Hi
In this video I will compare the Galaxy watch 3 silver 45 millimeter against the new galaxy watch 4 classic 46 millimeter in black.
the case size is different but the screen size still 1.4 inches. the resolution finally is much higher in the new watch 4, i did noticed, but the old one was ok too, this reason alone is not a reason to upgrade.
the band is now different. the old one used to be a 22 millimeter lug to lug but the new one is only 20 millimeter. it is a bit narrower and that is despite the fact the the case is bigger. I honestly after wearing the new one for a week, I can definitely say that the new watch style is better over all, the band this time has a stop that hits the case at a certain point so it wears much more comfortably in your wrist than the watch 3. honestly I could never sleep with the watch 3 on because I would wake up with the wrist hurting. with the watch 4, I have forgotten to remove it at night and I have had no problem. i really welcome this change. good job samsung. there is a little gap between the case and the band, i don't know if samsung overlooked that or what happened. maybe working from home cause a confusion between the band team and the case team, who knows.
the watch 4 is thinner than the old one, I don't like thin watches but this one is ok, it wears a bit bigger due to the changes in the band that i mentioned before. the lugs on the case are very narrow too, i thought i wouldn't like that but I don't notice them, maybe because the watch is black and the band too.
the software is a big difference between the watches. honestly i don't know why samsung went to wear os. because the tizen os was pretty well developed and mature in watch 3, battery life was great. I used to wear my watch 3 in airplane mode and battery lasted for 4 to even 5 days. with the new watch, using airplane mode too. i can barely do 2 and a half days.
i think tizen o s had more and better watch faces than what i have been able to find in wear o s. the watch faces that samsung include in the watch 4 are pretty bad in my opinion. many do not include the date. when signing a check you need to open the calendar to find the date.
also the watch is super buggy, i never had any issues with any of my other smart watches and this watch 4, refused for 2 hours to pair and set up with my galaxy s21. i was about to return it to bestbuy but then suddenly it paired to my phone.
in my opinion, what samsung won by going wear o s was minimal compared to what they lost by leaving tizen o s. specially the battery life.
the watch 4 charges significantly faster than the old one, so that is good, because I would stop using the old watch 3 and taking another watch because the watch 3 was super slow to charge. the same charger for the watch 3 works on the watch 4.
anyway I'm keeping this watch and trading in the old one for a big discount. also i don't need the old one because i have the Huawei watch that looks almost identical to the watch 3, almost identical but better because it has a ceramic bezel. by the way the Huawei beats by a mile both watches in the battery life department. the Huawei lasts over 2 weeks on a single charge. software is limited but very well though.
even with all my complains if i wouldn't have any samsung watch i would get the watch 4 just because the style is better.
also i forgot to mention that the bezel in the new watch is, or at least, it looks like it is made out of metal and the old watch 3 looks like it is made out of plastic. i like the brushed metal on the new one because it reflects the light better.
I really recommend the new watch 4 if you can get over the fact that you will have to charge it more often and that the watch faces are not there yet and that you'll experience a bug here and there.
I'll leave you now with some extra footage of the hardware and on the wrist shots.
thanks for watching.

In this video I will quickly show the new belt that I got. it is a Salvatore Ferragamo belt. You may have seen it on TV shows, it is a very distinctive belt.
so far I have used it 3 times and I love it. it is really well made. the only downside of this belt is the price, my credit card still hurts.
the price is really high for a belt. after taxes it came out above 520 dollars. believe it or not this is more expensive that the louis voitton neogram that I contemplated when I was looking for a new belt.
My last belt was a Hugo boss and I think it was around 150, I thought it was very expensive. I did use that belt for like 5 years, so I'm planning to do that with this one too, wear it everyday, if it breaks, you guys will be the first ones to know about.
I'm a bit worried since it is a reversible and there fore the threads can become undone, that happened to me before with a cheap banana republic belt. I hope this one is OK.
I bought this one in Nordstrom, so it is original, I have put some measurements in the video so you compare yours, I'm a 32 size but I bought a 38. 40 was too large and 34 and 36 were a bit small. I don't know why Nordstrom says just to order one size up, I'm glad I went to the store to try them.
I haven't try to reverse the buckle to use it in the dark brown configuration but it should be very straight forward, I'm afraid to break it. ha ha.
anyway enjoy the video, Thanks
this is not an ATT locked S21
I was able to put the 4WD back together in like 15 min.
I got my latest and greatest Samsung galaxy watch 3.
and my old trusted Huawei watch gt.
