A local store was holding the black out resin Casio oak for me. I went to pick it up and spotted the half metal red just came in. In person it’s captivating. I asked the elderly lady which one she liked better and she said the red one easily. So I ended up with the red instead of all black.
That’s actually a good thing. You went with the watch that speaks to your taste. It will only be a problem if you still need to get this blue one which makes you 2 g-shocks poorer by the time it’s all said and done.

Is the glass scratch proof ? Can I wear it casually every day without worrying about the polished steel wearing off ? Like I do not intend to remove it while washing my hands, would that be safe or shall I go for the plastic version instead ?
A new model has been release GBM-2100. Hoping there will be a review on this and like to know if can swap the metal bezel with a resin bezel from a GA-B2100/GA-2100.
@@DesignAtelier indeed, the one issue the current aftermarket bands have is they don't taper down enough from the point of connection of the watch and causes the watch to have a gap between wrist and steel band, having 6¼ wrist It might possibly have the same gap, here's to hoping the next gen of bands fix the gap
Exelent review, but I can't find this watch in that color. It is only blue, silver , and black with green background. I like this in your review, but help me with info where did you buy it ? Thank you
Every web search of the model GM-2100N-2AJF shows a blue version of the same, what is the model number of the black one you have displayed throughout the video ?
@@DesignAtelier thanks, I was about to come back to my comment as I read your replies to similar queries. Great video, you helped me with my decision, in fact, i am getting ready to visit the retailer in the next 30 minutes 😀
No. Try pressing on the display downward while you push the bezel upward. It should come off. It is snug fit to the bezel so it feels like it’s stuck. But all that’s holding it are the 4 screws on the lugs
Great video! You nentioned the module is the same, is it possible to swap out the module from the octagonal housing of the GA2100 and into the circular modual housing of the GM2100?
@@DesignAtelier I just tried this, it doesn't work (unless you don't care about the index markers). the gm2100 module can fit in the ga2100 housing, however the index markers for the gm2100 are a fixed part of the housing, whereas the index markers for the ga2100 are a detachable part of the face of the module. the face of the ga2100 module has some fitting on the dial to make room for the index marker ring, whereas the gm2100 dial does not. so you can put the gm2100 in the ga2100 housing, but you will have no index markers :(
Is it possible to swap the dials between the regular and metal cases, so that you could use the more premium dial from the metal Casioak variant for a custom AP royal oak metal kit mod, by housing it in the regular model's case?
@@DesignAtelier I think the GA2100 (original Casioak), GM2100 (metal version), and GMAS2100 (smaller version) all use the same 5611 module. If that's the case, then you probably swap the dial/inner bezel/modules and put the metal dial-module into the GA2100 and GMAS2100's carbon core/inner case. I'm not sure if this will 100% work, given that the GM2100's carbon core is circular and the GMAS2100's case is presumably octagonal, like the GA2100 series. So, I can't definitively conclude that the dial-modules of each aforementioned series listed above will feature comparable enough dimensions to be swapped between carbon cores like that; assuming they're designed differently for some reason. If they can be switched, that means you can put an aftermarket AP Royal Oak-inspired mod kit on the GA2100/GMAS2100's carbon core with the GM2100's dial-module. If you decide to try it out, please let us know if it works! If it does, posting a TH-cam video on it would also greatly help other modders, since there's nothing of the sort on TH-cam, yet.
@@12801270able yes i intend to make a video out of it. i'm just waiting on a few mods and a new GA-2100 to get this done. I have since sold the Red one for an offer i couldnt refuse.

