I picked up the all black version in January and I've been loving it. It's my first G-Shock and I think they finally have a model that just the right size for me. Super comfortable - never have to worry about it. Fun watch.
You can buy the all black one, get mod parts for whatever colour hour indicie/hands you want, then you have a all black outer part (with the gshockl and protection text) with the bonus of being able to chose to wear it all black or with the white indicies and hands.
Watch Collecting Strategy if they made this watch with solar capabilities, would the watch have to be much thicker? It’s kind of the reason I have stayed clear of G-shocks. Too big and chunky for me.
Great video. A lot of the "honestly" or "frankly" are superfluous. You come across as an honest reviewer anyway, so it is irritating when you needlessly use these words.
I agree that the “G-Shock” and “Protection” are unnecessary words on the case face. What I would like to see is a second hand added, tritium lume and I don’t know if it would work on an octagonal model like this - a uni-directional bezel. That would make this a perfect watch. First thing I did was I removed the plastic wrist strap and added a black nylon strap. It looks good and wears perfectly! Thank you for the video.
Good review! I need a decent, affordable, dive watch and this has 20 bar resistance so its fine for what I need. It'll do as a travel watch as well as it looks more dressy than most combat looking G-Shocks. Whats to lume like on it??
Nice. Perhaps you are forgetting the color of the bezel being an innovation in its own right. Waiting for steel is waiting for the classic look, which is really not the point with this g-shock series.
This is a beautiful g-shock with all the right features and fit for an everyday, low profile watch. I wish they had put a tough solar module in it so that batteries wouldn't be an issue. If they introduce solar, I'll buy one immediately. If I do pick up one of these, I won't wait for casio to put out a steel version for $300+. I'll do a conversion to steel with an Aliex kit. Very nice watch though.
I just came across this watch today online and had to have it. I just ordered it! I had the same urge to own this as I had prior to purchasing my 2016 Rolex Air King and 2020 Rolex oyster Perpetual. I went for the all black version. I can't wait till it arrives! 😁
I love your macro shots man! Recently got my first G-Shock: the G884 G-Shock (DW-5600MW-7DR) i.e. the white DW5600 for just $52-53 and it looks gorgeous! How do you compare it with DA-2100 series, leaving the pricing thing aside obviously haha... The DA-2100 costs almost $100 in here. Just asking your opinion as I still have the one month return policy... 😛
Came across your clip. You did a great job. Just refrain from saying “ in my honest opinion” too many times. Use alternative phrases with the same meaning. As a watch collector and enthusiast, I would have loved to join your round table, however my free time is limited. Good luck and keep up the good work.
I just bought this today and I'm now waiting for it's arrival. I chose this one over the all-black for the same reason - legibility. However I agree that the writing over and under the dial clutters the face of the watch a bit, which leads me to the question: Do you think the paint in the letters can be removed so that the face of the watch can be as clean as the all black - just with the better legibility of this version?
@@waider thank you! Since writing this I recieved the watch and I'm actually quite pleased with the writing. it's more grey than it appeared on the pictures, which I think is nicer :) thanks for your answer!
Black or red black or red. I have a couple of standard black ones and the original square style iconic solar one and the sick bluetooth stainless steel in silver which is utterly gorgeous. But this one is nice. Its only going to be a rare wear so might go for the red. But this looks clean damn. These are essentially beaters all of them but still cant make my mind up. This looks good feel I’d get more wear from it in this colourway.
As someone who is only just getting into watches, and has never had a G-Shock simply because I have smaller wrists. Would adding tech such as solar capabilities make the watch much thicker?
I am wondering if the carbon/resin case will get scratched/gouged in daily normal use over time. I tried the G-steel ones and prefer the non-steel look.
I got the green and black one. I love it. The instructions were a bit crap and not the most logical to work out. Eventually set the time and an alarm... And a second city so I know what time it is where some in my team live. Aside from that, it fits great... The perfect size. Most other gshocks are ugly... But this one rocks
Thanks for a good review. Anyhow I just got the GM2100 silver and in my humble opinion it's better looking. Hope Casio will keep coming out with nicer and better looking watch at affordable price though the one I bought is twice the price of GA2100. 😂
You should add Watch Talk Live to the featured channels list for convenience. It's too big but yeah, it looks cool. If it's available in white Tom Cruise could've worn one in Oblivion.
@@snacaroni I'm from Poland so i bought it in my country..here there are plenty of ga 2100 in shops because it's novelty..I don't know how much cost delivery to other countries but you can try to buy it in Polish shop via net
I wish the digital display was positive. I know they had the The holiday version with the green and red markings, and that had a gold tone digital display, but I ❤️ the look of this watch. I enjoyed your review, you touched on a lot of different things that I haven’t noticed from other reviews, so thank you. In your honest opinion, how difficult is the digital display to see when the light is not pushed on? I use the stopwatch feature a lot and I would like to know how difficult it is to see.
I want to purchase this watch, on some sites like ebay etc it is being sold at very high price. Please inform the correct price and site to purchase this watch....
Reviewers always make claims that the watch wears smaller. This one does, but seriously, it does not wear like a 41mm. Frankly, it is also too big for your wrist.

