Thanks a lot.
I'm not shocked by the price. I'm shocked by how much I want one. Must be that I'm an eighties kid.
Yes yes yeeeeessss
I’m a Gen Z and would totally finesse for one😍
@@Gorilla1416 that’s such a tough question. Not sure I can choose.
I remember as a kid I thought digital watch were the coolest. I super wanted one. This watch is what I thought a digital watch was as a kid.
@@Gorilla1416 Pls go for the black one you wouldn’t be disappointed
I picked up the bare titanium version a few days ago and can attest to the amazing build quality and finishing. It has more engineering in it than most 10k Swiss watches and finished to an even higher standard than some of the Swiss offerings. It is by the most comfortable bracelet watch Ive ever worn. Very lightweight yet solid feeling. The titanium alloys used to make it are on another level compared to the "regular" ti model which is an awesome watch as well. It needs to be handled in person in order to be appreciated!
Totally agree. I’m actually a bit sad I don’t buy it from the owner when I had a chance 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
@@DirkWerning please don’t be sad. There will be a new model coming next year.
@@Kwntum oh for sure. There’s always another watch lol.
@@DirkWerning I could resist now in process to pull the trigger. But May sleep on it to night
Lol bro these watches are nice… but the engineering is not on the level of a 10k mechanical watch. Most 10k mechanical watches have in house made mechanical movements with 100s of moving pieces. This is basically the same module as the other squares with a very nicely polished and finished titanium case/bracelet
I think the biggest issue is that, watch snobs will know what it is, and wonder why you didn't buy something else for the money, and anyone else will think you're wearing a $50 watch....
I get that.
But if you have this I'd venture to say you have other high end pieces as well.
I bought this MR-G B5000 Black version, and I also have an MR-G B2000B "Ninja" and a couple of Grand Seiko's.
Wear what I like, when I like 😊
This price range doesn’t get you much when it comes to Swiss watches, might as well go G shock 😂
@@TECHFIGHTER Yeap, like me!
Wow. That is a beautiful watch. I love how they polished it. Unfortunately it’s to steep for me. But it’s definitely a beautiful watch. Thanks for making the video
Certainly not for everyone but just had to share was super excited to be able to check it out.
Glad to find your channel. I'm a RR fan and Square fan so this is right up my alley. Also my grail watch is the other one you showed, the GMWB5000TB. aka the OG stealth wealth.
Thanks for stopping by.
The positive is that these new MR-G B5000 are precious in their designs and quality of finishes... the negative: I do not justify paying 3,500 or 4,000 for a mobile phone slave watch (Bluetooth) that is not capable of giving us the status on its own. of the battery if it is not for the happy Phone App, and of course the one that does not have a GPS penalizes it until the decision not to acquire the model... I have been with Casio for more than 30 years and very satisfied with the MR-G G1000D for carry GPS and battery status in the mobile itself, and even the MR-G G2000 that was Tri-Format with GPS... I see it very expensive for those shortcomings
greetings, great video 🙌
Great points. I still think it’s a great watch and would possibly add to my collection still. 🤷🏼♂️
Can't wait for the titanium kits from Ali-express.
My dream watch. Back in early 80"s I got a $20 Casio. Wore it for years. Now that I'm between jobs, the gray-titanium version will be my last one. Unemployed, so it'll be a while. Nice TH-cam post though.
@@jpillera thanks fir watching. Good luck with the job search.
Very cool. I trust when you say you can feel the difference in quality. It doesn’t translate on camera, but I know that feeling. I don’t really care about the price mostly bc I’m not going to get one anyway. Thanks for sharing!
I'm doing well with Titanium watches at the moment...
I bought the MRG-B5000 Black version in uk today 🇬🇧... will arrive tomorrow.
Already got the MRG-B2000 Black "Ninja" in titanium
... and a Grand Seiko "Snowflake" titanium
... and a Grand Seiko "Tentagraph" titanium
I'm developing a theme
Oh that’s awesome man. Congrats.
Love the vid., and especially appreciate that your TB is no shelf queen! Scuffs and all!
All I can do is hope they bring that finishing style and that piece bezel to the steel versions.
