One of my friends just got one of these! He’s let me handle the watch some and I’m very impressed with it. Great show as always!
Thanks Seth! All the best!
I treated myself to the green version to commemorate reaching 20 years working as a paramedic (green to signify the uniform) and I also love it. It is so much more comfortable than my resin version. I also agree that a positive display would be better which I see they have now introduced with some of the new solar versions.
I love watch stories and yours is so cool😎
Nice work, congratulations . A little while ago, but hope you are doing well. 🎉
That’s proper 👏 🫡
It was because of your video that I immediately purchased it on EBay with no regret. This is by far my most beautiful yet durable G Shock on own. Keep up watch your doing. Very informative in a fun and quirky way.

You can actually get a splar powered version now with a positive display. Blue or Black dial. Price is about $190 if you shop around.
Top notch review as always russ, if you get the watch in the right angle of light the indices throw out a spectrum of colours, it’s my favourite part of the dial. Still really enjoying mine, just shows you don’t need to spend 3 or £4000 to have a beautiful looking watch. Casio have nailed it, all for £150! Perfect little premium beater
Fantastic comment my friend!
Really, really really nice. I like it, but agree bout the negative display, all they have to do is turn the film covering the display 90 degrees and it would be positive. Come on Casio its easy, at least give us the choice. This one is definitely a winner. Took me a while to take the $500 jump for the all metal DW5600, this one is a no brainer ! Already have it in my cart. Another great, fun review. Thanks mate, cheers.
You clealy don't understand the idea behind these watches. They are supposed to look like luxury mechanical watches. If you flip the display it will stand out from the dial and make the whole thing look like another cheap digital crap watch.
I have never enjoyed a review of a watch that much. Very informative and entertaining. And I almost never comment on anything on YT. Great job - top work.
Thank you so much for this my friend! Appreciate that a lot!
Check out the history of the metal G with the MRG range (from 1996 with the MRG-100). He was all for metal gs - but the tech to get the same shock resistance as resin was a big ‘ol project.
Cheers Gordon I’m in!!!
I owned the green version for 6 months before selling it due to legibility issues. Purchased the 5610 and could not be happier with it, perfect beater watch and so comfortable.
5610 still my favorite G 👍
Im thinking about to sell my gm2100 to buy gw5610. Now your comment got me. Im not really sure. What would your most reason to buy the 5610?
Yes, I got the psychopathic killer red one with the glossy black case a month or so back. Brilliant. They're a striking little piece. Sit's proudly in my G Shock collection.
Hahaha superb my friend!
I own two casioaks,the stealth and the black with the rose gold details...really like the blue metal but I'm waiting for the Bluetooth metal version...are u listening Casio?
That’s a good point my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR coming back to this video....I bought this exact casioak.ffs now I got 3.😅.gotta sell the resin ones and go for a square bluetooth resin case asap.
Casio just came up with a new gshovk with Bluetooth, solar and bright blue dial ;-)
Outstanding review, my friend. It is now my requested Father's Day gift. Respect from Texas!
Yes!!!!! Thank you for watching !
WOW: Ur enthusiasm for this watch is Over flowing..! It has Relite something in U. Right this is how I feel about MY "BLINGIST" Watch it,s A " G SHOCK " .....AWM 500D (FULL METAL JACKET), (auto lite @ a certain Angle ) I can not stopping wearing at for EVENING WEAR Every nite..! 2 months SHOUTING About it. FEELING UR JOY, Thank U Russ. Great Vid.
Ray!! Thank you my friend! That’s a lovely G my friend! Casio are superb!!!!!
THE WATCH IS GODLIKE
I've had this watch for a couple of months and it's honestly the best watch I've ever owned. Goes well with majority of my outfits, it's light and I never have to worry about it since it's a G Shock
Superb my friend!!! Thanks for watching!!
Green vs silver, which would be a better choice?
Great video! I was walking through Schipol airport a couple of weeks back and saw the very same in a jewellers. Bought it on the spot. Love it
Superb Julian !! You still happy with it?
Yeah, it’s great! I usually only wear divers and have a reasonable collection but this is a super change and feels like a quality product. I never went for the resin ones.
