3 months ago, I finally bought my first Gshock. Now I have 5. 🆘

“That was sold on EBay a long time ago. Since then, I interviewed Mr. Ibe” made my brain hurt for a second lol. I thought you interviewed a guy named Mr. eBay.

When u are wearing a G-shock every day to work you really appreciate its durability .

Bought my wife a G-shock for her birthday. She initially wasn't that keen. But I reminded her about how her last watch went through the washing machine, the one before that got buried at the allotment, the one before that... She really likes it now. It's survived over a year.

I love that no-one is going to stab me to steal my watch when I'm wearing a Gshock

I've been wearing a 5610 for work for a few years now and I've just bought the full metal 5000 square and it's been getting more wrist time than all my other watches, I love it.

G-Shocks are great. I have a few and they are the go to when doing anything harsh like working on the car, mountain biking, chopping wood, etc.

I love that you're a military kid too! My dad retired from the USMC when I was 16 and until then, I grew up on Marine Corps bases. I'm roughly your age and always really related to your watch opinions, and it's cool to see some common background. Thanks for the excellent content, as always! Cheers!

I wear the GMW b5000 from 2018 ( the all metal square) everyday. It’s my favorite g shock and my daily driver. It’s the best.

G-Shocks are just fun...and addictive. Great collection - thank you for sharing Adrian 👍

Adrian, any collector cannot go wrong with a G Shock. Also great to see you showing a Bark & Jack strap on the channel. You need to do it more often on your channel.

Agree with all you points. Love mine. Got the second Bamford and the Orange NASA. Plus a few others. Hard to resist them. Rotate them with my mechanical watches.

Great video & sweet collection! 💪

That was fun and refreshing :) My favourite is a recent acquisition and it is the Eric Haze anniversary edition. I can say your collection is excellent, and my argument is the enthusiasm in your presentation :)

Just got my first B&J nato strap…came in a posh bag and everything! Love it

Sweet collection and valid comments, great video as always Adrian, cheers

Completely agree with everything here. I have a Seamaster and a few other expensive watches...but my 3 G shocks have gotten more wrist time over the years than anything else. Love them. 👍🏻

Nice collection, Adrian! My favorite in my collection is the first Bamford. The module in that thing is insane.

Hey Adrian nice video as always…that care you’re using OMG just loved it…I am a Gshock fanboy & have around 8 Gshock in my collection so far including the 40th anniversary square on a rubber strap with gold hardware & re-crystallised back and hardware…Cheers..!!!

G-Shocks are definitely addictive. I have 12 of them now with seemingly more each month

Hi Adrian! My favourite G-Shock is my GMW-B5000V-1ER. I like the vintage finish of the steel case and bracelet. Best wishes, Claus

I recently bit the bullet and purchased the GM2100. Absolutely stunning watch. Decided to change up the strap options and add a butterfly clasp. Very nice!....oh yeah. I also bought a casioak MOD kit from SKX Mod. I love the fun and versatility of it all. Great watches. 😊👍 is there a watch emoji out there? ...that would have been good to use here🤣 as always. Love the channel, Adrian👌

Glad this video came out when it did! I just purchased an F-105W from Casio and am loving it. Now, I am looking into a g Square. I liked the MRG, but then saw online how the bezel is held on.... it will be a pass from me. Thanks Adrian for the vid and quality content as always.

Nice Gshock collection Adrian. Good restraint exhibited. I love my 5610u, poison dart frogman, Bamford, NASA’s, Team Tough square, 6900 anniversary, casioak anniversary, and 5000, about as much as my kids. They make me feel like a kid again, which is priceless. The addiction is real.

I love G-Shocks. I have 2 but am always tempted to buy another one.

Fun review Adrian. I’ve got a camo GD120C, bought in 2016. Wear to work,hunting,backyard pruning etc. Can’t kill it. Out of 18 watches,gets the most wrist time. It’s ugly,but I love it.

I have a few of them .. love em.. Adrian you must get one of the newer ones with the MIPS display .. ultra legible and cool ..And did you know that you can but adaptors which allow you to use a nato strap on them..

