This Watch Broke The Internet… | The G-Shock Casioak GA-2100 & GMA-S2100

- In 2020, Casio released a brand new range of G-Shock watches called the GA 2100 Octagon Series. This new collection kept many familiar G-Shock traits, but in many ways, this collection was Casio exploring new ground with the G Shock name.
A thinner profile, a new 8 sided bezel design, a digital time display with analogue hands and of course a seamless transition from case to rubber strap - no wonder this new series of watches quickly became celebrated. As popularity around this new range grew, comparisons started to be made to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak thanks to its 8 sided bezel and integrated bracelet style design.
It wasn’t long until this new G-Shock started being called the ‘CasiOak’, a nickname coined by Scottish Watches and Steven Davila.

I think the fact that it’s 100 bucks is the key to its success
Yes! Unbelievable price at $99. It is my go to 3-4 times a week. I have the black with rose gold tone markers. Love it.
@@LaskMaestro it’s my daily…
In my country uh metalic version costed like 200 dollars but its was metalic
@@laimejannister5627 You tried
@@LaskMaestro yes, $99 is unbelievable...
Gee, the internet seems to get broken a lot these days, perhaps we should be looking at an upgrade.
it's because all of our IT people are there dying their hair purple lol
😂I hate the “broke the internet” phrase. Didn’t break shit, and I didn’t hear about it until the video
Fear not, an upgrade is under way
@@rubberonasphalt and "gone viral"
web 2.0 real buggy yall
I am just amazed on how many watches Casio releases during one calendar year - wow! Thanks for the review :)
Japanese work ethic
I'm so glad they still offering so many choice to us when the watch market keep shrinking cause nowaday most of us only read time on our iphone.
Couldn't agree more with the new dimensions and I really do wish that they had more color options because all the other watches are too big or bulky. Currently wearing a Gshock Mischief edition even though it's a woman's watch the color scheme and dimensions were perfect for what I wanted
no one's gonna know 👌
My first G-shock, have been using this for a while now and loved it.🥰
Same to but mine was the white dial one. Did you have been changed the battery yet??
@@johantriadi7113 watch's functioning perfectly fine. So, haven't replaced the battery yet.
@@ahsanrazaar : hahah ive been changing the battery. Last month ago. The light is getting dim so i change the battery. I’ve been purchased it in 2021
I have the GMA S2100 - the "mini" that fits my 6.5 inch wrist perfectly. It has a perfect presence for me. I could not be happier. The larger Gshock Casioak felt too big for me to wear everyday. Also it would get in my way at work. As for mini that I have, and its market to appeal to the ladies, men should feel at home too. The black band/octagon bezel are very masculine. The rose gold markers and white hands pop when I glance to check the time. My only complaint is that I do have a hard time seeing the digital date. It is small and dark. I contribute that to my older eyes, lol. Loving my mini Casioak!
I actually have the same size wrist and felt the smaller one was too small, the normal seemed perfect. It might be because I have a rather flat wrist.
@@charles_1523 yea my wife didn't like it nor my sister. Feels cheaper with the rose gold nor the new colors. And the original casioak does not feel big at all on my wrist and I don't have a big wrist.
Yea that's a good watch, except the rose gold markers. That certainly compromises with the legibility and looks like a ladies watch. I don't understand why they couldn't have made the indices pure white.
Edit: I tried the GA2100 and DW-5600 at a store the other day and both are very reasonably sized for small wrists. Mine is 6.7 inches in circumference and both watches looked perfect on my wrist. In videos they look big but on small wrists they are perfect in reality.
can u share the link to the rose gold one? i cant find it
Might be similar to ap oak. But, feels perfect on the wirst with the 40mm dial. I have red color. Will surely buy a grey and black very soon. With all the design and features this model is here to stay.
Finally a watch where it’s difficult to tell the time.
It's my time. All others have to ask
I watched this videos and I was amazed how good video guality is.
Keep the good work!
As soon as this came out i wanted it, then got the the one with white numerals by mistake as the black was sold out, still absolutely love it!
Finally, I have purchased this time piece.
About that link you gave here for Watchgecko's not the real G-Shock - he clearly didn't read the manual entirely. You can actually see that in his comments section of his blog/review. This watch is good as it gets for analog G-Shocks.
