I read in one review of this watch that their signals are so quiet that it makes alarms and other signals practically useless. If this is true, then for me it is a huge disappointment, and I will cancel the acquisition of these seemingly ideal watches.
Just bought one last October and have worn it practically everyday for half a year now though i have to say it sometimes is annoyingly heavy, but def enjoy wearing it. Also, you'd be surprised the attention it gets and is also a conversation starter. I totally forgot my other swiss watches.
I a tually enjoy the weight. Most of my autos are divers that are substantial. I like that feeling! My first decent wt h was a 🤨Ball Diver on a SS bracelet. On the way home, I thought “I’ll never get accustomed to something this heavy.” The next day, By the next day, I never noticed the weight again.
What a legendary piece. My first watch ever, over 45 years ago was Casio digital square. Old school version of this masterpiece and did I love it so much. Even though I have Gshock steel and a white gas100 as well. I will be adding this to my collection asap. My swiss watches are in danger of being banished if necessary in order to fit this one in to the collection box. Love love love it!!
Just bought one. £375 new from an online jewellery retailer. They’re up used for about £340 but you always run the risk of buying a modded one, rather than the original. Very thorough review. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Yet another reason not to wear my Seamaster Pro.
Also check the gmw b5000 jf1 still available from Japan. Actually looks alright on the rubber strap with the inverse display and you can always get the bracelet later. Got it for 280 not arrived yet so tax might be 50 but who nose I may be lucky. Never owned an inverse display before but this one looks really crisp.
A year later in Australia I just bought one for 800$ lovely watch I’ve got two black squares one with red accents negative displays and the combi bracelets love em
Just picked up one from eBay seller yesterday. I have been a Casio G shock lover for over 3 decades, but last many years, I have not bought much of G shock because I have been buying different Automatic & Manual watches. But few days ago, I came across your review of this watch!!!! And then, I fell in love again with G shock. It is COMFORTABLE!!!! and very solidly Made in Japan. Everything is done just about perfect, so I have not much to complain about. Great size. bracelet is so comfortable and I love the "sizing of the bracelet". Casio used small spring bars for the links. Easy to take few off. EL light is great and specially I can get 4 seconds, rather than 2 seconds. Besides limited functions of this G shock which I do not mind so much and being 35 years anniversary model, I guess they had to make the function kind of same as the original one. I have couple of gripes on this. Small ones. The alarm sound is too weak (maybe I am losing my hearing???) for my taste. Secondly, it is bit too much "bling bling" shinny. (I got the silver one and kind of glad that I did not go for the gold one. That would have been too much.. I think) But besides that, it is a perfect G shock anniversary watch. I have not really worn digital watch for a very very long time (exception of fitness trackers), but now I am in love with G shock again. thanks for your wonderful review, Don.
Just got one with a 50% discount as part of the 40th anniversary of gshock. My first gshock lol. Always liked it but it was way to expensive (550-650€ in local stores).. had it for a good week and love it! Isn't as heavy on the hamd as i thought it would be. Great watch.
$376 is a good price. Yeah they have finally come down in price after almost 6 years! lol the sapphire titanium models are still crazy expensive though.
Hi, thanks for the video. Lovely looking watch. Always liked metal g shocks. I like how it can find your mobile phone. When you compare this watch to the MRG B5000D-1 I think your watch is a far better option, a lot kinder on the wallet too. Still available in Australia for AUD $900.
7:50 Nope.. they do NOT use Friction pins .. there are some well made spring bars in there so its a breeze to resize.. can do with just a thumb tack... Oh and even in Aug 2022, man this watch is just the top of my collection comprising of Tudor and Tissot and Seikos and G-Shocks and even 4 apple watches that I have owned (and disposed). In regions where the atomic signal is not available, the bluetooth is a very clever way of ensuring a worry-free upkeep of accurate time and yes, I agree a 100%, that FIND MY PHONE is so useful when you are rushing out of the house for making it in time to your kids' tuitions and classes and can't find your mobile to grab.... And may I also share, that I have to bluetooth casio squares - one this all metal and another resin Midnight Green, and my phone manages to update both of them seamlessly usually within 2 mins of each other - at least 2 times a day without any issues... so that G-Shock connected app at least on iOS manages multiple connected watches very very well....
