Today we cover one of the most important Casio watches in the recent years! the GA-2000 Carbon Core. A model that signifies a switch from resin to Carbon as the base case material. The reason I think this particular model is so I important is because Casio shows they want to use this technology on entry level models as well, not just the high end offering, which makes me believe this will eventually replace resin completely.

[@powerslave6944]

@@anwinsyras234 I dont know, you will be surprised how good the copies are to the real G-Shock right up to the details and even the warranty books. You should look up videos on KZbin on how to spot fake G-Shocks to make up your mind if your watch is the real one or not.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Glad to hear you thoughts on this one. Look forward to more models in this line too.

[@traviswalker8933]

I really like the fact that this as an illuminated digital display for a lower priced G Shock and a countdown timer in which you can adjust the seconds too. This will be on my wishlist

[@mbb6740]

I bought the black one as my first Gshock and first daily watch in 10 years. Love the shape and the band so much. Really strong too because I’m quite rough with it.

[@mikes.4136]

Those are awesome colors. I especially like the quick release spring bars and flexible strap and easy-to-use buttons. Thank you.

[@sanmechrocker]

@@hiteshsingla6082 I have this watch since 2 years now and it's still going strong, no battery replacement, been through abuse, trekking, mountaineering, swimming, workout, it fell off my balcony (2nd floor) while setting the alarm. I'd definitely go for a durable $125 watch which is going to show the same time as a $50000 watch so why should I spend money on something which is gonna break apart in a Twitch? Also, this is one of the most trendy sports watches out there.

[@001jozef]

Just bought navy blue version and I love them ...feels so good and can't stop looking at them 🤗

[@williamchristian8705]

I bought the blue two weeks ago in Las Vegas. It was on sale at Macy’s. Soon as I had it in hand and felt the weight I was sold. I knew about most of the features already. After I put it on I thought oh no! I want one of each color they had. ha ha. But I still just bought the blue. I’d like to pickup the Army Green also. If you’re like me and a G Shock fan you’ll need a couple of these. I still look at it constantly when I wear it. So the purchase has really pleased me as a G Shock Junkie. My self imposed nickname.

[@tmac3090]

Nice review! I like how you have a separate review on how to use this watch. Much better and easier to follow as compared to the text manual. I'm definitely buying this watch in the coming weeks. This will be my first G-Shock, but probably not my last! Would like to have seen a few different straps swapped out for comparison.

[@tommybreeding5222]

Just purchased this watch on Amazon after watching countless reviews. I have a nickel allergy and seeing the case back is resin was the main reason for getting it. Hopefully it works out. Thank you for the review.

[@rabihjawhar451]

I love it! thanks for the review man

[@masterg7895]

I have this in white, I'll have to admit, this gets more wrist time than my Breitlings and Omega.. I know! But it's just so beautiful and fits perfect on the wrist, they made this model with classic watch designs in thought: a tapered strap, round bezel, regular lugs etc. To me, this is my grail G-shock

[@redbarchetta4]

Excellent review. Very well done. Thank you.

[@RicoIM]

Great watch and as always great review!... I guess this time the plastic buckle doesn’t matter too much anymore, because like you said, you can change the band with anything you like. But that’s still is something to bring on a table for further comments, if future G shocks will come with this easy to remove band design.

[@sawdustandsurvival]

I'm actually put off by the quick release strap. I work in quite a rough job and I find that when watches have been pulled on hard, the strap breaks at the springs. I use a GG1000 at the moment and it's never broke despite being in some testing situations. I think that's down to how secure the connection is.

[@bjornkeizers]

Got mine a while ago; it's pretty sweet! It's a different direction for sure, but we'll see how it's accepted by fans. I like having the ability to swap straps more easily, especially if they go for a slightly more traditional look. As it is, it's a solid first offering in this new model range. One thing I REALLY love is the big, easy buttons. Far nicer to operate than the smaller-than-a-pencil-eraser buttons on a 5600.

[@PfarrerHerzblut]

[@TomG80]

Funny thing is that depending on the colourway the hands are built differently: in this particular version 1A9 or in teal blue 1A2 the hands are hollow in the middle, but in E-4 colourway (the one with 3 straps in a set) hands are flat and covered with lume, which glows in the dark.

[@Rick-ve5lx]

I was lent the black one to set the hands for a hapless owner so I used your tutorial thanks. It feels well-made and expensive. The blue fade-out lume/white hands is effective. It’s not much more cost than a basic square but it’s in a different league. I thought it was a £250 watch.

I always say, go for the one you like the LOOK of more! Functions are something you'll play around with for the first couple weeks, and after that you'll just wear the watch as a timepiece

Man.... I am liking the looks of this G-Shock. The color combo is nice... It's kind of Breitling-ish. Also i luv that there is no seconds hand, instead it is a digital display. After wearing mechanical watches, i just don't like the seconds hand ticking on quartz watches.

[@masterg7895]

You're absolutely on point. As a Breitling enthusiast that owns at least a couple i found this to be my grail G because of those similarities. If not mechanical, i definately lean towards G-shocks.

Every Gshock is 200m or 20bar water resistant and is more than suitable for swimming and diving. In fact most divers I know wear Gshocks diving and wear expensive dive watches when not in the water :) So you are more than ok to wear it swimming and fishing

I've been wanting an analog smaller (for a G Shock) model, and this is almost exactly what I've been wanting. Negative LCD is my biggest gripe. I'm cool with no solar, *if* the battery swap is non-trivial. I'll need to research that. Also, to second what you said in the review, I tried one at the mall today, and the straps made this watch fit me great. Smaller 6.5 inch wrists in my case.