I love them and had loads over the years. Currently down to three, an MTG M900, a Rangeman GW9400 and a higher end MTG b3000.

Got two GA2100 - Summer Blue and Clear and you are right Adrian - clear strap goes discoloured quickly. Hope all ok buddy.

I have a couple of casioaks, lots of love for g-shock in general, agree with your points. But now!!!! I need a route XX IWC and one of your straps….. bad man

I have had a few GShocks in the Air Force, They have all been almost the exact same version the GWM510-1 as I love the simplicity and the multi band function is elite. It is my most worn watch next to my Explorer, the other watches in my collection are a lot fancier yet those are the two that see the most wrist time.

Just bought the Sky blue strap from Bark & Jack for my Oris 65 🤘🏼

Great video about g-shock. Nailed pros and cons.

I have the Bamford London Edition (latest) and love it. It was difficult to get in the U.S. and I prize it above all of my other Gshocks.

Totally agree on the sharing aspect. Last Christmas I bought 2 dw5600 one in light blue/grey and blacked out one, the first one to my brother and the black one for me, needless to say he wears them both more than I do 😂

Hi Adrian! Thanks for sharing mate! We share the same DW 5600 square with black and red. Very cool. Also a casioak and a square with cordura strap. Definitely a gshock fanboy. Greetings from Madrid to Bonnie Scotland

Nice collection! There are some totally clear straps, your watch had the gradient as a colour scheme, there is a blue version (strap goes into black). Casio changed the backlight because they last longer than the original Electro Luminescence (even if they don't look as cool.

Love the black chest watch box

I wear a mudmaster daily (at work) but also I have 2 squares (I am planning to add a full metal square) and the DW6640. DW-6600 was the first watch I really wanted.

Another like - they are fun to mod. I have built Casioaks for all of my family members with custom dials, case colors, etc. Casios can be a fun, inexpensive hobby.

Great video, would be cool if you compared against a more expensive Breitling endurance or Seiko Arnie digital.

Big Mayer fan, and I own the same Mayer GShock...love wearing it (worn it to two of his live shows since). Looks like you need to add a 2100 series to the lineup, noticeably thinner, a joy to wear.

Casio Vintage is also a great range with really cool looking pieces for really cheap!

what a lovely mug! wish I could... get one... from somewhere...

Love the watch case! Mind if I ask where you got it from?

Great video! Regarding the light / lume I don't care too much about it. There are several different versions out there, even within the same model range. There are also some G-Shocks that have fully backlighted watch faces and not only a LED on one side. It depends on the module that's build in. Some do light up for 3 seconds after pushing the button, some light as long as you press the button. So overall I'm totally fine with it. I'm a serious watch addict but still do wear a lot of Casios & G-Shocks. Currently owning around 8-10 or something like this. As you said: They tend to be guilt-free pleasure which is great!

I was gifted a G shock by my now wife before I began service in the military. I wore watches everyday prior to, but nothing suited for the service. I wore that watch daily and it became a part of me. I still have it and now have 5 g shocks. I feel like they are a collection within my watch collection. I always reccomend G shocks, I gift G shocks, I don’t know how people live without em. Also I love that your collection is very specific yet varies so much. Cheers.

*My* favorite "G-Shock" isn't a G-Shock - it's a Casio Pro-Trek PRG 330 series,And pretty much bypasses the issues you brought up regarding the Gs: recessed crystal to reduce possible scratching, evenly-backlit display, and replaceable strap (I found a cool mesh bracelet with magnetic clasp made just for the watch), and, as it's also solar-powered, it should last a good while longer than your usual MoonSwatch-of-the-month. (Nice collection, BTW.)

That BAMFORD square is one of my grail g shocks

I've got two, love them both, great watches

Why no Casioak? I have one of those and also like the look of the new GST-B600, which is less than 43 mm wide.

Hi Adrian, great video! Will you make a video about your newish IWC mark XX? I bought one myself a few months ago, wanted to know how it holds up to you. Mine got some scratches on the case pretty easily, and also on the anti reflective coating on the dial. Are you familiar with that? Or I’m bad at taking care of my watches😂 Either way it’s an awesome watch, I wear it every day And the new nato strap looks great! Would be a great buy.

