My thoughts entirely. It’s still a genuinely new departure for g shock, I’m really pleased with it, minimalist, clean design, I’m getting one, that’s for sure!
Rob you attract the intuitive and intelligent comments to your channel. Watch RD is defo benefiting here. The one thing I can't ignore is the crystal could be inset another 0.5-0.7 mm. Inset is a G design feature that shouldn't be compromised. I think they would have hit it out the park.
Got the same one u got today for 87usd. I like how light it is. Im not loving it. Im just liking it. Cant complain for 87 bucks. Im happy that i have the 5600 and now this. Two g shocks are enuf. One analog and one digital. Also got two seikos. I like having two of everything. Just like my testicles
@@parcerogaming8314 qatar. i also returned it next day cause i hated how i can't see the Day markers or the digital screen. also the hour markers are not really white. they are grayish, which take away alot from the watch. if the hour markers were as white as the hour and minute hands it would have been perfect.
I love gshock, but never been of the combination analogue and digital dials. But, I would absolutely wear anyone of these. I absolutely love the red! Awesome!
I'm really digging these models but I'm still sticking with my Gw-B5600-2 .. it has Bluetooth/multiband6/tough solar + i got it on discount for just $96😍😎
Great review. I was cringing a bit when you removed the band and fumbling with the quick release. As a customizer, I never make metal to metal contact, so there are never scratches. I think I'll purchase the stealth and the red. These look like great everyday beaters.
Cool watch, I liked that you flashed the citizen Promaster on the screen, I just picked up a Citizen Promaster 3745-E70022 yesterday. Great watch with full lumed face! Keep the videos coming!
Casio.. Put on steel bezel n bracelet and G. Genta would be quite upset up there.. 😃 but, hey seriously.. i would wait for the screw down case version, tough solar and other usual suspect of specs. Thanks for the video, Random Rob!
The quick release is because there was becoming an aftermarket for G Shock straps, and they want to offer more for the watch. A PVD black bracelet would be sooooo nice on either of the grey/black models.
3:48 And to have access to the back lid and change the 2 batteries inside. On a video, the small LCD display looks not so small, but on real, it is very small. At least for me. Because the watch is thinner, the face of the watch feels broader.
The one on your wrist looks fine, very legible. Proprietary straps... Why? Every gshock i ever had ends up as a gift to someone. However really enjoy your demonstration of all these watches
During my trip to Thailand in the next summer, I planned to buy some kind of watch with a seasonal discount.Now I think that even with a discount in Thailand it will be more expensive than buying now in Russia.
Dont know where have you seen it but I searched online and it only cost around 100 to 130 dollars average. Dont know tho. I saw comment saying that a model ended in J is usually more expensive. Maybe the one you saw is a J made model.
I prefer the black out one but already have a black out GW5610 that I wear in bed so went for the red one, probably wont wear it more than a handful of times a year but it's a cool watch and cheap too.
@@ryanblake4790 of course,it is not possible to put all these things in such a small watch,when it would be it would be so expensive and no one from you would buy it,thats the point.
I have the greyed out version enroute. 100 USD I saw it in one of my facebook groups about a month ago. I've been waiting for re stock notification but one of my local jewelers got them in at the regular price . I think the one piece molded case looks really cool.
Try that red strap on one of the others. I think the red on the one with the black and white would be interesting on occasion. I'm sure Ali Express will have knock off straps in no time :)
Good review. I'm becoming more of a fan of these ana-digi models as time goes on. This would be even more awesome if it came with solar and multi-band. A minor annoyance for me is how large the "tails" are on the hands. At 6:55, you can see how much the minute hand blocks out the hour hand. Otherwise, the watch is very cool.
I have a question for all. I have both red and black. My red one has normal oil and grim that has been hard to clean off. I’m not really hard on watches. But I’ve tried to clean it off with a bit of soap and water. It didn’t get it that clean. Any recommendations to effectively clean the band to clean and new state? In advance thanks. I love them both. I guess maybe I’ll need a different band?
I would love to understand the criteria which makes the design team decide whether the watch should be solar or battery. Do some simply require more power because of the mechanics and therefore can't rely on solar? I like the look of these but as a lot of people mention the solar is much more desirable with this style of watch. Thanks for the video...
