Mad Watch Collector Reviews The Casioak GA-2100-1AER

[@vintageswiss9096]

The orange accent on the G-Shock branding is a nod to the hunters that wear this model. The camouflage you see on the bezel is the camo hunters wear, and the orange accent is the Safety Orange gear (hat or vest) you need to wear do that other hunters see you. Awesome review. I just bought the 1A1 today because of you…

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

This is great my friend thank you very much!

[@bitterboar]

I hope you eventually do a video of the greatest “what the wife said” comments.

[@peterkull8354]

YessssssssssssssssssSSSSir, I hope for this to happen toooo!

[@nightknight9415]

Pure madness Russell, thanks 4 another brilliant video. If Casio had made this solar with better lume & multiband-6 then it would be more appealing. The "EFS-s570D-1a" is far more deserving of the CasiOak name. Cheers & keep up your great work mate! 🍻🍺🍺🥂🍷🍷

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Great point my friend! Will be taking a look at that soon!!

[@nightknight9415]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Will be looking forward 2 that review. Just wish it had a rotating bezel so that Kurt Santana from the WBF could make an appearance! 😁😄😂🤣 Have a superlative remainder of your weekend Russell. 👏👏👏👍

Great video, i have now had several Casioaks , and kept the skeleton in dark metallic grey, i truly believe in years to come this will be an icon ❤

I was just wearing my black GA2100 today! Great for trips to the gym too

I am using Seiko Five and Casio GA-2100 series. Both are great watches🥰✨

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Absolutely!! All the best!

[@frankgerace5997]

Just got the black version of this watch-not the all-black “stealth” one-mine has white hands and hour markers, like the one Jody at Just One More Watch has. I like that one, but that camo version looks cool, too!!

[@modmod392]

Great content. You brighten my day man. Your vibe is so positive. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

THANK YOU MY FRIEND!

[@peterkull8354]

These videos of yours are getting better n´ better on every other show.................. just crackin` ! I like this GI-Joe (esque) thing !

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Hahahaha thank you Peter!!

[@peterkull8354]

As I have no experience in this, I wonder how many work hours it might take to produce such a show............not to speak about the time to develope these ideas for jingles, laughter, BARKINGS and all this other totally crazy stuff ? It all looks so light hearted - but I have a notion about the extra effort to make something so complicated and comprehensive to appear sooo subtle AND after all being a father, a husband, a tennis teacher / trainer and a watch addicted. Even if you don´t tell me - Russell - keep on with the good work and make us light hearted !

[@fungus70]

Hey....I just bought the same model today. Just felt this has to be in every watch enthusiast's collection.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

It’s a good’n my friend!!;)

Thanks for watching Mike!

[@hendersonshorology]

Fantastic review! Absolutely love my ‘casiyolk’ yellow version and you’re right, despite the dimensions it really doesn’t wear that big and the comfort is 👍🏻 My go-to watch when I’m out and about with the boy. Cheers!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you my friend! A very comfy fit absolutely! Hope you have a nice weekend!

[@chi1057]

Another brilliant episode Russ. Love the watch, and the channel! Cheers !

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you my friend!

[@aui101]

Well done video. Thank you. Love my absolutely stylish GA- 2100 "all black" but when I need to read the time, I have to put on the 5610 😂😂😂 or take the cellphone or every other watch 🤣 Nevertheless I wouldn't switch to the camouflage. Don't like the color of the bezel though the dial is very nice and readable😀

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you for watching my friend! Yeah see I really liked the drop of orange of the GShock printed on the dial and the khaki colour to the hands and markers!!

[@idletime]

Thanks my friend, great video 😃 . A casioak is on my bucket list but so are a few others like the new batman bezel vostok and wave dial vostok 🙃

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Basically all new Vostoks!!!!! ;) that’s great though! Thanks for watching IT!

[@whiteglovewatches9908]

I saw no less than 5 people wearing pajamas in the grocery store this afternoon... I’ll wear the minioak in black if I want

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

WGW!!!! absolutely!!

[@TickSweep]

Classic from the wife Russ! I’m certainly tempted but my wrist are small

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

I just bought the gray with the camo dial and its pure awesomeness! 37$ out the door! Couldn’t resist

[@NpcFromEst]

I won't lie, I like it a lot, but then I will have to many g shocks😂 still watching this video and rocking my ga-100 black dial, and doing the garden

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you for watching my friend!!