Love this watch. I love how a G Shock can be blingy and outrageous but it just gets away with it! Torn between this and the all black. I like the negative display on the all black... Decisions decisions.
you should try one of the resin models on the combi bracelet! they are cheaper and so nice! i own the GW-M5610BC-1 and its an amazing do anything, go anywhere kind of watch that you set and forget
It's the first ever square that is in full metal and has Bluetooth time keeping. I live outside the coverage of the radio frequency so it's good news for me
Hard On Phone Battery will Drain Your Cell Battery Also Even Worse it'll Quickly Dry Up The Chemicals In Your Cell Phone Battery in Just a Few Months, IT'll Stop holding a Good Charge Anymore,, BECAUSE The G-Shock Phone App Is On Constantly And Constantly Transmitting a Bluetooth Radio Signal Pulling Down Your Charge And Besides... Digital Clock Don't Need All The Atomic Hype Because They are Already So Dam Accurate Besides i Also Like Setting my Watches & Clocks 3 Minutes Ahead,..It Helps Keep My Ass from Being Late :- :-)
is it worth 500 bucks? no. but then you go on to tell us how love everything about it. I say the want factor and how much you enjoy your purchase out weighs simple comparisons to other watches that are similar in function but a lower price.
Interestingly, this stainless one is not a limited edition, but just limited in production or distribution right now. The gold one is limited and marked as such and is $600. I said in video I feel it is overpriced but the more I wear it I realize it is made very well and is a solar and connected watch, so not just a basic digital. I’ve heard Macy’s and some other places discounting them and if you can find one you can get it for $375.
Jorn Navarre ur very right. I have seen a lot of g shocks that are over 150.00 and they all do the same thing. Just trash for that price. The gold n black ones look very beautiful but u could barely tell the time. And the illuminator on it just doesn’t look or feel like 150.00. But next week I will buy 2 of them, in different flavors of course.
I can. Why? Because I can. While I love it and it’s popular, I still feel it’s overpriced. Just because something is overpriced (lots of things are), doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them. For me, $350 would have been a more comfortable price for what it is.
im allergic to high sales prices. i mean, who the hell sets these prices so high in the first place. gshock was so punk anti rich boy at first, now they wanna go all fancy yuppie style on us. i wear the 5600 and it is what a g shock is all about. when IBE dropped his fancy watch he basically went samurai mad scientist and created the excalibur of fucking watches. too bad these marketing assholes are ruining the prices for the general population of g shock fans. eat the rich!
Is this watch worthy $500? Yes. Clearly. Look at the demand in the resale market. When a watch sells for more second hand than it does new from the shop - There's very little reason not to buy if you want. If you can find one. You're not going to lose money, so why not?
Follow Up: I was at the King of Prussia Mall in PA on 6/16/18. I went to both locations of Time After Time Watches, neither had either of the full metal G-Shocks. I did put my name on a waiting list. Also went to the Macy’s, Zumiez, and other stores at this mall that carry G-Shocks: no joy anywhere.
Yeah, they are in demand there and they are hard to get everywhere. They should be getting some next week. Did they direct you to the G shock pop up store on lower level? In a few months they will probably be available everywhere. It’s a marketing tactic by Casio to create demand as the silver model isn’t limited.
i Haven't Misplaced My Cell Phone in Years?? AND Besides These Days When You Forget Where Your Phone IS ... Someone Else Will Beat Your Watch @ Finding IT FIRSTTTT LOL
How big does this wear, say compared to a 40mm sub? I’ve never owned a digital watch but I really like the look of this. The dimensions are daunting, 40mm is my usual limit.
It wears small. It’s not what one would consider a large watch. I mean, it’s a men’s watch but I’ve seen many with 6.5 and 7 inch wrists wear it no problem.