I don't think so. Solar powered watches should be able to handle anything that the normal batteries can. The benefit is that you can charge it back up. I wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks for solar.
Expensive watches are damn stupid and it's beginning to show in the market. We are not supposed to be rich. Thrifty and frugal and appreciative of simple blessings of life.
Do they share the same lug width as a square? Just curious if the bands are compatible, or if aftermarket square lug adapters will work for NATO staps. Such as the ones from jaysandkays. Great overview!
Now that is a good-sized G-Shock! Do the hands adjust themselves to the digital time when you've set it? Or do you have to hold down a button and wait 10 lifetimes for the hands to move? *EDIT*: Just purchased one of these. Got the black on white!
The strap is identical to the DW-5600 except for the quick-release connector. The lug to lug is very close too. So it wears about the same. But any similarity in appearance is just not there, some people are using a weird metric for that.
Imagine how it will look in all steel, I look forward for such Release
Like a poor mans AP?
Negative Gains yes ma’am
you can get aftermarket stainless, gold and gold with black bezel and yes they look like APs with the case on, its pretty cool IMO
@@negativegains4883 exactly and its awesome
This is a simple, clever design. The watch will be thin on the wrist and very easy to read at a glance. I bet Casio sell a lot of this model.
u bet. the stealth black are out of stock in most shops in my area.
royal oak of g-shocks. love them
If they had Multi-Band 6, and Tough Solar, I would have already ordered one or more instead of typing this comment.
😂
My thoughts entirely. It’s still a genuinely new departure for g shock, I’m really pleased with it, minimalist, clean design, I’m getting one, that’s for sure!
I gave in and ordered one of the black and white ones. It should be here tomorrow.
Brandon Butticaz haha, brilliant, good for you.
Mind sharing where you found it online?

Big fan of these. Can't justify buying yet another Gshock though.
Hopefully they release one that's tough solar, but still think they're cool.
Very clean watch, love the stealth.

Agree. Miss on not having illumination on the hour markers. It’s a great looking watch
i recently got one of these and they are easy to take apart and to switch the straps on. I have put the royal oak mod case on mine and love it
I'm really digging these models but I'm still sticking with my Gw-B5600-2 .. it has Bluetooth/multiband6/tough solar + i got it on discount for just $96😍😎
RR you're doing it just right. The best concise watch reviews on YT. True analog version of the beloved square gshocks. Cheers!
I love this, just ordered one, I hope they make a solar in the future
Reminds me of a Royal Oak shaped case. Really good design & size. Hope they do it in different colours.
Thanks so much for the review and the comparison with the DW/GW series 👍🏻👍🏻
Defo a buy for me in the red and stealth black 😍
Great review. I was cringing a bit when you removed the band and fumbling with the quick release. As a customizer, I never make metal to metal contact, so there are never scratches. I think I'll purchase the stealth and the red. These look like great everyday beaters.
I have the black stealth and red.
Great deal for the money. Stylish. Light.
I enjoy the them both. I’m going to wear one on each wrist. ha ha
Cool watch, I liked that you flashed the citizen Promaster on the screen, I just picked up a Citizen Promaster 3745-E70022 yesterday. Great watch with full lumed face! Keep the videos coming!
This watch is also completely customizable now that straps come off easy. You can change out anything now. It's going to boom.
I’m from Bury St Edmunds, UK. Was surprised to see the postcard you have there! Greetings.
Nice review :) You've picked up on some of the good features about thrse. Billy Bob is quite the guy to buy all three :D
Casio.. Put on steel bezel n bracelet and G. Genta would be quite upset up there.. 😃 but, hey seriously.. i would wait for the screw down case version, tough solar and other usual suspect of specs. Thanks for the video, Random Rob!
I just got a casioak ga 2110 et (blue and white) 2 days ago! It is incredible
👍👍 Casio. Stealth and red are so cool.
If it has a second hand, it would be perfect for the look
The quick release is because there was becoming an aftermarket for G Shock straps, and they want to offer more for the watch. A PVD black bracelet would be sooooo nice on either of the grey/black models.
