A NEW Casio G-Shock you never thought you’d NEED!!!

[@fattmatt200]

If Casio did this with their 40 quid illuminator range they would make a killing

[@yogiyoda]

@@zachvalue - huh? what model?

[@yogiyoda]

@@zachvalue The 2100's are g-shocks not cheap casio. And this version of the Casio cost $150. They are not $40 watches. The comment was suggesting a manga version of a cheaper watch that Casio could sell for $40

[@nickwilkinson75]

At £139 I was a little hesitant to punt up the money to buy one (the white version). While sat in the queue on the Casio site with 350 people ahead of me, I did consider bailing. However those 350 people ahead of me and everyone else who got one (not to just sell on), were clearly onto something - now I have it in my possession, I absolutely love it! It fits well and looks incredible. Likely the first and last white watch I'll ever own. I also think as a piece of design, it will age very well indeed - largely due to how different it looks to most watches out there right now. I'd hate to scuff it, so I might venture outdoors with it in a couple of days... or years 😅

[@timetowatch_francois]

OH 🫢 … The designer should get a medal for this version (mostly the white one) … soooooo cool! 😅 Thanks for sharing my friend.

I’m stunned that your wife, who has often panned your watches for looking like kids watches, loves the “kiddiest” of them all 😅😂

[@bogrot69]

That's a really cool effect. I've seen some fellow Gundam model kit builders to use that technique to paint their kits although they add shading and other colors as well. They look amazing!

[@ESUNintel]

Speaking of Gundam; was having random memories of different Gundam stories yesterday, and all of the sudden wondered - how awesome would it be if Casio releases a Gundam edition watch. Was even hoping I didn’t miss the drop if it ever happens.

[@the.Aruarian]

They’ve actually released a good number of official Gundam G-Shocks over the years! Some of them look wearable, too. 😁 I own the red CasiOak and have always seen it as a unofficial Red Comet signature.

[@greamespens1460]

I have a yellow GBA 2100 and it's going black at the edges, thinking of using a black marker to make a similar effect

[@SaibaKeiosu]

the box is 'boring' because it's the style of manga panels *before* you draw in them kind of like a "you are the artist"/"you create the stories with this watch" motif

[@johnstyron6543]

Fun, colorful and approved by the wife!!! That’s three ✨ stars!!! What more could you ask for!!!! 🤠

It will be a Watch till the end of times without BT and solar.

[@G-rig6969]

You're paying a lot for the novelty and colourway, and a negative display. I think they are cool, but wouldn't get one until they are a normal price (but even then may not bother when they are very common).

[@Moshikokotashima]

I gotta say I'm very thankful to G-shock watches spicifically the GBD H-2000 "which is one of the smaller G-shocks" becasue after wearing it for almost 5 months not only it helped me excersie more but now all my automatic watches seem exreamly skinny and small which is how i want them to feel on my wrist. Before wearing G-shock i always thought they are too big and uncomfortable on wrist, now for the first time it feel like im putting on a second layer of skin dont even feel it on my wrist thanks to how giant G-shocks are 😂😂😂

[@garethsigrist8714]

These watches are crazy! They almost don’t look real! I love the look but probably wouldn’t be something I could pull off. I love that they exist though! Thanks to Gavin for lending in another limited edition for us to have a gander at. Awesome show as always MWC!

[@andrewd7586]

I bought the blue one Russ & wearing it now! Its definitely my favourite G-Shock!🥰 Aside from my Casioaks… AE1200WH…Mudman…F91W… Well ok I like it!🤣👍🏼

[@gazzertrn]

Diffrent , well diffrent . Clever design .

[@gadgetbeacon]

You're doing some of the best watch reviews lately! Perfect mix of useful information & opinion with solid footage and humor

[@MrShoryuken1]

Love these, the execution isn't quite up there with the D1 Milano Sketch but still very fun.

[@Ricelord4]

As someone who reads manga and watches anime, I dig the look. But with it being limited, I'm probably not going to see one at retail prices anytime soon. I guess I'll have to settle for my white Baby-G BGD-560-7 for now. 😅

[@KudoYoung]

These are cool as heck. I have a 5610u, A168, and an F91w. I’m always battling myself in my brain as it’s hard to convince myself if I need to or not.