If we look at the watch cases, you can see that the cases are very very similar indeed. look at the shape of the lugs, the size, the shape of the buttons. very very similar indeed.
the first noticeable difference is that the Samsung has a rotating bezel with out much engraving and that the Huawei has a beautiful ceramic bezel with engraving.
i do prefer the ceramic bezel over probably anything else, i rarely use the rotating bezel in the samsung,
i know most people like it but i don't think it is necessary since you can scroll with your finger. i don't think you'll loose any functionality if it fails. i don't think i use if for anything, maybe to scroll the watch faces but that is about it. you still need to touch the screen to click something. so it is just a scrolling wheel.
the Huawei beats the samsung by Knock out punch in the battery department. samsung can go two to 3 days with my current usage. but the Huawei can do at least 20 days without needing a charge and the cherry on top is that the Huawei y charges very fast using a wired cable. the samsung is super slow because it uses wireless technology. very fancy technology but very slow too. I hate when I need to charge my watch because i loose so many steps while charging it for almost 2 hours.
the included bands are nice, but i like the brown leather one much more, it has plastic back so the leather doesn't touch the sweat, also the color is much nicer in my opinion and it has a very nice 3 d padding. the samsung one is too plain and simple for me.
the case is also thicker on the samsung. i prefer thick cases for my watches.
both screens are nice but in my opinion the Huawei is more vibrant and i prefer that screen.
the samsung software is much more complete, almost like a cellphone. the Huawei is very basic and you can't add more watch faces or download apps. that hasn't really being a problem so far for me.
also you can't make a phone call using the Huawei , it doesn't even have a speaker. however, for me anyway. making a call with my watch is a party trick so far.
both watches are accurate for tracking my running, both get gps lock very fast. i prefer the Huawei while running because it shows colors on my heart rate and the samsung almost never displays my current heart rate even though i wear it in a snug fit when running. I think for now that is the biggest issue of my galaxy watch. it misses most of heart rate on my running session. the Huawei is much better tracking my heart rate, maybe it is because it has two green lights on the back instead of only one light. the samsung has only one light on the back
it is very difficult to choose for me a winner here. my personal situation is that i don't rely on my watch for smartphone activities like text and notification. the only thing i want in my watch is, great looking hardware, battery life, step counter and heart rate while running. and if that is the case, i think the are tied or the Huawei slightly wins for me, even though it is an old watch. it just works and looks great and since it is old it cost close to 100 dollars. the samsung is around 350 dollars. incredible.
i wish i could wear my Huawei more. but you know, the U S has some issues with wah-way and i don't want my boss to ask me what brand of watch i'm wearing and find out that it is a Huawei . i just can wear it. everyone knows that Huawei has a bad reputation here. so, the watch stays at home until i go running or the weekend arrives and i can enjoy it.
Hi Guys,
Just want to make a quick video to compare two samsung watches.
one is the gear sport and the other is the brand new galaxy watch 3 .
the main differences are
the galaxy watch case is much bigger.
the gear sport used 20 millimeter bands and the galaxy uses 22. the original band on the sport is rubber and the galaxy watch has a leather band. i wouldn't use the leather band to work out or get it wet.
the gear sport doesn't have a speaker, but it does have vibration. you can't make or receive calls in the gear sport and to be honest, the only time i did a call in my watch, it was by mistake. even if i'm working out, i prefer to take the calls in my cellphone, many times i'm using a headset or just use the phone to talk. no problem. talking on a smartwatch was a solution to a problem that almost no one had.
the galaxy watch has much better battery life, but both last longer than 2 days with my usage.
both have wireless chargers and they are very slow.
the galaxy watch 3 has advance health features like blood oxygen, e c g and other stuff
the gear sport has a heart rate monitor.
on the looks, i like the looks of both. both are black but the gear sport shines more. i have received more compliments on the gear sport than the galaxy watch. maybe because it shines more.
both have a premium feeling even though i believe the gear sport was much cheaper.
You know at the end. for me it doesn't matter, after wearing the galaxy watch for more than a month, i got tired of the constant charging of the watch. also i notice that i pretty much do the same steps everyday, so i kind of don't need the watch that much. i have been wearing a g shock for a few weeks now. for me always on time and not having to charge a watch is more important. i'm sure at some point i will get bored and want to struggle again and wear my smartwatches again.
Sometimes for jogging, i just use my cellphone to track time and distance, it is faster and more intuitive, for some reason while using the running feature on the Samsung, i end up pausing the workout by mistake and loosing a bunch of distance, it is the worst. sometimes it doesn't turn on when raising the hand and you have to press a button, but that button sometimes pauses the workout..
enjoy the video.

Hi Guys, guess what?
I just got another watch. this one is the silver 45 millimeter galaxy watch 3. i was not planning to get the silver galaxy watch 3 because it is very similar to the old watch, but Samsung is currently running a promotion that it was very hard for me to pass, Samsung would accept your old galaxy watch and give you a 200 dollar discount on the new watch 3. after discounts and everything i just paid 185 plus tax to get the new watch. I'll be sending my old watch to Samsung after i finish recording this video.
I have a few comments about the watch. let's talk about it.
the style on both watches is similar, but the new watch 3 has way more polished surfaces and the lugs are smaller and narrower, it is a bit thinner and the screen is bigger.
I'm not a fan of this new style, i prefer more brushed surfaces like the old watch and also a smaller screen, specially since the battery in the new watch is smaller. the old watch screen is adequate. I prefer a bigger bezel because this is not a tv or smartphone where a big screen is better. i think a nice big bezel gives character to the watch. also for some reason i don't like thin watches. the new watch style is elegant and boring, the old one has a more unique funky style that i kind of like and prefer.
in my experience the battery life on both is similar, but consider that the watch 3 is new and the original is 2 years old. so i think the old one has better battery. but the new one is pretty good too. remember that i use my watches in the stand alone mode. so i usually get 3 or more days of usage.
