I saw these priced around $800 on the Singapore site. As much as I love the look, that pricing is absolutely ridiculous!

I'm mostly here because I enjoy the way Jody says "CasiOak" 😀

I am already so excited for this video!

Got my 2100 a year ago and paid $125. Canadian. It’s the triple black, but I opened her up and with the best Glow Paint, touched up the indices and hands and now have a fully equipped piece. 👍🇨🇦

I'm surprised how nice the colours look especially the copper but just can't justify a grand as I feel it would get very little wear out of fear of scratching it. Congrats on the exclusive release video!

11 G-Shocks and I still want more thanks to you. Haha keep up the great videos! I cannot wait to get this one in my collection ✌️

Just got my full metal 5600 yellow gold today. Loving it so far. Still prefer the 5600 to the 2100 range but definitely want to see how they turn out.

This is an iconic watch. There are few watches that make history. Rolex Submariner, AP RO 1972, Casio F91W, DW5000C and now this the 2100 in its various iterations. I have one but the earlier generation metal one without the Bluetooth but it's very comfortable wearable and rugged. It's the only watch I would trust outdoors or in the rains. They have done a stunning job and waiting for a Titanium one in their MRG lineup.

​Imagine the red Casioak dial with the black full metal body...

So happy you're getting some attention from behemoths like Casio, awesome video thank you!

I am so impressed, I'll soon have all 3 -- great video.

That bronze/rose cold colour Casio looks absolutely stunning imho

THANK YOU for mentioning the MB6!

Jody your analysis & review is spot on excellent, at this price point Casio will be shelving the timepiece in a couple of years no doubt. Very, very few people are going to shell out a $1000 dollars for a $250 dollar watch. Casio made another goof!!!

This feels overpriced, you are better buying a half metal and upgrading the strap if you want this look. I saw a half metal in the flesh and it looked gorgeous priced at £200 which is within reach, just, great video as usual.

FINALLY the 2100 Ive been waiting for

I see G Shock being worn a lot here in Toronto, they are very popular. Glad Casio has captured the market like that.

Great review as always. But even more amazing what a team shirt!! I had to Google and confirm I wasn't going crazy. Speedball 2. Nostalgia at its best.

Love the T shirt. Used to play speedball on the Amiga ages ago. Brings back memories. Oh and the watches are no bad. Finally, they took their time didn't they with this. I like the copper and might consider it but I'm waiting for the jelly "Darth Maul" one, which I think is being released in August? Already have the resin black one so I don't want too many of this style....ohhh so tempting.

Now, an all-metal version of the Casio Royale, that would have been something.

I just got mine, paid under $800 AUD so I was happy! I think this will become my daily work watch. So comfortable and so many functions, and looks classy.

That bronze/copper color is FUEGO!

I love it Jody ;)

Having GMW , AWM , GPRB1000 and GGB100 I’m glad this model came around The golden one is a banger !!!

I must say, the gun metal colour appeals to me most. The price, oh that is stretching my love too much. For 250 Euro I would think about it. This pricing is completely out of the ball park. No radio controlled time keeping.. No Sapphire. Even my much cheaper Lineage has both for 165, Euro. Thanks!

Loving the speedball 2 t-shirt!

Neat! I like the gunmetal one a lot.

I own the 5961 Full Metal Casio G-Shock. This, indeed, is a very good time piece. Out of all the attributes, I like the "atomic radio satellite" sync the most. This makes for an extremely accurate watch. Thanks for the video. Good job ..!! > 🙂

Hi, Jody from Dallas, Texas! It's 2:45AM here and I was just about to hit the sack until i saw your thumbnail. LOVE it! Scrambling to get one now. One question for you: Is the "Rose Gold" finished version a PVD treated finish? Or is it more substantial? Thanks!

These look awesome, especially the copper one! But I have to say that I always prefered the resin models when it comes to G-shock.

I'm going to pass on this. They should have sapphire, GSP, and Multiband 6 to justify the price. The half metal actually look better imo. I'll got for those if I picking a steel version of the Casio Oak.

Great video, was only talking to my brother at weekend about these full metal casioaks, saying they must be on the way… I think these look good but as usual I’ll be waiting for a substantial discount on the price before I pull the trigger on one of these. Don’t like paying full price for any G Shock if I can help it and I’m not even Scottish 😂

11:10 spot on. Much more dynamic and classy. Better coordinated colorway IMO.

Great review! An option with a positive display and contrasting dial markers would make the watch more legible. Is it possible to show at the same time the day, date and seconds on the digital display?

Thanks for the video - great looking watch. I am very happy with a Yellow G-Shock B2100 - with tough solar --- now modified with parts from Amazon - - - - Great visibility dial, metal cover, customised colour rubber strap. Another disadvantage of expensives watches -- they are now stolen, off your wrist, in major capital cities in Europe. A friend visited Cape Town, was warned by his wife about his low cost Rolex, and was then held up at gun point . . . The big advantage of a resin case Casio - is the local thugs are probable not interested - and no big deal if robbed. They also wanted his gold wedding ring but it couldn't be removed. Please go walk-about in Cape Town (with this watch) and report back on conversations with the local thugs . . . 🙂

I just brought ine yesterday in Mumbai, it's great value for money. I brought silver one, but smoke gray color also great.❤️

Oh yeah, bring it on!