U should do a durability test for that version no one did durability of metal one
I think I’m more into the 5600 series rather than the Casioaks. Recently got the full metal 5600 and love it. What puts me off the Casioaks are the location of the LCD and the fact that they’re negative displays. The indexes and hands are often hard to read which goes against its primary purpose. The best Casioak for me is the yellow ToughSolar, Bluetooth version with a positive display.
I was about to pull the trigger on the Yellow model/toughSolar but hesistated due to it being too light on my wrist. Now im stuck between getting this half metal GM-2100 vs waithing for the full metal/Toughsolar/Bluetooth to arrive in my country. This one is selling now for 13,500 pesos ( at a slight 15% discount) as opposed to waiting it out for the full metal version/toughsolar which will probably sell for at least twice as much.
💖 My GA2100 Casioak apart from I'm, allergic to the case back, had to coat it with clear nail varnish, great watch though Russ 👌
I am torn between buying the silver or green one both look so beautiful
Silver is more versatile imo
Silver definitely. Green is only for occasional wear. I own both blue and silver.
Literally wearing this exact watch on my wrist right now and I can honestly say that I'm surprised it fits my 6.0 inch wrist so well. I didn't even need to go for the smaller line.
I know! I was surprised to Arthur! Thanks for watching!
Great to know bc my wrist is also 6 inch and was considering the smaller version,
Good looking watch but I'd pass on this and get the solar & Bluetooth version! Good video! Thanks!
Fair doos my friend! Solar is definitely appealing!! But this watch is meant to be made with stainless steel ;)
What a beauty! G-Shocks are another level... "God tier" that's what Nico said.
Hahahaha yes!!!
i althougn wanted the 1AER but than i got my hand on the green one.. SUCH STYLE such SHINE... and the Housing is gunmettal and not like the blue some colored metal...
Excellent review Russ! I was just about to get one, when I discovered that a solar powered Casioak with Bluetooth is on the way! It's the resin one, but I'm thinking to be patient as it might not be long before a metal solar version will arrive. That's what I want. However I do wish they would put lume pips above the markers as on my MudmasterGG-1000-1A3DR. Just hands looks weird and confusing.
Think you my friend!!! It’s a good idea to wait !
Love it but I am kind of hoping they would put the new Bluetooth and Solar function in this metal version…. After all the Gs that I have through the years… I now kind of only after the tough solar version of them…
That’s fair enough Jonathon!
I never considered a Gshock until seeing this one... On the list it goes. Great stuff as ever MWC. Cheers.
Cheers Luke!!
Positive display would be cool.
I picked up my first Casioak a few weeks back. The Midnight Fog Series - GM-S2100MF-1AER. It’s the smaller case version, has a metal case, larger buttons and a positive display. It ticked all the boxes for me.
Nick that’s the next one I need to look into!!! Thanks for watching!
Same here... 40mm right?
What does it mean to have a positive display?
Yeah but the color and the design is worse
I own the GA2100 stealth version, but it’s not my favorite G-Shock by any means. I actually almost sold it a couple of months ago. I decided to give it another shot but I fear that I will eventually regain my disdain for this piece. I’m headed that way for sure. Maybe what I need is the newer version to sooth my ruffled feathers.
Thanks for watching Dan! I had not worn my resin Casioak for probably 4 months . This feels like a different watch , or how a CasioAk was made to be !!!;) If you can get your hands on one to look at I’d recommend it.
Over a year later, which do you wear more? Resin or metal?
Thanks for the review!
I’d say my metal one looks beaten up. The resin looks great still
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR nice! So do you end up wearing the resin more now?
Have you seen that G-shock have just released the GBM-2100A, fixed all the problems with this watch, now it has Solar, bluetooth (if you want it ?!) , beautiful colours and got rid of the nasty illegible negative digital display and replaced it with a positive display. It is now legible and beautiful.....as a result I sold my GM-2100-1AER and bought a GBM-2100A-1A2ER which has a Vapour Blue dial.......gorgeous.....check it out.....😀
You find the blue dial as versatile as the earlier silver when matching clothes? Also how do you find the more shiny compared to previous gunmetal less blingy look.
