    The Casio GA2100 has been out for 18 months now and I have been wearing mine A LOT, so I thought it was time to do a bit of a long term update. My loves, my not so loves, my thoughts on the new CasiOak Mini, and what I would LOVE to see Casio do with this model in the future. Let me know your thoughts on this one please. Cheers, Jody

    Ah, the Casioak, my current everyday/beater watch. Love this watch. I agree, making it solar would be the icing on the cake. Your reimagined version, while nice, wouldn’t be something I’d want. What attracted me to it in the first place is the emphasis on analog and forcing the digital to a secondary role. To me if I really want to look at the digital part of it, I can press the light button and I’m good to go… Otherwise I can ignore it, which is my preferred state of being when it comes to watches- ignore anything which interferes with telling the time at a glance and/or tries to muck up the dial with it’s presence.

    Male watch lover here and I bought the women's one in black with rose gold. Didn't even know it was a "women's" watch. I just found it on my store and fell in love. For me the bling it's not so blingy in person and adds a little something and the watch fits perfectly my very slim wrist. As they say, always try the watch and if you like it, you like it.
    I have those legibility issues tho. When I'm at the gym the hands don't let me see clear the stop timer sometimes cause they get in the way.
    Very Happy with the watch even though. It changed my way of wearing watches so maybe my best recent purchase. Would recommend!!

    I just acquired the mini casioak, black with rose gold indices. I have found many sites are now calling this watch as both for ladies and men. Personally, rose gold is not just a ladies colorway. It is used on many different brands to include Rolex and they are not just for ladies. There are many men with smaller wrists that cry out for a smaller size watch and this mini does just that. Other than the size, it possesses the same functions and qualities as the Ga 2100. So, rest easy guys, this mini gets the job done splendidly and it looks great.

Once they got gender tagged, and put some "bling" on, it is hard to take it back unless you open the case and paint the indices flat black. Anyway, the re-design looks good, it reminds me of a Breitling Ana-Digi from the '80s. Keep up the great work!

    I used to loathe the Casi-Oak...I’m still not sold on it, but I might be convinced if/when they incorporate Solar.
    I also think it looks decidedly more compact than a similar sized G-9000 thanks to its slimmer height and overall shape.

    Re: Glynn's design: I dont particularly like when Ani-digitals just use a bisected dial (Think tissot T-touch) but I do love the idea of a more usable led, and getting rid of the day dial. I'd like to see a more Omega x-33 approach to the casioak. Keep the indicies, and branding, but make as much of that dial useful. While we're at it, give me a "stealth mode" where the negative LED turns off, and just looks like a full analog.

    I'm a little late to the party, but I needed a watch to wear outside a parka up north inside the Arctic Circle, and I ended up picking a GA-2100. And then modded it! Started with the same black and white one you have, but got new hands that all fully white with a little better lume, added a lumed index ring in place of the factor one that is unlumed for whatever reason, and swapped the module for one from a gray GA-2110 so I wouldn't have that awful reverse LCD. I'm closing in on 50 this year, I can't read those little gray number on a black background! Also took off the resin strap and added some adapters to allow some long 22mm nylon straps. Worked perfect up there in the cold, and I always knew what time it was.

    I just got mine two days ago. I've got a tiny hand to be honest, and the 43ml fits me properly. Well the white color will get some visible dust over time, so I'd like the Baby G in Black/Matt black.

  • @themightysquid
    @themightysquid Год назад

    I balked on buying the Casioak when they came out due to the spec size. I just bought the tough solar Casioak a couple of months ago and it’s been on my wrist 95% of the time. I absolutely love this watch. Barely larger than my 5410 square and I don’t even notice it on my 6-5/8” wrist. If you like the looks of this watch, don’t let the size deter you. Get it and you won’t regret it!

  • @johnsmith-gs4qf
    @johnsmith-gs4qf 3 года назад +1

    Nice watch (I love Casios). My personal favorite Casio is the Casio G-Shock GA800-1ACR. It is battery powered, but has no crown (crown can't get jammed or broken off). It has both hands and digital and I prefer it over my more expensive g-shock ($100 vs $200) because it is smaller, more comfortable, and is easier to see in the dark.

