Finally a full review of the most talked about G-Shock of 2019, the GA2100. Also known as Casio Royal Oak and AP G-Shock, The GA-2100 has gotten a lot of attention from people that are not into G-Shocks usually, and that is the result of a much cleaner and simpler design of this model. It looks a lot more serious, and less like a toy. I personally LOVE the design and love the size! The GA 2100 comes in more and more color variations meaning Casio is aware of it's success. Although I got this all black version that looks the coolest, if I were to buy again, I would got for the regular black and white, as the legibility on this is pretty poor for everyday wear!
Since the design is bound to become iconic, I REALLY REALLY wish Casio makes a METAL SHROUD AND BRACELET version as well, as that would be a true TOUGH AND AFFORDABLE ROYAL OAK G-Shock!!
I will also be posting a full tutorial on how to setup and use all the functions of the module 5611 that is in this watch so stay tuned...

@@WatchGeek thanks! 👍
I've had this watch for nearly two years now, got it a few weeks after it was released and I absolutely love it. Works and looks flawlessly.
Does this have the auto light feature ?
@@midodupak677 nope
Only thing I dislike is the negative display. Looks difficult as hell to read
Looks so nice
Does it have bluetooth for autotime or do you set it up manually?
I guess you could say simplicity is a form of beauty itself.
#HearHear This wristwatch definitely appeals very easily to anyone -- like me -- who's demand is irreducible minimum & it delivers what it claims to deliver! I like such a watch that is non-pretentious, & I find this one non-pretentious!
Being both the smallest and lightest G Shock I have makes the GA2100 my daily go to. It's so comfortable that there have been times when I have forgotten I even had it on.
The Royal Shock
casioak :)
I lile royal shock better then casio oak, also it’s rrally interesting this thing keeps better time then an ap lol
Shoack
Battle royale shocked
The wud be Prince Andrews and Epstein
This model as metal version with solar and Bluetooth will be a dream....
I‘m now ready do get my first G-Shock after tons of vintage watches with mechanical movements and my beloved Edifice EQB-500 it‘s time for a G-Shock...
The model I choose is the GBA-800 in the orange or yellow version as I want something bright as a beater in my truck...
G Shocks are too big for me normally. This one however, is not. Bought mine a couple of weeks ago and it’s not left my wrist. Great design.
Where'd you find one?
Jack Tyler I have quite thin wrists and I think this would be too big for me, however some baby-G models can be had blacked out or dark/tan and those fit me fine, so you should have no issues. But there are also several Casio JDM models that also work well for me, but I don't think they are sold outside Japan, at least I've never seen them.
Here 2Learn Casio website!
Will it be okay for a 5.18" wrist? Yes I'm that skinny 🤣
@@taniabiswas4222 my girlfriend wore it on her 15cm wrist and looked good. I have a 16.5cm wrist and I love it. Hope this helped!
I'm undecided on this one? Those extra features is what's holding me back! I'm spoiled on MB6, GPS, Bluetooth and solar!
Every serious watch collector MUST have a Casio in their collection.
I'm going to be a proud owner of this machine tomorrow, and I'm glad I could came across your video to confirmed my purchase with confidence.
Just like the 5600, they’ll build upon this foundation as well. Can’t wait until they do. Received the ga2100su-1a as a gift for my bday. Absolutely love it
Amazing g-shock. Added one more to my wishlist
I just got mine last Friday and tbh I can’t stop admiring it!!! It’s such a simple and good looking watch! Definitely worth it
Is the display to small while your working out or doing sport where you need the display?
@@dieser_._max7493 tbh the digi display is too small to be used as a workout watch
@@ahmadkhairihamzah9698 thank you, an information wich is very important for my decision
G shocks always looked like toys to me but this one looks really classy. One of the only g shocks I would actually wear. I might buy one
So true
Take back your statement . Its a crime
Did you ended up buying one!? 👀
@@leomedina5614 no. I want a black one but I can't get over how bad the negative screen is for readability
@@nobody2021 they have a positive display now for a all black one. Check the GA-B2100 they have the all stealth and a black with a positive display. They are also solar powered. Hopefully that helps
No matter how much my watch collection grows, this is still the watch I reach for the most every morning!
My red one arrived yesterday. Its got to be the most elegant Gshock out there
I randomly just stumbled across this video and whenever he said anything really good about the watch I just turn my arm over to look at mine and smile because I wear that exact watch daily
I like the narrator's ideas on the bezel, the brushed stainless steel
That design looks like an AP Royal Oak, which I love it!!!!!!
