Casio just released a new transparent lineup of their most popular analog-digital models including the Casioak GA2100SKE-7A and DW5600SKE-7. These new skeleton watches sport see-through transparent bezels and bands.
The GA2100SKE-7A has an updated dial with new hands, indices, and greater legibility which is fantastic. These two watches are a lot of fun to wear but you're going to pay a premium for them if you purchase from Ebay. Let's take a quick look at both of these watches and see what you think.

I've been looking forward to seeing these. Thanks for showing them off. 👍
Glad you like them!
This is one of the best gshock review channels on UA-cam. Keep em coming sir 👍
I just purchased the DW-5600ske-7, brand new on eBay for $55 plus tax with free shipping. I feel lucky to have found it for such a great price. Literally half of the cost of the Casio website for the same watch. I’m excited to get it, as it’s my very first G-Shock watch, ever!…I may end up modding it with a metal bezel, not quite sure yet. It’ll also be the first quartz digital watch in my watch collection. Everything else I own is either mechanical, mecha-quartz, or quartz analog. I’m thrilled to finally add a G-Shock to my collection….great unboxing, btw. Thanks again!
This looks like a must have i already been a fan of the translucent case and band since I was a kid I have a jelly swatch watch its all see through casio always hits a home run for me
Totally loved em, gonna buy GA2100SKE
Thank you, I now know the watch I want. Best Regards from Spain
I know I'm late with this one but great video mate, new subscriber here.
Just subscribed, good content keep going harder
Dude, that stainless steel watch with red gel band “ROCKS!” 🧔🏾♂️👍🏾😀👍🏾
My guess it the plastic will go all yellow after a while.
that red grey combo is godly
Looking forward to your next video, it's been a while
Good god, that skeleton 2100 is just so mint. An absolute beaut. I'm not super financially sound right now, but I'm definitely feeling FOMO for not just going for it, and there's not a frozen chance in hell I'll be able to buy one without insane markup now.
Wearing it now.. worth every cent. Absolutely spectacular
$60-80 now
Got the GA2100SKE, absolutely love it. Gotta agree with you, legibility is fantastic.
Nice! I'm loving it so far.
does the strap turn yellow after a while like other silicon materials ?
@@adityapareek5954 I’m sure it will. 2-3 years down the line depending on UV exposure
@@adityapareek5954 I have this exact question!
Hope you are OK, really enjoyed your videos and hope you'll be back with more!
Edit: just noted is it one year today since this (last) video.
Bought both of these and love them. I think I actually like the 5600 more, but they both look great.
How they doing so far? Any yellow aged look?
@@MARG509 So far they look fine, no yellowing.
@@MegaBlackley just got mine, is it normal that the "adjust button" is less responsive than the others?
Mine just arrived today and im in love with it! I did read that these watches should not yellow as Casio found a way to prevent that effect of aging resin but that is all forum talk so we will see!
I hope so!
Your results after 3 months?
@@Aufnikotin2 So after 3 months of wearing it pretty often I do notice an ever so slight tinge of aging around the case. It's difficult to see to the point that in certain lighting conditions you hardly notice at all but It's not quite as clear as it was the day I bought it. The strap on the other hand seems to be holding up better.
How does it hold up after 5months? Still looking good?
@@MrPostPUBG Im also interested to know!
Appreciate you reviewing them both..Kind a hard pick between these 2 as I find them both equally nice..considering i own the GA21001a1.
Nice black and white 👌 😍
Hey man, just found your channel, sorry to see you stopped making more videos. Hope you're well too! Cheers.
Thank you!
Is there a good way to clean the yellowing or will it just yellow and stay regardless?
On the watch that you are wearing, where did you get your custom bezel and strap from? And which exact model is the watch?
Very cool I'll buy one
Please advise, that little hand that points to the day, should it make a full circle or only toggle when you are adjusting it ? I think Mine is broken because it makes a full circle backwards & forwards. Thanks
I'm just waiting for him to say "this is YOUR daily dose of internet"
Awesome
... i want transparent one!
the straps turning yellow don’t matter to collectors because the watch will most likely only be used every now and then so it’ll be years before it yellows. Plus us collectors love changing bands around. 😉
Bullshit, just 2 years with It and its turned into fukin mustard yellow
@@cutorra96 You must be wearing it everyday then. I have 2 of these since they came out. Must be a least 6 months now & No sign of yellow.