  • @brett2396
    @brett2396 3 года назад +32

    They should have called them Unisex and offered the same colors as the bigger version along with the new colors. Considering how many colors the original came out with I'm sure they'll add more in the future, but still it's annoying. I'd buy one of they made the color version you have on now in the smaller size for sure.

  • @TheMarslMcFly
    @TheMarslMcFly 3 года назад +2

    As a Guy with the slimest wrists possible I'd buy the blue Lady Casioak. I honestly don't mind the rose-gold-ish hands and hourmarkers. Yes, they could be more masculine if they were black e.g., but mainly I'm just happy Casio released some Casioaks that potentially could somehow fit me.

  • @akasnoopyking
    @akasnoopyking 3 года назад +1

    Im a watch guy and was browsing Casioak, wasn’t happy about the size. And BOOM, I see sale at Macy’s, where you can buy G-Shock gam s2100 with 25% discount. I thought, well if I wouldn’t like it on me, I will just return it. Once I put it on, fell in love with it, and next day looksd in to buy one more in white. But there are nowhere to find anymore. Only resales for 200-300$. It doesn’t look feminine at all. Awesome watch.

  • @markymark3572
    @markymark3572 3 года назад +1

  • @whatsstefon
    @whatsstefon 3 года назад

    That’s what I found with Casio. I bought one, hated it. I felt like I should play with some action figure toys when I wore it. Sold it because I honestly felt like a child. A year later, I bought a regular Casio, the A158W. Love it so much. Then bought another G-Shock. Same model as before but a different colour. Not only has it made me completely fall in love with the stupidly large, light weight monster. But I think the first one I had was maybe faulty. The negative screen was poor. The negative screen on this one is very legible. The blue hands on the old one sucked to glance at. Blue was too dark against the black body and dial face. The white on my new one is easy to read. And now I just love it.
    Yep. I’ve gone from being a hater to being obsessed by them and want more!!!!

    I'm getting the black/rose gold mini version for myself cuz I'm a sucker for the colour combo and don't mind a bit of bling on a G, I've had enough plain black G's for a lifetime so something a lil different is nice. I wouldn't be surprised if they offer more "unisex" colour combos for it in the future if the small version proves to be it's own hit, especially if enough people call for it

    I agree, the digital display on the Casioak designed by Glynn are more usable...when the hands are in the 10 past 10 position. Mark from Long Island Watch does it right by the way, he just released a lot of colourways of his 38 mm SKX013 homage, some of which are pink or purple without expressly referring to them ladies' or gentlemen's watches.

    Jody. What I would want on that display is a huge LCD day of the week and that I could swap that out from a digital time. When you retired you have no idea what day of the week it is and that stupid little retrograde dial does help! So a real day date display that is customisable.

  • @jesusgarcia9351

    There was also a Grey version which had a positive display and that was an improvement but now is discontinued. I was waiting for the smaller version but that colours in hands and index are not of my taste. Guess at the end I will be getting the one seen on the video .

    I got this Casio because it is smaller than most G-Shock models out there and fits my small writst perfectly, thus I don't think it is too big, but perfectly understand they made separate models, smaller ones for girls. However they could do more manly colorways as you pointed out.

  • @andyburns6496

    Hi Jody, the perfect ana digi G Shock already exists. The GA-800. Perfect legibility with the big white hands. Digital display is incredibly clear too. The 2 white LEDs make it great for night time use.
    Perhaps not quite perfect. If only it was slightly smaller and solar........
    Have a look at one.

    • @voiceofexperience

    Jody, I hadn't found a G-Shock that I wanted to actually purchase until I saw the "mini" (not all that mini) on Jenni Elle's channel.
    I don't like the black resin case look - so, went with the white - but definitely would have like to have seen a few options not intended to appeal to women only. Looking forward to seeing it soon. Not sure if I will wear it a bunch - but certainly nice to have a really robust beater that you don't have to worry about having on your wrist in any situation.
    BTW - also not a fan of anything other than sapphire (or acrylic) crystals. But if the mineral gets scratched - I think I can replace with sapphire. Not sure - as I am not familiar with the G-Shock construction , but in any event, not the end of the world either way.
