Today we cover one of the most important Casio watches in the recent years! the GA-2000 Carbon Core. A model that signifies a switch from resin to Carbon as the base case material. The reason I think this particular model is so I important is because Casio shows they want to use this technology on entry level models as well, not just the high end offering, which makes me believe this will eventually replace resin completely.

I'm late to the G-Shock game but I've come to realize just how incredible they are 👍🏻👍🏻
same here bought my 1st watch in my 40's coz all those years I thought they were kids watches. Oh boy was I wrong.
@@powerslave6944 , I bought the same colour today from online, there is some details printed in the back like g2000, it's fake one?
@@anwinsyras234 I bought yellow as well and the back it only says Carbon Core Guard
@@powerslave6944 , so mine is fake? I bought it for 8000rs , but i got every paper work and international warrenty as well, can you find a fake one that looks exactly the same? I don't thing there is a fake one for this model
@@anwinsyras234 I dont know, you will be surprised how good the copies are to the real G-Shock right up to the details and even the warranty books. You should look up videos on CZcams on how to spot fake G-Shocks to make up your mind if your watch is the real one or not.
This is by far, the most beautiful and modern look G-Shock I've seen.
Don't want to hurt you but it's material is of cheap quality as its price is less.

@@hiteshsingla6082 Still tougher than your 5-figure Rolex, or whatever
@@hiteshsingla6082 I have this watch since 2 years now and it's still going strong, no battery replacement, been through abuse, trekking, mountaineering, swimming, workout, it fell off my balcony (2nd floor) while setting the alarm.
I'd definitely go for a durable $125 watch which is going to show the same time as a $50000 watch so why should I spend money on something which is gonna break apart in a Twitch?
Also, this is one of the most trendy sports watches out there.
I bought the blue two weeks ago in Las Vegas. It was on sale at Macy’s.
Soon as I had it in hand and felt the weight I was sold. I knew about most of the features already.
After I put it on I thought oh no! I want one of each color they had. ha ha.
But I still just bought the blue. I’d like to pickup the Army Green also. If you’re like me and a G Shock fan you’ll need a couple of these. I still look at it constantly when I wear it. So the purchase has really pleased me as a G Shock Junkie. My self imposed nickname.
Got mine a while ago; it's pretty sweet! It's a different direction for sure, but we'll see how it's accepted by fans. I like having the ability to swap straps more easily, especially if they go for a slightly more traditional look. As it is, it's a solid first offering in this new model range. One thing I REALLY love is the big, easy buttons. Far nicer to operate than the smaller-than-a-pencil-eraser buttons on a 5600.
Just bought navy blue version and I love them ...feels so good and can't stop looking at them 🤗
I have this in white, I'll have to admit, this gets more wrist time than my Breitlings and Omega.. I know! But it's just so beautiful and fits perfect on the wrist, they made this model with classic watch designs in thought: a tapered strap, round bezel, regular lugs etc. To me, this is my grail G-shock
I bought the black one as my first Gshock and first daily watch in 10 years. Love the shape and the band so much. Really strong too because I’m quite rough with it.
Just purchased this watch on Amazon after watching countless reviews. I have a nickel allergy and seeing the case back is resin was the main reason for getting it. Hopefully it works out. Thank you for the review.
I love G Shocks. I have 2 of them, and one, I've had since 10th grade of high school, and it's still on its FIRST battery!
Please change the battery.
If the battery starts to leak.. you are DEAD!!!
@@actually4660 lol
Changing the battery is good practice.
Funny thing is that depending on the colourway the hands are built differently: in this particular version 1A9 or in teal blue 1A2 the hands are hollow in the middle, but in E-4 colourway (the one with 3 straps in a set) hands are flat and covered with lume, which glows in the dark.
