I own the solar metal square from 2018 that started the metal craze and I tried on the green variant of this at AD the other day. I couldn’t justify it as the quality isn’t comparable to my square but I get the appeal for fans. Cheers to all
Milled clasp does nothing for the comfort-level wearing the watch, just makes it a bit heavier instead. and for this pricepoint a milled clasp is hardly needed imho
nice detailed video & great for comparing it with the older one. I've been waiting for steel GA-2100 but not with the price of the GMB one (and i personally don't like the hole on the bands). So with this new design came up & with IMO reasonably good price, i think i might get it. Thanks for the vid man
That is gorgeous ! Every time I see a great looking G-Shock, I think they can't make anything nicer.....they do. I definitely have it on my list but having bought 2 G-Shocks and 3 Casios this year already, my wife would kill me !😂😂
I'll snag one of these when they out out a color variant I can't live without. Thanks for the video, Andrew. Hope you and the family are all doing well!
Can’t believe you described the bracelet as awesome? I bought the orange version and sent it straight back same day as I was shocked at how poor the bracelet is. Given the quality of a lot of the Chinese brand bracelets, e.g. San Martin, why can’t GShock do a better bracelet for that money.
I see what you’re saying - it’s not to the level of the GM-B2100, in construction or looks - but is still decent in its own right & gives a cool option at a significantly lower price for those that want it. Very comfortable too!
All in all a very nice watch. Although I'm not sure about the design of the bracelet, yet. The links just seem a little to large for me. Nice presentation. 👍
I bought the GM2100N. Did not like the legibility of the hands and disliked the negative display. Ive been tempted by the Solar and Bluetooth of the GMB but the negative display is a no no. This one may just do it. Love the silver dial ... is the legibility good?
If you're in the U.S. you can get these for $240! I honestly find this better because I don't want Bluetooth, don't care for tough solar, and the positive display is easier to read. Winner imo!
I love a good sunburst dial, the orange is cool just like my orange seiko - yet the silver one you picked out gives me pearlescent vibes which is classy and fitting for soon to be summer here in aus. I think I want a red or white dial next, waiting for the tsuyosa small seconds to get some new colour ways. Good to see the positive displays too, even though it was never a bother to me! Enjoyed watching as always Andrew! Keep well 😁 Edit: Oh also, cool jumper! Floral embroidery is sick, I need to look around for something like it for myself
Yes Jazza! Yeah the orange certainly has a similar vibe, was so torn between that & the silver! Good shout on the Tsuyosa, sure they’ll drop some new colourways soon! Haha thanks a lot man.. Abercrombie, their revived style needs to be studied! 😎🤝
Dude…….why have you been hiding your face for sooooo long 😂😂 people want something nice to look at other than just watches you know 😂😂 Obviously haven’t watched any of your videos in the last couple of months (my bad) but still very good to see more than watches.
I get what you mean, but luckily they're primarily analog. I just consider the digital display a bonus and treat these like my automatic watches which are hands only.
I have the GBM-2100, the version with Tough Solar and Bluetooth in stainless steel with the black dial. An absolute stunning watch.

Nice choice just wished it had a milled clasp and solar.

Finally the watch they shouldve made from the start
As always the most thoughtful , well researched & eloquent watch channel around , MAMACOO keep coming !

Thanks a lot man - glad you enjoyed 😎
i wouldn't wear the orange but i agree it looks the best

Haha agreed! The price we have to pay 😅
Great video, I have a lot of G-shocks but only one Casioak, although I will be getting this watch as it has a a great price and looks classy
Thanks a lot & nice one! Can’t go wrong with any of these models imo!
This would be a great first step into the watch world for sure! I can't wait to pick up the metallic orange variant of this. Very cool 😎
Love that! 👊 think orange is most peoples winner in this series! 🍊
Great review 👍 I went for the orange, the band does seem a little cheap compared to its more expensive older model……..but price reflects that.
Thank you! & nice work on the orange, agreed about the strap but a cool way to offer the same look for less 👍 thanks for watching!
Another one to add to my ever expanding Casioak collection............................
What’s one more? 👀😅
I'll snag one of these when they out out a color variant I can't live without. Thanks for the video, Andrew. Hope you and the family are all doing well!
Nice man! 👊 Thanks a lot for watching & we’re all good, thank you! Hope you & yours are too 😊
I have the navy dial. It’s a solid watch. It’s a perfect addition to their G-Steel collection.
navy or silver if you could choose again?
Navy. The legibility is perfect. BUT I love the silver. It just doesn’t have a lot of contrast between the dial and the hands.

Cause they manufactire in Dongguan. KNown for child labor
But you got a nice bracelet
Cause San Martin manufacture in Dongguan. Which is known for having child labor.
But you got a nice bracelet
@ No, I don’t buy Chinese Ali Express watches but have seen evidence of the quality on RUclips. Try again…
@@grahamwallace You buy San Martin. Otherwise how would you know what their bracelet quality is like?
LOL
All in all a very nice watch. Although I'm not sure about the design of the bracelet, yet. The links just seem a little to large for me. Nice presentation. 👍
you should try the AWM-500. A bit old now but the full silver version is heavenly beautiful.

Hey! Yeah no problems with the legibility on this one for me, I think any of these 5 would serve you well! 🤝😎
Very blingy looking, but VERY nice.
If you're in the U.S. you can get these for $240!
I honestly find this better because I don't want Bluetooth, don't care for tough solar, and the positive display is easier to read. Winner imo!

Where can you get them for $240?

Nice watch for sure, and price is getting more affordable.
G shock’s are awesome 🤩
Truly beautiful in my opinion!
Just iconic .
that silver one is fire
The positive displays are a real downer, no buy from me but I like the cleaner band.
Could you put this bracelet on the old rubber strap version?
Mini metal casioaks incoming!
Tough Solar for life. Way too lazy to change the battery.
Multiband 6 in a CasioOak would be ideal.
Does anyone know where I could get this new bracelet on its own?
Love it
Love the vids man!
Thanks very much man! 😎
What is your wrist size? I am wondering how this will fit me, I have a 6.75" inch wrist.
Hey, near enough the same as yours! Naturally G-Shocks are on the larger side but should fit you well 🤝😎
@@TimeDrops_ Thank you. I appreciate that you respond to questions!
Nice review 👌 👏
Thanks for watching! 😎
What's the wrist size on the video ?
Bluetooth app s down at the moment in Australia
Oh man! 😅 Not good, thanks for watching! 👊
@@TimeDrops_ Yes. Can’t pair my Yellow Galapagos. Annoying
What's with all the fancy, idiotic polished surfaces?
That’s just how Casio seem to think a metal watch is

😂😂 appreciate it!
Fr. The hair. Very sharp
No solar? No thanks
bracelet looks trash. and pressed clasp too
Bracelet looks like a crap (((
Ahh if its a Japanese watch, Casio, please make it there or Thailand. I do not want it if it is made in the CCP China.
The digital part of these is really poor in my view. I own two.
What's poor about it?
@@NeoWahNah I don't feel it's really that legible to read as quite small.
@MrRawUK That's fair. I can't really argue that.
