Casio GA-2100 vs GA-B2100 🥊 CasiOak Comparison - What Has Changed? 👀 Best Solar Bluetooth G-Shock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- The new Casio G-Shock GA-B2100 brings Tough Solar, Bluetooth, and a few other features to the ever popular G-Shock GA-2100 model. The GA-2100 is no slouch however, and even though it's been out for a couple of years, it's still a highly desirable and functional watch. They both bring the style and tough build that the G-Shock lineup is known for, but what exactly have they changed? In this video I go over how the models vary, and what is the same on both builds. The Bluetooth and Tough Solar are great additions, but are they enough to make you desire an upgrade?

Upgrade the retro look you love with the octagonal GA-2100 line, which inherits the design concept of the very first G-SHOCK, but now with Smartphone Link and Tough Solar power.
➡️ While maintaining the iconic octagonal form of the GA-2100 inherited from the very first G-SHOCK, the GA-B2100 now also has Smartphone Link and Tough Solar power capabilities. It also employs the Carbon Core Guard structure to preserve a similar fit on the wrist as the original model.

Huge improvement but I do prefer the day of the week indicator instead of mode indicator
not myself but I’ve heard from others that feel the same way you do
Fully agreed! I think the previous model is better in this sense. You should not have to press a button to see day of the week, day and month. In this new version, these 3 infos cannot be seen together.
@@lucianofantin You can set Day in the digital display for always on
Who in modern world does not know the Day of the week? Date is needed but week of the Day has become pretty useless
@@yesterdaystech86since retiring, I have no idea what day of the week it is! Got to have it on my watch
OMG, a detailed showing of the differences. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what an elaborate and detailed review! Thanks 😊
Thank you! 😁
A huge improvement from the old model. The positive display alone is a great changed.
I totally agree, I would only recommend the positive display myself
Gonna get mine soon too.
Both old and new models have both positive and negative
excellent review/comparison thank you very much.
Thanks for this video, I've just got the yellow one and it was driving me nuts than I couldn't get MON, TUE, WED etc. Up on the display via the app. Thanks for showing how.
Glad I could help!
Great review !
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, subscribed!!
Awesome, thank you!
Good vid!!
Thanks for the video, Pete, you did a great job here.
I am hugely disappointed that the new model cannot show the date and the day of the week at the same time. Casio is doing this on quite a few models which is silly. Users tend to know what month it is, what we need to check now and again is the date and the day of the week. Oh well, one less watch to ponder buying :)
Thanks again,
Zs
thanks for watching!
Assez de défaults; petit displey qui sert prèsque à rien ou le négatif est pire le positif minuscule, montre noire avec aiguille noire complètement ilisible mais attractif sur le poigné, la gris claire avec un displey positif est une sorte de compromis acceptable; la GA 2110..
Excellent vid
Thank you!
I own a few 2100’s and i love em. However, as a 50 year old man i definitely couldn’t pull off a bright yellow Gshock but i love the dial. It’s just so legible with old eyes. Great review by the way, many thanks.
it is a bright one for sure! thanks for watching :)
54 here… got myself the yellow one. Love it. And yes, pulling it off big time.
@@guillermosahuquillo4499 haha the man 👍👌
@@guillermosahuquillo4499 I'm 68 years old, & I am really digging that Yellow, too!!! We'll see!! I've been wanting another Seiko automatic (SRPE67). But... I may yet be swayed to buy my first G-Shock!!
I bought the Yellow!! 🍻👍 I've had it since January, and really enjoy it!
Other low-end watch reviewers should watch your video. They should learn how to 'get on with it' and quit being obnoxious. Good job!!!
I appreciate that thank you!
Sweet watch
Thanks for the review. Do they share the same bezel and band?
Yes I believe they do, people have told me that they have put the band and case of their old one on to the new one
Great comparison!
Based on this video I personally prefer the GA-2100. I like being able to see week days and date at the same time and generally I just find it more refined and to the point. I also find beauty in devices being unconnected and isolated from the outside world, just doing their own thing.
The reminders, time synch, solar charging and phone finder of the newer version seems very practical though.
Not crazy about the negative display especially when analog display is tiny.
I should be getting the new one soon in the mail and I’m kind of looking forward to actually being able to use it.
I believe the world time on the new one allows you to swap cities from digital to analog and back. Big plus.
Very nice explanation 👍 I am looking for GA-B2100-1A1 model is US version but I am not finding it there
Hmm eBay might be your best chance
@@sneakypetesproductreviews thank you
The yellow- 115€ in Germany
I'm glad I bought the old one because I need to use the timer for more than 2hrs
I do wish the black with positive display had white markers and not the grey. But overall the solar is the better option. Don’t miss the date wheel at all.
Agreed!
Totally agreed. Im so confused if i should go with the older one with the white markers or the newer one with tough solar. Any idea if we would be getting the newer once with more colours any time soon ?
I've been thinking this too! Im considering buying the ga-2100 instwad of the newer one purely because of this.
I bought the iridescent for the old model and I wish so badly that I could have gotten it with the tough solar but it isn't available.
that iridescent is so nice!
Cool watch. I wonder if you if the size difference translates to difficulty in modding the GA-B2100 with aftermarket parts made for the GA-2100?
people have said they’ve used the older mod parts on the new model but I haven’t tried myself
I’m curious too. I would to buy this one to use some oak modes.
Did you ever find out if they are inner changeable?
Hi, really hoping you can answer this. Is there anyway you Can you disable the Bluetooth from the watch? Sometimes can wear them in hospitals or when working on aircrafts
I'm pretty sure you can just straight turn it off, but you can find the manual online to verify
now i want a metal solar.
me too!
