Pick up some slick style for your accessory collection with G-Shock’s GA2100 clear and white analog watch! This shock and water-resistant watch features a stunning crystal clear case and band, while the white and black face creates some nice contrast. G-Shock’s usual suite of features, including a world clock, optional 24-hour time, and many more, are all here and accounted for, creating a rugged watch that will complement any look. White-on-black model’s analog hands are fine, “stealth” gray-on-black, and red-over-red models not so much.
We have been wearing the CasiOak this past fortnight and it has that same hard-as-nails quality. 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.
Its plastic case is practically weightless if you’re used to wearing an even a modestly proportioned 316L case. By design, the strap is angled down so that there’s little room at any point between the 48.5mm case and the watch. There’s something else notable about the case, and that’s the Carbon Core Guard tech that’s incorporated. The case is constructed with a thin layer of carbon fiber in order to bolster its strength so the overall amount of material used in the case can be decreased, without sacrificing any sort of material strength. The Carbon Core Guard doesn’t change the feeling on the wrist, but it does inspire a sense of confidence that the watch would be fine even if it were run over by a car.
Mounting will be accepted as part of the trade-in due to wear and will be valued at the price of gold at the time of trade-in. There will me multiple options available, in black (GM A), navy blue (GM-2100N-2A), green (GM-2100B-3A) and red (GM-2100B-4A). Each carry the usual G-Shock shock resistance and waterproofing to 200 metres. (Pocket-lint) – Casio will soon release an updated version of its GA-2100 G-Shock but with a metal bezel that makes it, in our eyes, a really cool finish. The Jinshu case and bracelet here is unapologetically based around the look of the Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet, which suits the original shape of the GA-2100 very, very well.
With a toughness emblematic of the new era, the GA2100 has arrived. The very first G-SHOCK — the DW5000 — debuted in 1983.
A design concept soon inherited by the first analog G-SHOCK model — the AW500 — released in 1989. The concept was realized with a rock-solid design that looked almost like it was carved out of a single block of resin, removing everything non-essential.

It isn’t good at everything, but it comes through when it counts. That’s about all you can ask of a watch, at any price. I really love it if it have the seconds hand on the Analog portion of the watch . Casio Mudmaster is an accurate and bullet proof watch. While the GA-2100 has more of the original G-Shock DNA in its style than some other recent models like the GA-2000, it is also a subdued style that has a mainstream appeal.
The CasiOak is available in several different color variations, but the GA A is the almost all-black version which is one of the most popular of them all. As a result, it has become difficult to find, with only limited availability, and prices on the secondhand market increasing as a result. When talking about digital watches, the first watch that comes to mind for a lot of people is the Casio G-Shock. A slide lever makes g shock watch it easy to attach and remove the band — a very handy feature for cleaning and other maintenance. The double LED with high luminance brightly illuminates the dial and LCD to ensure readability in the dark. With a sense of depth achieved with three-dimensional molding, the dial features a minute-mark-notched dial ring, three-dimensional index cuts, a mode dial and irregular shaped LCD in a sweetly balanced arrangement.
The Casio ”CasiOak” GA 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. And what’s more, it’s still very much an analog piece in that it features a traditional dial layout. Casio, king of digital timekeeping, is still fighting the good fight when it comes to keeping analog alive with the GA A-1. There is a digital display on the southeast quadrant of the dial, and that’s where you can cycle through all the aforementioned functions. And of course it lights up by pressing the clearly labeled “light” button at 2 o’clock.
The GA-2100 form factor resembles the first G-Shock DW-5000C, but with a pronounced octagonal shape and more streamlined corners – this way the Japanese pay tribute to the glorious past of the high-impact direction. An additional window shows the current day of the week, and more detailed information about the date can be viewed on the digital display. The set of features here is only basic , but they are enough for most everyday tasks. The name G-SHOCK has become a byword for independence and pushing the limits. Guided by a “Triple 10” development concept, the design teams sought a watch with 10-meter free-fall endurance, 10-bar water resistance and a 10-year battery life. This led to a shock resistant structure that includes a hollow-structured case, all-directional protective covering and the use of cushioning material to protect critical parts.
