Full Metal G Review: EPIC for the G-shock aficionado 

I absolutely agree!!! It is totally the everything watch - and I’ve definitely been wearing it as such!!! Cheers!

AGREED. At both ;) the price and the fact that this guy is meant to stand out!

You got a deal at 330, I'm jealous

Hahaha that was during the uncertainty of 2020 and retailers were seriously hurting and interest rates were at rock bottom so there were so many deals to be had out there.

They definitely should make a smaller version! I would buy one too! Thanks so much for watching, Cheers!

It was a nice intro. I didn't even notice (RU-vid's autoplay skipped over it)

Could not agree more!

The Oceanus is a fantastic watch!!! Casio durability and technology with JDM Seiko built quality! Can’t beat that! There’s a newer version out as well, the S200 I believe, which is stainless steel and I’m 99% sure adds Bluetooth like the newer G-Shocks as well.

I agree with everything you’ve said here! Not long after this I got the gold one as well and absolutely love it. And actually since getting that one, I’ve barely touched the silver. I saw today that Hodinkee has the new special edition Titanium Virtual Armor for sale and man it’s gorgeous but I personally can’t stomach the $1,600 price tag.

@@joshswatches yes, the titanium one is expensive and doesn't appeal to me. I like the shine of the rose and yellow gold and the chrome. It's part of their attraction. I am not going to wear them anywhere that they will get bashed up. If I really wanted to do that I'd get a cheaper plastic G Shock or frankly not wear a watch at all. And I have other titanium quartz watches anyway which I prefer. One is the new Bulova Lunar Pilot limited edition for the 50th anniversary which not only looks great but has a super quartz running at 262Hz for excellent accuracy (though not as precise as watch that syncs every day with an atomic radio signal of course). And the other is the Omega X-33 Skywalker which has wonderful history and looks amazing on the wrist. It's expensive which puts people off given it's a quartz but on the wrist it's the most legible analogue watch I have out of 40 or so mixed quartz and mechanical pieces in my collection. But for a quick lightweight watch for casual wear the G Shocks suit any occasion given my choice of colours. They're fun watches. The Bulova and Omega are more serious watches.

Sounds like you’ve got a classic yourself there! And I know I missed the headlights by a year, but it’s okay. For better or worse I bought it in late 2019, and then in early 2020 went to work from home and so right now it’s only got 10,000 miles on it. And LOVE your collection! I added the gold after this and wish I had jumped on the virtual armor version when it was readily available. Thanks for watching and sharing!!

Thanks for watching!

That’s a killer deal, congrats!!! Hope you love it!! 👊🏼

YES! I totally agree with you on all counts! The titanium models are beautiful but I can’t bring myself to spend the money on one LOL! Maybe one day. And the 6ER is an amazing watch as well, congrats!!

Haha! Once you start with G-Shock you kind of get hooked LOL! And hey that’s awesome! Can’t ever go wrong with a 4Runner. ;) Cheers!

I love this comment and I absolutely agree!!! The 4Runner’s 100% Japanese-made parts content was a big selling point. And a Grand Seiko is pretty close to the top of my list. Cheers! Thanks for watching!

You are most welcome! And yes that’s correct, essentially it will look at your local time setting (GMT +/- X) and when it receives the UTC radio signal (GMT) it will take that plus your settings. Now, keep in mind you have to be within range of one of the broadcasting stations to use it, so places like Hawaii are too far from Fort Collins, CO or either of the two Japanese broadcasting stations, and that’s why there’s Bluetooth sync built into these also. Hope this helps!

@@joshswatches Thank you again Josh!! Very interesting, but it is possible to deactivate at all this synchronization or the watch it self doesn't allow you to do it? Thank you and best regards!!

Oh yeah definitely! There’s a really good looking one on eBay called G-Refit - have seen it mentioned on some of the G-Shock forums. Would love to know how that goes for you!

Hi! Thank you! The Oceanus is a level above this watch for sure. All the tolerances and gaps are tighter and the finishing is finer on the Oceanus. But the Oceanus is trying to be a luxury watch where the G-Shock is trying to be a G-Shock if that makes sense. 😅 That doesn’t mean it’s lower quality but the mission is different. Think about like a Toyota truck versus a Lexus luxury sedan. They cost the same amount and the quality is there with both but the truck is more rough and tumble and you’re maybe less inclined to baby it. Hope this helps!!!

@@joshswatches Thank you so much for the reply, it makes a lot of sense, is the build quality of the Oceanus as good as they say it is? Does it compete with watches twice its price in terms of fit and finish?

Hello! They hold up very well as long as you aren’t wearing it into a construction zone or something like that.

@aalvaradom2 3 years of wearing it almost everyday, I've been treating mine very rough leaving scratches and dent on the bezel, but the crystal is in perfect condition as the day I bought it

Hello! About 6.5-6.75 inches or ~17cm

@@joshswatches thank you!!!

This one is hard because it depends how wide your wrist is (some people’s are more oblong than round). Go try it on before you buy (or buy from somewhere you can return) as the lug end like pieces don’t actually move.

Haha thank you so much!!