And for one more time, i will complain that you can't use your old chargers to charge the new watch, it just won't do. and the new charger is not compatible with my other galaxy watches and gear sport. why?
the e c g function in the new watch is ok, however i don't know what to do with that information, also Samsung reminds you to not to act on this information, so it is almost a party trick for me.
Both watches are fine for water, honestly i have never swim with them, but i take showers without removing my watch. never had any issue.
one feature that i like a lot is that when i go jogging, both watches lock the g p s pretty fast even though i always use my watches in the airplane mode or stand alone. i enjoy looking my heart rate and pace. i think these are great fitness devices. i run 3 or 4 times a week and i always carry my galaxy watches with me.`
the big difference between these watches is that Samsung included new and nice watch faces in the watch 3. I really like some of them. don't expect to get these faces in your old watches. in my experience, watch faces available in the gear sport never were available to the galaxy watch. Samsung like to keep some watch faces exclusive to some models i guess. it's fine.
One thing that both watches are just plain bad is to tell time.
i think Samsung should have researched how to always show time on the devices without killing the battery. time, date and step always available will be nice. i just don't turn on the always on feature because it kills the battery and this watch takes hours to charge. after all they call it galaxy watch, not galaxy fitness device. at the end is a watch, and in a watch i want time and style. i'm not sure that this new watch 3 will kill my trusty g shock.
at the end i would repeat this, I wouldn't have upgraded to the new watch if samsung wouldn't have given me such a big discount on the new watch. i just wouldn't. the old watch is very very good and honestly, i almost like the style better that the new boring style. the new health features on the watch 3 are still not here. also as far as i can see the blood pressure will be based on flashing lights on the back? i don't know how accurate will that be.
to be fair, even if I'm complaining this much i will keep my watch 3 and trade in my old watch just because the old watch is 2 years old and probably the battery is getting old and I'm afraid it will die. Samsung really made it difficult to keep my old watch with that steep 200 dollar discount. also i make videos in YouTube, so having the latest and greatest watch helps, I just can't say no to the upgrade. it is very difficult to justify keeping the old one. also what else is out in the market. the is not much. i think the galaxy watches are a great choice for anyone. great materials, great functional software and above average battery life.
at the end i can say that I recommend both watches and i would be equally happy with either one.
so yeah. i got a galaxy watch 3. woo hoo
The galaxy watch is one of my favorite smartwatches, it is huge, it has an unique shape, it has almost a quickly design. very unique looking watch. it has a great battery life and honestly I haven't had any issue in more than 2 years with the watch. my only complain about these galaxy watches is the time it take to charge them, it takes hours to charge both the old watch and the new watch, sometimes i stop wearing them because I need to leave the house and the watch still charging. in that case I just take a g shock watch and forget about smartwatches for a while. even if you use your watch like me. always in airplane mode and screen off you will still need to charge it a couple times per week. all smartwatches have that issue as far as I know. except of course the Huawei watch gt. that one i was able to use for a month without charging it.
After a few days of wearing the watch 3, I came to the realization that it is practically the same experience as my old galaxy watch, software is pretty much identical the only difference is that the new galaxy watch 3 has some new watch faces that probably Samsung will never give to the old watches. pretty much the whole new experience in this watch is the new watch faces. the advanced health features still turned off in mid October. and honestly i expect them to be very inaccurate. or would you trust a few blinking lights on the back to measure your blood pressure? of course not.
also for 20 bucks you can get one of the best oxygen monitors and for about 45 you can get one of the best and most accurate blood pressure monitors from Omron. so what I'm saying is not to buy this watch because it measures oxygen or blood pressure. in my opinion it is just a gimmick or a party trick.
The new watch also has fall detection. which is nice, because it will call me if it falls from its charger because it spends a lot of time there. great, that way i don't run the risk of stepping over it by accident. thank you samsung.
honestly the only things that you need in a smartwatch is, great battery, step counter and to have nice materials and design. if that is the case I don't see why someone will upgrade from the previous galaxy watch.
Also I hate the leather band, it gets wet and in a few weeks i bet it will be nasty if i am not careful with sweat and water or working out with my watch on. however that is an easy problem to solve by using a rubber strap like I'm using.
by the way, the old charger is not compatible with the new galaxy watch 3 and the new charger is not compatible with the old watch. come on!
and samsung decided that you don't need another wall adaptor and just includes the cable.
on the positive side I can say that the new watch 3 is pretty good looking, but the old one was too. I just wouldn't pay the rattail price for the new watch. because samsung has a history of discounting watches. I paid 350 for the galaxy watch 1, and a few weeks ago in prime day, the watch was 189 in Amazon. so my recommendation is to wait if possible.
thank you for watching
That is pretty standard for a modern smartwatch. it is pretty impressive if you consider that there is a microphone and a speaker on this watch. I always worry about the speaker getting damaged.
Even though this watch has a pretty good water resistant rating, it comes with a leather band out of the box. leather band are not even meant to be splashed with water. water and leather are not a very good combination.
You'll see that after this 30 minutes or so test, the leather band got very wet, water entered the band. this band was not made as nice as my Huawei watch gt, that band is also leather but the back is covered with plastic and didn't look that bad after a similar test.
honestly this leather band is bad for sports, water and it is too boring in my opinion, it doesn't taper or have little 3 d thickness effect. I use my watch on a silicone band, but for this test I'll use the original band for the name of science.
