I prefer the looks of the GGB 100 for me it's more of an everyday watch, and wouldn't swap mine for the GWG 2000 although I would like solar and sapphire.
Agreed. I love my GGB-100 but I would upgrade to the GWG-1000. Not this 2000 version. This new one is sleek and reduced in size. Not what I’m looking for in G-SHOCK
How long the battery life on ggb100
@@dolguldur4706 2 years but would depend on usage.
Ggb hss quad sensor , lots more info , plus mine has survived two motorcycle crashes .. i won't be changing
If only I didn't have the GWG1000 I would've bought the GWG2000 in a heartbeat
The GGB 100 to me is more rugged looking and actually has more under the bonnet compared to its over priced counter part which is still a quality watch but looks wise and every day rough and tumble work watch I prefer the GGB100 and not being solar is not an issue battery change is no big deal its cheap and quick .
j'ai le ggb 100 mais quand on change la batterie il faut aussi changer le joint et la impossible d'avoir des joint neufs donc le solaire est plus sécurisant
I am guessing you're okay with doing the battery change on your own. It looks easy enough with a video I saw on YT.
Funny but comprehensive 👍B100 is the first attempt once they learned they tried to improve hence GWG1000 than they further found new slight improvements/excuses to build GWG 2000 to sell it at a even higher price......yea its business
I think the B100 is totally different beast to the GWG 1000 and 2000 tbh so my comparision is not really fair but there are similarities , I'd definitely go GWG shame so much more expensive lol
Good comparison vid, informative without too much tech talk, good audio, good humor without it sounding scripted, no stupid loud music and unnecessary promo or commercial. Like Benny Hill, good wholesome fun. If your other reviews are as nice, I'll subscribe. Thanks
I have the B100 and I thought battery powered wouldn’t be too big of a problem. The battery just died on me a week ago and it was a DAMN problem trying to get it replaced. Couple repair places refused to even touch it. Took it to a battery shop and they took it no problem. But got it back with what looks to be like a couple specs of dust or lint in it. I don’t think they sealed it up correctly. What a mess it is to replace batteries on G-SHOCKS. I’m considering upgrading to solar but I think I’m preferring the GWG-1000. Thanks for your review. Love your channel
Thank you for the parting comment very much appreciated and hope you carry on enjoying yourself here in the future. That is a pain to hear your story and we will probably hear it more moving forward. At least suunto was super easy to change just penny in back undo and pop new battery in. But g shock its not lol thank you so much for posting and I hope things are sorted 😊
Do a youtube search on gg-b100 disassembly, its pretty easy and straightforward (took me like 20min to disassemble to the battery and reassemble) and pretty much the only tools you need is 2mm (or 2.5mm) hex and ph0 phillips screwdriver.
@@AugisTv -thanks for the heads up. I think I will do that from now on. Take care of it myself
How much time you use your B100 and need replace battery ?
@@P.I.D.27 I had mine for 2 months before needing a battery replacement, but no idea for how long they had it running in the store.
I would have gotten the GGb100 a long time ago as I love the casino app fro travel. It makes it soo easy to adjust and set your dual time on the watch. BUT it doesn't have solar. Sorry but I won't buy a high end casio gshock or Protrek without Solar. 1 changing batteries on Gshocks while maintaining the integrity of the seal is a pain in the ass and even jewelers will charge me extra for them if I take them in. 2 solar is just too handy of a feature. I have a casio solar that's going on 15 years old on the same battery. Yeah you should have to replace them at some point but it makes the watches so much more worry free. I had a non solar gshock go dead on me during a 3 week long fishing trip (bad luck I gues) but with solar watches its NEVER been an issue or a worry that I should think about doing. Yeah I've used autos while fishing but I find things like knowing the barametric pressure and setting alarms for when its good times to fish in the areas I'm in soo handy. Especially since I like to go places you just don't get phone service in mid to northern Canada. And yeah I wear and love Autos. Just not as much as I love solar quartz.