Turns out Casio did too
Think this might be my first “big boy” watch purchase. It’s relatively cheap as well.
Steel model = Audemars Piguet lawsuit ;)
U really think there would be a lawsuit lol? Look at invicta pro diver vs rolex sumbmariner
@@adamgiordano30 Look at AP versus Tommy Hilfiger.
@@adamgiordano30 maybe the diff between casio g-shock and invicta is that one is pure gold another one is pure shit.
I feel you but if they didn't sue Maruice Lacroix for the Aikon, or Bulova for their royal oak knock off, i think g shock is safe. I honestly cant believe Hilfiger/movado got sued for theirs
/dev/null 😂👊🏼
I am new to this style. I got the all red two days ago. I just love it.
I recently got a camouflage color version of this and it looks spectacular
Ive had my Mudmaster GG 1000 for the last 4 years and love it. Was recently looking at the Mudmaster GWG 1000 all in black, but financially I'll need to hold off on that for now but maybe this 2100 in all black may do the job till then.
Love at first sight. I will be saving some money to buy this watch!
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
I cannot get over this video and finally went to buy this watch
Beautiful. Ordering mines right now! Can’t wait!
I own a lot of gshocks. Mainly just always buy the military styled versions whenever a new one comes out. Majority are freaking overkill huge. I hate having to take it off just to put on my jacket, and not be able to bend my wrist all the way. Most have all sorts of features I never use. I really only use the time, temp, and compass when they have those features but aren’t needed. I prefer less functions. Less functions I feel make it a more reliable watch with less things to break. Def dig it, and how it’s not too thick.
Totally agree with you 💯
Can't wait to see the all steel version of this watch with slightly smaller dimensions 🔥
I believe it will shock the market!
Mohamed Alshaikh Is this certainly coming out?
@@eralec I'm not sure ., I hope so
On your tutorial I would like to see how the day of week indicator changes at midnight. It would be cool if it would snap from Sat to Sun but I'm sure it just does a smooth sweep.
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
If The Batman wears a watch....this is it
I am buying this watch because of this comment...
@@KalyanSreeramula wait...there's a gshock named "dark knight".
@@KalyanSreeramula LOL
@@KalyanSreeramula I bought this for 6070...:)
@@Doggmatic_ is it 5600BB?
Lots of info., easy to understand and the review of the watch was really good. Please do more. TQ
Thanks 😁👍
Just got it out if curiosity ... and absolutely love it ... Bang for buck is massive ... I love my high ends but this ....is brilliant .
wearing it as i'm watching this. love this watch
I am a big fan of casio watches and this is a must have! I wish i can have this one as a birthday gift! Nice video by the way! 👍
I've been watching it (this exact all-black variant) for some time and I finally pulled the trigger. I'm beginning to be a Casio collector now, it seems. Currently I have the DB-34H, EFA-131, GW-M5610B and now this one :D
Thanks you for such great content you make on your channel. Samo tako nastavi ;)
What would you recommend for a small to medium size wrist, this or the 5610?
@@denismocanu3854 It all depends on the taste and the occasion, I guess. I am wearing the 5610 on a daily basis and on some occasions I switch to the Oak. They are both very similar in size, so they should both fit your wrist. Good luck!
I have had g-shocks in the past but heck this is the first one that i truly like!
What a review! You nailed everything on this one.
Thanks 😊
Stealth and tactical!!! Beautiful!!! Very nice video!!!
I am a high horology watch collector and have been for 20 years. My guilty pleasure has also been been collecting G shocks during that time too. When the GA2100 was released I purchased one immediately. As I can not wear the majority of mine high end watches casually, this has not left my wrist most days. Absolutely love it. If they come out with a steel or gold version, I will definitely purchase it.
Man. If they made steel Iwould buy it in seconds.
@@RobertBeckk They got it and it's nice as well imo, not this model but another model but it's sexy af!! Check it: GST-B100D-1AER, i think this is gonna be my next watch. BUT i do loveee them automatic watches, and a skeleton watch is what i really love, so i gotta make a choice first though..
Say no more fam
Just a update. On release day i purchased the blue and green steel versions and brought the rose gold steel for the wife. Fantastic watches and so pleased with them
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I need accuracy like an atomic, I need a bit of flash, I need legibility,I need solar--bit of a hard sell for most looking for a gshock--there are other G’s That do it for me, although this offering is highly subtle And understated, I get it
Casio Oceanus meets your requirements
I have the same requirements as you. The new metal squares are the answer in my opinion...
