I just received mine, 3 days ago (2nd August 2019). Since then I learned what joy is.
I read the manual 2 times, I learned all the functions and from now on this watch will be with me forever. I am an iced water diver (WHM practitioner) and I already dived with this baby 3 times, 1 meter deep in frozen water. The timer works perfectly underwater and it rings! The radio signal adjusts the time and the BACKLIGHT is probably one of the best among the GShocks.
Please do yourself a favour and DON'T waste your time, money, nerves and battery on the negative display one (7900b).
Regards for the review!
I see the WHM is gaining recognition
@Malik Martin Thanks. Usually I said until lockdown that is my lifestyle. Now I say the truth, it is my life-keeping.
@@Dhruvnater456 You are late. It gained recognition when WH founded the WH Academy. Now it's exploding.
I have some problem to decide if to buy it or no. Actually now I’m wearing the gwm5610 and I don’t know if worth it or no .. how tough is .. is true the problems with the screws?
I have used Casio G-Shock watches for scuba diving and everyday wear, ever since 1974. On purpose, while deep diving around 120 feet down in the ocean, I pushed every button several times to see if the watch would malfunction or end up leaking. Out of the three different Casio watches that I have used for scuba diving, I have never had a problem or malfunction. The G-Shock series of Casio watches are practically indestructible and super reliable and durable. Great watch and product Casio. I especially like the price range of Casios, compared to other high dollar diving watches.
Just bought this bad boy! It fits like a glove and looks great! Reading the manual briefly and watching your review, has got me acquainted with all the practical functions on it, thanks!
Thanks for posting the review video for the GW-7900. I have been wearing my brand new GW-7900 on my skinny 6.3" (16cm) wrist for a few days now and have finally figured out how to keep the tail-end of the band from sticking out. A keeper from one of the 22mm rubber diver straps I have laying around was called into action! The 22mm wide rubber keeper was flexible enough that I could slide it up the wider part of the casio strap so that the tail-end of the strap could be kept securely throughout the day. So far it has worked flawlessly for me...
I did the same,all silicons are flexibel, and people cut the bands, so funny
Amazing that you can remember all those functions.
After watching this GW7900 review video and the unboxing video, I have decided to try one on at one of the local department stores. Actually, it was a red G7900 that I was offered to try on as they did not carry the GW version. I was pleasantly surprised at how why the watch sits on my skinny 6.25" (just under 16 cm) wrist. The two "wings" underneath the band really helped to keep the watch from moving around on the wrist. Moreover, it is also not a heavy watch. So, once you have strap it on your wrist, you would hardly notice that you are wearing a large watch.
My new GW7900 with the positive display arrived yesterday from Amazon. It synchronized with the atomic clock radio signals from Fort Collins in Colorado (2200 km away) last night at mid-night. So, the GW7900 is now good to go.
Many thanks for putting together these two videos. Please keep them coming .....
I have had mine for 2 weeks now and love it. I really like a tide and moon graph watch.. Its awesome. Nice video.
Just got mine today, it's a great watch with excellent features. I had the negative display for a day but found the display unreadable so swapped for this version which is so much better.
had this watch for about 4 years now. Absolutely love the thing; the only thing that causes me to sometimes pick a different watch out of my collection is the ability to read the time while on the stopwatch mode- otherwise would have made the perfect workout watch for myself. I rely a lot on the gw b5600 and the rangeman for such circumstances.
You want a g-shock to workout with? try the G-Squad
Very thoughtful review. Merci. Excellent work.
Great review!
ordered one today! cant wait to get it!
Hi mate great TH-cam video on the GW 7900 g shock I've had my eye on this watch for about two months now and I'm still very interested in buying this watch and I think I will order and buy this watch from Amazon UK England plus I like what the watch can do never loses time and it more or less thinks for itself which I think it's good I own a g shock GD 100ms er in military olive green colour I've had the same g shock watch for years and years now and it's still on the same battery from about 8/9 years ago and it also has not losted any time as when I watch the news on the TV it is the exact time and seconds it has not lost a beat. For a GD 100ms er in military olive green colour. But I will be buying the g shock GW 7900 which you have done a great review on. Thank you for going through all the functions I will keep your TH-cam video on this watch just incase I get stuck with any of the functions. Thank you from mark from the UK England
Great video, thank you
Love mine, small compared to my GPRB1000 though! 😂Great channel & a great review.