Near the end of the video, I'll use the water ejection feature, I don't know if it is necessary to eject the water, I have many smartwatches and most of them have this feature, but I never use it after taking a shower for example. I think it is a gimmick but should work in theory, I just don't use it.
You don't need to worry about getting electrocuted with the charging ports on this watch because this watch charges wirelessly as a typical Samsung watch. this design decision is good for water but it is painfully slow to charge... takes hours to charge, super slow. my other smartwatches have pins in the back and they are ok for water too. they charge super fast.
for some reason you can't charge this watch with the older galaxy watch chargers, it will try to charge but fail. come on!. also samsung didn't include the wall adapter this time, double come on!
anyway... what is this video about?. oh yes, it is about water resistant. anyway enjoy the video, I don't know if it because of the soap, but the band lost a bit of shininess after it dried. it was very difficult to dry, took hours to dry in a towel and near a low heat vent.
hopefully samsung include a second silicone band next time, they cost them probably 45 cents to make and it will really improve the experience with water.
Have fun. stay tuned for more galaxy watch videos.
by the way in my opinion if you already have a galaxy watch or the gear s3, the is no need to upgrade, the wow factor fades pretty quick with this watch 3.
Thank You
I was not planning to get it since the price of 430 dollars plus 10 per cent tax in Washington was not worth it for me. the reason is that i already have the original galaxy watch . this morning Amazon had it for just over 360 dollars and I decided to buy it. I have been looking for a black watch anyway. by the way. let me mention that Amazon is amazing. I ordered before 8 am and the watch was delivered before noon. wow. even if I would have waited for bestbuy to open and go and pick it up, I wouldn't be home by noon.
The watch is very nice, the hardware has a premium feeling and look. The screen is perfect, it is very bright and colors pop.
The watch case has been refined a lot since the original watch. it is smaller, however not small as samsung says. samsung says the case is 45 millimetre but when I measure it, i get 47.5 mm. the circular bezel is 45 but the case itself is larger. also it is thicker than what samsung says. samsung mentions 11.1 thickness, but I measure it at over 13 millimetres. maybe millimetres in Korea are bigger than the millimetres in U S. ha ha. I am fine with those numbers, I prefer big watches.
The galaxy watch had the same issue, it measured way over 46 millimetres.
If you have a samsung watch already, there is nothing really new in this watch. the software feels the same as my old Galaxy watch. the new watch has the blood oxygen sensor, it took a couple tries to get my reading. also I'm not really amazed since my samsung phone has that sensor already. the Blood pressure and e c g functions are turned off right now.
Honestly I wouldn't trust a watch to give me an accurate reading on my blood pressure, I would prefer Samsung to take 100 dollars off the price of this watch and forget the blood pressure sensor. anyway the blood pressure machines are free in the United states, you can measure it in most groceries stores, blood pressure devices are pretty cheap too.
The look of the watch is amazing, but after just a few hours of wearing it, i feel like it resembles any other watch honestly, like my old galaxy watch or my watch gt. when my wife saw it, she said. it looks the same as all your other smart watches. I wonder if Samsung could have done something here to amaze us instead of going with the same regurgitated watch case since the gear s 3.
as a recommendation i would say, if you have the galaxy watch or gear s 3. I probably wouldn't pay the full retail price for it. it feels and looks 90 per cent the same.
If I didn't have any samsung watch or i had a smaller 42 millimetre version and i want a bigger watch, yes i would get it.
now that i am complaining let me complain about the fact that the old galaxy watch chargers do not work with this new version. and the new charger doesn't work with the old samsung watches. they try to charge but fail. and samsung doesn't include the wall adapter this time, it just includes the cable.
Also as usual samsung watches, the chargers take their sweet time to charge the watches, you can measure it in hours and not minutes.
So yeah, i have mixed feelings about this watch because it really didn't improve much my smartwatch experience, it is the best samsung watch experience but it was not a knock out punch to the old watches.
now i'm not surprised that amazon lowered the price so quickly.
Thank you and stay tuned for more comparisons
the smaller one is the Casio Edifice ECB900 P
the bigger one is the casio g shock GSTS100
I had to return the casio edifice because instantly I didn't like the style.
the hour markers have a mirror finish instead of black color. also the band is way too long and sticks out too much.
the g shock has black hour markers and the band is shorter, even though it is a bigger watch.
out of these 2 black watches I prefer the g shock. I think it has a little more attention to detail, the buttons are not black in the g shock... I think they look better this way.
The edifice has Bluetooth and the g shock doesn't. honestly. the g shock keeps perfect time and it doesn't need that. the Bluetooth in regular casio watches is not used to show you notifications, it is used only to adjust the time and settings... it is not a big deal to do it manually... and this way you don't have to download another app in your phone that it is always running in the background. let's keep it simple.
I love these hybrid dial watches, not only you can see the time, but also you can see the date, month and day information. super useful. also they have LED light, they are so bright that I use the light to illuminate my path when the lights are out.
