This Watch Broke The Internet… | The G-Shock Casioak GA-2100 & GMA-S2100
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In 2020, Casio released a brand new range of G-Shock watches called the GA 2100 Octagon Series. This new collection kept many familiar G-Shock traits, but in many ways, this collection was Casio exploring new ground with the G Shock name.
A thinner profile, a new 8 sided bezel design, a digital time display with analogue hands and of course a seamless transition from case to rubber strap - no wonder this new series of watches quickly became celebrated. As popularity around this new range grew, comparisons started to be made to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak thanks to its 8 sided bezel and integrated bracelet style design.
It wasn’t long until this new G-Shock started being called the ‘CasiOak’, a nickname coined by Scottish Watches and Steven Davila.

Might be similar to ap oak. But, feels perfect on the wirst with the 40mm dial. I have red color. Will surely buy a grey and black very soon. With all the design and features this model is here to stay.
I have the GMA S2100 - the "mini" that fits my 6.5 inch wrist perfectly. It has a perfect presence for me. I could not be happier. The larger Gshock Casioak felt too big for me to wear everyday. Also it would get in my way at work. As for mini that I have, and its market to appeal to the ladies, men should feel at home too. The black band/octagon bezel are very masculine. The rose gold markers and white hands pop when I glance to check the time. My only complaint is that I do have a hard time seeing the digital date. It is small and dark. I contribute that to my older eyes, lol. Loving my mini Casioak!

Yea that's a good watch, except the rose gold markers. That certainly compromises with the legibility and looks like a ladies watch. I don't understand why they couldn't have made the indices pure white. Edit: I tried the GA2100 and DW-5600 at a store the other day and both are very reasonably sized for small wrists. Mine is 6.7 inches in circumference and both watches looked perfect on my wrist. In videos they look big but on small wrists they are perfect in reality.

As soon as this came out i wanted it, then got the the one with white numerals by mistake as the black was sold out, still absolutely love it!
the model is popular here in malaysia as well. model GA211O that have other colour variation and GM2100 that have a metal bezel, make it quite versatile in gshock community here to collect it. plus a royal guy here wear it too, so that does make it more popular. :)

Betoi...antara jam g shock yg terbaik.
On a smaller wrist (6.5-6.75), I think colorways with contrasting bezels help shrink the watch. I got the earthtones in dark blue with gray putty/clay bezel and it really defines the size to the eyes. It doesn't look like 45mm on my wrist, more like 42.5-43. I figured I would just get it because it's inexpensive. With a half expectation of wearing too large. But it works. Maybe not in every colour combo imo, but the Casioak can work on a sub 7 wrist. The bezel really conceals all surrounding bulk. (G-Shocks and/or digital stuff aren't typically my cup of tea..these are just dope). I'm happy to have found a God tier G-Shock that speaks to me. I'd always wanted to want one. It's fun, it's cheap, and it looks great! It's as close as I'll ever come to a smartwatch though 😁

Proud owner of the black on black version!
I am waiting to buy the watch that put the internet back together again.
I was watching a lot of these review videos to see whether I should buy the GA2100. Like many others, I was conflicted - wait for the mini casioak to bring out more colours or go for the all-black, sexy af GA2100, but risk it being too chunky. Just wanted to say for anyone reading this - I just got the GA2100 and it is not as big as I thought it'd be. It's actually very sleek and I am surprised as everywhere on the internet led me to believe that it would be this great monstrosity sitting on my wrist. Of course, if you are a lady or have very small wrists/hands, it may be worth looking at the mini casioak, but I don't have a particularly large wrist and it looks absolutely beautiful on my wrist!
G-shock stands on 3x10s. 10bar (200m) water resist, 10m vertical drop resist, and 10 year battery. So it is 2 out of 3 if you use the LED to illuminate the dial when it's time to leave your lover.
Buying one on my birthday, next month. So hyped!

Yeah, my breakthrough into watches was Casio, with the Lineage Multiband series and later ProTrek and G-STEEL. I love solar powered & Multiband (or Bluetooth or GPS). However, since those watches I've become a real watch snob and am intrigued with mechanical movements... the ticking seconds hand is just something that can't be unseen and has become somewhat of a turn-off. Now there are a few Quartz movements without a ticking second hand, the GA2100 is one of those watches that deals with that in an interesting manner (others might use no second indication at all, or use sweeping hand Quartz Seiko VH31). I have the black/white version and bought an original silicon case from the all stealth black one and used it on there. Also acquired the Skeleton version recently. They're cool watches! If they'd give it solar and multiband they'd really be impossible to beat.
