What better way to kick off the new year than with a watch that's not only affordable, but also a historic icon and a horological innovator? Today I revisit an old friend, with a review of the G-Shock G-9000 watch, to explore why in 2024 it's still the toughest watch in its price range. In this video I share its positives and negatives, style, history, the evolution of its groundbreaking design, and how it changed the watch world forever. Before you buy the G-9000 or any G-Shock for that matter, make sure to watch this video to learn why it is truly the ultimate tough and affordable watch. Whether you're fighting off hordes of zombies in the city, deployed in the jungle and being hunted by predatory extraterrestrials, or timing an escape like the running man, this is the watch for you. What do you think about the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments, and make sure to like this video and subscribe!

Great video! I’ve worn G-Shock watches since about 1995. My first ever purchase was a DW-6600 in Okinawa while in the Marines. It was also the watch on my wrist on 9/11 (I am a survivor) absolutely the toughest watches on the planet. Onward and upwards!

@theurbangentry 9 месяцев назад

Wow, those are some profound connections to G-shock, I deeply respect that. Thank you for your service, and I am glad you are still with us. O&U! The very best of regards, TGV

@monstermashed6266 9 месяцев назад

I've never liked the esthetics of the G shock ever since I first saw them I thought they looked cheap like something you would find in a cracker jacks box. Today they are a more sophisticated well made watch but they still retain that toyish look but I get it many do like them personally I am more of a Seiko or Citizen diver type watch

@FiremanFrach 8 месяцев назад

Great review. I just received the G9000ms-1. Takes some getting used to, but I’m really liking this new addition to my G Shock collection. Cheers.

@monstermashed6266 8 месяцев назад

Today's Gshock are acceptable in my opinion but in the past they just looked cheap like something out of a cracker jacks box

Good video. Bought a G-Shock at Army Post Exchange way back in mid-1990. I remember it only cost $20 and no tax (PX's don't collect tax). At the same time, a Lieutenant Colonel was buying an Omega Speedmaster for $2,500 (if I remember that correctly). He looked at my purchase and said, "Good watch. I've got one myself." And he was right. That watch survived two combat tours and being struck by a bowling ball. Best watch I own.

@andrewwatts970 9 месяцев назад

A+ intro! Here’s to another year of make watch content that is actually fun and enjoyable and isn’t taking itself so serious

@Seiber1993 9 месяцев назад

I love this G Shock Model. I have had mine since 2011, and it is still going strong after 3 batteries and one strap replacement. It's been treated how G Shocks are meant to be treated. I absolutely adore this amazing timepiece. I've had more than 1 Timex watch not last me half that amount of time to my Casios. I love Casio for the quality to price comparison. They are unmatched! When I need a watch when I know a job is going to get rough I always reach for a Casio, plain and simple.

@shatvikz1333 9 месяцев назад

Still got mine been about 13 years and it still works to this very day. One of my best watches that i'll never forget, it has been through everything

@deusvult7559 9 месяцев назад

Perfect timing...my old g shock has been retired for a month or so and I can no longer bare being without one. Watched this vid and was convinced that this one is THE one. Ordered for 83. shipped to my door. Can't wait...Thanks again TGV.

@owenlaprath4135 7 месяцев назад

Just an FYI: This may shock you, but G-Shock was once seen as a bad omen by some. As a veteran from the eighties, when G-Shock was still a new thing, I can tell you that many Army people saw a G-Shock as a "wannabe" accessory. When we looked at the watch stand in the PX, some discussions started. The thought was, particularly amongst airborne troops and pilots, that if you needed a G-Shock that was tougher than any human body possibly could be, you were probably clumsy and bad at what you were doing, and if you managed to break a normal Casio, you were dead anyway! The plain and simple Casio digitals were the go-to watch for most of my buddies at the time, believe it or not! Memories are short in general, so you may not find this opinion anymore, but it was there once.

@zacharyg2966 9 месяцев назад

My wife absorbed this into her collection. And now I'm buying it again. Loved the video. Thanks TGV!

@adk7962 9 месяцев назад

“Tiny arms darling, very tiny arms…” 😂 long live Hugo!🦖. And nothing says sophisticated badass like a pinky ring, hazmat suit, and shotgun. And always love learning something new. Had no idea water resistance and mud resistance were two different things. 👍🏼

@teomai 9 месяцев назад

I have had my G9000 for about 2 years now. Absolutely love it. Not too big nor too small. It's perfect for me.

