colors look nice cant get past the big X in the middle
Me neither. 🤷
Why is Casio so obsessed with negative displays? Especially when it's so small like this one. I don't get it. Also wait few months and they'll come out with a solar version of this model.
Yep, agreed here too. These displays are very small. If the face was as large as the GA-2000 with a wider frame around each display that a different story... however, they are smaller and very dark
That’s why I sold my 2100, couldn’t read the display at ANY time of day, it sold for more money than I paid for it.
@@MichaelandCathy1999 nice! Glad it worked out that way for you 👍
@@MoorlanderEDC exactly!
@@MichaelandCathy1999you could pres and hold adjust and pres start and hands will move out of the display
My first impression: I didn’t like it
It is an ugly wacth like the ga2100 but with extra steps
Absolutely hideous 😅
Still no second hand😂
Not a fan of this model
Holly crap that displace is absolutely garbage
My 20$ casio has a better legibility
Wtf are they doing with those negative displays
This is the watch I wanted when I bought the first GA 2100. Now I just have to wait for the Bluetooth version.
More of a 5600 guy. I bought two 2100 I never wear. The 2300 will be a pass for me. But great video good sir.
Will wait for the positive display, tough solar with bluetooth/multiband 6 support
The white version has a positive display.
Ick, why did they make it look worse?? Love that dial though
Does this make your Max LVL EDC ick list :D
It looks fugly compared to the GA-2100 and I don't like analogue watches, either.
This GA2300 seems pretty smaller compare to other models ,feels the size like baby g model or some ladies model .
PASS
Of course folks will choose this for the edgy style. If you just want the time on your wrist, this is a _way_ distracting way of achieving it.
Nah.
Finally some smaller. Gshock!
For a guy with a 6.3-inch/16cm wrist, this one is the perfect choice for me, the 45.4mm lug-to-lug is just right!
Congratulations sir, you are the first one who review this watch
And Wow, that's cool design,,
Casio made this size perfectly in between , so man or women can wear this watch, no need GMA version like 2100😅
I see why they've done that, however I may end up biting them as it's too small for most males and maybe too large for most females. I'd like to see an GA-2300XL in the future
I can't help but feel with the size & look of the watch it looks more like a kids watch then an adults watch, to be fair I have been thinking about getting my daughter her first G Shock I think the pink version would suit her.
Can't get the grey one here in NL unfortunately
كبيره جدا الساعه
لوكانت أحجامها اصغر لنجحت نجاحا باهرا
الأحجام المناسبه ٣٩ و٤٠ و٣٨
Hmmmm... Interesting alternative. I think with my large wrist a watch that small would feel like a child's watch... Although I 100% appreciate I do have large wrists. Thank you for commenting my friend
2100 is best tool watch ever.

casio watch x omintrix+casio :)

Finally theyre making smaller watches!
CASIO knows what they are doing.
Thats cool looking but I wont buy it.
Is it me or does this look like a Collab with "X"
This thing is ugly and looks to be just as unreadable as a lot of the other stuff they are puttting out.
Dont understand why they put the neg. display on this. It was small enough on the 2100 and people couldn't read them then... Hard no for me.
Pass
I'm going to say this model is marketed towards women
Some one else made a valid comment that it's designed to be for both... however I feel it's too small for a male wrist and too large for a female wrist. If they make a GA-2300XL then now we're talking 😆
It somehow makes me think they made a cost-cutting replacement for the 2100.
That's a fair comment. I think they have but just missed something that made the 2100 special
Getting a little too small?What's going on?Are they getting cheap
They're definitely going cheap. I forgot to mention but new GShocks don't come with the GShock tin any more. They arrive in a boring GShock themed cardboard box wrapped in a small cloth sack. Saving the planet from global warming one GShock tin at a time
I bought the new-ish GMD-S5600 model recently and was sorely disappointed by how tightly the strap clasps the sides of my wrist. Very uncomfortable and definitely designed for smaller wrists. This new GA-2300 has a completely different strap design that makes the watch lie flush on a surface and I imagine it wraps around the wrist more comfortably than the classic G-Shock strap design.
