G-Shock GA-2100 Series Watch

I have to keep this at 5 stars because it really is a great watch despite the readability. Once you’ve gotten bored of your Swiss watches and want to wear something different for a day or two, it’ll probably be one of your favorites to wear. On readability, it’s not the best. But if we’re being honest, that’s not really the point of this watch. This is just a great looking watch that will pair really well with very casual dress.

I have to admit, I don’t know what I expected when the box came, but what a pleasant surprise. I was looking for a watch I could take kayaking and on nature hikes, but I didn’t want to spend more than $100 on it. It needed to have a rubber or synthetic band that handled water well and was easily able to try with a towel. The watch needed to be waterproof but also not complicated. The G-Shock series is typically a very busy watch face, and the cases are usually so large (49mm and above). I wanted something that was smaller for my medium-sized wrist. I wanted a simplified G-Shock, but different, and not obnoxious. I found it with this model. Overall, it’s a nice watch. It shows very well. I like the world time setting and just love watching the hands spin around when I select the city. It fits my wrist and isn’t too big or heavy. I think it is very clean looking and I didn’t expect to say “wow” out of the box. But the design harkens back to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak design, which is a dream look for most. This is why the watch is referred to as a “CasiOak”. I didn’t want a ton of little things to look at on the watch face so to me, looking down and checking the time is a real pleasure. There’s a day of the week and a time. Perfect. The light works well in the dark. The watch is made to be an activewear style watch so the material of the watch suits it’s ability to compete with products of the environment (water and dirt). So when I see these other comments that say things like "well the material feels cheap" or "the band is not what I thought", I don't know what other material they expected the watch to be made of. Overall, good watch and I'm not sure where the left of field reviews are coming from. I am pleased and would recommend this watch.

Cool watch with even cooler price

Package well. It arrived on time before Christmas. A perfect gift for my son. The style is simple and the Brightness great the value for the watch is within range and ease of use is great it is digital and the functionality is perfect fit.

Looks good and works well

The watch fit perfectly, quality is really good and it looks nice. Only cons I have is black on black is little hard to see and shipping box was bent, mangled and looked like it was wet at some point.

Got it as a gift for my daughter. She loves it! It's nice looking and very sleek in person. You do have to adjust the time as it's analog and both digital.

Stylish and works well
