Golden lines.. nobody likes fashion watches , but theres fashion in all watches.😊 its true watches are for most people a fashionn statement. And a status symbol for those few who can afford expensive ones. Love this watch. I will be buying as soon as i can afford to.. 😂

Hi, thank you for your video. I am planning to buy one, but still debate whether the leather or metal band. This leather band looks quite impressive. How has the leather band been so far? Does it deteriorate due to sweat?

Can i charge tough solar one in direct sunlight, will heat impact the watch and for how long i will charge in direct bright sunlight for full battery charge

As far as digital watches go my all time favorite is the original Timex Ironman triathlon, the one with the huge numbers display. You can read it really easily from far away with just a glance. I got a newer Timex Ironman Triathlon almost a year ago and I like it but the numbers are over 5× smaller that on the old model. When my new Ironman battery started getting so low that I couldn't view it in the dark anymore I put a new battery in my old Ironman thinking I could use the strap from my new one on my old (large display) one but although the straps look the same wouldn't work. So I used that as an excuse to buy my first G-Shock. I got the GA2100VB-1A. Is anyone familiar with the Casio GA2100VB-1A ? Hope I made a good selection, it's my first Casio and first G-shock obviously. Let me know if it's a good watch. I hope.

What modul does it have?

Both cute🩷♥️🩷♥️

I will go for the 1/100 Speedtimer instead. At least that's pretty original.

Why is everything a copy of Rolex? Has Rolex ever copied another brand? Last I checked chrono watches date back before Rolex even made one. It gets pretty annoying after a while.

I love the 5600. It’s comfortable , perfectly sized and doesn’t have all the goofy sub dials and clutter. Everything I need in a watch.

It is a non solar G-Shock. How long does the battery last?

Is it just me or is the 2100 thinner/more comfortable?

Mi dispiace di più 6anni nn le dava nessuno anzi con gli articoli ti mandavano con un schifo a casa il tribunale della libertà gra gra gra

Occhio ti tagliano un braccio poi lo toccano

Or not solar,

Ser that is solar ?

The G-Shock and other watches like it are still relevant to the people like me who believe a watch is just that... a watch.... something that I can look at to see what time it is or what the date is if I forget.... I don't need my watch to give me health tips, look at text messages, answer phone calls, or anything else... that's why I have a smart phone, iPhone to be exact... That either does or can do pretty much anything I want it to.... I have the classic G-Shock along with many other Cassio including my favorite the GD - 350... even the basics functions that they have I don't particularly use, but it's nice that they are there if I need them... I personally don't need my watch to give me any other information except the time and date... So your observation of the G-Shock and other watches being obsolete is strictly your opinion, and not necessarily those of everybody else, including myself.... Simply put, what may not work for you Ken and still does work for others

My favourite G-Shock is 5600 by Online Ceramics x Hodinkee.

$150 Australian? Woah man.. That's a eye-popping price. We have something called "Wal-mart" in the USA and they are sold there for $40. Even that is too high and can be found cheaper. I bought a new GMWB5000D-1 years ago for $300. You really should take a look at the silver metal g-shock square. I have the silver/gold/wine-red/matte black and the silver gets the most time on the wrist. Get someone in the US to buy it for you or something. You can look at the GMWB5000D-1 and know that it is 100% the modern submariner. This is what Rolex WISHES it had. Can you imagine how Rolex would be gloating if they invented multiband 6. That sucks you can't use multiband 6. You are in Australia so i take back everything i just said. Cheers.

They needed 200 tries to understand that rubber bounces ? And that’s the way to go?🤣

I have both, I like both. Another great Casio is the Casio Royale, that is my current new favorite digital watch.

$150 Australian? Ouch… they sell regularly here in the USA for $50, I just got one on sale for $29. Nice watch, classic style, terrible buttons though. I still wanted one just because of nostalgia. I also just bought a Casio Royale for only $20 and I am loving that even more than my 5600. All that said, I also have several automatic watches, my favorite is my Tissot Gentleman. But my daily wear, and gym watch is my Apple watch. You just can’t beat the functionality.

I have bought both gen 5 Bluetooth tough solar versions of these casioaks. I absolutely LOVE them both. Only 2 watches i own and will ever own. G2100 has a gold metal strap fitted for more posh events where the DW5600 is my workhorse! ❤️

Had the OG back in the mid 80s- purchased with grass cutting and paper route money. No idea what happened to that watch but I sure wish I still had it.

Very good review. I own several other watches (including an iWatch, 2 Casios but no G Shocks, Datejust, Omega Mars an Oris and others). I am a runner and over the past 5 yrs or so the iWatch became my daily. I have a few different straps that I alternate on the iWatch. Recently I replaced the battery on my oldest Casio, a 20+ yrs old Waveceptor, that works perfectly (again) and then I upgraded with a new Barton strap. Voila! That process was followed by a mini fascination about the G Shock. Initially I was focused on the classic Casio 5610 but eventually the Casioak won me over with its design and looks. Just ordered the GAB2100MF-1A with solar and bluetooth -- will float my review in a few weeks or so.