I know you said in the video this model wears comfortably, but have you tried the undersized classic strap and can you confirm this wears more comfortably than that?
I struggled with the 5610U strap as well. It just didn't set well on my wrist. I made some content here on how I changed the strap on my GA-2100 (I'm pretty sure you can do the same with 5600 too) and it fits and wears much better. The traditional lugs on the GA-2300 make it wear a lot better compared to other GShocks with typical GShock straps - ruclips.net/video/S1ytfsR0RbM/видео.htmlsi=gdjYdR-sx-Z93IR-
Hopefully this helps and answers your question
Naaaah. They should go on and make something else now. We had enough Casioaks, smaller, other color etc. doesn't change that. Please invent Casio, do not just copy&paste. Just my 2 cents.
100% fair comment. They're definitely trying to chase the success of the CasiOak. The community lapped that original GA-2100 up... Not so sure about this one though
@@MoorlanderEDC They had several very good approaches, but they seem to be stuck with the Casioaks. Here, on our local platform, hundreds try to get rid of the Casioaks, for prices you can only lough about. Everyone believed in prices going through the ceiling, but ... ^^ I hope that Casio will find a way to attract new customers. At the moment i find it more attractive to look at older models - some weeks ago i found a LWS-2200H-1AV for about 20 Euro (+ Nato strap). What a brilliant little watch for EDC, worth a second glance. :-)
Design and legibility mediocre. Why it doesn’t use the hands for the stopwatch?
They seem to have gone backwards in design. Good luck reading that in bad conditions.
I completely missed this release until now. I like the form factor a lot, the colour shemes don´t do it for me so far.
Dial design horrible but size of watch amazing. color is good..
The tik marks is annoying.only 2 line in between the numbers which not my cup of tea.
They completely abandoned the gab001g series😭
Only available in UK market and Japan. That grey is UK only.
Seriously? Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up
The dial is way too busy. I don't understand why it should have all that junk on it
Why did they put an 'X' on the dial? It looks like a action figure toy accessory. Also, I never liked the protruding back of the hands on Gshock dials. when the hours and the minutes hand are aligned in the opposite directions, the hours hand looks tiny because it is covered by the tail of the minutes hand...nasty.
Cool casio,but i am agree with some coments who say its impossiblee to see the lcd part,too little for being realy funcional
Terrible eyesore. :) Without solar and multiband 6. Small and with a short strap. Maybe it's a children's watch, but at the price of a regular Gshock?
A lot of people have been calling for smaller watches I think Casio is just giving them what they want. I like larger watches, but I still think it’s pretty cool. They just need to make the display more legible.
those plastic pyramids off the watch at the start of the band are nauseating
I’d get it except for the Sunday to Saturday week.
Isn't Sunday the first day of the week though 😄
Monday. Weeks are defined by the ISO 8601 system, start with Monday, and end on Sunday.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
@@AlexRochette Call me old fashioned but to me Sunday will always be the first day of the week. That's how it identifies. Sunday is the first day of the week for roughly half the world. However, according to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. Countries like the US, Canada, the vast majority of Europe and Japan count Sunday as the first day of the week. Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week we use today, and Sunday, the first day of the week, was named after the sun.
@@AlexRochette With the greatest respect, any old Tom, Dick or Harry can type something onto Wikipedia. It doesn't have to be true. We can trade links all day brother - www.britannica.com/topic/Sunday-day-of-week
Lets just agree to disagree and walk away
G shock are getting expensive, especially the flagship models. I could not justify a week's wages on one. So I bought a casio AE 1500 for approx 2 hrs wages. Definitely a great watch.
