This is the coolest square Casio has ever come out with. I want one, but I would be too afraid of scratching it up to wear it. At $500, I wouldn't think twice, but at $1700, I just can't justify it.

Agree, really like the look, saw the price and laughed and X'ed right out. No way in hell. I have the full metal steel G-square and I love it, but I bought it used. This thing is not worthy of that price tag. Sorry Casio, I don't see how you're ever making the money back from the tooling you spent for these titanium squares at the prices you charge for them.

Gorgeous watch, but Casio LOST their mind with prize

So happy is NOT a neg display

Thanks for the first look. Very nice indeed.

It does look super awesome I love the aesthetic . I went down that road with getting the “Tron” metal g-shock which I liked but ultimately ended up selling when the novelty wore off.

Just got my friend to purchased mine in Japan since he was in town. I cant wait ! Price was bit high like everyone says, but I look at it in a long run how much I can appreciate this watch as I use it daily. Im not going to be worried about scratching it . It will add more character to the watch and I will love it even more. I love the overall design and details. Im a fan of GUNDAM so I think this watch has all the unique style.

When I saw the price of the previous Titanium versions I thought it was too much money for a G Shock because I didn't like the designs or the colors, it didn't make sense to me. When this version came out I didn't hesitate for a second to get it and now that I have it I understand everything. It is a spectacular watch that weighs nothing and the details are superb. I am very happy with it.

If it is a collaboration or numbered piece it might. It's just a normal B5000 release with a special titanium bezel and strap. Now that ali express is offering 100$ value on the titanium replacement, the value of the original one just like the other b5000 releases will decrease rather than go up. The $1650 srp is maxed out. Not worth the value.

@@SourStrawberrys valid argument but sometimes the value to a collector like me is the scarcity…We could make that argument for all of the $1,000 plus square g-shocks but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The value of these will increase because there will always be a demand for exclusive g-shock watches (even look at the quote on quote basic limited edition ones). And the fact that it doesn’t look expensive doesn’t matter unless your trying to floss and then that’s when you reach for a higher end watch anyways (ie Rolex, Patek, etc…). A G Shock will always be a beater watch regardless of which model it is and when I’m not in my suit or out in a nice venue I grab one of my Gs (including this one when it comes in).

@@kkirk1381 But I don't think, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies to this. As I bought the DWE-5600cc-3, a watch that is almost 5 times the price of any other GW-5600 model with the very basic 3229 module that is inside of it. The value of the watch is actually $70 below retail in resell market now, and in some countries it is even more below that. I just bought mines for $200 brand new, when it retailed for $270. But I didn't buy it because I thought it will go up in value, but because it is actually a unique looking model that stands out from the rest of the squares and I like the look personally. (I mean it also is carbon core but that doesn't mean much as all g shocks are pretty indestructible) My point is, not every "limited" or special edition expensive model raises in value over time. Sometimes it drops. Did I think mines was worth the price of $270, no. But for $200 eventhough it is still high, the 3 exchangeable bands (2 pretty unique in design), 2 exchangeable face plate, carbon core material, makes up for it. As for this $1650 one. They can just make it out of the resin material and make it look similar if that would bring the price down to less than $1000. Doesn't need to be titanium.

It's just like wearing a LV pair of trousers and it only says LV inside on the label and nowhere else. But again you know your wearing quality.

So cool!! Love to have one...

ok as someone who usually dabbles in the high horology market. I've been waiting for something like this forever. I understand it may sound ridiculous to pay $1700 for watch that does exactly the same thing as a $200 g shock. But those case finishing, material, attention to details etc. This is such a reasonable price. It's geared towards people who usually pay $1000 just for a rubber strap.

Beautiful watch and a great video review, thank you. It would have been nice to see an overhead view of what the face looked like with the back lighting though. I know you used the back light, but it didn’t show how clear the information that was displayed on the watch face was, or how bright it was. Other than that it was a great review, especially as you really showed the watch from different angles. I have an iPad Pro (4 speakers) and didn’t have a problem with the audio and could hear everything without raising the volume.
