hello everyone GHF here back at you fwith another g-shock unboxing a review video
today I'm gonna review a vintage master of G watch called the master of G
fishermen well before proceed even further I am currently wearing another vintage
master of G watch, and that is the AW-570, the mudman g-shock ana-digi version
and there's a lot of master of g watches at the back as well, master of G
usually features something that most g-shock just didn't have. So it is coming
special, in this case, it was released in the year 1996, so it is quite a big deal
if you compare to the age and also all the watch that was released in the
year 1996. So for example, this watch feature a titanium parts most of them, not the
hard case, the hard case is still resin hard case, but all the metal, tiny
metal parts, is made out of titanium and thus allowed is watch to be used thoroughly
in the ocean, in the middle of the sea, by the beach, while you're fishing, basically
exposed to salt water without having to worry about if your watch; if your metal
parts; if the metal parts in your G Shock watch will begin to rust because
titanium is rust resistant. It is not as tough as stainless steel but it is
tougher in that type of environment so that's why this watch is a big deal.
Not just that, Casio add a lot more functions that will becoming handy if
you're a fisherman, all this variables really really matters for mistaken I'm a
huge fishing guy myself but I do know a little bit about this type of topic, so
knowing that this watch could do or perform all those feature, it is..I gotta say
it is really really incredible, not just that, there's a lot more, so let's run to
all of them, but firstly let's start with the watch construction. So, which is
incredible by the way. The watch feature.. well, you guys can already see this is
how the overall piece looks like right now the buttons feature..only four of
them in red color way for this specific series, it is square, sorta like a round
in shape with three stripes, for the texture for a better grip; both sides
goes with the same type of construction, the watch band was locked with two
screws in tinium as well, similar to the screwed as
locking this mud man or gulf man model today I believe the gulfman, the
recent G-9100 Gulfmann is so like the predecessor for this fisherman I mean
this watch is dead stock but Casio, replaced that with the Gulfman since the
material is still the same, anyway moving on
it does features a ring on top to support the watch to make it looks
tougher and also indeed to make it..it is a little bit more tougher, I already
disassembled the watch to see how it was constructed another say it is a really
interesting watch, it has five layers of protection in there, so this is definitely
gonna be worth while.
We'll have a red g-shock on top and white writings,
lettering on the side with G stamped at the front over here that is not the light
button, this is just for aesthetics, the light button will be access on this upper
right corner which will glows in green color way, electroluminescene that is.
Alright, I'm way ahead of myself right now into the functions right. Let's move back
out to the watch strap, which does feature a stamp of a 'fishermen' writings
down there, so there's interesting literally, just tell you guys that this is the
fisherman and it does feature this texture in the middle of this watch band,
the watch band is straight but tapered in a weird manner at the tip over here
which is really interesting I don't think I'm seeing any g-shock watch that
have this type of watch band at all right and similar to this other side of
the watch band and this side will have a rust resistant
well it is similar to this guy right, here is rust resistant frogman g-shock watch
because it is titanium and also titanium case over there in this case fishermen
and rust resistant the watch band keeper however is made out of resin which
already disintegrated, I mean this was already 20 years old all of the resin
part definitely will start begin to disintegrate but surprisingly the watch
band on a vintage G-Shock watch, usually will last a lot longer than any other
parts in there including the engine sometimes this is the watch buckle, which
looks incredible different it is not the most practical one but it is the best
one yet for safety I wear the watch quite a few times
and I gotta say it is not easy to wear the watch with this double buckle but it
is really really secure I never felt much more safer when compared to when
wearing other watches at the back I mean I have a lot of G Shock watches you know
but when I'm wearing this..this one feels secure, this.. not everything, I mean this one
feels secure not the gulfmaster, it will sit on your wrist the whole time you're
wearing the watch, so we'll see now there is a Casio Japan signed below it, in this
titanium buckle, matte finishing. And by the way, I replaced the watch band keeper
with this metal bar I have that are taken out from other G Shock watches
that get quite a pretty good job similar way where when I use on my gulfmaster
this type of buckle is really really comfortable, if you haven't tried this one
yet, please do you'll never gonna switch to a
resin band keeper anymore.. I'm sorry not buckle, band keeper. Anyway, moving back
to the back plate, you'll see that it is made out of titanium, it is locked with
four screws only on each corner which also made out of titanium as well, and it
is pretty interesting to see the emblem, the logo for a fisherman that featured a
mermaid, I didn't see this coming at all, it should be something more manly usually
but this time it is a mermaid, Anyway they have the Casio, one five one nine
module, dw - eight nine zero sorry eight six zero zero reference number,
Japan titanium back, water resistant to 20 bar, and of course fisherman and