Casioak dial surface space is a little bit to too large for my preference. But, I otherwise like it. The squares are my G-shock preference in terms of function, design, and size.

5600 every time!

I’ve both. Due to its a sort of executive looks, I can wear CasiOak as a ‘dress watch’ to meetings while I can’t wear a Square for the same. On the other hand, for outdoor activities/events, I find the square more suitable.

My first G-Shock was a 1998 DW-9350 Raysman. The watch module is brilliant, working perfectly after 26 years. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of its resin bezel and strap. They crumbled away after 4 years and Casio never provided spares. I now have a collection of G-Shock squares including a number of GMW-B5000 stainless steels, a GW-5000U-1JF and my everyday cheapy, the G-5600UE. The GW-5000U-1JF is my favorite as it looks like the closest thing to the original DW-5000C with its resin bezel, strap and stainless-steel inner core. It's made for the JDM and Euro markets. There's no need for me to use anything else, other than G-Shock digitals.

Picked one up and this is my daily watch. Fantastic piece!

😅my paganni Paul Newman gives me the exact same vibe!

I rarely take my 5600 off, But when I do... It's usually for another Casio.

I believe it was the year 1987 when the 5600 line was first introduced, not 91. There is the classic 91W watch, but this one was from 87 I’m pretty sure. You can tell the difference between the old ones and the new ones from the bottom right of the screen. There will usually be a symbol of some sort like yours has. The old 91 has a U under there and I don’t know what your symbol is, but I can tell yours is legit. Edit: Yup! 1983 they had an epic commercial where hockey players allegedly hit it with the hockey stick. (I highly highly doubt that they really did hit it with the hockey stick lol. I’m really terrible at hockey and I bet I could break the crap out of it) 😂

My question would be how often you have to change the battery on a Germin vs a Gshock.

Have you change the battery?

White hands send clearly the time to the brain instantly. 😝😜🤪 2100

Question: did both the top and bottom pushers feel the same to you? Did they both have that same "click?" Hope I didn't get swindled on eBay. My top pusher is very mushy and the bottom pusher is super tactile and clicky. Should I either report it to eBay, contact seiko, or is this something my local watch repair dude can fix right up? Thanks. Great review.

I've had a lot of Casio watch including telememo 100 etc and last watch was smartwatch and I hated it the most due to charging it and finally it broke yay! What a relief and looking for non charging watch I came across G-Shock 5600ue 1dr solar charging got it immediately enjoying it for last couple of weeks no charging cable 😂 don't know how long internal battery would last on normal usage

I have the DW 5600. My battery lasted 30+ years. I got it way back in 91 and the battery died in 2023. How ever I was cleaning the bezel and band. The bezel just broke apart. So where do I get a exact fit bezel?

you "dumb" watches thinking smart watches makes conventional watches go obsolete.

Love the customized strap on the dw5600

I love this watch. I got one last week and love looking down at my wrist. It might be my favorite watch in my collection. If SEIKO does an update, just remove the date window. Its way too small. The bracelet is also poor but acceptable if that makes any sense.

Great video man. As a seventeen year old kiwi infantryman I went down and got the flash modern G-SHOCK circa 2012 military insert all that rubbish here. Did me well, for a few years. Two weeks into a deployment to Iraq and the heat fried the fucking bastard... Not even fourteen days for a 650 NZD watch. SO jumped on amazon... the DW-5600E was the only one I could get. I was hesitant. I am on my second " post army " DW-5600e, its pristine even after half a decade of welding. A fine watch for something that works..... always. Admittedly it was used for purpose... but that dim green back light ? Brilliant.

I have this watch in 42 mm, is hard to explain how beautiful and precise it is. You will be looking at it the whole day.

GA2100 can be both casual and beater watch. I think gab2100 will be a better watch for me because I don't bet up my watch that much

Can you redo the video with a American accent?

Spot on review. It’s all about whether you prefer form or function. I love the looks of the Casioak, but I also love the functionality and value of the Square.

Nothing wrong with a homage watch at all

Only square

Personally bought the solar powered version of casio G-Shock DW 5600 watch... Utterly disappointed with brand Casio G-Shock! Just after 3 or 4 months of normal usage ( No swimming, No Diving, No Extreme water Sports, No Surfing) it developed fog and water vapour inside the glass disrupting the time view. I went to the Casio Service centre but the service center people bluntly told me that there was no option for replacement. They also shamelessly told me that their watches are water resistant and not water proof. They said they never claim that their watches are water proof in their advertising also. They simply changed some parts and dried the fog or water vapour inside AND after a few months the fog and water vapour inside the glass RETURNED. What a Waste. 👎 Had it been the case of putting the watch under extreme conditions , it is understandable, but the refusal to replace the watch under normal conditions seemed callous and unprofessional on part of Casio. Utterly disappointed by such a big brand LIKE CASIO AND G-SHOCK with big & HOLLOW claims! 😒
