Thoughts on GW5000
I’m currently thinking of buying one from Seiya - any current or former owners want to weigh in? It’s expensive for a g shock quartz but has a ton of features. I’d appreciate some first hand views

Re: Thoughts on GW5000
It’s the same as the All Metal, minus the Bluetooth. While the All Metal is very pricey, I do love it and have been wearing it a lot. I don’t know if I would pay $300 for the rubber version, but if you plan on beating it up or don’t want something that will get scratched that you have to brush from time to time, go for it.
Granted there are cheaper square versions out there.
Here’s my full review and video on the Metal one.

Re: Thoughts on GW5000
The display is very clear, and the more muted coloration of the face is in my opinion less garish than the 5600. While making the watch a bit heavy on the wrist compared to the 5600, the screw-down case back is reassuringly solid and promises to be more reliable in the long term.
Would I do it over again? Yes.

Just got this one from Seiya about two hours ago. My first G-shock. Better than I expected so far.
Re: Thoughts on GW5000
Congrats dude!
First G? Wow, I won’t even venture a guess at how many I’ve had (still have..)

Thoughts on GW5000
OK G-experts....
If I want these features, which model is it?
- best STN display
- all black case as above (no white letters)
- ability to use Nato adapters
- screw back
- ideally titanium or metal, keeping with all black if possible (if not resin is ok)
???

GMWB5000G. Comes on a rubber band as opposed to full metal bracelet
Also, about the commercial I can neither confirm nor deny

I like the GW-M530A. Should meet all of your requirements.

Re: Thoughts on GW5000
Thanks. I think I’d want a square one tho. I had the OG one when it was released.Captdave wrote:I like the GW-M530A. Should meet all of your requirements.

I’d prefer sapphire glass too.
Not sure I even need to go down this rabbit hole.

The one RPalace posted is the one you want. Like he said, the regular display is available on a rubber strap.hoppyjr wrote:Thanks. I think I’d want a square one tho. I had the OG one when it was released.Captdave wrote:I like the GW-M530A. Should meet all of your requirements.

No sapphire though. At this point only metal squares with sapphire are titanium and that’s the camo and the black and gold. I do not know if replacement sapphire crystals for modding are available.
This same one has been on my list for awhile. Price fluctuates though as a few weeks ago it was $389.

Re: Thoughts on GW5000
If you want the stn display you have to go with the newer “all metal” Gs.
You don’t need sapphire/ I used to have a screen protector on my GW5000. Took it off and I’ve been wearing it outside building the play fort. Not one scratch.
