I take a close look at the G-Shock GBD-200 and GBX-100NS, two very similar square watches that cost around the same, to see which is the one to buy. Music: www.bensound.com Music: Csum (freemusicarchi...
The GBD 200 is an aesthetically strong timepiece that perfectly complements any situation. Its design exudes confidence, making it an ideal accessory whether you're in a business meeting or enjoying a casual outing. The robust build and sleek look not only enhance your style but also give you the assurance of durability and performance. This watch truly stands out, providing both functionality and a confident feel to its wearer.
Just got the gbd... I was waiting more than year to find the gbx in Sweden, it never appeared. I am so happy with the gbd. That could sell for more than 500$. Love it.
The Gbx would be the choice for me one million percent. The GBD is more of a workout watch, while the GBX is more of a outdoors sports watch, which aligns better with me Just the fact alone the GBD doesn't have a countdown timer is a deal breaker for me personally, and would make me opt for GBX for that reason alone. Plus I really like the tide and moon graph in the G-lide, and the sunrise and sunset graph as well
I got my GBD 200 today. I settled on one of the two newer variants, that being the purple. Surprisingly under indoor lighting, it looks more black than anything. The only purple I really notice is the two parts that attach the strap to the case. It's a great looking watch.
Bought the 200 about 4 weeks ago for an everyday watch. Comfortable strong good casual looking watch. Two gripes #1 is cannot set alarm up for the same time on different days. #2 once connected to my phone, if I go out of reach of the Bluetooth, it doesn't automatically reconnect to my phone again. But love the big numbers which is why I went digital.
Solid video brother. Definitely going to pick up that surf version, very good to have here in Hawaii. Didn’t know these were MIP screens too big bonus for me! Mahalo 🤙
Nice video! Really like both... however, are you able to tell us if you can set the date to a UK format? I honestly cannot bear a US date format - I've sold so many watches because of this.
I prepare the gbd-200. For my taste, it has a better look and it connects to the phone’s gps. I don’t swim, so I don’t care about the gbx-100, and it does not connect to the phone’s gps.
Dan, they both have the world time dual display mode. I've seen it on a different video. Personally i love the display, but I'd gladly trade the bluetooth and apps for tough solar. I know the battery is cheap but I just wonder how opening the watch affects waterproofing.
Does anyone know if the module of the 100 fits the 200? I like the features of the 100 but prefer to keep the wrist guards on the 200 and maybe a module swap can fix it or even better if the bands are interchangeable? Also does he GBX-100NS have GPS?
Once I wear a watch, I won't take it off for a long time and It'll be there even while bathing and everyday tasks. Can GBD 200 sustain that? I've heard somewhere that we can't use it around water. Anyone please help me here?
It's a bit strange to say it really doesn't matter which one you choose. If your a surfer or you live on an island that's only accessible at low tide or you like to walk your dog on the beach when the tides out, then it really does matter which one you choose.
I'm not living near a coast but I like the sunr and moon data the GBX has. And besides that I like the stainless steel on the GBX. So It all comes down to what you're looking for.
I regularly rode motorbikes and drive cars on the beach and use the tide a lot. It blows my mind how few watches have the tide on it. Especially expensive garmins etc that would be a simple layer of coding not any more hardware etc.
Thank you so much for this video I bought the Gbd200 today (H.Samuels) £97.00 30% off Rrp just cos I seen your review all the best from sunny Glasgow 🇬🇧
I don't suppose they got a Smartwatch with a media control button do they Casio is pretty interesting and I got one of their regular digital watch with military time and 12hr format.
I'd love to know your definition of functionality, and I find one thing these watches do not do is consistently connect and the smart feature is a gimmick..
It would be the opposite for me. I really appreciate the tide and moon graph, and the sunrise/sunset time, in the G-lide Casio watches. And the fact the GBX has a countdown timer is a huge plus for me, cause it's the most useful feature in a watch for me
I like everything about the GBD better, except the GBX shows the sunrise/sunset times which as someone working in video is something I often need to know.
Wrist Guards were a deal breaker for me. It just changes the game a bit. But I guess if your a surfer, the GBX-100 is the way to go? Thanks for sharing.
I have the GBX but it's so bad at many things. Extremely laggy menus and "smart" features that just don't work. All I wanted was a vibration notification for text messages and incoming calls but they even couldn't get that to work (a $10 smart watch from China can do that right). If they'd upgraded the firmware to solve all the issues it would be fine but instead they just abandoned it, leaving their customers behind as beta testers. Booo Casio 😡
what you get is functions that are almost identical... but I'm not going to tell you what differences there are, or why you might chose one over the other.. so in essence, this whole video is as useful as a side by side picture that would save you 6.20 of your life... :(
@@iamvarun96 I actually bought the GBD-200 a while ago (in fire red) and made the same experience. Over 5 Kilometers there is a small error of 30-40 meter and I can live with that. Mine also runs in airplane mode to save battery life. Fantastic display.