@j_mitch_85 9 месяцев назад

This falls perfectly in-line with my recent experience with the DW-290. I wasn't expecting how much I'd come to appreciate its toughness and functionality (coming from the garmin world as an endurance athlete). I suppose I'll explore the mudmaster as a simple level-up when the times comes. Also wanted to say thank you for all of your videos. I started watching before the holidays and haven't stopped - part of my morning coffee nowadays! Fantastic stuff - wishing you good health & happiness in the new year my friend.

@jimmccaig7946 9 месяцев назад

Had mine for ten years, wore it to death, Cop, cycling, running, swimming. Feel the need for a new one now. A classic. Great show 👍

@jchanisko1 9 месяцев назад

Possibly the most entertaining intro yet, and there have been some great ones! I thought that Casio had discontinued the Mudman a few years ago, but then I saw the stealth version at a shopping mall during the holidays, and now this. I'm still hoping they bring back a basic black, non-special edition DW-6600 but I most likely will be adding this to the collection soon...

@bobbressi5414 9 месяцев назад

I bought that particular G shock on close out at Wallmart for 19 dollars. I wear it at my job and have beaten the hell out of it. The resin case is a little beat up but the watch has never failed me. I also love the functionality. It is nice to have the timer or chronograph running while the time remains displayed up top.

@daletaylorjr.4786 9 месяцев назад

I got mine at Walmart for $35. Every time I find myself in a Walmart, I have to check the case. Lol

@stratkat9714 9 месяцев назад

Another home run, TGV! I have been on the hunt for a G-Shock / Mudman (beater-watch) and this checks all the boxes at a phenomenal price. Great analysis of this watch and another purchase for my modest collection - Thank you!

@alexm2113 9 месяцев назад

G-Shocks never cease to amaze me. The sheer selection at all price points and of course the legendary toughness. If there's ever a situation where I need the absolute most reliable watch on my wrist I always reach for my G-Shock!

@creato938 9 месяцев назад

As always a very good episode, it's indeed a very cool G-Shock and your cross section with movies is impeccable as always.

@Watchingwristwatches 9 месяцев назад

Great production, and it’s always nice to see Hugo! I’ve never taken an interest in G-Shock, but you are gradually convincing me of their resilient charms 😁

@DaveMGmovies 9 месяцев назад

Happy New Year fella. Your videos continue to entertain and long may it continue. I think I missed the G-shock train sometime in the early 80s so haven't enjoyed their innovations to date. Old dog, new tricks.

@johanvandersandt8904 9 месяцев назад

Had one. Loved it. The buttons were a bit tough to use but generally a pretty great watch! Prosperity and good fortune to you in the new year TGV!

@BurnieMET13 9 месяцев назад

I've had a G9000 Mudman for a few years and can confirm JaysandKays' offers strap adapters for it. I find it pushes the lug-to-lug (60mm) too wide though. Ps - the coincidence that this video came out at the beginning of this year's Dakar Rally, where it was used originally by the Toyota Land Cruiser factory team, is too good not to mention. Cheers!

@darksidecarnival5385 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant!! This G Shock is one model in my collection that i keep coming back to. I got mine over 10 years ago and have used it during many outdoor endeavors from rock climbing to white water kayaking and its incredibly durable. The one feature that stands out the most for me is its flash alert with the electro luminous back light. My other G Shocks have a flash alert feature but with either a white backlight or a pink backlight. The blue backlight in the 9000 is pleasing to the eye in dim or no light conditions. I just replaced my battery for the 3rd time in all these years and it performs like it did 10 years ago. This has to be my favorite G Shock in my collection. Thank you for making such a fantastic video highlighting this model!

@gumundurolafurhermannsson6183 9 месяцев назад

Did not know about this peace. Paused this video after few minutes, ordered G-9000 from ebay, than finished the video. Many thanks for letting me know about this one.

@Jamie-yz5hs 8 месяцев назад

Hi bro. I just bought one yesterday after watching your videos 😅. G-9000-1 is really nice watches. I used to have Gulfman G9100, for me this Mudman is better in the reliability segment. I nearly bought the MS version, but i love this model better. Thank you so much for this video of yours.