This G shock is one of my favorite watches ever, it is not my top watch though. because as you guys know my favorite watch is the g shock g s t b 200.
That watch is perfect in my opinion and that is why i have named it. the best g shock watch ever for now.
Black Casio
51.5 x 48.0 x 13.9 mm
Silver G-Shock:
53.3×49.2×14.5mm
This is a quick video with really good footage of the best G shock ever. model number G S T B 200 and the new Casio Edifice E C B 900 P B.
I just did a video of the Casio edifice, if you watch it, you'll find that this black watch is not really my favorite, and ended up storing it, and as soon as Macy's reopened their stores due to the covid thing, I was the first in line to return it.
After editing this video and looking at that gorgeous footage, I don't know if i should have kept it instead, it looks pretty nice.
Honestly, the functions on these watches is very similar, both are solar powered, both have world time and alarms, both are analog and digital and both have Bluetooth connectivity. the price is different though.
the g shock cost 280 dollars and the black casio cost 240 dollars.
i can't explain what it is, but when you hold them, you can feel like the prices are correct, there is something on the g shock that makes it feel much more premium than the black casio.
anyway the size of both are great, the g shock is a bit more chunky and i like that, the band in the black casio is very long and it doesn't work on my 6 and 3 quarters wrist, both bands have similar design, they both have a 3 d cube pattern. I don't really like it, but it doesn't bother me too much either.
The buttons on the g shock are much nicer, the case is also nicer too. the hands and the hour markers also. it feels like there is better attention to details on the g shock.
If I had to choose only one of these. of course I'll choose the G-shock..
Thanks for watching
I got this watch because I was looking for an all black watch. so during this pandemic, i was not able to go to the store to try them. so i decided to order it online from Macy's. I was able to use a 25 percent coupon and I got it for 180 plus taxes.
These days shipping is taking forever, so after 2 weeks of waiting, I finally got it.
I wish all my watches were always a home run, but this casio edifice, I don't think it is a home run. I wanted an all black watch, and this is an almost all black watch. but in my opinion it has a very bad flaw... the hour markers are way too reflective, they are mirror finish. so at some angles, the watch look dark as it should, but at other angles the hour markers look silver and ruin the watch looks. it reminds me the look of a cheap fossil watch. also it reminds me of watches sold a clothing stores like express here in the united states.
this watch is not all black like the gst 200. in the gst, the hour markers are black.
So this edifice has a nice case, nice size, nice dial, the band is just okay, i think the band is too long and I don't like the fake stitching.
the Huawei watch 2 and the g shock gst 200, both very old, are much better all black watches. Most likely I'll return this casio watch... I hate to return stuff but I just don't see myself wearing this at all. it is a shame, in online pictures it looked great. I just don't love it and don't want to have it sitting next to my other nice watches.
Thanks for watching.
Sofa is showing some wear on the middle seat (not smooth surface anymore) This video was after 2 weeks of owning them.. now after 1.5 months they look exactly the same. so they should be ok for durability
Grey color looks fancy. Great price (IKEA price almost)
Thanks

It comes with a free sample of simplehuman bags. I usually use the 13 Gallon bags...that has been working great so far.
I have two of these.
The best band after market watch band that you can buy is the Gear S3 watch band. there are many many vendors for this band. Like Samsung obviously.
I bought these from Amazon, they cost less than 10 U S dollars and the quality is pretty good. I bought a few black and a few other colors. I don't recommend the original samsung band because I ordered 2 of those from bestbuy and they are very stiff and ,also, the size is kind of small to medium only.
I prefer the bands that i got in amazon, these specifically.
The reason i like this band is because it tapers really nice, it also covers the lugs and it has quick release pins.
I do prefer by a long shot bands that taper over the ones that are just straight. the tapering makes them look more premium, there is a reason why Rolex and AP and many other high end watch brands often include the tapering feature.
I can't believe that the best watch band comes from a tech company and not a watch company... even the quick release pins come from tech companies... what is the excuse for that!. Anyway, that discussion is for another time, if you are looking for a 22 millimeter watch band.. look no more, I highly recommend this one.
The only thing you may want to do with this band is to change the buckle with a bit more nicer one. the one included with this band is a bit dull and thin, other than that I have no issues. I have been using this bands since two years ago and I still love them.
Thanks for watching.
This G shock model is the GSTB200. I bought this watch new from Macy's and the list price is 280 u s dollars. However due to the holidays I was able to apply a 25 percent discount on it. So at the end I paid 210 dollars plus taxes.
I have been wearing this watch for about 3 months now and i can say that i love it. specially the style, the hybrid dial. the metal case. the carbon core. the fact that you don't need to charge it, since it is solar powered. the fact that it syncs the time and settings with your smartphone using Bluetooth. it has a world time feature.also the combination of the rubber band and metal case, makes the watch style very refreshing.
This watch has the best proportions, the band is not too wide or not too narrow, case is not small and not huge, it has a good thickness.
This watch checks all the boxes to make it a winner and. in my opinion. this is the best g shock watch for 2020. it beats any of the other G Shocks. There is some good iconic g shocks like the GW 5600 but they are made of plastic and the build quality are not to the levels of this modern watch. there are more expensive G shocks like the MRG but those are just too big. and honestly for the exuberant price, they do not offer much more value than this one.
