I've said it before and I'll say it again. GA-2100 was a miracle from design sense for Casio. It had G-Shock roots (5600 lugs and strap) but also beautiful like a classic analog watch. It was like a lightning in a bottle. GA-B001 or this GA-2300 just can't cut it. Those are their own things. While Casioak is GA-2100.

The ga-2300 looks like a toy watch. I got caught up in the hype and got a ga-b2100 but felt a bit disappointed by it. I think I waited too long to get one and was already casioaked out by then. The ga-b001 though... I would throw money at casio when they give it a solar charger.

Exactly. 'Watch people' don't ever seem to realise how annoying it is to have smaller wrists when every watch company out there is pushing 50mm lug to lugs, a round G-Shock this size is a godsend. If only citizen would do the same.

I think there's a subtle shift in the wider design language going on at G-Shock at the moment - check out the new Gravitymaster and BDG-1K. The Gravitymaster has a similar aesthetic around the bezel protection, and the BDG has a similar deliberately retro-futuristic feel to it.
@duncanhamilton58413 ай бұрын
@@zachvalue well no, like all Gs, the design has all subtlety of a fire at a petrol station... but I think the overall direction of design is subtly changing across the whole catalogue, gradually with each new design, excluding reworks of existing stuff. They're getting smaller - this one, the GST-B600, and the BDGs. They're getting a lot more pastel. They're adding polished/faceted touches to the face. Etc etc

This GA-2300 is too ugly and too flat to be the new casioak. Worst it looks like a ladies watch! Casio is in a conundrum; the Casioak watch is unbeatable, I own 4 of them and planing to get my fifth, a metal one (GMB2100BPC1A?) soon. So these sequential new models are not doing much for Casio, maybe they should forget about it and embrace the Oak for the rest of the century.