Totally agree. The AE 1500 is a absolute bargain buster of a watch
Wow I actually much rather prefer this dial over the other, the screen layout is way better, one of the things I hate about the 2100 is the screen time readout making the hands obsolete, this fixes that. The weird things sticking out of the lugs is dumb however. I still wish they made a 2100 with no screen whatsoever
I've been saying this for ages. It's great to have the screens on some watches but they're practically useless on many watches. If Casio just made a kick ass GShock like a GA2100 without the extra displays it would sell like hot cakes. They've got dozens of watches they could remove these screens from and probably extend the battery life. I think we need to start an internet movement to get GShock to do this. Make me a GShock Analogue watch that'll take a kicking
Brilliant comment. Hope you have a great weekend my friend
@@MoorlanderEDC I've been talking about that for years. I need a classic 44-45mm G-shock flieger (type A).
On the other hand, even if they would make something like that, I'm sure they'd F up something with the design, so it'd be unbuyable. And I'm 101% sure they wouldn't put enough lume on its hands and indices.
@@damyr I'd be on cloud 9 is GShock made a pure flieger. That would be amazing... Or maybe a Hamilton style field watch with their GShock style
@@MoorlanderEDC That'd be just glorious! But I really doubt I'll ever see that. And even if I do, I just don't trust their designer team.
Casio already made a few field style watches, but they didn't make them properly... too small, bad lume and not G-shock.
At a glance.
This model's aesthetic won't do it for me.
Though I do like some aspects like the dial is nice (I like this dial better than ga-2100's dial design), smaller form factor will fit more wrists, and it seems like nato/zulu straps can be attached to those lugs directly without the need of any strap adapter.
Besides all that, the overall design is wack in my eyes...
It's a "close but no cigar" dial
G shock have been releasing new watches lately.
For me nice size!
I will call it Genaration X
I see the minute hand moves a step every 20 seconds rather than creep smoothly around the dial. No solar, no Multiband 6, negative displays, a complete miss from me.
Can anyone recommend a Gshock with a solar second hand, multiband6 and without a digital screen up to $300? Is there such a watch at all?
Bump! Would love to see this too. They've just released an upcoming gravity master. I think that's sub 300 with out the digital screens
This I do not like with that strap being wider then the watch end
Looks bespoke made for genX
Might explain the large X on the face however we're all used to Gs from the 90s. They were brash and bombastic on your wrist. This feels more like a GenZ blurring the lines of sex, too small for a male, too big for a female kind of size
I dont like that big "X"....
Hi there. It's a very common comment. I'm not sure it's liked
does it have sapphire glass ?
IF not, then
Can we replace existing glass with Sapphire ?
No, sorry my friend this is regular mineral crystal. I'm not sure it you can replace it. It's very rare that you can replace the glass with GShocks as they're irregular shapes and sized
Pick -up ?
Do you mean buy ?
Yes 👍
I might be a contrarian because I didn't get a 2100 but might get this one. It's almost perfect but they always have to drop the ball somewhere, why not make the strap 22 or 20mm? If I get it I'll have to order the 24mm straps specifically for it.
It's definitely a strange move on their part. Larger watches like my Garmin Instinct or the Garmin Fenix feel right with a wider 24mm strap. The GA-2300 strap straps at 24mm and them tapers down to 20mm. Personally I think they they decided on the traditional lug set up first and decided to just run with it. There would need to be a step down within the lugs to drop down to 22mm which probably went against the design ethic. Now, if the face was larger like the GA-2000, the 24mm strap would look way more at home
Lose the thumb ring
Sorry it means too much to me. I bought it on the holiday mum my couldn't attend as she's found out she had cancer... The same holiday my eldest daughter was conceived. Means way too much to me
Design and size wise very Japanese influence on simplicity. I'm still waiting for a solar and positive digital on GA-B001
Yep, guaranteed it's already a thing. Casio have a habit of releasing watches only to follow up with all of the other features the original was missing 😆 Tried and tested business model that keep folks buying their watches
G-Shock going Swatch ! 😮
I mean... you're not wrong fella 😆
I’d love to get my hands on one here in the 🇺🇸
"interesting" design. I don't think i like those lugs. Maybe they should be the same colour as the case.Thinking about 2100 1aer or the yellow version the 9aer. Still don't get the negative display.. i find it tacky. Very tacky. Maybe they should try to get that display that is on the very posh shocks. Kinda gold tones. Still nice watch but those lugs .. not for me.
