It’s funny, I’ve spent the last 20 years wearing G Shocks (firefighter), and in the last year, I’ve starting getting into automatic pieces. Now I want another G Shock!

Not a fire fighter but construction and overall outdoor guy. Been wearing g shocks but stopped because the older I get the less bulk I want. Also started getting into automatics but don’t want to wear them ripping trials or on the job site. I have a few nice ones. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is my main everyday out in the town wear. But I have been missing a tough rugged watch for my job or outdoor activities. This model is so much slimmer. I think it’s a 45mm so still bulky a bit but slim and it works well. Compared to other g shocks that are 57 mm. Ugh. I don’t miss those hogs.

As someone who’s taste leans more towards mechanican/analog watches, I totally agree this watch fulfills the criteria I’m looking for in a watch.

Just bought a GA-2100CA-8ACR and am taking it on a snorkeling trip this weekend. Very comfortable to wear but my half century old eyes struggle a bit with the small digital display in dim lighting (not a big deal). All the other G Models with a round case were too wide and thick for my preference/slim wrists but the shop owner knew I'd like this one and she was right. Thanks to my watching your reviews and learning about the watch before shopping I was open to trying it. Now I have something I like to wear other than just something inexpensive to go in the water with. Much appreciated and hope to get my next watch through your site.

I bought the full metal BM-2100 to wear since I need a watch that is tough for my work, but also dressy. Originally it was supposed to be my work watch, but it does not leave my wrist, and looks great even in casual or dress clothes. It is durable, but its size and polished finish make it stand out in a subtle way and it compliments any outfit.

I own 2 GA-2100's and I love them. I have the GA2100-1AJF (Black w/ Off-White dial markers) and the GA2110ET-8A (Light Gray w/ Dark Gray bezel). These are my daily watches and I cannot get enough of them. The ability to own both for under $200 and complement pretty much any outfit and situation in life makes these, for me, the best value proposition in the watch world today. They look fantastic deliver a durable quality piece that belongs in every collection.

I own the GA-B2100, tough solar means I don't have to worry about a thing for at least a decade so in my view it's worth the extra 50-60 bucks. Being a fan of mechanical watches I don't own any other G-shock watches. Before purchasing it I thought it might be too bulky but Teddy was spot on about the dimensions, the watch wears much smaller than you'd think. After a few months of wearing it I have to say its very durable and gets the job done. The only negative thing I have to say is that I find the light underwhelming and not enough in certain dark environments.

I've had the same G-Shock for the last... 15 years? Something like that. Bought it right after I got out of the Navy. A GW-530A. Been an absolute beast of a watch. Even sat in a closet for the last 5 years or so until I pulled it out recently, thinking I was gonna need to replace the battery after all that time. And while it was dead, a couple days propped up in the front window and it's fully charged again lol. Can't kill these damn things! All that is to say that, while I love this little watch, it's been time for an update for a while. So I just bought one of the GA2100s in the Neobrite colorway, from your site. Figured you do good work here, should show a little support, and your typical watches are well outside my price range! Looking forward to the new watch coming in in the next few days!

Just bought my first g shock 2 days before Christmas. I went with the GA-b2100BNR in ignite red and black. I agree with teddy in stating this is the one to bring over people who maybe never considered a Gshock in the past. It’s not so bulky and crazy looking as some of the others. So far I absolutely love it. I wear it daily to work as a carpenter in NYC and it stands up to quite a bit of abuse. I have quite a few watches from a variety of manufacturers and price points, but my new casioak is dominating wrist time as far as work hours go. There’s a lot to love about these and for $150 it’s kinda hard to say no or find a good reason not to buy one.

It has become my daily driver and you can wear it without worrying about damaging it or becoming a target for watch thieves.

I own a GM2100 which my wife thinks looks great and I agree - brilliant, love it. By far its biggest drawback is legibility. I often have to do a double take to tell the time in even normal, well lit conditions. Digital display is little use with anything less than perfect eyesight. So would suggest trying on if this is important! Just bought a G Shock square which is better for everyday use.

