I agree, I do need to invest in a better lighting system. Currently I have been relying on natural light so when I film outside the times of peak sunrise or if the sky is overcast the lighting is not that good in the video lol.
My 2 cents on this watch? It is simply amazing. I have always respected Casio as an innovative, affordable brand. Watches for the people. That feeling comes from my childhood, I as always curious and amazed by what Casio engineers could stuff into their watches, technology-wise. Their designs on the other hand are not always pleasing to me, they often miss balance and the right proportions. This one is a clear home run. For a G-Shock, it is almost minimalistic. The handset, the white arrow indicator, the cool negative dot matrix STN display, all perfectly centred in the dial, very clear and readable. No over the top gimmicks, a beautiful execution, perfect solar integration ( Seiko, take notes please😀), good wrist presence without being too large. Accuracy, and of course the legendary robustness. It inspires great confidence, even more after I saw the video where a GST-B300 faces an explosion from close range, 3 times in a row, without disintegrating!! Kudos to the Casio engineers, Let the Swiss try to build such a great watch for this money!
Yes a truly amazing watch from an amazing company. Their fashion-centric models may be a little ridiculously priced IMO, but when they focus on performance, value, and ingenuity, it's hard to find another that can compare.
Man you hit it right on the mark I don't know why they don't make a watch like this all digital. I'm sure they're going to do it one of these days but when they do it's going to be a hot seller if it looks right
The bright super led is a feature of the watch. So you can use it as a quick temporary light for say in a dark hotel room. Thats what a casino rep told me and its fairly true as I've used the super led on my edifice to do things like find a light switch or my shoes in a dark room. They have heard the complaint about the led though and in other model have switch to a black led that mainly just illuminates the led and loom of the watch on other models.
Imagined this one full-metal... Probably 200-250 g? My wife has a carbon-composite comb. It is very light-weight and very sturdy thing - no flex at all. About the watch - Very nice three-hander indeed! It even can show the date in dd:mm:yy format. Thank you for the review and opinion as usual :)
I've replaced the clasps on some of my casio bracelets with 15 dollar milled ones from alliexpress with great success. Its actually easier to do than adjusting the bracelet since the clasp is held on with regular watch spring pins.
I wish there was a multiband version instead of the BT. I just dislike my watch requiring the smartphone with enabled bluetooth and the running app, to be in the vicinity of the watch during it's BT sync timeslots (00:30, 06:30, 12:30, 18:30). Btw: If someone also likes to keep his BT disabled, you can use the Automagic app for creating a simple script, enabling BT during these timeslots.
If you want all digital try the titanium bracelet tough casio try the Protrek PRW-30 the PRW-31YT-7JF. I have the resin band version PRW-30-1AJF and its a fantastic watch.
You challenged to find a watch with better lighting. I will take you up on that. I had a Casio I can't think of the model now since it's discontinued and I lost the watch but it looked like the Casio MDV106. It had four internal lights. It was so bright you could light up a dark hallway. I gave it to someone to find something he lost in the pitch of midmight. When he came inside with the item (I had to remind him to give my watch back). It was a forty dollar watch but the last time I saw it on Ebay it was going for over 150. I think mainly cause of that lighting feature.
@@degenerateWA It was the Casio MDV-102. I am wrong it had two lights on the dial not four. You can see some reviews on YT. I swear that watch was a flashlight. Wow, I just looked and one on ebay is going for 327 dollars.
While the rest of the buttons are fine. The bluthooth button is not as easy. Still needs to be press further than the other buttons to work and fingernail helps. The bluthooth button is just trickery to get the right spot and lenght of time to get bluthooth. However have the b200, a great watch. I hate digtial abd like this watch, does both. I got the resin strap is metal straps dont always fit to well, either to tight or to lose. I found the metal clasps fail after awhile and dont click as tightly from New.
Why wouldn’t you use the Bluetooth? It only makes short connections to your phone, to adjust the time to perfection. It does not behave like a smartwatch that keeps connecting and drains your battery. It is just the icing on the cake that this incredibly cool and tough looking watch has pinpoint accuracy too.
8.5" wrists is gonna be a tight fit. Mentally prepare yourself to maybe having to order some more links. Don't take my word for it; I can't remember exactly how many links I removed, but usually it's only 2 and I have a 7.5-8" wrist. (I do also wear my watches a little loose so you might be fine)
I wouldn't recommend it. Water resistance rating does not equate to the actual depth indicated (i.e. 100m water resistant does not mean it is safe to take the watch down to 100m under the surface). But I couldn't tell you myself as I've never taken it down to 200m myself.
thing about gshock is everytime you buy one you find out what its missing and your in an endless money trap until you spend like 5k dollars finding THAT ONE lol.
G Shock is definitely an endless money pit once you get into them. For me, because I was so obsessed with them as a child, that obsession has bled over to my adulthood and it's just something I can't quit.
@@degenerateWA I got one about 5 years ago cuz I though the tide graph was so cool but i bought it and it took me like 5 years to figure out all the features of them all. i got the one and found out gyllenhaul wore it in a movie.but then wanted a triple sensor but could only afford the ggb100. and now I want the tough movement ones but am still waiting for something affordable 800 is too much for a gwg100 triple sensor and I want something awesome with a 24 hr dial like the mtg and mrg they should make an affordable tough movement gshock with the 24 hr dial i like analog. if the rangeman was analog ida bought it. hahaa