@@cutorra96 depens on ur daily use dude. i wear the clear casio oak only on special occasion. also if u keep wearing it under sunlight that will cause ur clear bazzle turn yellow quickly. try to not expose ur watch under sunlight aka uv radiation and it would be fine
@@amirulhafidz5003 I thought they turn yellow because of the oils from the sweat that come out of your skin and seep into the band in which, over time, all that sweat accumulated turns the band yellow 🤔.
What I do is every time I wear my watches, when I get home, I immediately take them off, wipe off the bands thoroughly, and clean the bezel with a small soft microfiber cloth and then I store it in it's original box. I keep them in my closet until the next time I wear it. I've kept ALL my watches in MINT condition. Not a single micro scratch or anything. They all look bran new. My oldest watch that I've had for 7 years looks like I bought it today.
And those are the ones with the black resin band. I ONLY wear my white watches in the winter time.......as it's cold most of the time and I don't really sweat because it's cold.
I'm just so careful with my watches which is why I'm very concerned about purchasing a clear band watch such as these.
@@electron7659 skin oils don’t really interact with the watch bands. It’s UV light that turns them yellow.
Is it easy to change the battery?
I love the watch on your wrist any idea where to get the band?
Thanks! I pilfered it from another GShock. But you could definitely find something similar in Aliexpress.
Does the plastic turn yellow after a while?
Great! A type of content that would not get yellow with the time, at least for me. I missed the usual ambient music in the background. Is it reserved for more classic time pieces only?
Ha, no I removed the music. People were saying it was too distracting. Maybe it will make a reprise soon!
Why it wouldnt turn yellow though mate?
Saw your note about why you'd moved on from the channel. Totally understandable - you made some GREAT videos but they obviously took a lot of time and effort to put together. Thanks for the content, and good luck with your next project!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. And I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Means a lot 😃
@@WatchingCasio Meant every word. If you do anything else about watches in the future, please post an update on this channel!
I saw a video of someone dying it black could be cool to do after it starts to yellow I got mine today !
Light on the digital display is a different color and look when compared to the older GA2100, right?
Nope, it's the same display color and LED color.
will it turn yellow within time?
It got me worried that the last video was 5months ago then I saw your reply to one comment.
You should review GBD-200 and compare it with GBX-100 and GBD-100.
I got the third one you didn't get from the transparent white series. Are the squares generically more collectible? I'm new to g shock
Not at all! Although the GA2100 is a cult classic. The GA700 is a bit too big for me which is why I didn't pick it up.
I think I'll be getting the ga2000 myself. Really curious how that transparent bezel ends up looking.
Time will tell!
@@WatchingCasio i think all the clear ones will yellow over time.
Why is the 2100 the most popular? And why is it still sold out?
Love the fact theyre made in Thailand now! that 5600 would look amazing filled with mineral oil :)
Hmm would love to see what that would look like. Definitely not brave enough for an oil mod!
@@WatchingCasio its super simple :)
Cased in Thailand.
where was they made before, china?
@@steffenlze0178 yea
man i wish there was a baby g version of the casioak, or either just a similar "skeletonized" clear looking square G in the GMS or baby g smaller size. id dig it, and im sure many others would too.
There is one coming soon! A smaller Casioak will hit the market next month I believe. Check out g-central.com for the news.
@@WatchingCasio oh thats not bad actually. Pretty wearable at 46mm l2l. Thx!
How long will it take for the plastic to yellow? I’m looking at grabbing one for daily use. It wont be used for exercise since i have an Apple Watch so sweat wont really be an issue but I’m outside a lot
No idea. Supposedly they worked on the yellowing problem.
1. Casio Horoscope Hor-100w
2. Casio CGW50 - COSMO PHASE
3. Casio Moon Graph GMW-15
this is one of the first GA's that I didn't like at all. The original stealth black and earth tone grey are the two best!

I love my collection of various styles of Casio watches, but I cannot get my head around the transparent design....not for me, but I am sure they are popular as they are so different.
I like it but I know it will yellow probably in a year so it feels like more of a collectors watch
I have the grey casioak and I'm wondering if a skeleton case and strap would fit it 🤔
Yep, all the GA2100 straps are interchangable.
@@WatchingCasio I meant style wise :)
Oh haha. Yeah I bet it would look decent.
Can you do a review on Casio GPS versions? I’m trying to find one that works independent without a smartphone and good battery life. Was thinking about the GPRB1000.
