It looks nice (mostly). I'm less bothered by the lack of solar than by the quality of the bracelet. A regular GM2100 costs $200. So you are paying an extra $100 to upgrade from rubber to a metal bracelet. But the bracelet and clasp look kind of cheap in the videos.
A cheap FOLDED steel strap with a VERY cheap clasp on a G-Shock is TOTALLY unacceptable. I've been a HUGE Casio fan for decades, but this is immensely poor for its price......better to just customise a resin solar version yourself, you'll get superior build for almost HALF the price. It amazes me how Casio CONTINUALLY get it so wrong with these models.
Totally agree on the solar power
This is a good way to get into a metal gshock for a better price than the usual models.
If only it has Tough Solar and Bluetooth, I would buy that steel bracelet orange Casioak.
For that price I would buy the Bering Arctic Automatic orange variant or the Orient Mako 40mm automatic with the Salmon Dial.
Yes, solar is the only thing missing.

I can dig it.
Great review. Awesome watch at a horrible price.

No solar, no Bluetooth is no sale. If be rushing to buy if it had that.
@@xpusostomos Bluetooth for what?
@@usernameisusername time sync?
Say it with me Casioak. Casio Oak sounds so off lol
you are definitely paying for the look. another $50 and you could get a GST with solar and bluetooth.
Casio is really milking the ga 2100 and its mutated descendants series
Purchased the orange, sent it back. Very disappointment the orange dial is very suddle. It's more of a tangerine color 🍊
