The crazy thing is 2 weeks ago I bought a Tudor pelagos and a week later I bought the casio for everyday wear as I work in construction. The 2 watches are identical size the Casio is just thinner amazing watch
Great review man! I think you 100% convinced me to buy it. Really good video, you covered everything we needed to know. Keep it up! You earned a new subscriber💪🔥
I have the same 2 G-shocks as you. New to Casio. I have the updated 5610U and the green version of the GA-B2100. The GA-B2100 is very cooling looking in person and on the wrist. The negative display is hard to read, but it gives the dial a monochrome look that is very tough looking. The lume does suck, but who uses the lume on their watches anyways? The light is also much brighter than it appears on your video. I was at the theater with the lights down and it actually lit up the guys face sitting next to me.
Hey, I'm thinking to buy this watch and have a question- Can we set/change the time in watch itself instead of going through phone. I just want to use it like a normal watch without any connection to bluetooth. Will the time still keep up?
I have a decent collection of mid-luxury automatic watches, and bought the yellow version of this on a whim. It may the honeymoon period but I've enjoyed this immensely. When I think about it, it does the tenets of what a watch really should do: be tough, be exact, and be worn.
Thanks for sharing! I agree, I also own the yellow model (which i reviewed in this channel as well) and it is easier to read imo and really does a great job at being a precise watch that you actually wear! Take care
The light on the Yellow and Black with Gray Markers and positive display had a stronger light. I was surprised by the lack of light in this blue one. Maybe it was just the camera lighting. Also, the bands can be easily changed (another positive feature).
I got the brown colour none blue tooth camo version. It's OK but I find the 5610 a better watch in every way. All good as my wife loves to use when she goes swimming, so I gave it to her.
@@mandizwey My Casio has never dropped below full charge and is just left in its open tin on the dressing room table. Also had more than 10 Citizen watches over the years and none ever failed on the solar battery- you must have been unlucky.
@@mandizwey My GA-B2100 I bought when in July 2022 and my GW-M5610 in October 2021. My previous GW-M5610 I had for 3 years and it was only replaced for cosmetic reasons - it still functioned perfectly and never once dropped below full charge.
I didn't know there was a blue negative display I think that's awesome I always wanted a negative display so I'm saving up my money hopefully but by the holidays in December I can buy one it will be my Holy Grail be my final watch I already have two solar powered casios and two solo power citizens so this is my third Casio solar like you said everyone should have at least one G-Shock in the inventory that's a collector I have a lot of different watches I have like I said citizen Casio Timex Seiko tissot mathey tissot one fossil and a couple of fashion watches oh yeah and one Invicta so yes I think this will be my final watch
Thank you for the video, but my English is not very good, but I can understand a little, the main thing is that there are no subtitles, I just got one today, and I am looking forward to the arrival.
@@crisoclock thanks, I just found it too! 😁😁 got one yesterday. Coming from a G100 that even though it also has analog, I always opt to see the digital time too.
I bought the yellow and the blue one and swapped the faces, then I sold the yellow one with the darker face on eBay. I love the blue watch with the yellow watch face. Perfect match. Bought some JaysAndKays Metal Adapters and some stretchy bands. I also bought a full metal case and bracelet for it with original markings for around $60. Casio wants $600
I don’t think I have ever been in a situation where I have been looking for a misplaced watch, although I have definitely been searching for a mobile phone that could be literally anywhere in my house.
Hum… 1) make sure bluetooths on 2) restarts phone 3) long-press the bottom left button on the watch (mode) for around 7 seconds until the little hand moves to « connection » 4) then quickly open the app on your phone - That should do
Hi Chris, you have presented the Casio oak very well, covered almost everything I wanted to know so, thank you! I have just ordered a Black Version (positive display) so I hope I can see the time clearer than yours? I am waiting with great anticipation. Meanwhile, I got a question about the Bluetooth pairing with the smartphone. So what is the best practice? Do you change the time on your phone or the watch so that they are synchronized? And when you travel across time zones and change the time on your phone, how does it affect the World Time on the watch? Will the watch be able to detect and switch for example, from Tokyo time to Sydney time after you landed and changed the time setting? Many thanks!
