- I've been wearing this new green G-Shock "Casioak" almost non stop for two weeks and I've figured out what place it will have in my collection.
CASIO G-SHOCK GA-2110SU-3A
I purchased this at www.mywristcheck.com with a discount.
Got the camo one and its getting more time than my “nicer” watch. Very versatile.
Funny how G-Shock can do that to you. 😉
Great looking watch. I think the green is the best right now. Ordered one yesterday.
Oh you are going to love it. So tough and so much fun. 😎
@@halfpastblog Well unfortunately I did not love it. 😥 It looks nice and all... but too much manipulating to set and being near sighted with contact lenses doesn't help me. Plus I got no manual with mine. Tried watching CZcams but again it's so small and the user interface sucks especially when trying to set the hands and time zone. When you select a city you cant even back up you have to toogle all the way around again.
The lower screen is awful and just too small. Again it looks nice but I am not the type of person that wants to spend 10-15 minutes setting up his watch. I will stick with my current gshock and wait for a better alternative. Imo an all digital or all analog watch is the way to go.
@@Anth230 oh no! That sucks! Sorry you didn't like it. That screen really is small. I set it once using CZcams and hope to never have to set it again. 😉
@@halfpastblog That was my issue. Didnt want to go through setting it again down the road. It did look great on my wrist and all. To make matters worse I also ordered a green DW5610Su-3 to replace my current work watch. Unfortunately the buttons were all screwed up. The adjust button is depressed almost level with the case surface. Sigh...I could probably take it apart. But it's too damn hot today..
Lol....ordered both watches from different stores...one dillinger and the other Macy's and both watches..no manual...
Oh no! That suuuuuucks! 😞
Hi, good Job! Nice review on a very special watch I def. will buy in the next couple of weeks. I like your happy and friendly voice! Hope to see more of you. Greetings from Vienna (Austria)
Hey buddy. Thanks for writing. I appreciate the feedback. Let me know what you think of it when you buy one. If you are on Instagram definitely tag me there too. 👍
That’s a beauty. As you you know I have a new respect for Casio. Good review my friend.
Thanks man. Ya you put that Casio through its paces!
I have the camo bezel version on the way. Cannot wait to get it. I appreciate your Excellent Review. Enjoy your Casioak!👍
Thanks very much, Kevin! I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. 👍
I have considered to get this watch a long time. A few days ago I ordered one.
Hope you enjoy it. This is one of my first videos.
Buenísimo el video.
Estoy por comprarme uno de éstos Casio.
Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Greetings from Canada! Thanks so much for watching.
Update .Just found myself a Casioak in green [finally]and it's on it's way .Can't wait !
Wooooooo! Enjoy it!
Just got this watch and as you say it’s an amazing field type watch. Use it and abuse it.
Right on! Wore mine all day yesterday doing yard work and dump runs etc. 🤟🤟🤟
I got the camo bezel one, and put a camo nato on it. Both camo patters are almost a match. Looks cool.
Really nice video. I'm actually wearing mine today too. Thanks man :)
Thanks, Bob. I'm sure it will accompany you to the cottage this summer.
I bought mine yesterday. Green colour 🌹❤😊✌🏽
Nice! How do you like it?
@@halfpastblog love it. Unique colour. ✌🏽
@@rubenraj3387 Awesome! Glad to hear it. I love my green version for sure.
I mean it's got the 5 basic g shock functions, time/date, world time, timer, alarm and stop watch. I really wish they were multi-band 6 and solar but they they would also be 300 dollars. However, I think they could have had a crystal lens at this price point instead of plastic but as far as looks go i think they nailed it!
That's always the catch isn't it?
1. There's is no metal in the majority of G-Shocks. The stronger carbon core just replaces a thicker layer of resin, which is why this is so thin compared to other G-Shocks.
2. You can't just swap bezels on these, they're basically forged to the case. If you put the camo version on yours it will also lose the green case.
3. I have a 6" wrist and it fits me just fine. Better then my GW-M5610 actually.
Glad you are enjoying the GA2110 though, I really love my yellow one as well. Cheers mate.