@faye89 7 месяцев назад

I have a GW 200 Frogman that I got in 2002 and that has spent over a week at the bottom of the ocean and found its way back to me through a person I’d met several years earlier on the other side of the world (lost the watch diving in Honduras, was found by an instructor I’d met several years prior in Thailand and she returned it to me). G Shocks really are the toughest watches in the world. Also, I once asked an ex Navy Seal acquaintance what they wore in the teams, and he replied “whatever we wanted. Pretty much everybody wears a G Shock.”

@clm.menezes 9 месяцев назад

For me, this G-Shock is just ok. But the Intro, production, editing, are 10/10. May we all have an amazing 2024!

@jroobz 9 месяцев назад

love the g shock content. i just purchased a 5600 Fox Fire. might go for a gulfman later this year. you're absolutely right, very underappreciated g shock series

@DisplayKeesBack 9 месяцев назад

Once again, a great show. Man, I love G-shocks. I'm saving up for a bigger watch purchase, so this goes on the list for later (I mean I have to buy something for my summer vacations, right?). Yes, I know, I'm making up reasons to buy new watches.

@atkuzmanov 9 месяцев назад

I love it when G-Shocks have positive normal (non-dot matrix) displays with different markers that move around even in normal time-keeping. Makes it sooo much more interesting and bedazzling to look at, it's magical! Just wish it had a full-metal case with screw back, standard lugs or at least standard spring bars, and that it was tough solar! Great video and looking good TGV! Have a great start of the new year! ( :

@officerswatch9033 9 месяцев назад

Having worn a G-shock in AFG as a member of the military I can say its the most common watch amongst armed forces. A lot of people like the Garmin watches but they were being tracked, nothing can replace the G-shock in terms of actual milspec.

@greenjihad3390 9 месяцев назад

Which were the G-Shock models yourself and other AFGers worked with?

@squirelova1815 9 месяцев назад

Hmmm...very interesting "tactical" consideration you mentioned there concerning the tracking of Garmin watches. Would you be so kind as to provide us with any Details, if you could, as to How or why a Garmin watch might become a "Liability" during "Operations" or in general, Please? Just asking for a friend of course.

@GoAvs69420 9 месяцев назад

Another banger, though I really only like maybe 3 of the g shock designs, (5600/6900/casioak) you have me second guessing my own preferences again!

@johnsimkiss9646 8 месяцев назад

New to your channel from the UK, loving it. I have a G-2000 that I still wear everyday for work that my wife got me for Christmas 2000 and I still love it.

@madaxe606 9 месяцев назад

My GW-9400 Rangeman was my daily duty watch for most of my 23yrs as a First Responder. It was subjected to some extraordinary abuse, and held up like an absolute champ through all of it. From bodily fluids to Hazmat responses, hundreds of car extrications - being pranged off of twisted autobody frames over and over again, and a fair few treks through some terrain where we would have been good and lost without the compass feature. I can't count the number of times I used it for timing medical interventions using both the timer and stopwatch. If that watch could talk it'd have some stories to tell. The hype around G-Shocks is very, very real.

@S-Ltd1000 9 месяцев назад

@mbnv99234 7 месяцев назад

@Mr.J_81 9 месяцев назад

Hi TGV, Thank you for this episode. I have Mudman for my sport and outdoor activities since 2007. You have completly right that is a Godfather of all havy duties G-Shocks. It is still with me. It is on retirement, but it Works and have a special place in the box becouse it was a first prezent from my wife, when we was in college. I exchange it on GDB200 and it is a NEXT level. I turn off all notifiction and I use it for all sports and outdoors activities. I am 42 now and still I have fun to wear G-Shock. I hope that my daughters will have the same. I am looking forward for you GBD review and thought about it. Thanks a lot for your great job! 👏🏻

@wescobts 9 месяцев назад

I have owned this watch a couple of times, and i love it. I have been thinking about another one, just because I feel if you are a true G-Shock fan, you need a Mudman in your stable. I wore mine while in the military as well as the construction trades and it is by far the best field watch. Thanks for another great video.

@paulkukula6541 9 месяцев назад

Great show. My only & much loved G-Shock,is 2016 Camo GD120 C. Love it for work,hunting,timed walks with my wife,wake up alarm & quick check of current times in UK & Europe of family. 2nd battery & second watch band. Great brand.

@andersboisen9179 9 месяцев назад

YES THE FIRST MUDMAN IS STILL THE BEST 2 STOPWATCH THAT GOES TO 1000 HOURS THAT IS ALMOST 6 WEEKS I GOT MINE IN 2006 AND THE BATTERY LASTED 14 YEARS OOOHHH THAT WAS A LONG TIME BUT THEN I ALMOST NEVER USED THE BACKLIGHT.

