    Today we are reviewing a very exclusive gshock square that was released at the end of 2019.
    It's the all titanium GMW-B5000TCM with the camo pattern.
    The last iteration of the material evolution of G-Shock, this is the third material used, after gold and steel.
    Because of the dark color this looks much more like a G-Shock, unlike the polished blingy steel models, but the lack of weight might be a problem for some as titanium does feel like plastic to some!
    Regardless of how you feel about the material, one thing is sure, it looks amazing and Uber cool!
    Since I already did detailed tutorials for both of these, I wont be doing them.

    I was given in 2012 a titanium Casio Pathfinder, and it looked heavy, but is very very light. Not being a gshock it still took a beating and still works, but the cost wasn't nothing near to this gshock.

    Great Video, thanks for the clear description. 👍
    Just bought one in Mint Condition with all of its original bells and whistles "Box Papers" for Under $1000 Which to me is more of a fair price.
    I really hate paying full price for a Casio that is Over Priced even if it's Titanium.
    I also Purchased the Tron Version for half of the Original price. It to will come with it's Original Paper Work and Box. As well as in Mint Condition.
    Next on the line is the is the GMW-B5000TVA-1DR Black Model with Red accents on it. Hopefully I'll find that one for less than a Thousand.

    This is the ultimate "meh". Engineering-wise there's nothing that costs $1600 - titanium simply doesn't cost that much. Any of the cheaper full-titanium Citizen Eco-Drives can attest to. The SS version should be around $300 and this can be sold for, say, $500-600 as a more premium version.
    The thing is, people WILL buy the titanium model so Casio can put any price tag on it.
    I'm kinda disappointed with the direction Casio is going with this.

    Nice to see Casio moving into titanium, but NO WAY can I justify the ridiculously high price tag. I have titanium watches by Seiko, Casio that cost far less. Now that you’ve got this new models for titanium bracelets and bezels, keep cranking out production models until the price point is more in-line with your competitors, Casio!

      @@charliezobel511 Did you end up buying that G or the Omega? I have a mix of mech and quartz, and yep have same hard time spending so much on a digital watch. Nothing wrong with them and I have a full metal silver steel G square I love, but these things cost so much. There's a lightplay, fine detailing, etc. that make analog watches so very appealing. This titanium G costs almost what my Oris did, and much as I love these G's, the Oris is a much more handsome watch with lovely detailing and the added intricacy of the mech movement. But some will call it a downside I'm sure...I see the pros to both and like having both in my watchbox. But lean towards analog over digi especially for what they charge for these!

    I've got this in black.
    Bought it used for £300 when RRP was £500.
    The watch looks cool but it's a but in the heavy side.
    Other bad points are :
    - glossy case makes it look cheap like plastic. It's beyond my comprehension why they've chosen to make the bracelet matte and the watch case glossy. Bracelet looks much much better than the case.
    - for a watch that does very few things this is very expensive and to pay 1.6 k for nomater what materials is just beyond ridiculous. The capabilities are identical to a standard b5000 plastic watch which goes for £70. Got to be mad or crazy rich to pay £1600 for the same functionality in a different case.
    - the buttons are clumsy to operate as the are located between two massive ridges on the watch case.
    - the display is although very clear is impressively small by 2020 standards. It's just ridiculous.
    All in all its I will live with the shortcomings but the asking RRP price is just ridiculous. The most disappointing fact among the shortcomings listed above is the size of the tiny display size. I love the rugged looks and the fact that it is a watch and not a smart watch.
    I wish they'd make a "lite" version that would have a larger screen and be lighter. Casio should get in with the times and ease up on the shock protection to save on weight and use the rugged design as a fashion statement. We don't operate as many heavy duty machinery like we used to in the 80's.
