And of course it lights up by pressing the clearly labeled “light” button at 2 o’clock. The ancient Sumerian king list includes the early dynasties of several prominent cities from this period. The first set of names on the list is of kings said to have reigned before a major flood occurred. These early names may be fictional, and g shock watch include some legendary and mythological figures, such as Alulim and Dumizid.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was written in the standard Sumerian cuneiform. It tells of a king from the early Dynastic II period named g shock watch Gilgamesh or “Bilgamesh” in Sumerian. The story relates the fictional adventures of Gilgamesh and his companion, Enkidu.

As is known from the “Sumerian Farmer’s Almanac”, after the flood season and after the Spring equinox and the Akitu or New Year Festival, using the canals, farmers would flood their fields and then drain the water. After drying, they plowed, harrowed, and raked the ground three times, and pulverized it with a mattock, before planting seed. Unfortunately, the high evaporation rate resulted in a gradual increase in the salinity of the fields.

Some archaeologists have speculated that the original speakers of ancient Sumerian may have been farmers, who moved down from the north of Mesopotamia after perfecting irrigation agriculture there. The connection is most clearly seen at Tell Awayli near Larsa, excavated by the French in the 1980s, where eight levels yielded pre-Ubaid pottery resembling Samarran ware. I might pick up the all black model when I fly back to Australia, unless of course there’s a steel or olive drab model released by then.

Other than that though each and every perspective, the 2100A has impressed me a lot and I hope you too would be impressed. The G-shock GA-2100 series is available in three variants, All Black (GA A1), black and white dial (GA A), and All Red (GA2100-4A). Let’s start with the shape, the GA2100-1a1 appeared on the gram and elsewhere online, and the case shape and dial just grabbed my eyes. Blacked out with darkened lumes, inverted LCD, and that octagon bezel, it just looked stunningly beautiful.

And like I said, there’s going to be a whole bunch of aftermarket straps available for this model G-Shock very soon, so if you want a metal keeper it’ll be easy to pick one up. Last but not least, the GA-2100’s resin band is slimmer and more traditionally shaped to suit its retro style, but unlike even modern G-Shocks comes with a quick-release system for replacement or repair. All of that adds up to only 1.8 ounces despite being one of the toughest watches you can wear for EDC right now.

You can figure it out, sure, but it takes a second or two of additional analysis that just isn’t needed with a larger screen. The second, and larger problem, is that the screen is virtually impossible to read without the backlight, unless the dial happens to be completely bathed in direct sunlight. Not a small watch by any means, but it’s also significantly smaller than many popular G-Shocks, which measure closer to 50mm and have unusual geometry that can make them a tough wear. The GA-2100, on the other hand, with its octagonal shape, is easy and comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time.