As I am watching your video. It is 9:04pm est....lol....I just purchased the GMW B5000D-1 on July 5th and it's my first metal square. I've had so many GShocks but none as nice as the GMW. I have been using the GSTS110 since 2016 on a daily basis because it's solar powered and it's a beast of a watch. Since I got this GMW b5000d-1 I have fallen in love with the square face style. I bought this watch because I wanted something that can be dressed up or down and because I won some Amazon Gift Cards worth $160 so I bought the watch but it was only $380 so it wasn't too bad since I got it for around $200 after the gift cards.
@@boots_4_me very nice. Congrats.
That lock is on there for thieves that steal watches off wrist. It makes it harder for them to take off the wrist. 😊
😂😂😂
I hope they’ll include the GPS time sync feature in future releases.
I have the “full metal” version. I’d say this titanium is worth it. I spent $6k on a titanium planet ocean. This in titanium is worth the money.
Absolutely agree. Thanks.
I wear a ceramic Planet Ocean most days myself 😉
Definitely a great looking watch. Great video 👍
The ultimate stelth wealth is to get a mrg-5000 and mod it to remove the mrg logo.
Ahhh noce
I got the black version MR-G $4000 😭 tomorrow will arrive hope is worth it
Please post and let us know your thoughts.
So what happened? ... did you like it?
Mine arrives tomorrow... MRG-B5000 Black
Seems like “Jerry “ has been sending this watch to a lot of channels 🧐🤔
After I borrowed it he sent and ended up selling it yo another channel soon after this video.
the one on the combi bracelet looks the best
I do like the red/black.
The lock on the bracelet isn’t to stop it accidentally coming undone it’s to stop it being stolen off your wrist, great idea.
Ahhh either way.
@@DirkWerning yeah true 👍🏻
@@TeddyBoy7796 thanks for watching.
Great video, thanks for sharing! 👍
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Great review Dirk. I love this classic Gshocks. On the wishlist is a titanium
Tempted to pick up the 5610 and buy a plain titanium kit to put on it. 😂
That’s not a bad way to go either.
Well … I think it’s awesome 😎… 3500 good? As you mentioned that watch is definitely for someone.. I’m probably just gonna stick with my titanium G I have but .. not gonna lie… that’s pretty cool
It’s totally cool and I’m sure there are deals to be made and if you could snag one in the 2500 ish range…..🎉🎉
Stealth Wealth is right ! NOICE !!
Indeed lol
Exactly! This watch is for those humble collectors who dont want to be labeled as the “yes, i have the money!” guy in the room with either a a Rolex, GS, Panerai, etc on his wrist.
Nice watch and video, but imho B5000-TVA ftw 😀
-Hate to be that guy but the first MRG square was the MRG 110T from the late 90's. Was a full titanium watch like this but of a softer grade and didnt have a coating on it.
No that’s great info. I didn’t know that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Great watch, but the cobarium bezel can scratch easily
For me personally a watch with a hefty price of $3500 or $4000 has to feel in my hands as if that's what I paid and a big part of that is the weight and titanium although is a premium metal does not give me that premium feel as steel does if G-shock comes out with a steel version of the mrg b5000 I would buy one but anyways nice review and thanks for sharing
I get your thoughts BUT my ceramic Omega Planet Ocean is double plus this price and about as light weight 🤷🏼♂️ so can’t always judge a book by it’s cover.
I don't know if 1 year later is too late for an answer to your comment, but there's actually a steel G-Shock very similar to the one shown on this video. It's the GMW-B5000D model, and it costs around 500 bucks.
Nope you're not late and yes I know about those steel g-shock I am a fan of those I have several of them I just hope that casio comes up with a steel version of the mrg square, since I love heavy watches but who knows
Picking up mine next week. Thanks for helping me with the decision.
That’s awesome. Sorry I missed the comment previously. Sooooo how do you like it????
Can I ask, the GMW-B5000TB-1DR titanium on the right in this video appears to have some very minor wear marks, perhaps it is the light? or is it just the rubbing of the DLC coating? it is very minor but thought I would ask?
I think it’s just the lighting really. I don’t have either in my collection so can’t confirm but I do not recall and ‘damage’ on either.
