Bro...G shock are the best watches ever....I bought one when I was 15 I still have that watch I'm 41 now and that watch still works perfectly

[@plle89]

exactly. They do last forever (or they used to). This model is not the best example. Casio has decreased the quality standards for the gshock line in terms of construction . They used to be real tool watches (remember the commercial with the hockey player?) The "triple 10" philosophy is not a standard any more . Now they are targeting the fashion market. I guess it is the most profitable nowadays. Luckyly we still have the classic models that have at least some of the quality of the good old ones.

[@gautambose]

@@plle89 it's because of watches like these that generate a lot of money that they are even able to afford to keep the older designs around, however we can't just say this isn't a reliable or robust watch yet because we don't know how reliable the carbon core guard compound is

[@totallyfrozen]

@@plle89 Your comment sounds definitive. You can’t say that. The Casio G-Shock line is vast. There are so many different models of g-shocks from $30 to $2K. They make some more fashionable watches and some tacticool models like the Mud Master and stuff, but they still make the affordable work horses that many military personnel rely on.

[@arnavnarayan2105]

@@plle89 I think it depends watch to watch. The GA line has some pretty tough watches like the 100, 110, 700, 900 and 1000. The mudmaster is tough as hell. This one while it does not have that degree of toughness, will most probably be bought by people who do not need that level of toughness either.

[@SD_702]

I second this

[@jargonaut8956]

I have several G-Shock watches. I bought a grey 2100 with an urban camo face. A young man that works for me fell in love with it and is an aspiring watch collector. I took it off my wrist and gave it to him. I told him that if he wants to be a collector he has to have at least one G-Shock. He was blown away and I can always get another one. 😁👍🏾

[@jargonaut8956]

I later gave him the tin case and international warranty card.

[@mariodelatorre3211]

Let him know that I would like to give him a Seiko 5 . If he hasn't experienced automatics he can. Us collectors shouldn't be snobs. If someone is interested in our hobby we should help out. When I started to get into watches, I only thought the only type of watches were quartz. My 1 watch is a Seiko SUR356 quartz , then I got a Movado 800series quartz. Teddy's videos is where I learned about quartz and automatic. Nothing against quartz! I love quartz. My 1st Seiko SUR356 I passed it on to my 15 yr old son and it's still running with the factory battery!

[@horologie]

I own several Rolex, and I just purchased this. It's coming this week via the post. But I am just as excited for this as I've been for my other, more expensive pieces. It's a fantastic watch with a great design.

[@erikrosli]

I’m glad you give these G-shocks exposure on your channel teddy. I bought mine 2 months ago but the silver metal version. Gotten lots of compliments on how it looks and I love how comfortable it wears on the wrist.

[@Marc_prime]

Awesome Erik! And how does the metal feel - light or weighty? I've got the black on black one, love it

[@erikrosli]

@@Marc_prime actually it feels barely noticeable, not once have i felt uncomfortable wearing it. It’s a daily watch on me for now and gotta say Casio ticks most of the checkboxes for the price point

[@vladbsr8739]

@@erikrosli agree. Got the steel bezel one too. It’s not bulky and not as heavy as I thought it would be. It really feels great !

[@nicholaswheeler9385]

Whenever I’m thinking about a certain watch to buy I always search it on KZbin and I almost always find a review on it from you and that’s how I base my decision! I love how much detail you give about everything and really helps me make my decision!

[@ninenine5804]

After a lot of digging, last year I got the scarce (at that time) full black Casioak, below MSRP

[@MaximumRes]

Never been a big fan of the bulk typical g shock models but found this one online a little while ago and loved it. Have the all black/stealth model. - took me a bit to figure out the settings but this video would have really sped things up! Excellent review @teddy. Thank you hard to beat the features for the price.

[@halidagil8770]

I've read that the "CasiOak" design is actually inspired by the first two G-Shock models: the DW5000 and the AW500. It was intended to combine the iconic elements of both models to create an ana-digi version of the DW5000. The similarities with the Royal Oak is unintentional.

[@mt_0712]

​@@ヨーロッパ皇帝😂

[@mt_0712]

True. There are multiple octagonal casios already, square g shocks and even AE1200 or Casio Royale series. They just increased the length of diagonal faced sides and made dial circular inside

[@manoflego123]

Just got my dad one of these for his birthday as a beater watch and he loves it. I catch him wearing it at least a few times a week. I was on the fence about it at first but can honestly say I'm a fan now and will probably get one at some point.

