How to identify FAKE CasiOak G-Shock GA-2100-1A1? | Don't buy it!

[@FutureCivilWarHero]

Phew!! I feel much better about my online purchase!! Every detail you covered checked out %100 on mine. Thank u

[@SirPablo2Pablo]

I checked mine too. Phew indeed. Did not want to have wasted money

[@leethomas7659]

The diagnostic mode had my heart going!

[@alexbyhovtsov5012]

3:58. On the original ones buckle may also have Casio China.

[@burger659]

yes ! i have one

[@hcwm2]

Good to know. I bought one an Amazon yesterday and while I don't think they would sell fakes I still will check this one closely when it arrives.

[@Arjid_]

Was it real?

That's what you call a comparison video. Good job mate.

[@62ndWatchCo]

Just got mine in the mail today and used your video to verify it's authenticity. Looked it over and it's legit! Thanks for you video!

[@erikanderson3633]

Looks like something you missed 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 @3:35 lower left of the watch back.

[@joshuaychung]

Good call.

[@Executor009]

Daaamn, nice catch, i have been using my 2100 for a week now and havent noticed that, another tell is the screws it appears in the fake are smaller.

[@akabennypesos]

Very helpful video. Thanks.

Where did you buy from? Difficult to find these days

[@malikkelly]

Thank you bro ❤❤

[@Youtuber-o]

Thank you for making this video. I have several G-shocks but not that one, but this is a good video to learn to pay attention to details of all Casio G-shocks before buying.

[@Gsyoku]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rafahmiamir]

Good video 👍.. Real clear comparison..

[@runningawayvagabond5876]

Interesting that you've posted this video - these GA-2100's are all over the used online ad's at all sorts of pricepoints in my area and I was thinking where are all these watches coming from since they are so hard to get new? Gotta be fakes and here is confirmation they probably are. EDIT: Just for fun I went and looked at one of the ads and it looks EXACTLY like what you have in your video - 3 line LCD, letters in the bezel to close to the crystal, etc. I asked for a photo of the rear case and it was exactly like yours right down to the serial number. Told the guy it's fake and he says he knows, he just has it listed in case someone else might want it. Yet his ad didn't say it was fake and he's asking $250.- What a crook. I should have asked him if it was authentic first.

[@Gsyoku]

Be safe out there. Glad that this video helped out a little

[@leomedina5614]

There was a guy selling one that was also a fake on EBay. I messaged him and he never said anything but he had it posted for $300 and I’m pretty sure someone bought it. Sadly whoever bought it sends it right back.

[@TeneTsTaroT]

Japan: we sell u good watch for $100 China: we got you for $50

[@HellcatIsAGreatTank]

honestly i bought some casio watches in China and they were all suprisingly legit, i was kinda worried for a bit because it was cheaper (around 90$) but it was actually real!

[@MrYaomingchen]

I bought this watch last year, and I finally know it's genuine. Thank you.

[@h.google]

Thank you 👏👏

[@teasesang]

thank you, really helpful video :D

[@syahmizaidie7620]

The original watch has quick release band and resin material (not common rubber). The quality way better than the fake one. Btw my first gshock was ga2100 ✌🏻

[@Gsyoku]

Great catch. I missed out the quick release and yes it's missing on fake one. Thanks for pointing out

Man you dont know that now replica of ga 2100 is made with so much accuracy that you can not find a single difference i bought one for 35 dollars and all features work like charm just like the original. It's minutes and hour hand also have the feature to go anticlock wise to adjust the time.

Is there still a chance of getting a fake watch, if i get it off the official casio website ??

I know people buy fake Rolexes, but if you buy a fake G-Shock? That's a new level of pathetic.

[@bengchiatseah3908]

They don't buy fake Casio, they were scammed.

[@MrFordguy73]

Trust me I had no idea this was even a thing until I stumbled on a few videos and figured out that my first one was indeed a fake. They reimburse me my money and didn't ask for the watch back, so I guess I have a beater watch.

[@NNWNW071]

Someone who deliberately buys any counterfeit product does not deserve to be called human.

@@NNWNW071 well the deliberate seller should be fined. I bought my g shock and had no clue it was fake, I was pissed. Lucille eBay refunded my money.

[@Aryanthakur-yt9bc]

@@MrFordguy73 If it doesn't look fake then what's the problem. I'm guessing you bought it for way cheaper as you bought it from eBay and not Casio official

[@WhySoSerious551]

I have a clone and a few real g shocks. There are different levels of clones, i can't tell the difference comparing them even in hand, that's how good a 2022 model is, i suppose if it were opened up there may be some differences, but what i'm told is, the good ones are made with the same parts....they all come out of thailand, wherever, so essentially its just a difference in whether your receipt is from a high street store or somewhere else, but essentially some clones are just the same, may be a few differences, if it were opened up, if in the gym, or even a night out i'm not wearing my shop bought watches, they're in their display boxes, i'm sticking the clones on, that goes across the board

[@z1gma]

[@FearTheBRIX]

Hello! Thank you for making this very helpful video!👌🏼 I am trying to get one of these watch and I noticed different variations on the last 2 letters of some models. So far I’ve seen GA-2100-1A1JF GA-2100-1A1DR GA-2100-1A1ER Do you know what are the differences ? Thank You!

[@Gsyoku]

JF = Watch is meant to be sold in Japan ER = European market DR = Asia/Other regions The watches are all made the same way in Thailand. No difference

[@FearTheBRIX]

Gsyoku and again... Thank You So Much 😊 👍

[@rikgroenevelt9395]

[@Draken8998]

I have question what doesADR and 1A1 means behind each of 2100 model?

[@LordKosmux]

Make a comparison with G-9300, if possible please. Or maybe a review?

[@JLU55]

On the red one, the buckle is plastic and I knew that but the buckle only says Thailand and not casio above. Everything else looks ok.

[@acethis]

Thanks for doing the video 👍 one more obvious indicator is the selling price. If it's too good to be true (filthy cheap), it's probably fake. I have seen some online e-commerce platforms selling the same watch for less than 1/5 of established sellers. Fake alert!!!

[@Gsyoku]

You are welcome. One the main reasons I did this video was...a friend paid full price for a fake watch...it was just so popular and everyone wanted one. Infact, I have seen another fake variant with some improvements,but the case back is still the bloated one.

[@edbobber524]

I think you've just saved me £50, thanks!!

[@SwazNasty]

There's a white ga2100 (among others around the same price) for 67$ shipped. It says it ships from China. Is this an obvious sign that it's probably not real? Or do some of these ga2100 colors sell for this low?
