1, gravity masters anagital wins over analog
2. price point
3. gw-3000, gw-3500 smaller, move colorful, and we already have these
4. f17 members are more likely to spend money on digital, anadigital than analog
5. sometimes, the release time is just not right, maybe people already spent on or saving for something

 

Thanks. For points 1&3, the Anafrog and the MRG/MTG/MST get plenty of adoration.

Here is mine

 

Does it see much use?

For point 3, the 3500 is AniDigital and the 3000 uses the tiny subdial for the chrono.

i meant the gw-4000 not gw-3500

you are funny, you asked why? I gave you the reasons the way I see it. DONE !

 

I owned at least 3 different versions of this watch. It's a pretty nice watch, comfortable, good looking. Lack of a backlight not ideal. I think I sold mine because my attention got diverted to other models like the GPW-1000.

They came out 5-6 years ago at least, so that's probably why they're not seen on here often.

Another small stopwatch subdial. ☹

I've recently been looking into getting an analog G with a very legible chrono. Thanks to member feedback here, I've been looking into the GW-A1100. Is there any reason why it didn't get mentioned much here, recently not in searching past posts? I know it doesn't have an hourly beep nor a light. However, it looks pretty good for functionality in an all analog model.

Love mine...

 

Aside from the detachable resin, is there anything else to differentiate this orange model from the standard black model?

It probably just fell through the cracks. It was released at a time when there were several other high end G-Shocks and those over shadowed it. it is a nice watch and looks very good in person. It seems well made without any resin creaking sounds when you flex your wrist.

As for a analog G-Shock with a chrono that is easy to read, the Gravitymaster GPW-2000 is the big daddy. It is very easy to read. The lume is almost Seiko monster like and it has a LED backlight that you can use as a backup flashlight as it is so bright.

It also has multiband atomic sync, GPS sync and Bluetooth sync making it one of the few watches to have all 3 sync features (along with a few Oceanus models)

 

The GPW-2000 uses the little subdial for stopwatch.

...I like mine, too, an it is nearly the same module as in the Oceanus OCW-P1000 and the Edifice EQW-A1200...

Best regards

I like mine a lot although I don't wear it as often as some others (e.g. the Q1000 Gulfmaster) because 1) it doesn't have an LED, 2) is not an ana-digi, and 3) doesn't have great lume (the Seiko Tuna beats everything in that department as far as I'm concerned). But it looks good, has sapphire, and I do bust it out when it's sunny and I'm in the mood to wear it 😊

 

Also, the GW-4000 doesn't use the main dial for the stopwatch. Docbrauni is correct that this other non-G models use the main dial for stopwatch.

For a watch with no backlight, it’s lume is pretty decent, especially for a Casio. It went thru the full night for me before.

 

I owned it for a while. I loved the design and overall look of it. A few things I didn’t like:

1) too big and too thick for my 6.5inch wrist, despite not heavy.
2) some functions are not very practical on analog. For example, to shift to world time mode, you need to wait a minute or two for all the hands to spin to show 2nd timezone, then spin back to home time. Very slow. Similarly for timer or stopwatch, you need to wait for hands to spin to the right position to begin.
3) date window is too deep and hard to read.
4) not a issue for me at all, but there are some complaints about smart crown, that it gets accidentally unscrewed easily.

 

Thanks for those observations! I believe you can start the stopwatch before the hands set to noon. They'll catch up to the correct time.

cos its pushing 8 years old now, hence nothing recent. the gwa1000 is even older.
it was actually quite popular on here when they were new cos they were the start of the resurgence of the aviators which pushed the brand towards models like the gpw1000 and the gwrb1000. coupled with the mtg's it was also a big help in making high end analogs a thing for gshock.
they were a good size and rather light weight. the fc comp models classed things up with the bracelet and made for some very comfy wearing. the 1a2 and fc colourways are still some of the best looking all analog Gs ever imo

but of course being all analog using any functions at all is like trying to do a finishing move in mortal kombat. if you regularly use other functions, forget it.... actually forget analog in general, the format is simply doesnt lend itself to clear visibility on all functions.

As a Fighting game enthusiast, that MK reference was 🤣
I play Tekken 7 most of the time now. Best fighting game right now, bar none.

 

To those with this watch (or the similar Oceanus or Edifice), is the minute counting hour hand easy to read in stopwatch mode? It's much to short to reach to minute markers.

Honestly I pretty much never use the stopwatch on this model because ana-digis are so much easier to read and you have to leave timekeeping mode to do it. So not really easy to read. It will do in a pinch, but ... meh 😐

 

I love mine. Wore it today.