Hey. I appreciate all the info. Great stuff! A lot of g-shocks have a metal cage inside them the add structural integrity. I am certainly no expert. I've only read about it and watched videos showing the guts. I'm not brave enough to pull my 5600 apart. 😂 What I've read about the 2100 line is the carbon core composite dismisses the need for such a cage. Again, not an expert, just explaining what I've gleaned from the interweb. 👍
Which one would you pick between those two.
@@juliangrossi94 I've sold my GW-M5610 after I got the GA-2110. But it's all a matter of personal preference. The 5610 kinda is superior with it's solar and atomic features, but I just prefer ana/digi over digital and the GA-2110 simply fits my smaller wrist better. Best advice I can give you is to get both and see which one you like best ;)
@@juliangrossi94 Between which two?
@@storm3016 thank you!
I have been rocking this same watch for a month now. Great watch. Only thing I wish it had was an auto repeating countdown timer.
That would be very nice. 👌 👌 👌
Great review and the final decider on my new purchase 👍
It makes me happy that I could be helpful! Thanks for writing! 👍 👍
Arrived today 👍 nice watch although I'm tempted to see what it looks like with a military one piece strap 🤔😁
@@MungoMagic That was quick. I've seen it and it looks great. 👍 👍
This doesn't have some of the major characteristics of a field watch - high contrast white hands and indices, leather or canvas band, steel case (20 ATM WR is not a typical field watch feature) - but it is definitely military-type and a nice watch in looks and function. Might get one. Thanks for the review.
You are most welcome. 👍
Great review ,enjoyed your content looking forward to more
Thanks very much!
Have a bright yellow one. I love it . Such a cool watch. Unobtrusive
The slim profile really is useful when working with your hands. Doesn't get caught up easily. 👍
Great video. I Dig that watch
Thanks! 👍 👍
Great review! I absolutely agree with you with the sub dial. Another thing I would change is the day dial. There’s just something tacky about it. I’d rather have it in LCD on the bottom left but that’s just me. And yes, I’ve so many other watches but always take out the my GShock when I’m outside or working. There’s just something to it
Thanks a lot! I wonder if the dial would look a little plain without the day complication. Interesting thought though! 👍
Part of The Holy Trinity! PP VC and Casioak!
😂
Great video and thanks for the plug!!
Happy to support the watch fam
ps Just bought one in blue too.[I'm on a roll]This one has a positive display so actually readable lol
I am a huge fan of the positive display. Wear it with pride. 👍 👍 👍 👍
I wish they did this small
How small?
The Casio really is perfect for outdoors. While the Defender looks perfect for the field in terms of aesthetic, the case and crystal will get damaged during more extreme adventures. The Bulova with the cushion case looks really cool. What's the model number?
96B230 I believe. Google Bulova Military UHF and it will pop right up. It is hard to find and I get offers from people to buy it every once in a while.
Yes, I'm surprised the Defender has held up so well. I think the flat mineral crystal helps deflect blows. But the G-Shock is now going to go with me on rougher hikes. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it, man! 👍 👍
yeah agree..vintage field watches are more looking great but you dont have any problem of its durabliity because this watches are still durable and bumping the case almost wont happen because of its size slimmer and smaller case..and decent looking..i like the ability of g-shocks but i dont like its sizes..too big specially to those who have small wrists..and specially the durability of nato straps is far more durable that this resin straps and nato strap can be changed easily..
Enjoyed your review!
Thanks, Chris! I appreciate it. 👍
I think all polished steel will scratch easily. I have a Glycine and I just used s soft cloth to buff out fingerprints, and instead I created tiny little scratches from the soft cloth. :(.
That's a bummer. You can use some cape cod cloth to remove light scratches. Works like a charm.
@@halfpastblog Thanks for your reply..
It looks like we have very similar taste in watches.....
You must have great taste! 😁
I have the original black/white one, can’t take the thing off!
Awesome to hear!
GS IS a field watch. Most used watch outdoors by professionals, astronauts and military.
does it have an 🧭?