That think looks badass from every damn angle. Piece of art
All I wear at the moment is G-Shock watches… most durable, reliable, masculine yet sleek looking watches on the market… GShock for the W 🤙🏾
Careful with the M word now, the anti sexist extremists would be trigerred. lol
@@paolosolcruz facts brother lmao… gotta tread softly now days
Easily THE best watches ever made
Same. My automatics are just gathering dust. They cost a small fortune and all they do is sit in my case for months and months. Welp.
@@paolosolcruz No one is getting offended by you calling the watch masculine lmao.
On a smaller wrist (6.5-6.75), I think colorways with contrasting bezels help shrink the watch. I got the earthtones in dark blue with gray putty/clay bezel and it really defines the size to the eyes. It doesn't look like 45mm on my wrist, more like 42.5-43.
I figured I would just get it because it's inexpensive. With a half expectation of wearing too large. But it works. Maybe not in every colour combo imo, but the Casioak can work on a sub 7 wrist. The bezel really conceals all surrounding bulk.
(G-Shocks and/or digital stuff aren't typically my cup of tea..these are just dope).
I'm happy to have found a God tier G-Shock that speaks to me. I'd always wanted to want one. It's fun, it's cheap, and it looks great! It's as close as I'll ever come to a smartwatch though 😁
I brought it for my mom, she liked the black one.
if she changes her mind and gives it to me, then I'm not sure if I'd wear it given my 6.75 inch wrist.
Thanks for this comment, I'm considering a barely used one for $45 in this color way and I have thinner wrists
@@karikaru Can't go wrong at that price. If only to experiment. If it's not for you, it's an easy sale, or give it to a friend or sibling.
the model is popular here in malaysia as well. model GA211O that have other colour variation and GM2100 that have a metal bezel, make it quite versatile in gshock community here to collect it. plus a royal guy here wear it too, so that does make it more popular. :)
Betoi...antara jam g shock yg terbaik.
I have one with black and rose gold markings. Put into a Royal Oak modified case and bracelet also in black and polished steel it looks incredible.
can you show a pic?
Picture please
I have 2 of these Gshocks, they are beautiful, and I love them.
Thanks guys. I brought my ga-2100 after watching this review. 👍
I replaced my Apple Watch with this exact watch. Best thing I ever did. I wear it daily and it’s awesome!
Wow. I did the same as my tech detox journey. I have never been happier
Especially having to charge it daily ughhhh. I do have an amazfit
.. lasts me 14 days
I am waiting to buy the watch that put the internet back together again.
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE GA 2100
Apologies if the question is for the wrong video. Now with the release of gmb 2100 (metal case and band) ... Would it be possible to swap out the case and strap of ga 2100 (resin strap and band) for the metal ones?
Proud owner of the black on black version!
Stayed on to actually see the Praktica and CZJ Tessar in the backdrop
love my GW-9400. glad to see g-shocks becoming more common.
I think G-shocks are always common. Their popularity never fade where I'm from and people still buying it
@@freedcrypto just goes to show how much of a solid watch they are then.
@@elliottsalt Yup, in fact I just recently bought myself one, the GST when a news came out saying Casio will be stopping production on the GST BSD line pretty soon.
I think I missed the broken internet event for this.
Awesome watch , Black looks stunning
Just got mine so far so good not to bad of a setup process either
I wish the S2100 came in the blue (and other colors) like the standard 2100. I would have gotten the smaller one, but after a month with the blue 2100, the size doesn't bother me at all, it's not noticeably larger-feeling than my trusty 5600E and is now my new never-take-it-off daily driver.
I am wearing this right now, and I love it
Every man should own a good watch. It is style and strength. I will buy one for my father
Love the G Shock line
Just ordered the IGNITE series, it’s this variation but red and black. My first G-Shock is on its way!
I had to wait 9 months to get mine (black on black) and I love it. Now wife has the Clear and RoseGold versions... She doesnt wear her smart watch anymore :)
Haha.. :D
got mine yesterday. I’m glad choosing 2100 😭
Love it looks like an AP and im thinking ordering 3 of them
Do you have 2 clones ?