I also need sapphire. Hard to find a watch with all the above. Even hard to find sapphire gshocks that aren't top tier models. I don't want my face getting scratched up.
Check out Citizen F900, especially the JDM versiom
I loved it. The design is great and it's not too big or bulky. It's simple. Most of all I was able to choose one in my favorite color
Just got a Casioak. I got the black version with the white hands and hour markers. It got here really quickly from Japan!!
That’s the one I wanted but they didn’t have it
Love that beat in your intro, who produced it?
The new color options are on the way, I will pick up one eventually.
Really? What color??
Black is way to go
Navy green with black bazel
Pretty cool watch actually... haven’t thought that about any watch in a good while. Most UA-cam watch guys make this mistake. Don’t show the watch exclusively in close up. Zoom out, let us see what it looks like at a distance. Not right up on it the entire time
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
I saw the piece with white indices in the window display , so how it didn't appeal to me. Maybe the black on black looks better.
I already have it. Awesome!
I wish that a slim, g-shock (replaceable outer parts) style, full digital, larger digit casio watch would come. Squares are cool but they could be slimmer a little bit and higher in screen ratio.
W800 and 217. Both great watches and pretty much as durable. Only downside is the crystal isn't protected by the bezel like on gshocks
Bought the Yellow one, Will sell it on once radio controlled/Solar is out.
How long till that happens?
The black bezel looks great on the yellow
@@dranzer2545 probably 5 years
It’s been sell RM 500++ in Malaysia currently because of short supply.🙃🙃
casio done it... they listened to the mass, awesome
This is my new beater. Great looking watch, just don’t expect to be able to see what time it is in anything but bright daylight!
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
I’m not sure when the grey color came out but it came yesterday and I’m so happy, I wish you could have featured it in the video. It has a similar aesthetic that would be provided by stainless steel even though it’s the carbon resin
Just a nice basic g shock like my dw5600bb and my ga100 really like this thing
Turns out the combi bracelet fits, but lug to lug or something creates a small gap between the 'endlink' and bezel. Casio need to make interchangables for this!
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
I bought red one and it was my first g shock idk if i have done the right decision but i dont like those big shock cuz i have a small wrist
Just got mine, the BW one, beautiful watch. Strap optins? As original of course, but how about Casio release adapters for Nato strap?
Metal finished GM2100 coming our way in August 2021!
I like two watchs you have GA 2100 , and the second is the best 5600bb 1 .
Looking forward to more positive digital display options. That’s the only thing keeping me from purchasing. Wonder when the solar option comes out.
Positive digital display version is out now. Ga 2100th 1a
I hope G-Shock develop another exclusive model of GA2100 with 42mm case diameter and put GPS Timekeeping inside
Hi! Is there a way to tell the difference between a GA-2100-1A (From USA) from the offshore ones, example GA-2100-1AJF? Thank you!
I'm really interested by this watch. Need to get one on my wrist and see how it feels...
Wow! the New Royal oak G shock!
I am not a fan of g shock but this one is really elegant, in give the impression that it cost more than its actual price.
G Shock DW5600 case has always reminded me of Nautilus 5711. Now they have their Royal Oak too :)
Davor Banovic I agree with you!! The GA-2100 is the Royal Oak of AP and the DW-5600 the Nautilus of PATEK PHILLIP all at a 10th of the price because as beautiful as they are, they are also very sensitive and a G-Shock is tough yet strong in everyway!!
Excellent watch.
So the only reason I like G-Shock is for the bulky design it also prevents the screen from scratching
Does it makes any sound when the hand go counter clockwise
Hi! @watchgeek can you make a video on what type of strap we can buy for this model ? all quick release straps are GA-2000 and not 2100 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I'm guessing Casio will be releasing new straps with 16mm lug width
I can't find this watch under 150 bucks. Casio definitely put up the price since sales started to go up. The 99 bucks said on the video is not true anymore. :( But still, fantastic watch!
£99 in uk
I have both blackout and red one and i really love them. The size is just right to my wrist and it is lightweight too. Really nice looking and comfortable watch
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
That would have been cool to have a tide reader instead of days of the week.
Very nice watch, aggree 100%, they have to give us the advantage of changing straps with different shape and material than the cheap plastic of Casio provide,but after the price will go to the sky,cheers man.
ua-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/v-deo.html G Shock
Just got the black&white version today, looks awesome! It is very light, it looks like it would be a heavy, bulky watch, but you can barely tell it's on your wrist. Well done Casio!
