    Casio is making exactly what their G Shock fans wants. I think the Casio Oak line will be one of their future classics. The new ones with the solar and Bluetooth will definitely come in the same metal rubber combination. Great video 👍

    The newer metal bezelled version looks WAY better than ANY of the mods available.
    Casio got the design absolutely spot on.
    All those kits trying to make it look like something it's not, just look tacky and unoriginal.
    Casio's design just looks SO MUCH BETTER and a G-Shock is always about being tough AND lightweight.

    • @gdawgs101
      @gdawgs101 2 года назад +14

      I disagree. I love g shocks but I find all the text they put on the bezel ugly. Also nobody's trying to pass off a Casio as an AP. It's just fun as an homage given their similar geometry

  • @jasonm.8749
    @jasonm.8749 2 года назад +13

    I would be all over a G-Shock if they just went a little smaller. 38mm - 42mm would be the sweet spot and they would attract so many new customers. Look at the most popular watch sizes from high end manufacturers. 38mm to 42mm is probably 90% of their catalog.

  • @rafaeloliva6425
    @rafaeloliva6425 4 месяца назад

    I just discovered the GM 2100 now in July 2024. I think Casio has knocked it out of the park, with this variant of the venerable G-Shock. As a collector of high-end Swiss watches to includes Rolexes and Cartier, I can attest to the great style the GM 2100 offers.
    As a matter of fact the metal with the rubber strap looks better than the models with the metal bracelet and wear smaller. For me, is perfect right out of the box. I plan to use it as a super sporty / beater watch.
    I wish I would have discovered this great fun watch sooner. I prefer the original GM 2100 as the blue tooth and solar charging options are not something that interests me. One huge benefit from not having a clue that this watch existed until very recently, is that GM 2100 has been out for a while. This allowed me to pick one up, new from ebay for believe it or not for $ 60. That is insane!!!
    Best wishes and wear the watches you love on good health.

  • @galuhrichata6148
    @galuhrichata6148 2 года назад +3

    I bought the green one, and also the small version (GM-S2100) for my wife, also the green one. Both make great looking couple watches. The original rubber strap feels comfortable on the wrist. Too bad, the color of the hands is not too contrast, so they are not too legible. Lumes on the hands are also very poor, while the light will only lighten the digital display. Because of that legibility reason, I don’t wear them to work on daily basis. But I still love to wear it, especially when coupled with my wife on fun occasions, since they looked so cool. Good review, Bro…👍🏼👍🏼

    @lavin578 2 года назад +2

    I picked up the Green Dial GM-2100B-3A to pair it with a Casioak 3rd Generaltion All Metal Replacement Kit HOWEVER after removing the watch out of the Original Casio Metal casing, IT WOULD NOT FIT in the replacement kit I purchased - the casing of the replacement kit was too small and I did not want to force it and damage the original Casio watch.
    I have done some research and the reason is that the GA-2100 series has an octagonal face whilst the GM-2100 metal Casio is CIRCULAR and therefore will not fit the casing. Enev the lugs on this metal version look wider.
    I am now looking for an appropriate fourth or fifth generation kit (some come with a crown) that this Casio GM-2100 will slide into comfortably. Happy to share my findings or get help from anyone who has faced the same problem.

    I did consider, very carefully buying the GM-B2100 but it's very shiny, I'm not sure if I could be bothered to take the bracelet apart and apply a brushed finish to it. I dont really like the dial enough to go to all that effort. Personally I prefer the dials found on one or two of the GA/ GA-B 2100's paired with a Gen 4 mod case . Shame about the lack of sapphire crystal at this price too.

  • @robertosandovalfrias

    I have the GM2100 with blue metallic dial, I put it in a blue rubber AP homage kit. The watch has much more precense and draws a lot of attention. The rubber strap with the closing clasp brings this watch to the next level. Unfortunately I don't feel like wearing it in public as it looks now like way too much of an AP copy.

  • @douglaswheeler4712
    @douglaswheeler4712 Год назад

    I do like the GM-2100 very much. The metal case is quite beautiful, and the silicone band is comfortable. I have the blue and the green models. The blue is converted to the SKXMOD, Gunmetal color. The green is going to stay original. I love the dials on these watches, only improvement I'd love to see is Bluetooth. Come on Casio, more Bluetooth options. Love SKXMOD kits.

  • @bidipbo
    @bidipbo Год назад

    I received my GM-2100-ADR last week and I immediately bought SKX's Offshore kit. The band on the Casio is cheap and firm to the point of feeling brittle. It is completely unlike the rest of the watch's materials and does not align with the rest of the product. My reasoning is that I can enjoy both looks, with the mod being the likely workhorse. In this way, I will be preserving the original metal sleeve and band. At $90, the case and bracelet kit can be worn without concern that I am scratching or dinging thousands of dollars of watch. Of course, the G-SHOCK is only one of 20 watches I own, so it will be worn in rotation, and not likely to have any of the wear and tear of a typical G-SHOCK.

    You can buy a genuine original Casio metal bracelet for a GM-2100D-1AER. But I just spoke to the Mad Watch Collector on RUclips and he says he's not sure if the modules of the GM-2100-1AER and GM-2100D-1AER are identical. He seems to think the non-D version might not be as full metal as the D version. He's not completely sure though. Can anyone confirm?

    Needs a stainless steel band too, that will add another 60g or so.

    Do these rubber straps work for the non-metal case (the original ga2100)?

      Yes. They match both Gm and Ga series

    I don’t seem to find the orange strap on the 2100 models? Is it delivered with the orange rubber or was replaced from another model? Perhaps someone can link me up. Cheers