Yes there are other g shocks with probably more features, but you can not get a better looking watch, and at the end, in my opinion, that is what matters most.
I have the silver version of this watch, but there is a black version too.
I already have a blacked out g shock, and that is the reason that i got the silver version.
The g shock GST is a beautiful design, refined, tough, functional, i honestly think this in one of the best watches design period. you can say that is a mixture between an A P diver and a Hublot big bang. it has a lot of substance and refinement. it is fun and functional.
Casio has just come out with a new GST model, the silver one, this one i believe, it is the best g shock watch on the market, the reasons are simple, metal case combined with carbon, Bluetooth connectivity but you don't need to use a charger, it is solar powered, hybrid dial, this is analog hands and lcd screen. also for style, it has a tapered band.
This new GST is a smaller than the old GST (the black one). i believe this silver GST has the perfect size, it is a big watch but it looks pretty good in my 6 and 3 quarters wrist. height is good and band is not too thick, thick band do not look nice in my opinion. usually g shocks tend to have a wide band... sometimes they use a double buckle, yes that feature may be practical, but it looks horrible in my opinion.
On the old black g shock I love the dial, and believe it or not i love the fact that it doesn't have a seconds hand, so clean, i have gotten very good comments on this watch.
One thing that i have notice while wearing these watches, is that they are great for travel, they both have world time, you don't have to be guessing the time with a fourth hand like in the Rolex g m t. in these watches you have a second screen to see the second time.
There you have it, these are the two best g shocks in the market, they are gorgeous, functional and modern. the list price for both is 280 dollars.
If i could only have one i would choose the new GST B200. that one is a home run for Casio. i have been wearing it non stop for two weeks now, it killed all my other watches.
You have to love the attention to detail, for example, the hands in the dark version have a black outline, while on the silver one, the hands are silver, they could easily use the same finish on both to save money but they didn't. also if you see the digital screen, the silver g shock has a silver font and inverted screen, while on the black g shock, it is also an inverted screen, but the font is brownish to match the style. same thing with the bezel screws, the black one has brownish looking screws.
these are some incredible cool looking watches.
I had the samsung galaxy watch for a while and i wanted a new watch to put it in the mix. i must say that this watch gt looks very very similar to the samsung, pretty much no one that is not into watches notice that i have a different watch, specially because i use the same band on both.
I bought the watch gt in back in April this year. i was surprised it was that cheap, if you look at it, many g shocks are more expensive than this one, and this one is a smart watch, with stainless steel case, and ceramic bezel, who else offers an stainless steel case and ceramic for two hundred dollars.
the only two reasons i got this watch is the ceramic bezel and the battery life.
the ceramic bezel is a premium feature in watches and the battery life is so important for you to use your watch.
the galaxy watch has great battery life, however the charging speed is very very slow because it is wireless charging, I can not just charge it for 20 mins while i take a shower because that wouldn't be enough to get through the day, sometime while using the Galaxy I end up taking the charger to work to finish charging it. that is crazy and i don't have that problem at all with the Huawei , it just last forever. what is forever? 30 days with the screen turned off. it is amazing.
it is water resistant so you don't have to worry about that. you could even swim with it.
i have a few things that i don't like on this watch. first of all, the Bluetooth can not be turned off, that is super weird, and it doesn't have wi-fi either, i usually leave my smart watches not connected to my phone because i noticed a little extra battery drain on my phone when my watches are connected to it, all the health features work just fine even if it is not connected.
it doesn't have a speaker, i'm not a fan of doing phone calls in my watch but i like sound on my alarms, this watch only vibrates.
i wish the heart rate monitor had a setting like every other smartwatch to check your heart rate periodically, in the Huawei you can only set it to always on, or completely off.
i wish it had more standby watch faces, it only has 2, also i wish it had more regular watch faces, it has only 14 faces and you can not add more or change the complications.
and those are my only complains about this watch
all things considered, i'm sure i would buy this watch again,
it is all about the looks and the battery life. Huawei was right on using low specification hardware in favor of a superb battery life. for texting, weather, phone calls, etc, i have my phone, i don't want a computer on my wrist, i just want the time, date, steps, calories, heart rate, and i don't want to worry about running out of battery.
I'll say the following, let's say i could only buy one watch between the galaxy and the Huawei . I think I would get the Huawei , you may prefer the galaxy but as you have seen, i just need a watch that looks good and to have a little more, like steps and a few health features. the galaxy watch is much more powerful but it uses more battery and in my opinion the Huawei looks better.
the watch gt two has been announced, and, i don't know about you guys, but i think the screen and bezel look much better in the original gt, i like a prominent bezel. for me, my watch gt is a winner. and i won't be getting the new watch gt 2, because as i said, the front of the watch is much nicer on my watch. thank you for watching.
Everyone thinks that a Louis Vuitton bag is expensive, and maybe they are, but i think this model, the Neverfull, has a very good value, the bag itself is pretty big, and it even includes a mini pouch. this one has the most classic pattern, but there are many different patterns and colors.