Best G-Shock Review ever!
I even measured out my wrist size right after watching the video, thought that my wrist is pretty small...well, it isn´t compared to yours^^.
Alessandro, just wanted to tell you that your background music made me re- watch this video many many times :)
Nice review. I have this model, it's my favourite.
I bought one second hand. The negative display one. Perfect condition and it hasn't left my wrist yet.
Im in love for that watch..... Great vídeo... Hug from Portugal
Thanks for watching!
I would give you TWO likes, if I can: one for review itself, and one more -- for that trick with BRACELETS! 👍 Thanks a lot!
Great review. Just wondering is much difference between this watch and the gw 9110? Having trouble deciding which one to get. Thanks
I like the look of this watch and especially the large buttons comapred to the 5610 and 6900.
Me too!
Had this watch for four years now never let me down. One of the decorative face plate screws somehow came off as they unscrew out, bought 1 new replacement off Casio for maybe £2.50 to £5.
You can put the G7900 screws in the GW if you prefer it, they hasn't the problem of come off.
@@Tricromanbut I don’t have the g 7900
Can I find other screws to replace it?
Could well be my next G-Shock, thanks for the great review. This is the watch worn by Michael B. Jordan in the 2021 film 'Without Remorse' too
*_The distinct Home Screen beeps is another reason Casio (not just G-Shocks) are my favorite timepieces. I can leave a particular Mode & revert back to Home simply by pressing Mode & tarry for the high pitch beep that makes me abreast that I’m now back to Home._*
*_Stellar review my man._*
Hi Alessandro! Great video! I have a GW-5610-1ER for over a year now and I like the "retro / square" style and subtle appearance very much. I also like automatic watches like Seiko 5 Sport (SKX) and Orient Ray. The GW-7900 looks also very interesting. My wrist is just a bit bigger than yours, but i think the watch is worth a try! Thanks for your review!
You have a new subscriber! :)
I've had this watch for a couple of years now, but with the negative display. I like it a lot, but kinda hard to read in certain light conditions. I just wish the atomic band radio signal was a bit stronger in Sweden so the syncing works better.
Great review, thanks!
Actually, the GW9110-1 has all the functions of the GW7900, but comes in slightly smaller dimensions. However, it is about $200 USD which is almost twice as expensive as the GW7900!
The name of the channel made me subscribe
Im planning on getting this model tomorrow its a great watch i did have one question tho the watch if from 2010 so does that mean they was all made that year or do they still manufacture this watch?
Hey Alessandro, is it possible to have 24 hour for the world time, and 12 hour for home time? It would be cool as a GMT function for pilots.
Hey Cole, I just checked: it is not possible. When you switch to the 12 hour format, the WT is displayed in 12 hours as well.
Towards the right side of the face, the silver hexagon with the segments going round, what it is that? Looking to buy the watch but just unsure what that bit is.
I think its the seconds display. And every 10 seconds its full and starts again
Can you do a review on the g shock Gulfman G9100 46mm and compare it to the GW 7900 rescue and the GW 6900 for slender wrist. All these watches look simmilar but they are all different sizes.
I just got one of mine.But i found it is little difficult to read the time because the bezel is too high.(compared with GW-M5610
Since the bezel is much higher than the LCD screen,so you have to roll your wrist more to read on almost a 90 degree position.
Besides,the gap between the screen and the glass looks wider than GW-M5610,which makes it harder to read the time.
Wondering it’s my own problem or someone has same experience lol
Cool 😎
Solar powered with nice fat buttons plus Auto DST + Moon & Tide Graph? Sold!
Just ordered one and can’t wait to get it. I plan on putting a NATO strap on mine. Great review.