No idea if you are trolling-but in case you aren’t- 1. Please don’t say poopied, at least not here on this channel. 2. I assumed you were a child at first because of the aforementioned word, but then you said crashed. Now, I guess you could have been watching this review while on a bike, but if not you were watching this while driving? While I want everyone to watch these reviews as much as possible, I don’t want anyone doing so while driving, not even a Tesla. 3. The dog is a toy poodle, so it shouldn’t have scared you to the point of defecating yourself. Wash yourself and have a great week! 👍
I was wondering if where the pins connect to the bracelet if it is plastic? I had a G Shock Rangeman break from a soccer ball where the pins enter the plastic so now I don't want to buy another G Shock. If this is solid metal then I may try it.
Don’t believe their will be any changes than what it is and the different finishes-(it comes in a DLC version, gold plated, rubber strap versions and two titanium versions) that are currently available. I doubt we will see any new versions or a revamped version this year. What improvements do you think they should make?
WR What do you Mean by the Case Back IS ""DLC""? Also Did yours Come With a Clear Transparent Peel Off Plastic Scratch Protection On the REAR Watch Cover Itself? THANKS IN Advance

That'd Be Nice.. $500.00 For a Watch You Cant SEE? :- LOL You Then Could Use a Cell Phone That'll Locate Your Misplaced.. $500.00 MATT BLACK G-Shock?? That Someone ELSE Already Found First :- :LOL
Thank you for the review. Where you bought this at the King of Prussia Mall, did the salesperson indicate if they would have more of these in stock, or was your impression that once they sold out, that was it?
Stephen Wolf they should be getting some more. So look up the location and number and give them a call. I have the number if you want to email me or message me on Instagram
Thank you. I looked online for the Time After Time store at the K o P Mall; they have hours and phone number, etc. However, when I searched for the GMW-B5000D (and variations) there were no matches. I'll call them to be sure.
this one is not 35th anniversary, it'll be in regular production. only the gold and black dlc ones are first batch of full-metal 35th anniversary, and their casebacks show the 35th logo.
Anthony Yau well, yes and no, these are 35th anniversary ones as they are the same as the gold and released for the 35th but correct they are not limited editions. They are hard to find though.
You need to use the app to check the battery level annoyingly man, still but a small price to pay cause once it's fully charged you would really need to go full vampire to drain it .
The limited edition gold one has a different case back. There is now an updated gold model as well as an all black one. The actual limited edition models have a different case back.
it looks so much better on a larger wrist, my wrist is only 6 1/3 inches, and since the first link doesnt flex it looks a bit too big on me. but since its a g shock it'll still wear it.
MrLoughneagh you mean the metal case with the rubber strap version ? Probably not. At that point I would just probably get the standard all resin version as part of the appeal with this model is the All Metal case and bracelet.
Being honest, I am not a G-Shock aficionado by any means. I bought this one for multiple reasons, but as I said in video, for many years I wore a G-SHOCK in kitchens but they were mostly $80-100 models I bought at mall or Macy’s etc. There are sooo many models of G-SHOCK out there, just take a look at their website and find the one that’s right for you.
Thank u for the feedback. Casio Singpore and Malaysia has listed this watch in the standard digital category and the gold one in the Limited edition. Hope this will be available easily in stores soon line a standard g shock release. Any new abt it? Here is the link . www.casio-intl.com/sg/en/wat/watch_detail/GMW-B5000D-1/
Thank you !! & I really liked the honest review & I fully agree with ur pt on the price factor. Hope it will come down to 300 USD range in near future being a standard model. Looking fwd for more reviews !!
if you don't mind wearing handcuffs. i mean thats what it felt like as heavy as it is. i like my 5600. its light and geta the job done. not to mention affordable
saw one and it was the weight that turned me off. it was heavier than my seiko 007 on bracelet. not only that but it is too expensive for a so called beater watch
Well, where did you order from? If you ordered from a reputable source/site you should be ok. If ordered from eBay or another sales app type deal, you may be taking a chance.
