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. The baby g shock manufacturer calls his creation the Carbon Core Guard structure, which not only helps to improve the impact-resistant properties of the case , but also reduces the weight of the watch, and this is also important. To the right downward’s in a diamond shape is the LCD area which is hard to read at the best times.

And the battery life is estimated to be about three years, give or take depending on how much you play around with your watch. EDC shot of the GA A watch from CasioAs far as technology goes there’s none of the new digital watch capabilities like GPS tracking, Bluetooth connecting, or the solar functions that some other watches in the Casio range have. There’s plenty of the usual G-Shock functions to play around with but this is a watch that tells the time, looks good, keeps things simple, and sells for a great price.

I’m yet to handle the all red model 2100 but I’ve heard they both feel good.

I’m usually wearing watches around the 40mm range as that’s my sweet spot so you would think that the big jump in size would be awkward but it’s not, it feels just right on my 19cm (7.5 inch) wrist. If you’re used to wearing G-Shocks that usually come in at around 50mm in size you’ll find the new GA-2100 to be quite a bit smaller and more compact. The new GA-2100, also known as CasiOak due to the case’s that resembles an Audemars Piguet g shock protection Royal Oak, breaks away from the square-shaped case. While the G-Shocks have been analog before, the GA-2100 presents the handset front and center, consistently overtaking the digital display and giving the watch a familiarity that mechanical watch collectors will love. The G-Shock GA-2100 case and bezel comes with Casio’s own blend of resin and carbon fiber. They call it Carbon Core Guard structure because it is so light and strong.

Later, Lugal-Zage-Si, the priest-king of Umma, overthrew the primacy of the Lagash dynasty in the area, then conquered Uruk, making it his capital, and claimed an empire extending from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. He was the last ethnically Sumerian king before Sargon of Akkad. Reliable historical records begin much later; there are none in Sumer of any kind that have been dated before Enmebaragesi . Juris Zarins believes the Sumerians lived along the coast of Eastern Arabia, today’s Persian Gulf region, before it was flooded at the end of the Ice Age.

In particular, carnelian beads with an etched design in white were probably imported from the Indus Valley, and made according to a technique of acid-etching developed by the Harappans. Lapis lazuli was imported in great quantity by Egypt, and already used in many tombs of the Naqada II period (c. 3200 BC). Lapis Lazuli probably originated in northern Afghanistan, as no other sources are known, and had to be transported across the Iranian plateau to Mesopotamia, and then Egypt. This advanced metrology resulted in the creation of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra.

The indices have enough dimensionality that it isn’t too difficult to tell the time, but if a decision was made to go with the ana-digi design, then it’s surprising to forego things that would make it easier to tell the time. But don’t worry, this is a G-Shock after all, and you can still display the time on the digital screen. I’ll never be the type of person who’s interested in wearing a G-Shock on a daily basis. As undeniably cool as many of them are, at the end of the day, the thing that gets my heart pumping when it comes to watches is their mechanical nature. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a lot of fun with a bright red G-Shock on a weekend afternoon, and that, I think, is what this watch is made for. For a collector, or anyone who looks down at a watch box with more than one or two choices in it each day, sometimes you just need a watch break you out of your comfort zone.
