Casio GA-B2100 Review - The 'CasiOak' Gets Solar & Bluetooth ✅ Fashion Forward G-Shock (5 Colours!)

[@fdfurlan]

Very good review. I bought mine and I could not back to my beloveds squares. This watch is too cool!

[@keaixiaomeinv]

This is a really, really, really good review. Loving the fact that you took the time to actually review the functions instead of just glossing it over. Recently I also got this watch myself, the black one with the retro accents. I find the addition of Bluetooth and Tough Solar makes an already great watch pretty much unbeatable at this price point.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

thanks for watching! I really like that black one as well, tough choice between the two for me but I figured I already have a few black watches so went bold for this one

[@oktc68]

Almost bought this yellow one because of it's legibility but after getting used to the negative type display on my G-STEEL, and the additional releases I opted for the Caution Yellow model and put it in a black stainless steel case/bracelet. Very practical as is though, plus an excellent base for something with a little more class. The crownless case in particular preserves the original case shape.

[@Nordic_Sky]

I just got one of these today. Have not had a Casio before so I watched many videos to figure it out. For a newbie like me, this watch is pretty complicated. This video is by far the best. Great job!

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

Thank you! Enjoy your new Casio

[@tonygeddes9558]

Great review and great watch. Just ordered the black one with the blue and red markings, here in the UK. I also ordered some 22mm strap adapters from JaysAndKays, and a black 22mm Archer silicone strap. Can’t wait to get it all set up.

[@FM1116]

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

Thank you for that! 🙏🏻

[@bravenkind7843]

What an awesome release. Casio is going to sell a massive amount of these! Bought a black one. I love the legibility of the dial and classic pops of color reminiscent of the 5610 models. Thanks for the review!

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

ooh I liked that one as well! great choice, I think you'll really enjoy it

[@Atheos1337]

I bought this watch about two months ago and it's a beauty, except the color is black. Love the auto power save and tough solar. Best decision I made.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

awesome!

[@iseatht]

I think black is the best.

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

I own a Casio Tough Solar. Great watch, great price, looks G Shockish, but the light is weak. Now that the G is solar, and the light is that good I’m in. Cheers from Chicago

[@aaroncavazos9371]

I feel the same way!

[@rickobrien9788]

Nice review. Received my yellow version last week. It’s extremely legible and well thought out. I returned a green 2100 as the negative display wasn’t legible. Glad I did, because the addition of solar and BT is an excellent upgrade. It’s a fun watch.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

I love the look of the negative display, but dislike the real world usefulness of it. I find when it’s at all dark it is impossible to see them without the backlight

I just got the quote UN quote last one from Amazon just today after watching this video I was on the fence for a while with the red accent one I was just about to pull the trigger at $118 which is a decent price. And then I saw this seeing yellow is my favorite color next to green I had to get it and your review was fire 🔥 and seeing the display was more legible I went with this color fo sho thanks 😊

My casio ga-b2100-1aer *black watch with the blue bluetooth logo & the smaller red dial accent arrived yesterday (uk) very happy with it, took a little while to get used too but almost there now... 1 thing I noticed is if you have the casio app on in the background on your mobile phone it drains the battery quite quick...hopefully be a future fix 🤞🏻

Thank you kindly!

[@zvonemanduric4905]

It's a really nice watch, and one which I'm looking forward to getting myself as well, although I find more charm in the regular Casioak. One thing I wish they would do is put solar on the regular Casioak line(the non-bluetooth models) , but still every single watch in the Casioak lineup is gorgeous.

[@TheGrenadier97]

Not a big fan of yellow, but this watch has so many elements to it that make it great. Casio should make more colours of the positive display, white handset solar 2100s.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

I prefer the positive display as well

[@elichisley3031]

That yellow is beautiful wish the blue tooth allowed you to control your music on iPhone. The display is an improvement over last model.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

I would like that too!

[@CrazyBlueBanana]

Really informative review! I previously had the original yellow version but ended up selling it because it was too long for my wrist. I'm hoping they bring these upgrades to the smaller GMA version.

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

Great review Pete, I got my today and i love it. However I'm a lot older than you and ive swapped out the yellow strap for a black one off another 2100. You've saved me going through the manual with this vid. Just subbed, thank you.

Hey Pete, great review. Does the band on yours squeak like mad where the band hits the case? Mine does! I'm sure the coloured G-Shocks are a different type of resin because my black Casioak doesn't squeak.

[@ztejstronymarcin]

I really like your videos, I consider this review to be one of the best of this watch on KZbin! I also watched reviews of the G-9400. I have an important question for me, I had a GW-M5610U-1ER, but I sold it because the buttons were uncomfortable (too small, it was difficult to use this watch). I wonder what the situation is with GA-B2100-1AER? Are the buttons comfortable? And my second question, because I saw that you had the G-9400-1ER in your hand, what is the situation with the keys? They are big, but what about pressing? Easy to turn on?

[@sneakypetesproductreviews]

Wow thank you!

[@lewy1]

Will this phone alert you of incoming calls or texts?

[@your_bases_are_belong_to_us]

Wash your band everyday with dishwashing liquid after use. Oil Dirt and Bacteria break down the resin. Keeping it clean is the only way.