I really like the fact that this as an illuminated digital display for a lower priced G Shock and a countdown timer in which you can adjust the seconds too. This will be on my wishlist
I'm actually put off by the quick release strap. I work in quite a rough job and I find that when watches have been pulled on hard, the strap breaks at the springs. I use a GG1000 at the moment and it's never broke despite being in some testing situations. I think that's down to how secure the connection is.
i like how the colours match your channel colours 😃
Good catch, that's why I prefer this to the other variants 😄👍
I was lent the black one to set the hands for a hapless owner so I used your tutorial thanks. It feels well-made and expensive. The blue fade-out lume/white hands is effective. It’s not much more cost than a basic square but it’s in a different league. I thought it was a £250 watch.
Washing machine and dryer safe I put mine though a long wash the other day by mistake
Not a mark on it
Glad to hear you thoughts on this one. Look forward to more models in this line too.
It's soooo light I never feel it there. Unless I catch it on something. Great watch for an active life. Soo light.
I've just picked up the all black version and I'm nothing but impressed by it. It even fits my 6.5" wrist!
I have the white GA2000 which is the only one with a positive display, I have 4 different coloured 24mm quick release Barton Bands soft silicone straps in different colours, it's like having 4 different watches
Four years later, still a great watch. I bought one recently. Love it.
Bought this one yesterday, very nice for summertime!cheap,light, I like it.
just bought mine as well. Although not solar, it's a great piece and has decent battery life.
Nice review! I like how you have a separate review on how to use this watch. Much better and easier to follow as compared to the text manual. I'm definitely buying this watch in the coming weeks. This will be my first G-Shock, but probably not my last! Would like to have seen a few different straps swapped out for comparison.
I hope we get a carbon core all digital this year. The G Squads and the DW 291 have very clean lines too which also makes me excited for future releases from Casio.
Got the military green one just yesterday! :D Love it!
How is the light?
I got it today. Awesome!
@@ZeidGho the lights on the display are pretty good if you set it to 3 seconds, the led light isn't the best in my opinion but it doesn't matter too much since the hands are glow in the dark, on my model anyway, not all of them are glow in the dark
I’ve never cared for G-Shock but this one definitely caught my eye. That black and yellow is spectacular
Needs tough solar...or at least a five year battery.. I had thought part of the original G-shock criteria was a 10 year battery. this has a "3 year battery"
And a positive display....Negative displays are SO hard to read..CASIO please enough with negative displays!!!
I agree completely. Solar is a great feature
Or better yet, provide subpanel lcds with illumination.
Some people like myself prefer the negative displays. They should offer both displays as a choice though
Im waiting for that GAS-2000 or GAW-2000 right now..
You should check on models with STN tech, even so readable even in negative models
One of the most enjoyable and quality review ever seen on any watches. Thanks for your great work!
The GWN Q1000 has carbon fiber reinforced case since 2016.That was the first carbon reinforced case
I have a DW-9052 and now I'm wanting another G-shock but I'm wanting that mustang watch to no big surprise
I have been looking at this G -Shock watch for a while now...
However, I have been told that this watch is VERY difficult to set the correct time ..Could you tell me if this is correct?
Is this watch very difficult to set the exact time?
I like the "Seconds" to be correct also... once every two weeks I get all my watches and set the time to the EXACT time. Including the "Seconds" ...
Is this watch very easy to set the correct time... Kind regards Brian
Sir, is this watch worth buying
That looks really nice! I don't think I could be talked into getting rid of my GG1000 Mudmaster for this but that new strap does look tempting.
Why would you need to get rid off the GG-1000? have bith
Great review. Just picked up the army Green version. Love GShocks and these seem to be the best yet and not oversized like some of them can be.
Those are awesome colors. I especially like the quick release spring bars and flexible strap and easy-to-use buttons. Thank you.
I cant stop thinking Bumblebee when seeing this watch. This could be a great collaboration
Corny you are
I am going to check this model out! Thank you!
This is my first g-shock, i took it yesterday, green and black colour and i like it
Great watch and as always great review!... I guess this time the plastic buckle doesn’t matter too much anymore, because like you said, you can change the band with anything you like. But that’s still is something to bring on a table for further comments, if future G shocks will come with this easy to remove band design.
I purchased the same exact yellow 🟡 yesterday when I was thinking of buying another G model watch but seeing this watch newly displayed and looking so different than the usual steel back plate G that we used to normally see makes me think of acquiring it. In the end I bought both the watch that I came to buy with this GA2000. And I can't say I was none too happy with my swift decision.