shock resistant structure. So fully made in Japan g-shock watch packed with a lot
of feature, made for fisherman or any sea, ocean, beach related activities so
this is incredible man, just look at a glimpse; it'll instantly will reminds you
of the frogman g-shock watch, let me compare them side to side look at that
the feature are almost the same as well except the frogmen didn't have any
sensor at all, this guy has a thermometer sensor and tide graph and moon phase,
basically you know what, this watch has more function than the frogman, if I
would like to compare, this is much more comparable to the gulfmaster really
because it has the sunrise and sunsets, thermometer reading and all those, so yeah
this one is better for comparison and talking about the functions though
that's moving on to the ones face and have a look right away what else that
this watch will offers to you. So three digital display panel. The 'eye'
will display you the thermometer reading right away, you can swap the digital
display down here to displayed day- thermometer-time display instead or
just regular Day-Date display as I already mentioned you could use the
upper and bottom for EL backlighting and of course you'll have this moon phase
and tide graph display on top right away at hometown keeping for tide prediction,
knowing when the tides gonna go up and down will significantly impact your
activity or result in more catch if you are gonna be using this for fishing of
course. Next function will be moon up and moon down, not sunrise and sunset but
or should I say moon rise or moon set?? the watch will tells you the moon age and also the
time where the moon will be at the lowest point and the time where the moon
will be at a higher point. This is important for you to predict how strong
a tide would be, you will also be able to predict all this every single day
in advance, so that is interesting. Pressing mode button, will bring you back to
hometown keeping, pressing mode button again will brings you to the uh sunrise and
sunset mode. Of course you're gonna need to know the time when the Sun gonna go
up, when the suns gonna go down because that will affect the uh temperature change.
And also the weather change, which soon will affect how the fish will act or
react to that so it's pretty important. Next is alarm, this watch will feature I
believe just a single alarm right and this is how it will sounds like, while
setting the alarm, you do have access to timekeeping on top of there so that is
really convenient. Next function, uh sorry, moon,
sunrise, alarm, and stopwatch with a precision to 1 over 100 seconds ranging
all the way to 24 hour. Pretty cool, you could time your fishing; just to make
sure or just to know how many minutes that would it take for you to catch
something so that is pretty nice as well. So, you could stop this, you could split time,
as well if you wanted to, and that's pretty much it. There are no countdown
timer at all in here, nothing else so obviously recent release G Shock watch is
better but this watch in my opinion for the price; is really incredible. It
till that about 21,000 Japanese yen but if you're purchasing this watch today it
will cost almost half the price of that which in turns similar to most g-shock
watch; entry-level G Shock watch we got today. So knowing that this watch has a
lot of functions and the price is roughly similar to most low-end G Shock
watch today if you find one of these I highly highly recommend you guys to grab
you right it away especially if you found this in a great condition definitely
definitely a good catch. This is totally worth it, the watch.. I mean overall of
course you're gonna need to make sure the condition is great but overall it is
a really really good time piece, you know what, I can't wait to wear this watch on
my wrist and show you guys how it will looks like, when you're putting this
strap into the buckle it is slightly, not as smooth like when you are wearing other
G Shock watches, you gonna be able to feel a little bit of resistance so
that's pretty nice, look at that I didn't even put a buckle yet but the watch
already stick on my wrist so that is a nice indicator as well but not as easy
to be put, but for professional wear, this watch feels really really safe now
add it in the buckle down there, I could just wear the watch from here and you
are good to go because the strap is pretty thick and they are built really
tightly, and it is pretty stiff as well, so it will snug, sits snug on there but if
you want a better security if you want to feel a lot more secure, you could
slide it in this side of the buckle which is not gonna be easy at all, look at that
I'm struggling right now but there it is once you add it in here the watch is
pretty much stick on there this is not gonna go anywhere at all now put the
band keeper pull it all the way up and there it is not a lot of extended tongue
at all I'm wearing it hole number two from the
top, so if you have a skinnier wrist, this is also a good deal
incredible g-shock watch which is really underrated I don't know why probably
because not a lot of people know about this I make this one was released like
two decades ago so I didn't expect anyone to be able to know about this
watch, there aren't a lot of people talking about this watch anyway
but now you do, you could find this information out there, I already talked
about this. So if you have any concern, idea or comment, please leave them in the
comment section down below, it can be pretty helpful to everyone as well in
order to decide whether this watch is perfect for them or not but for me my
personal opinion, I gotta say this is a great great catch (pun intended), alright so that sums it
all up if you want to see me unbox more and more master of G, high-end master of
