As a recent owner of a GM2100-1A there's plenty to love but how I'd prefer a positive digital display so its nice to see Casio release more options and of the colours available this one looks really nice. As always a very informative and enjoyable review!
I totally agree, I wasn’t sure on buying the blue metal one so I went in to my g shock store and tried it on, and it is so much more deep stealthy blue wich I love
I've had my green gm2100 since June at a price below retail. Didn't like the OEM strap so ordered an orange "AP-like" silicone strap for it. Totally transformed it. Pleased with this watch, definately a daily beater.
Have worn this watch for 4 days now, absolutely brilliant, would recommend 100% Was interested but purchased after watching your review!!! Also; bought from The Watch Shop
"Brown" is often avoided but in this case Casio is unashamedly honest. I used to own an Astra in "Almandine Red", which at least 99% of people would describe as "brown".
This looks so much better in video than it does via the images online. If I hadn't had just bought a new g-shock I'd have probably got one of these instead. Nicely done review.
This was my G-Shock, and basically my watch gateway drug. I had to start with the positive display before decided I could deal with the negative display.
The entire watch color reminds me somewhat of the classic and elegance of the 1940's era. Not sure if you understand what I mean by this. Kind of complicated to explain 🤔 Regardless, it's absolutely stunning.
Hi, just bought this exact watch. It’s great but in no way does it wear as large as the measurements quoted. It feels more like a small 40 mm watch. The strap is more brown than gray, which it should be.
bought my GM-2100-1AER for £140 from AMZN uk in May. TBH , it's difficult to tell the time with silver hands and silver dial and I will probably flip it. With hindsight i'd have been better buying either a blue or green dial version
I've been thinking of purchasing this watch. However, what worries me is the actual appearance of this watch when it comes to its precise color. For example, if you pause the video at exactly 5:05, you can compare the two color variations between the picture on the top left side to the one on the wrist. I very much prefer the color appearance of the one on the wrist in oppose to the picture on the top left. I'm not sure which one comes closest to the actual color in person. Can you please let me know which one it comes closest to, the one on the wrist or the one in the picture on the top left @5:05. Thank you.
I think it's better than the new all steel ones (positive display, light weight, not so blingy) My only concern is if that bezel will indeed resist scratches. Would it look as nice after a year of daily use?
I know what you mean, I think this one will be a go-to for many! From experience with my other GM-2100s it should be just fine, perhaps I will do a "year on the wrist video"? :) Thanks for watching!
I already bought 4 new watches recently and wasn't looking for another, but your review sold me on this metal casioak colorway. My only other Gshock is a silver GSTB400. I love it, but always wanted a metal casioak, especially one with better legibility. There are 3 new models just released with textile straps, but I think this one beats them all, especially with that positive display and beautiful dark rose gold bezel. The only thing I don't like is the strap so I'll throw on the black strap from my GST while I do some shopping. The base silver with orange strap looks super sharp, but orange probably won't work with dark rose gold. Anyway, fun times. So excited to add this to my collection.
dont understand why this model doesnt have solar or bluetooth? cheaper plastic one have it and the full metal one has it. dont like to spend twice as much money for full metal one because dont like metal bands because how cold they get in winter time. this one would be perfect if it had solar and bluetooth like others have
I have ga 2100 1A, after some time, the resin band has a very slight gap with the watch case (not as tight as before)...does the gm 2100 also have the same problem?
The best Metal 2100? That's a big statement to say the least, no other Gshock has called my attention like the GM2100B-3A that beautiful green watch is 🔥 gotten so many compliments since I purchased my first ever Gshock, that being said this brown model is calling my attention, but in all honesty, can it dethrone the GM2100B-3A?
I’m torn between buying the green or the midnight fog….. which one do you prefer??? I’ve been pondering for a month and just can’t decide. And before you ask I’m not getting both! Help!
Depends on your taste, me personally is using the green one for a month now more or less.. i chose the casioak metal bezel because i always wanted a watch where i can use for formal events ( but somewhere in between formal and casual, if you know what i mean? ) That's why i don't like the silver & black because it looks more casual for me.. my advice is that go for the one that would look good with your daily outfit 😉
Same dilemma. Positive display is good but the green just looks better even with the negative display. What I'm appreciating is how understated that gunmetal is compared to the shiny blingy silver bezels on the other more legible metallic bezel models. The other advantage with these non solar models is you can have date and day of the week at a glance
It's gorgeous, it looks brilliant, it's a shame that it doesn't last over time... From what I've read about Quartz watches, I'm somehow deflated. Automatic watches last a lifetime, but quartz watches last for a maximum of 10 years and the mechanism breaks down. I am a big fan of G Shock, I have 3 pieces, I stopped at 3 for this reason and I don't think I will continue to buy quartz watches.