@@guardion2394 G Shock GG 1000 have a compass, barometer, and altimeter if you interested in that feature
yeah but not all professionals and military used gshock because of its size..some of them still uses traditional vintage field watches which is much more smaller and still durable..
Nice .This colour is never in stock so playing a waiting game .P.s I own a Defender II and it hacks and hand winds .
That it does. They look good too. 👍 👍 👍
Did yer get yer one?
good approach to telling us st about your watches-your voice is calming, as if ensuring that at least during your narration nothing bad happens to us in this crazy -now quite weird and very often dangerous world...thanks!
Hey. Thanks for watching and thanks for writing. I'm glad that you found my video calming. We have enough to worry about right now and watch videos should be a fun escape. 👍
Good
Got the Black, but can't read it. Looking to replace with this 'Utility'. Thanks
That's exactly what I did!
planning to buy the all black end up buying this colorways due to out of stock
I know the BB is popular but I couldn't read mine at dusk. You may have been forced into a better choice.
Outdoors with no crutches? ？？ EDIT: This is a really good review.
Thanks, Dave! 👍 👍
Ya... I was supposed to be in a walking boot or at least have my cane... But I'm stubborn (and a little stupid) 😉
You can put a donut in that tin. Just 1 though.
This will be a mod hog. That's why Casio gave it quick release. You can mod anything on this watch. And Casio knows it.
Fun video! What’s that Bulova field watch model?
Thanks very much! I had to go back and watch the video to check. 😂. It is the Bulova Military UHF 42mm. I don't recall the ref but it will show up in a Google search. Very hard to find nowadays.
Hey! You may have mentioned it and I missed it, but what size wrist do you have? I have a larger wrist and worries the strap my turn down too much. Most reviewers have tiny wrists 😂
Hey. I feel your pain. I definitely have one of the larger wrists in the CZcams reviewer universe coming in at 8.5 inches.
@@halfpastblog nice! I’m a hair under 8, and it looks great on your wrist. Thanks!
@@CanttReed These would fit you perfectly! They are kinda magically sized in that all sizes seem to be able to pull it off. Just wait a couple weeks to pull the trigger because they are launching a solar and Bluetooth version that is not much more money.
@@halfpastblog awesome! I really appreciate your replies. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Hey! Love your Casioak
I have the stealth one since 5 days.
Seems like you are the only one with a real men's wrist size...what is yours? I have 7.8 and I'm not fat... Just bones but nice to see that's yours is bigger too and it's really nice fitting for you
Hey and thanks for watching. Mine is just over 8 inches. Depends how much salt I've eaten that day. 😉. The Casioak fits me perfectly. 👍 👍
Is this one suitable for smaller wrists as well?
I think so, within reason. So long as the lug to lug doesn't hang over you are good.
Yes .i have a small ish wrist and do not like large watches.
it is
I have 6.5 inch wrist, wear very well
Great video. This channel needs more subs
You are far too kind but I like the way you think. 😉😁
You accidentally put this under your wife watch reviews playlist
Thanks! I will make the change.
After changing the battery will it be still water resistant ??
If you carefully remove the caseback, ensure the seal isn't damaged, and lubricate the seal if needed and then carefully replace the caseback it will be just fine. 👍
@@halfpastblog Thank you for your suggestion, but we still shouldn't be dealing with these in 2020. I think it should have 10 years of battery life or Solar panel or the watch's battery should be positioned outside the watch, like swatch watches.
I have owned many shocks for years and never had a problem replacing the battery and maintaining water resistance.
Actually most G Shocks have a resin case instead of a steel one. Nothing new there. In fact not so many have a steel case anymore.
I must not have been clear. I was referring to the interior metal cage incorporated into the case. 👍
@@halfpastblog Even that is nothing new.
@@MrPleers sorry. What isn't new?
Maybe you should try diver watches. U are obsessed.
LOL. You may be right! In fact I just purchased a Seiko Monster. 😉
Omg I paid 226$ on ebay :(
Ah that sucks. Sorry man.
I bought one off the Casio website a week ago in the UK and paid £110, about 135 $.