When G-Shocks were released i was about 7 y old, i loved watches already due my to my father i'd guess. Anyway, i own so many watches by now- mostly mechanical ones of course all the legend G's but when those metals came out, i bought the black and the Silver polished one, i just love that it's scratched up and never going to bust as NONE of my Casio's ever failed, so don't mind the scratches on a G the founder was more worried it'd break, right! ;)
oh shit yeah well and i love that metal one, fCourse i got the res/carbon ones already...dammit
I have the blue model and really like it although it's not easy to read in some light but that's why we can justify lots of watches 😅
Haha! Yes Daniel ! The metal on the blue/green and red is much darker . The tone of this silver one I think is perfect! But the blue is cool!!!!!
have they already come out with a tough solar version of this GM-2100? The GMB is just way out of budget.
Look at the posting of the video my friend! You came to this too late !
Great review Knight Rider! 👍
Hahahahaha
Also didn't like the type of green on the dial. Bought a Tissot Chrono XL with green dial instead, changed the strap and boy I'm happy!
What's up my guy, what an fantastic review, hope you get that Amazing GMB2100 full metal 1A on your hands too.
Tony!!! Thank you for finding the channel and supporting the show!!!!!
Thanks MWC ... I just ordered one!
Yes Ash!!!!! You’ll love it!
Love this watch, I'm not buying anymore watches until I've saved for a good dive watch of around a 500 £ though. I might mid my green resin one with an Ali metal case and strap though. Thanks for another excellent review 😘
Go for an orient kano or a kamasu
@@goodonyahmate-1160 I have the Orient Kano limited edition white one, absolutely love it
@@its_just_Lola oh lord I didn't know there was a white dial one, I would have bought it instead of my blue and orange one 😳
If you have 500 pounds to spend, then look at the Tissot Seastar 1000 (blue dial). It's my everyday watch.
Since the bezel is made of metal, does it easily scratched..??
Yes….;)
Loving the dial on this one! The neg displays on these are just silly 😂
Yeah 100% Needs a pos one Phil!
I get the annoyance with the negative display.
I can only think that the designers don't want the digital display to be prominent and possibly it uses less battery. But you kind of have to use the light sometimes which is counter productive. I am most probably wrong but I do think a postive display might draw attention away from the analogue. I would prefer a bit more contrast with the hands etc so it's easier to read the time.
Man I'm still undecided on the Metal Gs...I have quite a retro one in my collection but it doesn't get much time on wrist! These more modern ones are a little bit shiny for me I think. Great video as always buddy!
Thanks Jason! These are definitely different on a premium level to the others I own! But this is a beaut!
One of the best looking Ano-Digital watches ever made (IMHO) that wouldn't look out of place on Deckard's wrist in bladeRunner..
Oh agree with that my friend!
This guy is Buy, not an Bye, this guy means business to anyone who is willing to wear him, you guys all need an GM2100 CH1A too, let's go Ladies and Gentlemen, 2100 are taking over!
Tony! You are a gent thank you!!!!
“Psychopathic killer red one” 😂😂😂
Hahahaha too strong?;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR no way, my sides were in pain from laughing!
Never been so early to a TMWC video before!
Nate!!!! Appreciate that a lot !!!! Hope you’ve had a good day!
After trying it on for a month at my AD, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the blue one.
Casiooooooooooooak!
Russ, another great review and you put a lot of effort into these videos!! Let's get you to 100,000 subscribers!! This would be a 10 out of 10 watch if Casio would just fix the negative display!
No man a positive display makes this watch look super cheaper
Excellent video bruh. Great looking watch lots of potential. I can see other watch companies copying some design elements.
Thank you very much my friend! Appreciate the support!!!
Nice Audemars Piguet - joke there. :-D
Hahahaha I’m with ya!!
I can't believe how nice this watch is.. Decided to sell my Swiss luxury as this is just more fun to wesr and having too many watches just seems wasteful like throwing food away...
My favorite G-Shock to date GM-2100-1AER
I just ordered mine this evening, $171 and some change.
