Casio Casio G
And if you are following that subreddit , you will know that one of the hottest watches of the moment is also – for once – one of the most affordable. baby g shock Or as this model is known on the internet, the “CasiOak”. It came out around a year ago but the buzz is showing no signs of letting up.
I have managed to surprise myself with the joy of such simple wrist-worn fun. I’ve also enjoyed wearing the only watch in the house with a retrograde display for the weekdays, a proper world timer, 200m depth rating and all the other functions we simply take for granted. In short, the Casioak is a technological marvel spiced up with cheap fun – for about $220AUD it offers value with a capital V. I am seriously impressed. This is a watch for everything, and I genuinely understand why it’s got such a star rating among the watch community. The office is not the office anymore, and while we might long for suiting up again to impress colleagues with our sharp taste in tailoring, this is not the time.
Some may be shocked by its huge size which is bigger than most other G-shock watches, but the good news is that it doesn’t wear as big as its dimensions stated on paper may give the impression of. Much of this is thanks to the fact that its slim size allows it to wear comfortably on the wrist despite its big diameter. What makes the GA-2100 extremely compelling is that even among the G-Shock ranks, $99 is still the first stop on the way in (if you’re looking at list prices – we’ve seen this watch listed by re-sellers at triple list). It’s not only an affordable G-Shock, it’s the most affordable one in the entire range at $99, and that includes purely digital and ana-digi models.
It’s slim for its ilk – at 11.8mm, it’s the most slender that G-Shock currently makes. It’s also a predominantly analogue piece, with two hands and a physical day indicator. The Casio ”CasiOak” GA g shock watch A is equipped with the Casio 5611 module. As discussed above, this module displays analog and digital time, stopwatch, world time, perpetual calendar, has five daily alarms, and a countdown timer.
But don’t worry, this is a G-Shock after all, and you can still display the time on the digital screen. High-strength resin material, which is reinforced with carbon fibers, makes it possible to create a case that is a mere 11.8 mm thin, which is the thinnest among G-SHOCK combination models. I’ll never be the type of person who’s interested in wearing a G-Shock on a daily basis.