@@watchreport from not so popular online store in India. All colors are still available from several online stores. Maybe they’re the last pieces of production. Let’s see. I’ll definitely return it if its fake
I am a fan of G-Shock steel watches BUT, I am not a fan of digital versions. So, I will put my money on the analog stainless steel G-Shock GST S110 or the twisted steel MTG-S1000D.
Paul Leather Black steel version is limited but out there. $800-$1000 at retail, if you were even able to find it. Also a steel one on rubber with a reverse display.
@@watchreport I think they could sell a couple thousands more. I mainly see this watch as an item for retro freaks, so I don't get the Bluetooth function.
The GMW-B500 is the entire series. The one I show in the video, as I have listed in the description is the GMW-B5000D-1. world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/origin/gmw-b5000/
I don't get it ? You can buy the gw-b5600bc for 130GBP then put it in the same case and strap for 115GBP. Then you've got the exact same watch for about 200GBP less??? Makes no sense
but gw-b5600bc is not metal or as elegant. No doubt this all metal version looks and feels more premium on your wrist. And if you happen to have gotten the limited edition versions, it holds value very well and feels good knowing that you are wearing something that is unique.
I read in one review of this watch that their signals are so quiet that it makes alarms and other signals practically useless. If this is true, then for me it is a huge disappointment, and I will cancel the acquisition of these seemingly ideal watches.
It's not nostalgia. It's a taste for good, proportional design. This type of watch is timeless.

Awesome deal!!
I picked one up for $376 on Amazon. Maybe I just waited long enough for the initial craze to wear down. I qbsolutely love this watch!
$376 is a good price. Yeah they have finally come down in price after almost 6 years! lol the sapphire titanium models are still crazy expensive though.
G-Don, everyone should have one!
Just bought the silver half metal. Absolutely love it Ty.
It still looks dope after so many years and using the Bluetooth part to find the phone instead genius 😂👍🏻
Don't listen to the haters any gshock worth it no matter the price

One big difference is the screwback. This adds a lot of quality and value to a watch. To me personally it's totally worth it.
Casio can’t get away with daft prices like Swiss brands. If it costs $500, then that’s the price they need to sell it at to make their normal margins.
Mine doesn't use friction pins, it has spring bars in the bracelet.
Great review thanks. Got it. Love it. Get it
You can't say it's not worth $500, then say that you absolutely love it and people are paying well over MSRP on the secondary market.
I can. Why? Because I can. While I love it and it’s popular, I still feel it’s overpriced. Just because something is overpriced (lots of things are), doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them. For me, $350 would have been a more comfortable price for what it is.

Thank you. I looked online for the Time After Time store at the K o P Mall; they have hours and phone number, etc. However, when I searched for the GMW-B5000D (and variations) there were no matches. I'll call them to be sure.
Good review
Lovely watch. Is it saphire glass?
No
Chris in FPV
Tourbillon?
Can u remove the radio sync?
No
Does this watch vibrate for alarms when u want the watch silent
It does not.
But it’s not worth the money right??lol I just got mines and I’m in love
this one is not 35th anniversary, it'll be in regular production. only the gold and black dlc ones are first batch of full-metal 35th anniversary, and their casebacks show the 35th logo.
Anthony Yau well, yes and no, these are 35th anniversary ones as they are the same as the gold and released for the 35th but correct they are not limited editions. They are hard to find though.
How are We Supposed To CHECK BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL?? //= STATE OF CHARGE ON THESE??
THANK YOU In Advance
You need to use the app to check the battery level annoyingly man, still but a small price to pay cause once it's fully charged you would really need to go full vampire to drain it .
never spend more than $100 on a gshock but its nice
DanielMuller the Walmart’s in Columbus Ohio sell g shocks 😒😒 makes em pretty lame but i still wear mines
Does this model have the same caseback? because i saw one online have a different caseback so i don't know if its authentic.