I have the G shock metal with metal wristband holds phone numbers which digitally swipe across the screen.
The beauty in this watch for me was always the stop clock which has a digital wild cat run across the top of the screen, when stopped the cat tumbles and rolls which never gets old. G shock was by far ahead of it's time and that's why
I absolutely love them 😘 Mwah
I've got one and I love it. It reminds me of the liquid metal terminator.
Yes Edgar!!! Love it!
Green (3A) vs Silver (1A), which one would be the best buy?
This silver made me love the Casioak
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Thanks a lot.. My wrist size is 6.5 inch, would it look okay on my wrist?
@@pmittal19 yes absolutely
I recently got the Green metal version. still waiting on my pre-ordered solar version. Im up to 5 now. I didnt intend on collecting these but they are amazing and cheap enough to keep buying, so why not.
That is superb my friend! What a collection!!!!!
Hey, Russ. :)
That's a lot of watch for $150. :) I'm not a fan of the negative display (and my GBD-800 has the same problem) but it's definitely stunning.
Do you think Cape Cod polish would buff any scratches out of the case? As you mentioned in your review, the only qualm I really have about a metal G-Shock is that swapping the resin for metal makes it a little more vulnerable to dings.
Yeah that’s a stunner that. You can’t beat a G-shock. Great vid.
Cheers Paul!!
That looks fab, really like it Russ, hope it behaved on your holiday.
Absolutely my friend! Thank you!
Nice 👌. But not……square enough for me 🤓. 🍺.
Hahahaha
This. G shock. Wil. Be beat. GM. 2100 1aer. Full. Review
Not sure I want an analog G-Shock. I love my GW5610. Thinking I'll either get a GW6900 or DW5900 next. My Citizen Blue Angels has served me well for 9 years as my go-to dress/going-out watch so I don't feel the need to get another analog. I do want all the Casios though. Might also pick up a negative W-800H... hmm.
Thanks for watching my friend! If your a fan of digital displays….. steer clear hahahaha
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR so… I kind of switched gears. My wife bought me a G-Shock Ani-Digi awgm100b-1a all black solar atomic (Multi-Band 6) for our 19th anniversary today. This video got me thinking about the G-Shocks I wanted to add to my collection and this made it to #3 (behind the GW6900-1 and the DW5900). I love the awgm100b-1a blacked out with lovely white hands and negative digital tri-windows.
Godtier watch
Watching this while wearing the GA2100 Casio Oak Steel Mod. Have to say i like he mod more, no writing on it. Much cleaner look.
Just a bit thicker? The screws on the bezel should only be on an AP imo BUT!!! does look awesome my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR it is quite chunky indeed. Then again, it‘s a Gshock after all :-)
Is there review on the solar version of this one ?
First Casio G-Shock I got was a metal solar atomic MTG in 2004. Just so you know. Years ago before G-Shock made stainless steel metal bezel G-Shocks. There were G-Shock fans who casted their own solid bezels made out of solid .925 silver for 5600's and 6900's. They even sold them on watch forums. Seriously look it up. This is years before the all metal G-Shock too.
This is AMAZING my friend! Will definitely look into this more!;)
Is the metal durable and scratch proof?
Take a look at my 5 g shocks everyone should own show! You’ll see the scratches
I got this one and a gold (moon) one. I share a gold one with my wife. I must say that the gold one is the most, positively commented watch I ever had. From guys who wore Rolex and Omegas, and since my wife is a school teacher, from other teachers and kids in school. Shame for hard to see negative displays in both watches.
Danijel!! Thank you for watching my friend! A lot of respect indeed!;)
Bought the green one, for me it's the more beautiful!!!
Great review. As you know I’m not a mad Casio nut BUT I like this a lot. The different textures on the dial are a huge winner with me. Strap is nice and wide too. My only real niggle is the digi display weakness. Other than that 7/10 and I actually don’t own a G-Shock.... man lay off with this hypnosis skullduggery 😉. As always dude, lots of effort and a v impressive vid
Cheers my friend!!! Yeah the neg display:( . It’s a shame for sure! Thanks for your continued support!!
Morning Russ! I got the green version very recently. It hasn’t left my wrist since I got it! Great watch.