@derekwalter4238 9 месяцев назад

WHY ARE WE YELLING??

@jouwenlee7829 9 месяцев назад

This has been on my wish list for a long time since it came out for its long duration timer and mud-resist functions. But didn’t keep long in possession for its infamous hard buttons and not comfortable wear. In the same line of master of G series in that era, I fall in love with the lesser known gulfman, G9100 and solar version GW9110. It has similar size with full titanium metal parts including screws, give moon and tide data. The non solar G9100 also has the option for -5s countdown before starting the timer; optional one-time or repeat countdown timer; lesser alarms (3) but it can be set as daily, monthly, a date of every month or specific date & month to goes off, quirky. The other recently older G-Shock I fell in love with, is the GD350. Best easy to read digital non-MIP screen, vibration modes, quick access countdown timer and though come in larger, could be close to ‘MI ‘ watch yet comfortable to wear. Cool to see 100 world city names in full display. Hope you can check those out too. Thanks for another cool videos.

@darth_jarjar123 9 месяцев назад

Bought G9000 when I graduated rescue academy, and got my first job as a firefighter! I've own several G-Shocks from the classic square DW-5600 to Mudmaster GWG-1000, but the G9000 has a special place in my heart. Still wear it occasionally! Great watch, with features such as double stopwatch, five second auto-start for the stopwatch, auto-repeat countdown timer and buttons that are easy to use with gloves on.

@yootuub3869 9 месяцев назад

I love my gsg-100 mudmaster. I got it for myself for Christmas for camping and it’s accidentally become my daily driver watch I adore this watch. This video makes me appreciate the history behind the mud man/ mudmaster, great video.

@Sailor_McNemo 9 месяцев назад

Red is actually the first color of the spectrum to disappear as a diver descends, usually around 20 ft. This is actually a boon for the Spearfishing crowd who do not want to draw attention to themselves when approaching their quarry - which more often than not are red colorized themselves for camouflage reasons. Love the review, thanks!

@mikes.4136 9 месяцев назад

I love your description of the original, DW-5500C and the times that shaped it.

@Kittyland123 9 месяцев назад

Hello TGV, I hope that your holiday break went well! I hope that this year does not go like your background suggests! In this video to be honest I was more interested in the weapons and chemical suit / background than the watch itself! lol! Maybe?! Out of interest was that a real shotgun and 1911 handgun you had? I’m just curious if it is since I’m highly into firearms. Although the shotgun looked plasticky and the handgun looked more like an airgun based on the markings, but I could be very mistaken. I love how you insert the magazine into the handgun and pump the shotgun for effect! The watch is a very interesting and practical for sure and will be taking all of the wrist time if we will go into the apocalypse environment. Hopefully not in the near future!! I hope that your health recovers quickly! Unfortunately! My family and I got sick with Covid again during the holiday break but at least we are mostly recovered! Your watch and gun enthusiast, (Nick L) 😷🔫⏱️👀⏱️🗡️🇮🇹🇬🇧😬👏🏻🦖

@joeltoddwilliams3568 9 месяцев назад

I remember you doing a video on the mud-man in the early days of the channel.. I’ve owned a mud-man since 2009 and love it to workout in for many of the features that you point out thanks again for the great videos.

@ricradoineds 9 месяцев назад

Hugo looks in good heath this year! This is a tooltastic master piece, built to last that mud resist protection is really cool! The color combo pushers and case really makes a great zombie/sci-fi movie watch (James Cameron approved). Really nice video and great production. Best regards!

Dear TGV may I comment your statement about the red colour of the buttons underwater ? Actually the red colour is on of the first to disappear because these wavelength are absorbed by water from the first meters, that’s why orange and yellow are a little bit better. Great video

Nice G, I owned the g9000 with a negative display (15:56) and got rid of it for that reason, just illegible without strong light. The Casio mission impossible watch works just as well imo

@boiliebencarpfishing 9 месяцев назад

It’s definitely my favourite G-Shock and the most comfortable to wear. The display is great with the time and date and backlight again is one of the best on any G. I also love the size of it, smaller than most of the modern G’s

@JF-lt5zc 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for calling G-Shocks field watches! The field watches styled after older WW2, etc. models are great, but let's be honest, they, like many other watches, are novelties before they are field/tool watches. I'm new to watch collecting and certainly love the look of the classic field watch. But I wouldn't wear one into the woods, on a hike, in a downpour, in the snow, kayaking, or on a mtn bike ride. A G-Shock, on the other hand, can do all of those things easily with little to no risk of damage and certainly no heartbreak if it is.

