The G-Shock CasiOak GA-B2100 | A Week On The Wrist

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2022
  • For all of those in the watch community chasing the same ol' hype pieces selling for way beyond retail price, I prescribe that you wear a G-Shock for a bit (no, I'm not a doctor, but as a self-proclaimed horologist I think I can legally get away with this). Why? Because they're just so damn fun! I was lucky enough to spend a week with the updated G-Shock CasiOak GA-B2100 and the amount of joy I experienced wearing one on my wrist far exceeded my expectations.

    Ok it is Official I want Brandon as the official week on the wrist guy. He is perfect for the job . This is his third time doing a week on the wrist and every video is better than the last.👍💯🔥

    Totally agree. I'm a G-Shock guy for sure. I replaced my beat-up DW5600E w/ a GWB5600BC this past winter, and I love it! It has every feature under the sun, and yet not too pricey, lightweight, and tough. It's a watch I can throw on and not think about until I need it. And it goes with everything since it's all black.

    Love the video! I will say that if I were to get a gshock, I’m very tempted to get this one. I like the fact that it’s on the thinner side, and the design is great.
    I think its only competition is really other casios. Some of the Edifice line I think would appeal to people who are looking at this watch. Or maybe some of the larger citizens.

    got the Yellow Casioak myself, on 35% discount. It is THE best color for this watch (also because this is the only one that has clearly visible white hour indices). Solar makes it virtually maintenance-free and bluetooth connection makes setting all function way easier and quicker than using tiny buttons on the watch itself. Everyone should have a CASIO Casioak in their collection!

Sure, we all like videos that show high end peices. But, let's face it, most of us aren't going in for those. We've got bills to pay. So yes, please show wathces that are just, well, fun. And yes, more Brandon. Please and thank you.

    Love your video reviews Brandon. I'm a huge square fan but I didn't immediately fell in love with the CasiOak when it was first released - took me a bit of time to warm up to it but really like it. I also picked the yellow GA-B2100, which is what I'm wearing this morning. I think next we will see premium versions of the CasiOak.
    Happy Digi Hum Day! Oh - and thanks for the IG Cameo appearance - that was a pleasant surprise.

    They are like the SNK-800 series. Cheap, but fun as hell. Watches is a new hobby to me, and my collection has probably grown too fast. But I find, that I like watch brands that have history and great design, and don't care about the snob or cost factor. I am a full fledged Seikopath, and just love their designs, and can afford them. I have all 4 colors of the SNK-800, I have my 4th Land Tortoise on the way, a Dress KX, Some Skagens I have from 20 years ago, and orient Kumasu, my grandfathers Longines, and my fathers 1970's UFO Seiko. I am really excited that I have the green version of this Casio on the way. Like my Seiko's, I just love the style of these watches. They are unique (I don't consider them a royal Oak inspiration). Ohh and I am going down the modding rabbit hole, and have all the parts from Namoki to build a 36mm explorer homage, and planning future builds. You can really go down a rabbit hole with this hobby.
