Casio GA-2100-1AER G-Shock Carbon Core Octagon Series Watch -Black

Product Information

As the creative and cultural industries face increasingly uncertain and challenging times, we hope these sessions can help creatives of all disciplines, find inspiration and re-connect with their unbreakable spirit. In 2019, G-SHOCK set out to create the ultimate in toughness and clean aesthetics, whilst combining both analogue and digital functionality – The GA-2100 was born. Credit the GA-2100’s diminutive height (18mm), lug length (47mm) and weight, tipping the digital scales at just 1. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.

Should a hand or both hands obscure the digital screen, pressing the light and mode switches rotates the hands away from the screen. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site.In my experience with Bluetooth-enabled G-Shock watches, it's been extremely easy to forget it's even an option until I actually need to do something like setting an alarm on the watch or adjusting the time. The bumpers on the side of the case have a little bit of the Nautilus about them, too, although that feature goes all the way back to the very first G-Shock, the DW-5000, from 1983). If you live in Japan or elsewhere in Asia, good news – it appears that the new GA-B21oo models will arrive a bit sooner, in mid-May 2022. The blackout GA-2100-1A1, one of three debut models from 2019, is still widely sold out and unavailable. While the GA-2100 may convert people who wouldn’t have otherwise bought a G-Shock, that doesn’t mean those people won’t welcome the features that G-Shock is famous for.

With 200m water resistance as well, the watch is ideal for use in a wide range of locations and situations. The Carbon Core Guard doesn't change the feeling on the wrist, but it does inspire a sense of confidence that the watch would be fine even if it were run over by a car.The GA-2100 isn’t a perfect watch, and many people may be better served by another G-Shock model, depending on their needs. Its timeless design, perfected right from the beginning, was born of a pursuit of the ultimate toughness eschewing all hints of the extraneous.

The first GA-2100 watch was introduced in 2019, expanding the possibilities of toughness and analog style.The height and width of the watch is considered mid-size, rather than the large size of most analog G-Shock watches, and the watch wears very light and comfortably. I own about a dozen G-Shocks and they're almost evenly split between current-spec models featuring upgraded tech, such as Tough Solar, Bluetooth, and Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping (a feature I wish made it onto the GA-B2100, in all honestly), and more old-school designs that keep things basic with a simple multifunction battery-powered quartz movement. Make sure you’re signed up to the G-SHOCK newsletter to avoid missing out on our latest exclusive collaborations and limited editions. The result is an exceptionally slim design for an analogue-digital combination model with a metal case and a comfortable fit on the wrist.

If you press the upper-right and lower-left buttons at the same time, the hands will move out of the way of the LCD temporarily. The watch is offered in a choice of three colours: silver, which accentuates the hard texture of the metal (GM-2100), along with dark blue IP (GM-2100N) and dark grey IP (GM-2100B) options.

Water comes easily between the transparent rubber outside and the core, needs hours/days to disappear makes the look strange. But don’t worry, this is a G-Shock after all, and you can still display the time on the digital screen. With a push of a button, hands are moving and permit a free visibility of functions like stopwatch or date.