[@Oddzilla51]

I really like the Casioak. Spiffy watch. I just wish I could find more with a positive display. The darker display is a little too hard to read for these older eyes, but it's a great watch.

[@rickardo522]

Great vid as always, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a CasiOak with solar and multi band 6, let alone for under £150, but there are versions with solar and Bluetooth.

[@TheNunakun]

The missus' comment caught me more offguard than the watches themselves!

[@kapooktu]

I really hope that they would do something like this with the square Gs. I would absolutely buy it in a heartbeat.

[@leonvanderlinden6929]

The ga-b2100-1aer must be the best, legible lcd, tough solar and bluetooth connectivity. Wear mine regularly.

[@saichandra7762]

Now imagine that with the manga edition

[@WACky-7]

Have you seen that G-shock have just released the GBM-2100A, fixed all the problems with the GM-2100, now it has Solar, bluetooth (if you want it ?!) , beautiful colours and got rid of the nasty illegible negative digital display and replaced it with a positive display. It is now legible and beautiful.....as a result I sold my GM-2100-1AER and bought a GBM-2100A-1A2ER which has a Vapour Blue dial.......gorgeous.....check it out.....😁

[@korien8976]

I got mine yesterday (they've become available in europe) and I love the look of it. Very fun and now that it even got the wifes blessing even better.

[@justsomeguywithstrawhat]

The thing that troubles me with the whole ga2100 lineup since 3 years is that casio just couldn't agree to produce them with positive display The ones with them are light colored (from both men and women segments) which resists me from getting them as my daily beater..

[@simonbeasley989]

Negative display pointless on a 2100! Does nothing for the looks.

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

I pre-ordered the white one, and absolutely love it. It looks like you're wearing a comic book on your wrist. Both of my nephew's are currently trying to get it from... not today boys!

Lovely little review, had so many people ask me at Time London to have a look, it was well received. A fun watch for summer!

[@Itstimetoshowoffwatches]

Thank you for featuring my post ❤

[@Memmaao]

I've just got it yesterday. The white version. I pre-ordered from a Hungarian retailer, then they sent me an email a few days ago, that it won't come to Hungary. Meanwhile eBay prices gone wild. But I found a brand new from Japan, for 260usd. I'm not regretting it! It's a dope one

[@umboccioni]

Really like the blue one, there is also a crazy MR-G2100 that looks beautiful but it’s £4300 so no go, as the standard full metal is only £500 ish. I got the GW-B5600 “caution yellow” at the beginning of the month and put a deployant clasp on it and love it.

[@LouisGiliberto]

I would def buy one of those if they were available because that is really cool. I'm with you, MWC, I have 2 GA-2100s and they're my least worn G-shocks. Small buttons and hard to use compared to a "normal" G-Shock. They look nice though.

[@luislanza2068]

[@tafkawac]

When I first discovered TWC, I wasn't sure about they style & presentation. Has to be said, I love it now ❤❤. The effort and skill in the presentation and video is outstanding. My favourite watch channel.

[@adk7962]

Super fun, but I guess it’s a moot point since I won’t pay flipper prices. But that’s the very first thought I also had which was that if I had the watch, I would be afraid to wear it… which as you said defeats the purpose of the G-Shock. Thanks for the great review!

[@daveclarke1335]

I got both on the Casio uk website,love the white more,comic book design pops russ👍

[@kennylc]

i am in asia right now and there is such a variety of colour combos from the AD's.

[@simonbeasley989]

Nice, but as someone with 11 G Shocks I don’t get why they put a negative display on those. I have a King and a black and red GAW-100BNR-1A and while these have displays harder to read than a normal one the negative contributes to the looks. But on any 2100's tiny and wonderfully functional display, why??

[@stuffhappens5681]

A good thing about the 2100 series is that the most basic module, far as I can tell, still has 5 alarms and world time. That's not the case for the 6900 or any other limited models I've seen in other styles. 😭😭😭

[@simonbeasley989]

Having got a bargain clear cased 2100 recently I really appreciate the thought that has gone into the module. The scrolling full city name in WT, the ease of swapping the digital date to show time, the excellent backlight...

@@simonbeasley989 yeah, they even made a simple solution to move the hands when they block your screen. It might be the best all around Casio module IMHO