Probably just fingerprints or smudges that you're seeing. The bracelet wasn't sized, so it must not have been worn yet.
@@bloodymarvelous4790 ah yes smudges will do that I do understand.
they didn't make MRG regularly
if you keep that watch in good condition, after couple of decade it can be most expensive quartz watch
Agreed it could be an investment piece MAYBE 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I actually prefer the TVA, although it's a bit older... Casio seems to have plateaued in terms of quartz module, so they are just playing around with the metal cases and bracelets
Oh I totally agree with you there. The modules are about as far as they can go.
This raises and interesting question: Are there specific features/functions you’d like to see in the quartz modules?
@@unworthyServant08 I’m not sure there’s anything else I would ‘need’. I don’t use anything but the standard time feature anyway 🤷🏼♂️😂😂
@@unworthyServant08 Not really... $300 Casio watches have all the major features already. It's hard for G Shock to go upscale and sell the same watches for 50x the price. New metal cases and Samurai stuff are cool, but get old quickly.
Just as brand names mechanical watches are just playing around with dial face designs & bracelets while offering 2-3 feature like dates, lumes, GMT or Diver bezel. So I think there's nothing wrong with CASIO playing around with cases & bracelets while standardizing their module.
I really Enjoyed This Video Mate
Thank you much appreciated
What an amazing casios! a hug strong from spain xD
Thanks for watching and all the way from Spain. Very much appreciate it.
Hey, im a parcel postman, i have the regular all stainless steel version, just wanted to mention the clasp has unlocked on mine by itself a handful of time, luckily didnt fell from my wrist,
So i think the lock is a really useful feature.
That’s great info. Thanks for sharing. I’ve not heard of that issue before but good to know it’s a possibility.
i got also a full metal GMWB5000, the clasp NEVER opened unintended... bring it to check up - there must be something wrong with your bracelet...
My favorite is the 5000TVA. I call it the G-Gundam
That’s a cool one but I didn’t care for all the parts labeling lol.
At first it looked like you were demonstrating a dryer outlet against a black background
Ha yea I’ve been thinking of changing the background.
What is the model of the black one? Cheers.
this is a great review.
Thanks so much. Very much appreciate it.
Can't decide between this one and the black DLC one? The black DLC one looks awesome but it is too shiny-far too shiny for stealth wealth. I like the bare titanium look of this one but know that it will scratch easier.
I don’t think it’s going to show scratches that much at all. The titanium is super tough and coated to resist scratches. My other black titanium square I own after owning for awhile and worn it and previous owner wearing it. It looks brand new still.
In fact the owner of this MRG has it for sale at a great price if you’re interested email me.
@@DirkWerning how much?
@@benohanlon shoot me an email I’ll need to check if he sold yet or not.
Kid yourself not, the TB is untouchable, it was meant to be and will remain to be so! NO MATTER WHO COMES ALONG😆
they should rename this watch to "the over compensator"
Haha you’re not wrong.
For $3,500.00, I could get at least 25 GW-M5610Us even though they have resin instead of Titanium. It just isn't justified from a practical perspective.
I agree Casio isn’t giving their usual bang for buck, at all, on this one.
no luxury (high end) watches are practical or affordable to most. GW-M5610Us is a tool watch, these ones are more of an expression to show what is possible. A mix of both art and design. Not to say you couldn't wear these in combat, for example, you just would be mad to do so
Luxury watches are NOT meant to be practical. No luxury items are.
@@DirkWerning I'm here to counter the irrationality and lust for luxury with practicality using that comparison.
@@kingoftherobots I understand the idea but sometimes a luxury watch seems justified in price say for example the grand seiko spring drive and other times not as much. To me this watch has less functionality than my 6 year old rangeman with a nice finish for 3500?
Sure thing
Cool video but the comparison is not totally fair because you're comparing the silver with the DLC coated piece instead of having the black DLC coated MRG compared to the TB.
Oh I agree it’s a little different but you get the idea.
Just wow
Yep it’s pretty sweet.
Damn I can’t believe they have to have all that gear on just to make a watch.
Casios are usually worth their money but what exactly does thisone so expensive?
It’s just the full titanium and built on the precision G assembly line. The fit and finish is incredible. But totally get this is really for the hardcore collector not the general user.