They needed to include the lugs within the case similar to the GA-2000. At the moment they're a part of the aesthetics rather than a solution to attach the strap
@@MoorlanderEDC Maybe you are right. I think they have to rework the design. I am not sure neither about the face itself those lines across making a cross . Like joining together the whole dial if it this make sense.. Or maybe I am too picky . They need a tough solar and maybe Bluetooth and it they rework those lugs I think I am Sold.
Can’t wait til it comes out in the US
WANT WANT WANT. .. the Grey one
your video about the mouthful Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical helped me pull the trigger on one - nice to see you're using it still, cheers!
Hey buddy. Glad to hear you enjoyed my content and it helped. I have a few regular watches that I switch up every now and again however Instinct 2x Solar Tactical is my true everyday watch. As I run and gym several times a week it's perfect for fitness tracking. How have you been finding yours?
@@MoorlanderEDC soonish to judge it as I just I got it last week, but I'm happy/impressed with the biometrics accuracy, simple yet plentiful UI/UX (once you get a hold of how its mechanics work) and battery life - the only smartwatch I used so far which seems worthy of replacing my GW-9400-3 as "the" everyday watch
😬
Omnitrix
Ha ha ha... They need to do a grey and green version 😂
Fresh.
I just got the re released neon green 6900 so I’ll skip this. Nice upload though.cool design!
Wonder if you can take the lugs off? Love wearing my old mud master but it’s a bit of a beast for everyday and tried a GD-350 but still a bit chunky and didn’t like the lugs
To small for my wrist 😢😢😢
its out of stock, did they just produce 10 pieces?
Possibly. Maybe it's sold faster than they were expecting
@@MoorlanderEDC any news when they would be in stock?
@@sydlobo No sorry. Id check the website as Casio usually have a 'Leave your email here and we'll notify you when they're in stock' thing. They're pretty good with it and don't bombard you with junk emails... although saying that, being a watch nerd I don't mind emails from GShock 😄
thanks @@MoorlanderEDC
If they are going to use a negative display, it should really be a MIP display, like in their GBD200. Maybe it's too small to fit that but yeah it's practically useless when the display is this small and it's a regular, negative display.
Agreed. However with the resolution of the MIP display these smaller displays still need to be larger. Casio need to make an analogue watch. Drop the digital screens and make a kick ass analogue watch
Edifice ??? @@MoorlanderEDC
@@akshayoval5476 great point. The Edifice watches are nice. They're higher priced though. I think I need to up my Edifice game 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC well every thing good comes at a price point ....except for women the ratio is opposite there 🤣😂
What is with the X Men vibe? And why does it have those strange nodules next to the strap? They would annoy the crap out of me. It looks like a good format for modding though. Even getting rid of the nodules would make a huge difference.
The nodules are the lugs. Because the face doesn't have them they're additional extrusions at the top. Similar to how they are on the Suunto Core. Whereas the GA-2000 has them built into the body of the watch.
They definitely missed a trick not having a black face with a bright yellow X on the front. They'd have fellas my age buying several of them 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC The lugs seem to be joined on, or articulated in some way. Perhaps Jay & Kays will come up with a better adapter? Perhaps even for a 22mm strap, as that would be more than wide enough for such a relatively small dial.
@@beakyturbot yes, each lug has a bar between them in the body do they don't move independently. A Jay's and Kays adapter would be very cool on this. I'm just not sure how difficult it would be to remove the existing lugs
@@MoorlanderEDC Understood. Thanks. I think I'll just stick with my GA 2100's. I only have 3, and one is still stock (at the moment).