Hey James, thanks for the comment and glad it could be helpful to you. The time changes automatically based on the time of your phone - that been said you still can set a world time if you wish. When I went to Turkey for example, when I connected my phone to the internet and the time automatically changed, I pushed an update to my watch (bottom right button once) and off u go - that simple. Hope that helps cheers
@@crisoclock Thanks a lot for your response. I just got my hands on GA-B2100FC and GBX-100-7DR, But both was surprisingly small for my wrist. I would really appreciate if you can suggest me some bigger model which you would choose next. :)
Hi All i just want to ask about this tough solar since this is my first watch using solar. So when i bought this watch, the battery indicator showing in “M” and when i connect the watch to phone, i can see the battery showing 2 bars, so i decided to put the watch under my bedside table lamp for the whole night. In the morning i checked the indicator is not changing, even when connected to phone, it still showing 2 bars. Is that normal, since I’ve seen videos that it’s showing in “H”
Oh boy MANY MANY years… The battery gets recharged basically and over the years I changed, gave away, lost, etc. G-shocks before I ever had to change the battery! So don’t you worry, you might run on the same battery for 20+ years probably 😊😉 cheers
@@crisoclock that is insane 🤩......Thanks for responding to my queries.....really appreciate that!❤️ Just subscribed you ..... Would love to see more of your content being a watch Enthusiast ❤️
Im confused between the black and the blue one, but I’m getting a huge discount on the blue one and the stealth black has my heart, idk what to do haha help me bro
Sometimes some watch models get special discounts based on stocks, selling amounts, etc. hence the difference in price. If you like black I’d spend a little more to get what you like A after all it’ll stay on your wrist for you to watch
@@crisoclock thank you. If I connect with phone, I have to keep location and Bluetooth on so that watch gets connected to get the accurate time. Right brother?
That’s right. Well it will connect automatically to your phone 4 times per day. It will only “ask” the phone for the Bluetooth connection when it connects to it - not full time (for obvious battery consumption reasons) Cheers
Hey there, might not have shown it here. But you can check my other video about the yellow version of this model, I believe it’s shown there for sure. Take care
Honestly that’s the biggest drawback after reviewing it. Took it in Holiday to Turkey and it got lots of scratches with regular use, I got better gshocks honestly on that regard.
6 months in a drawer with no extra light (rougly) when fully charged. I’d say if under the straight sunlight it takes a couple hours. But keep in mind any light source will charge it as you’re wearing it so it won’t ever die really
No hand for second in this watch which always indicates a motion and must in analogue basis .it is very bad side of ga- 2100 b and i didn 't select it for buying ,otherwise very good futuristic looking watch .
Just got the black one, but one thing I see that when I try to manually adjust the hands from my phone it doesn’t match with the time I set through my phone but auto time match works perfectly fine, please let me know if this is we can fix or do I need to replace it, and does the hand make sound when moving fast when we set the time like a very low sound, it’s not noticeable until you put your ears near to it, thanks!
Hello there, sorry for the massive delay. That sounds strange to me, it should be set exactly based on your phone time. Might need to replace it Cheers
Hello 👋🏼 no it runs in the background. You can make the connection manually as well but the app will run when needed to save battery on both the phone and the watch. Take care
Instant buy for me. Will go nicely with my b5600 square which I love to death. Now I need a big ol gshock that looks like a spaceship. What's that one modeled after a helicopter stick? Or maybe a mudmaster
I have the , very very stealthy , GA-2100 ; the predecessor of your GA -B2100 . Mine is light and comfortable , it does not have solar or bluetooth , and mine shows the day of the week in the sunken left side display , rather than the watch mode . Otherwise mine is so similar it is hard to tell the difference . Indeed , when I put the watch on I have to look at least twice to find out which way up it is !! Reading any information on the watch is not easy .Despite this though I really do like the watch and I might just be tempted to buy a Ga-B2100 , because it can be set up using your mobile and recharges via solar power . I think I would choose the black positive display model rather than a super stealthy negative display . Stealthy is cool , but I am not some kind of night ninga . I would prefer to have an analog second hand though .... Great video and I completely agree with your opinion on this watch . Thanks
Bhai, I'm thinking to buy this watch and have a question- Can we set/change the time in watch itself instead of going through phone. I just want to use it like a normal watch without any connection to bluetooth. Will the time still keep up?
If you keep the watch at H level, as much as possible (mine are always on H, standing at the window), you can expect more than 10-15 years - I have seen pieces with the same accu, after 20 years.
EL backlight has a half-life. It starts decaying immediately after manufacture and will be at half brightness before too long and then dead soon after. Since this is supposed to be a "tough" watch, the LED technology which lasts longer is preferable. Also, EL backlights require a step up converter to reach the higher voltage needed so they drain battery MUCH faster than LED. The LEDs of today, are far superior to any you might have encountered in the 70s.
I have a solar GW-M5610U-1ER radio controlled beater that gets a signal at 01:02 every day, its so accurate i set my mechanical watches by it. Shame Casio couldnt include that with this model. I guess they think everyone goes on smartphone time now, so whats 6 billionths of a second between friends?
The crazy thing is 2 weeks ago I bought a Tudor pelagos and a week later I bought the casio for everyday wear as I work in construction. The 2 watches are identical size the Casio is just thinner amazing watch
Lovely choice John! Love the Pelagos too. Yes, I think we all need a gshock in our watch box 😊 take care
I love dive watches and also have a Pelagos in my collection. I also work in construction and live in an Apple Watch with protective case! 😂
I have the positive display yellow and it’s fantastic. I get compliments every day and the ladies love it .
Awesome!!