[@lensofthenorth42]

I love that, despite being an authorized dealer for some of the classiest watch brands out there, you still don't look down on practical tool watches like G Shocks! I've always been of the opinion that when it comes to watches, if you feel happy seeing it around your wrist, go for it.. which is why my daily driver is a mudmaster G shock

[@TheChico868]

Casio is the Godfather of digital watches.

[@brianmsahin]

Great video Teddy. I love my G-Shock Mudmaster I use trekking, it can survive anything other than an asteroid strike and maybe it might survive that too! These are very attractive casual watches and now of course there is the all metal version which is truly stunning. You might even manage to get away with wearing a suit with the dark green and blue metal Casioaks.

[@danbrewer9169]

Pure serendipity. Came across this while wearing my blue/gray variant. Love it!

[@duolccmjohn]

Great video, I just bought the grey Casioak. I have 10 G shock watches in my collection plus a few other brands, Casio is my favorite watch brand. I have the first G shock watch that I got for a high school graduation gift in 1983, It still works. Thank you for all the information you have, I plan on buying more G shock watches to add to my collection. I love the solar and atomic time keeping features, Keep up the great work.

[@shadowninja569]

This watch made me start a watch collection, currrently have 8, 4 metal versions, 4 regular looking to buy more so I can customize.

[@deankoontz4588]

I love the design and got myself the steel case version - in green. Love the way it looks and feel, just slightly heavier than the ones you showed in this video.

Love these watches! I own a GM-2100 (the metal version) myself and wear it almost everyday, can't think of a much better beater watch.

[@joshuathomas512]

Didn't know they had a metal one! I want one soon

[@arthurnathancavada9022]

Got myself the grey one and my wife the white with pink/prple strap last March. Really love it!

[@ShardsOfNarsil]

I got the virtual reality version they just released and it's great. The comfort factor is it's biggest quality I find myself wearing it for that fact alone.

[@ShardsOfNarsil]

@VonSuper Hanz Lol.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

I fell in love with the yellow/black colourway two years ago. I wear it with any clothing and for any situation and it just works. Also, if anyone gives you snobbery about wearing a Casio, kindly remind them it's pronounced "cashio". 😎

[@MiekSr]

High production G-Shock review. Love it. Would love to see some more G-Shock reviews done by the channel.

[@DanRC69]

I bought the Khaki green version and i thought it wouldn't be quite as good as my atomic, square 5600, but was surprised to see it gained probably less than half a second over 1 MONTH, so it not having 'multiband 6' is definitely not a loss. It's an incredibly light and comfortable watch, i only wish the digital part was actually VISIBLE, It's just so tiny, so you need to be under good lighting to read ANYTHING on it. Still a FANTASTIC purchase though.

[@towerguarder]

I own so many divers. But I ONLY dive with g shocks. Best utility watch ever. Ordering the army green casioak 😍

[@umar78669]

Hey that was one of the best Explanation . First time being on ur channel video 👍

You can have amazing watch collection but it will never be full without a gshock. That is I love gshocks. No watch enthusiast will say it's crap.

the problem i have with most of these g-shocks is the color schemes make it difficult to read the watch. the hour markers and hands of the watch need to stand out more from the dial color imo

[@Godfamcountry]

Great review and content! Just small PSA, if you're thinking about getting one of these G-Shocks, make sure to see them in person as the depiction here saturates the color to a different shade.

[@edwardm.9316]

The one feature that I need this watch to have before I buy one is to have it in Tough Solar. I don't like the hassle of having to swap out batteries, and there's a possibility that moisture can enter the watch should the caseback be opened (this is a tropical humid country).

[@pkennethv]

2:14 Gotta disagree with you there. If you get the metal AP style casing you've got yourself a watch that goes extremely well with a suit.

Brilliant overview! Thank you for sharing. I picked up the black and red version (The Stranger things edition - or at least so I was told... in Singapore 😅), love them both alongside my Seamaster 300M and Speedmaster.

You need to look at the new ones that just came out... instant classic! Hard to get the all silver.

Teddy, I'm watching this on the 23rd; a quick check at Amazon and I see that their version has [ 1A1] after the 2100. Do you know what this means? You didn't mention it. Is this considered a unisex watch because Amazon calls it such.
