While browsing the web I found the color options to be rather compromising on legibility to favour styling, but I felt the 1AER model to be quite discreet and sleek-looking while still seeming like it was very legible with its white hour markers and white hands, so I ordered one. ...they messed up my order, sending me the 1A1 model (same as in this here video) instead. And I'm not mad in the least, because this 1A1 is still surprisingly legible despite being even more discreet and stealthy than my original pick. And I like discreet and stealthy. My biggest concern was legibility in the first place, and it turns out it's not even an issue (granted I have excellent eyesight). I was also concerned about the size since I'm used to older, smaller watches, but it's not a concern either, it really doesn't wear big, which is great. All in all I am very content, and since I only payed it 67 euros, I'm calling this a massive W.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, the hands on the 1AER would have better legibility, but this 1A1 is still easy to read. The challenging part is the small negative digital display :D
@@SamsWatchReview Yeah there's no getting around the negative display in those GA-2100 base models, but I think that's not so bad. It's really tough to read in low light conditions without lighting it up, but otherwise it's alright, and you don't check it as much as the hands anyway. I find myself more bothered by the quite large hands hiding the tiny display more than anything though. I wish the display took the entire bottom half of the dial instead of the small bottom right quarter, to maybe allow for bigger characters to make it harder for them to hide behind the hands. You can move the hands away with B+C but to have to resort to this in the first place kinda sounds like a bit of a design flaw from a UX perspective.
Got cut by the 5600 strap. (I think I sweat too much) The new cordura model looked pretty good tho I like this 1a1 subtle design more. I love gshock but I really hate those text on the watch so 5600bb was only choice for me back then. The mineral glass is tough, for a klutz like me to have a working and scratch free watch is godsend. My normal casio didn’t last that long, maybe it’s low end watch tbh but still a casio. My only gripe with the bb is that its a bit hard to see the screen and those buttons(but many of the small gshock have those) its not specific to the bb. Getting cut was the me problem so I dont really blame the watch.
Should i consider this one or the bluetooth version ,as i won't use the Bluetooth that much so ,only solar would matter ,it it worth spending more for just solar ? Or the normal is best ?
To be honest, I don't have the BT version to compare with :) But anyway, I think BT could be very useful for data sync of step tracker (but the GAB2100 doesn't have it), time sync (if you need an atomic sync precision), and settings (if you need to change the settings of alarm, timer, etc. a lot).
Do you mean the digital and analog time is not synced ? If so, check our tutorial and try the hands alignment : ruclips.net/video/7JsCiy0nrkM/видео.html
@@Thenishantrao waited for that deal, when it popped I want not able to belivee it for such a low price. I bought it and 4 mins later the price was back up
So sorry to hear that. Try first with the hands alignment step, as shown in the first minute of our video here ruclips.net/video/7JsCiy0nrkM/видео.html. Hopefully it can help :)
If you are having any setting problems I can totally send you a vid on discord on how to adjust. It was an absolute hassle for me to use my gshock at first you get used to it after a while
Great job brother. Love the every second of it 👏🏼
Thanks, got it now. The city times are off, simply adjusted to different time zone.
Glad I could help. Have a great day :)
love your review bruh!
Thank you :)

@@arigato7788 I see, like the display on the GA800, right ? That would be a great improvement to the overall readability
This is a great watch but the all black is just hard to read - I wear the gray hour marker version way more - just because it’s easier to read
Yes, that color scheme would be easier to read, thanks for sharing :)
Interesting mine seems like has no lume on on hour at all. Or maybe i need to check it on super dark.

Is it safe to buy it on Amazon?
Check the seller reputation / review first.
Good review man. Will get the solar one. Time to put my 9 year old mudman to rest lmao
Great choice!
Do you know if this watch fit on a 12 year old wrist? (Pls answer quick)
I don't have an exact answer; it will depend on the wrist size and preference.
Some people with 6-inch wrists wear this watch and are okay with it.
"Pls answer quick" lmao or stop being such a lazy f and google the dimensions.
My wrist is pretty small, and this watch fits nicely on it, so I think you’ll be alright.
Sensor light?
GA2100 doesn't have sensor light :)
hello can you help me how to do digital and

Whether this watch has got step counter?
No, it does not
Date window ableabel???
Pardon me, but do you mean readable ?
If so, then, yes, but not the best. For better readability, check the positive display models :)
@@SamsWatchReviewwhat do you mean by positive display models?
Every time I set the watch it changes back to the wrong time on it's own
Damn
Not sure why, could be battery problem, or maybe the hands are not aligned
(already replied his same question in the other vid :D
Wait it doesn’t count seconds?!?!
It doesn't have the hand for second.
The second can be shown in the digital display:)

Just follow the directions - it is a pain at first

I think you bough a fake one