And not having phone service in those areas is a good thing to. I treasure going up there to disconnect do some fishing, read some books on my kindle and reconectiung with my Dad. Nobodies bothering us from work and its so bloody peaceful. 😅😅 And yes I know some might not see carrying a kindle as NOT disconnecting but I used to pack 3 or 4 books for reading by the fire and now I can carry thousands and no more reading by flashlight. 😅😅 Of course with new modern Led flashlights like Olight makes that's not really an issue either but I've already gotten way side tracked.
Thank you for that comment I enjoyed reading it. Which autos do you have. I can imagine a Rolex or similar being in its element away from it all. I take mine camping with me. Check out my other channel...
The Pro trek I show I put a new battery in the other month was a bit of a faff but as you say it lasts years and years and is handy. A kindle is disconnected if no data or WiFi lol just saves weight and torch lol I love watching a movie in my tarp
Here from Rangemans channel. Look forward to absorbing all your videos!
Thank you hope you enjoy
See you in comments again :)
I much prefer the GG-B100 due to the functionality of the thing. The barometer displays more data, you can customize the menu for the functions you want and even customize the homescreen to display the functions you want to see at the push of a button instead of scrolling through the modes. Not only that but the connectivity gives it the bonus of sensor calibration and the ability of auto DST of the world time. The GWG-1000/2000 might be well built and all but the usability is a downgrade due to the smart crown and cut down features.
Although they're very similar, people forget that the GWG 2000 isn't just more expensive for the few extra features alone. It's also the build quality. The build quality on the GWG 2000 is superior. People spend insane amount of money on watches which do nothing but tell the time because of the sheer quality of the watches. You can get the same features for a lot less but you're also getting a watch that is built cheaper.
They don't spend the money because of quality. But because they want to look somewhat superior than others.
Yes but built tough enough that the average person will never approach the danger level of treating it bad enough or being hard enough on it to cause it to fail. So sometimes you pay more for a watch built tougher been when is it overkill?
A pace count / step counter is crucial when actually useing a compass.puts the 100 over the top winner saphire and solar would be nice but not a deal breaker.most dont actually put these g shocks through there paces anyway👍🇺🇸
Yes I really don't understand why they didn't put a step counter on the 2000 at the very very least to give it a step up from the GWG 1000 and given its 6 band and not much in way of Rangeman why not have added sun rise set. Thank you for your comment
Wow! That sapphire crystal none reflective sure makes a huge difference. Good vid.
I think the GWG-2000 is for collectors or for new gshock Mudmaster buyers.
G SPOT 🤣👍🏼.. I loved your review man so explanatory!
The plastic one has a steel backing also.
You just have to remove the plastic and it looks just like the other one.
So actually it's extra protection
This jolly bloke was cracking himself up
Thank you 😊
I like the G-spot button on Gwg-2000 😆😆😆😆
Great comparison! Thank you
Many thanks
And I thought my gw9400 rangeman was big. 😂
I have the ggb100 coming in the mail and have some pretty small wrists. The gw9400 sits okay on my wrist
Damn the GWG dosen't have sunrise sunset? I love that feature.....I pretty sure its got to be the same module as my Protrek Prw-6600Y-1A9CR now. Which is kinda funny cause I can buy that Protrek in Canada on amazon for $340 Canadian which is over half the price of the GWG 2000 which I can get oin Sakura watches for $740 Cdn....Is saphire, an extra 100m WR and some extra, but probably un-needed, protection worth the extra $400?
That does make the titanium PROTREK PRW-70YT-7JF look really attractive again or just a PRO TREK PRW-60Y-1AJF for $200 less...but I do like the dial layout and actual metal pushers on the GWG-2000 though. A buddy lent me his Explorer for a while once to try and convince me to buy one and I really miss those numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9. I'm not sure why but I love that layout on a dial. The simplicity but somehow quick and easy way for my brain to acquire the time from the dial?
I was tempted to save up for an Explorer too. But he showed me the maintenance bill when he sent it in for a service last year....I was like getting a bill for a car....no thankyou. It reminded me why I like solar quartz. Autos are cool but....daaamn that's not for me.
Hello Logan thanks for such a detailed comment I'll read your others shortly. I'd absolutely agree its a costly beast for not many features all in all. I guess the cash goes to the technology of making it thinner with that core?