I'd love to. Just a bit out of my price range right now.
Watching Casio, Dude where are you?
No new videos for 4 months now....that's wayyyyyy too long to wait for new content.
Hope you're ok????
Greetings from across the pond in good old blighty.
Dude ...you rock. I really appreciate it! I've got no time for more videos unfortunately. UA-cam just takes up too much time and honestly there's not much return except for the love of doing it. I still love Casio watches and am still a fan! This year was packed. Got COVID, had another kid, full time job, other biz opportunities, etc. It's nuts :) I do miss it...but having to spend a whole day writing scripts, testing watches, shooting video, editing, voiceovers, graphics, promotion, etc. just takes way too long.
@@WatchingCasio Hey Dude you rock!
Thanks for the update, You sound very busy. Covid knocks you about a bit and a new born with full time work is gonna drain your time so I totally understand.
I watch other youtubers and have picked up on the fact that doing videos is very time consuming with editing taking up most of the time. Some content makers have to employ editors so they can concentrate on making content some only make 1 video a week although UA-cam wants them to make at least 3 which is fine if you don't have a life!
Like you I love Casio amongst other watches and I must say it was because of your channel strap line banner with the GW7900 in rescue red (never saw one before) that inspired me to buy one so thank you for that.
I also like the fact you delved in to past models as well as current ones which are not always featured on other channels and slip under the radar.
Never say never maybe do less production and just shoot it raw 1 or 2 takes job done?
I will miss your Casio Content and can not think of a better Casio channel than yours.
Thanks again and I wish you and your family all the very best!
Greetings from across the pond in good old blighty.
@@timwillocks4695 Thanks so much! It's comments like your that kept me going all this time. And yeah when I first heard that I should be making 3 videos per week I felt a little defeated honestly. That's like a full time job. I've thought about doing less production and making quick videos about new watches, so you never know. But I don't regret it and have learned so much throughout the process. If the money was better I would even consider doing it full time, but here we are. Thanks again and I really do appreciate it!
It's been 3 years... Why aren't you uploading..?
does the strap turn yellow after a while like other silicon materials ?
Probably.
My boss just sold me one for 50 bucks, learning about it now
Puoi dirmi quell fantastico cinturino rosso dove l hai preso ? Grazie

How do these age? I do a lot of cleaning at work and wonder if it will yellow over time?
Time will tell! I read somewhere online that they mitigated the yellowing but we'll see.
I rly wanted to buy one of these but I decided not to coz I think theyll start to yellow after a lot use
No for me I'll stick with my Stealth Black OG ...Great review as always mate!!!
Thanks!
About to buy the Stealth Black.. How is it?
@@erel7 Can't go wrong. Excellent watch.
@@erel7 Love it mate!
I bought a DW5600ske last year October and now it turns slightly yellowish already. Kinda regretting that I bought it.
Watching casio, I own the skeleton 2100 and noticed the clear resin seems a bit different than others.. will this yellow over time? Someone mentioned that the compound is different now and won’t.
I know you mentioned here it should yellow..something feels different about this one..
What do you think?
Well that would be a nice surprise if they can mitigate that! I honestly don't know. I guess time will tell. Even if it happens you can take the module out and use another band or bracelet.
How long do you think it will take to start yellowing?
2 months
Tun tundun tun tun... Tunnn... Tun tudun tudun ...
Are they will get yellowing through times?
Probably.
What is the model which you are wearing ?
It's the DWE-5600SK. It has a mirrored dial and came with a transparent band and bezel. I replaced the bezel with a stainless steel aftermarket one, and slipped on a red transparent band to make it pop.
will these transparent straps turn yellow over time?
The old ones do, not sure about these newer ones. Tine will tell.
@@WatchingCasio don’t the new ones have a protection coating ?
👍🇪🇦🇨🇴⌚ gracias.
Can you review the king xl. It’s gx56bb I think
I usually don't go for the larger watches because they don't fit my wrist. But you never know! I've done big watch reviews before.
@@WatchingCasio dooooo ittttttt haha
Anyway not sure why the price for these clears are going up to 200 I honestly quite hate the look. Tbh the best two color ways they’ve released was the yellow japan exclusive and the grey version
I got the red one😳 its something about the red one that made me buy it and i usually dont wear loud watches
Nice! Yeah that's a loud one haha.
going swimming with the clear one is annoying because water gets in the clear case and stays there, have yo remove four screws and clean yhe water out
Well crap. Haha.
