So, it can take on all of the outdoor activities I have planned for the summer . The double LED with high luminance brightly illuminates the dial and LCD to ensure readability in the dark. The module was slimmed by miniaturizing the componentry and employing optimized, high-density mounting for the circuit board structure. Combined with the Carbon Core Guard structure, these efforts made for an astonishingly smaller, slimmer case. Colorways-wise, when launched, Casio offered the G-SHOCK GA A , the GA A1 (the “stealth” version with black with gray hands and black indices) and the GA2100 4A .
All items on REEDS.com have a “Ship by” date listed. This date reflects the expected day the item will be shipped. This date takes into account sizing if needed, the day of the week, where the item is being shipped and other elements.
Personally, I find the GA A1 to be a fine daily watch, but only if I’m using it for the sole purpose of telling the time. If I need to use the digital functions or need to check the time at night a lot, then I would prefer to use another G-Shock. (Other GA-2100 models would be better suited for nighttime use than the GA A1.) For me, the GA-2100 could never be my only watch, but I’m happy to have it as part of my small collection. There is no doubt that the similarity has garnered the GA-2100 a lot of attention online, which gave it more publicity than other recent models.
While extremely thin by G-Shock standards, the GA2100 does not sacrifice its ruggedness G-Shock timepieces have been known for – thanks to a thing called Carbon Core Guard. Avid watch collector, photographer and father of too many children. You can often find me building a new Vostok mod or setting up elaborate, dangerous and wholly unnecessary scenarios to get the best picture of my latest wristwear.
It is a stealth watch, made to look like you belong in a Bourne movie and you enjoy brooding while sipping neat whisky on the rocks. And at retail of between £90-£110 they are g shock protection incredibly good value for money. Dimensions of 48.5 x 45.4 x 11.8mm mean it is impressive on wrist but has an incredibly slim profile, due to its Carbon Core Guard Structure.
The GMAS2100-4A is available now online and in boutiques. And though it is not a limited edition, these timepieces are limited production and will sell out fast. In fact, it is restricted to one watch per household.
As a seasoned G-Shock user who has worn them in the harshest environments on the Earth, I genuinely appreciate what Casio achieved back in 1983 when the first model rolled off the production line. The creation of the G allowed me to wear a watch where other models would have curled up and surrendered. They remain a source of wonder to me, and I will always have an insatiable appetite to collect them.
The tang buckle is about as cheap as they come. The strap was what I expected in this price range. Casio marketed the GA-2100 series as a slim and tough watch.
Should Casio introduce other colors, you’ll be able to mix and match the straps. Most probably, in my mind, it was the way the more standard “round” case sat on my wrist in addition to how interesting and intuitively arranged the display is. At first glance, I didn’t like the Casioak style, but I do find it all the more wearable than the many novelties I’ve had pass through my hands from Casio this year. After resisting the urge to leap on a novelty that didn’t convince me out of the gate, I eventually caved and bought an artist-modified Casioak skeleton for myself.
The light is positioned near the tiny digital screen. Dubbed the ‘Casioak’ due to its octagonal similarities to a Royal Oak, it looks like something Batman would have on his wrist. And he wouldn’t be worried about damaging it while fighting crime, as it’s as rugged as any Casio G-Shock in their stable. Rich blacks, lots of dial detail and an ana-digi display make this a joy to look at. But this joy is only achievable in lower light situations to those who have a good level of eyesight, or possibly their own set of night vision goggles like the Dark Knight himself.