The limited edition gold one has a different case back. There is now an updated gold model as well as an all black one. The actual limited edition models have a different case back.
it looks so much better on a larger wrist, my wrist is only 6 1/3 inches, and since the first link doesnt flex it looks a bit too big on me. but since its a g shock it'll still wear it.
my wrist is 6 inch so should i get it or not
my wrist is 6 inch so should i get it or not?
my wrist is 6 inch so should i get it or not??
I am depositing money for this watch so I am asking
Just got mine but when I turn my wrist the backlight doesn’t go on is there a setting that needs to be adjusted?
Hold the light button down for a few seconds to activate the auto light feature. Your manual should help with anything else.
I always loose my phone in the couch coochen so the bluetooth function is dead handy for me!
Would you buy the resin strap version?
MrLoughneagh you mean the metal case with the rubber strap version ? Probably not. At that point I would just probably get the standard all resin version as part of the appeal with this model is the All Metal case and bracelet.
Thanks for the reply! As I'm new to the square models which other squares should I consider please?
Thanks
Being honest, I am not a G-Shock aficionado by any means. I bought this one for multiple reasons, but as I said in video, for many years I wore a G-SHOCK in kitchens but they were mostly $80-100 models I bought at mall or Macy’s etc. There are sooo many models of G-SHOCK out there, just take a look at their website and find the one that’s right for you.
i love it
Is it still available on the market?
Yeah you can buy these pretty much anywhere, just do a google search.
my wrist size 6 can I wear this???
Only you can know. My wrist is 7.5 inches or 19.05cm, so you need to gauge if it would be a good size for your wrist.
@@watchreport I don't understand anything brother
@@watchreport I am depositing money for this watch so I am asking
Just got the gold and silver for £350 each
I had to buy it premium of USD 1,500 (1/3/2019) - Gold Version at Positive Display
My dude knew what he was doing. Lol you don't just not keep walking when you want to buy something.
Hi, How heavy is it? hw u feel the weight on the wrist?
PRASOBH - not very heavy. 167 grams, (before being sized) full specs and more in the written review. Click the link in the description.
Thank u for the feedback. Casio Singpore and Malaysia has listed this watch in the standard digital category and the gold one in the Limited edition. Hope this will be available easily in stores soon line a standard g shock release. Any new abt it? Here is the link . www.casio-intl.com/sg/en/wat/watch_detail/GMW-B5000D-1/
PRASOBH - it will be more readily available soon. It’s limited in distribution right now but that should change in coming months.
Thank you !! & I really liked the honest review & I fully agree with ur pt on the price factor. Hope it will come down to 300 USD range in near future being a standard model. Looking fwd for more reviews !!
if you don't mind wearing handcuffs. i mean thats what it felt like as heavy as it is. i like my 5600. its light and geta the job done. not to mention affordable
They have them at King of Prussia..oh shit..Hows the weight I heard its heavy?
Nick G its not heavy
saw one and it was the weight that turned me off. it was heavier than my seiko 007 on bracelet. not only that but it is too expensive for a so called beater watch
it costs 650$ where i live at💀
Worth it
@@erickbriano4485 already bought an Unimatic U1 for 600$. has much better built quality and automatic
Plz tell me Price in Saudi Riyal or Indian rupees
I have no idea. You can look that up online and convert it from US currency.
is it easy to cratch?
Yes
Objectively there's nothing to warrant the price tag. I'd rather have the original rubber version for £60
Objectively a Rolex Daytona isnt worth 20.000, 30.000, but hey....
Good lord. You had to take out links and bring in the clasp for your 7.5 inch wrist. Who was it designed for? Andre the Giant?
sutats lol. Most watches with bracelets I have to take out a link or two. They usually should be able to fit an 8 or 8.5 inch wrist out of the box.
It will fit real man and also chicken wrist.
Sir, i found this watch on local online store aroudn $120. Is that a fake one,
Arfian Wismiga yeah it’s fake for $120 unless it’s stolen
THAT Was Just The TAX...YES..ITS FAKE & BAKE
Are they £100 yet?
