That’s because it’s a heavy duty mineral glass. A sapphire crystal is more scratch resistant than mineral, but it’s also more likely to have shattered under the same pressure. The other two watches probably had acrylic crystals, which is why it bent rather than shattering or popping out of the bezel intact.
The basic digital G-Shock square cost about $50 US, and after I finally bought one and wore it, I wondered what took me so long. These are fantastic tool watches and certainly more accurate than any Rolex. (Not a fair comparison, I realize.)
It would nice if you do summary of performance of everything you destroy in the end of the video. In this case- original took that much pressure, fake that much and so on. By the way, brilliant channel and you are spending a lots of money. keep on doing it, you are one of the kind, not much competition for you!
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops! MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
The only thing you have proved is that your hidrolic press can crush a watch, which i think most people would have guessed. i dont know why, but i still watched it 😂
I love the concept and idea behind this video. Keep it up. I have to mention this also. In life the major goal is to be healthy, have a good shelter over your head, feed well and be FINANCIALLY STABLE in other words have money, once you have all this, life will be easy.
Over the years, the Stock market has proven to be a lucrative type of Investment providing you with high accumulation of profits on your portfolio with a professional guide and managerial skills.
I agree with you but I strongly believe and advice this, to thrive and make gain from the stock market, you will need to have a good stock portfolio handler with expertise. with there expertise, they will provide you with explicit information and guide on how to begin generating profits from the stock market.
It hurt seeing that old country watch get destroyed. But I guess it's not authentic, because we all know that in old country watch destroys hydraulic press.
Please do a WR test with this same two type of watch. Fill water in a hard glass cylinder chamber, create a sealed piston, and press that. So it will be simulate the water pressure when watches diving. Easy to calculate how many meter real WR.
No doubt the original digital watch is a nice product, but replica watch with half strength at ten times lower cost is also worth considering. May be I go for replica watch.
@@tesmith47 Pressure resistance is not the function of the watch too. G-Shock had 10 years battery life and water-resistant up to 200 meters. Can that replica do the same? I don't think so.
@@gilgameshlfx7006 I had a fake G-Shock and it's battery is still working. It's been 3 years didn't need to get it fixed. And it didn't even cost me $12, only around $7.5
I don't know why YT suggested this and why I even watched this in first place. It's painful to see a working beautiful thing getting destroyed in the name of "testing".
Now need a test for shockproof, not just compression under an hydraulic press. Throw the watches at a wall, or drop them off a tall building are my suggestions.
So guys the best way to distinguish between original and fake GShock is to use hydraulic press , the original one will have its glass out and will require more pressure/force to stop working
The g shocks both look like kids watches or fakes. I don’t think I ever even looked at a g shock. I wear a jazz master everyday at work. and I’m a welder / fitter. Only take it off when I take a shower. Been over a year. Band about to fall apart. Due to sweat and chemicals. But man can’t beat a real crystal man. Only part that has zero scratches.
First of all i love this video but in the first try i was curious why you didn't push too hard the cutter in the original one and the second is why you'd pushed too hard the cutter in the fake one so it's normally can make a scratch in the glass of clock
What a crime to see a historic clock from the 70s smashed in an unprecedented test that proves that with enough pressure from a hydraulic machine, any clock breaks. That old and still working clock did not deserve to end like this.
He's being mindful of the blade. That is a Sapphire crystal, or at the very least mineral glass coated with Sapphire, meaning there's no amount of pushing down with a box cutter in your hand that's going to scratch it. Worst that could happen is that the blade slips and you end up hurting yourself.
1:15 i like the fact that he gently passes the knife through the original glass and later on at 1:36 really pushes hard to create a scratch on the fake.
Actually,if it does not scratch it just slides and looks like your not putting any effort but when it scratches it burrows some of the blade bc thats a cutter, a very sharp blade it looks like your putting alot of effort.
70’s watch featured a function that ejects the movement when it realises its in a hydraulic press. What you didn’t see off camera was the parachute deploy and the movement land safely on the ground.
Admittedly, I've cringed when people did 'drop test' videos of products that are very desired, yet (at the time) were very hard to come by. This watch is still made, but with a different casing -- Vostok Watch Komandirskie 439072 for $40. Other 'Komandirskie' watches utilizing the same case -- 219123, 219179, 219452, etc. Vostok offers replacement parts, so one could probably piece together a close replica, if so desired. It's not certain if patina will occur as some of these 'brass' cases age. The acrylic crystal is a feature on the Vostok 'Amfibia' dive watches, as they flex and add protection while under heavy pressure -- /watch?v=FwNFy2A7rmU&t=377s One can use 'PolyWatch' to buff out any scratches that may occur while wearing watches with acrylic crystals.
I thought it was an impact resistance test, but it was a pressure resistance test. If you want to get a good score in the pressure resistance test, simply make the outer shell made of tough metal. G-Shock has a model with a titanium alloy outer shell, so I recommend you to use that for the test. However, being hard is not the same as being strong.
@@creeper6831 because it falls on you, so it's no longer 10kg, as it has all the energy from the fall, in other hands of you gently put a 10kg hammer on your wrist, you wouldn't feel much.
The 12$ one is only 10% of the original’s price, but took almost 50% of the weight the original one took. So certainly, I’ll go for the 12$ product because it is 90% cheaper but also 50% capable of the original one.
I have the same G-shock, it's a really nice watch and very reliable, as any Casio is. That being said it's a weird test because the G-shock line is built to resist falling, it has to be water proof, so they have to resist shocks and water infiltrations more than sustain weights. That poor vostok tho, it looked like it was running fast and probably wasn't worth the cost of servicing, but as a watch enthisiast it still breaks my heart to see it getting destroyed (I feel a little bad for the fake one too).
He cannot scratch it with that metal knife. The knife just glides across the surface with whatever force you apply. It's due to the hardness of the glass. Original G-Shocks generally use Mineral glass and/or sapphire glass which comes second only to diamonds in terms of hardness. (It should be noted that hardness does not mean resistance to breaking rather hard substances are generally brittle.) You'll either need an object made up of diamond or sapphire itself to scratch the glass. I have tried scratching my G-Shock with knives and other metals which generally do nothing. But things were not the same when I tried it with sand. It got scratched with sand. (I looked it up and found that sand contains mixture of many minerals which includes sapphire and even diamonds in some cases) . My point is it's nearly impossible to scratch it that easily with metal. It's otherwise if you're applying force like a maniac to that little glass.
It's not Unless you absolutely love the watch but can't afford the original then that's also not fine.no to fakes! Also don't encourage them to produce more by buying their products
@@NotsoPHYSale la falsificacion no está mal hay personas que no pueden pagar el original que tiene de malo la falsificacion si no quieren que eso pase que hagan más baratos
You just don't understand physics of materials. The original G-shock's glass is made of sapphire. It can be scratched only with a sharp diamond. No knife can make a mark on it. It just glides off. Other two watches have acrylic glass, which can be easily scratched by a scalpel or knife, just like in the video.
