Looks like something you missed was the actual carbon core. On the fake it seems there is none. its just a solid plastic case where on the original you can see the separation of the carbon core and the plastic bezel @3:35 lower left of the watch back.
Thank you for making this video. I have several G-shocks but not that one, but this is a good video to learn to pay attention to details of all Casio G-shocks before buying.
honestly i bought some casio watches in China and they were all suprisingly legit, i was kinda worried for a bit because it was cheaper (around 90$) but it was actually real!
The original watch has quick release band and resin material (not common rubber). The quality way better than the fake one. Btw my first gshock was ga2100 ✌🏻
I have a clone and a few real g shocks. There are different levels of clones, i can't tell the difference comparing them even in hand, that's how good a 2022 model is, i suppose if it were opened up there may be some differences, but what i'm told is, the good ones are made with the same parts....they all come out of thailand, wherever, so essentially its just a difference in whether your receipt is from a high street store or somewhere else, but essentially some clones are just the same, may be a few differences, if it were opened up, if in the gym, or even a night out i'm not wearing my shop bought watches, they're in their display boxes, i'm sticking the clones on, that goes across the board
Man you dont know that now replica of ga 2100 is made with so much accuracy that you can not find a single difference i bought one for 35 dollars and all features work like charm just like the original. It's minutes and hour hand also have the feature to go anticlock wise to adjust the time.
Interesting that you've posted this video - these GA-2100's are all over the used online ad's at all sorts of pricepoints in my area and I was thinking where are all these watches coming from since they are so hard to get new? Gotta be fakes and here is confirmation they probably are. EDIT: Just for fun I went and looked at one of the ads and it looks EXACTLY like what you have in your video - 3 line LCD, letters in the bezel to close to the crystal, etc. I asked for a photo of the rear case and it was exactly like yours right down to the serial number. Told the guy it's fake and he says he knows, he just has it listed in case someone else might want it. Yet his ad didn't say it was fake and he's asking $250.- What a crook. I should have asked him if it was authentic first.
There was a guy selling one that was also a fake on EBay. I messaged him and he never said anything but he had it posted for $300 and I’m pretty sure someone bought it. Sadly whoever bought it sends it right back.
Hello! Thank you for making this very helpful video!👌🏼 I am trying to get one of these watch and I noticed different variations on the last 2 letters of some models. So far I’ve seen GA-2100-1A1JF GA-2100-1A1DR GA-2100-1A1ER Do you know what are the differences ? Thank You!
There's a white ga2100 (among others around the same price) for 67$ shipped. It says it ships from China. Is this an obvious sign that it's probably not real? Or do some of these ga2100 colors sell for this low?
Thanks for doing the video 👍 one more obvious indicator is the selling price. If it's too good to be true (filthy cheap), it's probably fake. I have seen some online e-commerce platforms selling the same watch for less than 1/5 of established sellers. Fake alert!!!
You are welcome. One the main reasons I did this video was...a friend paid full price for a fake watch...it was just so popular and everyone wanted one. Infact, I have seen another fake variant with some improvements,but the case back is still the bloated one.
Trust me I had no idea this was even a thing until I stumbled on a few videos and figured out that my first one was indeed a fake. They reimburse me my money and didn't ask for the watch back, so I guess I have a beater watch.
@@MrFordguy73 If it doesn't look fake then what's the problem. I'm guessing you bought it for way cheaper as you bought it from eBay and not Casio official
Why js it ellusive? It's on all Casio official sites, it's affordable and not a limited series. Would expect something like the Full Metal Square to be ellusive... Made in Japan, impeccable executed, rare.
Buying a fake G shock just completely defeats the purpose of buying a G shock... I had a genuine GA-2100-1A1ER but sold it before the price jump, kinda miss it...
Phew!! I feel much better about my online purchase!! Every detail you covered checked out %100 on mine. Thank u
I checked mine too. Phew indeed. Did not want to have wasted money
The diagnostic mode had my heart going!
Good to know. I bought one an Amazon yesterday and while I don't think they would sell fakes I still will check this one closely when it arrives.
Was it real?
Was it real?
Just got mine in the mail today and used your video to verify it's authenticity. Looked it over and it's legit! Thanks for you video!
That's what you call a comparison video. Good job mate.