Quite frankly I appreciate you watching! Quite frankly 😁 I fixed that in my next video
Frankly, honestly, comparing this turd of a watch to an AP, and JLC references is ridiculous
@@sandman6617 shut up.
In my honest opinion....

I have this and it’s a great watch: easy to read, durable and cheap
I think the bezel writing looks fine. It’s a g shock tradition to have it on the bezel. 👍
Thanks for watching Brian!
At last, a G-Shock that looks un-cluttered. I want this.
You won't regret it
Wow, the first G-Shock I've actually really liked. Almost understated with easy to see hands and markers.
It has become one of my favorites for sure!
It’s just an awesome Casio brother, well done and damn you really want to have this piece, videography at its best 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching as always my friend!
Have the all black stealth version. THAT is the best digital ever!
I was soooo tempted to buy the all black version
The fashion version with the unreadable dial for hipster millenials.
@@JeeGee114 Thank you for calling me a millenial. I will take those 20 years and run with em. :)
Mine got delivered today by casio india and its under 100 usd
@@clone-2322 I'm so tempted to buy it too, it's rs7495 right? Is it worth it?
More than a little frustrated over the calendar function limitation. What am I to do in 2099, can I reset it?
I would love they did this in solar power and multiband radio controlled...than it would be perfect.
I'm sure they will have a solar version soon!
I was thinking exactly the same thing
I'd be ok if it was just solar. I'm holding out for it.
They also need the updated buttons from the carbon core series.
Watch Collecting Strategy if they made this watch with solar capabilities, would the watch have to be much thicker? It’s kind of the reason I have stayed clear of G-shocks. Too big and chunky for me.
Bought this version today and was searching videos about it and found your channel , great review and a new subscriber 👍
Thanks for joining us David! Glad to have you
add solar and combi bracelet, then perfection... great review!
Your videography will make me love any watch😂❤️ Amazing job!
Thank you 💙💙
Nice review! I love how you showed and styled the watch.. it gave a better look how the watch would look on wrist.

Aesthetically very nice, best G-Shock ever? No way. If they add solar then it may have a chance.
I'm sure they will capitalize on this design & make a solar version. Thanks for watching Nathan
It says “best looking on the market” solar has nothing to do with looks!
If they add solar I'm buying this next day.
I got mine today - after reservation. It’s 169SGD. Looks amazing ...
Quite frankly, I’ve just bought this watch and thought I’d watch a review.... and quite frankly, this done the trick. Thanks, quite frankly.
Good review!

The Prediction 💯, Great Review ‼️
Amazing. New iconic G-S after 5600 series.
Thanks buddy!
I am waiting on the blacked out version to arrive at my AD. It will have my name on it when it arrives. Great video.
Thanks Jonathan!
Loving my 2 G-Shocks, one atomic/solar and one battery driven. Both will be around long after I’m gone.... Blessings! Salamat!
Blessings my friend!
I just got the all black version and it's awesome. I prefer to this one that looks more sporty. The blackout seems refined
I prefer the appellation ‘Royal Shock’. Quite frankly.
Quite frankly that is a good nickname

@@mikkellm2599 I'm on the verge of buying one with the camo crown. Or the olive drab one.
The problem with collecting Casio watches is that there are many great watches to collect.
When this comes out with solar & atomic time, I'll pick it up and mod it with a metal case & bracelet (the kits are on AliExpress for $80)
Wanted to check those out actually!

Should I get this watch or a dw5600 my rists are quite small too I can pick up this for like 110 usd
darn good review...and darn good product....saw it here in Chaing Mai Thailand...almost bought it....sorry I did not pull the trigger...
I have the yellow one. GA 2110 I sooo freaking love it! Got it for 110$ here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Do you wear it a lot? Do you experience any discoloration?
Exceptional video quality btw
Thank you Lou! Glad you enjoyed
This watch would be so much better if the lcd and day of week dial were more readable
Had the same idea of a white strap! I really like the watch also at night its very good to see lights are perfect in my opinion.
The white strap would make it really fun to wear in the summer!
I am wondering if the carbon/resin case will get scratched/gouged in daily normal use over time. I tried the G-steel ones and prefer the non-steel look.
Great Review!

Can you tell about the price??

This casio is sweet if they do a strictly analog watch they can definitely compete with AP and Patek and you can save 25k
Agreed, tho I am still a big fan of the 15202 😁
It’s my favorite watch ever.

I'm very tempted to pick up the red one, I'm just waiting for the steel model
It's so strange having a G-shock that is so light, it's pretty refreshing.

I am intrested in to buy this GW-2100 MODEL.
BUT, I want to know how many models in that exam, GW-2100-1a.
Or GW-2100 -*****.
PLEASE
Can't wait until I can find it for $100 again. Been waiting for months with news that they'd come back in stock this month.
Do you think you can rock this with a shirt and jumper ?
