Initially it can be quite difficult to understand why Little Casio GA-B22100 is such a great watch. After all, it is cheap, it is not a science-fi-effects limited version, and towards technology, it is not widely specified as a fitness-oriented G-shock, give an Apple Watch alone.
Nevertheless it is one of my favorite G-shock watches of recent times, and a great purchase. here's why.
Why is it popular?
The original G -Shock GA -2100 (focus on the lack of B in its name) came out in 2019 and was a quick hit. The $ 99 price point was correct, analog/digital look is pure G-shock, and it was available in various colors, so it appealed to many people who buy G-shock watches as fashion accessories. Passing (if you squint very hard) like octagon Shahi oak The luxury clock also helped in making its legend online.
A limited version of the GA-2100 created with more colors, a metal-casted version, and Rubik's cube has been released since then, but is the first overhaul of the GA-B2100 model that combines more features, and the choice is spot-on. The GA-B2100 is equipped with a Bluetooth connection and hard solar charging of cassio, making GA-B2100 one of the highest-specs entry-level g-shoes available available.
Despite these two important upgrades, the GA-B2100 has changed a bit and compared to the simple GA-2100. It is still the thinnest g-shock around 11 mm, so it is incredibly wearing, weight is minimal at 52 grams, and there are many color options. The price has been affected by adding new technology, but not much, because the GA-B2100 starts at $ 150 (129 British pounds), and for this, it is a complete theft.
Bluetooth connection
Although some casio g-shock watches today include more fitness tracking characteristics, such as GBD-200, GA-B2100 is a simple case. Bluetooth connection sinks on your phone to set local time, and in the app you can accommodate features like alarm, timer and world time. It is easy, faster and more natural to learn the process of doing so on the watch using the app.
Casio has recently released a new app called Cassio Watches, which replaces its old G-shock connected app, and I first took the opportunity to try it while using GA-B2100. The app looks, clean and easy to read with black text on a white screen, and I like that you can choose your exact clock to show your exact clock in the app instead of a low personal general option in the old app.
Choose a feature like setting the world time and a map shows with it for some additional visual interest, while other features are all simply kept out and are very early to use. It is certainly more feature-focused than the app faster, less attractive and older connected apps.
However, the main home page is a collection of advertisements for G-shock and a repetition of its Instagram feed, which is no purpose. When I open the app, I highlight my watch collection. He said, Bluetooth connections with the app have worked without a problem because try first, and it takes a long-repres of the mode button after adding the clock again after disconnecting automatically. On one side the house page, it should actually be like a fellow app.
Hard goods
The GA-B2100 uses the carbon core guard structure of the Casio to protect the inner components from vibration and effects, and a resin wraps the body and stars around it for excess cruelty. It is completely shock-resistant and water-resistant to 200 meters, so you are not going to break the clock Trying really,
I like a bright lumor with my green tint on the hands of hours and minutes, and the way its bright white color makes the dial more adornment when it looks quickly. A piece of flat mineral glass covers the dial, and the case is back four buttons and a screw-down stainless steel case.
Hard solar charging is required to provide electricity to all clock and Bluetooth connections, and it takes its energy from both sunlight (even when its clouds) and fluorescent indoor lighting. Casio estimates that it will last for seven months without seeing any light after being fully charged to charge it completely, so if you wear it regularly, you will not have to worry much about the battery decreasing.
Press the mode button to bicycle through features displayed on the digital LCD screen. This is definitely not the largest screen, but it works to check the world time or your alarm settings, as well as if you press light and mode button at the same time, the hands automatically get out of that path if they are unclear it. Analog complexity shows the mode of the clock and if the Bluetooth feature is active, while in normal mode it points to an L, M, or H marker, which reflects the current level of solar charge either low, medium or high.
GA-B2100 wearing
Forget any prior perception about all g-shock watches being large and heavy, GA-B 2100 is none of these things. The smooth case is so easy to wear because of this, yet in the right color, it can still make a statement, especially on the way with summer and a chance to wear top -sleeved tops. The width of the 45 mm case seems big, but I do not think it dominates my 6.5 inch wrist, which you see in pictures, at all. The resin strap is flexible and comfortable, as well as the absolutely load of adjustment to get the fit right.
I wore a blue GA-B 2100-2A version and is like a subtle matte finish, but has actually seen a non-culture version of the eye-catching yellow GA-B 2100 C-9A. The yellow version is very colorful, not only due to the case, but also due to white hours markers, yellow hands on complexity, red hard solar logo and blue Bluetooth logo. You can also get a green version of a black, black/gray and GA-B2100, which recalls colors used on all original 80s G-shock watches.
The octagonal 2100-series G-shock kept everything simple, with a now-anonic size, a clear functional dial, and the easy wear for low price. The GA-B2100 combines solar charging and a slight amount for a minor amount combined with a properly useful technique with a useful Bluetooth connection, without affecting the cool, fashionable simplicity of the design. I think it's great.
When can you get? GA-B 2100 The range will come to the US around June, and it will be out in the UK at some point in May. All colors except yellow models cost $ 150 or 129 pounds, with an attractive yellow clock in $ 160 or 139 pounds.