Both Still available btw guys
I'm confused 😂🙈, i don't konw if i liked them or not.
They remind me Sonny from "I, Robot" - semi-transparent cover, and dark core & joints.
Both
We gonna make you like it😠💪
Why this channel has not been active
Is there any difference in this and GA2100-SKE-7AER?
I think the 7AER is just the UK verison
I think you're right.
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html
I like the new dial, but not the transparent strap and bezel.. I will change the strap and the bezel with the black one and then its the perfekt g shock GA 2100 for me
Why not go for the all black one instead?
@@NoelCrisostomo Because it's too dark and I like the small white details of the skeleton, the perfect dial for me
when will this product be available in india?
No idea.
Wow. I just want 1 . 😅
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html
Dude the straps turns yellow with time
So would this plastic/resin yellow or stain after long term? i'd like to see a follow-up long term review!
Hopefully not. I'll keep you guys posted :)
obviously will turn yellow ish
Casio supposedly fixed the yellowing issue with their clear resin bands. They aren’t supposed to yellow like other brands clear bands do. I guess those of us who own these watches, will find out soon enough.
Really miss your content
Hope your well my friend
Thank you, kindly. I really do appreciate it!
@@WatchingCasio not sure if you saw the a171 casio release...nobody really talking about them...I think they are really interesting....a circular f91 . Hope your keeping well...have a good week
@@brianfromireland I did! There are actually quite a few excellent Casio models coming out this month. Should be fun.
Any chance you will release a Christmas special vid for your die hard fans 😂, with the original intro 😂 just wondering I’d you have another channel? Your channel was one of the reasons why I started collecting casios , hope your well
Ugh still no lume on the indices. My guess is G-SHOCK gonna release even more of these without lume, once they reach 50 mil in sales they’ll release ones with lume so everybody who bought the originals will need to redown and buy even more G-SHOCKs woowooo
where did you go man? I miss you :(
Thank you for the kind words! I've moved on to more profitable business ventures. I absolutely love Casio watches but the researching, watch buying, script writing, video shooting, video editing, and graphics work was almost a full time job and was taking up way too much time in my life and stopping me from doing other things. I'm still around but won't be actively reviewing new models. Which is kind of shame because Casio has some cool stuff being released. I wish you the best! And thanks a ton for enjoying my videos.
@@WatchingCasio I totally understand man, i hope you find a great work life balance and I will always think of your channel fondly!
Will these eventually yellow?
Probably.
Transparent models look great at the start but will start to yellow over time....
I think the newer models don’t yellow
It doesn't matter that the strape turns yellow. Is kind of a patina. Most of the time it turns yellow due to sunscreen etc.
Are you okay? You haven't uploaded in a year now, hope you're well
Thanks for checking in! Yeah I stopped making videos. I have a post in the community section if you want to read about it. Just don't really have the time anymore to do it unfortunately!
Will they get yellow like phone covers ?
Probably haha.
The only thing that stops me from buying this skeleton model is that the transparent resin will become yellow with time and that will ruin the look of the watch. That's ammmm not right in my opinion.
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html
Supposedly they worked on that. Time will tell.
Today nobody have a problem with the yellowing?
The GA2100 hype and constantly being sold out is annoying. I understand the marketing tactic of short ordering these but they are mostly going to aftermarket overpricing.
Ridiculous that they limit some of these models for seemingly no good reason.
@@WatchingCasio unrelated question because you are a mass guy. Do you have issues connecting to the atomic clock? I have a solar wave that I can’t get to connect to save my life.
It's always a struggle. I usually put my atomic watches on the windowsill of a West facing window overnight. Some also connect from a southern window. Rarely do they connect if not on a sill. Sometimes I'm surprised that they connect overnight while on my wrist. Kind of a pain!
@@WatchingCasio thank you. That difficulty makes me not want to pay the “premium” for multi band solar models. However, the Bluetooth function on these watches does keep time synced nicely.
Yeah Bluetooth is nice. I still love the multi band 6 models though even if they occasionally fail.
Jellyfish
They are called jellyfishes aren't they?
Make creme ob your hands
LOL sorry
What happened
Negative displays are awful to read
Im selling the 5600 95$ who wants to buy it?
all these watches are going to age and turn yellow like most tranparent plastic/rubber resin items do. even worse in the sun
I love my Casio’s & G Shocks but no this does absolutely nothing for me. Stealth black is a better model. 👎🏻