Love the subtle pops of purple and pink. Legibility is an issue with the dark dial and negative digital display. It was take some getting used to, not to just tilt my wrist and have the time light up. But so far I like the look and feel. I could see gifting one too as it's not expensive, is fashionable, trendy, and sort of timeless being a casio g-shock.

The GA2100 was my first ever G Shock and I opted for the clear or “Jellyfish”, I believe it’s called, color way. Very cool and unique but the strap has gained a pretty evident yellow tint.

Great overview 😊👍🏻 I have the GM2100 (blue) and find that there is not much contrast on the hands and the time is challenging to see. I don’t typically have the digital display on the “time” (I find it redundant) but with this one, I find myself using the light function very often to see the time so I leave it at “time” on the digital display. That’s my only regret; not having chosen a version with a greater contrast like the GM2100G (Gold metal bezel w rubber strap). Voilà! Thanks for sharing Teddy … hope you have continued success in 2023! 😊

Important thing to note: if you own a resin casioak, refrain from wearing it in high-heat/sun environments for prolonged periods of time. The bezel on mine, despite being less than a year old, has suffered from slight plastic expansion and now forms a noticeable ellipse with a small gap around the crystal rather than a perfect circle. My working theory is this happened due to working outside a lot in the summer time. Very small issue, but could be a massive bother to certain other people (myself included)

I would recommend the GMAS2100. It is 2-3 mm smaller than the original. It’s also 20% lighter and slightly thinner than the original. Ideal for 6.5 wrists and below, but try before you buy.

What I like about gshocks is their customisability. I couldn't find one that suited my style - I wanted mine to look like old apple products mixing rainbow theme with light grey so I simply bought the model from half a year ago with a rainbow iridescent dial and purchased official casio replacement parts for a grey band and case, switched them over and voila I have a one of a kind gshock that looks like it was sold together with 90s apple computers. Yeah in normal watches you can buy a different strap but it doesn't change the watches overall look that much

I personally own the blue resin with the grey bezel, i feel for the price point, you cannot go wrong with them, if you like that style of watch. I feel Casio in general make do make very good watches for their price point. I've owned a Marinemaster for years with no issues whatsover, even the 10 year battery has been in the watch for around 17 years now and his still running. I also own a Casio Duro and for the price point, you are getting plenty of watch.

I bought the baby version in white even though I have a 7.5 inch wrist. Really like it as it's a bit bling but the smaller size is really nice. Originally bought it as they didn't have a decent 2 tone colour in the men's version (who wants red hands on a red dial?!?!) But the white was offset with silver which I loved.

I had never owned a G-Shock until I bought the GA2100-1A1 last year ... and I love it! The darker face takes a little getting used to but looks great on a watch that has almost perfect dimensions and depth, giving it a lower profile, 'stealthy' look. Last month I purchased the GM2100-1A (stainless case / resin strap). It's also a beautiful watch with a great band but note that part of the case, near the lugs, are shinier than Casio's product photos would indicate - closer to chrome than to brushed stainless.

@@rizkysam4188 Pictures will do far better than my description but the GA2100-1A1 is an all-resin, kinda ‘blacked out’ Casioak - a low profile, very clean look … whereas the GM2100-1A has a metal case and face on a thinner black resin band. The case is shiny and the faced has a brushed metal look. Very different from one another; each is very nice.

My ideal future CasiOak would feature all of the functionality of my GA-B2100-9aer, but with top-notch lume on the hands and the hour indices, covered by a sapphire crystal. I don't need a metal body or strap, but I do appreciate a face and hands with higher contrast and readability in the dark without using the LED. Also, as much as I enjoy the bright yellow of my model, I would like a high-contrast face in black or gray.

I got the green aswell, i found the LCD display was pretty much ineligible most of the time. A positive display would've served better i think. Also lighter hour indices and/or better lume on the hands would have been nice. Its a shame they only make the 4 colours in BR/Tough solar atm. Some of the basic models have much nicer displays.