yes its the GM-2100N-2ADR. Its a dark navy strap that just looks black for the shots i made. its likely that the camera was compensating for the orange light and BG.
Am I the only one who can’t believe there isn’t a deep red version of this GM-S2100? Oh well, even if I wanted one I understand it’s selling out even at $220. I’m glad I went with the black Casioak Mini
Awesome detailed review. Just wondering do the battery really expire after 3 years and watch stops? I'm new in watch arena, sorry if its laughable. Thanks!
Yes the watch stops. Then you can replace the battery and it will work again. This is almost 3 years old and it’s still not depleted. So it’s different situations and different results.
@@AmirSohelEmon the batteries are easy to find. There are guides on TH-cam on how to replace it. Alternatively, you can go to your local watch repair and they’ll be able to help you easily and cheaply too.
Good question. If they could be, then it's possible to outfit the premium dial into an aftermarket AP mod case and bracelet. Does anyone have an answer to this?
I wonder if the module itself - not with the shell - can be swapped. I think to put the newer Solar/Bluetooth module in the green GM-2100B-3A. Any idea?
At least with this one the bezel won't stretch after 18months. I'm having to replace the bezel on my GA2100 stealth as the crystal opening is now oval and this makes the buttons flush with the bezel so awkward to use.
@@DesignAtelier basically all of it unless you hold to some light source you really can’t read any of the writing,days of the week , mute,alm,sig is invisible. Even G- Shock and Casio is hard to read.
Nice video!. do you think the GM-2100 body can hold and sustain metal band? GA-2100 seems not able to sustain for long usage of metal band as it's body not meant to carry the weight.

I got this and it's the best. Now I can just say that all 2100s aren't as amazing as the hype goes, but at least I have the best and, well, it's wearable sometimes, but I don't feel it eliminates other choices pretty much at any time. But it's better than the most for sure. But it's top-5% not top-0.05%, you know.
Ah yea, I removed those 4 screws already but then even I tried to pull or push, I still can take out the bezel. The thing is with metal bezel, we can’t use anything to insert to lift it like the GA. I hope they didn’t glue it. 😅

Love this video. But may I ask how can you remove the case of the GM? I tried with mine but it’s to hard to take it off.
The bezel is held by the same four screws on the lugs. It’s just a different kind of screw. You have to use the right precision drivers for it.
Ah yea, I removed those 4 screws already but then even I tried to pull or push, I still can take out the bezel. The thing is with metal bezel, we can’t use anything to insert to lift it like the GA. I hope they didn’t glue it. 😅
@@d.raymondfann1925 try pushing from the crystal glass downward. It’s a little more snug fit than the GA2100. But they don’t glue these.
@@DesignAtelier yea, I’ll try it. Thank you much for this. Happy holiday & merry Xmas!!!
Awesome presentation....like the way you did the comparison side by side. In fact, I was just thinking ...and there you did it. Will sub your channel, very impressed with your vid. I'll ask some of my buddies to watch your channel after I sent my comment. Cheers!
Thanks a bunch! I'll keep cranking out the content for your guys!
Thank you for clearing up the question I had in mind. Will this new GM 2100 Metal fit the Chinese all steel third generation Royal Oak mod kid. Seems it does not. Too bad, I was hoping it did
there was a suggestion to swap the module case then install that on the aftermarket metal cases.
@@DesignAtelier and how to do that..?
Don't you just need a metal bracelet now? Since the case is already metal
Is its strap blue? Does it have blue color on its metal part?
Pls rply
This is very dark blue strap and dark blue metal case
@@DesignAtelier Is there a model with blue color only inside the dial of this model watch?
waiting for bluetooth/solar version of this watch...waiting...still waiting...
They have since released those. Just not in this color way.
Fantastic video and comparison, thanks a lot!
Glad you like it.
Beautiful looking watch, unfortunately the time is barely legible and the date and seconds even less so.
Hi Design Atelier. How come your GM2100N 2AJF came with a black strap?
It’s dark blue. The lighting makes it look black I think.
@@DesignAtelier Thank you! Appreciate your reply. Big fan of your YT channel. :)
What would you guys prefer gm2100 and seiko 5 sport
this made me think of buying a seiko 5 to make a video on.
I’ve got the same one,got a few G shocks but this is the most comfortable.Really great looking classy G shock.
Thats the word. Class. Highly agree.
Great review Jayson!
Is the rubber band black or blue?
Verity dark blue
I just got mine in blue and it looks fabulous.
Great video man, greetings from Argentina.
Thank you sir!

How come yours has a black strap? The only blue version I saw being sold in Europe has blue dial with blue strap.
