G-Shock renewed the CasiOak to make a Strap Monster! Better this time?

Today we are looking at the new GA-2300-1A, A strange watch with an X on the dial and lugs to straps various straps on it.
Is G-Shock trolling twitter with the new X Casioak?
Cheers, Andrei.

I have multiple places in my box for this and any subsequent models in various color way’s. Finally, excited by this release as I only have 6 or 4 of these variants, but now apparently will have pieces to actually ENJOY!! Well done mate and thank you for the dazzling news!! tIME4tIME

[@bufli]

If you need more of the same thing to "actually enjoy" it, you got your priorities backwards...

[@mountainhobo]

They were going in the right direction, but they just couldn't help themselves. In the end they puked some pointless noise on the dial, and blacked out the indices. Hard 'No'.

[@BraveBeaters]

I fully agree :)

[@rangorango7545]

i like this, has the DNA of the G, different but cool, interesting to see if market will catch on

[@BraveBeaters]

I think it will :)

[@andrewd7586]

I like the grey case colour myself.😎👍🏼

[@sathishrao7926]

It looks cooler than my GA-B2100 which I bought for $90. I don’t mind adding 2300 to my collection once its price reaches ‘attainable’ levels !!

[@thenotanclan]

Nope - hideous Resin case PRX style G-Shock 40mm? Yes please

[@larsstougaard7097]

Elon Musk will love the one with X

[@BraveBeaters]

Haha! True :)

[@dri1811ya]

I feel like Elon is a Hublot type of guy 😄

[@minsungkim5907]

Can i ask where i can buy the white rubber strap? Looks nice!

[@ZoidPickle]

Always a pleasure. The casioaks are a bit hit and miss for me. The spring bar being 24mm is quite wide. Can't argue at this price point though. Doesn't get much tougher. Thanks for the video. 👍

[@BraveBeaters]

Cheers! :)

[@Boyahda]

The X-Men watch

[@BraveBeaters]

Haha, true :)

[@rocksaidso]

i just love my 2300 .

[@anildev2083]

I bought it as soon as i saw your video a bit dissapointed with the size as Im a big guy but I like it and man please do share the white strap that you used I really like it just want o get that for myself

[@MrDominicharrison]

Minus that daft X and it’s a winner

[@ccahua]

No Solar, no go. Waiting for a GAB-2300 in 20 - 22 mm lugs

[@LouixIskander]

Where can I get that white strap from?

[@whojosegonzalez]

what strap is it, i would like to look at it for my other watches or see what they have

[@scarredhandsreviews]

The x ! Just why?

[@byrontaylor2236]

Yeah, what you said!! But inconsequential to me.

[@ph69jbl]

Prospex vibes…

[@aesric]

X men

[@scarredhandsreviews]

A blue case with yellow x = G-shock wolverine.

[@KabobHope]

​@@scarredhandsreviewsYeah, this is begging for a Wolverine edition.

[@parana2853]

Looks like the lugs are a separate piece? Maybe someone will make an adapter for 20mm straps, but then the one selling point is pointless, I agree with everyone else that they had something good going on but couldn't nail the landing.

[@BraveBeaters]

Yes, it can be made.

[@D3ZG1978]

The 2100 actually looks a bit old fashioned now next to it… just wish they’d gone 22mm at the most!

[@BraveBeaters]

haha! true :) yes 22 mm would had been somethinG :)

[@rendistian360]

More like G-Shock Ben10

[@BraveBeaters]

Haha! True :)

[@Executor009]

The Casiotrix

[@jain-wt2ou]

Looks like a helicopter rotor

[@66racer]

Man, I want to love it but the lugs just look off to me. Something about them. The "X" is not totally awesome design wise either to me but the lugs, I have to see it in person.

[@user-ji2hn5pe3n]

The lugs look strange and the 24mm lugs are a no go for me.

[@WMIYC]

I think I’d prefer the lugs to not be so prominent.

[@colinbeckstrand2612]

24mm is hard because I would have to invest in new straps. I have 6 watches at 20mm and 2 at 22mm. No crossover with this watch. I'll just stick with my casioak with lug adapters.

[@ishaan3521]

Make it green and black and its basically the Omnitrix

[@eruno_]

I don't hate it if it's one with positive display

[@BraveBeaters]

Currently I think all of them are on negative.

[@eruno_]

@@BraveBeaters classic G-Shock 🙄

[@oskarjokull]

@@BraveBeaters The white variant has a positive screen. I'm picking up mine today!

[@wuyeah-kx8es]

I immediately think it is inspired by Ulysse Nardin X

[@BraveBeaters]

haha! yes, that too :)

[@cr-qd9pw]

Great news! It's on my list. Viva la downside! 😀

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

No. OG 2100's the best. What happened to the mode thing? Why days of the week?

[@georgedobre88]

the X on the dial is very distracting and the overall legibility is even worse than of the original black Casioak . The general case shape is nice, the lugs too, but that dial makes it more of a fashion watch - to be paired with some bulky strange looking sneakers .

[@siddhant46s54]

This GA2300 is giving me Ben10 omnitrix vibes lol , they did a good job bringing the size down but ruined it with the wiideee lug width and the weird X on the dial , juts looks to gimmicky ! I have a GM-2100-1adr , love it and will be sticking to it , this is too much of a deviation from the vibes of the previous generation , g-shock defo fucked up a bit .

[@BraveBeaters]

haha! fully agree :)

[@mrbubbles293]

No. This isnt it for me.

[@Isofile]

No…

[@DaFox13]

Not a fan of this model. Making smaller watches and even offering the possibility for strap swaping is great thou.

[@BraveBeaters]

I agree :)

[@DzejWiJV]

Nice

[@itsjustajokechill3158]

It looks like just a little bit like Jacob and co epic x (use imagination)

[@RhetoricWolf]

No, no, no. Absolutely not. No.

[@byrontaylor2236]

But why, not the X, but why all of the no’s…. Just curious friend. time4time

[@RhetoricWolf]

Honestly the X is main reason for all the No's. It just doesn't do anything for me at all. Respect 🫡

[@byrontaylor2236]

Roger that, that particular aspect of the piece means absonothing to me as well. All the best friend tIME4 tIME. Byron

[@Justme0495]

It looks interesting, but I'll give it a pass. Maybe the design will grow on me. But for now I don't see more value in this than the 2100 series..

[@robertfeast7691]

IMHO G-Shock are now just novelty watches. I bought a Ga2100 but the lcd screen is so tiny it's impossible to read. This one also has tiny reverse lcd screens so, is just as useless.

[@ignaciopadilla5150]

I would buy the black version if the X was painted yellow.

[@BraveBeaters]

haha!

[@grale78]

Pass.

[@raffaeltondeur4537]

Watch design that fits in very well with the infantilization of many products. Horrible. Fortunately, there is the Tissot PRX digital, which, although it does not suit many Royal Oak fans, shines in a noble design with the best quality.

[@odds-and-sods]

The X is a nonsense and detracts from telling the time, too bad.

[@asdfyxcv1100]

not digging this cross shape

[@MrRajeshkpy]

Can’t buy a watch which does not have a seconds hand sorry Casio. This watch is missing a leg!

[@snapfitness1]

No ... just no.

[@GottaGeek]

The x on the dial is a constant reminder of what a failure Elon Musk has become. Used to be all for the guy, now I can't stand him. Otherwise the secondary thought of being related to the x men would have made me buy it

[@plantemichel]

It’s ugly and not readable 😂 the analog is useless. How do you read the time come on !!! Nice review 😀
