Who would have thought that even a fake watch gets updated! Stay safe all

[@rushabhsoni8280]

Sir are u indian?

[@fantasyduc0201]

China now has a 3rd version , they can also watch this video and upgrade a fake

[@alexfreetime9597]

3:26 look how the 9 o'clock marker is shorter on the real one in order to accomodate the flow of the dail, while in the fake one it interrupts the circle and is clearly longer.

[@sendo974]

well seen thx

[@fermatt72]

I also noticed that the words G-SHOCK and PROTECTION on the bezel face are slightly curved on the genuine version compared to straight on the fake. Great videos, thanks so much for these

[@davidtodd907]

I received mine today, ordered from Amazon. I managed to buy it for £70.37 (UK) and that was the best price that I had seen - however I became a bit concerned after learning from your video that there's fakes about. So the very first thing I did even before I set it up was to come back here to check mine against this fake ...and phew , I'm relieved that I have a gen item. I'm now going off to set it up - so thx for the great video on what to look for in a Gen vs. Fake GS-2100.

[@captaincolumbo7860]

It would be almost impossible to have received a fake via Amazon, unless it was directly from their market sellers.

And, the criminals now know exactly what to fix for next time 😏😏

No they didn’t try to make it look exac the same they couldn’t anyways

They just have to contact the same Chinese manufacturer, Casio contracted, will get exactly the same.

[@ekomachine2224]

Great video man! So helpful to us.

[@kennethlow6619]

Thank you for this educational video. The biggest giveaway of a counterfeit watch is the DST and HND wording (perfectly aligned on a fake model), serial code on back case (font stands out from the writings), the circular day day indicator (sharp like curved claws on original, flattened on fake model) and the auto light function (fakes have this function, original doesn’t).

[@nmhulk666]

Great information, thanks for keeping people informed. Awesome video.

[@stevetrabajo4065]

I've been enjoying your videos! Thank you sir

Thank you Steve ☺️

[@TEDdotcom]

Thanks for uploading!

[@Vlad_Portnov]

Also notice how the back of the hour hand covers way more of the day dial compared to the real thing when it’s about 2-3pm. If you look on the side of the fake, the 4 screws are more recessed into the case vs the real.

[@wiiaregreat]

Compared this to my GA-2100-1A1 that I was lucky enough to buy from Tilly's and instantly spotted all the fake's flaws compared to mine. Definitely sticking to authorized retailers like so as these fakes are getting quite detailed, lol. Thank you for the info!

[@bobgox]

[@kelvin4019]

this is a very very good video for us all to do a comparison to spot out a fake CasiOak

[@milolll]

love that little submarine.

[@jasonpark5692]

The mat finish on the dials looks very different as well

[@onemat2000]

I notice the real one has a serial number on the back. The fake one has no serial number.

[@drivebd]

The axis that holds the hour-minute and day hands are the obvious giveaway, as well as the back plate and thickness. That is how I identify them personally.

[@erikanderson3633]

Looks like something you missed on both videos was the actual carbon core. On the fake it seems there is none. its just a solid plastic case where on the original you can see the separation of the carbon core and the plastic bezel @4:35 looking at the backs.

[@JusticeForSome]

Good catch!

[@Chris-ke3zm]

Where did you source the fake one though?

[@dimmink1653]

Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.

[@migelmartinez8195]

What will happen if u press adjust, mode and start at the same time, in other gshock it will show model number and model number should be the same at the back. Can u try?

[@migsebana1011]

Nice video very helpful

[@jasonpark5692]

After I find and buy a "great deal" on eBay I find this video! Now I am worried about what is going to show up instead of being excited! Are they doing fakes in all colors? I ordered the all gray version.

[@user-dv1hw6gd2z]

How about retracting the arrows to the zero position when setting the time on a fake? Did they add this functionality to a fake?

[@Gsyoku]

Just checked, it doesnt have that in both fake watches

[@user-dv1hw6gd2z]

@@Gsyoku You are awesome. Thank you so much. I'm waiting for delivery GA-2110su-3AER I think if there is a fake, it will be by analogy with GA-2100-1A1

[@urindejbwhi24584]

Lume on a fake is better?

[@ryugarai2668]

Compare the functions.

[@SUGGONDEEZ_NUTZ]

The main difference is that the real one really has a carbon core guard which can be seen on the case back

jeez i just ordered one from Amazon - unfortunately I'm not going to be able to tell if it is fake or real until I receive it as the differences are very subtle. However I will be using your video to educate myself and I will be sending it back if it turns out to be a fake . Great video on the comparisons , so thx

[@MartinLuetzelberger]

I also have a bad feeling when I buy a watch on Amazon. I can give you a tip. You can have a map displayed on the internet showing all the official Casio partners in your country. Now you have to find an online shop where the address matches such a Casio partner. Always buy G-Shocks the direct way. The offer and the price are much better than on Amazon. For me, Amazon is only the last option if a watch cannot be found anywhere else.

[@NNWNW071]

I have the original watch from the official distribution, but in the black and orange version, and the inscription "casio thailand" on the buckle is identical to the one you have on this counterfeit watch. Watching these videos you can fall into paranoia, even though I have a 100% original, I find some differences by force 😀 Hands should be cut off for the manufacture and sale of counterfeits. Elo 🙋‍♂️

[@felixvillalon8909]

Also no serial number at the back

[@LelaIskandarSuhaimi]

This serial number is one that's baffling me. I've seen reviews of this watch in some Casio fan sites and the back of some of the watches don't appear to have serial numbers. These watches look the same as original, except for that. You can also look at Casio International site. The back case doesn't have a serial number : www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/watch_detail/GA-2100-1A1/ Anyone has an answer?

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

I think I got faked. The ebay seller showed 9 pictures, and lettering DST HND looks like the fake, the thickness and the watch band buckle look wrong. Mind you these are stock pictures, but im pretty sure when I get it, im getting a fake at this point. Its a black dial with silver case, so its a bit different than this one. but I got scammed dang it. Cant cancel the order either.

[@ivankriuchkov7733]

I feel like the fake developer is somewhere around your subscribers 😂

[@kevinl6231]

I ordered mine off Amazon. It came in a black presentation box, no intl warranty, and the buckle says “Casio China.” It is the butter yellow one that is no longer in production. What do you think? Thanks!

[@Vlad_Portnov]

I just got that same version, also off Amazon. Is it the really pure yellow one or the more cream colored? If the cream, that’s a Japanese only version which is why it comes in the nice black, textured box with a black sleeve. The Japanese ones don’t have the warranty cards. It does have the Japanese price tag and a white carbon core guard tag on the upper wrist band. My buckle also says Casio china which was surprising. Appears to be genuine to me though based on everything in the video and more.