No sunrise sunset but you'd need connection to app for that ? But maybe the RC could gather that information?
I think a lot of dosh goes to the RC module too. Its great its slimmer than b100 it just fits under some of my cuffs. Let me read your other comments. PS check out my Rolex playlist. I have the Ex 2 Polar its amazing. And that Explorer was on my list then they shrunk it. So fingers crossed for return of the 39mm. Seeing 3 6 9 12 is cool especially lumed
I lost my GGB100, really loved it. Probably will get these new GWG-2000 ones. The only issue I had with GGB100 was the bands were not very comfortable, wonder if its any better in the new GWG-2000 ones?
It seems very comfy to me
Thanks for popping by let me know if you get this one
I also found the GGB100 strap to not be very comfortable. I’m getting a 2000 soon, so, if you don’t already have one, remind me and I’ll give you an update.
@@TheSH1N1GAM1 hiya yes I kept the 2000 and returned the 100 I'd agree the 100 wasn't so comfy but 2000 very comfy and I don't wear it tight quite loose in fact and find it sits well on my wrist (7")
Definitely let me know your thoughts though
@@wildaboutwatches I am finding exactly the same thing to be true. Hope Ehsan got hands on the 2000!
@@wildaboutwatches What excuse did you use to return the 100? Which store was it and did you get a refund or credit?
Witch would I chose well not sure about the 2000 have the mudmaster 100 and the GWG mudmaster 1000 1A3 both great casios 👍
You're doing well with both. Do you use both similar amount of time.
No need to get 2000 if have 1000. It's a shame they didn't add something to it like step counter or something. Still very nice watch.
I have a Rangeman and I love it but honestly I don't wear it that much because its so bloody thick even at 17mm. I tend to bump it into things. Namely doorways. I find the 2000 a hell of allot more attractive because they've slimmed it down. At 14.6mm they are approaching Protrek territory and that's fantastic. The new Protrek Prw-60s are thinner and smaller in diameter and so much easier to wear and I hope that's something Casio is paying more attention to on their product lines now. I think the sweet spot for their outdoor watches should be 10-14mm thick unless its something like a Frogman where that depth rating is more important than anything.
@@loganholmberg2295 the b100 is like a tower block on wrist vs 2000 lol
Thanks for commenting.
I've really enjoyed your contribution. I'll learn from such as you taking time to comment
So which should I get??
GWG 1000 is on sale for $600 in US . GB100 is on sale for $263 . What you recommend?
Go for the GG B100 and save a fortune. I'm doing a video on why I'd do the other way around and this way but for the average person b100 makes sense
Just bare in mind it's half a cm higher but still built like a brick s..t house so save your money get b100
Let me know what you do please be great to hear. Thanks for stopping by
I have the GGB 100. Its fantastic. Only issue i think i might face is when the battery runs out. Will send it to casio service center to get it changed. But outside of that, features wise, its absolutely wonderful and much cheaper compared to GWG 1k or 2k. Also, am pretty sure, casio service center isnt going to charge me 300 dollars extra just for a battery change.
Thanks again for another awesome video!
Pleasure thank you for watching
Hi, how has your GG B100 held up without sapphire glass? Really like them but worried it would scratch easy. And great comparison video
I hear they can scratch but realistically it's not that likely I'd imagine on probability. I don't have this one any more. Thank you so much for watching
Despite my better judgement, I giggled at G-spot.
Im still trying to work out how a baro meter will help you survive, i mean if the temps are going to drop, and cause freezing rain, then that is what the weather is going to do, a baro meter is not going to help 1 bit.
Well actually it will because you'll see it dropping and if drops quickly stop and seek shelter to miss to coming storm. If the baro rises you can pop your head out and get moving looking to avoid the local mammoth 🦣 😉
@@TonyHobbs I err think my skin can detect the changing of the weather.
However it looks like an awesome watch, to me the baro is useless but that is my point of view, it looks like a nice watch, and would do the job very well, in a survival situation.
