I love it! The display is probably the best I've seen on a G-SHOCK, VERY easy to read.

Great review Russ, haven’t seen any other reviews on this watch. That screen is pretty sweet. I think if G Shock is looking to take away some of Apple’s customers, more user friendly notifications and solar power would definitely make people look at this. Not having to charge a smart watch every night would definitely be a benefit. 👍🏻

Great watch review. Looking into getting this watch and this really helped. Cool video and transitions as well.

Would definitely pick this up... if it were solar. I try to avoid smart watches at all costs, but this has just the very maximum amount of "smart" that I could deal with. Love the display. Add solar (with a similar price point) and I'm in!

Great review. I love your video. Just subscribed. I was wondering if the vibration only works for notifications. Or does it work with the alarm, too (which is what I'm looking for!)? Are there any other G-shocks with vibration alarms? Thank you again for a great video

Awesome video! I very much like your style. Great work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The fluorescent green one with the screen or the blue one with the screen are almost perfect, save the notifications. I have a black GBD-800 but recently bought the JDM version in yellow with black - makes me think of Empacher racing boats. I wanted a yellow Casio step counter but if only it had the screen of the GBD-200. Man, Casio’s the best. Love that display case!

Hi mate. The GBD-H1000 is basically a GBD-200 with solar charging, plus other features such as GPS and a heart rate sensor. It has the same fantastic display. I have 4 in different colours.

Thinking on ordering one does it vibrate when you get a notification

Nice watch, I love it, especially the display. Recently I got a deal on the GBX-100KI, which has the same display and some extra functions. But something that I observed is the watch is slow when you exit the workout mode, it takes almost 10 seconds to go back to the home screen. The solar charging is missing and maybe they upgrade this module. I also have the old G-7800, and the module is one of the best, very customizable, even the font size and the contrast can be adjusted, multiple timers, customizable alarms. I think the GBX-100KI with the metal bezel is the succesor of this G-7800.

Such a great presenter and reviewer, many thanks

I completely agree with this great, entertaining review. Thanks. I would personally love to see one of these solar powered and on a bracelet similar to the combi. That would be a super legible, comfortable watch that would last a very long time.

Really considering getting this one in the grey colour. That’s for such a good review!

I got the Black version that is also the UK version sold in the USA. The large numbers and it's esthetics were the selling points. This is my 1st G-Shock. I use it as a watch, the running features don't apply to me. A solar powered version would have been great. I work at the local airport and have logged in 30,000 steps in a single day. Bought this in September as a belated August birthday present to myself. The watch's G-Shock toughness saved my wrist from a serious fracture at work, as it was the only thing protecting me from two colliding steel luggage carts. Not a scratch to the watch. I did have a slight imprint of the wrist band in my skin for the rest of the day along with some temporary numbness and tingling. Worth every penny of the 150.00 dollars I paid for it.

I've had a few hybrid watches in the past that run a similar battery. Having the watch connected to my phone all the time I would get about 6 months out of the battery. Connecting the watches every few months just to sync the time id get the 2 years. Most likely picking this one up 👍 Optimus primes head for sure

Soo good!!! Thanks Russell.!👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋😁

Hello, I’ve got two of those models in my collection mainly because of the awesome display. But what I definitely do not like is the “new way” to set the watch after using Casio’s since the late 70’s and G-Shock’s since the early 90’s, I’m quite lost in my rotation. Also the countdown timer which I use a lot (for cooking) is a pain in a neck to quickly set. My dream watch would be this amazing display (which for me is the future of digital watches), with solar power, a real stop watch and the “traditional” idiot proof way to set the watch.

Bluetooth also provides the time sync for the watch, which is useful I think. So, it is always accurate down to the second in case they, you know, turn off the Atomic Clock transmitter in Fort Collins or in your location. I don't think you can overlay a solar panel on the MIP. you would need a separate panel, which is why the solar panel is on the periphery of the display screen on the 5610. Looks like there is some room on the GBD200 for a panel if they use the outer black border space.

Any thoughts on the the "Three Eye" DW-5900? It's next on my list of retro-styled G-Shocks. I do wish it had solar/multi-band, but the style is great. I have the GW-5610, GW-6900, AWG-M100B, GW-M500... I just NEED the DW-5900 and a DW-5750/GWX-5700

The watch looks amazing!! The beep delay is a deal breaker though. Wanted to know if the beep delay is specific to the model that you received?

Great review and channel, top lad

Appreciate you watching Tom!!! You got it yet? Let me know y’thoughts!!!

You’ve sold me on this one MWC! (Even if it is a year later). Placed an order with Francis & Gaye for the blue one too - couldn’t do it via the website as their codes didn’t work so sorted a nice discount direct and referenced your excellent advertising. Love the channel and have been binging your Casio vids. I, like a lot of people, was tempted to hold out for a solar one but given the leanings towards smarter watches rather than this hybrid, I’m wondering if they’ll actually release the square solar mip that we all crave. I kinda doubt it now. This will scratch the itch for now though. Love the vids. Not surprised how quickly your channel is growing. All you need is Ed the Duck and a broom cupboard 😊