Good call.
Daaamn, nice catch, i have been using my 2100 for a week now and havent noticed that, another tell is the screws it appears in the fake are smaller.
3:58. On the original ones buckle may also have Casio China.
yes ! i have one
One of the best watch along with the squares! Copped mine the stealth colorway!
Where did you buy from? Difficult to find these days
@@KashifMaqsood1 Amazon has authentic. He even links them on the channel
Thanks for doing this, it's so much help!
Thanks for watching :)
I bought this watch last year, and I finally know it's genuine. Thank you.
Very helpful video. Thanks.
It amazes me that someone would fake a $100 watch.
Thank you for making this video. I have several G-shocks but not that one, but this is a good video to learn to pay attention to details of all Casio G-shocks before buying.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. I bought my yellow 2110 off of eBay and according to your video, I bought a genuine watch.
Hi there can u pm me which ebay seller u bought from ?
Japan: we sell u good watch for $100
China: we got you for $50
honestly i bought some casio watches in China and they were all suprisingly legit, i was kinda worried for a bit because it was cheaper (around 90$) but it was actually real!
The original watch has quick release band and resin material (not common rubber). The quality way better than the fake one. Btw my first gshock was ga2100 ✌🏻
Great catch. I missed out the quick release and yes it's missing on fake one. Thanks for pointing out
@@Gsyoku Welcome 😁✌🏻
Saya baqu dapat jam saya haqi ni....jenoh juga dok caqi , kedai jam bnyk yg katop, Alhamdulillah akhir nya dpt haqi ni .
Good video 👍.. Real clear comparison..
thanks, I will buy this watch in a couple of days. this video was useful to me.
Great precious info. Thanks.
I have question what doesADR and 1A1 means behind each of 2100 model?
Is the GA 2100 SKELETON same as the original one in the video
Mines casio china, should i be worried? On the buckle
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the video. My signal light isn’t coming on , could this mean I have a fake?

Phew… I was almost too nervous to watch this!
well now i know that my friends are genuine! i got the genuine one from my friends at school so now i know that they actually care!
Hello! Thank you for making this very helpful video!👌🏼
I am trying to get one of these watch and I noticed different variations on the last 2 letters of some models. So far I’ve seen
GA-2100-1A1JF
GA-2100-1A1DR
GA-2100-1A1ER
Do you know what are the differences ?
Thank You!
JF = Watch is meant to be sold in Japan
ER = European market
DR = Asia/Other regions
The watches are all made the same way in Thailand. No difference
Gsyoku and again... Thank You So Much 😊 👍
hi is there any chance to get a leather strap on this nice watch?
Thanks 4 the Review 💪
thank you, really helpful video :D
Hi! Is there a way to tell the difference between a GA-2100-1A (From USA) from the offshore ones, example GA-2100-1AJF? Thank you!
For GA-2100, there is no difference between the two. Packaging slightly different for Japan Domestic Model.
@@Gsyoku Thank you