The dials look extremely disappointing for the price. The "half metal" GM 2100 watches have nicer brushed metal dials and properly contrasting indices in them.

Love that Brutal Deluxe T-shirt!

Great review. I think I will go for the Copper one 😀

why so expensive??

This is 75% nearly there for me, the next refresh will probably include multi-band 6 which will make it 100% perfect for me... I've never really bothered syncing the time with my phone via Bluetooth on my other G-shocks

When these are available in the US, I’ll likely pick up the -GD variant to pair with my full metal square version of the same color

That price can kick rocks😂

Lovely Speedball T😍Rosegold version will be my pick of these options.

Great video as usual Jody. A bit rich, for my blood. Did you happen to get the news of the all new upcoming Pagani Design, "Sub 300" homage, 38mm, w/ NH38 caliber mvmt. I haven't seen the strap/bracelet yet, but the head of the watch looks pretty good so far. Keep up the good work down there, in the land down-under. Cheers

Another great video. Maybe next year, when you're a member of the Casio board, you can get all of the features added that these should have had. Keep up the good work!

Thumbs up for the brutal deluxe t-shirt. Man I loved speedball 2.

Agree on the legibility comments. I'd probably buy the gunmetal (black) if it weren't for the greenish lower contrast hands.

Chaos Engine T-shirt spotted! All hail the Bitmap Brothers.

Hey Jody, asking as a small wristed individual, how much articulation do you get from that first link? Is 49.2mm reflective of that or is the "minimum length" with the bracelet longer than that?

Omg, this is what people need !! nice 400-500 usd watch, but not more .

I already have a Casioak and this full metal ones perk my interest. I should be getting one and not sure which to consider. Will have to check them in stores before making the decision to buy online.

I got the full metal Casio Oak on a tan nato like strap and it has not let go of my wrist since I have purchased it.

Casio have the 40th G Shock anniversary next year. I feel for that they should release a titanium 2100 in the MRG line like the MRG 5000. Made in Japan with superior finishing and priced accordingly as a premium model. I feel that model will be a real hit. They can spice up the dial a bit but keep the dimensions same. The use of titanium make it very light and wearable.

perfect topic

I kinda want a stainless or black one because of the hype that's been around these, but I just bought an all stainless gstb400d-1a and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Did you mention Anor Londo??? You're the best. Cheers from Brazil.

edit: you know what? i got a sliver one on sale and its absolutely worth it! Think I'll go with the resin solar casioak. I have a handful of gshocks and my beater of the bunch is a Timex :)

I have been waiting for the Solar/Bluetooth metal Casioak for a year, I have held off because it was obvious it was coming and I want all the features. Now its here, I think i'll go for the half metal version, its just too expensive. Maybe the price will come down in a few months but as it is, thats crazy money.

I think it's great to get finally the full metal version. But hey...the price seems to be a result of an product/pricing managers wet dream. If we compare to the rubber version with bt and solar which costs in germany around 130 Euros, the full metal comes to a price of around 755 Euros(!). 🤭 I think they not only coppied the look of the royal oak but also the price. 🤭 For this price you can get amazing watches from Tissot, Hamilton, Longines, Seiko, Junghans, FC and so on, or make a full collection of Orient (star) watches. What also disappoints me is the matt dial which looks actually cheap. Even the solar rubber one has a shiny dial. Even if the prices will drop in a few month. I'm still not ready to pay a price like 500 Euros. 200 would be perfect. 250 still fine. At 300 I would start to crunch my teeth. I guess I will be totally fine with the half metal version.

I have 4 G-Shocks. 3 DW-5600's, one of those being the factory silver all metal. At the time I thought I was absolutely insane for paying $500usd for it, but I absolutely love it and think its worth every penny. One of my others is a standard $45 DW5600 with an aliexpress black metal conversion and it is really very good. I like this, but not at those prices. I think you would be better off buying one of the standard or even 1/2 metal versions and converting it yourself. If you absolutely MUST have a factory one wait for the hype to wear off and prices to come back down to earth a bit.

Great Videos Jody . I love watching your channel . these Casio's remind me of a very rushed Homage attempt in looks to an AP. As for buying one. $1,000 AUD has me shaking my head as in a big No Thanks. For another $250 AUD I could buy a TISSOT gentleman

The copper version would be an absolute cracker if it had a navy blue dial instead of the black! And for these prices, I'd have preferred a sapphire crystal.

I do love a good G Shock, they're a little expensive for me though. Cool Speedball 2 T Shirt!!! Brutal Deluxe!!