Love the solar element

I wear two watches: a GW-5000U and a Speedy Pro. I wear my G-square most days because it's so damn useful. Great video as always.

After quite deliberately avoiding them for years, I got my first one a few years ago. Have bought a lot of them now, most of which my teenage kids have subsequently claimed. Currently on a G-Steel phase, and they're awesome. Certainly once you get above the basic £100 models, they are really very well made. The £500rrp GMW-B5000 feels especially good for the £320 it cost me. As you say - guilt free fun. In fact, it's rare for me to wear one of the mechanical watches now - just grab whatever style/colour/material G takes my fancy for the day and all set. Lastly, I grew up in the 80s, so that diminutive hourly beep triggers something deep in my childhood and still brings a half smile to my face.

Try the new Mudmaster 👌🏼 analog sapphire glass. Chunky buttons with a nice feel 👌🏼

I bought my first G-Shock in 1998 - a DW-003. I loved it but the strap was fabric and it broke after about 18 months of daily wearing it🤣 I check the G-Shock line up every so often and tell myself I don’t need one - but they are very appealing.

That first gshock mate, the DW6, is it any good though? I can get one and it would be my first gshock. Cheers Keith from Alberta Canada

Where did u get that briefcase? Looks dope!!

I never thought I would see one on my wrist until I rolled the dice on a Casio GBX-100TT-2JF G-Shock. I love it. It’s my daily now and by no means is it a beater. I can’t believe I said that. 🤣

good video and have you read the American book I can't remember what its called now about watches and it has a short story about a blue dyed g-shock from hard work over time, and do you collect Pokemon is that why you made the reference to gotta catch them all?

Prior to the current generation of G's Casio used Electro-Luminescant (branded "EL" or "Illuminator") panels in their LCD digital displays that lit up the entire display evenly like Timex Indiglo panels. Recent models have returned to the LED ligthing even in the LCD displays... Not sure why but it makes my older Casios even more special.

A total agreed with you about g shocks picking up the cooler you are wearing I have a off white ga 2000 I also have it with the clear strap the white one has picked up blue from my coat my favourite g shock is my new GWG100 but the one I have I love hate relationship with is my Bluetooth gwb5600 I love all it functions but a have different seeing it screen I have a Casio aq s810w in white but it’s a shining white and it’s not now picked any colours yet it is a great value for money watch it looks like a g shock

Some years ago I found my favorite G-Shock which I thought were lost. I bought it for my savings when I was 10 years old, 1984. It’s the first model with the bricks and red line. I wore that watch day and night for six years, swimming in salt water all summers. After I found it I replaced the resin case and band, a new pusher and a battery. So I don’t agree that it’s disposable 😉 Before I found my childhood watch I bought a couple of squares. But the original is still my favorite, the LCD is more legible than on the new premium squares with solar charging.

G-shock do have some where the screen itself glows, called the electro luminescence backlight, they aren't super common but I believe they are still made on certain models.

I have 3 G Shocks along with 5 other Casios. They are fun, practical, robust, stylish etc etc. But, they are addictive and every time I go shopping I make a B line for the Casio displays which drives my G/F nuts. I already have a pretty varied collection of watches (including the Casios) but, still have this urge to buy more!!

Nice. I own 5 myself. Every time i place one on my wrist i can't help but break into a smile.

The G-SHOCK steel gets rid of a couple of negatives. Tough integrated steel bracelet, and the backlight is better.