My only problem with Japanese watches in general is the names they choose for their lines of watches. They sound so childish and "unsexy"
@@Alejosales hmmm
So how much would you pay for that titanium $3500 watch ?
Me personally…I sort of kick myself for not buying that one when I had the chance. It’s just so cool.
Is it $3500 cool to me??? Maybe not but I would have easily spent $2-2500 for it 🤷🏼♂️
Great video; many thanks. Yeah, I love and have been considering the MR-G for all the wonderful reasons you mentioned...but I mean that price...that's more than a Grand Seiko 9F HAQ, more than The Citizen Chronomaster HAQ with quite finely zaratsu polished super titanium (which I own), and more than an Omega Aqua Terra in Quartz...and with pins and collars on the bracelet...sorry G-Shock, I'm rooting for you and want you to play with the big boys in luxury, and would gladly pay like $2500 or even $3000 for that MR-G, but not $4k for the black version...you're just not all the way there at that price. If the bracelet at least had screws I'd probably be able to get there.
I totally get you. ALL great points. These are geared more towards the g-shock collector for sure. It’s a crazy amount of money for a Casio lolol yet here we are lolol.
And I think I want one still 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Yeah totally, agreed that's for the true G-Shock collector. I'm a big fan for sure (own three), but can't get all the way there on this one over like another Omega or the like...but yeah I still want one too! Really sweet watch, no doubt about it.
@@loganoftherockies9453 yep.
Worth the money 💰 still have my old solar Gshock from the 90s
I am…. There is no way I can afford this thing. I love G-SHOCK but Im just a normal workerguy
Wow! That price though! I'd get an Oceanus instead.
The Oceanus is built in the same assembly line at this one. So you’re really getting the same quality and craftsmanship. All depends on the look you want. Can’t go wrong with either.
Negative dial looks better
You would have to be into your chemicals and materials and engineering to appreciate this, in terms of pure looks I think the MR-G logo makes it look worse tbh. I would buy regular models even if I had the money.
I get that. Thus one I think is really geared towards the collectors not the average user.
I’m so jellllllllyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Well this one is now for sale by the owner. Email me if you are interested.
Stealth wealth or 'a fool and his money is easily parted' ?
Meh I don’t see it that way but okay.
@@DirkWerning It wasn't meant to make fun of anyone, but it was meant to give the mind something to think about.
$3.500- for a quartz watch. 😮
Yep lol.
Is it worth it????
@@DirkWerning Personally, the max price that I'm willing to pay for a quartz is $600-. So not worth it for me.
@@MrPleers it’s not for everyone for sure. I sent it back to the owner but truth be told….I wish I would have bought it from him 🤷🏼♂️
Check how much a fp journe quartz costs
A Citzen titanium eco drive can cost you 5% of this Casio price.
Agreed
This watch has unfortunally a quality problem, with it falling apart. Pieces falling off.
I’ve not seen or heard that.
I've seen so many videos, read forums, read reviews etc for the last few months and not once have I heard of parts falling off.
I have to stop watching all these MR-G B5000 review/overview videos. My wallet is cringing like hell right now.
Haha sorry not sorry
$3,500 for a bracelet.
And a case lol.
@@DirkWerning and a watch.
It's not square .... is rectangular !!!
Lol technically you are correct.
I'm not even gunna watch crap about a $3500 watch...ridiculous and pointless for a normal human. Thx, but hell nah!
Well thanks for your thoughts I appreciate all feedback. Granted this one’s not for everyone.
2$ movement with a $3500 case and bracelet, 😂😂😂
a $100 watch for $3500..............
Not even close to $100 watch but to each their own.
Absolutely ridiculous pricing and I hope it fails due to that fact.
I think it did pretty well.
Thanks for watching. Really appreciate the interaction.
@@DirkWerning retaded if it did well, but then again, the watch market as a whole is inflated as fuck.
Box is totally crap and really out of place for this watch...what design language is spoken when talking expensive squares? Piano lack box? C'mon....Casio...
🤦♂️
Stopped watching when the SKULL showed up. Maybe next time. Bye.
WTF
Thanks for watching that far at least 😉
You scared Mike?🤣