I have this one, quite big on but it looks purposeful!
Thanks for watching my friend!
if it had a positive display instead of negative it'd be perfect tbh.
Good point my friend!
Great review and I just found your channel but I must say the editing style makes it feel like the video is meant for 12 year Olds. If your doing watch content why not target a more mature crowd?
What and be like everyone else?!?!?!?! NAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have the green one. Gorgeous. Btw, laying a trap for whatapp scammers. I have proof between Alphabet corp and these scammers. 110 pct proof.
Well done Kevin!!!! These scammers are everywhere!!!!!
I love it since I got it! Love at first wear!
Yes!!!!;)
kinda wish they would make more positive displays instead of the hard to read negative displays
Bro! You give me #anxiety 😮💨
Hahahahahahaha this is my comment of the week my friend!! Take a deep breath and watch another one!!;)
Thanks for the video. Entertaining and fun as always but that piece isn't for me. I have a 5610 beater and that has to enough of the tough-plastic-crazyness. Lately i like to wear one or two bracelets to my watches. Not that i played guitar as well as Slash but i like the look of his Daytona dangling loose while he riffs away. Anyway, imagine that with a Casio...
Hahahaha well you can have that with an A159!!;)
Like it, but I think a ‘distressed’ look would work better. Not sure if they’ve done a metal CasiOak in a less bling way. Let me know if you’ve see one peeps.
An all brushed look would look cool my friend!
Love it ! Classy and tough - what more could anyone want for the price 🤔
This is definitely hard to beat my friend!
Well thanks for this Russ. I have pulled the trigger within 5 minutes of starting the video. Never done that before. It was Knight rider by the way
Hahahaha yes my friend and congrats on the purchase!
Its not metal, it has just metal bezel but its plastic inside :) People often forgetting that top metal models are also metal inside, reason why they are also heavy.
Lovely stuff my friend!
I love my G-Shocks, wear one pretty much everyday. I have not seen a 2100 in person, but the negative display is a no-go. I own one negative display model and unless you are in direct sunlight, it is all but un-readable. I am glad you love your 2100, it does look very nice, and am certain it will give you many years of service.
100% true my friend! There are some Neg displays that work well but not this one! I’ve seen the new black Solar/Bluetooth version has a pos display which is good news!
I'm a psychopathic killer so I'm getting the green one , otherwise I might as well have a sign on my head.
Hahahahaha the green ones fine it’s the red one I’d be weary of the owner!!!!!
For fssss sake Russ! i didnt want to like it because of the price but well , ya know one might be in the post ! Great Video as always .
Sorry Mal!!!!! This is beautiful though my friend!
Casio is the best watch brand in the world because they really pass on the savings of their scale to their customers. The whole line is under priced compared to other brands.
It’s a great point my friend! The amount of design and engineering that goes into this company is insane!!!
What’s the difference between the Casio GM 2100 1A, 3A and 5A?
needs tough solar. and i hope the solar version is cheaper than the ridiculous full metal version release this month.
Kim! Totally agree!
Your wife loves it because it’s not too expensive.
Correct!!
Got mine today at Macys. My first g shock. I love it. 😂 the same exact one. They had the one with solar and metal band $550. Yea right.
G-SHOCK becoming more refined? What is the world coming to? 😆
Hahahahaha I know! Thanks for watching my friend!
Omg!!!! Bought this about a month ago. It's amazing watch mate. Looks and feels more than its worth. Managed to get for £115 via eBay, bloody bargain. Shove those luxury brands up their ar5e! He he.
Lucky dog!!! Thanks for the support Ryan! Appreciate it alot !
G*dd@mm!+ Russ. I was going to get a new Duro today and then you drop this. I had the same thoughts as you about these at first but now have a whole new perspective and I'm nearly sold. There is a local jeweler that has them in stock, might need to see this in the flesh. Great review as always.
Absolutely Chris! go look at it first. but it is beautiful!!
Good lookin watch 😎
Thanks for watching my friend!
always have to agree with the Mrs
Please do a review of GMB2100
Absolutely!
But this one is awesome what?? All casios are awesome