Nope and most likely never will be
£450 at H.Samuel
Had to buy it over a year ago for the full 500£, although you can get them for £200 on eBay now used so it’s getting close to £100 😂
@@Cripinub1 I don't trust eBay, I like to know I'm buying a genuine product.
Just ordered this yesterday for around 350 USD brand new. I hope its not fake
Well, where did you order from? If you ordered from a reputable source/site you should be ok. If ordered from eBay or another sales app type deal, you may be taking a chance.
@@watchreport from not so popular online store in India. All colors are still available from several online stores. Maybe they’re the last pieces of production. Let’s see. I’ll definitely return it if its fake
@@watchreport just got it. It's original. Its an engaging watch
I am a fan of G-Shock steel watches BUT, I am not a fan of digital versions. So, I will put my money on the analog stainless steel G-Shock GST S110 or the twisted steel MTG-S1000D.
Just looked at your suggestions. Egads, those are monstrosities. This version is more for people with actual taste.
I am having a hard time finding one of these. Looks like this watch wouldn't be a bad wear semi-formal.
Joe Wolfe keep looking is all you can do. Casio seems to be limiting distribution to the US to make them feel more in demand I suppose.
Is the silver also a 35th anniversary? I thought it was only the gold one.
raze products.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/_detail/GMW-B5000D-1/
The website says the silver one is a 35th anniversary version, but only the gold one comes with 35th anniversary labeled box and case back.
thank you. just picked one up from macys under 400 dollars.
Haha Haha 1983 I was graduating from high school
Yes, some people are younger, some older. Weird huh? 🙄
Ha ha. I was 3 years old :) too
Very beautifull..
Its easy to find in EU
is it real or a fake ?
Are you serious? Its real. Bought from an authorized G-Shock dealer.
paid $330 for an used one on ebay.
this be nice in black chrome.
Paul Leather Black steel version is limited but out there. $800-$1000 at retail, if you were even able to find it. Also a steel one on rubber with a reverse display.
This not too long released a black chrome one..
can you put a nato strap on it?
You would need adapters I believe. Not sure if they are available for this model.
titobarrera ऐ
why?
Lol
@titobarrera you can buy a 2 piece NATO and just cut bits off to fit I done it with my g shock works a treat
The gold one isnt gold plated
Okay. What is it then ?
WatchReport.com its just stainless steel painted gold
It’s not really painted, it’s ion plated a gold color but yes, solid gold was not used to coat it. Its just gold PVD basically.
Suggestion for Casio: Remove the Bluetooth thing, charge $100 less and far more people will buy it.
They have sold thousands upon thousands of these.
@@watchreport I think they could sell a couple thousands more. I mainly see this watch as an item for retro freaks, so I don't get the Bluetooth function.
Who knows what will come out next year, but the idea behind the watch was combining old and new, past and present.
Think I went deaf in my right ear.
👍
WATCHREPORT.Com,..BUT The Watch You Have Listed GMW-B5000 IS NOT The One You Are Demoning? THE => GMW-B5000 IS The PLASTIC Band Version
The GMW-B500 is the entire series. The one I show in the video, as I have listed in the description is the
GMW-B5000D-1. world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/origin/gmw-b5000/
no one interested in blue one?
I don't get it ? You can buy the gw-b5600bc for 130GBP then put it in the same case and strap for 115GBP. Then you've got the exact same watch for about 200GBP less??? Makes no sense
but gw-b5600bc is not metal or as elegant. No doubt this all metal version looks and feels more premium on your wrist.
And if you happen to have gotten the limited edition versions, it holds value very well and feels good knowing that you are wearing something that is unique.
I read in one review of this watch that their signals are so quiet that it makes alarms and other signals practically useless. If this is true, then for me it is a huge disappointment, and I will cancel the acquisition of these seemingly ideal watches.
YOU WEAR YOUR WATCH TOO HIGH UP THE WRIST.
Thinley Zangmo cool. Thanks
Actually that s how you re supposed to wear it...