45mm lug to lug?
Battery is SR726 × 2 , good for about 3yr.
Nooooo! That's crazy. I'd rather have an MIP display and two years battery. That's crazy
@@MoorlanderEDC Agreed!
Aka Twitter watch 🤣🤣
Didn't see it at first and now it's all I can see. I want my X-men watch back 😆😆😆😆😆
I like the look of the watch from a distance, though am too bothered by the giant X up close. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for watching!
Not keen on this. That big X across the face is distracting for me & is pointless imho.
Looks better than the 2100 Imo
Nah.
@@beakyturbot I said imo not in your opinion
@@D3ZG1978 Indeed. And you are, of course, entitled to be wrong IMO. 🙂
@@beakyturbot 🥱
I’m on the fence with this one?🤔
Yeah, I think this one won't be as popular as the Oak
Great video. Not sure I will get it, but it’s growing on me.
I returned it a minute after receiving it. Really too small for my wrist, it felt like I was wearing a women's or children's watch.
cool for younger customers, not very adult looking
Agreed. I think this is the gate way drug into GShocks for a younger generation 😆
Hi.
I have a 2018 GA2100. You will soon get bored with trying to see the digital display. Best G I have, apart from my square is the GW6900 Tough Solar Multiband 6.
Never have to adjust it, and always right.
All the best.👍🏾😉
Multiband 6 is overrated. Half the time it never worked for me. Actually most of the time. Doesn't matter where I was in the city. It was quicker to just manually adjust it lol
@@emdblyou Never had a problem with mine, here in Somerset. Perhaps you should move.😉
I own two 5610's and they are perfect for me having a small size wrist. Multiband 6 works perfect for me here in the west midlands.
@@emdblyou Try to hang it on some piece of iron/steel... a handle, a wardrobe hanger, or something... and put it there overnight (near the window as much as possible). Also, make sure the back case touches the iron. That should amplify the signal reception.
Tho, I've found a different solution, which works for my GW-B5600. I've turned off the MB6 for a month. Then I calculated that it loses 1 second per month. Since then, I keep the MB6 off, and every 6 months I take the watch and synchronize it to go faster for 6 seconds. Within next 6 months, it slowly goes to 0. Then I turn on the MB6 again, and repeat the procedure... So, I actually use MB6 only twice per year. And the watch, for all intent and purpose, stays always accurate.
Btw, that probably will also extend duration of its solar battery.
@@damyr thanks for the suggestions. I no longer have the watch. But this is what I mean, to do all these extra silly things just for the watch to synchronize time, it’s quicker to just adjust manually.
Bought one recently and I can’t recommend it enough,a very cool looking watch😊
Those giant plastic lugs and the small size make this a "no go" for me.
Interesting new design more simplified but everything about this new one just screams cost cutting to me. Yes and that huge X is a nope for me.
Agree with the cost cutting. They don't supply these now in the collector tins. They arrive in a Gshock/Casio branded box in a cloth pouch. It didn't feel as nice opening this up as previous GShocks
Pass. I wore G-Shocks decades ago when they first hit the market. Not a fan anymore. What I DO miss is the ORIGINAL Casio Pathfinder on cloth strap. It came in OD or blue. Still have my blue one
I have got mine just purple-black. I love this watch! But definitely it is not for man - too small.
My wife keeps saying that to me, "It looks a bit small", 😂
You're in a safe space here brother. Thank you for sharing 🤜🤛
Sir,can it get stain easily?
Hmmmm... Great question. I've had similar GShocks with lighter resins and they definitely pick up dirt and stain easily.
@@MoorlanderEDC is it possible to clean them off,I don't want any permanent yellow stains on my watch,pls recommend me which colour to get?I like this grey so much
@@anandagaran1158 I'm not sure how to clean off a stubborn stain. If you shower with you watch on it'll help. Other than that I'd say chose the darker strap version
@@MoorlanderEDC thanks 🙏
