All Three 40th Anniversary Gshock Squares! Lovely! 

Just to be clear, only the DW-5040PG lacks solar and waveceptor, like all anniversary editions. All full metal G squares including these two have solar, multiband waveceptor, bluetooth, and that wonderful STN display.

The gold-carbon variant is stunning. I wear a lot of black titanium and gold jewelery pieces, and this is a piece that allows me to take a rugged cool watch traveling that genuinely can do *anything* and not have to worry about sporting a 20k$ or even 10k$ watch!

The display on the 5040PG is really lovely.

I LOVE!!! How the finish of the silver one gives a cinder like appearance. It looks like I’m wearing a watch made of solid concrete.

The speckly ones are stunning! I really am surprised how much I like them. As I was born in 1983 and my first watch in 1991 was a Square, I really should get an Anniversary Edition one of these days. My 5610 is just too good at the moment. 😂

Those watches are beyond gorgeous. You can't even compare them to anything on the market - no tissot can't be put against them.

Wow, nice collection of squares. The Mr. G is a fine watch.

Nice comparison, thank you

I have now received my Casio 40th anniversary editions. Silver with dark dial for daytime 06:00 to 18:00. Gold with light disc for evening time 18.00 to 06.00. Then the day is covered with the best choice.

Great review, thanks.

Love the black one on your wrist, that mrg one. The metal band and gold like accents looks so good.

Nice collection

I really feel like getting a second 5040 to wear as a second daily. And saving the other 😅

I LOVE YOUR COLLECTION WHAT A PERFECT COMBINATION OF CASIO WATCHES I LIKE IT AND I LOVE IT CASIO NUMBER ONE

The vintage G-Shock you've shown had so much better pushers than modern ones.

Impressive collection. Out of all of the watchs on your .... Soft table. I own 2 of the models.

Nice video..

they need a metal black speckled 40th anniversary like the back of those watches

I thought they'd have a texture based on the look. Good to know they're smooth. Also I believe they're surface hardened. I have the 5000u, so I'm good, but these look great.

I like your watches

i have a customized casio oak frost silver which the band texture is rough and perhaps given the material usage and quality the band kinda rust over time. I guess with this new 40th anniversary texture statement crytallisation, the sparkle effect does does push innovation to the next level with recrystallization and deep-layer hardening, that layering protects the finishing from scratches and provide the crystal shine effect. I think casio has done well with adding frosty band into their collection without messing up the quality. The silver crystal is on my wanted list. The price is steep here in Asia but being the first line, if they do wanna keep the line going well.. the first is always the OG collection !

🇺🇸🤘🔥DW-5040🔥🤘🇺🇸

Wow! They are amazing! 😍 Too bad my 6.5 inch wrist is a bit to small for the metal G-Shock versions but I can definitely appreciate them nonetheless, awesome collectables for sure! Congrats! 🎉✨🎊

I want one simply because I was made in April 1983 as well 😂

The resin square arrived on my doorstep today direct from Casio. I found the packaging lacking but, the watch is too dope!

8:27: Casually just breaks out the coolest watch ever made... Very nice. Anyway, I was at first a little disappointed that the DW-5040PG-1 didn't have atomic time or solar, but the display is so pretty, I'm good with it. I just have to remind everyone Father's Day is coming up, lol. Imagine if that MR-G had that same goldish display... Do you think it would be the perfect watch, or would it ruin the aesthetics?

All. Three 40th. Anniversary. G. Shock. Square. ! The Lovely. !

I got that dw-5040 but I want the gold one also 😭

“Recrystallization” apparently. I like the resin one. I wonder how the bio resin will hold up compared to the regular resin band and bezels 🤔 Thanks for the vid.

Great video, very detailed up close with them, which one is your favourite? Love to see what they look like swapping the modules over, think gold with gold screen and silver with gold buttons and positive display may look even better?… 😬

very nice review!!! i just picked up the 5610U but i'm so tempted to return it and get the DW-5040PG-1. I'm a little torn and maybe you can help. I love so much about the 5610U, looks, functionality, module specs, solar and multiband. It's got a ton going for it and i can't stop staring. Totally brings me back to childhood but with modern flair. But i really really really dont like how its viewing angle is so limited. I like glancing at my watch for time, but i find i have to have it angled very specifically to read anything. I'm between 2 notches on the band, one is kinda tight and the other is loose enough that i have to move the watch with one hand to get it out from under my sleeve. Both get old quickly. I'm not sure it its the caseback, but i wouldn't say it feels amazing on the wrist or that i can wear it all day no prob. It irritates eventually. I keep trying both slots to see if it breaks in better and hasn't. The DW-5040PG-1looks stunning. I love the gold screen and having the brickwork more prominent. With so many square's looking similar, i really like that this is traditional yet stands out as unique. Do you think this model has a wider range of viewing angles than the 5610U? would its screw caseback be more comfortable? Even if the band leave me between notches, maybe the caseback would make it feel better overall. I can live with it lacking solar (but it is cool) and i can always manually adjust the time with other multiband watches. But I do wish it had both. I don't use world time a ton but it sure is nice when you do, so I'd eventually miss that too. I think it's looks keep bringing me back to want this, but i would miss some of the 5610's tech. If it is better to see time at more angles, and feels better on the wrist, it might be for me. But if its the same bad viewing angle and fit it similar, i guess i should stick with the 5610. Any feedback on these questions is much appreciated and I'd love to hear your thoughts on if you think i'd like this 40th better than the 5610 based on my comments. Thanks for a great video and your time!