Thank you, & yes it certainly is a great option! Thanks a lot for watching :)
Just got this watch and absolutely love it! Definitely worth every penny!
This watch is sooooo much sexier in person than on their website. Casio did fail big time to capture the spirit of this watch in their advertisement.
I totally agree, I wasn’t sure on buying the blue metal one so I went in to my g shock store and tried it on, and it is so much more deep stealthy blue wich I love
I have color Metal GM-2100 - and I LOVE THIS AMAZING WATH - BUT CASIO ROULE ☝️✊🔥👌🫶 G-Shock - Wan Love ❤️😉

Where did you get the strap?
Why's everyone putting orange straps on lol
Have worn this watch for 4 days now, absolutely brilliant, would recommend 100%
Was interested but purchased after watching your review!!!
Also; bought from The Watch Shop
Great to hear! Enjoy it & Congrats! 🙌
I have it and I receive tons of compliments. All people like it!
Yes, have the brown one and the stock image is truly does disservice considering how it looks in real life...
"Brown" is often avoided but in this case Casio is unashamedly honest. I used to own an Astra in "Almandine Red", which at least 99% of people would describe as "brown".
Just got my hands on one of these and, as you said the website does not do justice to how good the colour is! Great review BTW.
Congrats man & thank you!!
Ok ok i ordered the green and love it but then a week later i found this series...and immediately knew id have both. The positive display is a plus.
Definitely looks way better on your video than in the pictures!
This looks so much better in video than it does via the images online. If I hadn't had just bought a new g-shock I'd have probably got one of these instead. Nicely done review.

Thanks a lot, great to see the growth of your channel also, smashing it!

Thanks for helping me to buy the right one. Right after this video I ordered the same and I am loving it 🫶🏼
That’s awesome! Congratulations on your purchase & thanks for watching! 😎
Just bought this for my father will definitely buy it for myself too 👏🏽
I love the colorway
The steel dials just changed the game 🎯

The strap is more brown than gray, which it should be.
I agree, what a lovely review! May I check whether anyone has had issues changing the battery? My current G shock is solar powered.

Tbh the green isn't that much better dial and hands.
@@tonychan3838really? i thought it might be a little better. Because this brown bezel watch here has that same problem of grey on grey
Casio needs to make an automatic version of this watch. They look like Patek Philip
Why have they not used the solar powered stainless case with rubber strap instead of the quartz…???
Silver buckle should have been brown
Just bought one, beautiful watch!

I have seen this watch in person and the colour of the one on the wrist is correct

I can't stand blingy watches.
Remind me of rappers and street gangsters.
@@looseunit1615 this isn’t bling at all
@@TimeDrops_waitin for the vid!
Nice! I like the metal finish on this one.

Hey, honestly; the strap makes it and goes well with the whole brown look.
Only spoiler is the silver colour buckle
Just got mine, vids and pics don't do this watch any justice. I also have the silver version, the black strap looks pretty killer on the midnight fog.
I'm planning to buy it, very sporty and elegant, but I have a small wrist (7cm = 2.7inch). Just a question, how long is your wrist?
i trid the entire color at the shop n i agree with u this is indeed the best metal head casioak. i bought it 😁
Just bought one after watching your review !
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Band is so much nicer than the solar options.
Great review, buddy.
Thank you 😁 & thanks for watching! 😎
Great, great review
Is there one with a black band? I really want the GM-b2100gd-5a but i don't want a rose gold metal band... but a black band.
i have a big size hand.... does it suit me or not?
dont understand why this model doesnt have solar or bluetooth? cheaper plastic one have it and the full metal one has it. dont like to spend twice as much money for full metal one because dont like metal bands because how cold they get in winter time. this one would be perfect if it had solar and bluetooth like others have
does the metal bezel corrode?
That's dope!
I know right?! :) Thanks a lot for watching!
What is the gold bezel version you show that looks like a hammered texture or ball peened ?
I bought today 😊
Nice! Congrats & thanks for watching! :)
I have ga 2100 1A, after some time, the resin band has a very slight gap with the watch case (not as tight as before)...does the gm 2100 also have the same problem?
I don't think so.. i've been using gm2100 the green version for a month or so..
My ga2100 still tight as before.. been using it since 2021
Solar? Bluetooth?
how best -iTme!💯
love it....
🔥🔥

This all brown and gray version is the best
@@5taunch this brown version is fantastic
@@5taunchwhich did you get in the end? Inspite of the positive display I'm leaning towards the green

It’s brown
I like the look of this watch. I don't think I would buy one though.
The new gold version is the most legible

Is it Solar? Watch Shop listed it as Tough Solar 😒
They can change the case material all they want, the dial is still butt ugly. AP Royal Oak didn't became famous only because of the hexagonal shape. 😄