Man.... I am liking the looks of this G-Shock. The color combo is nice... It's kind of Breitling-ish. Also i luv that there is no seconds hand, instead it is a digital display. After wearing mechanical watches, i just don't like the seconds hand ticking on quartz watches.
You're absolutely on point. As a Breitling enthusiast that owns at least a couple i found this to be my grail G because of those similarities. If not mechanical, i definately lean towards G-shocks.
I love the look of this new G-Shock model! Great reviews, I watch all the time.
Thanks for watching 😁
I ordered the 2110 in all yellow.. can't wait for it to arrive.. just in time for summer use.. Now if I can just set the dam time and date ;)
I'm still following your directions for my solar G Shock and still no luck ;)
Got this on my birthday this year, literally my first G-Shock and I'm loving it(GA2000s)❤️❤️❤️
Casio is a hell of a brand, very underestimated!
Did they ever make this model with solar and multi band six like you suggested?
what is the size of the changeable strap ? 22mm / 24mm / 26mm ?
24mm
I got this same exact watch because of this video
I am not very much impressed... No lume on the hands, poor backlight on the LCD displays, no date AND day display simultaneously... the mode dial is not very intuitive to see where it is at... At least it is lightweight , comfortable and rather affordable. But all in all, a step backwards in so many directions.
That said, a great video as always, and a huge thank you for that :)

Some of the colors have solid hands that actually do have lume. I have the blue version and the lume is fantastic on it. Also when you hit the light button the time and day displays do light up and are very readable.
@@canuck81 That is true, the full black one also has lume on its hands. I was talking about this specific version :)

Very good review!
Beautiful watch the GA2000 and I just got the GA2000HC-3A.
It's not all the time a Casio G-Shock comes out with a very nice color combination and especially in matte clear material.
So I bought two!! 🔥🤟✌🙌🤘👌👍😎
BTW. I may try to use NATO or ZULU straps on it as they are very easy to change.
I'm trying to decide between this (specific the ga-200 2a with the dark colored strap and the golden'like colors) and the gg1000 mudmaster. The later has indeed more functions however compass and thermometer are not of much use to me. Which one would you suggest?
I always say, go for the one you like the LOOK of more! Functions are something you'll play around with for the first couple weeks, and after that you'll just wear the watch as a timepiece
@@WatchGeek I very much like the looks of the ga-2000 2a. However i got a bit disheartened when you mentioned the lousy illumination. Thank you for the reply.
Excellent review. Very well done. Thank you.
I'm in if they come solar atomic! Keep the videos coming bro-ham!
Totally agree.
There is one. It just costs more. It’s the GWR-B1000. It’s got Multiband 6 and Tough Solar. It has a sapphire crystal too.
@@LanningKann I just saw this yesterday from his video!
I picked up this same color model a few days ago, and I love how comfortable it is. I can’t wait to see future carbon core models.
No solar feature, no deal. You don't want to keep going back to the Casio service centre to have the batteries changed and silicone re-sealed for waterproofing every 1.5 to 2 years. Their service centre charges an arm and a leg for it. But if you want to save money, get the batteries replaced by any other watch shop. However, it comes with a big downside. The waterproofing seal is gone and new silicone will not be applied. That is my lesson learnt from buying non-solar Casio watches.
Another great feature is also missing from this good-looking watch: bluetooth connectivity! Not every country has satellite for timekeeping synchronisation even if it has multi-band 6 (moreover this watch does not have). Automatic time adjustment using bluetooth connectivity with mobile phone is certainly more practical. Everyone has a mobile phone with the time synchronised with the telco. You don't want to keep manually calibrating the time every month or so to keep in accurate.
Therefore, no solar, no deal. No Bluetooth makes it even less compelling. I have since stopped buying Casio watches missing these two features.
Looks very comfortable!
It is
I love this watch
I have two of these, the white one and the blue.
On the blue one I find the neg display almost unusable - really wish Casio would not use these.