[@timtimecollector9808]

Great review as always, It does look good in the camo version. I still love my GW-M 5600 the best though. I just got my new from Argos, Casio MRW-200H, only £14.99 at the moment. It looks like a great little Casio for the money 👍

[@bevboakes8982]

Got the black and white,love it. Ordered a modding kit on its way ,black and silver case orange rubber strap,let’s see what it looks like once I changed it over.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Oooo very nice would be great to see the finished metal watch Bev!

[@garethsigrist8714]

Another stellar show MWC 👏👏👏👏 The Seiko Showcase was a fantastic shot 🍓 (if anyone needs me I’ll be looking at SNX73s on eBay for the rest of the day 🤣). I must confess, all the fuss and hype around these totally went over my head previously. I always wrote them off as too big based on the on paper specs and since the look never did much for me I thought that was that. But you have almost turned me around on them 😂 I’ve gone from not wanting to know to Casioak curious 🤣 I’m saving for an Oris at the moment so trying to resist these awesome bargain pieces which chip away at the watch budget. But maybe one day 😂

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you Gareth! Yes great Seiko Showcase watch!!!! What Oris my friend?!

[@garethsigrist8714]

I’m fallen for the Big Crown Propilot Big Date. It’s 41mm, basically a modern fliger style watch (more like an IWC than a classic looking Laco or Stowa, if you get what I mean). I’ve really fallen for this watch in particular and Oris as a brand but can’t help but think it’s going to be on the cusp of being too big for me (even though I’ve heard from several people it doesn’t wear 41mm). I’m going to be in London in the summer for a few days to attend a friend’s wedding so I’m going to sneak off to the Oris boutique and try everything they have on 😂

[@tiote_paris6106]

Cheers Gareth very kind of you. The entire SNXS range are lovely watches, definitely the best 100 quid I ever spent!

[@darrenfry4695]

Didn't like G shocks before I watch this , finding out all it can do has changed my mind but I think it'll be too big for my wrists I'll have to try one on..thanks for the review

[@IBoughtAWatch]

Looks great, always had my eye on this watch might have to take the plunge!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Would suit you a treat ! Perfect wrist size I reckon!

[@WatchWeeb]

Oh boi, sorry Russ, I was a bit late to comment on this video. Glad that you liked it! That splash of camo on the bezel is so Arnie!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

No probs at all my friend!!! It’s a great watch! The camo part is way to manly for me but I love it!

[@mi5t3rk3vlar]

Bought the same one about 2 months ago fits a treat on a smaller wrist!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

It is a nice looking watch no denying at all!

[@watchesandsmiles1971]

Great video mate and honest comparison..the 5610 Is still my favorite G front the 2 but my new favorite G-shock is the Ga-500 😍😍

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks for watching Ritchie!

[@jeffm0518]

Thank you Russell for another GREAT video. I love it every time you tell us "what the wife said". You are going to have to put her on the show in a quick clip one of these days. Also, was that her holding both watches when you were showing them side by side? Anyways, I've been sharing your videos with my "watch buddies" and I know some of them have started to watch your show. Have a GREAT day and as always thank you for ALL you do for the watch community!

nice watch to put on when I'm playing with my action man in the garden

I like my Matt black GA2100 jobbie. But sometimes, it can be difficult to read..........

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Why would you not want the GI joe version??? Ha ha loved the vid. Obviously right in my zone. A pink casioak mini would look great I reckon :)

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Haha well that’s what I thought!!!

[@davemck1887]

Nice one Russell. Casio have dropped the feminine marketing angle and are trying to say the smaller ones are unisex now.🤣🤣 Where's me high heels?🤣

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Right next to my pair Dave!!!!!

[@chriswilson3126]

Great review. I've spent ages pondering whether to get one of these, but thanks to this vid I think I won't be. It does look cool but I value back-light a lot on a g shock and this doesn't seem to cut it.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks for watching Chris!

[@gervers]

Only one word required! Brilliant!!!!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you man appreciate that a lot!

[@casiowatchers7511]

The Casioak is awesome, but the best for me will always be the 5610

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Amen!

[@robo62]

You can also see the date press start in home time and you can switch between time or date on the display

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

The footage of that wasn’t clear so I cut it out ! Thank you for this my friend!

[@watchuwatching1286]

Is there anything those G-Shock folks can't do... Besides making an attractive watch..? 😜 Great and fun vid as always! I think it's time for an appearance from the wife though.. She sounds like a riot!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Hahahaha no chance!;)

[@cakraparindra4659]

If you like this one, I suggest you look into the newly released G-shock G-steel GST-B400. It's named the thinnest metal G-shock to date and I think it'll sell like hot cakes as well despite the high price..