Yeah I was just thinks that wtf lol
I was watching a lot of these review videos to see whether I should buy the GA2100. Like many others, I was conflicted - wait for the mini casioak to bring out more colours or go for the all-black, sexy af GA2100, but risk it being too chunky.
Just wanted to say for anyone reading this - I just got the GA2100 and it is not as big as I thought it'd be. It's actually very sleek and I am surprised as everywhere on the internet led me to believe that it would be this great monstrosity sitting on my wrist. Of course, if you are a lady or have very small wrists/hands, it may be worth looking at the mini casioak, but I don't have a particularly large wrist and it looks absolutely beautiful on my wrist!
and they just released the metal version of this , look pretty cool
I've had the original G-Shock since the 80s, and the plastic/rubber band didn't get too aged and brittle for almost 35 years. I'll buy the metal one for my son ASAP.
Hi can you give me link of this model please ? 🙏
@@veselinivanov7208 GM 2100
G-shock stands on 3x10s. 10bar (200m) water resist, 10m vertical drop resist, and 10 year battery. So it is 2 out of 3 if you use the LED to illuminate the dial when it's time to leave your lover.
"biggest watch in your collection", laughs in Mudmaster. Awesome video though
Wearing my all black model now! I love it! 😁
Have the clear and the all black, and they're incredible, love it. The best g shock.
Price is also Incredible
@@UnfunnyMan kitna hai
@@UnfunnyMan yeah. You're right. For that price, they're good quality and very nice looking watch.
How’s the yellowing on the clear?
@@gdwiggy clear at all. You just need to care the watch when you use it. Like remove the watch when you're going to wash your hands, and don't get soap at the watchband, or things like that, every time at night when I remove the watch I clean the watchband with a dry cloth. Because is different material. But mine is clear like new, but I don't use it every day, because I'm afraid the watch get yellow because the sun. That's why I get the black one, and that's the watch that I use all the time, the clear one I use a couple times.
still waiting for the solar version
Great video, very interesting. You can identify the GA-2100's manufacturing date through the serial number engraved on the back cover.
Can you explain how that works?
same here
Bullshit
Buying one on my birthday, next month. So hyped!
Bro the all black version is unusable unreadable i have it jus for style telling u
@@lucyfair9907 where’d you buy it
@@lucyfair9907 i just got it. It is so beautiful!
@@lucyfair9907 I got full black a bit hard to read 😭
You can make this watch look 5x as expensive by swapping out the resin strap for a metal one. I run a nylon strap with mine and it's super comfortable, lowers the footprint as well.
Where do you buy your straps?
The coolest cool watch in the history of cool watches!
I love mine, I have the all black, the all grey and the yellow variant.
That said I would like to see an upgraded model with solar and multi-band 6 👌🏻
I completely agree, it would be in my collection if they released this upgrade.
Yeah, my breakthrough into watches was Casio, with the Lineage Multiband series and later ProTrek and G-STEEL.
I love solar powered & Multiband (or Bluetooth or GPS). However, since those watches I've become a real watch snob and am intrigued with mechanical movements... the ticking seconds hand is just something that can't be unseen and has become somewhat of a turn-off. Now there are a few Quartz movements without a ticking second hand, the GA2100 is one of those watches that deals with that in an interesting manner (others might use no second indication at all, or use sweeping hand Quartz Seiko VH31). I have the black/white version and bought an original silicon case from the all stealth black one and used it on there. Also acquired the Skeleton version recently. They're cool watches! If they'd give it solar and multiband they'd really be impossible to beat.
These are collectable af. Have the red one, the grey one, had the clear one but sold it to save for one of the new metal ones coming out later.
@@JupiterTarts I hope they are planning to bring out a second release of the metal ones with a metal strap.
Where’d you buy it
Do you have to manually adjust the day of the week after each month?
Hi Gshock team! I recently bought my gshock 5611 GA-2100. While i was watching youtube videos on how to use it, i noticed that mine has no Serial Number at the back on the bottom part. Is this normal? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!
Hopefully there’ll be the smaller model gma s2100 in blackout soon. The standard size blackout just too big for my small wrist.
Idk if that black Casioak mini has rose gold indices, I love it and I’ll 100% buy one.
An analogue second hand would look good on the watch.
I have the transparent one and its soo cool. Reliable watches, definitely.
That's the one i feel like buying!