I bought my WG7900-1 from an individual on EBay. It was missing 4 bezel screws (really threadless plugs), I ordered 4 bezel plugs
from Casios pacparts for $2.50 each not incl shipping costs. I dipped the plugs in Super Glue before remounting. Evidently the 7900
has a habit of the plugs falling out. I have an idea these 4 plugs wont fall out.
Only on the GW-7900, the G-7900 never had a problem with the rivets.
Awesome piece of Horological Hardware........A Gem from Casio......One of the very best G-Shocks you can buy...PERIOD.
Agreed, I prefer the G-7900 though.
This, the G7900 and the GW9400 is all you ever need in a digital watch 😎
Got both, and you are right. Also got 20 other g shocks.... The GG-B100 Mudmaster is amazing too.
I disagree but I know what you mean :-)
Mate please do not cut the strap I have the same problem with one of my Gshock the Rangeman but I guess it is okay...your watch looks awesome on your wrists in my opinion...but I cannot seem to get over the awesomeness of the GW5610 for some reason....nice review...I keep waiting for your videos ...Cheers!!!
There's actually a way to cut the strap it cleanly, without having an odd-looking strap end. That involves some filing :) I'll see, now with cold weather, it might go into hibernation for some time... Thanks for the support, cheers!
No one cuts the strap today, you take same larger silicone strap holder from some cheap strap that goes all the way up and holds the strap at the top
Hello.what do you think of this watch on are 8 inch wrist? is this watch suitable?
The gshock squares are the best gshocks. If I was going for a bigger gshock, I would get something in the 6900 series.
I owned this watch for about 2 or 3 years and wore it but forgot the default factory set timer. usually its 10 mins? but it might have been 24 hours on this watch.
One thing that it’s better on the 5610, you can see time when you’re on the stopwatch (I guess)
When this man said every night the watch sets to 3 am, do I need to change the time every morning or no
I cut the strap on my g-shock as well. Small wrist problems 😂
i think this looks better than the negative display version....negative display looks too dark and hard to read
This Christmas I got my 1st G shpck.
Shock
Where can u buy this watch now? I tried to have one
Hy in my g-shock the 4 parachtus in the front are looses ,this is normal ou noth ?
- Yes, you are not the only. You can buy them in internet. Some people remove the bezel and apply glue from inside.
- Sí, se suelen caer porque están a presión, son estéticos. Puedes comprar repuestos por internet. Para que no se caigan hay gente que quita el bisel y les pone pegamento por dentro.
Which has a smaller diameter? This or the gw-6900?
6900 is smaller and less bulky.
Hi. anyone who has this watch have the problem with the bezel "screws" falling out? i read that some people have that problem, dont know if it is a problem only older models have. thank you
Does anyone know of a way to use seconds on the countdown timer? I have that option on my current g shock and I bought this one to replace it, but I need to have a timer that can be set down to the second, I use this feature dozens of times daily.
You can't. The G(W)-7900 series only allows minutes and hours. If you don't need atomic/solar get a Timex digital. Much easier to configure/set, much better backlight, cheaper too.
Does this watch automatically change time in a different time zone?
Only if you set the the correct city code.
Do u have fb of...i want to bay this midel but i cant find him in germany......i need this model...
There you go amzn.to/2BE5xJF
anyone know if this still has the EL light, or was it downgraded to LED like in the 5610?
Fortunately still EL.
Yeah ! U can make some drop test , crack test ..
What is the “rev” on the top right?
Reverse
I actually own that model and it reminds me of the Seiko watch from metal gear 5
perfect set of functions, and a crisp display, but unfortunately I cannot stomach the fatness of it
This vs the GW 6900-1?
I have a problem, see if an expert can help me. I have my GW-7900 several years ago and it was working perfectly but one day the screen got stuck. It didn't help me to press all the buttons, leave it in the dark for a few days... so I decided to open it and take out what is properly the clock and... It started to work, but without realizing it, a very small spring of a total of 3 springs, came out of the hole where it was embedded. The problem is that there are several holes where it could go and I do not know in which one, anyone knows for sure where it goes?
