  • A review of the brand new G-Shock GA-2300 launched in April 2024. In this video, I review the GA-2300-8AER which is the variant with a light grey case and straps, black dial and orange hands. Other variants include the GA-2300-4AER (pink), GA-2300-7AER (white and grey) and GA-2300-1AER (black). The GA-2300 is an evolution of the original GA-2100 (nicknamed Casioak) first released in 2019. It's features include World Time, Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, 5 alarms and Super Illuminator backlight.

    I think they should have made the indices less stealthy. Perhaps matching the case color in this example.

Also I don't have Mb6 coverage so syncing my Mb6 needed some android automation and careful locating my watches. Non syncable watches like my first ga2100 get less use because of this... But I get why some people don't like BT.

      @@FroggleNL like I said multiband doesn't work where I live. So I have to use an app to emulate which while fun for a couple of watches at the same time is really annoying if I were to base my collection on mb6. I currently have like 14 watches that sync to my casio app so there you go. I guess that if you only have 1 or 2 watches then is not a big issue to reset the time every now and then (either manually or emulating the mb6 signal)