@@Godschild77786 i already have a black Gshock, so didn't wanna go for the same color again. It's very cool plus you can wear it with anything because it doesn't have a color 😅
@@Thanksforthefish Transparent it is then, thanks man!
the new metal one is mint
i have a gba400 gmix from the time it was launched should i look on buying this ?
I love my F91w and A158w
I am waiting for the solar power and screwed case back for the model.
My GA700 SE was an amazing purchase back in 2019, I will never regret it
I was looking at getting one for work. Thank you for the link on the watch sir. After reading it, i can not in good faith wear this model at work. I'm always banging my hands in scuffles, doorframes etc in my line of work. I'm afraid this would kill the watch.
It won't. I work in an environment similar to yourself, the watch is tough and hasn't missed a beat!
Its a gshock... if the impact is strong enough to kill the watch it'll probably break your hand too
I wear mine at work...I have the mini......it is my go to at work or play. I save my Hamilton watches for when I suit up.....
Literally the name of the watch is “G-*SHOCK* Protection”😄👍I imagine it’ll be aight😜thanks for your service and stay safe out there✌️🇺🇸🦅
bro it's a g shock, what the hell are you wearing currently thats tougher
God tier!
i have a gshock g8900-1cr i was wounderin how do i set the date on it i cant set the time back an hr
Is there a smaller dial size that’s not digital I need one for a small wrist
thankyou, i really thought these new GShocks look really cool
Casio seriously is the best company. They have the best watches AND best calculatora
Earned a sub.+like! Love it!
I want it smaller. 40mm would be incredible.
They do have a good light on them at night so would be good for anyone working underground
People do not have importance of time but watches have become more important for us. 😃
They now have the GM versions! 🤤
Looks really good
The darker one in S2100 body = perfection in the Beater's department. Let's wait.
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔ 👍
Its nice but I got the skeletonized 'crystal' variant and vastly prefer it to the black one.
this watch is really nice not sure if i should get the Addiesdive AD2030 or the all black casio g shock both amazing watches
Finally a watch for coal miners.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
if only they can afford
@@user-ho1vt8vz2l being a miner is well paid jobi think
@@purpul2399 Tears from the eyes of Singareni miners. 😂
This watch is great but hard to read, the gray hour marker one is more practical
Beautiful watch 🎉🎉
i blacked out the chrome buttons. looks awesome now
Jednostavan a opet prekrasan i funkcionalan sat.
G Shock used to mean something it wasn't just a brand name, it meant the watch was shock proof
Still does...
Mine is still shock proof.
I have a Mudmaster, and that thing is a 46mm wide
I now only prefer to wear it when I go hiking
They are more durable than needed for most. Even any model from the Protrek line ist super durable already. So no worries about resistance, unless your are a rock-climber or cave-diver.
I just found one on the street, no one around to claim it, one button seems to be stucked I guess from fallin or someone stepped over the watch, it can be fixed?
@@pepe7drum wow. I would keep it and baby it. Lucky guy. It will last you the rest of your life.
Got one , sold it because I couldn't see the digital display.
I would like them to reintroduce titanium edifice (10-20 Bar WR) but with bluetooth for displaying alarms and with option to control phone audio (volume, tracks).
My Internet still appears to be working just fine.
I got this watch for $77 and i wear it to work as a mail carrier. It is perfect especially cause my route is in the hood it doesnt look like something you want to steel like my Seiko 5.
my dream digital for my small wrist. . i am wearing fake gshock for now lol
Does it have date and day display?
I have this watch and it is soooo good
even billionnaire king in my country wear this show how epic g-shock is
wonderful watch 😍
Love at first sight
does 1a1 has automaticlight system??
Feels great to own one. 😊😇
This watch is Shit compared to square ones
this is so crazy-my internet is still working
Checked just now - Internet is working fine
"comparisons started to be make to the royal oak" i laughed
ok
I guess you haven't seen the case mod.
I wish they made it with a step counter. Anyone know the most comparable watch that has one. Love the look of the larger one with the darker hands.
There’s GBA-800 which looks great in all black and has step counter. The dial is a bit small though.
I cant ever see myself getting a smart watch. I bought a Garmin years ago and it lives in the drawer. This is all you need on your wrist.