I wish the steel version didn't have the inverted display. I almost bought the Tokyo Twilight but the display really wasn't visible on the wrist at anything but a direct angle

Very nice Indeed! I would love one of the Crystallized square one's, I have a GW-5000 1JF and a 35th anniversary Dw-5735d-1b, I just really like the MB6 function, as of now the Bluetooth function will "get me by" so to speak, on future models.that Mr. G square is Beautiful! As a side note do you notice a difference in MB6 reception with the all steel versions over the regular MB6 models?

Excellent review, wonderful collection. I prefer the classic, standard module over solars. Have you noticed how accurate is the new battery operated module on that 5040pg? Subbed. Many thanks for the review 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

I don't have a metal G-Shock they are kinda expensive for me but they look good tho

I assumed that the 5040 PG had solar like the other two. Was just about to purchase one to.

I'm really interested in the gold-tone version, because of its positive display. I'm thinking the recrystallization pattern will ultimately conceal minor scratches much better than the original metal versions?

Great collection you got there. I picked up the dw-5040 since that was a must for me. Which one of the new gold or silver variants do you prefer having them in hand?

You're one lucky guy..

Thanks for the video!!! By the way, I'm interested in getting the regular stainless steel model with negative display... can you please elaborate where you found the steel bracelet like the one shown on this video? I'd like to buy customize it the way you did for yours.

Thanks for your video, do you know if the recrystallized watches shine bright in the sun light similar to a diamond? Would have liked to see how they look with the sunlight on them? Thanks!

Besser bei Licht aufbewahren, da ansonsten die Batterie 🔋 nicht geladen wird.

I am not convinced by the DW5040 : the module is simply too basic for the 300$ price tag. It's basic to look like the original DW5000 ? literally unbelievable argument.

The golden one is so sexy! I have to buy one!

Idk why they decided to throw in white font with the gold crystallized version.. it's nice on the silver but not the gold.

What is the reference number of the black one you are(were) wearing in this video?

Anyone know if it’s adjustable?

I see the neon gbd200 in the background. I really like the color, but am worried I won't when I get it. Whats your opinion on the color?

Super nice watch but no solar and MB6 is a deal breaker IMO. Especially for the price

I had an issue with the steel PS model. The bezel had just about none of the carbon specs on it, and completely mismatched the bracelet to the point it wasn't wearable. The bezel looked like it was spayed with silver paint. My AD is sending another one, but that was disappointing. I saw another review showing the gold one, and the reviewer even showed that some of the links were a very different tone (darker) than the rest. I don't recall a mention of this in the marketing. Yes no two are alike, but I wasn't aware of the huge differences in color and finish appearance. It seems like luck of the draw with these. You can currently see a good example of a mismatched one on Sakura.

It’s called recrystallized

Thanks for showing these details. I made my mind not to buy them. They are for specific occasions like you said, and I guess I will wait for future variants.

I'm not 100% sure, but "sparkly" hardware seems like it was stonewashed. The process is sometimes used in production of various steel parts and knife blades. It gives that specific muted sparkly look and better scratch resistance.

What website did you get your metal bracelet please?

If only the silver model had a positive screen. 😢

Galvanized steel

The negative displays on the anniversary models should be a MIPS display. They should also be tough solar, multiband 6, and Bluetooth. That would go some way to justifying the asking price. The crystalline finish is interesting but is almost certainly an applied coating that doesn’t extend through the metal.

Very nice watches, but for what GSHOCKs were known for (affordable), they’re out of my league.

I am a weirdo!

No solar no bueno

the gold and black is a big turn off, for 300 bones its a no from me. just import a gw-5000

I’m leaving this crap with no solar or multiband Casio are loosing the plot charging 269 for this what are they thinking

I would say these anniversary editions are nothing but overpriced products aimed at the overzealous Casio watch enthusiast. Just stick with the stock options!

It's overpriced AF. Watches look really good, but man, come on!

Very difficult to wear pieces! It's like you have to be a serious collector to just have them as a decor object or be someone like BB King to wear on stage... So unpractical, Sorry!

Each star represents a decade…is not a rate thing

Omg, these are terrible.

man you have a ton of money right there

I just can't like Digital quarz watches , everyone has a different taste , my favorites are Automatic Dress watches , it would be perfect with titanium Bracelets
