I have received a fake GA2100 as a gift from a relative who bought abroad. The service menu exists on the fake version too. The dead giveaway for my version were weird quality of the watch crystal and a much thicker back case. Function-wise the watch does match almost all of the actual features, although the ticking of the module seems to be a bit loud
Thanks, got a steal of a deal on a gm2100, everything worked, thought it was a fake but to my surprise it's original, what put me off is the box and manual it's oddly enough Chinese, but the clasp has its engravings, all buttons function, the backside is as should be, compared to my other shocks, legit
Make sure you haven't compared it with fake products, because fake products can do the same thing , they have upgraded to version 3, it's extremely hard to detect a fake one
My Fake Casio Can Do it .. I have also the original, and the only différence is the thicness case . If you have not a original to compar , it's impossible to see
Bought a fake one and it did that as well. The key weakness is the LED light is poorly made and did not illuminate the rest of the watch face like the original, and it’s much thicker compared to the original
Replicas can do everything u show us in the video, but they haven’t hand shft mode. HSM works holding light and pressing mode, or just light and mode at same time.
I have one that seems to have Half of the fugazi indicators. Fat bottom cover,cheap screws,and the stamp on the strap latch says casio japan stamped a little bit crooked. Also,I wore it in the pool,and it leaked at two feet of depth. However,the movement indicated everything as shown here EXCEPT there are strange crosshatch lines over the LCD numbers in the window? Also the pushers seem to be made of a sub par metal.
Hey guys, I do not think that this is applicable for the Bluetooth models. If it connects through the official Casio watches app, then it is a 💯 percent geniune
Relieved to know because the one I got for a tantalizingly low price connects to the App successfully even though its battery level is constantly ‘M’ (Medium)
Hello there .. Id followed your method .. and the display at the LCD changed .. However I am unable to switch back to normal mode .... Can you kindly assist .. even after pressing the start button
@@wristaction thanks for the info ...it didn't work .. ended up opening the watch and hit on the reset button . Probably the buttons were clogged as I found stains and dirt in the mechanism. For now , its working perfectly.. many thanks
I just bought a fake one from ali express for 30$. it just does all the things shown in this video. good thing is i already have original one to compare the quality.
I found out mine was fake, so I modded it! Why not? Full metal now! It is thiccc, but all the functions work, and now it is shiny. My only issue is that I cannot flip it (and I like to buy lot’s of watches -necessitating the sale of lot’s of watches).
Why you so slow
some things are better done slowly.
@@wristaction your wife would disagree. 😂
Sorry, had to say it on the opportunity. Like your work. ♥️
@@wristactionI agree you get better results than going at it like a jackrabbit 😅

i can feel you, same thing happened to me :(
Yeah! Bought a pre-owned 2100 at a steal and so glad to confirm it is legit. Thanks for showing me! Liked and subed!

hello it's been a year now. there's version 4 now😂 but the back case is still thick so its not hard to tell
thank you for sharing this. I've had my GA2100 (5611) for 3 years now. and I've been wanting to know, since I got this as a gift, if this is original.

I've seen the circle where the days of the week are/9 o'clock, is also different on fake ones.
I think 5590 may be the model number for the module.
Good point. Yes it could be that.
No the module number is 5611
@@tank.4496 mine is 5590 as well is it normal?

I bought it with module 5689 china cased model , i had legitimate doubt of being fake when it was not doing the LCD thing 😂😂😂
hey i am planning to buy a second hand 5729 the metal one and which is also solar can guide me how can i connect it.
Thanks
Awesome vid. Mine did exactly all.👏🇦🇺
just bought pink ga2100, going to try it.. tq for info😊
I just looked that one up. It looks very striking!
i have a fake one i ordered for 32 euros from aliexpress and does that, so i think this is not a reliable method to know
Hey. May I know what number shows up on the 3rd screen? 5590?
Ashamed of Being a Chinese

Press the 'start' button a few times and it will return to normal.

Very helpful ❤
that was helpful
thank you
when i perform a 3 buttons test, my watch shows 5590 module number like yours, instead of 5611. Why?
I don't think 5590 is referring to the module number. It is 5611.
Yeh same with me the module nom on the back is 5611 I don't think it's representing the module number as they're not same for every watch
Thank you dear 🎉
So you're telling me that my ga2100 is genuine that I bought online for 15$ ?
Can you do it for ga b2100 please
I don't have the GA B2100, but the fake ones cannot connect to the Casio watches app.
The back plate on a fake is like a fat bubble, and not flat like a g shock
Can anyone confirm if the GA2100 has auto light?
no, there is no tilt sensor inside.
Well ga b2100 cant do it.
yes it does not work for gab2100
Good "replicas" always can do that.
The better way to spot it is looking for the space between 9 and the days circle. Originals don't have this space.
can you explain a bit more i am planning to buy a second hand 5729 solar
Cool to know this

Really helpful video, thankyou.
doesn't work with my gshoxk
it should work on all genuine ga2100
The fake one's LED lighting is crap.
Mine passed all these, but it said cased in China so idk
Mine does aswell i asked r/g-shock they said its real i think some are just made in china aswell
It's cased in china.... Not made
Finally I found my watch is duplicate😢
oh no!