3:48 And to have access to the back lid and change the 2 batteries inside. On a video, the small LCD display looks not so small, but on real, it is very small. At least for me. Because the watch is thinner, the face of the watch feels broader.

Every gshock i ever had ends up as a gift to someone. However really enjoy your demonstration of all these watches
I love mine. It's the yellow model, but I ultimately want to swap it for the black one with white hands and indices.
Saw these in the mall in Thailand, really like the looks of this one. Almost 200 dollars over there. I'm going to hold out for the steel version.
When do you have been in Thailand?
During my trip to Thailand in the next summer, I planned to buy some kind of watch with a seasonal discount.Now I think that even with a discount in Thailand it will be more expensive than buying now in Russia.

@@dmitryrus4184 I just got back from Thailand last week, prices are way better in the US, but I don't know about Russia.
I prefer the black out one but already have a black out GW5610 that I wear in bed so went for the red one, probably wont wear it more than a handful of times a year but it's a cool watch and cheap too.
Black and White awesome
Hopefully they’ll offer strap upgrades, as that same strap on my 5610 appears and feels cheap.
It needs solar and multi band, and lume indices
They might release a more expensive version with more features
Plus a digital compass and this would be the only watch I want.
And then it would be gulfmaster,exists already,costs more money...much more
@@vatafakman thanks genius but clearly not in this form factor. The gulfmastrr is like twice the size
@@ryanblake4790 of course,it is not possible to put all these things in such a small watch,when it would be it would be so expensive and no one from you would buy it,thats the point.
I really wish Casio had used a movement with a seconds hand on this model. That would have sold it for me
Has digital seconds.
Hi there. Could the DATE be displayed on the digital display all the time? Or need to push a botton to see it? Thank you.
Yes it can. Just press once at the bottom right button
I have the greyed out version enroute. 100 USD I saw it in one of my facebook groups about a month ago. I've been waiting for re stock notification but one of my local jewelers got them in at the regular price
. I think the one piece molded case looks really cool.
You don’t know why they’d have a quick release on the strap?
Great video. You sold me. Just ordered one! Cheers!
can you swap the all red with the black resin? i think it would look really cool.
the red on red led screen is niiiice
Try that red strap on one of the others. I think the red on the one with the black and white would be interesting on occasion. I'm sure Ali Express will have knock off straps in no time :)
Hmm I might just save the $250aud.. Solar and maybe lume on indicies would have been an insta buy.
Good review. I'm becoming more of a fan of these ana-digi models as time goes on. This would be even more awesome if it came with solar and multi-band. A minor annoyance for me is how large the "tails" are on the hands. At 6:55, you can see how much the minute hand blocks out the hour hand. Otherwise, the watch is very cool.
just bought Foggy Forest limited edition.. and i like it.. if it keeps the time tho 😀
Is it possible combi bracelet ???
I was thinking same thing. The strap looks like same size. I will try to find time later to check.
@@RandomRobReviews thank you so much!!
Yes the combi bracelet fits fine, tested on mine, it matches perfectly
My hour and minute hands dont lume up at all, any ideas how to get mine to Lume like yours?
I have a question for all. I have both red and black. My red one has normal oil and grim that has been hard to clean off.
I’m not really hard on watches. But I’ve tried to clean it off with a bit of soap and water. It didn’t get it that clean. Any recommendations to effectively clean the band to clean and new state? In advance thanks. I love them both. I guess maybe I’ll need a different band?
I think the glass should recess a bit more.
I noticed that too. It was bugging me.
Unable to find black 1a1 in Canada.. 😔 😔 Any help...
Now they just make it full metal and then all of my yes.
Shame it doesn't have an analogue second hand. My old Edifice had one and it mesmorised me having that on a Casio
Bummer that these aren't widely available in the U.S.