I fell in love with the Bamford 6900 as soon as it came out, but I was too slow to pull the trigger. Feel free to tell George if he has an extra one lying around, I’d love to have it 😊

Got my first G-Shock (yellow solar CasiOak) near the end of last year and pretty much haven't worn anything else since. Swapped out the hair-grabby stock straps for a black rubber strap on 20mm strap converters. I wanted a totally carefree watch that I could read without reading glasses (I am VERY farsighted). The CasiOak is solar, sets itself, adjusts itself for DST, and does not have the ka-thunk ka-thunk seconds hand that always turns me off quartz watches. Also just ordered some replacement cases in different colors to play with. But yes, the light does suck. 9.7/10. Recommended.

have got 2 g shocks, the mtg flame 40th anniversary and a basic black plastic solar with wave and moon graphics. bought but never wear now. feel cheap. most regrettable watches sold was the Borneo toad frogman, the poison dart frog edition and mostly the royal navy frogman. probably the best looking of all and still is. Adrian, bring back about effing time please

May have to get that turquoise strap for my daily IWC Mark XVI

I love my mission imposible wich is not a g shock but still some considered is very collectible and people noticed wen i wearing it.

I looooove my special editions G, the all black with pink elements to celebrate 2023 women’s month and the yellow edition sheeran. Both very comfy, beautiful and resistant watches.

I am up to 6 in my collection. Spot on about them being addictive

There are gshocks like the b5000u that have a screwdown caseback. They feel alot less disposable😊

I like my classic GWM5610...Multiband 6 and Solar powered. That's all I need, but I have so much more.

Have you ever tried the steel or titanium models? I think they are some of the best daily watches.

My first G shock(MTG 910), I wore for 8 years straight, everyday. Finally the rubber housing the pins for the strap wore out and I had to get another. My second Gshock (Gwgw-7900b-1er) I've had for 12 years, wore it everyday for 10 years. Still works and going strong.

I bought a white DW-6900FS back in '08. Wore if for about a year, it was a hype around that time. Like you said.. the white discolours, even when not wearing it. Been wearing it again since John released that 6900. It's a watch which I will never get a bond with as I have with for example my SKX007.

Good video. You need to get a G-Shock with an MIP display like the GBX-100. You will never pick up another G-Shock without it again!

I love G-Shocks and have many of them both digital and dual (ana digi) display, they are a 'don't care' watch that will survive almost anything life can throw at it, I think that they are Casio's answer to Swatch watches, with all the colours and variations etc?

As a G Shock collector, it's great to see you showcasing the brand - the pros and the cons 😉 As Nico would say #godtier

You have your G-Shocks in a waterproof and shock resistant Pelican case…🤣👍

Hi Adrian try G-shock gd-400mb I got mine from Senelager Nafi Germany all blacked out.

❤I have 12 of them and I love them

My GW9400-1 has been with me all over the world. We are both still alive with a lot of stories.

I have some great watches. Pasha, Speedmaster, Santos but I just love my GShock Square. I bought the Yellow Charles Darwin and haven’t stopped wearing it since it came out. So yeah I love the design and just everything it does. But I hate that it has taken my attention from my much more expensive watches.

On the money with all of these points. I passed a G Shock dealer on holiday recently and saw the new lume dial DW6900. Guess what I went home with?

Thoughts on the HODINKEE full like gshock release last week?

I need that square Bamford as my only g-shock :(

Seeing that high impact case filled with G-Shocks is like seeing Navy SEAL Team 6 flying First Class and getting mani/pedi's. What the what.

Glad those delicate G Shocks are safely packed away in that padded case 😅

Don’t agree with them being disposable. You can source OEM parts (strap, bezel) for a fraction of the price of the watch. Unless you crack the screen, you can easily repair a gshock

You need a Casioak in the G-Shock collection! 😉

Why have you never mentioned your Mark XX on your channel? Dying to see your review of it

Fun video, Adrian, thanks....I love me some G-shocks. I am confused as to what the relevance of the Moonswatch is to this video. G-shocks fulfil a legitimate practical purpose (in addition to being fun), whereas the Moonswatch is the equivalent of a basic, but overpriced t-shirt with ARMANI plastered over the front.

Everyone loves G-Shock! I own GA 100 and I'm very proud!

I gave both of my sons a G-Shock as their first watch. My 13yr old has had it for 2 years and never takes it off…..kicks the beans out of it and it takes the abuse, laughs it off and gets back to work. Great watches….have 3 myself.

I have 4. Two Rangeman, full metal square and resin square
