The G-Shock CasiOak GA-B2100 | A Week On The Wrist

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 21 июн 2022
  • For all of those in the watch community chasing the same ol' hype pieces selling for way beyond retail price, I prescribe that you wear a G-Shock for a bit (no, I'm not a doctor, but as a self-proclaimed horologist I think I can legally get away with this). Why? Because they're just so damn fun! I was lucky enough to spend a week with the updated G-Shock CasiOak GA-B2100 and the amount of joy I experienced wearing one on my wrist far exceeded my expectations.

    Totally agree. I'm a G-Shock guy for sure. I replaced my beat-up DW5600E w/ a GWB5600BC this past winter, and I love it! It has every feature under the sun, and yet not too pricey, lightweight, and tough. It's a watch I can throw on and not think about until I need it. And it goes with everything since it's all black.

    Love the video! I will say that if I were to get a gshock, I’m very tempted to get this one. I like the fact that it’s on the thinner side, and the design is great.
    I think its only competition is really other casios. Some of the Edifice line I think would appeal to people who are looking at this watch. Or maybe some of the larger citizens.

    got the Yellow Casioak myself, on 35% discount. It is THE best color for this watch (also because this is the only one that has clearly visible white hour indices). Solar makes it virtually maintenance-free and bluetooth connection makes setting all function way easier and quicker than using tiny buttons on the watch itself. Everyone should have a CASIO Casioak in their collection!

    I saw the vidoe on my feed and thought "I hope they had Brandon do this one." Did not disappoint. I love that Hodinkee is giving time to all kinds of watches. Sure, we all like videos that show high end peices. But, let's face it, most of us aren't going in for those. We've got bills to pay. So yes, please show wathces that are just, well, fun. And yes, more Brandon. Please and thank you.

    Love your video reviews Brandon. I'm a huge square fan but I didn't immediately fell in love with the CasiOak when it was first released - took me a bit of time to warm up to it but really like it. I also picked the yellow GA-B2100, which is what I'm wearing this morning. I think next we will see premium versions of the CasiOak.
    Happy Digi Hum Day! Oh - and thanks for the IG Cameo appearance - that was a pleasant surprise.

    Any thoughts on why some have a positive LCD and others have negative LCD? I bought the yellow one, but have put the movement into a plain black 2100 case and strap. I can easily swap them around should I want yellow or black. Beware though that the metal cased 2100’s module are slightly different so not swappable.