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Awesome my friend! I will check this out!

[@dunderhay9169]

Brilliant review 😁. The original is so much more legible, and no lume on the markers......madness!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you very much my friend and welcome aboard!! What a watch that is for sure!!!

[@tiote_paris6106]

Yessssssssssssss! Life = complete Cheers Russell! Another great vid and love the Casioak. I was unsure whether it might be a bit hard to read but to be honest I don't really care, it's beautiful and there's definitely nothing wrong with the camo version! I do prefer my 5610 though and I'm not as stylish as H from steps 😅

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Yes Tiote how could I refuse!!!!! I agree with you 100%

[@brendanmcateer5827]

Don't know about the camo bezel? A positive display and I would be sold on it. Negative displays are only good if bigger and even then can be a bollox to read. Good video Russell.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks Brendan! It’s hard not to agree mate! But on this reference the positive display would’ve worked well!!!!

[@sophiahauser3300]

Thanks for the great review Russell. Totally agree regarding the smaller Casioak. I don't like those colours either. Why can't all watchmakers move past gender and market watches by size, movement and function?

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks Sophia! It seems we still are just not past that yet!!!!

[@hyperlingg7608]

I'll rather stick to my square with solar and atomic clock sync. What do you think of the revisited AW 500e? Kinda like the design a bit more.

[@TheDenzel2012]

I love this review 😅.. and you know what, all the camo bezels look the same.. what a coincidence 😂. Still.. It's an iconic watch❤.

Great review sir, I’m not a huge fan of this particular model but I love g shocks especially my all steel, I like some heft on them haha

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks for watching my friend !

[@brandonnickerson8934]

Nice review. I have never been a Casio fan at all. I get it though. Just not my bag. My 13 year old has one, it's great. As a boy, I was in the Ironman camp. Had a regular, golf, digi/analog, and Mission Impossible SS edition through the years. 45mm is beastly, I struggle to go bigger than 42mm with a 8.75" wrist. 5 alarms? Wtf, I struggle with one on my Seiko Flighty. Hahaha I think you would be the only person to sway me at this point.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Haha! Well I would still say that the 5610 is the greatest G so far! I long journey ahead though Brandon ! ;)

[@djapojunior]

The Casioak is great, but nothing beats the 5610 when it comes to G-Shock.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Agreed Tom!

[@jsimons9630]

Madness! Another great video!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks for watching !!!

[@twraia]

I am surprised to see that the backlight seems subpar on this watch. I only have the full metal version of this watch and the backlight on it is very good, certainly more than enough to illuminate the entire dial. Can anyone comment whether the full metal version has a different backlight to the standard version? Or maybe we just have different standards?

[@alanb1498]

Went put to look at one of these...then saw a citizen promaster diver on sale for 180 euro only catch it had a green bezel which turned me off...so I bought the casioak..but then went back and bought the other...later on feeling all high and watched up I passed another shop and saw something..a sekonda 1846 diver for 65 euro???...looks like a vintage diver and despite its faults it still looks good..I came home with three watchs...to add to the rest...she will kill me...ha ha.....but she has been a better watch listener since I bought her the baby g...casioak are a macho watch and would look good on anu action star....some of the other g shocks are like technical bricks...

[@jacknjill3000]

I got the one with the silver metal bezel and looks incredible! But I just found out there was another slimmer version made by Casio/Edifice and that one looks like the AP watch without modifing.

[@watchweirdo5302]

funny review as usual! 😂 the wife~section is my favourite. 👍🏼 keep going on like that... 🤡 referring to the g-shocks, i‘d stick to my 5610. it‘s a real classic and, in my opinion, the dial of the casioak is just too messy. 🙈 have a nice week(end)... 🎾👊🏼💥💪🏼

[@3040-f9g]

Great vid as usual. My personal feeling is watches should be either ana or digital, not both (which produces a compromise). While the CasiOak might appeal to the more fashion conscience, for me the squares represent the purity of G-Shock heritage.

[@richardtwyning]

A thumbs up from me sir. Why don't they make a solar version though! My wife probably wouldn't like it. Positive news for my wife though is that she's agreed to let me buy her the lavender dial Islander for her birthday. Her first automatic watch. Really chuffed. My oldest solar watch is my Casio Protrek, 17 years old. I'll tag you on a photo sir :-)