@@desertsurvival8235 I guess the compass is the most useful for sure and I'd probably choose one the Rolex if the days were ending 😀 go out in style 😀
Great video Tony 👍
Thank you 😊 great to see you as always in comments section
I wair one week and then the other so yes wair them both tony 👍
But you have a point could have added some thing extra yes.
question: does any of these watches have dual (GMT) time function? In other words, when I travel can I set the digital time on f.i. CET and (when I go to the USA) the analog time on US-time?
Yes indeed both do. Please check my video on gwg 2000 functions and how it works 💪 I shot most in the Maldives :) I cover this aspect in detail there. Thank you for stopping by
That's my video on my watch channel wild about watches lol having two channels I reply as other channel occasionally by mistake 😅
I hope someone reply, i just want to know if this two model have the same glass size dimension?
I got the gwg-2000 blackout but after that i stuck with gg-b100 look with its red touch
I want to remove this idea from my mind but i can't
I'm a watches addicted
They do get a bit addictive lol thanks for watching and commenting
@@wildaboutwatches Thanks Master of watches
Great reviews as always
Rather the 2000 any day !
This is not an apples to apples comparison. Comparing the the gwg-1000 to the gwg-2000 would be more valid. You could effectively make this exact video by comparing the ggb100 to the gwg-1000. This here is pointless. At 5:38 You literally say the watch gets the time from your watch. Way to go wunderkind!
Hello its me. Yes I'd agree but I can only use what I have. I don't have a 1000 & just so happened to have the b100. I think if you watch closely you will see a note on the screen with the words "phone" as I believe I spotted that in editing and corrected in post production. If not it should be a simple deduction to deduce I meant phone. We can't all be experts nor get our hands on loads of other watches. But I appreciate the time you took to write your comment. Hopefully you subscribe and support my channel moving forward with constructive criticism ;)
Regarding way to go, most definitely I'll carry on having fun here on TH-cam thank you for your kind words 😊
Is the bezel bronze or silver finish on the gwg 2000, its hard to tell from the videos or pictures of it
Thats weird. The 2000 seems to have the exact same display as my Protrek Prw-6600Y-1A9CR and the B100 has the same display as my Protrek PRT-B70-2CR (I wanted to try a casino fishing watch with Bluetooth) ... I wonder if it has something to do with the watches being solar or not as the Prw-6600 is solar and the Prt-B70 I picked was a fantastic bargin under MSRP on Amazon despite it being battery operated. The battery operated LCD watches have allot more pixels and can display more info and the solar watches have less info but a green color to the LCD....I wonder if the solar LCD is less of a power drain but on I high end gshock I would like to have more pixels. Well I guess without the need to display info from the Bluetooth app you don't necessarily need more pixels. Hmm.
The 2000 shows less barometric options than the b100 could that be to save power? Mr Rangeman did a good video on solar vs none. It is handy though and will many people realistically use all solar battery power?
Thank you for such detailed comment. I have another video on the innards to follow (more software related)
Nice review 👌
Thank you very much
Are the straps interchangeable?
GWG2000 es triple senser esta mas trabajado tiene mas detalles obvio es mas nuevo. GG B100 es quedsensor es un poquito mas simple en su estructura y detalles. Son muy similares ambos son muy buenos son solo algunas funciones que los separa es cosa cde gustos. Yo me quedo con GG B 100.

Sir it’s written Japan mov’t H cased in Thailand what’s the meaning !
I think it means the components are assembled in Japan ie the digital bit is all put together in Japan then its sent to Thailand to put the actual movement in the case and add buttons etc etc
@@wildaboutwatches thank you for your answer sir and I like a lot it Channel so what you thing it’s a good watch like the gwg 1000 ?
nice pair!! :D
Ooh matron
wow🤙
There's no bias here, is there? 🤨
Hello that is why I did a specific video on getting the GG b100 .... check it out
But unfortunately imo I find the GWG 2000 a much better watch and had to returnmy 100 indeed I trued a second which is similar and didn't get on with that either.
Does the carbon scratch easily?
Not noticed so far yet tbh
Nope. took my ggb to the Himalayas and i dont notice any damage or scratch.
Riiggghhhhttttttt.......
