Split Decision on this one. I unboxed and reviewed G-Shock’s Fine Metallic Gold Square, the GM5600YMG-9, and you guys commented. Some responded with disgust and some with praise. There was no consensus!
But all the comments were good. Except for that one guy Turd Ferguson. So I read them and responded right here in this video.
The best comment came from the Time Bombardier who said “C3PO just called asking for his watch back.”
AI Summary
As is custom on the jimkinkade.com website, I fed this video to Google’s Gemini AI to summarize. And since I am reading your comments I have no idea how it will respond to this prompt. But here it is:
Here’s a summary of Jim Kinkade’s video responding to comments about the GM-5600YMG G-Shock watch:
- Design and Aesthetics: Viewers had mixed opinions. Some saw a resemblance to C3PO, while others appreciated the look. Some found it too shiny or “blingy,” unsuitable for stealth. The video discussed whether the watch leans more towards fashion or tool watch. One person liked the gold band.
- Features and Functionality: A viewer pointed out the absence of MTO band 6 and solar features. There was interest in the band’s scratch resistance and overall durability. One comment suggested Casio should make watches for specific professions.
- Comparisons and Preferences: One compared it to a “Terminator watch.” Some preferred resin bands for cold weather, and one preferred silver over gold. A viewer wished for reissues of older, more functional models.
- General Sentiments: Opinions were divided, with some loving it and others not. Some felt G-Shock is becoming a “cheap fashion brand,” and one called the watches “basically junk.”
The video also mentioned a possible review of the GX56TU King G-Shock and an upcoming unboxing of the silver version of the watch.
MTO Band 6?! What the heck is that? I said Multiband 6. I guess AI thinks I said MTO Band 6. Let me ask it what it thinks MTO Band 6 is.
It appears that “MTO Band 6” in the context of G-Shock watches is most likely a misunderstanding or a conflation of terms. Here’s a breakdown of what those terms might refer to, and why they’re distinct:
- Multi-Band 6:
- This is a common feature in many higher-end G-Shock watches.
- It refers to the watch’s ability to receive time calibration signals from radio transmitters in six locations around the world.
- This ensures that the watch maintains accurate timekeeping by automatically correcting itself.
- Mi Band 6:
- This is a fitness tracker made by Xiaomi.
- It’s a separate product entirely, unrelated to G-Shock watches.
- It offers features like heart rate monitoring, step tracking, and sleep analysis.
- “MTO”
- It is possible that the “MTO” is a mishearing, or a mis-typing of “Multi” in Multi-Band 6.
- Also “MTO” can mean “Made To Order” when used in retail. This is likely not the case when talking about G-Shock functions.
Therefore, when someone mentions “MTO Band 6” in a G-Shock context, they’re most likely referring to “Multi-Band 6,” the radio-controlled timekeeping feature. It is very unlikely that they are talking about a Xiaomi Mi band.
I hope that clears things up.
This is so typical of AI! It makes a mistake and you ask it to clarify then it treats you like the dummy for even asking. LOL. Anyway watch the video then buy the G-Shock GM5600YMG-9 by clicking here on this affiliate link.