What spring? The one for the alarm sound?
I think the dw 5900 ❤ I should order it it's going to be discontinued. 😊
A G-Shock for small wrist? Really?? This watch is enormus! :-)
It wears smaller than it looks, most G's do...
u still love until now?
I still love it but it's gone. The comfort (or lack thereof on my small wrist) got the best of me.
What is the what the hell factor?
37 mil SEIKO? A watch that I would have to open up the PDT time and adjusted every day, and shake it around. No thx Those days are gone.Uh
That would fit around my middle finger, it’s a bit small for this day and age, I guess if you’re digging the mini me look
04:20
4 years later and we're still stuck with fuckin DST
Ignore it, I do that for years, screw that darn DST.
5 years later and we're still stuck with DST
Another Tip for dealing with small wrists:
Get bigger wrists
Why is called “rescue “ ?
pretty sure it's marketed towards coast guards/lifeguards
The dw6900 looks to be smaller
It is smaller, not much though.
Esto chingón este reloj me lo regalas?
A cuanto lo vendes parcero?
i brought 10 G-7900 for my bitches
Love my Squares....But my 7900 / 6900 / and GD350 always get more wrist time......Great Video...Thank you.
Its obviously too big for you. Despite the fact its looks funny, watches this big are just impractical and get in the way if you actually do something in the workshop so its not a real "tool" watch. Also its getting colder day by day now and such watches don't like long sleeve, jackets or gloves. In the end it is just an eye catcher.
Use cases and tastes differ, so I understand why it might not work for you. Cheers [EDIT] By the way I totally agree - this watch is *not* for cold weather. Super uncomfortable to wear under any kind of jacket. Way too thick and bulky. This is where my GW-M5610 shines!
That’s what my fw-91 is for hope I got that right I’m new to the G-Shock world lol
GWM5610's lcd is so bad, almost terrible!
All glory and love be to GOD THE FATHER THE SON THE HOLY SPIRIT THE HOLY TRINITY forever and ever amen 💖✝✝✝...
still happy about this watch?
Yes! Rocking it as I type this :)
nice! I bought it some weeks ago, but didnt still get to unbox it as I am not in my country untill next week. I find it very interesting how you enjoy gshocks and automatics at the same time. Enjoying the channel a lot
Thanks man :) And yes, many of us watch enthusiasts like both end of the spectrum. G-Shocks are part the horological history too, so... what's not to like? Cheers
$60 wallmart
This watch is way too large for you. Rather than looking tough, rugged and manly, like you say, it makes you look juvenile.
I just don't get the whole G-Shock thing!
They are tough and rugged because there are no moving parts. It's not really a watch but basically a circuit board with a battery in a massive rubber case.They are really ugly and primitive too.
I've noticed that Americans seem to love them for some strange reason.
I used to think so too. Do a little more research and you might find there is build quality, technology, and practical advantage to these watches. I've had $2000 mech. watch failure that will cost $750 to fix. Also $250 fashion quartz dial watches as gifts, that are cool looking garbage.
cheap, almost indestructible, water resistant, not affected by magnetic fields, cool looking (matter of taste of course).
a LOT of functions. for me the alarms, the hour signal and the backlight have been life changing.
if they are multi band 5/6 they are precise down the second every day without doing anything.
oh and the tough solar ones are basically eternal as long as you don't put them in the dark for months.
ugly and primitive? take a look at the rangeman... they managed to put into it a compass, barometer, altimeter, thermometer, bluetooth and even a GPS!
Don't worry about it. You'd never understand if you aren't a genuine fan of the G Shock line.
**CRAPPY BACK LIGHT = FACT!**
Why are you showing a different watch your live feed is about the Casio watch that's what we want to see we don't care about the Seiko do you people just do it you think you're showing off or something I mean anybody can buy that watch they're so damn cheap it's unbelievable so please get back to the Casio watch