Regarding my purchase, I bought this purse in the L V boutique at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, it was a very pleasant experience; they offered drinks while shopping. after two days of using the purse, we notice that the top leather trim was like undoing itself (lifting up) right where the seam is. I wish i had taken a picture. so we went to another L V boutique here in Seattle and they were able to exchange it without problem. it just took some extra minutes because there is a tax difference between Seattle and Las Vegas, so it took a couple more clicks in the system, but all went smoothly, I didn't have to pay anything besides 8 dollars parking for 30 minutes. it is Seattle after all.
one thing i discovered is that most, if not all the bags sold in U S, are manufactured here in the U s, i always Thought, that all L V bags came from France, but that is no longer correct, L V has many factories in the U S.
for some peace o mind LV includes a tag that says it was manufactured with imported materials.
checking the inside tags of the bags, the bad one, the one that we bought in vegas, was manufactured in Texas 2019, and the new one, the one in this video, was manufactured in S D, San Diego in 2019 . I believe the texas location is new and maybe they don't have the same experience than the old San Diego location. anyway, after 4 months with the bag, everything remains good.
Now,I will end the video just with a recommendation, use your bag as soon as you get it, so you can catch any problems like it happened to me, also if you are going to buy this bag, buy it at a L V boutique, there are never discounts on it, there is no black friday at Louis Vuitton.
I wound't buy it used because the price at certified places like the real real is around 1150. that is crazy because for 170 dollars more you get a brand new one, also there is a little more peace of mind, because for a few days you can go back to the store if something goes bad, just like it happened to me.
Also crazier than that is that the little pouch that comes free with your bag, is being sold for more than 500 dollars. buying new, it is a much better option.
Now for the very end, would i buy it again?, the answer is an easy YES!. it cost just a bit more than an iphone x s max and this bag is probably the most recognized luxury item and, probably it will last for many years, so paying more than a thousand dollars for something that you could use daily for years is a great purchase, it is like driving a luxury car everyday, but the purse, doesn't require costly maintenance .
We asked the lady at the store and she said ,that, the colors on this bag, the one in this video, is the original color, red interior, brown exterior, and this specific pattern, these days, due to the success of this model, there are many colors and patterns, but if you want the most iconic one, go for these colors.
my first ever smart watch was the Huawei watch 2, i bought this watch in amazon 2 years ago in prime day, it was only 210 dollars, it initially retailed for 300 dollars and I always kept a close eye on it because, contrary to what all the online reviews, for me it looks great, but not everyone likes it, i think almost every tech review didn't like it because of the extensive use of plastic that is true, the only part of this watch that has metal is the back of the watch and the buckle, but I still think it looks good, honestly, i prefer to have black plastic than painted metal, painted metal scratches after some time.
anyway i though that the watch 2 was pretty cheap but i got the watch gt for even less, i got it for only 199, in amazon again.
Huawei has some issues on the us and it is affecting their products prices, bad for Huawei ,but good for the consumers.
if you think about it, 199 dollar is pretty low for a watch. i believe this is one of my cheapest watches. i spent more on eating out this weekend than what i spent on this watch, it cost 199 and it has ceramic bezel and a nice stainless steel case.
i believe the cheapest rolex with ceramic bezel is around 8000 dollars, i really like this, if there was no ceramic bezel i probably wouldn't own any Huawei watches
this is a comparison video, but it is not even a comparison for the battery, the battery life on these watches is extremely different. the Huawei watch 2 last for about 1 and a half day with my usage and the watch gt last 15 times more, that is a little more than a month.
one of the main reasons i stopped using the watch 2 is because after a few months it starts to be annoying to always charge your watch every day
and if you are below 40% you need a quick little 15 minutes charge to make sure you'll make it to the end of the day, i worry about putting gas on my car, charging my phone, i don't need to worry about also charging my watch that often, for me battery is one of the most important feature,
if your watch doesn't have a good battery life, you'll end up not using it that much.
the old watch 2 is only i p 68 rated that means that is not recommended to swim with it, however the new one is 50 meter water resistant and it is OK to swim with it. maybe the new watch gt is better able to withstand the water because it has no speaker, i didn't know that, i usually appreciate an audible alarm for example. or an hourly chime, you can not do that in the G T.
for those who like to make calls using your watch,
that is only possible on the old one, and it works just fine, i have tested it a few times.
other reason why i stopped using the old watch 2 is because at certain angles the watch looks, for lack of a better word, it looks cheap, the black plastic on the case doesn't match the band 's color and the side of the watch looks cheap to me, the watch gt looks much better, even if you install a rubber band.
The old watch 2 wins big in the software department, it has Wear O.S by Google and the new watch gt has a proprietary very limited O S.
I think wear O.S is just the best watch O.S right now, it has all the features that you could ever want, however it uses way too much battery, i have done tests where i turn off everything in the watch and don't use it and sit on a drawer, it barely lasts 4 days this way, with absolutely no usage, on the other hand the new watch gt as i said last for more than a month, with my daily usage.
For me the watch gt is and upgrade from the watch 2, and that is just because I can use it more due to the amazing battery. i wish it had a speaker and a bit more watch faces. but even as it is, I prefer my GT to the watch 2.
but the Huawei has the looks and trashes the Samsung in battery life.
the Huawei watch gt and the Samsung galaxy watch.
