Men’s Minimalist Watch Ga2100
Overall, although the dial is quite busy, you have to keep in mind there is a lot of fit on this dual-time watch when you have all those functions, and Casio has done a great job keeping it clean. There is also an day of the week sub-dial at around 9 o’clock, with matching coloring on the markers. A few of my coworkers thought that the CasiOak was a “cheap Wal-Mart watch”. Wearing the GA-2100SU-A1JF made me feel like I was wearing a Royal Oak Offshore. (Or at least I thought that I was.) The satisfaction to price ratio was off the chart with the CasiOak on-wrist.
As I mentioned previously, the time may be difficult to read at night using the analog hands, but the digital display solves this problem. A small light can be activated that perfectly illuminates the digital display and provides enough light to adequately read the time using the handset. Another day, another Casioak, and back to the jelly goodness of the GA-2100SKE-7AER. It’s remarkable how these references, while identical, change personality with both context and activity, and what better sports watch than a G-Shock if, like me, you don’t fancy a huge Garmin.
Fashion in-jokes have a short half-life, yet this piece has stuck around, even after it became clear the similarity wasn’t intentional. The shape first appeared on the original DW5000 and we have used the motif many times ever since.” So too have many g shock watch other brands over the decades. The case is made of fine resin embedded with carbon fibers for outstanding strength and crack resistance. One is totally blacked out (GA2100-1A1) and the other is black with white hour markers and hands (GA2100-1A).
On the surface this seems like an odd inclusion, but it solves 2 problems. It keeps the dial somewhat symmetrical; if you try to imagine the dial without it there, it would look odd. It also keeps the digital display compact and unobtrusive. While the handset is bright white and filled with lume, the markers are off-white, almost gray. They match the color of the lume on the hands but are not lumed at all. I would have liked to see Casio lume the markers as it can be difficult to read and orient yourself when reading the time in the dark.
It’s all about what you see when you look at your wrist. But speaking of the case, this is where it sets itself apart from other G-Shocks. Rather than a big, blocky, overbuilt style, its octagonal shape gives it a more distinguished look (a “royal” inspiration, if you will), which ties in well with its ana-digi design.
In traditional G-Shock fashion, the watch has text printed on the bezel in order to help you know which functions are for what. At 12 o’clock, we have the text ”G-Shock”, at 6 o’clock the text ”Protection”. The four other texts refer to the functions of the buttons which are placed just to the side of it, which is of course helpful when you are operating it.
All of that adds up to only 1.8 ounces despite being one of the toughest watches you can wear for EDC right now. AliExpress will never be beaten on choice, quality and price. Every day you’ll find new, online-only offers, store discounts and the opportunity to save even more by collecting coupons. But you may have to act fast as this top baby g shock is set to become one of the most sought-after best-sellers in no time. Think how jealous you’re friends will be when you tell them you got your g shock ga 2100 on AliExpress. With the lowest prices online, cheap shipping rates and local collection options, you can make an even bigger saving.
Though Casio have developed premium lines for their other models, you could always count on the affordability of their general releases. But little by little Casio are leveling up their watches, giving even their most modest models upgrades in all the right places. The new analog-digital GA-2100 does just that and more with Casio’s rock-solid new case technology, while also sporting a retro-inspired design that fits right at home on a modern watch. Hands move away automatically from obstructing view of digital display. So good to see Casio putting a stop to the recent insanity of big, BIGGER, AND EVEN BIGGER!!!