The white one however, has a positive display which is very useable despite being small. I've also found the white watch attracts a lot of comments and looks. Instead of an "in your face white", it's a subdued kind of pastel white. It looks superb in the flesh.
Blue one is now a beater as the neg displays are not worth a carrot imo.
I was wanting this watch until you showed the bad illumination. Hope they resolve that issue soon.
I bought this watch! Own 5 gshocks and this is so light and tough( all gshock is tough)
Impossible to check the time with the illumination on?
Very good review! Thank you 😊
Love the way when u say "so welcome to another watch geek video"☺️🤩
Love this. Agreed with all of your positives, with the big easy-to-push buttons being a big plus for me. I also love the rotating physical mode indicator - very cool. I've been wanting an analog smaller (for a G Shock) model, and this is almost exactly what I've been wanting. Negative LCD is my biggest gripe. I'm cool with no solar, *if* the battery swap is non-trivial. I'll need to research that.
Also, to second what you said in the review, I tried one at the mall today, and the straps made this watch fit me great. Smaller 6.5 inch wrists in my case.
Really cool. I do like the concept. Really sporty looking as well.
add on tough solar and you have a winner.
On the fence.... I don't need it, but the wavy marble version of this is stunning.
great video. its very informative
How does the size compare to the ggb100 mudmaster
When Is the solar one coming out?
Casio with carbon core a very nice design ...
I’m here because I just got myself one 👍🏻
Price?
CometFire2010 around $130 I think. If you’re in the UK it’s on amazon for about £85 on sale.
Waiting to be applied in any 5600 model, should be great
Yup my mind is made. I am getting this one.
Hello can you tell me if this watch as the auto light function on it please when you move your wrist please
I do like how the strap does wrap more around your wrist. Lightning does need to be more brighter though. I couldn't hardly see the face. Do the hands luminate from the light?
Nope they don't
I jus like the watch colour, it not only suits Ur channel colour but also my favourite Cricket club team CSK !!
I would love to see this watch in color orange trim.....
Thanks for the info! please keep us posted on this line..
Thanks for the review on this watch. I decided to go with gbd 800uc for my first G shock watch. Gxw56bb or gx55bb will be next. 😀
Congrats
I already buy it... N yes i love it so much.. It's really a watch for everyone..... ❤❤❤
While this watch looks really good, i kinda like the old straps, they are a part of the G shock character to me
that may be true, but the old design strap makes the gshock looks cheap..
Which one's better? Ga 2000 or GA 900
Is resin plastic ? My understanding was that Polyurethane shares the best characteristics of plastic and rubber. I am not sure though. Thanks for the video.
I was referring to the inner case that is glass fiber reinforced plastic, the outer "rubbery" resin is the same on this as on the old ones
My ga 2000 suddenly shut down. I just put back into the box and leave for 2 months but when i check while ago, its turnoff already. Any idea about the issue?
I want to buy this watch in the next few days.BUT! I worry a lot about the water resistant.I need this watch for fishing and for swimming.
Does G-shock's have ISO sertification or not?Pls can you explain me with couple of words about their water reliability for swimming?
Every Gshock is 200m or 20bar water resistant and is more than suitable for swimming and diving.
In fact most divers I know wear Gshocks diving and wear expensive dive watches when not in the water :)
So you are more than ok to wear it swimming and fishing
Can I know the other G Shock Model that has the same size to this model or at least has a similar size to this model
Just purchased this watch and loving it 😀
Can i use any 24mm bands? Or just a specific one?
I love it! thanks for the review man
I hope there'll be much color on that type
Is it suitable to use while doing heavy work?
Is a mid size g shock? Is also for small wrists?
I can not wait for the 5600 series Carbon Core with atomic/solar
Me too
YES!! a next gen GW-S5600-1JF !!!!
I think the plastic buckle fits the style better.
All your videos is simple useful, to all g shock lovers.
This is great news, now one can switch between resin bands and steel/titanium bands for different occasions!
I have this one!
I want this but its little out of my budget😫
im about to take this one, but change my mind and taking gd-400-3dr because i like the green color more. hope im not making a mistake 😅
How do you do the afterglow thing? It's listed on the features