That would be the variant I would go for
where did u get it from?
@@jaybhanushali7115 Amazon
yiiiiizzz the video i waiting for!!!
I appreciate why people like G Shocks, but they have never, not once made me even think about reaching into my pocket. This one however looks great and for the money, I can't see why anyone wouldn't want one of these. If they ever put out a stainless version as you mentioned I'm sure sales would absolutely rocket.
I think I'm about to buy my first G Shock!
I think a stainless version would defeat the purpose, as it would no longer be shock resistant. Would look really cool though 😎
It really is the design. I’m not a fan of G Shock watches generally even though I have a huge wrist and don’t mind a bigger bulkier watch but I just don’t like the style of G Shocks. This 1 I will be picking up it looks fantastic
Thinking of picking this up. Could someone tell me if the bezel and band scratch easily? I know the face is mineral so I plan to a buy a protector for that. Thanks.
Is it possible to have the day of the mounth in the display instead of the time?
Hey bud, can you do a video on tough watches???
My thing for analog watches 🤤 I wish the GA700's digital display also lights up. Great reviews, so glad I found your channel.
This one looks similar to the GA800, which I also like 🤤
Now that the steel variant of the 2100 is out, are you going to buy one?
I thought this looked cool until I learned about the MTG and MR-G lines of gshock. Although this one is quite a bit more affordable than those 😂
Here in canada there is a shop call the bay, it was 30% off, then i had second thoughts then the next day finally decided to buy it, but it was sold 😢
Never found one. Bought it on ebay...
where do you live? I am looking for this..
The Johor sultan wore this that why the price rise like the Justin Bieber one
Excellent Reviews.
I need advice,
I am seeking following options,
DIGITAL & ANALOG,
SOLAR TOUGH,
ATOMIC TIME SYNCHRONIZATION,
PEDOMETER,
+ more, in 1 G shock.
Dial made of black hard carbon or raisins.
Thanks
There is no such model currently as far as I know, pedometer is only available on a couple of models and they are all regular battery powered
Thanks for the awesome review! I am wondering what aspect ratio did you shoot this video in?
I think it's the regular 16:9
@@WatchGeek oh yeah dude try uploading your next video in the 2:1 aspect ratio. It makes a lot more sense these days that everyone watches there videos on their smartphones.
@@aight365 thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into it
Hi sir. Just bought the other black version of this watch. Very subtle and love the simplicity. But where is the detailed tutorial u said we can check out?
It's coming out tomorrow 😊
Watch Geek i had a feeing ude say that. Nice planning ahead
How to check up the date in GA 2100 ??? I mean the display only show hours and second
Čuka je vrhunska, a zahvaljujuci tebi bez problema sam ga savlado
After having this watch on my radar or a fair few moths, I actually got the Stealth from eBay this week. I paid £180 which is kind of a fair price for a watch so popular and sold out everywhere, I just hope for my sake that Casio don't add more stealth into the market so I can at least retain the value or get more if I do decide to sell in the future.
In terms of the 'useless' LED, I have to disagree, if you're used to wearing watches, even with poor lume you still have knowledge of what time it is even if it's a slight silohette from the hands. I had a GA-100MB-1AER a few years ago and if you want to see a useless LED, I'd recommend that one. Completely useless in pitch black, at least this one gives a fairly decent glow across the whole dial and indexes.
They are 100USD on ebay now lol
@@Kiba_Fox Got mine for £80 new
if this was multiband6 and tough solar i would already have it!!!!
and it will be thicker than this...
If it had a positive display I would have purchased this watch......hate that negative display.

I just purchased this today. Absolutely stunning watch and fits so well.
Can u read it easily?
@@georgekalokardis7577 It's really not bad at all.
@@chris22824 it seems to be difficult from the videos... I dont know 🙄. And i couldnt find it in stores to try it..
Just bought this watch it’s amazing. Probably the best for its price
Is it hard to read the time outside ?
Hi how good is it for extreme winter conditions say -15c ?
I want them to do a way more plain dial version with a Royal Oak 3d square type "Tapisserie" pattern on it and solar.
Sean Corroon that’s called copyright lol 😂
@@ramonetylar5212 Ap werent the first watches to have a Tappisserie dial.
Are there any current GA-2100 variants with better lume?
I love G-shock watches but the more attention they get the pricier they get. A few models are $300+ for a quartz? crazy!
Bought mine (all black one) for $99 though
Would be nice to see the mtg2000 in this size.
I’ll order one as soon as it’s solar
Do you think a solar version will come out??
