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!

[@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!

[@kdtechniquesofficial6153]

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

[@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?

[@claudiaimmanuelchua]

Thanks for doing this, it's so much help!

[@Gsyoku]

Thanks for watching :)

[@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.

[@MrYaomingchen]

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

[@okinawapunter]

Great precious info. Thanks.

[@2536528]

It amazes me that someone would fake a $100 watch.

[@mikepaul3881]

Thanks for the video!

Good video 👍.. Real clear comparison..

[@akabennypesos]

Very helpful video. Thanks.

[@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!

[@user-gj7jq7hx5r]

thanks, I will buy this watch in a couple of days. this video was useful to me.

Thanks 4 the Review 💪

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

[@burger659]

yes ! i have one

[@ralphy4813]

One of the best watch along with the squares! Copped mine the stealth colorway!

Where did you buy from? Difficult to find these days

Thanks for this. I bought my yellow 2110 off of eBay and according to your video, I bought a genuine watch.

Hi there can u pm me which ebay seller u bought from ?

[@LordKosmux]

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

[@lancarjaya9593]

Thank you for this video

Is the GA 2100 SKELETON same as the original one in the video

[@hobi1985]

hi is there any chance to get a leather strap on this nice watch?

[@DAVIDCALDERA23]

Thank you for this

[@rubensanmaurodelbosqur1950]

Excelente video 😀

[@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

[@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.

Thanks Man

[@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 😊 👍

[@wildbill6366]

Thanks for the information I got a fake one from a watch seller in hallandale Beach Florida. 😑😑😑😑😑

[@rickythokchom4006]

But the current copy is bit similar with the original one including the lightning and digital dial

[@badass0073]

What is Aaa grade

[@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?

[@jamesparker6447]

Hi! Is there a way to tell the difference between a GA-2100-1A (From USA) from the offshore ones, example GA-2100-1AJF? Thank you!

[@Gsyoku]

For GA-2100, there is no difference between the two. Packaging slightly different for Japan Domestic Model.

[@jamesparker6447]

@@Gsyoku Thank you

[@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.

[@alvarolc1922]

Gracias por mostrarnos los fake watchs

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

Can you give me a link to the fake one plz

well now i know that my friends are genuine! i got the genuine one from my friends at school so now i know that they actually care!

[@AmanKumar-yg1kv]

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

[@rilll9198]

Please tell me where i can buy this watch?? Trust seller? And how much

[@kcgfy81]

The LCD is a dead giveaway. I mean you can google the images online and can see the obvious differences.

[@eangsereivuthy5559]

Thanks you a lot but I don’t know how to buy from Cambodia 🇰🇭

[@nishantgautam1075]

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.

[@landwomble]

Really helpful. The one I have is a fake and all these tells are 100% the same on mine.

[@Gsyoku]

Glad it helped. Hope you will be able to get a refund on yours.

[@jaffarsamuel7919]

I see the fake one it has bold white letters and the one on the left has smaller letters

[@ombreeslai7720]

Me ayudó mucho el video

[@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.

[@trabun]

quick release on the strap. not present on fake

[@rostam43]

very helpfull

[@avim4896]

I would love to get the fake one

[@Wex_6]

Got the milky way ed, can’t believe if someone tried to copy it he would end up paying too much for copy crap

[@rikgroenevelt9395]

Very good

[@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

[@muhdidzan7931]

the all black cost 300 ...luckily i got black n white version .so cheap i feel wearing luminox watch

[@Gsyoku]

It's a beautiful watch!

[@TEVOUT30]

My buckle says casio china

[@mpoerot8013]

I'm happy that I got the fake one for fake price

[@farahnomi]

Appreciate your tips and tricks.. I bought my casio ga2100 from casio UK and I paid £109 for the clear version.. So i am hoping it's genuine. 😁

Nice one! that's the hottest model right now. Enjoy the watch

U can identify it by the pricing.. If it's good to be true so it's fake..

Buying a fake G shock just completely defeats the purpose of buying a G shock... I had a genuine GA-2100-1A1ER but sold it before the price jump, kinda miss it...

One more difference: the CASEBACK SCREWS!

Yes, another difference i missed out...the band on the fake does not have a quick release mechanism!