Thanks for the information I got a fake one from a watch seller in hallandale Beach Florida. 😑😑😑😑😑
I received mine i cardboard box. Its that fine ?
You have a new subscriber sir.
just got my casioak all black, love it!
received mine today, everything checks out.
Thank you bro ❤❤
Is there a way to know if one is JDM or not?
Another great video 📹 thanks 😊plus
Just buy Straight from G shock online
Really helpful. The one I have is a fake and all these tells are 100% the same on mine.
Glad it helped. Hope you will be able to get a refund on yours.
Is there still a chance of getting a fake watch, if i get it off the official casio website ??
Excelente video 😀
Please tell me where i can buy this watch?? Trust seller? And how much
Not a back case but a case back. Thanks for the video
Thank you 👏👏
Thanks for creating this. Confirmed I have an original :)
Glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching 😊
Привет, а как отличить оригинал часов от подделок?
Видео не думал смотреть?)
@@rashid4622 какое видео?
But the current copy is bit similar with the original one including the lightning and digital dial
On the red one, the buckle is plastic and I knew that but the buckle only says Thailand and not casio above. Everything else looks ok.
THANK YOU SO MUCHH. ALREADY SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR EFFORT
Thanks for the support :)
I think you've just saved me £50, thanks!!
Can you give me a link to the fake one plz
Great video
Thank you very much. God bless you!
Got the milky way ed, can’t believe if someone tried to copy it he would end up paying too much for copy crap
Make a comparison with G-9300, if possible please. Or maybe a review?
Thanks a lot for this video, almost bought a fake.
Thanks you a lot but I don’t know how to buy from Cambodia 🇰🇭
Nice video 👍

I see the fake one it has bold white letters and the one on the left has smaller letters
Wow, thank you for That Video 💪
What is Aaa grade
No entiendo ..... Muestra que el original es tailandés y el fake es japonés .....????? Cuando se supone que son japonés .... O no ?
No, al parecer este modelo es fabricado en Tailandia.
id say just throw it down like 5 floors? if it survives its legit and if it doesn't then it was a rep
Thanks Man
The LCD is a dead giveaway. I mean you can google the images online and can see the obvious differences.
where do you even purchase the fake ? anyone know
just cus the real one is out of stock everywhere except ebay for 3x the price
Fleabay. The fakes are only 2.5x the price.
My friend got this from a local seller at his place. It was sold as a genuine model at around 200+usd
Dhgate
so thai is orig?
quick release on the strap. not present on fake
I know people buy fake Rolexes, but if you buy a fake G-Shock? That's a new level of pathetic.
They don't buy fake Casio, they were scammed.
Trust me I had no idea this was even a thing until I stumbled on a few videos and figured out that my first one was indeed a fake. They reimburse me my money and didn't ask for the watch back, so I guess I have a beater watch.
Someone who deliberately buys any counterfeit product does not deserve to be called human.
@@NNWNW071 well the deliberate seller should be fined. I bought my g shock and had no clue it was fake, I was pissed. Lucille eBay refunded my money.

Y mine is casio china ? Can someone explain
Recently G-Shock changed their manufacturing of the GA-2100 to China. As long as other items check out, you should be good.
the all black cost 300 ...luckily i got black n white version .so cheap i feel wearing luminox watch
It's a beautiful watch!
Nice 👌 video
Appreciate your tips and tricks.. I bought my casio ga2100 from casio UK and I paid £109 for the clear version.. So i am hoping it's genuine. 😁
Nice one! that's the hottest model right now. Enjoy the watch
Buying a fake G shock just completely defeats the purpose of buying a G shock... I had a genuine GA-2100-1A1ER but sold it before the price jump, kinda miss it...
Ayy fellow Singaporean!
Fake?? They are only like 100 bucks????? it's not even that ....* Turns and walk out mumbling confused
very helpfull
U can identify it by the pricing.. If it's good to be true so it's fake..
Me ayudó mucho el video
Very good
I'm happy that I got the fake one for fake price
If you not compare .how you tell is fake.
Use your brains 🧠
Original is AG 13 , 2battery fake is 2016 - 1 battery
There's another way to find out if it's original or not. Go to register.casio.com?
My buckle says casio china
On the genuine one where is the Serial number on the back?😂😂,,,,Is this a genuinely making fake😃
Fake watch link please
Dude I had no idea they even made fake ones. omg
The fake one is actually more practical than the original in terms of legibility.
Nah if you can't afford it just say so
@@rambozzle4706 i have the black one. the metal silver and metal red.