@danielfuller1202 9 месяцев назад

Awesome review, small correction: red is the first colour on the spectrum to fade out under water so it's actually the worst 😅. Bright yellows, greens and lastly blues's are the best for under water visibility.

One must add at least 1 G-Shock model to your collection. I personally love 6900 with solar and atomic features. Use it for all my hard use tasks (Workout, yardwork, etc). Never fails and takes a licking.

@chrisbradshaw7708 9 месяцев назад

I have the 5600, 6900 and the Mudman but gifted it to a co-worker as it wasn't getting as much wrist time as the others. Lately I have really been missing the Mudman and thought about getting another one. Low and behold here comes this video, order placed! Truly an overlooked legend.

What do you do after you got your grail watch? I didn't know when I got it that the Tudor Ranger I bought in January 2023 would become my grail watch, but it is. No other watch can ever do it for me like my Ranger. However, I'm still alive and I still love watches. It turns out that what I did next was buy a G-Shock, thanks to this video! I had never paid much attention to G-Shock before, but this video sparked my interest. I did some research of various models, picked one: GGB100-1A9, then waited a couple of weeks to avoid making an impulse purchase that I might end up regretting. After two weeks, I still wanted it, found one at a discount price from an official dealer and was lucky enough to be able to afford it, so I pulled the trigger. I'm now a happy G-Shock owner. For me, a new watch seems to scratch the itch for about a year, so January 2025, I'll probably be in for something else. It will be an Oris Big Crown. I really like those.

Ref. Watcheschecked- “these conditions, you won’t survive but your watch will.” Sounds to me like the poor man’s Patek. I’m just holding it for the next generation but for real! Cheers

"Holy Schnikes!" No frickin' way! I just TODAY 'caved in' and bought a G900-1v on sale for $79 from Eli Adams Jewelers after researching it out of sheer curiosity and finding out about its alleged chemical resistance! It's the perfect Household chores or "work around the Car" and car wash-detailing watch, me thinks. Are you doing this to me on purpose just to make me Happy or something!? Unreal timing Sir TGV, unreal. Plus, i just ordered Jays and Kays Adapters for the Requirement of a NATO strap for such an Intrepid but Splendid beauty such as this. I suppose I'll be losing sleep again over obsessing over what NATO color design this time, again. Carry on then...and Thank YOU.

You need to work on your movie poster choices.. I would recommend that rather than choose from movie popularity you choose from pictographic attractiveness, now this may vary drastically depending on the movie topic but in some cases that would mean that there would be a bit of a complexity to the poster. So in my case I would be looking for a kind of beauty or some kind of a descriptive complexity / Take the movie poster for the great movie Chinatown (1974) The poster is fairly simple yet it presents a clear artistic style to it while picturing the movie jonra.. Cheers

Interesting comment. I tend to just choose them on rather a basic premise on the meaning (the movie that is) and the significance they have in my life. Many are from special times, places, or experiences with loved ones, some just because of family and friends involved in them and therefore are special. Sometimes a movie can represent a whole era, season or special time, so when I look at them I remember those moments, might sound a bit strange, but hey it works for me. I certainly will consider you way of looking at them, I love the Chinatown poster btw, great movie. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

TGV and Hugo are ready for 2024! do you know something we don't about the coming year?! Once again I love your horological history lessons. I had no idea the Mudman was still produced. What a bang for buck! Will have to pull the trigger or maybe the G9300 with compass (fun!) and solar. I've really enjoyed my GGB100 Mudmaster for the past year and it really performed for me in Death Valley, Mount Whitney and backcountry places smartwatches can't hack it. Its barometer sensor is the function I never knew I couldn't live without and I feel better in sync with weather conditions. Onwards and upwards!

Excelent video! 👌Thank you for reviewing this excelent timepiece! Just pure class! Looking forward to the next video!

Nice review, especially because the G-9000 is completely offline with no smartphone connectivity. I like that TGV plays Command & Conquer. Did you ever try Dune 2000, TGV? Some time ago I really fell in love with it and can recommend it to fans of the older C&C versions.