I can’t think of a reason for not having this watch. A great piece of kit.
💯!
The all black is the coolest, but hard to real. The black with gray hour markers is the most practical - I wear that a lot !
True!
I have the black with positive display (and red mode dial), it is so much easier to read than this Stealth version :)
Very true 👍🏼
@@crisoclock hi which is the bluetooth application available in canada?

Would you say the original casioak is worse than than bluetooth one or is the orginal better?
I honestly love the solar function more than the Bluetooth (in terms of real life usage I mean).
I am very confused to pick between colors. Can anyone drop me the top 3?
Blue, yellow, black imo
I really appreciate that!
If too many solar batt watched, kind of harder to maintain compare to dc battery
Ya i understand
im confused when i bought this people told me it hss a step counter, but i cant find it. can you help me?
Hello there, there is no step counter on this watch. The only purpose of Bluetooth is a) to sync the time and b) set alarms and change settings. Sorry
I have 3 so far casio oaks ..simply amazing
Nice!
is there an old model that has no bluetooth? seen one exactly the same for 50 euros,but doesnt mention bluetooth
Yes there is indeed

Just ordered this one in black. Second watch I ever owned. Coming from a Garmin instinct 2 solar tactical. Just love that g shock design
Awesome!
managed to order the yellow one delivered for €129.95 🙂 now need to decide what the next watch is 😇
Awesome!
does the glass scratch on these g shocks? its not sapphire
Honestly that’s the biggest drawback after reviewing it. Took it in Holiday to Turkey and it got lots of scratches with regular use, I got better gshocks honestly on that regard.
How long does the Bluetooth keeps connected to the watch ?
A few minutes
Hi, why do you put it on battery saver mode when it’s solar powered? Surely it would never run out of battery.
It’s for when your not wearing the watch it doesn’t continue to use battery it turns off until you put it on again saving battery life
If you keep it in a drawer or dark area the battery does wear down (especially a Bluetooth model that tries to connect to a phone)
Sometimes I get "ERR" on display,. What could be the reason?
Cannot connect to the watch to get the time sync. Usually that’s what I experienced
Cheers
I bought the ga2100 stealth. if I like it, I'll go with the Bluetooth variant.
Awesome 😎
How long does the battery last, and how long does it takes to fully charge the watch?
6 months in a drawer with no extra light (rougly) when fully charged. I’d say if under the straight sunlight it takes a couple hours. But keep in mind any light source will charge it as you’re wearing it so it won’t ever die really
No hand for second in this watch which always indicates a motion and must in analogue basis .it is very bad side of ga- 2100 b and i didn 't select it for buying ,otherwise very good futuristic looking watch .

Research about calibration. It fix this.
if you could keep one gshock between this casioak and the GW M5610 which one would you keep ?
Probably the M5610 for nostalgia reasons and for its classic look, but the Casioak is amazing too 😉
You mentioned that the watch connects to the phone 4X a day , do I have to have the phone on and the app up and running for the watch to sync ?
Hello 👋🏼 no it runs in the background. You can make the connection manually as well but the app will run when needed to save battery on both the phone and the watch. Take care

Hello John, using the app and then you press a button on the watch (bottom-right one) and it connects to take the time from your phone. Cheers
bought this watch in black colour last month and its a fantastic watch. lightweight and tough.
Nice!
Bhai, I'm thinking to buy this watch and have a question- Can we set/change the time in watch itself instead of going through phone. I just want to use it like a normal watch without any connection to bluetooth. Will the time still keep up?
Yall need to stop listening to those old guys telling everyone to wear their watches on their elbows.
😂😂😉
Great review... I have decide between the blue and green one
😉
Which one did you choosed ?
@rohan1304 the green one, no regrets. Works very well with any military style
@@adudas5735 same i just ordered the green one tommorrow but i am little bit worried about the negative display
great content ! how many years do you think it's gonna last in terms of battery (considering it is a solar powered one) ?
Thanks! Had another gshock for over 5 years now and not a problem ever with the solar battery 😉
If you keep the watch at H level, as much as possible (mine are always on H, standing at the window), you can expect more than 10-15 years - I have seen pieces with the same accu, after 20 years.
Why the hell did they stop doing the back glow lcd and start using damn 1970s lighting??????
No idea! But I must say am liking it 😏
EL backlight has a half-life. It starts decaying immediately after manufacture and will be at half brightness before too long and then dead soon after. Since this is supposed to be a "tough" watch, the LED technology which lasts longer is preferable. Also, EL backlights require a step up converter to reach the higher voltage needed so they drain battery MUCH faster than LED. The LEDs of today, are far superior to any you might have encountered in the 70s.
I have a solar GW-M5610U-1ER radio controlled beater that gets a signal at 01:02 every day, its so accurate i set my mechanical watches by it.
Shame Casio couldnt include that with this model. I guess they think everyone goes on smartphone time now, so whats 6 billionths of a second between friends?
😁