Well they both fit in the same Casioak mod kits
I kinda like the green one but the yellow looks so much more vibrant & unique
I like the green but I am not a huge negative display fan
@@sneakypetesproductreviews I agree I wished they made all the colors bright with the colored pointers and non negative display, really makes the rest of the colors look so dull, I'm mainly a mechanical watch collector but I love this series alot I only have 1 G-Shock as I try to avoid quartz due to the hassle of needing to replace the battery but this model is so cool and vestatile enough to pair with shirt & trousers even.
Is it possible to swap straps between these two? Or they don’t fit to each other?
The straps are interchangeable. I tested it.
hey, how much time does the battery last on the older version? How do you charge it?
You just change the battery out when it dies
show us the AVB
It’s a uniform, even roast 😎
On the G-Shock website it says 24h timer. You say 60min. Which is correct?
The GA-B2100 has a 60 minute timer
Few Questions:
1. When fully charged, how long will the battery last?
2. How long does it take to charge from dead to full?
3. How long will the solar battery last before it needs to be replaced? Can it be replaced? If so, how much does that cost?
Thanks for the great video. 👍
Thanks for watching! Sorry I just review them I don’t have this in depth info
Can you still swap with the metal bracelets?
They make accessories for both models yes you can
have you tried the jelly case on the new module?
like swapping the jelly from the old one onto the new one? I have not done that myself if that’s what you mean
@@sneakypetesproductreviews yes, exactly. swapping is so much fun, but I don't know how much compatibility between cases there is.
Also, in the original model, when you hold the LIGHT button and then quickly press the MODE button, you can move the hands away from the digital display. Same thing to have them return to their normal position. (it doesn't have to be a simultaneous press). does that work on the new model?
by the way, great and useful video!
@ thank you! yes it does that same function to move the hands out of the way on this new model :)
changing sub dial is stupid i want to know date & day at the same time
mode indicator should be in lcd like any other square
Is the newer version compatible with kits
I’ve never tried modding them myself
Can you put the new module in the old case?
sorry not positive about that
Yes
Unfortunately the yellow version is the only legible one of the new casiok. Would like another legible colorversion.
There is a black version with positive display too, the rest of the new version got a negative display.
@@danielizquierdo8181 It is not only about the digital display. It is about the analog dial, indices and hands.
GA 21110.. gris claire, displey positif.
Which one is better gab2100 or ga2100
I like the GA-B2100 myself
I have bought several GA-2100 to wear, mod and use as gifts and will pass on the B2100 because I just like the Day indicator better than the function indicator.
what is your favourite mod you've done?
@@sneakypetesproductreviews My favorite face is the SKE and then the silver / silver with the bracelet or black / silver with white and black rubber. I like to keep things simple. And yours?
I am yet to mod one of mine but definitely want to in the future
@@sneakypetesproductreviews Perfect, I look forward to your future videos!
YES! I love the day indicator also. Day/Date is a must for me and so, the 2100 is better in this!
I like the new one the best (sans the Bluetooth-logo). But what happens in 10 years when Casio decides not to support the app any longer...
tough to say
You don’t need to use the Bluetooth feature. You can set it manually as well
Whats the battery life like on both? I got to know even if we use the bluetooth like once in a while to configure the watch the battery lasts only 3-5 years
B2100 got solar power.
@@mactepbolsak161 bro what does that translate into in daily life. Plus in UAE it costs 212 US dollars is it worth it at that price point?
@@asad4310 Solar power watch = you put it into the sun or like a bright light and it will charge itself. Idk if it has any kinda battery, but if you wear the watch outside everyday it will always be full charge and run for a lifetime basically.
The GA-2100 is only battery and will last for like 2-5 years or so before you have to change battery.
I would say both of the watches in the video is 100% worth it. I don't own one but I am probably gonna buy the GA-2100.
I love the original, does it really need to be solar? Are we just complicating a simple watch? Have had loads of the non solar, stuck with the dark grey metallic skeleton, fab and definitely a future icon.
Great video ❤ subscribed
Thanks for watching!
Solar is great for places with a tropical climate. Totally no need for a batt change, unless the batt fails
I love solar but ridiculous decision with not showing the day of the week. Too bad.
It does show the day of the week if you want it to.
Do we need all those functions on a small phone I don’t think so
You can use as many or as few as you’d like, all are optional 🙂
@@sneakypetesproductreviews ok m8
The hands are the same. One is outlined in silver the other in black, hence the smaller look.
it’s possible
Sundial on the yellow watch should also show the day like the clear watch. It's stupid for it to move.between the modes. Really.dumb.
I prefer it myself but to each their own!
@maydaydevinci I agree with you I prefer the day of the week indicator over the mode indicator. It’s one of my favorite features of the old version that they just didn’t port over.
is it just me or is the face on the new one warped?
in what way do you mean warped?
When I look at my watch I want to know the time, date, and day of the week. This new 2100 fails! It does not display the day of the week without pressing a button.
Furthermore I don’t want Bluetooth on my Casio watch.
cool 👍🏻
What dot are we talking about? 2:15
Bar display vs dot display, look at the picture watches you’ll see the difference I mean
The subdial in new model is just a downgrade for me like just why ? Its percfect for day of the week why change it tho :(
I’m not sure I didn’t design the watch hehe
the light in the old model is way better
Disagree, new one is way brighter
Man it’s a mini torch
very bright!
Okay why my GA2100 neon blue series doesnt have that dot or bar display on the top of LCD ?
Tf am i just buying a fake Casio ?!!!
Could be 😳
Strap attachment is a shame on this model.
The noise?
Nah the red and blue writing ruins it
I like it