The Retail price for the Samsung is 350 dollars and the price for the watch GT is 230 dollars. that is about 30 percent less than the samsung.
the feel of the watch is much different too, the gt feels very light but the galaxy feels more solid, like more premium. I prefer the feel of the samsung but i prefer the looks of the watch gt. the watch gt has a premium ceramic bezel that looks beautiful, also there are more polished surfaces on the case.
i prefer the thickness on the galaxy watch, the watch gt is very thin, i like thicker watches. but i know most of the people prefer a thinner watch, it is just personal preferences.
the Galaxy watch software is much better, in the Huawei there is pretty much no customization whatsoever, there are just a few watch faces and you can not add more or customize the existing ones, you can't change the face colors or choose what to display in the dials, for the Galaxy watch, there are pretty much unlimited possibilities, there are many watch faces in he Galaxy store and many of the official ones are customizable. although after a few months i found out that i just use one face all the time.
if you get the watch gt expect to just have a couple watch faces, step counter, basic notifications, heart rate and some sleep tracking. you can not turn off Bluetooth and there is no airplane mode, also there is no wi-fi. and settings like raise to wake have to be adjusted at the phone app, you can't do it on the watch and also you can't adjust the time in your watch, it takes the time from your cellphone. to turn on the always on heart rate monitor you have to use the phone too.
The watch GT doesn't have a speaker so you can't make phone calls using the watch. with the galaxy watch you can make phone calls because it has a speaker.
I have only once used my galaxy watch to receive a phone call, it was by mistake, but sound was pretty good and caller said i sounded okay.
on the Huawei there is no always on display, there is only a feature called show time and that will leave the screen on for 5 minutes.
the samsung can pretty much do 70 percent of what your cellphone does and all settings are configurable within the watch itself.
you can say that the galaxy watch is a true smartwatch and the watch gt is a fitness tracker that looks like a watch.
Ok, so Samsung's software is much better, but in the battery life department, the Huawei comes back strong. I bought the watch GT 2 months ago. and I have charged only two times. each charge has lasted me more than a month. that is impressive. I'm afraid of losing the charger because I just don't use it. the samsung just lasts a week with the same usage. a week of battery life is acceptable, i just wish the samsung would charge faster.
with the watch gt, you will get an usb c cable and the galaxy watch still uses a micro usb, i appreciate the usb c cable because my phone has the same input.
Both are water resistant to 50 meter, so it is OK to swim, no need to worry about getting the watch wet. I never remove my watch while taking a shower, I even turn on the screen to see the time and there is no problem.
at the end would i buy them again?. the answer is yes for the Huawei and yes for the Samsung, however if i had had the Huawei first, i probably wouldn't had bought the Samsung.
if you prefer the looks on the Samsung, then the Samsung will be a perfect watch for you, just look for a sale, the galaxy watch usually goes on sale for less than 300 dollars.
leather band shouldn't be put in water...
No problem whatsoever with the water test, I even pressed the buttons a couple times while under water.

I already got the Galaxy watch, but sometimes I prefer to wear a full black watch, like the Huawei. but as you know, i keep complaining about the cheap materials on it, the plastic case and the dull looking band. so, i was forced to look for another watch, and the Gear Sport is what i got. it has an all metal case, it is black, the band is very nice looking and it has a coin edge bezel, i still prefer the look of the ceramic bezel on the Huawei, but all things considered, in my opinion, the Galaxy Gear Sport looks much better. I have gotten great comments while wearing it.

Galaxy Watch Review.
This is a review after 2 months of using: the brand new for 2018 Samsung Galaxy Watch.
I bought the larger Galaxy watch, the 46 millimeter version, which by the way is not 46 millimeters, it is 48 and a half. 46 millimeters is just the bezel, that is why it wears so large, no way this watch wears like a 46, the wah-way watch is 45 and it wears way smaller than this, not just 1 millimeter smaller.
The Huawei watch 2 was released on April 2017 and the samsung galaxy watch was released on august 2018. there is about one year and a half between them.
The galaxy watch is wears way bigger than the Huawei . the case is 46 millimeters vs 45 millimeters, you can see that the case size is similar but the galaxy watch looks and wears much larger. the height is about the same but the wah way feels much thicker than the galaxy.
the strap is 22 millimeters on the galaxy watch, and 20 on the wah way, i like both straps because they taper, they are not straight, so it looks nice. the material on the galaxy is looks much nicer, the band on the wah way looks almost cheap.
talking about cheap looks, i think the biggest flaw on the Huawei is the cheap looking case and band. listen this. the only reason i bought the galaxy watch was because the materials that samsung use, nicer looking strap and the case is mostly stainless steel with brushed and polished accents. it is really weird because Huawei has the nicest and fanciest bezel, it is made out of ceramic... ceramic is only used on high end watches like rolex or omega, it looks awesome.
the way the bezel reflects the light is awesome, the galaxy watch doesn't even come close to that... i appreciate the shiny numbers on the bezel though.
let me go straight to the point, this script is taking forever to write... the software on the watches is very very different, android wear is light years ahead of the Taizen , O S on the galaxy... android is much more refined, Taizen looks like it was designed during the last century, apps are nicer on the Huawei. believe me, there is almost no comparison. Taizen has bugs here and there, sometimes it lags.