GS RO? (G Shock Royal Oak)
Waiting for a solar version down the line. That might as well become my most worn piece if they ever make it
Royal shock
I think the quick release is to take out the chance to chip the carbon when changing the band. Sleek Gs
im imagining it come with metal strap omg that would be so nice
I just got an email from Chris at Horology House. I won one of these in a giveaway. Now that's a Black Friday special. 😁
You are having a streak of luck. Hope it continues
@@RandomRobReviews running out to buy a lottery ticket...lol
Smart
Has anyone found a place to buy one online? I'm looking for the all black one. I'm going nuts just trying to find one
How much is the price for this watch?
$99
considering the lug to lug it looks like it wears smaller than the square.. am I right?
Does the combi bracelet fit the GA 2100?
How does the resin band compares with resin bracelet for comfort?
What's the size of the band width? I'd like to get a third party strap
130 is too expensive for a basic g shock. I know it is new but for that price tag I would like to see solar and multi band 6 or bluetooth.
I agree. These are now $99 on Casio and I bet lower elsewhere soon
@@RandomRobReviews good🤔
Mr.Mister I agree. Hard to justify when the square can be purchased for $40.
I got it for $100
Is it true that the black/white one is the only one with neobrite, while the red and stealth only have regular lume?
i have a heck of a watch collection but not a GSHOCK...Should this be the one ?
I would get the classic g shock square solar as your first.
And then get this one for analogue hands.
Rob do you know if the combi bracelet for the 5610s fit on these?
Cool watch, you think you can fit a 5610 strap on the new 2100?
I would love to understand the criteria which makes the design team decide whether the watch should be solar or battery. Do some simply require more power because of the mechanics and therefore can't rely on solar?

Oh hey look, a plastic Royal Oak 😆😝
To be fair, I kinda like that. I can't afford a Royal Oak, why not get something that looks similar but is more affordable and tougher?
transamination because we need to be rich anything else simply isn’t acceptable
Casi-oak
Wrong, the materials used are resin and carbon. "Plastic" term is too general to use on watch case and band materials.
Expensive watches are damn stupid and it's beginning to show in the market. We are not supposed to be rich. Thrifty and frugal and appreciative of simple blessings of life.
Are you going to have these for sale on you amazon store page?
Doe anybody know if the casio combi bracelet fits on this model?
I'm wondering the same thing.
Yes it does! You can see it in the reviews on AliExpress.
Wondering if the black out version has lume as well?
Yes it does.
I miss understood are you saying the red maybe for sale or the black out
Red
Do they share the same lug width as a square? Just curious if the bands are compatible, or if aftermarket square lug adapters will work for NATO staps. Such as the ones from jaysandkays. Great overview!
Does it show the Date?
Why don't they make more solar?
Hi Rob have you looked at the AWG-M100 series of g-shock....Solar, mb6 and cheap.
Been looking forever for one. I can’t find one to purchase at all.
Just looked on eBay, bunch on there.
Hey Rob, can the combi bracelet fit on this one?
price range ?
I found my new watch for swimming! 😅
I bet these will eventually come out in a solar version.
I love lite watches
😡ok Thanks my luck. Thank you again for the interesting reviews
Now that is a good-sized G-Shock! Do the hands adjust themselves to the digital time when you've set it? Or do you have to hold down a button and wait 10 lifetimes for the hands to move?
*EDIT*: Just purchased one of these. Got the black on white!
They auto adjust, fairly quick but not snap
Random Rob awesome, thanks. Better than no auto adjust.
auto light or not?
"They are really similar"?? They couldn't be more different.
Not sure how to explain, it just feels much like a square on wrist.
The strap is identical to the DW-5600 except for the quick-release connector. The lug to lug is very close too. So it wears about the same. But any similarity in appearance is just not there, some people are using a weird metric for that.
Black Casio's. Go figure.
Anyone knows something about battery life of these models of CGS?
3 years depending on using the features
Wow nice
G-yal oak!
This guy sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad
Can't you put a nato strap on it?
Maybe with Jays and Kays Adapters, i think it can.
you should be able to use it on a nato.. it might look a bit odd, like an AE1200, without some sort of adapters but it still looks good enough..
alexandru lup or you might can customise yor nato to fit the lug of gshock like i did😅. You can check my ig itjustmywatch on how it looks.
all three have neg LCD,why.
but can I use normal straps despite the quick release?
