$100 G-Shock “CasiOak” is the Cheapest Cool Watch You Can Buy

When I turned 16, I was given £100 for my birthday and, back then, it seemed like a fortune. The world, in that moment, had become my oyster. Today, however, £100 doesn’t seem to do a whole lot of anything. You certainly wouldn’t be able to purchase a watch that was actually pretty cool and interesting with it-or so I thought. Because £100-and $100 for that matter-is all you need to buy a watch that people have been clamouring over each other to get. It’s the Casio G Shock GA-2100-the “CasioOak”. Here are three reasons why it’s the cheapest cool watch you can buy.

Got an F-91 in 7th Grade and it was the coolest thing ever. It was the first watch I ever wanted and bought with allowance money. I upgraded to a beefier W-26 a year later. What a great set of features for the price, even back in the late-1980s. Casio deserves respect and it's a treat to see one of their iconic models featured here.

This one was my entry into watch collecting. I had been considering getting into the hobby for a month or two, reading forums, and this one came up. I loved the design, knew I would be getting a quality watch, saw that it was well regarded and appreciated, and it was a price that wouldn't punish me if I decided it wasn't for me. It was.

My first watch in 15 years. I think this watch set a high bar for everyday wear. it displays two time at once precisely the 2nd time can be a stopwatch too. I wear much more expensive watch now but I need to force myself from going back to the ga2100. Cause the lightness and array of features just isn't present with mechanical movement.

I looked at many reviews online and people were saying how the time on the triple black (featured in this video) was hard to read etc. I'm so glad I didn't let those people sway me and went for this one. I love the all black. Makes it look elegant but serious at the same time. I absolutely love its stealthy look. And it goes with all outfits. One of my favourite watches in my collection. 💯

I started collecting watches mid-2020 (because what else was I going to do) and the GA2100 was right at the top of my shopping list, but it was impossible to get at the time. I wound up grabbing an Edifice ECB-10, which is slightly bigger than the GA-2100. I have both Casioaks in front of me right now, and it kind of seems like two different design teams were given the same basic mission to create a Royal Oak-inspired watch, and went in wildly different directions. I eventually did get a GA2100 (the JDM Christmas color model), and it's a nice watch, but I gotta admit, the Bluetooth functions on the Edifice make it more of a daily wear choice for me. I do like that they've added a bunch of other models of both G-Shock and Edifice to the octagonal arena, though.

I originally got this because of the metal case mod fever and I wore it with the aftermarket case for some time. Last week I looked at my modded "casioak" on my whist and something just didn't feel right. It had nothing to do with the aesthetics, but something else I couldn't explain, so I decided to change it back to the rubber case and strap. It was until this video that I could finally understand what that was all about, it was a sense of guilt: why did I replace the cheap rubber case and strap to make it look like something that it is not?

This is why I will always love Japanese giants like Casio and Seiko. The quality and price point delivered to a normal human being has always been excellent, while also representing a huge middle finger to luxury market. And I'm all for it 👏

But a cheap Casio Duro Quartz, the second hand hits the markers and the bezel lines up, all for like $45 with sales tax and delivery. Seen high end quartz watches that don't hit the markers or some not cheap Seiko automatics that bezels don't align, and more than sub $500 ones.

I have the exact same model and color that I had to pay premium to get it after it was just released. I always thought I should have a G shock in my collection but none of the previous models rings my bell until I saw this one. Well done watchfinder reviewing this $100 watch!

Very cool watch. I have the same, but with white markers for legibility. Then bought the grey, gave that to a buddy that loved it. Then bought the new snow scape (CASIO G-SHOCK GAE-2100GC-7AJR) to replace it. Love that one.

As the owner of a Casio digital and a GSteel, I have to say I was underwhelmed by this in person. Could be the monochrome look, but it looks like a rubber mold of a real watch. Like the scene in Snatch where he spots "REPLICA" on the gun.

I started my whole photographic journey with 50 bucks spent on a Pentax Me and a K 55 / 1.8 lens. I will forever be greatful for this experience. And I also started my journey with a Casio G-shock for my confirmation, as a present from my uncle. This video really got to me. Thany you!

If you want the perfect amalgam of nostalgia, functionality, and rugged durability, look no further than a Casio. Its a watch brand that emphasizes practicality but does not achieve this utility by sacrificing what makes a watch fun. In a hobby where exorbitant prices, status, prestige, and all things pretentious tend to many times overshadow the joy of watch collecting, going back to the reliable Casio reinvigorates the childlike wonder and curiosity that got us into watch collecting in the first place.

I was in the US Army for a long time, but now, I'm into survival and outdoors stuff, I've never been a "watch guy". But for some reason I've had a feeling to get a watch recently. A buddy I served with (who was Special Forces and a total bad ass) recommended this watch to me, he's into watches and all that jazz. Told him what I wanted, and this one was the first thing he recommended. Ordered it a couple days ago.

The first watch I ever purchased was a casio MRW200H dive style watch and I adored that watch. Later when the battery died I purchased a G-100 G-shock. I still have the G-100 but I just upgraded to the GA-B2100 not even knowing I was picking up a legendary icon.

Bought my Casio AQ-S800W-1B2V 10 years ago and it's still running strong. I was so careful buying a watch with my limited paycheck back then. Needed something strong, packed with time features, and a low profile so I can reach inside of PCs with ease for my job as an IT technician. Plus it's solar powered.

Man you nailed it with that nostalgia part. I've always had a special place in my heart for watches, ironically this is coming from someone who rarely wears one for a bunch of reasons (can't afford, doesn't match my style, etc) but I've always longed to collect a few budget watches. Why? Because the first watch I ever owned was the g shock frogman my dad gifted to me, the same one he himself used back in his scuba diving days.

These G Shock GA 2100s have a wide ranging appeal. They've been favorably reviewed on at least a dozen watch channels including those that normally review high end watches. I have this model the gray and the skeleton version. Oison on the Timeless Watch channel got the stealth model as a gift and he thought it was the coolest g shock he'd seen. I like them they're cool and you can just grab them and go.
