Aftermarket Bezels for Casio G-Shock Watches! Titanium & Stainless Steel Bezels: 5610, 5600, GA-2100

#Casio #GShock #Bezels
Today I'll be checking out some aftermarket bezels for G-Shock watches - namely the GWM-5610, the DW-5600, and the Casio Carbon Core Guard GA-2100 (also known as the Casioak). These bezels are not produced or sanctioned by Casio but they are definitely an easy way to give your Casio G-Shock a new look. Here's what I'll be reviewing:
► Casio G-Shock GWM-5610 Titanium Bezel
► Casio G-Shock DW-5600 Stainless Steel Bezel
► Casio Carbon Core Guard GA-2100 Stainless Steel Bezel
Even though you might wait ages for these products to arrive from China, I highly recommend them as they are well-made and really give your G-Shock some extra pizzazz.

Great vid! The bezel for the GA-2100 is the most drastic change, but I think I like the black titanium on the 5610 most. Elevates the watch without changing the overall aesthetic. I put the 'cool black' bezel and bracelet on my GLX-5600 a few days ago and I love it so far. The bracelet seems to balance the weight of the bezel and makes for a really comfortable wear.

Nice! It's fun to try. And the best part is that if you get sick of it you can just replace the original bezel. Good times :)

Nice mods! I've got the negative display GW-M5610 with plastic linked bracelet (not silicone straps) from Japan but with my slowly failing eyesight (due to age) it's too hard to read unless in bright light. I finally caved and ordered a positive display GW-M5610 off Amazon, and the black stainless steel case and bracelet off AliExpress this week. I'm tempted to buy the GA2100 but am waiting to see if they release a Tough Solar + Multi Band 6 version before I order and mod one. I'm tired of changing batteries and pressure testing each time so I got rid of almost all my watches that aren't solar or autos.

Well done on the video brother... Tell me, did you use both sets of the button stickers and bezel stickers i.e. all 6 stickers that came in the box or just one? Also, do you think the aftermarket bezel comprises the integrity of the original bezel such as shock resistance? I'd really appreciate your opinion mate before I pull the trigger on a set...

@WatchingCasio 3 жыл бұрын

I did use the stickers, but I don't think it's all that important. The bezel definitely compromises things from the original G-Shock. No doubt. Still worth it though.

I do have that, and it's a pretty sweet bracelet. But with my tiny 6.5 inch wrist the lugs were just hanging over my wrist. I think it's because the first link on the bracelet is pressed up against the bezel essentially making the bezel that much taller. Maybe I'll show it off in another video. Thanks for watching!