Thanks to your video I just bought one from the store! haha awesome video you sell these watches well m8! Keep up the great work. Now I have to find the rose gold one somewhere too hmm (mr bean moment)

How does it wear against the metal squares? Would love to see a comparison

Super cool watches but out of my price range for the time. Thanks for the video!

I just found out about the regular metal version with the rubber strap just the other day and bought one off eBay yesterday. Did mint know they had a full metal version. But at $800. I’ll stick with the other version for now.

daaaaamn the price is outright ridiculous. been waiting for this but ganno wait again.

The watches may vary but the t-shirts never disappoint. Ice cream!! Ice cream!!

Just bought the DB for a cracking £399 - Great discount through the Honey app. Stunning watch! The only gripe is that the band is WAY too big and it's a SoB to remove links. For my 7" wrist I had to remove 5 links.

excellent video sir! one question. I just rec'd my gshock gm s2100 and it is already on the correct time zone setting (out of the box)... but it is a couple of minutes fast... how do I adjust it? can I manually set the hands?

"The bracelet seems to be a carry over" I can confirm, ALL straps/bracelets/adapters for the GMW-B5000 series are a direct fit for these full metal oaks

Thanks for the informative review …i had to step back and confirm the prices you quoted…..and at those ridiculous prices this will be one casio i will never purchase….nothing on these watches justify this price point

Improved movement, nice metal case and bracelet, though a bit steep in price. I'd definitely would get a proper lumed minute track from ebay or the like

I remember a while ago you ordered a case+hands of some NOS watch and a PT5000 movement from AliExpress. When it the videos coming out?

I hope this module will be available for a resin model.

I've recently got the 'rose gold' metal square, definitely more of a copper colour from it.

Aside from the price the real problem with these for me is that the bracelet mods look better than what Casio went with here. They just used the same bracelet design from the full metal squares when they had an opportunity to make this look incredible.

want one so badly

Love the t-shirt...Speedball 2?

Got copper from chain jewelry store running 24% off. Paid $477 US. It’s really nice and I’m very pleased. I’m in the US.

Oh very nice I like the silver one I like to buy one when it reaches here in the states

I’ve got a Casio GST-B400XD that is full metal, Bluetooth, solar, more legible, and looks better that I found for a lot less. It’s a JDM watch but you can find them on eBay. The styling is a bit wilder, but maybe worth a look if you want similar spec for less. That said, I like the copper one for some reason. Maybe if the price comes down after awhile.

999AUD is a huge amount! The silver one starts at 399.99USD in India which is still a lot of money for a GShock but there's a considerable difference!

It would be great if they use that metal case for a model with resin bezel and band, like the Gw5000. That could be the definitive Casioak.

Just sent the “chrome” version back and ordered the rose gold/copper version instead. The face legibility is a real point of contention for me. Hoping that the copper version solves that. I do like the overall quality of the watch however!!

It is way more expensive than the GM 2100, but the construction of this is full metal, with screw down caseback. Don't really know if those justify the price increase by that much though, but it will feel a lot more well built, I think. Probably they'll come out with the full metal case, with rubber strap version, and maybe those will have a better price

I e got 2 full metal 5600's (gold and red) and they're very tough. I wear them through any circumstances and they haven't even shown any scratches. I'm definitely getting the rose gold version of this one to add to my growing collection

Looks great. Really leaning towards that gold/copper variant. It’s just the price though. I figured it would be a bit closer to the Bluetooth G-Steels on a bracelet which go for about $400 USD. I get there are some nice additions like beefier lugs, improved lume, and a screw-back case but I wasn’t expecting an additional $200 USD to make it happen.

I held out for years to get the recent solar version, so I'm sort of not in the market in principle. And while some of the details look amazing (those indices!), I end up taking the bracelets off of most watches as soon as possible. Just generally not comfortable to me, and too shiny in this instance. I'll wait for the half-metal version, and a lower price point.

Yes.

Just got my copper colored version today. Sent my stainless version back. The copper one is so much more legible to read, it’s not funny. Definitely a keeper. Love the color way. Now if i can only get the Bluetooth connection to work, lol!

Metal G-Shocks seem to be a license to print money for Casio. People can't get enough of them.

i recently purchased the metal 'GM' version in silver with the plastic strap via amazon uk at a discount (£140) -it's a quality product however the dial and hands being the same colour makes it difficult to read the time - with hindsight , I chose the wrong dial/hands colour combo and a green or blue dial may have been a better choice .

Wish they would make the first link more articulated so it wouldn't have that enormous lug to lug. Can see the overhang on the top lug on the wrist shots, just like the metal squares too.

Pre-ordered the silver one here in Japan!

I wont pay 800 $ for this, but Allie metal bracelets like these will appear soon for 100 $ so its a no brainer for me .

Okay so the bracelet is not that bad and the wrist shot looks pretty good and it has all the functions and some nice finishing. I used to be indecisive, but now I am not so sure. Pricy though.
